Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 308
Mingguang Palace

Tan Yueli played with the exquisitely carved jade unicorn paperweight on the table, and thoughtfully looked at Xiao Jingyang who was pacing back and forth in the room like a trapped animal.

Today's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seldom has such a sad expression, let alone he has been walking back and forth in the study for half an hour with this expression.

But Xiao Jingyang didn't say anything, and it was not easy to ask about Tan Yueli.

As the staff member and good friend of His Highness the Prince for so long, Tan Yueli naturally knew that he didn't need to ask.If he could know something, Xiao Jingyang would definitely tell him.If he can't know something, there's no need to ask.

However, he played checkers with him until midnight yesterday to make up for Xing Yue's birthday.That kid Xingyue asked for leave today and didn't go to the kindergarten, but he got up before dawn to report to Mingguang Palace, he's not in good spirits!
Just when Tan Yueli was about to close his eyes and was about to fall asleep, he finally heard Xiao Jingyang say hesitantly: "Yueli, Xiao Xu is back."

"Oh." Tan Yueli reluctantly turned his head that was about to rust, and it took him a while to equate Xiao Xu with the Fifth Prince.He yawned lazily and said, "Didn't he go outside the customs again? Why did he come back so soon?"

Xiao Jingyang squeezed out words word by word from between his teeth, and said slowly: "When he came back, he went to see his father, and said that he would marry Ziyi to Turkic for marriage!"

"Boom!" The jade unicorn paperweight in Tan Yueli's hand fell on the table, and he was so frightened that he lost all sleepiness. He quickly jumped up, picked up the paperweight carefully, and looked through it, and then let it go after confirming that there was no damage. tone.Huh, this is the treasure that the emperor bestowed on the crown prince during the crown prince ceremony. If he accidentally broke it, he would not be able to pay for it even if he died!
"Don't worry about that, it'll be broken if it breaks." Xiao Jingyang frowned, watching with displeasure that Tan Yueli was actually worried about breaking a paperweight after hearing the news.

"It's all right, it's all right, put it away." Tan Yueli put the paperweight away, and touched the slippery jade texture with his fingertips a few more times.so good!I don't know which piece of Hetian jade Ruyi he will get in a few days is better than this one. "Hey, what did Your Highness say just now? Oh, marriage? Good marriage! But... Uh, but this one can't let Princess Changle go. No, Your Highness, you have to stop it." Tan Yueli was talking vigorously when he saw Xiao Jingyang His complexion was wrong, so he quickly turned back to his tone.

"Oh?" Xiao Jingyang changed his previous irritability, put his hands behind his back, looked at Tan Yueli inscrutablely, and wanted to hear what he had to say.

Tan Yueli knew that although His Highness the Crown Prince was obedient in front of Xiao Ziyi, that did not mean that His Highness the Crown Prince was a soft persimmon to be kneaded by others.In front of the emperor, he is a model son of extreme filial piety, in front of the empress dowager, he is an obedient grandson, in front of the Taifu, he is a diligent student who respects teachers, but in front of friends and ministers... he is not easy to get along with people.Because the position of the prince is not easy to sit firmly.He has accompanied him all the way, and he has seen many things that should have happened or things that should not have happened.

Tan Yueli put away the thoughts that flashed in his head, first looked at the expression on Xiao Jingyang's face, and then said tentatively: "Yueli doesn't know why the Fifth Highness made such efforts to facilitate this matter, but Yueli dares to conclude that this is the case. It can't be done."

"Tell me." Xiao Jingyang walked behind the desk and sat down, stretched out his hand to pick up the cold unicorn paperweight on the table, and slowly rubbed it in his palm.

Tan Yueli sat up straight, and solemnly said slowly: "First, the relationship between Turkic and this dynasty is very complicated. Although the heir of the current Turkic Khan is young and unmarried, the courtiers on both sides will never Let this matter go smoothly. After all, this involves years of grievances. Besides, the heir of the Turkic Khan has heard that the reputation is very bad, and many tribes secretly disapprove of him."

"Continue." The expression on Xiao Jingyang's handsome face did not change at all.

"Secondly, regardless of the opinions of the courtiers, according to His Majesty's temper, he would never let his daughter marry a foreign race, let alone the most favored Princess Changle." Tan Yueli talked eloquently.

Xiao Jingyang curled his lips and regarded it as a smile.Father's daughter?The most favored princess?Indeed, people who don't know the inside story must think so.But the more he understood what happened that year, the closer he was to the truth, the colder he felt.

Fifth brother, can't he see that he likes Ziyi?How could it be so active to promote a marriage?Maybe this time, the father wants to make Ziyi far away.

Tan Yueli saw that Xiao Jingyang's face was getting uglier, so he bit his bullet and continued, "This is the third one! Princess Changle is not as good as Ji..."

"One more month." Xiao Jingyang said coldly.In one month, Ziyi will reach the age of Ji.

"Ah? Oh!" Tan Yueli was stunned for a moment before he realized it.It turns out that the timing is so coincidental!Sensitive, he found that there might be something inside that he didn't know.

Xiao Jingyang held the cold jade paperweight in his hand, and the coldness directly spread to the bottom of his heart.

Tan Yueli stared blankly at Xiao Jingyang's face for a while, and then let out a heavy breath. "Jingyang, you have something on your mind that you didn't say." There must be something, even if Xiao Jingyang couldn't bear to part with his sister, he wouldn't have this expression.

Xiao Jingyang knew that when Tan Yueli changed his address and called him, he was returning to his status as a friend.But how could he say what was in his heart so easily?Xiao Jingyang slowly put down the jade paperweight in his hand, and suddenly changed the subject: "How's the business going?"

Tan Yueli sighed in disappointment, and said lightly: "Don't worry, Your Highness's funds are in good operation. I know His Highness doesn't approve of me copying the kindergarten's stuff and selling it..."

"It's okay, try to expand your business." Xiao Jingyang said in a deep voice.

Tan Yueli was startled, what did this sentence mean?But he was only in charge of Xiao Jingyang's money affairs, and he didn't know much about other things.The two bastards Li Yunqing and Duguye couldn't see anyone at all, and there wasn't even anyone to ask.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Shen is here to convey the emperor's oral order." The little eunuch guarding outside reported in a shrill voice.

Tan Yueli was full of questions, but had no place to ask them, so he had to bow and leave.

Before leaving, he inadvertently caught a strange look in Xiao Jingyang's eyes that he had never seen before, which made him shudder...
