The villain prince is three and a half years old

The girl started crying again. Queen Mother You helped her wipe away her tears and waited quietly without urging her.

The girl sobbed for a while and held Queen Mother You's hand.

"I don't want to go." She choked.

Queen Mother You opened her mouth in surprise.

The palace maids thought that something had gone wrong with them, causing the Eighth Princess to misunderstand them. Yuhe was already thinking about how to apologize.

Ning Yuanzhong stepped forward and said that he was the first one to bring up the idea of ​​Ning Shuang'er going to the Mountain Resort, so he had to get to the bottom of it.

He asked in confusion, "Why? The princesses are all clamoring to go."

Ning Xuenian tilted her head, feeling that she had been tricked by Ning Yuanzhong, but what Ning Yuanzhong said made sense. The other princesses all wanted to go, so why didn't the eighth princess want to go?

Xia Jing blinked and thought of a possibility.

"The Summer Resort is not only cool, but also has many things not found in the harem." Empress Dowager You held the girl's hand. "Why don't you want to go?"

Ning Shuang'er lowered her head, not wanting Empress Dowager You to look at her face: "If the Empress Dowager doesn't want to go, I don't want to go either."

Sure enough, it's because of this.

Just as concubines who lack entertainment would hold on to something interesting when they encountered it, Ning Shuang'er, who had been neglected for many years in Linxi Palace, was moved to Cining Palace and received the care of Empress Dowager You, so naturally she was reluctant to let go.

The girl was not playful, and the Summer Resort had limited appeal to her, which was far less important than staying with Queen Mother You.

Put yourself in Ning Shuang'er's situation. She had just divorced her unreliable stepmother and got a reliable grandmother a few days ago. Now she has to be separated from her grandmother for a month. Of course, she would be worried and uneasy.

Xia Jing glanced at Ning Xuenian beside him. The girl held his hand a little tightly. Ning Shuang'er's words surprised her.

Empress Dowager You was stunned for a moment, and tried to persuade Ning Shuang'er softly, but the girl didn't listen at all and just kept shaking her head.

Her pitiful appearance made the palace maids cry.

Yuhe persuaded Queen Mother You, and Ning Yuanzhong no longer insisted and persuaded the Queen Mother to let Ning Shuang'er stay.

The Fifth Prince scratched his head, feeling somewhat ashamed. He had thought his sister wanted to go to the Mountain Resort, but he had actually done more harm than good.

Empress Dowager You sighed and agreed.

Xia Jing also thought about persuading Empress Dowager You to go to the Summer Resort together, but the journey was not short and not comfortable, and the old lady was old, so he decided to give up.

Empress Dowager You picked up Ning Shuang'er and went into the house to wash the girl's face.

Xia Jing took Ning Xuenian to the back garden to see the koi.

Ning Xuenian was absent-minded.

Returning to Yonghua Palace from Cining Palace, Ning Xuenian sat on the doorstep, holding a piece of watermelon, and after a long time, she was still a virgin.

She stared at her mother who was packing boxes for her and thought of Ning Shuang'er's words.

"Mother," she said, looking at Yunpin's back, "I'm not going to the Summer Resort. How about I stay here to accompany you?"

"Okay." Yunpin agreed quickly without even raising her head.

Ning Xuenian opened her eyes wide and puffed up her face: "Why don't you refuse?"

The Queen Mother has been persuading Sister Shuang'er for a long time!

Concubine Yun snorted disdainfully and poked her daughter's face: "If you want to go, don't say such polite words."

"I'm hesitating too. If you don't want to go, then don't go." Ning Xuenian kept her word. Although she was very reluctant, she was still willing to stay and accompany Yunpin.

"Okay, why do I need a little kid like you to accompany me? After you leave, your Madam Shu and I can have fun by ourselves." Concubine Yun continued to check the suitcase.

Chapter 210 The War between Honeysuckle and Yiqiu

"The Eighth Princess is a good child." After hearing the gossip from Yi Qiu, Xiao Yue sighed and put down the book in her hand.

The scroll was an album of embroidery patterns, which was found when the Cining Palace study was being cleaned up and brought back to the Ninth Prince.

"That's right. I heard that the Empress Dowager was angry that she wasted the Emperor's kindness, so she beat her severely with a ruler. She cried loudly and still refused to go." Yi Qiu added.

The Ninth Prince was folding paper on the Arhat bed and glanced at Yi Qiu.

If he hadn't been watching the whole thing, he might have believed this nonsense.

News spreads quickly in the harem, but truth and falsehood are mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish.

