Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 51 Jade Pendant
Xiao Ziyi silently followed behind Li Yunqing, shuttling through the corridors.She noticed that he deliberately slowed down his pace in order to be considerate of her painful feet, and always kept a body distance ahead of her.

Xiao Ziyi lowered her head and followed Li Yunqing's footprints one by one. When she met the handsome guy, his somewhat rigid head began to work slowly.

What is Li Yunqing's reason for wandering around in the temple at this time?Anyway, it is definitely not to find her.Thinking of this, Xiao Ziyi couldn't help asking softly: "Master Li, do you have anything else to do? Just point out the direction for Ziyi, and don't delay your business." She hadn't forgotten the last Begonia banquet At that time, he was the target of being framed, and she didn't want him to do anything because of her.

Li Yunqing's footsteps paused, and then he walked slowly as before, as if he had thought about how to word, and then said respectfully: "Princess, I wanted to go to the Moon Palace to get some red thread. But send the princess back Of course it's more important."

"Yuelao's red thread?" Xiao Ziyi raised her eyebrows, and then recalled that the place she entered last seemed to be covered with red threads, and it turned out to be the Yuelao Hall.Oh, by the way, she remembered that Li Yunqing seemed to have been promoted from being the chief of fine meals to the chief of official worship, that is, from cooking to being in charge of ceremonies.It seems that he is also in charge of the activity of offering incense in Dongyue Temple.

"Well, because some ministers and concubines don't have time to go to Yuelao Hall, they will ask for some red thread to take back directly." Li Yunqing said calmly.

"Ah? Then let's go back and get it now. It doesn't matter if I'm late. Anyway, I've been out for so long." Xiao Ziyi said worriedly.

Li Yunqing still didn't stop, and said indifferently without any ups and downs: "It doesn't matter, just go to the office later and run again."

Xiao Ziyi curled her lips, feeling that she was meddling in other people's business, so she simply stopped talking.Within half a quarter of an hour, Xiao Ziyi heard the sound of chanting scriptures not far away, and it seemed that the ceremony was not over yet.

Li Yunqing finally stood still, stood on one side with his head down, and said in a low voice: "Princess, the main hall in front is the Daiyue Hall."

Xiao Ziyi glanced at the endless palaces behind her, imitating his indifferent tone and slowly said: "Master Li, you are familiar with this place!" On the way back just now, she took a closer look. There are 76 halls, large and small. Although the place is not as big as the Changle Palace where she lives, the halls are so close together that even the officials in charge of the ceremony cannot remember the route at once.

Li Yunqing calmly said: "Xiaguan lived here for two years when he was a child."

Xiao Ziyi's expression froze, and he naturally knew that maybe the Li family's family was in decline, Li Yunqing's parents died, no one adopted him, and he spent two years living here.Xiao Ziyi apologized modestly, "I'm sorry, I don't know."

Li Yunqing raised his head unexpectedly and saw the most beloved princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty apologizing to him with a slumped pretty face. Knowing that she might have misunderstood something, he immediately explained with a wry smile: "Xiaguan was in the Here I have learned martial arts from Taoist Xuan Zong for a while, that's all."

Xiao Ziyi said "Oh" in embarrassment, it turned out that she was thinking too much.But if you think about it more carefully, Li Yunxuan is only six years old, so at least before she was born, the parents of the two siblings were still alive.Li Yunqing doesn't have to live in the temple either.And this sentence also explained why his martial arts are so good, which made Xiao Ziyi feel relieved.

It's just that such an outstanding person was actually assigned to be a handyman in the Ministry of Rites. Xiao Ziyi couldn't help but wonder if it was because of Li Yunqing's background.Obviously, Queen Dugu back then was defending the Li family in Taiyuan.It's just that even if she gets rid of the Li family, what's the use, isn't there still the Xiao family who overturned the Yang family?So why it seems that the current emperor is also guarding against the Li family is very strange.

Xiao Ziyi stood there feeling emotional, Li Yunqing beside her also showed a struggling look on his handsome face.After hesitating for a moment, Li Yunqing sighed and said respectfully: "Princess, I have something to ask you."

Xiao Ziyi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Yunqing took out half of the jade pendant from his bosom, touched the grain on it with his thumb, and said with a look of love and affection in his dark blue eyes: "This jade pendant was left by our mother. Put it under the pillow and rub it in your hands for a long time before falling asleep. I left in a hurry the day before yesterday, and the official forgot to let her take it with me. I wonder if I can trouble the princess to give her this jade pendant?"

"It's a small matter, leave it to me." Xiao Ziyi sighed secretly.Their brother and sister depended on each other for life, and just from these few words, it can be seen how good the relationship between them is, and now she has become the sinner who broke up their brother and sister.

It is really necessary to find an opportunity to send Li Yunxuan out of the palace as soon as possible.Xiao Ziyi stretched out her hand and held the jade pendant that Li Yunqing gave her.Yupei still carried his body temperature, warmly held it in her palm, and carefully placed it in her arms.

"Thank you, princess. My little sister has been spoiled by the officials since she was a child. If there is any offense, please forgive me." Li Yunqing avoided Xiao Ziyi's sight, bowed deeply, and said seriously .

Xiao Ziyi's gaze also drifted for a while like his, after all, she couldn't refuse such a prudent request from such a nice voice. "Yunxuan is very obedient, Master Li, don't worry." Well, for the sake of having a handsome brother, little Lolita is not so unbearable anymore.

"Princess, it's getting late, please return to the palace quickly. I will take my leave first." Li Yunqing cupped his hands, turned and walked towards the road they had just walked.It should be to go back to get the red thread from the Yuelao Temple.

Xiao Ziyi touched the jade pendant in her arms, and returned to the hall without any danger.Fortunately, the ceremony was not over yet, and everyone was still bowing their heads like when she left.Only Xiao Ce raised his head and glanced at her, Xiao Ziyi naturally stared back.

When Xiao Ziyi returned to her seat and knelt down, just as she felt a little drowsy, the ceremony was completed.Everyone can spread out and go to each hall to worship various gods by themselves. Xiao Ziyi was naturally dragged by the queen to some halls to offer incense to the gods. Fortunately, the queen didn't plan to go to other places, otherwise Xiao Ziyi would have I really have to worry about whether I can hold on today.

"Princess seems to be very tired today." Ruozhu asked in a low voice from the side.

Xiao Ziyi nodded and rolled her eyes.She has indeed lived too much of a comfortable life recently, and her body is useless.Wealth makes people degenerate, this sentence is really true.

Following the Queen into a hall slightly smaller than the Daiyue Hall, Xiao Ziyi found that the front of this hall was not as solemn and solemn as the other halls she had passed by. The censer, above the censer is a fist-sized hollow copper ball.Many concubines were throwing copper coins into it, but unfortunately none of them got it right. All the hidden weapons flying around the square were copper coins, mixed with the concubine's coquettish voices, it really made people want to laugh.

A copper coin rolled to Xiao Ziyi's feet, she didn't think about why all these people threw money into the copper ball, she bent down to pick up the copper coin at her feet, raised her hand and threw it away.

"Ding Dang!" The copper coin accurately passed through the hollow on the copper ball, and made a crisp sound when it was hit inside, but it did not pop out.

yeah!Xiao Ziyi made a "V" gesture next to her ear, happily waiting for everyone's praise.

But, no matter how you look at it, why do you feel that the expressions on their faces are so strange?

Ruozhu couldn't stand it any longer, and whispered behind Xiao Ziyi: "Princess, this is the Empress Palace for the descendants of the beggar, the incense burner will be thrown into it..."
