They carried Ning Chengrui and hurried to Changqing Palace to report to Concubine Rong.

Yu Meiren was not very smart. Seeing Ning Chengrui injured, she seemed to be gloating. She had also been punched by Ning Chengrui this morning and it was still a little painful.

"Go call your mother quickly." She smiled at Xia Jing, which seemed to be a reminder, but was actually a ridicule.

In her opinion, no matter what happened in the middle, Ning Chengrui was injured because of Xia Jing, and Rongpin would definitely make trouble for Xia Jing.

The first thing Rongpin wanted to find was trouble with Concubine Yu.

After returning to the palace, Ning Chengrui immediately said that it was Concubine Yu who instigated him to beat Xia Jing.

Rongpin didn't dare to cause trouble for Xia Jing and Xiao Yue for the time being. With this excuse, she directed her anger at Concubine Yu.

In front of the eunuchs and palace maids, she raised her hand and slapped the beautiful Yu hard on the left cheek.

Lady Yu's body tilted and she collapsed to the ground, angry but not daring to say a word.

Rongpin sent a palace maid to the Imperial Hospital to find the experienced Wen Daosheng to examine Ning Chengrui's body.

The injuries were not serious, only scratches on the hands and forehead. The Eighth Prince was only five years old and still in the novice protection period.

"What's wrong with the Eighth Prince?" Wen Daosheng stroked his goatee and asked curiously.

"I'm sorry for being so playful..."

Before Rongpin could finish her words, Ning Chengrui shouted, "It's Ning Xiajing! I'm going to kill him! Go and sink him into the well!"

"Shut up!" Rongpin glared at him, then looked at Wen Daosheng: "Imperial Physician Wen has worked hard, please don't tell anyone about this."

"I know it, it's the Eighth Prince who loves to play." Wen Daosheng said with a smile.

Rongpin waved her hand, and the palace maid behind her handed over some silver and money, which Wen Daosheng happily accepted.

Rongpin glanced at Concubine Yu in the corner and said, "Please ask Imperial Physician Wen to take a look at Sister Yu as well. Rui'er is in trouble, and Sister Yu was so anxious that she hit herself. It looks quite serious."

Wen Daosheng took a look and saw that the slap mark was on the thumb, so how could it be his own? He pretended to be confused and nodded.

On his way back, he was astonished. The Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince had clashed, and the Eighth Prince had ended up being at a disadvantage. The Eighth Prince had been injured, yet Concubine Rong had acted as if to keep the peace.

When he returned to the Imperial Hospital from Jingyixuan that day, he carefully investigated Xiao Zhaoyi, but found no signs that Xiao Zhaoyi was favored. He thought he had been deceived. Now it seems that there must be something fishy on Xiao Zhaoyi's side.

He didn't know that the so-called strange thing was that Xiao Zhaoyi and Rongpin were fighting.

In the harem, fighting is not scary; the scariest thing is being forgotten.

Forgetting is a kind of imprisonment and a blockade of information. When the emperor's ears are not reached about a concubine's affairs, she becomes an inferior person who can be despised and humiliated.

Rongpin wanted to keep this matter secret, and block any news about Xiaoyue. She ordered Concubine Yu and the palace servants to keep their mouths shut, but the news still reached Emperor Kangning's ears.

There was no way around it. The concubine of Emperor Kangning's personal eunuch Xu Zhongde was a fan of the Ninth Prince. Xu Zhongde was crazy about endorsing the Ninth Prince. He would find a suitable opportunity to tell the news that he could have reported or not in the past.

This right opportunity is very important. The same news, spoken at different times, will cause Emperor Kangning to have completely different emotions.

In the imperial study, Emperor Kangning stroked his mustache and said, "This little Jiu is really lucky."

Eunuch Xu told the story of how the Eighth Prince punched the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince happened to avoid it by picking up a stone.

"How could someone of Tianyou's bloodline not have some luck?" Eunuch Xu secretly praised Emperor Kangning, then turned back to Xia Jing. "The Ninth Prince is not only lucky, but also has a good personality and a particularly endearing appearance. I saw him when I went to Jingyixuan. He's even cuter than His Majesty's favorite Ding kiln white glaze child pillow."

Xu Zhongde wanted to arouse the interest of Emperor Kangning and asked Emperor Kangning to meet the Ninth Prince.

"Oh?" Emperor Kang Ning's reaction was indifferent.

Xu Zhongde was not discouraged. If he failed this time, there would be next time and the next time. Talking to someone in a whisper is a long-term process.

