The group of silly kids from Boqi Hall were all standing curiously in front of Boqi.
From birth, they knew that their destiny was to follow His Highness the Crown Prince in conquering all directions and protecting the people of Daqi.
But this was the first time they had ever seen the living Crown Prince.
Nervous, curious, wanting to get close yet afraid, wanting to say something yet not daring to be the first to speak.
Looking at the little ones in front of him, the gloom in his heart caused by Old Evil Qi was swept away.
Even the most grumpy person would show a slight smile in front of these little ones, afraid of scaring them.
The first to break the deadlock was a chubby little girl who opened her little hands and came to Qi Boqi.
"elder brother."
Dongfang Xiaoxiao is her maternal grandfather's granddaughter and her own youngest cousin.
The little girl was chubby and cute. After being picked up by Xiao Boqi, she started taking food out of the small pouch at her waist.
"Brother, you eat."
He opened his mouth and ate the snack that Xiao Xiao handed him, then nodded: "Mmm, delicious."
Xiao Xiao is very happy.
“These were all made by my older sister for my older brother. She said she would give them to him when he came back, but he never comes back, so she gave them to me to eat.”
The little girl's words surprised Qi Boqi. "Made by the little drum?"
That little brat can even make desserts? And she makes desserts for herself?
Did they release any poison?
But he really liked his chubby little sister, and Xiaoxiao loved snuggling in his arms.
But Xiao Boqi noticed that she would leave a piece of every kind of food, which puzzled him, so he asked Xiao Xiao about it.
"Why leave a piece? Just ask your sister to make another one after you've finished eating."
Xiao Xiao told Boqi very seriously.
"Because Xiaoxing has a very beautiful baby, she saves some food for her beautiful baby every day."
As he spoke, Xiao Xiao Hai gestured to Qi Boqi the shape of the treasure and the beautiful pictures inside it.
Xiao Xiao's words made Xiao Boqi's eyes narrow sharply.
The origin of the earth.
The Heavenly Dao desired it, but the Divine Book of Stealing Heaven could not be found anywhere. The Earth's core essence, which had disappeared from the Imperial Land for countless years, was truly within Xiao Xing's body.
At that moment, the Book of Stealing Heaven also moved, but it was fiercely suppressed by Xiao Boqi.
Hindsight is rubbish. I already know the location of the Earth's core, so what good will it do you to interfere now?
Are we going to go directly to Xiaoxing and steal it?
"But Xiaoxing is sick today and didn't come."
Dongfang Xiaoxiao spoke of this with some displeasure, but Xiao Boqi knew that Xiaoxing's illness must be due to the presence of the Heavenly Cave's Companion Jade on his body.
Just as he was about to go see Xiaoxing, his leg was hugged by a little guy again.
Qi Xiaoqi is the grandson of Qi Shanlin.
After Qi Xiaoqi hugged his leg, another boy in open-crotch pants came running towards him with a wide grin.
"Young master, young master, are you here to pick me up?"
Zhang Dachou, the uncle who wore open-crotch pants himself.
Behind Zhang Dachou, a hurried yet helpless voice rang out.
"You haven't even wiped your butt yet, why are you running away?"
Yuri, one of the teachers at Boqi Hall.
Upon seeing Yi Boqi, Youli smiled happily: "Young Master."
Yuri is always like this, so gentle it's intoxicating, and in her hand, she's holding a big, smelly piece of toilet paper that she hasn't wiped her bottom with yet.
She ran up to him and hugged his leg tightly: "Young Master, have you come to take me back?"
"You don't like Daqi?"
Zhang Dachou quickly shook his head: "I like it, but I want to bring my mother here. There are lots of delicious foods here."
He Boqi nodded to him: "Okay, we'll bring your mother over once this is over, but you'd better clean up your mess first."
Dongfang Xiaoxiao reluctantly got down from Qi Boqi's arms, while Qi Boqi squatted down and looked at Qi Xiaoqi in front of him.
Why is his name Qi Xiaoqi?
The little girl in the open-crotch pants scratched her face and told Yi Boqi very seriously.
“My grandfather said that you can’t put powder on your butt, you have to say it out loud, and you have to make your loyalty clear at a glance. So my name is Qi Xiaoqi, and I will be loyal to Daqi and His Highness the Crown Prince for all eternity.”
Look, this is family education, this is what it means to start from childhood, this is the highest level of flattery, and this is the real way to win at the starting line.
Ye Boqi naturally knew what kind of person Qi Shanlin was. As the Grand Marshal of the Great Qi Army, he held immense military power in the Great Qi. Emperor Ye Jiusheng of the Great Qi did not concern himself with politics, and the Crown Prince was not in the Great Qi for many years.
Therefore, the prime minister Dongfang Zhige was in charge of political affairs, while Qi Shanlin held sole control of military power.
So this little guy's name isn't for himself, but for others.
My command of the military in Daqi is due to the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince, and I would never harbor any improper thoughts because of holding such power.
I cannot have it, and no one else can have it either.
My name is Sun Xiaoqi, and this is my stance.
Yi Boqi smiled and patted Qi Xiaoqi's head: "Alright, when you grow up and complete your studies, I will grant you the title of General Qi Ao."
Daqi's pride is a way of giving back to Qi Shanlin, and also a way of showing his feelings to everyone.
The Grand Marshal of the Great Qi Army wielded too much power, so much so that all emperors would be wary of him and would try every means to strip him of his military power and prevent his descendants from entering the military.
The descendants of the Grand Marshal entered the military with ease, but Daqi was not one of those vanished and destroyed dynasties, nor was he a monarch who harbored suspicion and could not tolerate others.
Watching the little ones being led away by Youli to the school for lessons, Xiao Boqi took a deep breath.
Even for the sake of these little ones, I absolutely cannot lose.
Once you lose, all the beauty before you will be instantly erased, and these little ones will be forever stuck in the same place, with no chance to grow up again.
He Boqi always knew what he was responsible for and what his greatest weakness was.
Because he cares about too many things, and his heart is filled with too many people.
Such a mindset would never make him a powerful and ruthless leader, but he never even considered becoming one.
What he wanted was to live, for everyone to live.
Just like when he first took over the Great Yang Dynasty, his original intention has never changed.
And it will never change.
He never boasted that he was some kind of savior or a saint who took it upon himself to save all living beings. He simply wanted everyone he cared about and protected to have the right to live.
That's all.
As for the schemes of the cheap old ancestor, the evil old man, and his own expectations, he never really took them to heart.
That's not what I want, and I would never do anything that goes against my bottom line and principles according to other people's wishes.
Everyone in Daqi knew this, even the little ones in Boqitang who wore open-crotch pants were well aware of it.
Unfortunately, his ancestor didn't know this.
Or they might know but not care, treating his principles and bottom line as childish stubbornness.
But looking around, isn't this prosperous and beautiful Daqi just a peaceful and prosperous world created by a group of children?
