The villain prince is three and a half years old

When brothers and sisters from different courtyards met, they were surprised to find that each other had it too.

"Young master, there is something interesting." Xiao Tianzi came back from outside after getting the news, looking mysterious.

"What's interesting?" Xia Jing asked.

Xiao Tianzi said, "It is said that the Seventh and Eighth Princes only have one glass doll. It was found by the Seventh Prince's servants, so it belongs to the Seventh Prince. The Eighth Prince was very angry, thinking that someone had taken his things. He grabbed the servants in the courtyard and beat them, demanding that they hand over the glass toy, and he made a lot of noise."

This had nothing to do with the Ninth Prince. Although he held a grudge, he was very well-organized. He placed two glass dolls in each courtyard.

Xia Jing guessed that Ning Gaoxiang hid one and was unwilling to give it to Ning Chengrui.

He sighed. If these two people got together, they would start fighting among themselves without him having to do anything.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a commotion at the gate of the courtyard. A palace maid ran past, and Ning Chengrui chased after her.

The scene of the evil prince threatening the palace maid flashed through Xia Jing's mind. However, Ning Chengrui chased the palace maid just to use his fists to force her to tell him the whereabouts of the toy.

Chapter 216 The Prince Strikes Again

Outside the Nanmu Palace, Madam Mao walked in and asked Xu Zhongde, who was guarding the door, "Is the emperor awake?"

"He woke up once at 11:00 AM, then lay down again. He hasn't woken up yet." Xu Zhongde replied, "What's the matter, Madam?"

Nanny Mao took out two glass dolls, one was a carp and the other was a carriage.

The glass dolls are not very exquisite. The carp has no scales and the carriage has no patterns. They only have basic shapes. They are considered inferior among wood carvings, but among glass products, they are already incredible treasures!

The two treasures, as thick as thumbs, lay in Mammy Mao's hands.

"Where did you get this treasure, Madam?" Xu Zhongde was surprised.

Madam Mao stared into Xu Zhongde's eyes and asked, "Is the eunuch making fun of me?"

The glass was produced in the palace, so these little dolls must be related to the palace. Eunuch Xu was the one in charge of palace affairs, so if he said he didn't know, Nanny Mao wouldn't believe him.

Xu Zhongde was speechless, having forgotten that Madam Mao was a serious person.

"I just found out about it too. It was probably a prank by a prince or princess." Xu Zhongde replied.

"How can such a precious thing be placed casually?" Nanny Mao was about to say something else when she heard a noise in the room.

The two men hurried into the house and helped Emperor Kangning to get up.

After washing up, Emperor Kangning walked to the outer room and sat on the armchair.

Xu Zhongde brought hot tea, and Emperor Kangning picked it up and asked Madam Mao, "What were you talking about just now?"

Mammy Mao handed over two glass dolls: "These were found by the eunuchs on the road. I heard that every prince and princess has one in front of their courtyard."

Emperor Kang Ning took it, played with it in his hands, and said in surprise: "It's quite exquisite."

"Eunuch Xu said that this was put there by a young prince. We must find out quickly and take it back. If some eunuchs or palace maids find it, they will definitely keep it for themselves!" Nanny Mao said anxiously.

Emperor Kangning didn't answer. The moment he saw this thing, he guessed who was responsible. Who else could it be but the most mischievous Ninth Prince in history?

The question is, why did the kid do that?

Emperor Kangning placed the glass carriage on the table, threw the glass koi into the tea bowl, and laughed.

Xu Zhongde hurriedly brought a bowl of new tea.

Emperor Kangning turned and asked Nanny Mao, "How were the princes and princesses last night?"

"Everything is peaceful." replied Mammy Mao.

Emperor Kangning shook his head and asked Xu Zhongde, "What about you?"

"Several princesses were quietly wiping away tears, and the princes were not in a good mood either," Xu Zhongde replied.

Nanny Mao was surprised that none of her maids or eunuchs had mentioned this matter. This was understandable; the princes and princesses naturally trusted the servants they brought with them.

"What happened after you discovered this glass doll this morning?" Emperor Kang Ning asked again.

"They are all very happy." Xu Zhongde continued, "However, the princes and princesses don't know yet that the dolls are hidden somewhere other than the courtyard gate."

