Flowers bloom again, spring goes to spring and comes again, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

One day, the crown prince Qingtian inspected and practiced in the Heavenly Army Teaching Field, and returned to Yongzheng Palace after noon.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Chenghua Palace, Qingtian heard the voices of Xiao Wu, Zi Xiao and Gui Yan. The personal maid Yanran saw him, and after saluting, he wanted to follow up the temple to serve, but he was waved away by Qingtian, he wanted to know, what were the three teenagers doing in his study?

Qingtian walked through the main hall and entered the dormitory directly, the dormitory and the study were close to each other, and the voices in the study could be heard clearly.

"Zixiao, you hand me the bamboo slips with the blue rope behind you, they are all incommonly used, and they should be placed on the top layer."

Qingtian changed into a civilian robe, and through the gap in the partition, he saw Xiao Wu sitting on a high ladder, directing Zi Xiao and Gui Yan below.

Zi Xiao stood in a pile of books on the ground, and handed the bamboo slips tied with blue rope to Gui Yan as he said, and Gui Yan stood on the fourth and fifth feet of the ladder, and passed the bamboo slips to Xiao Wu at the highest place. Guiyan had a lazy and reluctant expression on his face.

"Guiyan, if you climb the top again, can't you? I can't even reach it."

Guiyan complained listlessly, "Xiao Wu, you asked me and Zixiao to help you for two hours, and I'm hungry."

"Guiyan, you only know how to eat, and if you eat again, you will soon become a fat pig...... Hey, Guiyan, could it be that your original body is really a pig? hahaha...... Let my sister find out how?...... Oh, Zixiao, tell me first, is he a pig? Hahaha", Xiao Wu arranged the bamboo slips in his hand on the shelf, while looking for fun, and laughed at Guiyan in his mouth.

Guiyan suddenly came to his senses, pretended to be angry, and began to sway his body, and the ladder he brought shook violently, "Hmph! I'll make you laugh enough, a little girl whose hair hasn't faded, and dare to call her sister, see how I clean you up?"

"Hey, Guiyan, don't shake! don't shake...... I'm about to fall, stop making trouble!"

"Please!"

Xiao Wu folded her hands, looked down at Guiyan, and said sincerely, "Please...... You, Your Highness Piggy, hahaha...... Ahh......h Stop making a fuss!".

The innocent and hearty laughter like a silver bell, accompanied by the shouts of "Ahhh

The crown prince Qingtian listened to a few people playing together, and he also felt very interesting, feeling a little tired, he simply lay on the couch and closed his eyes to rest, and wanted to listen, what else would happen to them?

"Okay, Guiyan, don't shake it, if you shake it again, she will really fall down...... You see that she has begged for mercy, for my sake, let her go", Zi Xiao kept laughing and watching the two frolic, seeing that Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed, he reached out to help the ladder that was shaken by Guiyan, and said: "There is not much left, hurry up and finish tidying up, and go eat something."

After about a pillar of incense, Xiao Wu got off the ladder, stuck his waist, and looked at the books tied with various colored ropes, which were neatly placed on the shelves on each floor, very proud, "Okay, it's done, what do your black-faced brother want this time, it's much easier to find."

Guiyan immediately squeezed Xiao Wu, "Hmph! This is the credit of me and Zixiao! You know that exploiting us two works for nothing."

"Alas, I didn't force you, you did it yourself."

"You...... You conscienceless thing!

Standing in the central clearing surrounded by high bookshelves, Xiao Wu rolled her big eyes, and suddenly her mind flashed and she had an idea.

"I think this place is very private, if you put a carpet here, put a cushion, and put a desk, we can gather here during the day to chat, refreshments, and read, it is convenient to take and put books, and it must be good to learn while playing!

Guiyan was the first to respond, "Okay, good, the prince's brother is not here during the day, this is our private base...... Xiao Wu, I think the book you talked about is interesting, simple and easy to remember, much better than what my eldest brother said. Zi Xiao and I have really seen enough, his fierce face, let's work harder."

"I think that's fine!", Zi Xiao also agreed.

"Okay! I'll leave the homework to you, I promise to make it difficult for both of you to make it difficult for your black-faced brother."

When Qing Tian heard this, he rolled his eyes angrily, the little scholar dared to call himself black-faced, not only did the two younger brothers not think about maintaining it, but they also followed him in unison, and said that the books he talked about were not good?

Qingtian secretly felt fierce in his heart, "Hmph, wait and see, see how I clean you up in the future? It's almost heaven-turning!".

"You two set up here, I'll go get some refreshments", Xiao Wu left the study after speaking.

When Xiao Wu came back, Gui Yan pointed to the newly decorated open space and proudly displayed, "Xiao Wu, look, how is our secret base?"

Xiao Wu put down the tray in her hand, looked at the thick carpet on the ground in surprise, the soft cushions, the long table, the exquisite tea set, as well as the green flowing curtains and the vase with flowers, and praised, "Wow! Wow! How did you two do it? It's better than you imagined, you two are amazing!".

Zi Xiao didn't smile, and asked with a suspicious face: "You say, will the prince's brother find out here?"

