Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 148 The Emperor's Heart
But this idea is just in my mind, no matter how upset Xiao Ziyi is, it is impossible for her to make such a naive move.

Cough, yes, no matter how depressed she is, she is still an adult.Xiao Ziyi restrainedly pushed Xiao Jingyang away, and asked calmly, "Brother Huang, how do you want to compensate Zhan'er?"

It’s not a bad idea to make up for it. After all, Zhan’er is only four years old now, and there is still a long way to go. Making Xiao Jingyang aware of his mistakes is already a big improvement.

Xiao Jingyang lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally sighed: "I want to take Zhan'er to Mingguang Palace, and fight with the queen mother."

Xiao Ziyi rolled her eyes at him, crossed her arms and asked bluntly: "That's it? Then can you guarantee to take good care of him? You are so busy all day, don't you let Zhan'er just start from a Is it just moving to another place to live?"

Xiao Jingyang frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Ziyi, I can't be by his side all day long."

"Why not?" Xiao Ziyi asked indifferently, "Zhan'er has lost his mother, but as a father, you have ignored him for three or four years. Don't you want to make up for him? Could it be, you The only compensation you can say is to arrange him to live with you? No need to explain, I know what you want to say, you will definitely say, you will definitely compensate him well, give him the best environment and the best people to take care of, The best education and the best everything. But what Zhaner needs is not these."

Xiao Jingyang looked at her in embarrassment, and sighed: "Ziyi, I understand everything you said. But, my current situation...it's hard to spare time to accompany Zhan'er."

Xiao Ziyi quietly looked at the struggling expression on his face, and suddenly said coldly: "Brother Emperor, are you worried that your crown prince is in danger?" What will be the problem?Since ancient times, the royal family has been ruthless. In front of the throne, brothers are not relatives, but enemies.

Xiao Jingyang didn't shy away from her, and nodded.This matter has been stuck in his heart like a thorn for many years, as if it has become a thorny habit, and he doesn't know how to cover it up.

Xiao Ziyi twitched the corners of her mouth, and turned around again to look at the green field outside the window. At this moment, the setting sun was slowly sinking towards the horizon. The originally green grass field seemed to be covered with a layer of golden tulle, and the pond in the distance The sparkling light made her unable to look away.

"Then what is Xiao Ce thinking?" Xiao Ziyi was stunned for a while, thinking about these complicated issues made it difficult for her to turn her head, so she forced herself to ask. "He is only 13 years old this year, and you are so defensive against him, is it too early?"

Xiao Ce is still a child, just because he is a child, that's why today he couldn't hold back and ran over to ask her something.So she wasn't angry with him, she just felt that those who spread these rumors were too hateful.

"It's not too early. At the age of 13, Xiao Ce should only be able to own his own mansion this year. As a result, when he was six years old, his father built a palace for him between Gui Palace and Mingguang Palace for him to live in. And even if he doesn't want to, his mother and concubine won't either." Xiao Jingyang said lightly, but his eyes turned sharp.Beigong, Guigong and Mingguanggong were all the harems where the concubines lived in the Han Dynasty, but because the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not obsessed with beauty, they were gradually renovated and used for other purposes.

Mother concubine?Xiao Ziyi thought that all the vicious rumors about her came from this woman, and thought that Xiao Ce would have the strength to threaten Xiao Jingyang's crown prince, so his mother and concubine must be from a famous family.

Seeing her thoughtful expression on her face again, Xiao Jingyang leaned back behind her a little depressed, and said firmly as if swearing: "I found you, and I won't give it to anyone." So we must resolutely cut off her Contact with Xiao Ce.

Where did this come from?Xiao Ziyi pushed him back, dumbfounded, and complained: "It's too hot, don't stick to it anymore."

Xiao Jingyang raised an unburdened smile on his lips, looking at her cherishedly, the only one he cared about.Let it go on like this, no matter how tired and helpless he is, he will feel relieved when he sees her smile, as if he has immediately returned to the time when he was laughing and playing in his childhood.

