Chapter 58

The difference from going to Weiyang Palace for the Begonia Banquet last time is that this time it is not the main entrance, but the narrow road between the two palaces.

Although the guards were curious why there was an extra person behind the emperor when he came back, seeing that His Royal Highness looked familiar, they all secretly guessed where the prince of the family was invited.

Xiao Ziyi raised her head and raised her chest, with her hands behind her back, imitating Xiao Ce's usual appearance.She has always been cautious in the palace, and Ruozhu often reminds her of some court etiquette, teaching her how to be reserved and how to pay attention to her image.It made her feel refreshed and refreshed for the first time in these days.

Xiao Jingyang saw it in his eyes, and secretly sighed that the palace still imprisoned his precious sister's aspirations, and this disguised as a man gave him a bit of the look he saw her wandering the rivers and lakes that day.

But who taught her?He had investigated the Tianshan faction a long time ago, and they all studied martial arts and were tired of literature, so could it be that she came up with those unique insights in the "Public Security Policy" just now?
Or is it just Aunt Yun's inheritance?
Xiao Jingyang couldn't help thinking of what Aunt Yun taught him when he was a child, and looking at Xiao Ziyi beside him, the two beautiful and refined faces seemed to overlap through time and space.

"?" Xiao Ziyi sensed Xiao Jingyang's gaze and cast a puzzled look.

Xiao Jingyang was stunned, his heart skipped a beat, he quickly smiled back, and then turned his face away as if nothing had happened.He didn't believe that his father had no idea after reading those annotations. Some of the content or those strange simplified characters were very similar to the handwriting of Queen Dugu handed down from the previous dynasty.It's no wonder that just now the father asked her a rare question.

Xiao Ziyi didn't even know that some of the things she wrote in the book in her free time would bring her so much trouble, otherwise she wouldn't have written it if she was killed.

"What were you looking at just now?" Xiao Ziyi asked curiously, she always felt that there was something in the eyes she caught Xiao Jingyang just now.

"I'm looking at why there are scars on your neck!" Xiao Jingyang raised his sword eyebrows and asked back lightly.

Xiao Ziyi covered it, then turned up the collar, "I accidentally scratched it with my nails when I combed my hair last night." Why are his eyes so sharp!Naturally, it cannot be said that Xiao Yunxuan scratched her.

"Really?" Xiao Jingyang looked at Xiao Ziyi's neatly manicured nails, and didn't ask any further.

Xiao Ziyi didn't dare to speak any more, but just looked around at the beautiful scenery of Weiyang Palace.This time was completely different from the last time I went to hold the Begonia Banquet. Tianlu Pavilion was already at the edge of the imperial garden, and this time the Jinhua Palace where Xiao Ce left the pavilion to give lectures was next to the Chengming Palace where the emperor went to court. It was magnificent and resplendent.

The emperor led Xiao Ziyi and Xiao Jingyang through the corridor connecting Chengming Hall and Jinhua Hall, and walked directly to a wing at the back of the hall.

Before they entered the room, they heard the drake with Xiao Ce's characteristics hoarsely calling: "Father, have you brought me?"

Xiao Ziyi poked her head out from the emperor's back, and saw Xiao Ce wearing a formal black long-sleeved and complicated dress with red trim. Because he hadn't reached the crown yet, he was still combing his hair with horns, which looked a bit ridiculous.Xiao Ziyi thought so, and the expression on his face showed a little bit, and he couldn't help pursing his lips and giggling.

After Xiao Ce saw his father and brother, he also began to chuckle muffledly at Xiao Ziyi.

Xiao Ziyi lowered her head to look at her men's attire, she felt pretty good, ignored Xiao Ce's ridicule, and asked Xiao Jingyang next to her in a low voice, "Brother Emperor, when will it start?"

Xiao Jingyang watched the emperor sit down on one side to drink tea and rest, so he took Xiao Ziyi to the other side to sit down, and said with a light smile: "There is still a while before Sishi, when the time comes, Taifu Luo will come and call us into the palace."

