Yin Huaixi shook his head. “I’ll wait for you to decide.”

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and quickly pushed the blame away. “It’s so troublesome. It’s better for you to decide. I have to go through confinement. It’s not suitable for me to think about such troublesome matters.”

Yin Huaixi said helplessly, “In that case, they were both born during Chen Shi1, their names should start with the character for ‘Chen’. Thus, the Eldest Son shall be called Yin Chenzhao, from the meaning of the world being bright, and the sun and moon being clear. The Second Son shall be called Yin Chenyao. The character for ‘Yao’ means sunlight, and has the meaning of shining brightly. What do you think?”

The character for “Zhao” described the sun and the moon. It also had the meaning of being virtuous.

Just from one name, the identities of the two had already been decided.

Yu Youyao was a little sleepy and muttered, “It’s alright!”

After the children’s names were decided, Yu Youyao snuggled into Yin Huaixi’s arms and fell asleep. Yin Huaixi lowered his head and kissed her forehead, feeling extremely glad.

He rejoiced the fact that she had kept her promise and survived all the dangers.

He was also glad that they would work together for the rest of their lives.

Yin Huaixi looked at her pale sleeping face, and his eyes welled up with tears.

As the two princes had both been born under auspicious circumstances, in addition to the auspicious omen calculated by the Imperial Astronomer, even though the court officials’ hearts were in turmoil, no one dared to criticize them.

After the two princes were a month old, the emperor held a vast Zhou ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Eldest Prince grabbed a brush, and the Second Prince grabbed a wooden sword. One was a scholar, and the other was a martial artist. It was in line with the Imperial Astronomer’s words. Only then did the floating hearts of the court officials gradually calm down.

Then, the emperor couldn’t wait to confer the title of Crown Prince on the Eldest Prince, Yin Chenzhao. His domineering attitude had already made everything clear, so it was even more difficult for the court officials to say anything.

As a result, the empress gave birth to two boys in the court without even causing a splash.

There was some criticism among the commoners.

However, most of the commoners believed it deeply. “Didn’t the emperor say that he had killed too many people and harmed the harmony of the heavens and the children? The Empress gave birth to two children in one go, and they were all both in auspicious times. This is a great blessing. It’s clearly because the Empress is kind and benevolent. She was grateful for the heavens. As a result, a pair of sons descended from the heavens.”

Such a saying was widely spread among the commoners, and it suppressed many criticisms.

As the two princes grew older and revealed their talent, the court officials were even more overjoyed.

No matter how busy Yin Huaixi was, he would take two hours every day to teach them how to read and practice martial arts. As a father, he taught the two of them the same things without any bias.

As for what they had learned, it all depended on their aptitude.

However, the famous Confucian scholars in charge of teaching the princes taught the two princes different things.

The Crown Prince, Yin Chenzhao, lived in the Literary Hall. All the Confucian scholars took turns to serve him. They had also chosen talented people to study with him. In addition to the Crown Prince’s Junior Mentor, Junior Teacher, and Junior Guard, there were also more than 30 people who followed him, including the Left and Right Supervisors of the Household and other officials. They were all old ministers and received their duties. They were all taught the cardinals of governance. They had been nurturing the Crown Prince from the beginning.

Not only did the Second Son, Yin Chenyao, have to learn scriptures, but he also had to learn the art of war. Yin Huaixi had also chosen a few old generals to specially teach him martial arts and train his muscles.

Yin Huaixi did not ask them to stay in the palace and study hard. From time to time, he would bring the family out on patrol to let them understand the suffering of the commoners.

When Yu Youyao saw that Yin Huaixi was so proactive in teaching the children, she first thought that he was worried that his two sons would lose their temper and cause a tragedy in the future, so he brought the children along to teach them.

When their Eldest Son, Yin Chenzhao, was seven years old, Yin Huaixi threw him to the Hall of Diligent Governance and asked him to work together to deal with government affairs.

Their Second Son, Yin Chenyao, was also thrown into the capital camp to eat and live with the soldiers.

Yin Huaixi had a lot of free time. When he stuck to her in the Chengqian Palace all day, she finally came to a realization and felt that she was really too naive.

It was obvious that this fellow was slacking off and planning to exploit his children.

Instantly, she was both angry and amused.

Yin Huaixi still said self-righteously, “How is this exploitation? It’s clearly training. Sooner or later, the world will be handed over to them and they’ll learn to deal with government affairs as soon as possible. In the future, I can abdicate early and let someone else take over. Wouldn’t it be fun to accompany you in the palace?”

Yu Youyao punched him a few times in anger.

Yin Huaixi clutched his chest. After putting on an act, he finally made Yu Youyao laugh and did not mind his thoughts. However, because his heart ached for the children, he couldn’t help but warn him, “The children are still young. Don’t give them too much pressure. You can’t spoil them through your excessive enthusiasm.”
