"Alright."
Emperor Jingyuan wiped his mouth and glanced at Pei Xi.
“It’s good that you have this idea. At this age, Xuan’er is already capable of leading troops to quell bandits.”
“The Crown Prince is so intelligent, how could Xi’er dare to compare with him?” Consort Yun said modestly. “His Majesty and the Crown Prince are his father and brother. I only hope that he will develop his abilities so that he can help his father and brother in the future.”

Consort Yun felt relieved that Pei Xi had gotten the hint: "It'll be tomorrow. Don't wander off then, come with me to meet people."