"Lecture... how do you teach it?" Xiao Ziyi found that there were cakes on the coffee table, and happily stuffed some into his mouth. "How long will it take?" In fact, the latter question is the focus of her question.People in this dynasty didn't even eat lunch, and they might go to the evening as soon as the meeting started, so she couldn't bear it.

"According to the court tradition, since ancient times when princes leave the court to give lectures, the Tai Tuo will give a lecture in advance, and then explain the righteousness, and then the prince will explain his own understanding. I was the same at that time. But Xiao Ce is outstanding. Fu Du agreed to let him speak for himself." Xiao Jingyang said with a smile, not at all uncomfortable, sincerely happy for Xiao Ce's talent and learning.

Xiao Ziyi glanced at Xiao Ce who was standing beside him, and she was sure that although he had a look of indifference on his face, he must be secretly happy inside.What's the use of studying well? In the palace, people pay more attention to how to behave in the world. How can a nerd who can only read books have great achievements.Xiao Ziyi thought that the queen now requires Xiao Zhan to be the same as Xiao Ce in everything, Xiao Zhan will be completely destroyed if this continues.

"Ziyi, Cai Shilang once told your father the story about the apple tree or the orange tree. Where did you hear it?" Xiao Jingyang asked curiously. .

Hurrah!It turns out that Cai Sanguo is the one who likes to make small reports!Xiao Ziyi secretly made a note in her heart, and smiled innocently on her face: "Ziyi thought of it herself! Why, isn't it a good analogy? Cai Shilang is pulling the seedlings to encourage others, so I will naturally think of this."

Xiao Ce interrupted triumphantly from the side: "Then what kind of tree does Elder Sister Huang think I am?"

How did she know?Xiao Ziyi curled her lips, she didn't expect that what she just said to Cai Kongming would make everyone know about it.Seeing Xiao Ce's serious expression, Xiao Ziyi didn't dare to say anything more.

Fortunately, someone said at the door of the room that the time was coming soon, which saved Xiao Ziyi from this predicament.Xiao Ce straightened his clothes, looked confident, and got up to ask the emperor for instructions.The emperor nodded and walked out first.

Xiao Ce still stood still, waiting respectfully for Xiao Jingyang to leave first.

Xiao Jingyang patted him on the shoulder casually, and said with a smile: "Go first, today belongs to you."

Xiao Ce smiled gratefully, stepped out with big strides.

"You are really generous!" Xiao Ziyi knew that the palace valued such dignity, but it was rare that he, the crown prince, didn't care.Even she can see what Xiao Ce wants, and I don't believe Xiao Jingyang can't see it.However, Xiao Ziyi took the opportunity to steal a few pieces of snacks, wrapped them in a handkerchief and stuffed them into the sleeves.Seeing this posture is a long-term struggle, she has to make logistical preparations.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyang smiled helplessly, and helped her wrap the snacks on the coffee table next to her and put them in another sleeve of hers, "It's just to make him proud once, and he won't be proud forever."

Xiao Ziyi shrugged her shoulders, and didn't bother to ask them what kind of play these brothers were playing.The ignorance of each other at the Begonia banquet last time, and now they are acting like brothers and sisters in front of her, this tacit understanding is really good!Xiao Ziyi snorted inwardly, and followed Xiao Jingyang into the hall with "Two Sleeves" carefully.

Sitting on the highest throne in the magnificent Jinhua Palace is naturally the current emperor. The hall is already full of relatives and courtiers, standing densely in several rows, silently waiting for Zhuo Li on the steps. Xiao Ce made a speech.

Xiao Ce glanced at Xiao Ziyi who walked into the hall with Xiao Jingyang, took a deep breath, and said loudly in his voice that seemed to have been ground on sand: "What the students want to talk about today is a passage from "The Analects of Confucius". Then, the problem of 'only women and villains are difficult to raise'."

Xiao Ziyi narrowed his eyes, this kid definitely did it on purpose!
