"Queen, I'm sleepy." The little fellow yawned and said softly.
"Are you sleepy?" Yan Yuning was about to get up when Xuan Yanyu held her head and smiled, "He was just pretending. He just watched for a while, how could he be sleepy?"
"Xuan Xixi, didn't you tell your father that you were here to take care of Xiaoxiao? How can you take care of her if you're lying on a soft couch?"
The little fellow ran to the side of the couch and said seriously, "The queen is right."
"As long as I watch you not being lazy, it's all fine. With the Imperial Master, the Regent, and the Palace Martial Master, what else do you need me to do?"
Xuan Yanyu estimated the time and looked up at Ye Chen, "Send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the training ground. I will take a nap with Queen Xuan. Before dinner, bring the martial arts master to me. I want to check what the Crown Prince has learned this afternoon."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Chen sorted out his books and placed them in front of Xuan Yuncheng again, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I will take you to the training ground."
"No." The little guy looked at Xuan Yanyu and Yan Yuning with red eyes, "Father, Queen, Grandpa said that I can learn swordsmanship and horseback archery at the age of sixteen."
"Didn't you hear us while we were having dinner just now? Now it's me who is taking care of you." Xuan Yanyu ignored his tears.
"But the Emperor also said that father should not be too strict with his son." The little guy stopped looking at Xuan Yanyu. He squatted beside the soft couch, looking at Yan Yuning with tears in his eyes.
"It's not too late to learn at the age of six. We will learn at the age of six." Yan Yuning hugged the little guy in her arms with heartache and wiped his tears.
Xuan Yuncheng nestled in Yan Yuning's arms, his eyes secretly glanced at Xuan Yanyu, and when he met his father's cold eyes, he stuck out his tongue.
"Heh." Xuan Yanyu curled his lips, his handsome face looking at Xuan Yuncheng who was looking provocative, "You are getting bolder and bolder, huh?"
"Your Majesty, father is glaring at me." The little guy pretended to be scared and shrank into Yan Yuning's arms.
Ye Chen scratched his head. He felt that this scene was familiar, just like when Empress Xuan took Yan Shiyao's arm and said that she was afraid of their Majesty.
"Hmm?" Yan Yuning turned around and looked at Xuan Yanyu, whose expression couldn't be gentler.
"Ningning." The man sighed, "Xiaoxiao, as the crown prince, must learn both civil and military skills. He is not young anymore. I started learning when I was 18. Think about it. You always feel sorry for him. If he doesn't know anything with his status, what will he do if he encounters danger?"
"There are guards." The little guy replied.
"Can the guards be by your side all the time?" Xuan Yanyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
If it weren't for Ning Ning, he would have wanted to beat him up.
"Why not? Where else can they go if not by my side?"
"You..." Xuan Yanyu let out a breath and clenched his fists.
Any one of them could make him mad to death.
"Father, they are here to protect me. They will definitely stay by my side. Don't think too much." The little guy continued.
Yan Yuning held the man's clenched fist and patted it soothingly.
"Xiaoxiao." Yan Yuning said carefully, "The Queen thinks your father is right. Do you have to be like your father in the future..."
"Queen Qi." The little fellow glanced at Xuan Yanyu, his eyes bright as stars, "Queen Qi wants me to be like you? Then you don't have to worry about anything, and you can wake up whenever you want. Can I do the same?"
As far as he could remember, he had never seen his father go to court and deal with memorials like his grandfather did.
"Neither...nor." Yan Yu Ning pursed her lips, "What the Queen meant was...that you have to be like your Royal Grandfather."
The little fellow blinked and asked in confusion, "Queen, why doesn't your father have to be like your grandfather, but your son has to be like your grandfather?"
Yan Yu Ning was speechless. She handed Xuan Yun Cheng in her arms to Xuan Yan Yu and said hurriedly, "I suddenly remembered that there is something important. Xiao Xiao, you should talk to your father first."
"Queen? Queen!" Seeing Yan Yuning running out of the bedroom in a hurry, the little guy was even more panicked than Yan Yuning.
The man smiled and called slowly, "Xuan Yuncheng."
