Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 59
Xiao Ziyi followed Xiao Jingyang and stood on the very inconspicuous side of the steps, listening to Xiao Ce quoting scriptures to explain this topic in his ears, with disdain on his face.

"This question of 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise', because it involves the difference between men and women and the harm of distinguishing villains, has always been difficult to talk about. Thanks to Xiao Ce, he dared to choose this topic to give lectures." Xiao Jingyang said in a low voice.

Xiao Ziyi took a look. The two of them were standing far away from other people, and they were not afraid of being heard by others when they spoke in a low voice.

Xiao Ziyi saw that this place was a better place to watch a show, and no one was paying attention, so he simply took out the pastry and ate it generously.There was no tea to moisten her throat, so she ate it in small sips, and watched who came by.She found that many people were old men, even if there were a few younger ones, she had never seen them before, but she saw a familiar Cai Kongming, the last one standing on the west side.

It seems that last time Haitang invited the children of his close ministers to the banquet, and did not invite these pillars of the country.Even the Li Yunqing, Tan Yueli or Dugu Ye she knew were not here, it seems that their official ranks are still not qualified.Xiao Ziyi came back to her senses and asked curiously: "Oh? What question did Brother Huang choose?"

Xiao Jingyang raised the corners of his lips, and said calmly: "How can I choose by myself like Xiao Ce. At that time, Taifu Luo chose the topic. I remember it was "A thousand soldiers can win a commander, but a man can't lose his ambition" in "Zihan" and also.'"

"This sentence is very simple!" Xiao Ziyi whispered disapprovingly.

Xiao Jingyang smiled and said nothing. In his opinion, this kind of lecture was just a formality.After all, he was named the crown prince when he was very young. At this time, the whole government and the public knew about it. Normally, there would be countless opportunities for his father and officials to examine his character. show something.

But Xiao Ce is different. This is the first time he has officially appeared on the political stage, so it is not difficult to understand why he insisted on giving lectures by himself.Xiao Jingyang had a gentle smile on his refined face, but his eyes remained sharp as he looked at Xiao Ce who was talking eloquently on the steps.

Xiao Ziyi murmured dissatisfiedly: "But how did he choose this topic! It's hard to raise a woman and a villain, and it's fortunate that he can talk about it. Isn't he a villain? Wasn't he born by a woman?"

Xiao Jingyang smiled and said: "I heard that he didn't choose this topic. I saw him reading "The Doctrine of the Mean" a while ago, and suddenly changed to this sentence from "The Analects of Confucius". I guess it is probably true. Because Ziyi you."

Cut, Xiao Ziyi bit the thousand-layer cake and looked up the steps, just in time to meet Xiao Ce's provocative gaze, the two glared at each other, and then looked away.

"Xiao Ce's knowledge is really profound, and he is proficient in Confucianism by citing scriptures. No wonder Mr. Luo is full of praise for him." Xiao Jingyang sighed in a relaxed tone, and Xiao Ziyi felt a little bit of resignation in it.

Xiao Ziyi looked up at Xiao Jingyang's profile, looked at the disappointment in his eyes, and couldn't help comforting him: "Brother Emperor, what are you jealous of him for? Some trees are destined to be used as floors in the future to be stepped on for a lifetime, or used Beams and pillars are used to support the house. But some trees are born to be the throne on the top. Although some seasons are full of green leaves, they will turn yellow in the next season, and even fall leaves all over the ground, leaving only bare branches .But even so, what kind of tree should be, what kind of tree should be, there will be no change."

Xiao Jingyang listened carefully, as if feeling something.After a long time, he sighed and said: "Ziyi, if you ask me, what you said is much better than Xiao Ce. Although it is so plain, it is very reasonable."

Is this a compliment or a derogation?But it works!Seeing that Xiao Jingyang had regained his usual arrogance, Xiao Ziyi continued to eat some snacks contentedly.She couldn't explain why she would comfort him, but she always felt that it was incredible that such a frustrated look appeared on his face, and she didn't want to see it.

"It's not the emperor who made you happy!" Seeing Xiao Ziyi's disapproval, Xiao Jingyang said with a smile, "Xiao Ce's words must have been memorized many times by himself in the audience. How can you be as comfortable as you are?"

Xiao Ziyi curled the corners of her lips, and complained maliciously: "Maybe, he insisted on giving lectures by himself because he was afraid that Mr. Luo would give him a question that he didn't know. If you choose yourself, you can prepare well." .”

Xiao Jingyang resisted the urge to laugh wildly, covered his stomach and said in a low voice: "Maybe it's true. Back then, I didn't sleep well all night, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to answer the questions asked by Master Luo. My God! Ziyi, you are really evil .How did you think of that?"

Judge others by yourself!Xiao Ziyi pouted, if it were her, she would do the same.

Xiao Jingyang was in such a good mood these days for the first time, and he found the fun of making complaints, and continued: "So, Xiao Ce is still suspicious."

Xiao Ziyi moved her head gossipingly, and asked in a low voice: "What? Say it quickly." It's over, seeing that His Royal Highness, such a wise and powerful prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is about to be brought down by her, but she still looks forward to it .

"Often, after quoting a long speech, he would specifically talk about his father's earnest teachings to him when he talked about this passage. What is the original meaning, what is the meaning of the small words. When he put the big signboard of the father, which master Do you still dare to question him?" Xiao Jingyang said disdainfully, "Listen, isn't that right?"

Xiao Ziyi pricked up her ears, and only listened to Xiao Ce's serious speech: "I often serve my father and emperor around, and I heard the emperor's teaching that the most difficult person is a villain, and the most difficult person to guard against is a villain. You will be deceived by them. When you look at the things that the villains of the previous generation did to the country, it is because the people above trust them. Therefore, you must never forget these things."

"Puchi!" Xiao Ziyi finally couldn't help laughing out loud, spraying out a mouthful of pastries.

Her smile didn't matter, what mattered was that all the people in the hall turned their eyes on her, and Xiao Jingyang who was standing next to her.

Xiao Ziyi hurriedly wiped the cake crumbs off her mouth with her sleeve in embarrassment, and smiled embarrassingly.It feels really awkward to be stared at by these old men and future old men!
Just when Xiao Ziyi wanted to get away with it, Xiao Ce said loudly without giving in: "It seems that someone has some objections to what Yu Zhi saw, can you speak up?"

Xiao Ziyi's movement of hiding the pastry in her cuff froze, she raised her head just in time to see Xiao Ce's watching eyes, her heart froze.

No way!Is this kid serious?
