Chapter 282 The rumors are getting more and more outrageous

Xia Miaoyuan rubbed her eyes and said, "No, I can go to school."

"I promised my father last time that I can't ask for leave or skip school unless I'm sick or have something unavoidable."

"I have to go to school today no matter what."

"I want to be a good child who studies hard and makes progress every day, and I want to be a self-disciplined princess of Daxia."

Xia Miaoyuan's eyes were fixed and her tone was firm.

"Okay then." The queen was a little helpless.

...

The main hall.

The teacher hadn't arrived yet, and there was a noise in the classroom.

Liang Zhirou and Feng Manman sat at the same long table, holding hands and leaning against each other, looking very close.

Feng Manman said with a gossipy look on her face: "Sister Zhirou, yesterday was a day off. Did you hear about the strange things in Kunning Palace?"

Liang Zhirou smiled knowingly and said: "This kind of strange thing that shocked the heaven and earth and made the ghosts weep, who doesn't know about it!"

"Yesterday, my mother happened to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, and then she happened to hear about this matter with her own ears."

Feng Manman's eyes lit up: "Sister Zhirou, you are well-informed, and it's first-hand information. I'm afraid it's much more accurate than our information that has been passed on several times."

"Good sister, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Liang Zhirou proudly adjusted the small braid on her temples, and cleared her throat pretentiously, and then said in a mysterious tone: "Yesterday morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining."

"In Kunning Palace, the Empress and Princess Anguo were sitting in the main hall chatting."

"Just at this moment, there was a loud bang, and a huge thunder exploded."

When she said this, Liang Zhirou glanced around, but happened to meet Yan Ruoxi's eyes.

Yan Ruoxi was sitting in the row behind the two of them. When she heard them say "Empress", she subconsciously looked up.

Feng Manman saw Liang Zhirou stopped and followed her line of sight.

"Sister Yan, we are talking about the thunder in the drought yesterday. Are you interested in listening?" Feng Manman said with a smug look on her face, with a hint of arrogance in her tone.

"I advise you to stop talking and study hard, and don't talk about palace affairs." Yan Ruoxi said lightly, then lowered her head and moved her eyes to the book in her hand.

Feng Manman felt that she was despised and insulted, and put her hands on her waist in dissatisfaction, "Hmph! What are you pretending for! You are used to pretending to be cold. Who are you pretending for?"

"Don't listen, we don't want to tell you yet!"

"Such a wonderful story, a rare and strange thing in a century, I won't tell you!"

Liang Zhirou pulled Feng Manman's sleeve: "Don't talk about those, let's hurry up, the teacher will be here soon, and we can't talk anymore."

Feng Manman sat down quickly and pretended to listen attentively.

Liang Zhirou continued, "This thunderbolt instantly penetrated the roof of Kunning Palace and hit the pillars in the hall."

"At that time, the Queen and Princess Anguo were sitting next to the pillars."

"Just with this one strike, the pillar that two people hugged was instantly smashed to pieces!"

Feng Manman was so shocked that her eyes widened when she heard this, and she bit her thumb nervously, "The pillars in the main hall were all smashed to pieces?"

Liang Zhirou got close to Feng Manman's face and said, "How could it be false? When the eunuchs of Kunning Palace carried the broken pillars out, many eunuchs and maids in the palace saw it."

Feng Manman was stunned, "Oh my God! Such a powerful thunderbolt in drought!"

"If this hits someone, what will happen to them?"

Liang Zhirou said with a click of the tongue: "If it hits someone, they will definitely die!"

Feng Manman pinched the corner of her clothes hard, and cold sweat broke out on her palms.

Then, she asked: "The queen and the princess were so close to the pillar, are they okay?"

Liang Zhirou looked around and whispered: "How can they be okay when they are so close? I heard that their hair was blown up, more messy than a chicken coop, and their faces were black."

"Ah! So scary!" Feng Manman exclaimed.

After calming down, Feng Manman asked again: "Sister Zhirou, tell me, in such a big capital city, why did this thunderbolt during a drought hit the pillar of Kunning Palace?"

Liang Zhirou lowered her voice: "You are really smart. You asked the point right away."

"Have you ever heard of heavenly punishment?"

Feng Manman blinked her big eyes, which were clear but revealed a hint of stupidity, and shook her head.

Liang Zhirou was shocked: "You haven't even heard of this!"

"The so-called heavenly punishment refers to the emperors, empresses and other people in the mortal world. These people with special identities, if they are morally flawed, unworthy of their positions, or if they do something against heaven and earth, they will anger heaven."

"The heaven will send down thunder and lightning specifically to strike them as punishment."

Feng Manman was so frightened that she covered her mouth with her little hands: "Sister, that means... God is not satisfied with the empress and Princess Anguo?"

Liang Zhirou nodded approvingly: "Well, this child is teachable!"

"I'm telling you in secret, don't tell anyone. Now everyone in the palace says that the empress and princess are unlucky, and God doesn't like them and wants to take them away."

At this moment, Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin ran into the classroom hand in hand, panting.

"Fortunately, I'm not late." Xiao Wanyin glanced at the copper kettle dripping and said with a smile.

Xia Miaoyuan sat down on the seat and put down his schoolbag weakly.

Liang Zhirou and Feng Manman stopped talking immediately when they saw the two of them coming in, and looked at them at the

same time. The two of them looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Liang Zhirou pointed at Xia Miaoyuan with her eyes, then pointed at her eyes and face, and pouted at Feng Manman.

The meaning was: Look at Xia Miaoyuan's dark circles and complexion, he was really struck by lightning yesterday.

Feng Manman poked her head to look at Xia Miaoyuan, and nodded at Liang Zhirou approvingly.

Xiao Wanyin happened to catch a glimpse of Liang Zhirou and Feng Manman's little movements in the back seat, and turned back curiously: "What are you two doing? Instead of talking properly, you are making gestures?"

Feng Manman was a little embarrassed: "We like it, so what? This way we can practice the tacit understanding between friends."

The fifth prince and the seventh prince hurried over when they saw Xia Miaoyuan coming.

They also heard something about the drought thunder, but they went out of the palace to play yesterday, and it was already very late when they learned the news, so they did not go to Kunning Palace to visit Xia Miaoyuan.

The fifth prince approached Xia Miaoyuan and found at a glance that the ninth sister, who always had fair skin and rosy complexion, had a dark complexion today, which was very abnormal. His heart was immediately lifted.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Were you scared by the drought thunder? Why do you look so bad?"

Xia Miaoyuan rubbed his cheeks with his two chubby hands, trying to make himself more energetic.

"It's okay, it was just thunder, I just got scared at the time. It's okay after that." Xia Miaoyuan's tone was very relaxed, as if he was telling a funny story.

"That's good, that's good, I thought you were scared by the thunder in the drought and couldn't sleep."

The fifth prince and the seventh prince sat back in their seats when they saw that Xia Miaoyuan was fine.

Liang Zhirou and Feng Manman exchanged glances again, and the amount of information in their eyes was astonishing.

At this time, the gentleman came in, and everyone shut up.

...

Royal Manor Nursery.

Princess Jin has brought back the old woman who was rescued from the street for a few days.

The old woman said that her surname was Xie, so Princess Jin called her Aunt Xie.