"Speaking of business, brother, I don't think your position is difficult to secure! If the prince hadn't done something immoral or rebellious, the father would not easily depose the prince." Xiao Ziyi tilted her head and worked hard. Think about it.

Xiao Jingyang knew that she was trying her best to solve his problems, but how could a little girl understand these palace matters?How could he explain it to her?Therefore, he could only turn thousands of words into a long sigh, patted her head and said helplessly: "You must be defensive!"

"Brother Huang, although there are many things I don't understand, I still know that the first half of this sentence is not to be harmful to others." Xiao Ziyi pursed her lips and hummed softly: "Other I don't know the matter, but brother, you know more about father than I do, who would he want to inherit his throne and rule this country?"

"Naturally, it is my responsibility to be responsible for the world, to be famous and to win the hearts of the people. This is also the goal I have been pursuing." Xiao Jingyang smiled, stepped forward and stood beside Xiao Ziyi in front of the window, and did not take her question seriously , but still answered very seriously.

"So, what are you doing now?" Xiao Ziyi looked up at him and continued to ask, like a child eager to learn.

"Naturally, I will do my best to speak to the emperor to get rid of the bad government." Xiao Jingyang just said something simply, afraid that his precious sister would not understand if he said too much.But in fact, he has no real power now, and that's all he can do.

Xiao Ziyi imitated Xiao Jingyang and sighed, and finally found the crux of the problem. "Brother Huang, as a crown prince, the first thing to do is filial piety. Father is full of civil and military affairs, don't you have to talk about political affairs alone? Say hello to father more, and ask more about daily life and food. It is not appropriate to talk too much about political affairs Besides, reform is such a sensitive issue. If you are overly enthusiastic, others will think that you are inviting fame and gain, and take the opportunity to attract people's hearts. Father may also suspect that you are anxious to inherit his power, which will give others something to take advantage of This is an opportunity." This matter is simply too easy to guess. Isn't it because of this why Kangxi abolished the crown prince in the Qing Dynasty?Sometimes it is a big problem that the prince is too good. The emperor will worry that the prince will force his father to abdicate.So, thinking about it this way, maybe the emperor spoiled Xiao Ce on purpose in order to cultivate Xiao Jingyang's potential enemies.

Power is all about balance.

The imperial power is the tallest point on the pyramid, and only one person can sit on it. If there is one more, it is not called a pyramid.So even if it is his own child, the emperor will be on guard.

But why did Xiao Jingyang not know such a simple truth?Or maybe it was just because he was in it, so emotional that he couldn't see where he was.Where is she like her, who can look at problems objectively and calmly.As for why the people around him didn't give him some advice, it is estimated that all of them are too pedantic, or the matter has not yet reached the point of warning, but Xiao Jingyang has a private feeling.

Xiao Jingyang was stunned by Xiao Ziyi's sudden words, and then pondered over and over again, but he had to think that what she said was very right.

No wonder his father scolded him severely for the play he arranged for Li Yunqing at the Begonia Banquet on his own initiative last time. It turned out that his father was guarding against him.

Xiao Jingyang's heart was so cold that it felt like it was about to freeze.

It turned out that he had been wrong all along. He shouldn't have regarded Fuhuang as a father. Fuhuang was his father, but first of all he was the emperor of this country.

And he's just a servant.

Xiao Jingyang thought through a lot of things at once, and suddenly felt that the doubts stuck in his heart were swept away.He took a deep breath, and looked at Xiao Ziyi again with more serious and trusting eyes. "Then what should I do? Should I completely hide my strength and bide my time? Will this give others a chance?"

Xiao Ziyi wrinkled her cute little nose, made a grimace at him, and said with a smile: "How come? You won't be doing nothing, and from now on, you will be with Zhan'er wholeheartedly. The emperor knows that you are a man who values ​​affection and family, and let him know that you have not given up competing for the throne. After all, Zhan'er is your eldest son, and he will also be the heir of this dynasty in the future!"

Xiao Jingyang was dumbfounded by what she said, although he had to admit that what she said was indeed very reasonable, and it was the best choice he could make right now, but...

"Little girl, after making such a big turn, you still want me to spend more time with Zhan'er..."

"Whee!"
