At noon, after the studies ended, Zhao Yao was called by Mr. Xiao and then followed him to his office.
Mr. Xiao gave Zhao Yao a stack of books, neatly wrapped in a clean cloth.
"Your Highness, this is my birthday gift to you."
Zhao Yao looked at the pile of books in front of him and slightly frowned, "Mr. Xiao, what are these books?" Although he was starting to read seriously now, it did not mean that he really enjoyed reading.
"These are books like 'The Analects', 'Mengzi', 'The Doctrine of the Mean', 'The Great Learning', 'The Book of Documents', 'Ritual Records' and so on." Mr. Xiao lightly patted the stack of books with his right hand and smiled, "I've already annotated these books, Your Highness, you can take a good look at them."
Hearing Mr. Xiao's words, Zhao Yao was startled and then solemnly bowed to Mr. Xiao, "Thank you, sir."
Mr. Xiao reached out to help Zhao Yao up and kindly smiled, "Your Highness, as long as you don't find them unworthy."
