The villain prince is three and a half years old

I haven't played with it in a long time, and I'm a bit addicted.

Ning Shouxu sighed, "Promise me that no one can teach my ninth brother the Five Animal Exercises."

"What is this?" Concubine Xian asked in confusion.

Ning Shouxu told her about the bet, and Concubine Xian turned to look at Xia Jing: "Jing'er, why do you want this?"

"Fourth brother said that if there's no one here with third brother, he'll ask the eldest princess to teach me!" Xia Jing's face was full of longing. "I haven't met the eldest sister yet."

Ning Shouxu was a little annoyed, but after hearing what Xia Jing said, he burst out laughing.

Concubine Xian glanced at him sideways, then looked at Xia Jing with embarrassment: "How about you stop bothering your elder sister? Can I find another princess to teach you?"

"What's wrong, big sister?" Xia Jing pretended to be confused.

"It's nothing, she just doesn't like children. The younger princes and princesses all cry when they are around her." Empress Xian said very tactfully.

"The eldest sister has followed the Queen Mother since she was young..."

Ning Shouxu had just started talking when Empress Xian glared at him fiercely and said, "How could you plot to be the Empress Dowager?"

He quickly changed his tone, "The eldest princess is very strict. If you slack off even a little, you'll be scolded."

"Don't even mention you princes and princesses. Even I wouldn't dare get close to her." Concubine Xian advised again, hoping Xia Jing would give up.

"Besides, the eldest princess is considering getting married, and she must be very upset. If you go there, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog." Ning Shouxu said jokingly.

They all advised Xia Jing not to look for the eldest princess.

But what they said was exactly why Xia Jing wanted to find the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was raised by the Queen Mother, and with her help, she could have contact with the Queen Mother.

The eldest princess is a solemn and dignified person, capable of great things. In the game, she has four or five future paths, all of which lead to her becoming the ruler of a region. The difference between these paths is related to where she marries.

In one of the stories, she married into the Xiongnu tribe and when Xiao Yue proclaimed herself emperor, she formed alliances and used her husband's family's status to pull together a group of Xiongnu tribes to attack Daning.

The one fighting against her was Xiao Yue's brother, Xia Jing's uncle.

She couldn't get in, and the Ning Dynasty couldn't get out. As the fighting went on, the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes died one after another. The Xiongnu cavalry without their leaders fell into the hands of the eldest princess.

After two years of fighting, a ceasefire was reached. Xia Jing's uncle became a duke, and Xiao Yue, with his help, secured military power in Daning. The eldest princess became the leader of the Southern Xiongnu, gathering a number of tribes under her control. Neither side suffered a loss; both profited greatly.

On the game forum, many players discussed that the eldest princess's attack on Xiao Yue was fake, and her real intention was to take the opportunity to seize power in the Xiongnu tribe.

How could Xia Jing miss such a talented person who could command the army?

Moreover, the eldest princess was not in charge of the Ning Dynasty's troops, but the Xiongnu troops and the Green Tent Khanate's troops.

She was working on the incremental growth, not the existing stock. No matter how turbulent the Ning Dynasty was, it would not affect her.

She is a surprise weapon, an absolute trump card.

"After hearing what Third Brother and the Queen said, I'm even more curious." Xia Jing jumped off the chair, "I still have to go and take a look."

"It's okay to just go and take a look. After all, she is your elder sister and is about to marry far away." Empress Xian sighed and thought of her family.

"Go ahead." Ning Shouxu picked up the puzzle, "Just don't come back crying."

Please vote for the monthly recommendation! I am rushing down the list and will be off the new book list in a few days. It is expected to be on the shelves on the first day. Thank you for your support!

Chapter 56 Ning Wanjun (Two in One)

After coming out of Yanghexuan, Xia Jing immediately ran to Guanlanzhai to report to Ning Zhixing.

Ning Zhixing didn't mind introducing the eldest princess, but wondered why Ning Shouxu didn't help, so he went to Yanghexuan.

Ning Shouxu told him that it was Xia Jing who wanted to get to know the eldest princess.

Ning Zhixing burst out laughing, and felt that Xia Jing was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

"Has your sister decided where to go?" Ning Shouxu moved his waist. The puzzle box was pressing under his butt, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"I met her last month. She hadn't made a decision yet and said she wanted to ask the Queen Mother for her opinion," Ning Zhixing replied.

The eldest princess is Ning Zhixing's sister, but the two have never lived together.

When the eldest princess turned one, she was sent to the Empress Dowager's residence to be raised by her. This was a "gift" sent by the newly crowned Emperor Kangning to strengthen his relationship with the Empress Dowager.

Ning Zhixing was also a little worried about his sister's marriage: "After the Winter Plum Blossom Banquet, it's time to choose. I don't know how it will turn out."