Emperor Kangning's mind returned to this incident. He had just asked Rongpin to behave herself, but Rongpin caused trouble!

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Go to Changqing Palace and ask her how many copies of the Buddhist scriptures she has copied."

"Yes." Xu Zhongde replied, feeling happy.

This is a punishment for Concubine Rong to copy Buddhist scriptures!

Xu Zhongde brought the words to Changqing Palace, and Concubine Rong became furious again. Another slap mark appeared on Concubine Yu's right cheek.

……

Xiao Yue was also slightly furious.

As soon as he returned to Jingyixuan, Xiao Tianzi turned himself in. If it was just that the route to the laundry was a little circuitous, he wouldn't have dared to hide it, but how could he dare to hide the conflict with the Eighth Prince?

Xiao Yue was shocked and frightened. She didn't let Xia Jing go out because she was afraid Rongpin would do something to Xia Jing. Her worries really came true!

Xia Jing was fine this time, but what about next time? She was very annoyed.

"Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Tianzi. If you want to punish someone, punish me!" Xia Jing stood in front of Xiao Tianzi and showed off his acting skills.

Xiao Yue didn't say anything. She walked forward with a serious face, clamped Xia Jing's back with her left arm, raised her right hand and slapped him on the butt.

Xia Jing's eyes widened. I was just saying it, why did you really punish me? Go punish Xiao Tianzi!

Xiao Yue didn't hit her hard. In her previous life, when Xia Jing was having sex with his girlfriend, he'd hit her much harder. So she didn't take it seriously, even wanting to ask, "Mom, haven't you eaten yet?"

He didn't move and let Xiao Yue hit him. Xiao Yue clapped her hands twice but didn't move.

Xia Jing felt his head was a little cold, and some water droplets fell on his hair.

He looked up and saw Xiao Yue's tearful eyes.

He panicked immediately. No, I'm fine. It's Ning Chengrui who's in trouble. Why are you crying?

Yi Qiu hurriedly drove Xiao Tianzi away and comforted his master.

"Mom, I promise..." Xia Jing raised three fingers.

"When have you ever told the truth!" Xiao Yue poked his forehead with her index finger, which was more painful than spanking.

Xia Jing pretended to be wronged: "I really want to, but my legs won't obey."

As he said this, he knocked his thigh hard.

Xiao Yue helped hold him back and massaged him.

"Mother is not stopping Jing'er from going out to play, but Jing'er saw it today. Next time you meet the Eighth Prince, he will beat Jing'er. What should Jing'er do?" Xiao Yue advised earnestly.

She cried not because Xia Jing was disobedient, but because she was afraid that Xia Jing was really beaten.

Xia Jing said nothing, but he had to go out.

Xiao Yue thought for a long time, then held Xia Jing's shoulders and said seriously, "Jing'er, wherever you want to go tomorrow, your mother will go with you."

It was easy for her to defeat the Eighth Prince, and even if Concubine Rong came, she could fight two of them alone.

Xia Jing didn't expect that she was not planning to strengthen the confinement, but was going to personally serve as a bodyguard. He was touched.

But Xiao Yue was in poor health, so how could she follow him around? Moreover, with Xiao Yue around, it was inconvenient for him to move around.

He felt even more that it was time to find someone from the royal family to protect him. With a backer who could be publicly recognized, Xiao Yue could rest assured.

The emperor cannot be seen for the time being, and Emperor Kangning is very cold-blooded and cannot be easily subdued.

The Empress Dowager is less difficult to deal with, but the Cining Palace is not easy to break into.

The rest are concubines and princes and princesses. It is difficult to approach them privately, but if you approach them openly, it is too formal and difficult to perform well.

Chapter 16 The Ninth Prince is scammed

Xia Jing originally thought that he would have to stay in Jingyixuan for two days to appease Xiao Yue's emotions, but he didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events and the news of Rongpin's punishment reached Jingyixuan.

Early in the morning, Yi Qiu went to the imperial kitchen to get food and brought back the good news. Rongpin was punished to copy Buddhist scriptures, and the eighth prince was also under house arrest!

The Eighth Prince had a bad temper and made a loud noise in Changqing Palace, which is why the matter got out.

Xiao Yue was relieved and let go of Xia Jing's hand. Since Xia Jing woke up, she had been holding this overly active child, afraid that he would run away.

While eating breakfast, Xia Jing thought that the news of Concubine Rong being punished was probably not because of the Eighth Prince's disturbance.

It must be the concubine who had a bad relationship with Rongpin who spread the news.

But, this has nothing to do with him... huh?

