Xiao Yue and Yi Qiu looked at each other, both incredulous. How was the Seventh Princess? According to rumors, she had used that slingshot to shoot countless palace maids and eunuchs, even princes and princesses couldn't escape!

Xia Jing saw their surprise and sighed inwardly. Concubine Yun's high status had attracted a lot of jealousy, and the Seventh Princess's awkward personality had become a breakthrough point for those jealous people.

"Yi Qiu, go to the Imperial Hospital." Xiao Yue suddenly said.

"Yes." Yi Qiu did not hesitate and walked straight out of Jingyixuan.

I just said hello to the Seventh Princess, and you suspect there's something wrong with my head? Xia Jing looked at his mother in shock.

Xiao Yue was just worried about whether the stone that 'brushed' Xia Jing's head had hurt him.

Yiqiu went to the Imperial Hospital and wanted to ask for Wen Daosheng. Because the matter was not urgent, she did not rush in like Xiao Tianzi did, and asked the eunuchs of the Imperial Hospital to pass on the message.

The eunuch came back and told Yi Qiu that Imperial Physician Wen was busy making medicine and asked her to find another one.

Yi Qiu did not insist and took another imperial physician away.

"Master Wen just refused like that?" In the Imperial Hospital, colleagues teased Wen Daosheng, "Aren't you afraid that Concubine Xiao will hold a grudge against you?"

Wen Daosheng took a sip of tea and said, "Why should I be afraid of her? I thought Xiao Zhaoyi was favored, but now I know I was fooled. They and their son have offended Concubine Rong. I dare not get involved with them."

"This is the Lord Wen we know!" Colleagues laughed happily.

Wen Daosheng smiled faintly and also exposed the shortcomings of his colleagues, making the room very lively.

"Lord Wen!" The eunuch who had left earlier ran back and broke the atmosphere.

"Is it Jingyixuan?" Wen Daosheng frowned.

"Yes." The eunuch replied.

"It's incurable. Go!" Wen Daosheng waved his hand.

"Yes." The eunuch turned around.

The imperial doctors continued to have fun, and the door was pushed open again. Wen Daosheng looked over with dissatisfaction, but saw the eunuch bending over and leading a palace maid in.

"Doctor Wen has a bad temper. Even Concubine Yun can't invite you to come?" The palace maid said with a cold face.

The room suddenly became cold and silent. Wen Daosheng hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "I wonder if it was Concubine Yun calling me. That dog slave just mentioned Jingyixuan!"

"It's Jingyixuan," the maid replied. "Empress Yun asked Imperial Physician Wen to examine the Ninth Prince."

"Ah?" Wen Daosheng opened his mouth wide.

……

Outside Jingyixuan, Yi Qiu, who had been transferred, was leading the assigned imperial physician and was about to step into the courtyard when Wen Daosheng came running over, panting.

Yi Qiu was surprised: "Why is Lord Wen here?"

Wen Daosheng took two breaths, slapped his thigh, and said angrily, "It's all that servant's fault. Seeing that I was making medicine, he refused without asking any questions. I just found out that Xiao Zhaoyi summoned me, and here I am running!"

He knew Yi Qiu wouldn't be fooled by these words. After being in the harem for so long, even a piece of wood would know the feeling of fawning on the powerful.

He drove away the imperial physician, took out a bag of silver, and stuffed it into Yiqiu's pocket: "I hope Miss Yiqiu will bear with me."

Yi Qiu confiscated the silver and asked, "Master Wen is a highly skilled doctor. His presence here is a tribute to Jingyixuan. But Master Wen must tell me what happened?"

Wen Daosheng smiled and said, "As soon as Miss Yiqiu left, Concubine Yun sent a palace maid over."

It was Concubine Yun!

Yi Qiu was both happy and worried. It was great to have Concubine Yun's support, but the Seventh Princess was too naughty, and her young master might suffer.

She suppressed her emotions and led Wen Daosheng into Jingyixuan.

Wen Daosheng carefully examined Xia Jing's body and confirmed that he was not injured. The ruler wound on his hand was also healed. He left a prescription for tranquilizer and said goodbye.

Yi Qiu told Xiao Yue about Concubine Yun, and both the master and servant became worried.

"Empress Yun likes me, so why is mother worried?" Xia Jing asked.

It took him several days to find this backer. Thinking about An An and Xiao Yue's heart, he asked Xiao Yue not to set up access control for him. Why was there some deviation in the result?