"Let's not talk about this," Ning Shouxu asked him with malicious intent, "I have a question. If you can answer it, you can choose anything in my room. If you can't, I can lend you your Mohist book for a month. How about that?"

Ning Zhixing raised an eyebrow: "My Royal Highness, please give me a question."

Thinking about what he was going to ask next, Ning Shouxu couldn't suppress his smile.

He coughed and tried to keep a straight face: "What's your earliest surname?"

……

Xia Jing was in Guanlanzhai, visiting Ning Zhixing's warehouse. Ning Zhixing hadn't agreed to his request yet, so he waited for a reply.

As the sun set in the west, Ning Zhixing's shadow was cast on the stone slabs in the courtyard.

Xia Jing looked up and found that his fourth brother had a dark face and looked depressed and angry.

What happened? Ning Shouxu broke his promise and betrayed me? Even if that was the case, I shouldn't be angry.

"I'll take you to see the eldest princess tomorrow." Ning Zhixing said to Xia Jing.

Xia Jing breathed a sigh of relief, the anger was not directed at him.

"Why are you unhappy, Fourth Brother?" he asked caringly.

Thinking back to what happened at Yanghexuan, Ning Zhixing's face darkened even further. Borrowing books for a month wasn't a big deal, but losing in this—this kind of childish quiz—made him very depressed.

He was silent for a moment, then looked at Xia Jing. "I'm going to ask you a question. If you can answer it, you can choose anything from my library. If you can't, you're not allowed to go to Yanghexuan for three days."

Xia Jing blinked, as if he understood why Ning Zhixing was depressed.

He nodded obediently: "Okay, Fourth Brother will ask the questions."

Ning Zhixing smiled. It was uncomfortable to be cheated, but cheating others with the same method could greatly relieve his depression and even give him pleasure.

He asked Xia Jing with a smile: "What is the earliest surname?"

"Benshan." Xia Jing answered quickly.

Ning Zhixing took a step back, looking at Xia Jing with eyes full of disbelief and the anguish of being betrayed. How could you possibly answer that?

"It turns out that Third Brother has already teased you." He sighed.

Xia Jing scratched his head: "Hehe, I asked my third brother."

It turns out you are the culprit!

"I want that dressing box. Fourth brother, please pack it for me and I will give it to my elder sister tomorrow." Xia Jing said goodbye to Ning Zhixing and ran out of the yard.

That's a dressing box I spent several months designing and half a month making! Ning Zhixing sighed, holding his forehead.

Fortunately, it was given to my own sister.

He drank a sip of tea, drowning his boredom, and continued working on the wheelchair. Much of the wheelchair's design still needed to be verified, and a rough estimate suggested it would take at least two weeks, and at most one or two months, to complete.

……

The eldest princess' name was Ning Wanjun. The meeting with Ning Wanjun was unusually dull. Ning Zhixing brought Xia Jing and presented her with a dressing box. Ning Wanjun accepted it, saying she would be free someday and asked Xia Jing to come over then, ending the conversation.

Xia Jing thought that Ning Wanjun and Ning Zhixing were indeed siblings, both of them were calm people.

When I returned from Ning Wanjun's place, I happened to meet Empress Xian visiting Jingyixuan.

Concubine Xian told Xiao Yue that Emperor Kangning asked the Empress to discuss her promotion to a concubine, and the Empress deliberately summoned the four concubines to discuss it.

In Kunning Palace, only Concubine Xian supported him. The other three concubines, Concubine Duan and Concubine Rou, did not say anything. Concubine Jing said that the ninth prince should be crowned later on the grounds that he was only three years old.

In the ancient harem, the mortality rate of princes and princesses was very high. According to the rules of the Ning Dynasty, princes and princesses would only be recorded in the book when they grew up healthily to the age of five. What Concubine Jing said was not unreasonable.

However, Concubine Jing was a fence-sitter; her words could mean anyone but herself. Xia Jing suspected that the Empress had sounded out Concubine Duan and Concubine Rou's opinions and instructed Concubine Jing to speak.

Concubine Duan's good sister, Concubine Yun, is good friends with Xiao Yue, and Concubine Rou's child is Xiao Yue's flesh and blood, so neither of them can express their opposition openly.

"If they still don't give an explanation by the Winter Plum Blossom Banquet, I will ask the Emperor on my sister's behalf!" Empress Xian said anxiously.

She is qualified, and she believes that Emperor Kangning will give her this face.

Although Emperor Kangning was ruthless, Daning ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety. Ning Shouxu saved his father as a son and saved the emperor as a minister. He was both loyal and filial. At the top of the moral pyramid, he was a good man and a moral role model of Daning. For the sake of people's hearts, Emperor Kangning had to favor him and his mother, Concubine Xian.