"I also heard that many concubines pulled their own princes and princesses by the ears and blamed them for being not as good as the Eighth Princess!" Yi Qiu said, looking at her little prince.

The Ninth Prince pretended not to hear and continued to fold the paper.

Yi Qiu is a person who loves to watch the fun and no matter how much trouble you take, if you pay attention to her, she will be even more proud.

Without Xia Jing's intervention, Xiao Yue glared at Yi Qiu with annoyance.

Concubine Shu said, "The Eighth Princess is young, and she has only spent a short time with the Queen Mother, so she is reluctant to leave her. If they were our own children, they would have grown tired of each other long ago. It is better for them to separate and live in peace."

Xiao Yue paused and revealed a secret: "Others don't know, but Concubine Xi and Concubine Niu have made an appointment with me and Sister Yun. After these little troublemakers leave, we will have some fun on our own."

"There's this other matter?" Yi Qiu's attention was quickly drawn to it. "Master, tell me more about how to be happy."

"I don't know yet." Xiao Yue replied, "Let's have afternoon tea together and ask the Empress Dowager for permission to go to the back garden."

Yi Qiu muttered, "None of this is as interesting as the Summer Resort."

Xiao Yue took a sip of tea and said seriously, "It's just right. We need to finalize the trip to the Summer Resort. Go and call Xiao Tianzi and Ren Dong."

Emperor Kangning set the number of accompanying personnel for each prince and princess, only two people, which was a well-considered decision.

The layout of the Summer Resort was very different from that of the harem. When the maids and eunuchs from the harem arrived at the Summer Resort, they were initially unsure of their place and unable to perform their duties. Therefore, they only brought two familiar people with them to take care of their daily needs. The remaining miscellaneous tasks were left to the maids and eunuchs who had originally worked at the Summer Resort.

Yi Qiu quickly brought Xiao Tianzi and Rendong back, and the three of them stood below.

"As you all know, there are only two people who can accompany the Ninth Prince to the Summer Resort." Xiao Yue's gaze moved across their faces and landed on Xiao Tianzi, "Xiao Tianzi."

"I'm here." Xiao Tianzi knelt on the ground.

"When we arrive at the Mountain Resort, you will be in charge of all matters concerning the Ninth Prince," Xiao Yue instructed. Eunuch Tian was already a reliable leader.

"Yes! Master, don't worry. I will never let you suffer any injustice!" Xiao Tianzi said happily.

Xiao Yue glanced at the boy beside her and said helplessly, "I'm not worried about that. Who else could possibly wrong him? I'm just worried that he'll get hurt playing around. When you get to the Summer Resort, remember to remind the Ninth Prince."

"I understand now." Xiao Tianzi suddenly realized.

"Go and pack up." Xiao Yue waved her hand to let Xiao Tianzi leave, then looked at Rendong and Yi Qiu.

The two palace maids, one big and one small, tensed up under Xiao Yue's gaze.

There are two places, one is given to Xiao Tianzi, and there is one left, and they have two people.

They all wanted to go to the Mountain Resort, firstly because of the Mountain Resort itself, and secondly because only by going to the Mountain Resort could they stay with the Ninth Prince.

The two looked at each other, their eyes sharp and undercurrents surging.

On one side are Jingyixuan's local talents, who are well versed in the procedures and intricacies, while on the other side are Shuiyundian's imported talents, who are highly skilled in boxing, kicking, swords and spears. Each has its own advantages.

At Xiao Yue's command, the two sides began to fight.

Yi Qiudao, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, how can the Ninth Prince leave me?

Honeysuckle Road, swords, spears, axes, take over the villa and become the king!

Leaning on the autumn, scolding a young child, can he tell the difference between east, west, south, and north? Honeysuckle spits on a dead tree, which crackles when the wind and rain come!

There was a lot of noise from both sides.

Xiao Yue felt even more headache: "Stop, stop, stop."

She had no other choice but to turn around and grab Xia Jing: "Whoever Jing points will go!"

"Young master!" Yi Qiu gritted his teeth.

"Master!" Honeysuckle clenched her sleeves.

The two looked at the Ninth Prince nervously.

Xia Jing calmly folded the origami in his hand. It turned out to be a paper hat.

He put the paper hat on Xiao Yue's head and turned to look at the two palace maids.

You don’t actually have to choose which one to take with you.

Yi Qiu and Xiao Yue are like sisters, while Rendong joined Jingyixuan halfway through, and her relationship with Xiao Yue is not as close as her relationship with the Ninth Prince.

