Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 49
"Is literacy strange?" Xiao Ce's gaze was so strange that Xiao Ziyi finally couldn't help asking.If it is strange, then she should not admit that she can read and write in the future.

Xiao Ce shook his head, and said in his hoarse voice: "It's not surprising, if you can't read, I will look down on you even more. How can the father's child be illiterate?"

Xiao Zi followed the black line for a moment, only to realize that she seemed to be competing with this younger brother for favor.At least that's how it looks to the other side.

"I just know some words, it's nothing." Xiao Ziyi said in a low-key manner.She doesn't want to make enemies in this palace, it seems that Xiao Ce's mother and concubine are also very well-connected, otherwise Xiao Jingyang wouldn't feel a sense of crisis.Although it is said that there is no danger for her to be covered by the emperor now, she has not forgotten that in the eyes of some people, she should be quick to deal with it.After all, it has not been found out who wants her life, everyone has a possibility.

"Really? But I heard that Nangong Xiao goes to your place to change topics almost every day." Xiao Ce elongated his voice and said even more eccentrically. After fighting for more than half a month, you are very famous among us, imperial sister!"

The words of praise from Xiao Ce's mouth made Xiao Ziyi feel like irony no matter how he heard them.[-]% still don't admit how powerful she is.But what Xiao Ziyi was more interested in was the "that person" in his mouth, which definitely didn't refer to Nangong Xiao.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ziyi gave a false smile, and said sweetly: "Brother Huang, you are too exaggerated. Xiao'er is only a five-year-old child, and Ziyi also played with him, winning against a five-year-old child. This is not something to be commended, is it?" She spoke innocently and cutely, so that others would not doubt the authenticity of her words.

Xiao Ce was speechless because of Xiao Ziyi's words.He couldn't say that there was someone behind Nangong Xiao, and judging by what she said, she might not have used her full strength.

It's a little too scary.

Xiao Ce secretly clenched his fists, not admitting that he, who has always been called a genius, would lose to a woman who just entered the palace for more than a month.

Xiao Ziyi curled her lips indistinctly.Want to fight her?He is still tender.

"Hmph! Then you must come and see me on the day when I give lectures." Xiao Ce pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"Get out of the pavilion...?" Xiao Ziyi only noticed these two words, and almost burst out laughing.Doesn't leaving the court generally refer to a girl's family getting married?
"Giving out of the court to give lectures is a way to test the prince's reading achievements. It is a tradition in the courts of all dynasties." Xiao Ce didn't find it ridiculous at all, and explained seriously, "Every prince gives a lecture when he is 13 years old. Pick a paragraph Learn what you have learned, and then tell your views in front of your courtiers, so as to demonstrate your talent and studies."

Xiao Ziyi put away her smile, because she realized that this matter should be a very important event for Xiao Ce.Leaving the cabinet to give lectures, according to what he said, it seems that it should be the first time he officially appeared in the sight of the court and the public, similar to accepting the scrutiny of the courtiers.No wonder he was so serious, but he was inviting her to such an important matter?Xiao Ziyi asked uncertainly, "Are you asking me to go too?"

Xiao Ce nodded. Although the pimples on his face still showed his age, his expression could be called absolutely serious. "I invite you."

Xiao Ziyi knew that the child probably wanted to use this to show her how much his father loved him, and to show her how talented he was.Xiao Ziyi smiled slightly, and stretched out her fingers to copy the grooves of the inscription on the inscription in front of her. After a long time, she calmly said: "How can a woman be present on such a serious occasion?"

Xiao Ce thought she would say something, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the reason: "Why not?"

Xiao Ziyi raised her eyebrows. It seems that this dynasty was similar to the Tang Dynasty, and the status of women was not so low.But she didn't want to be too conspicuous. "Well, why don't I pretend to be a man to listen in, how about that?"

"Alright." Xiao Ce thought for a while, anyway, his purpose is to let her see his talent, it doesn't matter what method she is willing to use to see him.

"That's a deal." Xiao Ziyi shrugged, and said: "Remember to say hello to Father. Don't frown, you invited me! Naturally, you have to be responsible."

"Okay." Xiao Ce said indifferently.Then he stretched out his hand in front of Xiao Ziyi, and stretched out his little finger towards her.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Ziyi widened her eyes, slightly startled.Cough, after all, it's too scary for a big boy to make an orchid finger at her.

"The hook agreement! Didn't you teach Xiao Zhan?" Xiao Ce said gruffly.

Finally Xiao Ziyi couldn't help but rolled her eyes.What did Zhan'er tell him?Even tell him this? "Cough, this is the gesture agreed upon by the hook. Hold the other four fingers and only extend the little finger." Xiao Ziyi withdrew the hand that was imitating the stele, patted the dust on it, and stretched it between the two of them. Make the right gestures.

Xiao Ce's handsome face showed a slight embarrassment, but he still modified his orchid fingers according to Xiao Ziyi's demonstration.

Seeing Xiao Ce's slightly flushed face, Xiao Ziyi pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to hook his little finger, and shook it twice.

The two smiled at each other.

Naturally, it is full of fire.

"Okay, that's the deal. When will you leave the pavilion to give lectures?" Xiao Ziyi withdrew her hand first and asked with interest.

Xiao Ce was still in a daze with some discomfort with this strange way of agreement. After hearing Xiao Ziyi's words, he immediately withdrew his hands behind his back, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "It's March [-]th, at the Jinhua Hall in Weiyang Palace. .Don’t forget. I will greet my father and pick you up.”

It turned out to be the day after tomorrow.Xiao Ziyi smiled slightly and said, "Okay." It sounds interesting, so she can look forward to it.

When Nangong Xiao was three years old.

Nangong Sheng: "Xiao'er, how much is one plus two?"

Nangong Xiao (counting with fingers): "Uh...it's three."

Nangong Sheng (laughs): "Very good, as expected of my younger brother. I'll give you three sweet-scented osmanthus candies."

Nangong Xiao (looks angry with fingers in his mouth): "Ah?! If I had known this, I, I would have said it was equal to five!"

Nangong Sheng: "..."
