Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 247 Banquet
Xiao Ce is very depressed recently.

Logically speaking, he should be happy.Because since the emperor father rejected several political proposals of his emperor brother a while ago, he now walks with wind in the palace, and many people look at him differently.

Although the father has many princes, both capable and incompetent, but the father did not love a prince as much as he loved him.Maybe... maybe it's really what the mother and concubine said, the father has an unusual expectation for him.

But he was still very depressed, that's because the Mishuang he got from his concubine a few days ago made him feel at a loss, but he didn't know what to do.He had no choice but to put her in the most remote place in his palace, without even thinking about it.It was the look in her eyes that frightened him so much that he couldn't even look at her.

Therefore, if he could not return to his palace now, he would not return.It's good to go to the imperial sister's banquet to pass the time.

Xiao Ce comforted himself by walking in from the narrow passage between the Central Palace and the Changle Palace. He didn't realize that he had come an hour early until he saw that everyone was still setting up the venue.

"Huh? Your Highness Ce? Why are you here now? Did you get the time wrong?" Ru Lan happened to pass by and found Xiao Ce standing blankly at the gate of Yongchang Hall, so she approached curiously to talk.

Xiao Ce was hesitating whether to leave or stay, when he saw an innocent smile appearing in front of him unexpectedly, he couldn't help shaking his head.Without even thinking about an excuse, he blurted out: "Uh, I got the time wrong."

Ru Lan burst into a big smile, turned around and walked towards the hall naturally, and said as she walked, "Then come in, the princess and the others are so busy, they will definitely be happy that you come to do free coolies."

Free coolie?he?

Xiao Ce couldn't help but smile wryly, did he come to Changle Palace too seldom recently?Would a little court lady talk to him so impolitely?
But... Xiao Ce still involuntarily raised his legs and stepped on the steps to follow her footsteps.

Ru Lan did not lead him into the entrance of the main hall, but went around to the entrance of the garden behind and turned in.The purpose of entering was a small stage, and the layout looked the same as the ones he had seen before, so he just glanced at it casually.And bypassing the stage, there is a big room, Xiao Ce knows that it should be the preparation room for actors.

"Where is the princess?" Seeing that Ru Lan seemed to be leading him to the preparation room, Xiao Ce couldn't help asking in surprise.Is this too exaggerated?
Ru Lan smiled mysteriously, and put her fingers up in front of her lips in a silent gesture, telling him not to talk too much.

Could it be that some big name was invited?Xiao Ce's heart became active, if Huang Jie really had the ability to invite the popular Danjiaohuachen playboy who is now popular in the capital, then he would not come here in vain.

However, the closer I got to the preparation room, the more I heard the laughter of children coming from inside.It's outrageous, why should Miss Huang let a group of children disturb Playboy!Xiao Ce quickened his pace while thinking, and after the door was opened to see the situation inside clearly, no matter how well he prepared himself, he would inevitably be stunned on the spot.

"Huh? Xiao Ce, you're here? It's early!" Xiao Ziyi was busy tying a child's clothes, when he saw him come in, he took the time to wave to him.All the maids in the house saluted one after another.

Xiao Ce glanced at the huge room, not to mention that there was no trace of Playboy, not even a single person who looked like an actress.The room was full of children and maids, and the smell of rouge made him want to cry.

"Hehe, just now Dugu Xuan fought with Abu and knocked over the rouge box. If you feel choking, Xiao Ce, go out first." Seeing that he was about to sneeze, Xiao Ziyi quickly took a handkerchief from the side and handed it to him. past.

Xiao Ce hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, now he has a deep understanding that femininity can sometimes be poison.It's really lucky that these people can stay in the house for so long and enjoy it.

"Princess, how many times have I been told by this servant, you should pay attention to the address. You should call His Highness Ce Brother, or Thirteenth Brother." An elderly court lady said with a bit of reproach.

"Oh, I see." Xiao Ziyi stuck out her tongue and responded casually.This Qiao Jingjing was sent by the empress to help her organize the banquet. Although Xiao Ziyi still had feelings for the empress, she was still her elder, so she couldn't refuse no matter what.

"Princess, the children are still young, and the servants can't control them. But at least you have to set an example!" Qiao Jingjing still persuaded earnestly.

As soon as she said this, Xiao Ce found that the children in the room stuck out their tongues at the same time, made faces, imitating Xiao Ziyi's appearance just now.

He finally couldn't help laughing out loud.Although my voice is changing, it is so hoarse and unpleasant.But he just wanted to laugh.

Maybe it's because of the smell of rouge powder.Xiao Ce found an excuse for himself, and smiled happily.I laughed out all the troubles and depressions in my heart, and the more I laughed, the more relaxed my chest felt.

Unknowingly, everyone in the room was also made to laugh, lean forward and back together, or cover their mouths and chuckle.Even the serious middle-aged court lady couldn't help but curl her lips, the room was filled with laughter for a moment, and the children's silver bell-like laughter was even more touching.

Xiao Ce laughed so hard that he couldn't stand still, and sat on the ground casually against the door panel.At this moment, he no longer felt that the air in this room was choking, but felt a refreshing sweetness, so he couldn't help taking two more breaths.

"Does it smell good? In fact, it's true that the room is choking if you knock it over, but you will find it smells very good after you get used to it." Xiao Ziyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Before Xiao Ce could answer, the middle-aged court lady resentfully said: "It smells good? Of course it smells good! This is a new rouge gouache from Jiangnan this year. Such a box is worth thousands of dollars! Just like that, it's so expensive by that Dugu." The kid knocked over, princess, you don't punish him either."

Xiao Ziyi quickly pleaded softly for Duguxuan, not caring about greeting Xiao Ce again.

Maybe it was because of a hearty laugh, Xiao Ce felt extremely happy, looking at the things in front of him, he felt as fresh as if washed by water.

Really, he had already forgotten when was the last time he laughed so unscrupulously.

That's right, it's no wonder Brother Huang likes to come here. It turns out that there is really a magic power here, a magic power that makes people let go of all the burdens in their hearts and just want to stay here.

"Uncle Ce, please have some tea." A beautifully dressed little beauty who looked only as tall as his waist, wearing a floor-length skirt, was stumbling towards him with a cup of tea in his hand.

Xiao Ce gladly took it, secretly thinking that besides his twin cousin and Li Yunxuan, there is such a beautiful little girl here.Call him Uncle Ce, Zhaner, he hasn't called him that for a long time...

Huh?
Zhaner?

Xiao Ce's eyes widened, and he stared dumbfoundedly at the shy smiling girl in front of him...
