When Shi Wu and Chu Yi were 18 years old, Emperor Xiao Jing stepped down.

This was really beyond everyone’s expectations. Emperor Xiao Jing was in his prime and was in good health. He didn’t have to step down so early.

However, all these years, Emperor Xiao Jing and Empress Shen were really “willful”. Throughout history, there was definitely no such a palace where there was no one in the harem except the empress. It was not that the officials had not thought of a way to thrust beauties on Emperor Xiao Jing, but all these beauties, including the ones related to the beauties, were all taught a lesson.

Empress Shen’s status remained unshakable

Chu Yi was called Xie Shu, and Shi Wu was called Xie Wu. Not long after the children turned one year old, just as they were about to give names to the two children, Daoist Priest Chi Yan came out of nowhere and said that the birth of the two children was very difficult. In order to grow up safely, they had to have a girl i s name instead. Therefore, Xie Jingxing gave the two children such names.

After Xie Shu and Xie Wu grew up and became sensible, they often quarreled with Xie Jingxing for giving them such names. However, even Shen Miao, who was easy to talk to, refused to change their names. Gradually, they got used to it.

Xie Shu was like Shen Miao. He was steady and sensible. Xie Wu was just like

Xie Jingxing. Every day, he would wander about the streets and alleys, looking like a playful young master. However, those who were familiar with him knew that Xie Wu was even more scheming than Xie Jingxing.

However, the two brothers were extremely close. Xie Shu was the crown prince and was about to ascend the throne, while Xie Wu became Prince Dian.

The officials all submitted memorials, saying that Xie Jingxing should not have stepped down so early. Xie Shu was still young and could not hold the fort.

However, when did Xie Jingxing ever listen to the officials? He had already made up his mind to step down and wouldn’t change his mind simply because of a few memorials.

Shen Miao was calm about it. At first, many people wanted to find fault with her. However, after she became the empress, she handled everything flawlessly, as if she had been an empress for many years.

At this moment, Xie Jingxing was talking to his two sons.

Heavens seemed to bless him especially generously. Even though his two sons had already grown into handsome young men, he was still as handsome as ever. However, compared to the sharpness he exhibited more than ten years ago, the current Xie Jingxing was more like a sheathed sword, gentle but still dangerous.

He lectured his two sons casually, “Shu, Wu, I’ll leave this entire country to you. Manage it well. Don’t make me come back to clean up the mess.”

In private, he had never put up the air of an emperor in front of his two sons. Xie Jingxing did not want to be estranged from his sons. Perhaps it was because he had experienced it himself that he was more careful and sensitive about maintaining a close relationship with his sons.

Xie Shu agreed calmly. On the other hand, Xie Wu said lazily, “Don’t worry, we’re not that stupid.”

“It’s easier said than done.” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows. “Don’t underestimate those old foxes in the imperial court. When I ascended the throne, they kept finding fault with me. Now that you are going to take over my place, they will do it again. You are still too young, but they are all sly. Don’t be too confident..”
