Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 312
After eating a few slices of watermelon indiscriminately, Xiao Ziyi found an excuse and retreated from Qingliang Hall.When she stood back under the sun again, she realized that her body had regained some temperature.

Jiji, in ancient times, when a woman's hair was 15 years old, it meant that she was allowed to marry.The Ji ceremony can also be held at any time, but it does not have to be held immediately after the age of 15.Xiao Ziyi once heard Ruozhu mention that when one of her older sisters, Princess Changping, had to give up the ceremony three days in advance and one day in advance, there were a lot of complicated etiquettes that she couldn't even understand.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't want her to salute so early.Xiao Ziyi rubbed his palms that were a little numb from holding the frozen watermelon for too long, and walked towards Changle Palace.Just as she was passing by a rockery made of Taihu Lake stones, she suddenly felt alert and stopped, looking up at a rockery.

Sure enough, he saw a crimson skirt.

The heart was beating very hard suddenly.Xiao Ziyi looked around subconsciously, but unexpectedly found no one else.

Xiao Ziyi took a deep breath and said softly, "Brother Emperor...are you waiting for me?" She didn't think so, because this road was the only way she had to go back to Changle Palace.

Xiao Jingyang's handsome face gradually appeared from behind the uneven rocks.

When Xiao Ziyi met his affectionate eyes, she finally couldn't help taking a step back.Wrong, they should not meet, especially in this Weiyang Palace.

"Ziyi, what's the matter? Did your father say something to you?" Xiao Jingyang hurriedly took a step forward and asked eagerly.

"I didn't say anything. I just told me that the time for the ceremony has not been fixed. I told him not to hold any banquet on my 15th birthday." Xiao Ziyi looked around anxiously.Just now the emperor's meaning was very clear, he just didn't want her to be alone with Xiao Jingyang.She didn't know if Xiao Jingyang would offend the emperor even more now.

Xiao Jingyang saw her worry and stretched out his hand to pull her into the rockery. "Don't worry, I will let my people watch, and no one will find you and me here for the time being." Xiao Jingyang looked at her greedily. It has been many days, does she know how much longing he has to hold back to stop? to see her.Every day, he always asked Zhan'er about her news tirelessly. The moment he saw her in front of Qingliang Hall, he could hardly help but want to hug her into his arms.

But he can't.He promised his father not to think about it, not to visit her again.

Xiao Jingyang clenched his fists, his nails penetrated into his palms, and hit the rockery heavily.

Xiao Ziyi's heart was shocked, seeing Xiao Jingyang's expression mixed with unwillingness and distress, she felt that his punch seemed to hit her in the heart. "Brother Huang, what happened between you and your father?" Xiao Jingyang's strange behavior in the past month must have something to do with the person in Qingliang Hall now.No matter how talented Xiao Jingyang is, he is no match for that person.Just like Sun Wukong couldn't turn out the palm of Lord Buddha's palm.

Xiao Jingyang wiped his face, returned to his usual gentle and refined expression, and smiled at her faintly: "It's nothing, I just beg Father not to marry you off so soon."

Of course Xiao Ziyi knew that Xiao Jingyang's request would not be that simple, at least one of the conditions in exchange was that he could not contact her.She smiled bitterly, and sighed softly: "Brother Huang, why bother? Isn't it good for us to be brothers and sisters? Why do we have to be strangers now?"

Xiao Jingyang was startled, his handsome eyes stared at her closely, and after a long time, he pursed his lips bitterly and asked with difficulty: "Ziyi, I thought you liked me."

Xiao Ziyi subconsciously turned her face away to avoid his gaze, nodded and said, "Yes, I like you. But it's not that kind of liking. I have always... regarded you as the emperor's brother."

"No, you're lying." Xiao Jingyang took a step forward and said with certainty.

The space inside the rockery was not that big, Xiao Ziyi looked down at the toes of the two people's shoes, and heard Xiao Jingyang's rapid and tense breathing in her ears, and she heard herself say calmly, "I'm not lying, you are My royal brother."

"Zi Yi, I will ask Father for permission. If Father agrees, everything will be easy. You just need to feign death and become a daughter of the Shen family, then you can be with me." Xiao Jingyang said cautiously.Everything he arranged before was ruined because he miscalculated the attitude of his father.Then take your time in the future, as long as the father is willing to think about him, he will definitely agree to this matter.He eagerly looked at the beauty who was close at hand, but he didn't dare to reach out to touch her.

Xiao Ziyi smiled bitterly, and wanted to explain to him that she already had someone she liked, but she was afraid that once she said this, she would never be able to see Nangong Sheng again.She raised her head, met Xiao Jingyang's eyes, and asked anxiously: "Brother Huang, how dare you be sure that we are not brother and sister?" What if all this was a misunderstanding, and it was all his own random thinking?
Seeing that she was finally willing to raise his head to face him, Xiao Jing curled his lips in satisfaction, with a shyness similar to Xiao Zhan's in his smile.

Xiao Ziyi was stunned by this scene, so that she only heard half of what he said, and asked again in disbelief: "Brother Huang, what did you just say?"

Xiao Jingyang stretched out his hand to brush away the broken hair on her cheeks, and repeated softly: "Ziyi, do you know? Your mother and concubine were married before entering the palace."

What?Xiao Ziyi seemed to be struck by lightning, and she stood there dumbfounded and could barely breathe.But Xiao Jingyang's words were still pouring into her ears continuously.

"This is what I found out by accident when I was searching for your whereabouts these years. Aunt Yun and Mr. Ye have been engaged since childhood, and they have also worshiped each other. It was the father who took the love..." Xiao Jingyang's voice gradually dropped .Sometimes the Emperor has enough things to do as he pleases.He didn't want her to know, but he was terribly afraid of losing her.

Xiao Jingyang looked at his slightly trembling hands and smiled wryly. Every time he saw her, he felt as if he was one step further away from her.He really wished he could turn back time, go back to the day they met again, and start all over again.

Xiao Ziyi clenched her fists and asked blankly, "Then why are you so sure that Ye Zhiqiu is my father?"
