Chapter 1125: Chapter 948, One Year Old

Xiao Yeyang brought the Xiliao Delegation to Beijing, and the first thing he did was return the Tiger Talisman to the Emperor.

The Emperor, though outwardly indifferent, was quite pleased internally.

Initially, some officials had objections to the Emperor directly naming Xiao Yeyang as Prince of Weiyan, but after signing a ceasefire agreement with the Xiliao Delegation and drafting an annual tribute list, the voices of opposition ceased.

Xiao Yeyang did not expect to be named a prince by the Emperor, but he was very happy about it.

Although he was the Princely Heir of the Duke Residence, the title of Prince of Weiyan was obtained through his own abilities, not inheritance, which was an acknowledgment and affirmation of him.

Xiao Yeyang was happy, but the Duke had objections.

Imperial Palace.

The Duke looked resentfully at the Emperor, "Royal brother, you have conferred the title of Prince of Weiyan on Yeyang, what about my Duke Residence?"

The Emperor glanced indifferently at him, "Confering Yeyang as the Prince of Weiyan is to deter other countries in the Western Regions, and also to encourage Yeyang in his governance of Xiliang. This title is non-hereditary."

Hearing this, the Duke’s expression improved a bit, but he still pouted, "That kid was never very close to me, and now he does not even need the title, he will disregard me even more."

The Emperor looked at the Duke speechlessly, "Being a father like you is quite something."

Duke: "Royal brother, I don’t care, we can’t let the kid think he has no ties to the Duke Residence anymore. Please issue an imperial decree, naming my grandson as the Princely Heir of the Duke Residence."

The Emperor, indifferent yet unwilling to argue further, immediately nodded in agreement, "Alright, I will issue the decree later."

Only then did the Duke leave happily, smiling.

Watching his brother’s retreating figure, the Emperor smiled as well.

Only such a foolish brother would be happy about a non-heritable title!

The Emperor stood up and looked towards the map of Daxia.

The area of Xiliang is larger than two or three inland provinces combined; if managed well, it can relieve a lot of pressure on the Imperial Court.

Since his accession, he had thought about governing Xiliang, but due to the harsh conditions, none of the Ministers wanted to go; Yeyang was the first to step forward to help solve the problem.

Over the years, both openly and secretly, Yeyang had made significant contributions. Granting him a royal title was also a form of compensation.

With this in mind, the Emperor sat back at his desk and penned an imperial decree to appoint Xiao Moxi as the Princely Heir to the Duke Residence.

...

At the palace gate, the Duke emerged and saw Xiao Yeyang waiting to one side. Although satisfied, he still kept a stern face.

Xiao Yeyang stepped forward to pay his respects and then got into the carriage with the Duke, "What did the royal uncle say?"

Duke: "The title is not hereditary."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief.

If he were not the son of a prince, receiving a royal title would have certainly made him incredibly happy, but his father was a prince, and with him holding another royal title, it was too conspicuous.

As long as the royal uncle is still well, it’s fine, but after the royal uncle’s demise, the new emperor will surely be dissatisfied, and he didn’t want to be implicated.

"Father, your grandson is about to be one year old..."

Before he could finish, the Duke said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I remember, I will arrange a first birthday celebration for my grandson."

Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, "I mean, I will be returning to Xiliang in the next few days."

The Duke’s smile faded a bit, "You should go back earlier, your uncle and Yan girl are still there."

Xiao Yeyang paused briefly, then said, "Then take good care of yourself in Beijing."

Hearing this, the Duke was momentarily stunned.

His son was showing concern for him?

The Duke was surprised; his legitimate son had always been at odds with him since childhood. After getting married, his temper improved a little, but he had never shown concern for him.