The Mountain Resort is not the palace, so the intelligence network of the princes and princesses is greatly weakened, and the time it takes to get news is greatly delayed.

Emperor Kangning stroked his beard and said, "Interesting! This is turning the Summer Resort into a treasure mountain!"

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Let's go and look for it. Once those kids find out, it will be difficult to find it."

Xu Zhongde happily followed behind Emperor Kangning. Nanny Mao was confused and didn't understand the situation, but seeing that Emperor Kangning had made a decision, she stopped talking.

The three of them walked towards the front yard, heading for the front study, where the ministers worked. On the way, Emperor Kangning looked around, searching for the glass doll.

"Your Majesty, look over there!"

Xu Zhongde had sharp eyes and pointed out the hiding places of the glass dolls one by one.

When Mammy Mao was about to pick them up, Emperor Kangning stopped her and took matters into his own hands, picking them up and playing with them. When he arrived at the front study, he had more than ten glass dolls in his hands and was in a good mood.

The treasure hunt game that the Ninth Prince prepared for the princes and princesses was played by Emperor Kangning first!

After showing off the glass dolls to the ministers and distributing them among them, Emperor Kangning asked about government affairs, which was like a miniature morning court session.

After asking about government affairs, he asked about the princes and princesses.

It was almost noon, and the princes and princesses gathered in the East and West Schools to study.

Xu Zhongde replied, "The novelty of the glass doll has worn off. I just went to check on the princess and saw she was in tears. The prince wasn't crying, but Master Qi said the atmosphere wasn't very good."

"Where are the toys I asked you to prepare?" Emperor Kangning frowned.

"Only the glass beads are of some use. Princess Zhu'er was playing in school and was hit with a ruler. She started crying, and all the princesses started crying too." Xu Zhongde replied.

Emperor Kang Ning sighed, his preparations were actually useless.

He said to Xu Zhongde, "Tell them there are glass dolls hidden on the road as well."

……

During lunch break, the princes and princesses received the news and immediately took action.

Ning Chengrui no longer bothered to interrogate the servant and ran around the Summer Resort.

Xia Jing has placed over a hundred glass dolls. As long as you look carefully, you'll find one after walking a certain distance, which stimulates the player's nerves at a high frequency. And no matter how remote the road, you won't find a missing one, ensuring the player's desire for exploration.

There is only one road where no princes or princesses can find the glass doll, and that is the road from the Nanmu Palace to the front study.

Before Emperor Kangning woke up, Eunuch Xu asked his eunuchs to carefully search the road and mark the locations of all the glass dolls. When Emperor Kangning walked on the road, Eunuch Xu pretended to discover them and pointed them out to Emperor Kangning, and they were all caught in one fell swoop.

Xia Jing, Ning Xuenian and Ning Sisi were also searching on the road.

The only one who was really looking for her was Ning Sisi. Ning Xuenian gave her reminders from time to time, and Ning Sisi gained a lot.

With Ning Xuenian's guidance again, Ning Sisi turned over a stone and found the glass sword in the pit. She looked at Ning Xuenian with admiration: "Sister Nian'er is so amazing, she can even find this!"

Ning Xuenian raised her head and said, "Where is the glass doll? I can find it with just a glance!"

Xia Jing thought, it was you who asked the question, how could you not know it?

He was not in the mood, so he stayed with the two girls for a while and then went back to school.

When they arrived at the Summer Resort, the princes could not escape the order to attend classes. The princesses were originally taught by the concubines themselves, but when they arrived at the resort, they also had their own schools like the princes. The teacher in the school was a middle-aged female official who taught some simple articles.

When class time came, only Xia Jing and Ning Yuanzhong were in the Prince's School; the other princes were nowhere to be seen.

Qi Ruhai was scratching his head anxiously, thinking that the princes must have started a strike again!

"What should I do? What should I do?" The old man turned around twice, stopped in front of Xia Jing, and bent his knees. "General, please teach me!"

Xia Jing hurriedly pressed down his knees to stop him from kneeling.

He comforted the old man: "Master Qi, don't panic. It's not that the royal brothers don't want to come, but that they can't come!"

The roads in the Summer Palace were winding, and new palace maids and eunuchs often got lost, and the princes and princesses were no exception.

