    He was very generous to the people. Some new reforms made the people in the world p their hands in joy. There were rumors that because Emperor Xiao Jing liked to travel around the world when he was young, he could always put himself in the shoes of themon people.


    No matter what, Emperor Xiao Jing was very popr among the people.


    However, that was not necessarily the case among the court officials.


    In the past, when Emperor Yong Le was in power, he would more or less show respect to the officials. However, Emperor Xiao Jing was awless person. He was generous to the people, but he was strict with the officials. Even those old officials who thought they deserved respect didn’t have a good time.


    What the court officials were most dissatisfied with was that in the past six months, Emperor Xiao Jing had really not taken in a single woman. There was only Empress Shen in the harem who was still unconscious.


    This was really puzzling. At first, some people thought that he just felt sorry for Shen Miao, so he made her the empress. However, even if he had an empress, it was only natural for him to take in some consorts. Half a year had passed and the harem was still as quiet as before.


    Some people thought that Emperor Xiao Jing just didn’t want to take the initiative to take in consorts, so they secretly asked their daughters to approach him, but the next day, their daughters were all betrothed to the son of their sworn enemy by him. This caused the court officials to panic.


    Emperor Xiao Jing’s methods were really vicious. Not only did he get rid of the woman he did not want, but he also kept the power in the imperial court in check and warned the officials… It was killing three birds with one stone.


    Gradually, the court officials did not dare to send women to Emperor Xiao Jing.


    However, rumors started to spread that the reason he didn’t have any other women apart from his unconscious wife was that he was homosexual.


    However, these rumors did not seem to affect anything. So what if the emperor was homosexual? He already had two sons. He did not have to worry about having no one to seed the throne.


    All in all, the people and officials all submitted to the new emperor.


    The morning sun was especially bright. Nanny Tao carried the two children to Xie Jingxing and said worriedly, “Your Majesty, are you really going to bring the two young princes out… for a jaunt?”


    Xie Jingxing carried the two children with both arms and jumped into the carriage. “Yes.”


    In the carriage, Shen Miao was sleeping. Xie Jingxing looked at her with a headache and said, “You’ve been sleeping for half a year. Are you a pig?


    Chu Yi and Shi Wu waved their hands and turned to look at Xie Jingxing curiously. Xie Jingxing said, “Let’s go!”


    Tie Yi whipped the horse. After his master became the emperor, he, the leader of the ck Feather Army, actually became a coachman. .


    Xie Jingxing loved to bring the children out for sightseeing. Eunuch Deng and Uncle Tang couldn’t stop him. He always said that he had to let the children see the world at a young age so that they would not be easily bewitched by the morous world in the future.


    Actually, it was probably just an excuse. He just wanted to bring Shen Miao out to y.


    The carriage stopped at Sunshade Mountain. The scenery at the foot of the mountain was beautiful.


    MO Qing brought rice paste for the children. Recently, Shi Wu and Chu Yi were learning to eat rice paste. The two children were very picky with food and wouldn’t eat it.


    Tie Yi was carrying Chu Yi, MO Qing was carrying Shi Wu, and Xie Jingxing was feeding the two of them rice paste. The two boys kicked up a fuss and refused to eat it no matter what.


    Xie Jingxing said impatiently, “Give me the children.”


    He tied a basket on his back and put Chu Yi in it while hugging Shi Wu in his arms and “forcing” him to eat the rice paste.


    When Shi Wu kicked up a fuss, Xie Jingxing asked everyone in the ck Feather Army to stay away and not interfere. He looked he was not going to let the two children have their way with making a fuss


    Shi Wu burst into tears. Chu Yi seemed to have been influenced and started crying too. Not only that, but Xie Jingxing also felt wet on his back.


    He was furious. Just as he was about to teach the two brats a lesson, he suddenly heard Jingzhe exim, “Someoneughed!”


    Everyone was stunned.


    Jingzhe was so excited that her voice was trembling. She pointed at the carriage. “I heardughter just now!”


    Shen Miao was the only one sleeping in the carriage.


    The surroundings fell silent.


    The breeze in the mountains brushed past everyone’s faces gently, making them feel a little itchy.


    In the silence, they heard theughter clearly this time. There was indeed someoneughing. It was a gentle and familiarughter.


    Xie Jingxing was stunned for a while before striding over.


    His hands were trembling slightly, but in the end, he finally made up his mind and lifted the curtain of the carriage.


    The woman’s eyes were gentle and her voice waszy, as if she had just woken up from a sleep.


    She tilted her head and smiled. “Long time no see, Young Marquis Xie..”
