He glanced at the 3D map and thought, why hasn't Ning Wanjun made a move yet? If you like watching a show, wait until the Winter Plum Blossom Banquet!

"I have another curiosity," Yingpin continued. "The Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince had several conflicts before, and it was the Eighth Prince who was injured. I originally thought that the Eighth Prince was too impulsive and accidentally injured himself. But today, I see that the Eighth Prince was no match for the Ninth Prince. Thinking back on what happened before, it makes sense."

Before Xia Jing could say anything, Ning Xuenian retorted, "Because brother Jing follows the eldest princess in martial arts training. The eldest princess is such a formidable person, so of course she taught brother Jing very well!"

Yingpin actually thought so too. She was just looking for an excuse to suppress and frame Xia Jing with words.

"Alright." Concubine Rou interrupted again, "The maid also said that it was the Eighth Prince who saw the Ninth Prince coming and took the initiative to attack him. The Ninth Prince's only mistake was that he hit him too hard."

She defended Xia Jing and gave the final decision: "The Ninth Prince and the Seventh Princess should apologize to the Eighth Prince, and the three children should reconcile."

Yingpin snorted and looked at Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian: "I'm afraid they won't even apologize."

Xia Jing, a man of two lives, didn't care about face. This time, he was too anxious and forgot to hit a hidden part, giving Yingpin a handle. He had nothing to lose by apologizing. He would settle the frustration with Yingpin and Ning Chengrui later.

But Ning Xuenian was different. Her values ​​were still far from being fully formed, so Xia Jing didn't care about this grievance. But for this stubborn girl, it would take a long time to suffer. If this happened too often, it would affect her personality.

Her current aloofness and extremism are the result of this incident.

Ning Xuenian was stunned. She had never apologized directly when questioned before, always dragging her feet until the very end, only offering a perfunctory apology at Yunpin's request.

At this time, her mother was not there, only her and her brother Jing...

She just opened her mouth when Xia Jing pulled her wrist and interrupted her.

There is no other choice but to call for help.

Xia Jing turned around and looked outside the palace in surprise: "Big Sister!"

Upon hearing this, Yingpin and Roufei looked towards the door in surprise. The yard was empty, so where was Ning Wanjun?

Just as he was about to ask Xia Jing, a figure jumped down from the eaves. It was Ning Wanjun.

Ning Wanjun walked into the room holding the little palace maid Rendong in one hand and General Coal in the other.

This is the Yihe Palace, the residence of Concubine Rou. Ning Wanjun strolled leisurely in the garden as if he was in his own territory.

She put down Honeysuckle and General Coal and said calmly, "Greetings to Concubine Rou and Concubine Ying."

She didn't bend down or lower her head, but just rolled her eyes and walked over to Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian: "Now that the matter has been resolved, I will take these two children away."

"Wait!" Concubine Rou and Concubine Ying spoke at the same time.

"What else do you two ladies need?" Ning Wanjun turned around. "If you feel this is not appropriate, how about we go to the Cining Palace and discuss it together?"

Going to the Cining Palace? Xia Jing perked up.

He looked at Concubine Rou and Concubine Ying, anticipation hidden in his eyes. The Cining Palace was the residence of the Empress Dowager. It would be great if he could meet her!

He encouraged Concubine Rou and Concubine Ying. "Show your concubines' courage! Ning Wanjun is so arrogant! Go and complain to the Queen Mother!"

"No need to trouble the Queen Mother." Concubine Rou retreated.

After Ning Wanjun appeared, her previous calmness was gone. Everything was in her plan before, but Ning Wanjun's appearance interrupted her plan.

Yingpin sat back and said, "The matter has not been resolved yet. We still need an apology from the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Prince."

"Apologize?" Ning Wanjun looked at Yingpin.

Ning Wanjun was slightly taller than the average man, and a head and neck taller than Yingpin. She stood while Yingpin sat, looking down while Yingpin could only look up; she was on the outside, with her back to the light, while Yingpin was on the inside, facing the light.

Regardless of the right time and place, Yingpin is not as good as Ning Wanjun. As for the people, how can Yingpin's frail skin and ferocious look compare with Ning Wanjun's natural majesty?

Ning Wanjun didn't say anything, just stared at Yingpin for a few breaths. Yingpin's waist softened, and Ning Chengrui on her legs didn't even dare to cry.

At this time, Ning Wanjun spoke up, "I was the one who taught the Ninth Prince how to fight. He was at fault for accidentally injuring the Eighth Prince, and as the one who taught him, I can't escape blame. How about I apologize to Concubine Ying and the Eighth Prince on behalf of the Ninth Prince?"

Yingpin's lips trembled, but she didn't say anything. Roufei hurriedly said, "How can the Eighth Prince bear this?! The eldest princess, please take the two children back quickly."

