Xiao Youyou started by mentioning his thoughts to his Empress Mother.
Lian Hua naturally supported Xiao Youyou's decision. Ever since she was young, she thought her second brother was very impressive at martial arts, but being a girl, her mother didn't allow her to learn.
At a young age, Xiao Youyou, under her guidance, learned many skills like swimming, farming, and slingshot shooting. He wasn't pampered and was far more capable than the children of the folks.
However, this matter was beyond Lian Hua's decision; it was still necessary to ask his Imperial Father.
So Xiao Youyou approached the Emperor with this matter, like a little adult. Though just a few years old, he could articulately express his ideas, speaking clearly with well-organized thoughts and solid reasons.