Xia Jing blinked and looked at the light curtain in front of him.

[After numerous failed plots and humiliating endings, Concubine Rong has completely resented you and your son. She now considers you her number one enemy, no longer just petty quarrels as before.]

[Mission: Resolve Rongpin]

This Rongpin is truly the best NPC. This kind of system quest is very rare. In the game, there are usually only 20 or 30 of them in a whole round. Rongpin alone triggered two of them. And no sooner had she completed one than another one came!

Xia Jing read the first paragraph again. Was it Rongpin's grudge? Was he trying to pin the blame for spreading the news on Jingyixuan? The mission goal was to completely eliminate Rongpin; they had become a mortal enemy.

In the previous life game, my mortal enemy was at least the leader of a separatist force. Now he has become an ordinary concubine, which is good.

The task was not difficult. He swiped the panel, ate the rice dumplings, and glanced at other interfaces. He found that one of them had changed, which was his personal interface.

[Name: Ningxia Jing]

Age: Three years old

[Identity: Ninth Prince of the Ning Dynasty]

[Title: None]

[Birth mother: Xiao Yue (Zhaoyi)]

[Biological father: Ning Yuanqian (Emperor Kangning)]

[Residence: Jingyixuan-Main Hall]

[Prestige: 1]

[Corning's review: Quite interesting.]

[Commentary from the government and the opposition: Who are you?]

His prestige rose a bit, and Emperor Kangning's evaluation became somewhat interesting.

His prestige came from his struggle with Concubine Rong. What was Emperor Kangning's evaluation like? He hadn't prepared to attack Emperor Kangning yet.

Is it Eunuch Xu? He instantly thought of the key.

Most of the punishments that Rongpin received were caused by Eunuch Xu. It was convenient to have someone by the emperor's side.

After turning off all the panels and finishing the last dumpling, Xia Jing jumped off the chair.

Yi Qiu and Xiao Tianzi immediately blocked the door.

"?!" Xia Jing looked at them in shock.

Forget about Yi Qiu, but how come you have become such a person, Xiao Tianzi!

Xiao Yue was relieved that Concubine Rong was suffering, but she still felt that she should stay out of the spotlight for the next few days. She ordered Yi Qiu and Xiao Tianzi to keep an eye on the Ninth Prince. Unless the Ninth Prince took her, his mother, with him, she was not allowed to leave the house!

The two men put in their utmost attention, guarding the door one on the left and one on the right, more seriously than the two generals posted in ordinary people's homes.

Xia Jing remained calm, waiting for Xiao Yue to take a nap, and sat on a chair playing Nine Rings.

Yi Qiu was a playful child and was quickly attracted by the Nine Rings. Seeing that Xia Jing couldn't solve it, he offered some guidance.

Xia Jing pretended not to understand and made repeated mistakes, which made her very anxious.

"Sister, let me show you how to solve it." Xia Jing handed over the nine-ring chain.

"Keep a close eye on it." Yi Qiu instructed Xiao Tianzi and walked to Xia Jing.

"Don't worry, young lady!" Xiao Tianzi spread his legs and blocked the door. There was a rule in the palace that doors could not be locked during the day, otherwise there would not be such trouble.

Yi Qiu picked up the Nine Rings. He was very cautious at first, but in less than a cup of tea, he was addicted to the game.

"I don't want to play anymore! This is a bad thing that can't be solved!" Seeing that the time was right, Xia Jing pretended to be angry and threw the Nine Rings into the corner farthest from the door.

Yi Qiu went to pick it up, and he took the opportunity to rush towards the door.

Xiao Tianzi tried to stop him, but Xia Jing turned her head and pretended to be surprised: "Empress Rong!"

Rongpin is here?! Xiao Tianzi was shocked and turned around to look at the yard. It was empty. Not only Rongpin, there was not even a bird!

Xia Jing took the opportunity to run away from him.

Yi Qiu was the next to flee. Realizing she'd been tricked, Yi Qiu didn't hesitate, sprinting out of Jing Yi Xuan. There was a road outside Jing Yi Xuan, with two directions. The left road had no forks for a long stretch, while the right had one.

She couldn't see Xia Jing, so she concluded that the Ninth Prince had turned right and chased after him.

Xiao Tianzi stood at the door, stunned. It was the first time he had seen Yi Qiu running. He ran like a wild cat, much faster than him. At this speed, catching up with the Ninth Prince would be easy.

Xia Jing poked his head out from behind Xiao Tianzi, looked at Yi Qiu's back, nodded, and agreed with Xiao Tianzi's judgment.
