The next day, Xiao Li met Yang Xuan.
"Yang Xuan pays respects to His Majesty."
The little person saluted in a very formal manner. It was obvious that Liu Yan had taught him. The etiquette of a scholar was exactly the same, but his eyebrows were handsome and his eyes were bright, revealing the heroic spirit of a military general.
He is a good little guy. No wonder he was able to establish the Xuantian Sect later.
She hadn't looked too closely at the corpse at Wuji Mountain, so she didn't know what Yang Xuan looked like when he grew up. However, the young Yang Xuan was about four or five points similar to the Yang Mingyue she had seen, especially the eyebrows and eyes, which were very beautiful.
Xiao Li hooked his finger: "Little guy, come here."
Yang Xuan glanced at his father, and after receiving an encouraging look from Yang Jun, he strode towards Xiao Li. He was well behaved, but after all, he was young, and there was a hint of timidity in his eyes.
Xiao Li pinched his cheek: "Are you afraid of me?"
Yang Xuan obediently shook his head: "I'm not afraid. Your Majesty is a benevolent and wise ruler, and he's very reasonable. There's no need to be afraid. But my uncle said that we must respect the emperor and not break the rules."
It turned out to be Liu Yan's teaching. He's such a conservative guy.
Xiao Li couldn't help but laugh. "Your father and the others have been with me for a long time, so their opinions of me are inevitably biased and selfish. You must learn the knowledge they teach you, but you must have your own judgment. Other people's thoughts are not your thoughts. Do you understand?"
Yang Xuan's eyes widened as he tried to understand: "Your Majesty, do you want Xuan'er to think for himself and come up with his own answer?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
Xiao Li raised his hand and touched his head. "I will give you a privilege. On the first day of every month, if you have any questions or requests, you can come to me in the palace. If you have a different opinion from your uncle and father, you can also tell me. Do you want to?"
Yang Jun looked at Xiao Li in surprise. His Majesty has never liked children, so why is he suddenly so special to his son?
But no matter what Your Majesty thinks, this is a great thing that no one else can ask for.
"Xuan'er, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Yang Xuan still didn't understand that he had obtained something comparable to a golden medal of immunity from death, so he could only obediently salute with a confused look on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift."
Yang Jun also knelt on one knee: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift."
Xiao Li glanced at him unhappily: "I'm not giving you this privilege. You and Liu Yan should take it easy. The child is only five years old. How can you be such a father if you force him to grow too fast?"
Yang Jun didn't dare to refute at all: "Your Majesty is right. I will pay more attention to it in the future."
Yang Xuan looked at his father, then at the empress.
At such a young age, he did not understand the imperial power or the bond between his father and the empress, but he could feel his father's loyalty and respect for the empress, as well as the kindness and majesty of Her Majesty.
Yang Jun took his son out to be watched. Feng Yin and Rong Qing came in, their eyes falling on Xiao Li at the same time, one gentle and the other sharp, but both filled with affection.
"His Majesty."
The two men saluted, and after receiving a signal from Xiao Li, Rong Qing turned around and stood naturally in the position where Yang Jun had just been.
Feng Yin walked to the side and sat down: "I just saw General Yang with his little prince. I haven't seen him for a long time. I didn't expect that he has grown so big."
Xiao Li chuckled: "Why, are you envious?"
Feng Yin immediately became anxious: "Your Majesty, you know I didn't mean that. I just said it casually."
It was common knowledge that the Empress did not want to have children, and no one dared to make Her Majesty suffer by giving birth to their own child.
No one dared to think about whether it was to continue the Xiao family's lineage or to continue the lineage for their own family.
This is Her Majesty Mingxi, who has unified the country. Who would dare to force the issue of having a child on her?
Besides, to Feng Yin and others, an unknown child is far less important than His Majesty.
Feng Yin is now the head of Mingxi Academy, in charge of the application and coordination of all colleges in the world, as well as the compilation of educational books. He holds the second rank official position and enjoys the treatment of a first rank official.
He has been in this position for ten years. As he grows older and has more experience, his baby-faced appearance has shed its youthful immaturity and become mature and steady.
He works in the officialdom and teaches people. When he puts on a stern face, he looks very dignified. No one will look down on him because of his face.
But as soon as he was in front of Xiao Li, all his calmness and dignity immediately returned to its original state.
Feng Yin was anxious, but when he saw Xiao Li's smiling eyes, he suddenly felt helpless.
"Your Majesty, please don't tease me."
After more than ten years of affection, he knew that His Majesty doted on him, but he also knew that certain principles could not be violated, and having children was one of them.
Xiao Li sneered, this idiot still can't stand being teased.
"His Majesty."
Wang Yizhuo and Wang Wanqing came in, bringing Xiao Mengyu with them.
Xiao Jingyi came in a few steps behind, and before he even arrived, he smiled and said, "Royal sister."
That flattering look is like a dog's.
He came back early this year, and unexpectedly arrived just in time for the imperial sister's banquet.
Since you came here shamelessly without an invitation, you should have smiled brightly.
It's really pitiful. He is the empress's only brother and the closest brother to her. But in the end, he is often driven away and no one loves him. It's really pitiful.
Xiao Li was hugged by Xiao Mengyu's legs again. This little kid was a little bigger than Yang Xuan and not short either, but because she liked hanging on Xiao Li's legs since she was a child, she still hung on him out of habit now that she has grown up.
Xiao Li hadn't seen such a scene for many years. When he was suddenly hugged, his eyelids couldn't help twitching.
Liu Yan and Yang Jun's model of raising children is not very good, but is there no problem with the way Wang Wanqing and Xiao Jingyi educate their children?
Xiao Li looked at her and she looked at Xiao Li too.
Xiao Mengyu smiled the same smile as her father, but more like a puppy.
A little kid with a big brain.
For the first time, Xiao Li bent down and touched her head, then picked her up and sat next to her.
Xiao Mengyu's eyes widened with surprise as she looked at her aunt, her mother, and her father.
Hehehe, Your Majesty’s favorite today is Mengyu!
Suddenly feeling a cold gaze from behind, Xiao Mengyu was so scared that she immediately hid in Xiao Li's arms.
Oh, there are bad guys!
Soon, Song Junzhan, Liu Yan, Tang Shuyu, Chu Yungui and others also arrived one after another. Although it was a banquet, they could not wait to eat. Those with a little status would come to pay their respects to His Majesty first.
The originally empty hall was now packed with people, looking quite lively.
Like all the guards, Rong Qing stood straight, watching the scene quietly while being fully alert.
He never joined in such excitement; his duty was to guard His Majesty, and he would only sit among the crowd when the banquet was about to begin.
But even when he was sitting at the table, he hardly spoke.
Compared to others, he is really dull. He will not take the initiative to please His Majesty, nor will he take the initiative to win favor.
However, as cold as his appearance was, his heart was hot. However, these passionate emotions would only be shown to her when His Majesty summoned him.
