Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 9
"Auntie, Auntie! Look, isn't the carp painted by Zhan'er pretty?" Xiao Zhan's crisp childish voice echoed in the study from far to near.Seeing his flushed little face, Xiao Ziyi suddenly became happier.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat off Xiao Zhan's face, and said softly: "Be careful when drawing by the pool, don't fall into the pool."

Xiao Zhan has been running to her these days, and after getting Xiao Jingyang's permission, he stays longer and longer every day.Xiao Ziyi taught him to draw some things around him every day, and played chess pieces with him. She sat reading while he was painting, and felt that every day was very comfortable.Everyone in Changle Palace loved this little ancestor to death. Xiao Zhan was well educated and reasonable. He was a big kid, and his small mouth was even sweeter.

Every time Xiao Ziyi heard his voice calling her aunt, her mood became very comfortable.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there are many people looking at me!" Xiao Zhan handed the painting to Xiao Ziyi, and said proudly: "Auntie, look, has my painting improved?"

"Yes, the scales of the carp are more detailed." Xiao Ziyi nodded and found a few tadpoles in the painting, then remembered the story of the little tadpoles looking for their mother, and slowly told Xiao Zhan.Xiao Zhan was so curious that Xiao Ziyi simply drew a few pictures and told him one by one.

"Then... did the little tadpole find his mother in the end?" Xiao Zhan asked in a muffled voice while nestling in Xiao Ziyi's arms.

"Of course I found it! The little tadpole grows bigger and bigger, and looks more and more like their mother." Xiao Ziyi carefully drew stick figures with charcoal sticks in her right hand. The injury on her hand was almost healed. Being with Xiao Zhan naturally doesn't need to hide this.

"Then... When Zhan'er grows up, will he be able to find his mother and concubine?" Xiao Zhan turned his head and looked at Xiao Ziyi expectantly.

Xiao Ziyi was startled, met Xiao Zhan's big black and white eyes, recalled the fact that the child was born without a mother, and couldn't help but secretly scolded herself for being so careless.How could such a sensitive story be told to this child without even thinking about it?
Seeing that Xiao Ziyi didn't answer, Xiao Zhan continued on his own: "Hehe, Zhan'er is so stupid, I haven't grown up yet, how can aunt know what will happen to Zhan'er when he grows up?"

Seeing that Xiao Zhan forgot what he just said as soon as he turned around, Xiao Ziyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Auntie, are these paintings linked together?" Xiao Zhan flipped through Xiao Ziyi's paintings in his hand, feeling extremely miraculous.

"Well, there are numbers in the lower left corner of the page, and they are arranged in that order." Xiao Ziyi arranged the pictures, taught Xiao Zhan how to write a narration, how to make a cover, and then threaded them with a rope.

Dangdang!The first comic book in history was born.

Xiao Ziyi looked at Xiao Zhan who couldn't put it down, and felt more comforted in her heart. She never thought that this crude comic book would bring her great danger in the future.

"Auntie..." After Xiao Zhan was happy for a while, his face collapsed, and he stood awkwardly in front of Xiao Ziyi.

Xiao Ziyi smiled and said, "If you like these paintings, just take them back."

Xiao Zhan's small face brightened for a moment, then dimmed again, and he said hesitantly: "That's not the case. Aunt...Zhan'er wants to ask my aunt what kind of life she lived outside the palace before?"

Xiao Ziyi was stunned for a moment, what kind of life did she lead?How did she know what kind of life the original Xiao Ziyi lived?

"Also, who do you know? How did the father find out and bring him back to the palace?" Xiao Zhan rolled his small eyes again and again, and said stiffly like an endorsement.

Xiao Ziyi's heart sank, these words were definitely not what Xiao Zhan wanted to ask.What do children know about inside and outside the palace?He is only four years old! "Zhan'er, tell aunt the truth, who asked you to ask aunt these questions?" Xiao Ziyi asked in a gentle voice as much as possible.

Xiao Zhan tilted his head and asked naively: "Can't you ask? Grandma Huang said that Zhan'er can ask aunt these questions, and that aunt will definitely answer."

Looking at Xiao Zhan's innocent and lovely smiling face, Xiao Ziyi felt inexplicably sad.This child is only four years old, and she has already been used as a tool by others, and they have come to her to talk to her.

Looking at Xiao Zhan's expectant eyes, Xiao Ziyi suddenly realized that the most pitiful people in this court were not the women in the harem fighting for favor, nor the courtiers seizing power, but the innocent children involved.

"Um... Auntie, if it's hard to answer, Zhan'er just say I forgot to ask. Anyway, I really forgot a few days ago." Xiao Zhan stuck out his tongue and shaved his cheeks embarrassedly.

Xiao Ziyi was speechless, at this moment she really wished that she was really speechless.No answer, no answer.

Seeing Xiao Ziyi's silence, Xiao Zhan thought that he had made his aunt angry by doing something wrong, so he lowered his head sullenly.

"Princess, Sister Huanhe has come to pick up His Highness and return to the palace." After an unknown amount of time, Ruozhu's voice came from outside, followed by the sound of the wooden door being pushed open.

Xiao Ziyi raised her head and saw a court lady with a demure, gentle and elegant demeanor came in, she saluted and walked to Xiao Zhan's side to hold his hand.It's not fair, this so-called sister Huanhe is obviously much older than her!Why is she an older sister and an aunt?This thought suddenly popped up in Xiao Ziyi's mind, and she became more and more angry.

"Princess, this servant has brought His Highness back to the palace. Your Highness?" Huan He pulled Xiao Zhan's hand and motioned him to follow her.

Xiao Zhan secretly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ziyi, and found that the latter's face was still cold, thinking that his aunt was still angry, his little face immediately collapsed.

And the next moment, his other hand was surrounded by familiar warmth, which made him turn around in surprise.His beautiful little aunt held him with one hand, and quickly wrote on the paper with the other hand: [Let him stay tonight. ]
