Chapter 465 Dragon Prince's Blessing

Although Li Guang is the youngest prince of His Majesty, he has several princess sisters below him.

Moreover, Li Guang had visited the Qu and Cui families and naturally saw many little children. However, what impressed him most was that little children were troublesome, always crying, and once they started crying, they would never stop, and he didn't know why they were crying.

But ever since he arrived here, the two babies have been very well-behaved, and their eyes are so beautiful, so dark and bright.

"Oh right, I almost forgot the important thing. Sister, this is what Father asked me to give you. He said that if you are not satisfied, he can change it."

Xu Zhaozhao took it and saw that it was the name His Majesty had given to the two children.

Yu was extremely eager to see it, but she dared not go over to look. It was written by His Majesty; who knew if it was some kind of secret edict?

"Xie Jingyan, Xie Jingsi?"

Xu Zhaozhao thought for a moment, but knew that it came from "The Biography of Pingzhun" in the Records of the Grand Historian, a work by Sima Qian.

The original meaning of the word is "to immediately understand the thoughts of things when one discovers them", which implies the idea of ​​"external form, inner thought". Does Your Majesty have any special meaning in choosing such a name?

"A good name. His Majesty only asked you to send it over, and didn't say anything else?"

“That’s all. Father said if you don’t like them, he’ll think of a few more. Actually, when Father showed them to me, there were several other names, but in the end, we decided on these two together because we thought they sounded nice and had good meanings.”

Xu Zhaozhao glanced at the restless Madam Yu and said calmly, "Is that so? Tell me what the meaning is."

The character "景" originally refers to scenery or landscape. When used in a name, it signifies admiration, landscape, respect, and respect. The name implies auspicious stars and clouds, beautiful scenery, and smooth sailing.

The character 言 (yán) originally means speech, words, language, and speech. When used in a name, it implies intelligence, trustworthiness, and foresight.

The combined meaning of the characters "景言" (Jing Yan) is talent, intelligence, good luck, and smooth sailing in everything, so I think it's great!

Xu Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow, realizing that this was Li Guang's own interpretation, and definitely not what His Majesty thought.

"Yes, you're absolutely right. I also think His Majesty chose a very good name."

“Sister, I originally prepared gold locks for both of my nephews, but I wanted to have their names engraved on them, so I didn’t bring them. If you think these two names are suitable, I’ll have them engraved on them. I’ll put them on my nephews next time I come.”

"Yes, Your Highness is very kind."

Li Guang chuckled: "Sister, you don't always have to call me Your Highness. Although I am young, I am sensible. If it weren't for you last time, my health wouldn't have recovered so well. Father is right, you are my benefactor, and I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

"Your Highness, please do not speak nonsense. You are of noble birth and blessed with good fortune. Even without me, you would have grown up safely and healthily. If you should be grateful, the person you should be most grateful to is His Majesty."

Li Guang tilted his head, looking puzzled: "What do you mean by that, sister?"

"It's no secret that you've been frail since childhood. Why is it that you've tried so many famous doctors and good medicines, yet you haven't gotten better, but at the same time, your condition hasn't worsened either?"

Li Guang frowned and shook his head.

"As I just said, you are a dragon prince, and you are blessed with good fortune. Moreover, in recent years, His Majesty has been very lenient with you because of your poor health, and he often visits and inquires about your well-being. It is the dragon energy on His Majesty that is nourishing you. His Majesty is a true dragon emperor, and the nation's fortune is upon him. With his protection, you will naturally be able to grow up safely."

Li Guang only partially understood what was being said, but he quickly realized that half of what was being said was addressed to him and the other half to His Majesty.

It was only then that Li Guang suddenly realized that this older sister was not just a lucky star.

She truly speaks with substance, not only because of her talent and learning, but more importantly, because she is intelligent and knows when to advance and retreat.

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, sister."

"I would hardly call it instruction! I am but a woman with limited knowledge. If Your Highness wishes to learn more and more deeply, you should study hard and listen to the teachings of your teachers."

"Yes, I've got it. My sister is definitely different from them."

Xu Zhaozhao smiled and didn't press the matter further this time.

Yu, standing to the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, otherwise, I was really afraid of being punished by His Majesty.

"Then you can call me Ah Li from now on!"

"Ok?"

"My childhood name is Ali. I was weak when I was young, and my father and mother were worried that I wouldn't grow up, so they specially asked someone to calculate and gave me this childhood name. When I grow up a bit more, I can take a courtesy name, and then my sister can call me by my courtesy name."

Li Guang was a prince, and his name was not something that just anyone could call him.

His nickname is different, and as long as his elders, such as close elders from the Qu family, can call him that, they would never dare to call him by his given name without any restraint.

Xu Zhaozhao raised her hand and touched his head: "You've grown so much taller, which shows that your health has really improved. You shouldn't be picky about your diet in the future. Also, because you've been bedridden for the past few years, His Majesty's decision to have you learn archery is indeed for your own good. Strengthening your body is His Majesty's way of hoping that you can stay healthy. As a father, he really loves you."

Li Guang was also moved by these words.

Yes, his father was different from other people's fathers.

His father was first and foremost a ruler, and only then a father.

Other people's fathers, as long as they are at home, are only fathers.

However, in the palace, one must never forget that His Majesty is the sovereign, the Son of Heaven, and the emperor who brings prosperity to his people!

"Sister, I understand. Can I come here often in the future?"

"Of course! You've already called me sister, so why not? Besides, when it comes to archery, there aren't many people in Daxing who can rival your brother-in-law. You should practice hard and try to surpass him in the future!"

"Great!" Li Guang was immediately filled with fighting spirit. With his sister's words, he was sure he could improve his archery skills.

Li Guang stayed at Jinxiu Garden for lunch.

After Xie Zheng returned, Yu left.

Although Li Guang was young, there should still be some taboos between men and women. Moreover, Xu Zhaozhao was still in her postpartum period, so she had to stay by her side to keep an eye on her and not let Xu Zhaozhao get too tired, otherwise it would affect her future fertility.

After taking a short nap for half an hour, Li Guang was woken up by Xie Zheng, and the two went to the training ground.

Li Guang practiced until it was almost dark before running over to say goodbye, covered in sweat.

"Sister, I'm going back now. My brother-in-law taught me a lot today, but I don't think I can understand it all. He said that when Father was young, he was the most valiant man in Daxing, so he wants me to go back and ask him for guidance!"

"Yes, he is right. His Majesty's martial arts are extraordinary, and he is indeed someone you can learn from."

"Okay, I'll come see you and your two nephews again in a couple of days."