"No, your black-faced brother will never find a book by himself, so he won't find it...... Even if he found out and knew that the two of you arranged it for the convenience of reading, he shouldn't say anything, and he would still talk about it...... Anyway, it's beneficial and harmless, rest assured!", Xiao Wu confidently analyzed the situation, he concluded that Qingtian would not care about this little thing, after all, he was too busy.

Qingtian rested his head on his hand, and a far-fetched wry smile froze at the corner of his mouth, if he hadn't happened to overhear it, how would he have known that his library was so occupied, and the culprit was the angry Lu Xiaowu.

Xiao Wu's hand bit his fingers, his eyes flashed, he thought for a moment, and proposed, "I think so, we should give this place a name."

Guiyan immediately followed, "Xiao Wu, you read a lot of books, so you should take them."

"Okay, huh, what's it called?...... It is said that there is no end to the sea of learning, so it is called the "sea of books", wandering in the sea of books, forgetting sorrows and chasing pleasures, wouldn't it be fast!".

"Sea of Books?...... Well, it's a good name!", Zi Xiao excitedly said that he liked it.

"Okay! The high-end atmosphere is high-grade, and it is called "Book Sea", Guiyan also agreed.

"Oh, I almost forgot, try this, do you like it?", Xiao Wu said, handing the red drink from the crystal cup to Zi Xiao and Gui Yan from the tray.

"It's delicious!, sweet and cool, is this transparent thing ice?", Zi Xiao asked with interest.

"Wow, it's delicious, it's so delicious!What is this?", Guiyan also asked with joy on his face.

"This is pomegranate juice with ice, it's delicious!I guess you two will like it, I've prepared it before, it's iced", Xiao Wu finished speaking, and handed them a piece of round puff pastry, "Try this again."

Guiyan put all the dim sum directly in his mouth and chewed it heavily, "Well, this one is more delicious! really! really, it melts in your mouth, crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, good...... cough cough cough", Gui Yan got carried away and choked straight cough.

"Hey, slow down, why are you still like a child? Hurry, drink some pomegranate juice to press", Xiao Wu said with disgust, helping Guiyan pounce on his back.

Zi Xiao also took a bite, and the cake suddenly cracked, he hurriedly continued with his hand, and praised vaguely in his mouth: "It's delicious! Crispy and sweet! Xiao Wu, what is this?"

Xiao Wu propped her elbows on the table, supported her face, purred her big eyes, and smiled at Zi Xiao and Gui Yan eating happily, "This is pomegranate crisp, but I made it myself...... Guiyan, don't say it in the future, I don't care about you anymore...... You two are my best friends, I only have you two in my heart, oh, and of course Cui'er, maybe ...... past".

Guiyan was afraid that Xiao Wu would be sad in the past, so he hurriedly diverted the conversation, "Hey, you are also my best friend with Zixiao, a lifelong friend, it's enough for you to have the two of us, stop thinking about any mess."

"Oh, by the way, wandering around that day, I saw that Yongzheng Palace is really big, it is estimated that there must be thousands of palaces. At the back, I found a hill and a deserted pond, which was dilapidated but quite wild...... The bottom line is that there's no one there, it's quiet."

Seeing Zi Xiao and Gui Yan glancing at each other, Xiao Wu paused, and seeing that the two had no intention of talking, she said again, "Now, I am detained in the palace by your black-faced brother and can't get out." One hundred years is a long time, but it will pass, and I don't want to get into any trouble during this period...... In the future, except for the "Sea of Books" and my hut, I should all go to the wild lotus pond, and you can go there to find me. I think we can fish together, catch rabbits and roast them together, and add some fun to this difficult day."

After listening to this, Zi Xiao shook his head busily, and said, "Xiao Wu, don't go! That's an unfortunate place, don't go, be obedient!"

Xiao Wu sat up straight, her face full of questions, "Why do you say that?

Guiyan put a piece of pomegranate crisp in his hand into his mouth, patted off the broken foam with both hands, and also reminded, "There have been many deaths, and the grievances there are too heavy, you still listen to Zixiao, don't go!"

"What the hell is going on?"

Zi Xiao saw that Xiao Wu still didn't plan to change her mind, so she explained helplessly: "There is a cold palace, a place where women who have made mistakes and fallen out of favor are imprisoned, and they have been cursed countless times, and they are extremely angry, and it is an unclean place that everyone taboos and avoids."

After listening to the explanation, Xiao Wu grinned, "Oh, it's just the wailing of some resentful souls in the deep palace, what's so scary?...... Besides, what are those unjust souls entangled with my little scholar? It's just a miserable person...... Hehe, can't you still sympathize with each other?...... Well, everyone thinks that if you don't go away, then you can really be quiet, and you can really be free, which is good! I like it more!".

Zi Xiao frowned, pouted with a handsome face, and continued to persuade, "Xiao Wu, don't be willful, if you provoke something dirty, it's not fun...... You can't go!Xiao Wu, you must be obedient."

Xiao Wu stared at the big eyes, a little impatient, and said, "Okay, you two don't have to worry about me, anyway, if you can't find me, just look for it, you two go or not, whatever!"