Xia Jing looked at Yi Qiu.

Yi Qiu smiled, thinking that the Ninth Prince had chosen her, and glanced at Rendong proudly.

However, Xia Jing did not extend an invitation to the Summer Resort, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"Sister, why do you think the Eighth Princess stayed?" He looked into Yi Qiu's eyes.

Yi Qiu didn't understand the Ninth Prince's intention, so she answered the question first: "The Eighth Princess is reluctant to leave the Queen Mother. She went to the Summer Resort, and the Queen Mother will be alone..."

Yi Qiu suddenly stopped talking and understood what the Ninth Prince meant.

She knelt down facing Xiao Yue, her eyes red: "This servant will not go to the Summer Palace, I will stay to accompany the master!"

Hearing the sob in Yi Qiu's words, Xiao Yue gently pulled the boy's ear.

"It's settled now. You can go out now." Xiao Yue drove Xia Jing and Ren Dong away.

In the room, only she and Yi Qiu lying on the ground were left.

"Get up," Xiao Yue walked up to Yi Qiu and pulled her arm, "How old are you? How old is Ren Dong? Jing'er will definitely choose someone he can play with."

This is to comfort Yi Qiu.

Yi Qiu wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve: "I am not sad because the young master did not choose me. I am the master's servant. The young master has others to take care of him. It is my duty to stay. I just didn't think about it before because Luhua went to Yonghua Palace to accompany the Seventh Princess."

Xiao Yue listened and nodded: "The latter sentence doesn't sound like a lie, and the former sentence doesn't sound like the truth either."

Yi Qiu said nothing and lowered his head.

"Jing'er is the most vengeful person. You just teased him about the Eighth Princess, so of course he has to take revenge." Xiao Yue took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.

"I know, but Miss Honeysuckle is so young, how can I take good care of her..."

"Alright," Xiao Yue interrupted her, "You're a senior palace maid, how could you be hostile to a girl? Jing'er doesn't need anyone to take care of her. Besides, Rendong is a sensible and capable person."

Yi Qiu blushed when Xiao Yue revealed her feelings: "I understand."

……

The story of the eighth princess also reached the ears of Emperor Kangning.

Emperor Kangning asked Xu Zhongde to clean up Wangchun Garden and provide it for Empress Dowager You and the Eighth Princess to live in.

Wangchun Garden is where the Winter Plum Blossom Banquet is held in winter. After the incident with Concubine Lan, it has been closed, but the necessary care has not been neglected.

There wasn't much summer scenery in this garden, and it wasn't cool, but it was fresher than the harem I was used to living in. There was also a small building where I could go up and enjoy the breeze, and there was a stage downstairs where I could watch some plays.

Emperor Kangning ordered the Imperial Household Department to prepare more programs to entertain the Empress Dowager and the Eighth Princess.

He summoned Empress Yin and the Crown Prince again, and handed over the affairs of the harem to Empress Yin and the Queen Mother, and the affairs of the capital to the Crown Prince and the officials of the capital.

Everything has been arranged perfectly, and tomorrow is the day of departure. Emperor Kang Ning stayed up late to review the last batch of memorials.

Chapter 211 Mother's Special Skills

"Your Majesty, it's already very late, the dragon's health is more important." Xu Zhongde came to the side of Emperor Kangning and whispered.

Emperor Kangning did not fall asleep after reviewing the memorials, but was sitting on the Arhat bed drinking tea.

Emperor Kangning put down the tea bowl in his hand and sighed, "I have to leave the palace so suddenly, and I feel a little reluctant. I wonder if the Queen and the Crown Prince can do it without any problems."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and all the officials are watching us. Besides, we will be back in a month." Xu Zhongde advised.

"It doesn't look any hotter this year than in previous years, so it's okay not to go to the Mountain Resort." Emperor Kangning stretched out his arms and felt the temperature in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xu Zhongde was startled: "Your Majesty, the princes and princesses are already prepared."

Seeing the nervousness on his face, Emperor Kangning laughed: "That's all I said. I'm not sleepy yet. Come and talk to me. Come, sit here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat!" Xu Zhongde didn't dare to actually sit on the stool, he just rested half of his butt on the edge.

"Tell me, what fun things are there in the Mountain Resort? Why are those princesses so eager to go there?" Emperor Kangning asked in confusion.

Xu Zhongde said in embarrassment, "The Summer Resort is just a little cooler. There's really nothing much to do there. I'm afraid the princes and princesses will be disappointed if they go there."