Ning Wanjun glanced at Yingpin again, held Xia Jing's hand and walked out.

Xia Jing held Ning Xuenian's hand and stopped when passing by Luhua.

"Luhua and Xiao Tianzi, please go too and take good care of your young master." Concubine Rou said.

The group left the Summer Palace and headed towards the Shuiyun Palace.

Xiao Tianzi was numb. His young master had the help of the gods. Every time he reached a critical moment, he could always escape danger. He was used to it. Basic operation, don't be stupid.

He carefully raised his head and looked at the backs of Ning Xuenian and Ning Wanjun. He couldn't help but compare the two princesses. One caused trouble and the other settled things. It was a pity that the eldest princess was about to leave the palace. It would be nice if the young master could always be with the eldest princess.

Luhua was also looking at Ning Wanjun, horrified. She thought she would be scolded again, but she hadn't expected that she and the princess would actually come out safely.

She looked at Xia Jing again. The Ninth Prince was a very good person and always protected his own princess. However, Xiao Zhaoyi's position was lower, and the Ninth Prince could not control the situation.

She turned around and saw that the eaves of the Summer Palace disappeared behind the courtyard wall, and she was completely relieved.

The crisis was resolved, and many things that I had not thought of before came to mind.

Among all the princes and princesses, Ning Xuenian disliked the eldest princess the most. Now that she was rescued by the eldest princess, she must be very conflicted.

She walked forward quickly to share Ning Xuenian's worries.

She bowed to Ning Wanjun and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Princess, for saving me. I feel a little uneasy. I will return to Yonghua Palace first and then go to the Princess's Palace to express my gratitude."

Ning Wanjun said, "No need to thank me."

This means you can leave.

Lu Hua turned to look at Ning Xuenian: "Princess, we..."

This time, she realized that something was wrong.

Xia Jing was whispering in Ning Xuenian's ear, and his words drifted to Luhua's ears.

"...At the command of the eldest princess, the eunuchs in the arena immediately stopped. Those bleeding stopped crying, those struggling stopped howling. There was also a knife, which was stopped just in front of a eunuch's nose, just an inch away from slicing it off..."

Xia Jing tells the story of Ning Wanjun training his troops in Shuiyun Palace and the eunuchs' blood staining the bricks in front of the door.

Ning Wanjun saved Ning Xuenian. Now is a good time to resolve the grudge and let go of the past!

"The eldest princess is so powerful!" Ning Xuenian raised her head, her eyes shining, and looked at Ning Wanjun with admiration.

"Let's go to the eldest princess's palace and practice martial arts together. Next time we meet Ning Chengrui, we can use both hands to beat him until he cries for his parents!" Xia Jing said again.

"Okay!" Ning Xuenian nodded vigorously.

Lu Hua opened her mouth, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. Ning Wanjun turned her head. When did she agree to teach Ning Xue to read?

Chapter 61 Meow Meow is wronged

Luhua returned to Yonghua Palace alone. When Xiao Tianzi saw her go back, he asked Xia Jing for her opinion, said goodbye to the eldest princess, and returned to Jingyixuan.

Ning Wanjun looked at the small field in the distance, then looked at Xia Jing, and found it interesting.

Lu Hua wanted to return to Yonghua Palace and asked for her consent without asking Ning Xuenian at all. She just said goodbye to Ning Xuenian at the end.

Xiao Tianzi was going back to Jingyixuan, so he asked Xia Jing first and then asked her.

The process may seem similar, but in reality, it's very different. Lu Hua's heart's master isn't Ning Xuenian, but Concubine Yun. Xiao Tianzi's heart's master, however, is Ninth Prince Xia Jing, who's even younger than Ning Xuenian.

She thought again of Xia Jing's defense of Ning Xuenian in the Summer Palace.

It's normal for children to have some twisted ideas and say something shocking occasionally, but she felt that Xia Jing was being twisted on purpose.

He's brave, resourceful, and talented, but it's a pity he's a prince. Ning Wanjun sighed.

If he weren't a prince, even if he were a member of the royal family or the son of a prominent family, it would be much easier to handle. On the day we leave Beijing, we'll simply tie up the boy and take him to the northern border or the Xiongnu, carefully training him. When the boy grows up, he'll surely be of great use.

But he is a prince after all. She dares to tie the prince up and take him to the Huns in the northern border, but Emperor Kangning doesn't dare!

The Northern Frontier was already unstable. After Emperor Kangning died, if someone refused to recognize the newly enthroned emperor and supported the Ninth Prince to become emperor, it would directly split the Ning Dynasty!

Only princesses without inheritance rights can be given away to obedient allies at will, like objects.

Thinking of this, she sighed again.

When they arrived at Shuiyun Palace, she asked the palace maid to take Ning Xuenian downstairs to bathe and change clothes.

