XML xPath get parent attribute and children results in one query

I have this XML :

 <Parent>
  <Children name='RandomValueIdontKnow'>
   <x>1</x>
   <x>2</x>
   <x>3</x>
   <x>4</x>
  </Children>
 </Parent>

I want to get Children's name attribute value AND all x's values in one query

What i tried so far .. :

xpath("Children/@name|x");

but it only comes up with the name attribute value and ignores x's values ..
I tried to remove Parent from the xml and do this query :

xpath("@name|x"); //grabs name's attribute value and all of the x's values

it worked fine, for some reason it stops when there's a parent or something.. that's kinda confusing me

x aren't rootnodes, so you'll have to repeat Children:

"Children/@name|Children/x"

For XPath 1.0, try:

(/*/Children/@name|/*/Children/x)

For XPath 2.0, try:

/*/Children/(@name|x)