Both classrooms are empty!

The news soon reached Emperor Kangning. He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and immediately asked Nanny Mao to arrange someone to look for her.

Xia Jing thought that the princes and princesses were looking for treasure in the villa, and the eunuchs and palace maids were also looking for them in the villa.

It was not until the next evening that the palace maids found the last prince.

Emperor Kangning ordered that the princes and princesses must be accompanied by a servant from the summer resort in addition to the servants they brought with them. This solved the problem of getting lost.

Chapter 217 Praise Meow Meow

After dinner, there was still some time before dark. Emperor Kangning was worried that the princes and princesses would run around, so he specially sent eunuchs and palace maids to guard the gates of each courtyard.

The princes and princesses were not allowed to go out, but they could still play with glass dolls with their brothers or sisters in the same courtyard.

They gathered in pairs and arranged the glass dolls they had found during the day to admire. If the other person had one they liked, they would exchange it with their own glass doll or something else.

They also exchanged information, told each other which places they had searched, and discussed where would be the best place to look tomorrow.

Their longing for their mother was diluted by the treasure hunt. When they talked about their mother, they no longer shared their sorrows as before, but instead planned which glass doll to give to her and how to show it off to her.

The next morning, just as the distant sky began to glow with a faint blue light, the princes and princesses were already washing up in their rooms. No one was slacking off in bed—except the ninth prince.

They hurriedly finished their breakfast and, while there was still some time before class, took their attendants and went outside to continue their treasure hunt.

This search surprised them greatly.

Ning Peixiang and Ning Yitao squatted in a corner, looking at the glass buns on the ground and looking at each other.

"We clearly searched this place yesterday!" Ning Yitao frowned.

"Now there is one more!" Ning Peixiang tilted her head.

"It turns out that this glass doll can appear by itself!" The two sisters jumped up, feeling that they had discovered the truth.

They all put their hands together, closed their eyes and prayed: "Praise the glass."

"Meow meow meow meow!" General Coal cursed and walked over the wall.

Instead of praising glass, you should praise General Coal!

How could a glass doll appear by itself? These new dolls were all placed there by meow!

Last night, Ning Xuenian wanted to go out to play, but Emperor Kang Ning assigned two gatekeepers to each courtyard. The gatekeepers watched closely and the girl couldn't find a chance to sneak out. The Ninth Prince was too lazy to go out alone, so he outsourced the job to General Coal.

Unfortunately, no one knew of Meow’s achievements, and some fools even thought that Glass had come here on his own.

General Mei became more and more angry as he thought about it. He turned around, walked back, raised his front paws, and gave each of the Taoxiang sisters a meow punch on the head.

"Ouch." Ning Yitao held her head.

"Ah." Ning Peixiang covered her forehead.

They were not angry, but rather a little surprised. Usually, General Coal was very cold and wouldn't even approach them, but today he actually hit them!

Ning Peixiang picked up General Coal, and Ning Yitao fed it with the cakes in her sleeves.

General Coal had just inquired about the distribution of bird nests in the villa and was walking home. Before he had breakfast, he accepted the offerings from the two sisters and was very satisfied.

As a great general, if he is satisfied, he will naturally give some rewards.

After General Coal finished eating, he jumped out of Ning Peixiang's arms, walked in front of the two sisters, and waved his paw for them to follow.

In fact, it doesn't need to beckon, Taoxiang and her sister will follow it spontaneously.

After leading the two men for more than ten steps, General Coal stopped and pointed to a small tree beside him.

The two sisters looked in the direction of General Coal's claws, and saw a glass goose vaguely visible between the gaps in the leaves.

"It's a doll!"

“It’s actually on the tree!”

The tree was not tall, and the two sisters took down the glass doll and were very surprised.

They put their hands together and said, "Praise the glass."

"Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow!" General Coal cursed even more fiercely than before.

It gave the two sisters two punches, pointed at the glass goose, then pointed at itself, stood on its hind paws, put its front paws together, and meowed in demonstration.

Sister Taoxiang suddenly realized, closed her hands again, and said to General Mei: "Praise meow meow."

General Coal nodded with satisfaction, then led them to a new spot and pointed to the branches standing on the soil.

The two sisters dug up the soil and found a small glass fan, exclaiming in amazement.
