Xie Yuan and Helian Jue were unaware of the story of the Star-Picking Tower.
Even if someone reports it, it will take a day or two.
At this moment, the couple are sitting around the desk, writing and drawing on a blank sheet of paper.
“Aping and his generation should be associated with the character ‘fire’.”
“I’ve circled a few words, A-Yuan, you can choose one.”
Helian Jue handed the brush to Xie Yuan, pointed to the lines of text on the paper, and said with a smile.
"Okay! Let me see!"
Xie Yuan nodded, took the brush, and glanced at each of the characters with the fire radical.
The four little ones have already celebrated their second birthday, and according to the ancient custom of counting age in the traditional Chinese way, they should be considered three years old.
A three-year-old child is basically established and can be given a name.
In ancient times, there was a custom that children should not be named too early, for fear that the King of Hell would record their names in the Book of Life and Death, and then something unexpected would happen.
Neither Xie Yuan nor Helian Jue were superstitious people.
However, when it comes to their child, the two of them have to think more.
It wasn't a big deal; at most, it would just delay the naming process by a couple of years, so the couple believed it once.
Now that the four little ones are three years old, Helian Jue has begun to consider names for his children.
"The character '烨' is good."
"And the character '灿' is also excellent!"
"Yes, the character '煌' is also acceptable!"
“This spirit is perfect for my youngest daughter.”
As Xie Yuan read, he casually circled a few words.
"Helian Ye! Helian Can! Helian Huang! Helian Ling!"
These characters were originally copied by Helian Jue, and now that his wife has chosen her favorite characters, Helian Jue naturally has no objection.
Thus, the four little ones officially got names.
The eldest prince, A Ping, is Helian Ye.
Princess A'an, Helian Can.
The Second Prince, Afu, was named Helian Huang.
Second Princess Ale, Helian Ling!
"Your Majesty, these four names are excellent. Let's settle on them."
Xie Yuan directly copied the names of the quadruplets onto a piece of white paper.
"Furthermore, A-Yuan, I want to make A-Ping the crown prince!"
Helian Jue's eyes were full of determination.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will likely only have these four children in his lifetime.
Although they were quadruplets, they were born on the same day and at the same time.
However, there is a specific order to follow.
Aping Helianye was the eldest son and the most legitimate heir.
Xie Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Although it is a bit early, the Sage is still in his prime. However, if the Sage has made up his mind, then let's appoint a Crown Prince."
Xie Yuan didn't feel the joy of "my son is going to be the crown prince." She stood on an equal footing with Helian Jue—this family business was built by her and Helian Jue together.
Helian Jue is the master, and Xie Yuan is the mistress.
Both Helian Jue and Xie Yuan have the right to choose an heir.
Furthermore, Helian Ye is their child, and their eldest son. From a moral, logical, public, and private perspective, he is the most suitable candidate for crown prince!
"Very well! I hereby order the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to select an auspicious day and time, and then formally establish Aping as the Crown Prince!"
"I will also bestow titles upon the other three children!"
“A’an is the eldest princess, of noble status, and her title and fiefdom cannot be taken lightly.”
"By the way, I remember that there are two counties in Chang'an. One county is called Chang'an and the other is called Wannian."
“Let’s bestow upon A’an the title of Princess Wannian, with Wannian County as her fief and a fief of five thousand households.”
Helian Jue was definitely the kind of person who loved everything associated with his idol.
He loved Xie Yuan, and therefore he also loved the child Xie Yuan bore for him.
How can an emperor prove that he loves a woman?
That is to appoint this woman as empress and make her child the crown prince.
There is only one Crown Prince, but the other children should also be given the most honorable treatment.
Choosing the future capital as his daughter's fiefdom demonstrates Helian Jue's love and respect for his eldest princess, Helian Can.
As a mother, Xie Yuan also wanted to give her child the best of everything.
She herself had several children before she could understand the "robbing the rich to help the poor" behavior of some extreme parents in later generations.
It's not that I'm intentionally biased; as parents, we just want all our children to have a good life!
The four little ones are quadruplets, born on the same day, month, and year.
The eldest son was born half an hour earlier and became the heir to the dynasty, which was somewhat unfair to the other three children.
Helian Jue probably felt sorry for his other three children, which is why he bestowed the title of Princess Wannian upon Helian Can.
"Afu is hereby appointed King of Yue!"
Helian Jue was indeed a master of impartiality, actually giving his former title to his second son who was not eligible to be the crown prince!
From then on, Lingnan became Helian Huang's fiefdom.
If Helian Huang has ambitions, let him continue to expand southward, instead of getting into internal strife with his own brother in the Central Plains!
Xie Yuan: ...Yes, I will teach my son well and tell him that this world is very, very big.
China is just a small region.
There is a much wider world outside where you can roam freely.
Of course, if Afu Helianhuang had no ambition and just wanted to lie down and be a rich and lazy bum, Xie Yuan would also indulge him!
"A-Le is hereby granted the title of Princess Pingjiang, with a fief of five thousand households!"
Helian Jue will not forget his youngest daughter.
Cough cough, although this daughter grew up to resemble his cold-hearted biological mother, she is still A Yuan's biological daughter after all.
Love me, love my dog!
Love me, love my dog!
Xie Yuan nodded.
Pingjiang may not seem as imposing as Wannian, but it is the ancestral home of the Helian clan, and can be considered the "place where the dragon rose".
Helian Jue bestowed the Helian clan's ancestral homeland upon Helian Ling, demonstrating his high regard for this young princess!