"Then the Seventh Princess..." Xiao Yue hesitated to speak.

Xia Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xiao Yue felt that he had escaped from the wolf's den and fallen into the tiger's mouth!

……

In Yonghua Palace, Concubine Yun was also a little worried.

"You really don't want to bully the Ninth Prince?" She looked at her daughter suspiciously. "The Ninth Prince is only three years old. You can't scare him with a slingshot!"

"Mom, I'm not that kind of person!" Ning Xuenian opened her eyes wide.

"What's wrong with you?" Yunpin raised her hands and counted carefully, "Ninth Princess, Eighth Princess, Fifth Princess, Eighth Prince, Seventh Prince, Sixth Prince, who hasn't been beaten to tears by you?"

Ning Xuenian lowered her head guiltily, then raised it again after a moment, her eyes serious: "That's because they hate me!"

"Why doesn't the Ninth Prince hate it?"

"Ninth brother is so nice, he..." Ning Xuenian wanted to find words to praise Xia Jing, but she couldn't organize the words for a moment.

She just felt that Xia Jing was a friend and spoke nicely, and she liked being with Xia Jing.

"He's good-looking." This was the only thing Ning Xue Nian could come up with.

Yunpin was amused and tapped her daughter's nose: "My Xue Nian already knows how to pick out good-looking ones."

Ning Xuenian heard the teasing in these words, pouted in dissatisfaction, and slapped Yunpin's fingers away.

She looked into Yunpin's eyes and said, "When mother sees him, she will definitely like him too!"

"How is that possible?" Yunpin said disdainfully, "Only a little girl like you would fall in love with someone just after meeting them once."

"Then Mother will definitely like him after meeting him a few times!"

"It's impossible to meet a few times!"

"Go and see her now." Ning Xuenian pulled Yunpin's hand.

Yunpin held her in her arms and tickled her. Ning Xuenian struggled for a while and used her headbutt.

The mother and daughter played for a while, then felt tired, hummed to each other, and fell asleep on the bed, back to back.

The palace maid watched, covering her mouth with her hands and laughing softly. Concubine Yun and the Seventh Princess looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Sister Yunpin kept her eyes open and waited until her daughter fell asleep. Then she turned her head and stroked her hair lovingly.

"Your Majesty, the princess really likes the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince is indeed different from other princesses and princes." The palace maid said in a low voice.

"What's the difference?" Yunpin sighed, "Xue Nian has been spoiled by me. What prince or princess would want to be with her? The Ninth Prince just thinks the slingshot is new. When the newness wears off, he won't come again!"

"This..." The maid hesitated, "Even without the slingshot, the princess still has delicious cakes and many other little gadgets."

"How can this relationship, which was bought with gifts, count?" Yunpin frowned.

The palace maid bit her lip and stopped talking.

Yunpin leaned over, kissed her daughter's face, and carefully got out of bed.

After she left, Ning Xuenian opened her eyes, without blinking, and looked ahead blankly.

Chapter 19 The Seventh Princess Cries

Xia Jing woke up in the morning and began a busy day. He first had breakfast at Jingyixuan, spent some time with Xiao Yue to gain blessings, then went to the laundry bureau for some snacks, and finally came to Yonghua Palace to play slingshot with Ning Xuenian.

Unlike Huijing, who only needs to be maintained, Ning Xuenian's emotional work is still underway. Ning Xuenian is not a destination, but a bridge.

Her mother, Concubine Yun, will be Empress Yun in the future; her husband, Duke An'guo, is already a great general; her uncle is just a small general now, but will be the leader of the nobles in the future.

Whether inside or outside the palace, Yunpin and her daughter are very useful.

Xia Jing tried his best, and every nice word came out of his mouth.

"Sister can hit such a far target with one shot. She is truly a genius!" This is Ning Xue Nian hitting the target.

"Sister is kind-hearted. She couldn't bear to see the sparrow and its child separated forever, so she spared its life." This was because Ning Xuenian failed to hit the sparrow.

"Sister, this tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west is really ingenious." Ning Xuenian missed the target.

He spoke seriously and his expression was sincere, and the palace maids and eunuchs in Yonghua Palace were all confused.

The eunuchs and palace maids had previously thought that the Seventh Princess was good at playing the slingshot, but after hearing the Ninth Prince play, they suddenly felt that the Seventh Princess had extraordinary talent, and the way they looked at the Seventh Princess was different.