"With my sister taking care of me, what difference does it make whether I'm a concubine or a Zhaoyi? If the emperor wants to slow down, he must have his reasons. Don't be impulsive." Xiao Yue held Empress Xian's hand and advised her.

"There are countless people in this palace, like flies, who will make a lot of noise when they smell something fishy. My sister has remained virtuous and pure, and I just hate those guys for being so hateful." Empress Xian sighed.

Xiao Yue also hoped to be promoted as soon as possible, but she felt that it was impossible and there was no need to waste favors.

After Concubine Xian left, Concubine Yun came to visit.

Yunpin knew that Concubine Duan was silent, so she came to comfort Xiao Yue and said that she would definitely persuade Concubine Duan.

Xiao Yue asked Huijing about this again.

Huijing told her to do her best, but not to fight against Emperor Kangning, but to win over Concubine Duan and Concubine Rou. She had a history with Concubine Duan and would intercede on Xiao Yue's behalf. As long as Concubine Rou was dealt with, things would be fine.

Xiao Yue had no way to contact Concubine Rou. After Ning Shouxu's birthday party, the Yihe Palace became particularly cold.

She had already planned to give up and wait for more than a year until Xia Jing was five years old, when she would definitely be promoted to a concubine.

Concubine Xian tried again but to no avail. She came to Jingyixuan and lamented that the Xiao family had no help for Xiao Yue. If the Xiao family had supported her a little, this concubine would have been in trouble.

Xiao Yue changed the subject.

At night, Xia Jing lay in Xiao Yue's arms and asked, borrowing Concubine Xian's words, "Mother, I haven't seen my grandparents yet. What do they look like?"

Xiao Yue smiled and told Xia Jing about her childhood.

"I have an uncle?" Xia Jing pretended to be surprised.

"Yes, your uncle..." Xiao Yue talked a lot about her brother.

Having laid the groundwork here, Xia Jing stated his purpose: "I want to see my uncle!"

"Your uncle is far away from the capital, and he can't enter the palace." Xiao Yue missed her family very much, and sadness filled her eyes.

Xia Jing hugged her and used the coquettish skills he had practiced in his previous life with the sponsor, and finally made Xiao Yue let go.

"My uncle is idle at home, so why not come to the capital to find a job. Even if you can't find one, I can work in my fourth brother's house after he leaves the palace." Xia Jing tempted with the future.

Xiao Yue hesitated for a long time before agreeing to write a letter and ask Empress Xian to send it to ask her brother to come to the capital. She also wanted to ask her parents to come, but they were too old to make the long journey.

It takes about half a month to deliver the letter. If my uncle doesn't linger on the road, it will take about half a month as well. I will be able to see him in a month.

Let him go back after the meeting. Looking for a job in the capital? Just to appease Xiao Yue, going back to suppress the rebels is the real thing!

Only after he wins a great victory can both mother and son stand up straight.

……

On the day agreed with the eldest princess Ning Wanjun, Xia Jing came to the door.

Ning Wanjun lived in Shuiyun Palace, a small courtyard next to the Empress Dowager Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother was the daughter of the Wu family, and Ning Wanjun inherited the Queen Mother's martial virtues. He was just average at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but was exceptionally proficient in deploying troops.

Xia Jing entered the courtyard, where he was met with shouts and cries of battle. Two teams of eunuchs were battling it out with wooden swords. Ning Wanjun sat high in front of the hall, watching expressionlessly.

There were more than ten eunuchs in the two teams, all on duty at the Imperial Stables. The Imperial Stables were responsible for raising horses for the emperor, and since they raised horses, they had to know how to ride, and since they knew how to ride, they naturally had to have some skills.

Xia Jing bypassed the two warring parties, ran to Ning Wanjun's side, and looked down excitedly.

He loves watching people fight the most!

Ning Wanjun turned his head and saw the joy in Xia Jing's eyes, but he didn't care.

The eunuchs from both sides used their own formations and initially tested each other. There were only clashes of wooden swords and no one was injured.

After a while, both sides became familiar with each other's fighting style, and the battle became fierce. Wooden swords chopped on flesh, blood splattered, and heads were broken and bleeding!

Within a few breaths, half of the eunuchs fell to the ground, and the remaining eunuchs were also injured.

Ning Wanjun looked at Xia Jing again. The excitement in Xia Jing's eyes had faded a little. He held his chin, as if thinking.

It's not uncommon to like watching fights, but not many people can remain calm when seeing such a bloody scene! Ning Wanjun was surprised.

After another dozen breaths, only three eunuchs were still standing in the yard. They were teammates.

Ning Wanjun clapped his hands, and more eunuchs came from both sides and carried away the fallen eunuch.