"I'm going to take a shower too." Xia Jing felt something was wrong and wanted to follow Ning Xuenian.

Ning Wanjun grabbed him and said, "You keep it."

Xia Jing was worried: "General, I defeated the enemy in two moves, I didn't lose face for you!"

"That's not it. When did I agree to teach Ning Xuemiao? You promised that I would do the work for you?" Ning Wanjun narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Jing like a hunting wolf.

Xia Jing was startled and quickly dialed up the interpersonal interface to take a look.

[Intimacy: 62 → 64]

It has increased a bit compared to the last time I saw it. It was a false alarm. Ning Wanjun was just trying to scare him!

However, if you really don't take threats seriously, you're just tired of living. A tiger, having eaten its fill, tries to scare a deer that's blocking its path. If the deer thinks it's aware of the tiger's appetite and stays put, you can bet it'll suffer the consequences.

"I thought that this warrior has extraordinary archery skills and could lead a team of archers to help the general. Therefore, I have overstepped my bounds and am willing to accept the general's punishment!" Xia Jing knelt on one knee, pretending to be serious.

He had played this kind of situational game many times in his previous life. Generals and subordinates were just child's play. There were also wives and gardeners, mistresses and housekeepers, cats and dogs...

"Get up." Ning Wanjun was very satisfied with Xia Jing's attitude.

She didn't like ordinary sibling relationships, and was more attracted to this kind of sibling relationship with a certain status difference. Otherwise, she wouldn't be interested in training eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

She didn't ask for anything or ask for punishment, so Xia Jing knew it was just out of her interest. He grinned secretly, thinking, "When I conquer the world, I'll let you be the next in command!"

Ning Xuenian came in from behind the curtain, and Ning Wanjun taught her a set of body-building boxing techniques and asked her to practice them.

Ning Xuenian learned slower than Xia Jing, which was just as Ning Wanjun had expected. However, the girl persisted in practicing again and again, showing a willpower that was no weaker than Xia Jing's, which surprised Ning Wanjun.

It's a pity that she is a girl and it is difficult for her to lead troops in battle.

She glanced at Xia Jing who was sparring with Rendong, and finally set her eyes on the black ball at her feet.

"Meow?" General Coal trembled.

Ning Wanjun clapped his hands, and a eunuch walked in, leading a small greyhound. The smallhound was slender but capable, making it a good helper for hunting.

The one the eunuch was leading was the dog king presented to Emperor Kangning by the Northern Frontier family. She asked for it from Emperor Kangning and had the imperial stables train it carefully. It became stronger than before.

"From now on, it is your teacher." Ning Wanjun pointed at the greyhound and said to General Coal.

"Meow meow meow?" General Coal looked at Ning Wanjun in shock.

I am just a cat!

"He really understands human nature." Ning Wanjun was very satisfied.

The eunuch led the greyhound and approached General Coal. General Coal immediately ran out. The dog ran to Xia Jing's feet and meowed for help.

Xia Jing patted its head and said, "If you train well, you will be able to dominate the palace and take over all the female cats in the future!"

I am a little female cat, and I am the only cat in the palace!

General Coal wanted to run, but he could not outrun the well-trained greyhound. There were no trees in the Shuiyun Palace, and he could not climb high to hide.

Soon, the greyhound returned to Ning Wanjun with General Coal in its mouth.

Xia Jing rubbed his chest which was hurt by Rendong's blow, looked at General Coal who failed to jump through the fire ring and jumped into the basin of water to put out the fire, and felt much better.

It is sad to be beaten alone, but it is gratifying to see your friends being beaten too.

He took the opportunity to slander Ning Wanjun.

An incense stick later, Xiao Tianzi came back from Jingyixuan. As he ran into Shuiyun Palace, two eunuchs held him on the left and right.

"What are you doing?!" Xiao Tianzi said tremblingly.

The two eunuchs ignored him and took Xiao Tianzi into the palace next to Shuiyun Palace.

Xiao Tianzi's screams reached Xia Jing's ears. He looked far in the direction of the sound, and all the fatigue in his body disappeared.

In the evening, coming out of Shuiyun Palace, Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian walked side by side, with Luhua and Xiao Tianzi following behind.

Luhua looked at Xiao Tianzi, who was staggering and half dead, and was confused.

Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian were still growing, so they shouldn't overwork themselves or train too hard. Xiao Tianzi, on the other hand, was already an adult and didn't have any such concerns. The eunuchs in Shuiyun Palace were extremely ruthless, and Xia Jing felt a little panicked when he saw them.

"Young master, I will carry you on my back." Xiao Tianzi did not forget his duty.

"No, what if I fall?" Xia Jing immediately shook his head.

Luhua smiled secretly.

"It's okay, let's sit together on Luhua." Ning Xuenian waved her hand.

Luhua's smile froze.