They already liked the Seventh Princess, so they followed suit in praising her. They were amazed when the Seventh Princess hit the target, and comforted her when she missed.

The entire Yonghua Palace became a big stage. Ning Xuenian was on the stage, the eunuchs and palace maids were the audience, cheering for Ning Xuenian, and Xia Jing was the supporting role, using her deliberately slow learning progress to highlight her strength.

As the absolute center, Ning Xuenian was unhappy.

Xia Jing felt strange and checked her panel.

[Name: Ning Xuenian]

【Age: 6】

[Identity: The Seventh Princess of the Ning Dynasty]

[Intimacy: 69 (-33)]

Sure enough there is a problem.

69-33, only 36 left, which has reached the slightly hostile range.

Xia Jing pondered what had happened. The number outside the brackets was the base level of intimacy; 69 was the result of his efforts yesterday. The number inside the brackets was the temporary emotion, indicating that Ning Xuenian was getting stuck in a rut.

To make an analogy, Ning Xuenian is now equivalent to a grumpy girlfriend.

The question is, what is she upset about?

Xia Jing stared at the number in the brackets. The number was still fluctuating, at least -5, at most -40. He paid attention to the timing of the change, tried many times, and finally understood it.

When he talked about the slingshot, the numbers changed dramatically and the girl's expression became a little complicated. That was the problem.

It must be someone who likes to gossip and stir up trouble, saying that he and Ning Xuenian were just playing with the slingshot. The girl began to doubt herself and her emotions fluctuated.

She was afraid that Xia Jing would get tired of playing with the slingshot and stop paying attention to her. She took this fear as a fact, thinking that Xia Jing's current closeness to her was fake, because of the slingshot rather than her, and then felt that Xia Jing had betrayed her feelings, so the intimacy between them temporarily dropped significantly.

In short, there is no sense of security.

Xia Jing sighed, whether in ancient times or modern times, whether girls or women, all have the same set of emotions.

Fortunately, he is experienced.

As a good man, you should be gentle and soothing at this time, do more activities other than slingshot, express your love for the girl and how important the girl is to you, and dispel Ning Xuenian's concerns.

But Xia Jing had never been a good man. This method would take too long, delaying him from doing other things, and would easily encourage Ning Xuenian's arrogance, putting him at a disadvantage in this relationship.

Ning Xuenian is a Pokémon and he is a trainer. It should be the trainer who controls the Pokémon, how can it be the other way around?

The more Ning Xuenian worried about this, the more he pushed in that direction. Dealing with emotions is like dealing with a flood; it's better to drain than to block it. However, directly breaking it down and then rebuilding it, changing the riverbed, is also a good method.

"With my sister teaching me, I will definitely learn quickly."

"When I learn it, I'll go to the grassland and shoot eagles!"

Xia Jing kept talking about where he'd go after he finished his studies, about taking his slingshot everywhere, but he never mentioned her. These words were like pieces of firewood, fueling Ning Xuenian's uneasiness.

She finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she threw the slingshot down and stomped on it twice.

Everyone was stunned. The palace maids and eunuchs stared at him blankly. Xia Jing also widened his eyes and pretended to be innocent.

"Slingshot, slingshot, slingshot, you're just thinking about the slingshot!" Ning Xuenian glared at Xia Jing.

"Because my sister is very good at slingshot." Xia Jing pretended to be panicked and said timidly.

The moment she said that, Ning Xuenian regretted it. She shouldn't have lost her temper with Xia Jing. Wouldn't that reveal her arrogant personality and make Xia Jing dislike her even more?

She thought again, her mother was right, she was that kind of person, no one had ever been willing to play with her!

In the end, she was angry because Xia Jing was still talking about the slingshot at this time.

"I don't want to play with you anymore!" Ning Xue Nian ran into the house.

"Princess!" The palace maids hurriedly chased after her.

The head aunt in Yonghua Palace is named Luhua. She is very thoughtful and knows that the person who should be comforted at this moment is not only her own princess, but also the ninth prince in the courtyard.

The scene just now was so frightening that not only the Ninth Prince but also she herself was frightened!

After handing the princess over to another palace maid, she hurried out the door and suddenly stopped.

In the middle of the yard, the Ninth Prince stood there woodenly, his eyes full of panic.
