Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 135
After dinner, Li Yunxuan and Nangong Xiao finally played for a whole day, their physical strength couldn't keep up, and they fell asleep before it was dark.After Xiao Ziyi waited for them all to go back to their rooms to sleep, she habitually went back to her study alone.

As soon as she opened the door, she suddenly saw the branch of peach blossom on the table, the soft pink under the hazy sunset made Xiao Ziyi startled suddenly.

That's right, today was so tense that she even forgot that there was a branch of peach blossom on her desk.

Xiao Ziyi walked over, changed the water in the bottle, then leaned on the soft bed and stared at the brilliantly blooming peach blossoms in a daze, and sorted out what happened to her today.

Why are there so many mulberry leaves out of thin air in the golden basket containing three mulberry leaves?That is a golden basket, not a cornucopia, so you can put as much as you want.The only explanation is that someone has tampered with it.

Is it the queen?Xiao Ziyi thought of the queen's weird smile before pulling the silk cloth away, and the shocked expression after seeing the basket full of mulberry leaves, which meant that things did not develop as she expected.

So, what was the result that the Queen had expected?

Could it be that there should be no mulberry leaves in the golden basket?
Xiao Ziyi tightly closed her eyes, feeling that the setting sun in front of her was a miserable blood red in her eyes.

Was she too naive after all?From the time when she took the initiative to be her envoy, with that sweet smile on her face, did the queen just want to take the opportunity to get rid of her?

That's right, no wonder she asked her that day if she would let Zhan'er take classes with her, and she agreed so quickly.Thinking about it now, it was just for her peace of mind. Anyway, if she was accused of offending the gods, everything she had now would be taken back immediately, and she would no longer be at ease now.

Xiao Ziyi felt cold all over, and finally stood up and closed the half-open window of the study, as if this would make herself safer.But she knew it was just wishful thinking.

Why does the queen dislike her?Was she the one who asked Zhan'er to study with her?No, it can't be just because of such a little thing.Could it be that there was something else that the original Xiao Ziyi knew, but she didn't?And the queen thought she knew...

It was really like a tongue twister, Xiao Ziyi smiled self-deprecatingly.Probably the senior brother helped her secretly this time, otherwise, who would have the ability to go in and out of the altar without being noticed?That is to say, Qi Mo has that leisurely heart, playfully filling the golden basket with mulberry leaves.

Xiao Ziyi never thought that it would be two children who would help her.Although no one would care about children entering and exiting the altar, she did not expect such a coincidence.Dugu Xuan felt that this matter was not worth mentioning, and Li Yunxuan simply thought that Xiao Ziyi was a good person and didn't want her to be unlucky, and didn't think it was something worth showing off.She was still worried about whether Dugu Xuan put so many mulberry leaves on his own initiative, which would bring trouble to the princess instead, so she didn't say anything more.

Xiao Ziyi thought about it for a while, but there was still no solution.The queen is hostile to her, so what can she do?The other party is the lord of the harem, the mother of the world, even if the queen poisoned and assassinated her in the first place, she has no evidence to prove it.

Xiao Ziyi stood for a long time, leaning on the table in a daze, looking at the branch of peach blossom on the corner of the desk.Suddenly, she realized why Nangong Sheng retreated at home and refused to become an official.

Fighting for power and profit by all means is the truest principle of survival here.In order to protect themselves, people here must find ways to get rid of their relatives, benefactors, or people who have helped them, as long as they may be detrimental to them.

She didn't know how long she could stay in such an emotionless place.

Nangong Sheng has no intention of official career, and puts his love on spells and mountains and rivers, which may or may not be the best protection for himself.He must have a clear understanding of the dangers in the officialdom. Being someone else's pawn or butcher's knife is better than being an otaku.

Watching the afterglow of the setting sun withdraw from the ground little by little, Xiao Ziyi felt isolated and helpless in the huge palace.In the past, she could still believe that Xiao Jingyang was sincerely good to her, and the emperor was sincerely good to her, but now his mother and his wife want to treat her badly, what extravagant hope can she have?

Xiao Ziyi even thought, if in Zhan'er's heart, is Grandma Huang important, or her aunt who has only been together for more than a month?
Unable to restrain her random thoughts, Xiao Ziyi suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the study room, and hurriedly collected the expression on her face, took out a book and held it in her hand.

The door opened, Xiao Ziyi pretended to be nonchalant and looked at it, but was surprised to find that it was Xiao Jingyang with a dignified face.

"Brother Huang, why are you here? Is the plowing ceremony fun? Wait for Ziyi to go there to play next year." Xiao Ziyi stood up with a smile and said, but she laughed at herself thinking whether she could still stay in the palace. By this time next year.

Xiao Jingyang didn't expect Xiao Ziyi to act nonchalantly, instead he didn't use a word of his prepared words, so he could only sigh, "It's okay, I just came back from the Imperial College, so I'll come and see you." After learning about the "auspiciousness" at the silkworm kissing ceremony, I immediately figured out what was going on, but I didn't know why the queen mother suddenly disliked Xiao Ziyi. Do you want to start?

Would you rather fight your father to give up on her than get rid of Xiao Ziyi?

Xiao Jingyang stood in front of her, watching his lovely younger sister looking up at him innocently under the setting sun in his eyes, feeling a pang in his heart.Why can't the queen mother even tolerate Aunt Yun's daughter?He thought that after so many years, the empress mother had long looked down on the past.

It turned out to be naively him.

Xiao Jingyang looked at Xiao Ziyi in front of him, and slowly merged her with another face, returning to that spring night many years ago in a trance.The same is the sunset, the same is the fresh air after the rain...

Xiao Ziyi raised her head, seeing clearly the struggling look in Xiao Jingyang's deep eyes, and her heart warmed up a lot.At least he is still struggling, but why should he speak out about these things.It is enough for her to know.Xiao Ziyi was about to change the topic lightly, when he suddenly felt Xiao Jingyang firmly holding his shoulders, he opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Jingyang was taken aback by Xiao Ziyi's "Brother Emperor", reflexively let go of the hands on Xiao Ziyi's shoulders, and coughed lightly in embarrassment.But his eyes fell on Xiao Ziyi's hand, and then he said, "It's nothing, Ziyi, the book in your hand is reversed."
