The villain prince is three and a half years old

Yi Qiu was overjoyed and kowtowed to thank Emperor Kangning. She had just been worrying about her clothes and wondering why the Ninth Prince had suddenly fallen, but now it seemed that he had fallen at the perfect time!

Emperor Kangning asked the eunuchs and palace maids to stand up, and then carried Xia Jing into the palace.

On the palace table, there was a pastry that Xia Jing had eaten half of, and the other half was left for dinner. On the ground, there was silver charcoal that he was reluctant to burn.

Emperor Kangning also rewarded the guests with cakes and silver charcoal, and after that, the atmosphere became slightly cold.

Emperor Kangning could examine the older princes' academic performance, but the Ninth Prince hadn't yet entered the Upper Study...

How should I take care of the child? Emperor Kang Ning was worried.

"Father, do you want to play a jigsaw puzzle?" Xia Jing took out a puzzle of 500 pieces.

"Let me try." Emperor Kangning breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the atmosphere was not awkward.

The eunuchs and palace maids then witnessed a wonderful scene: the Ninth Prince took out toys and taught Emperor Kangning how to play with them.

There are no detailed simple drawings on this puzzle set, only the yin-yang fish that Xia Jing drew casually, which Xia Jing kept for his own fun.

Emperor Kangning is not Ning Shouxu, how could he possibly like this? Xia Jing was not prepared.

Sure enough, after a stick of incense, Emperor Kangning stood up and said, "Why hasn't your mother come back yet? I'll go to Fuqing Palace to check."

"Farewell, Father." Xia Jing quickly jumped off the chair and saluted.

Emperor Kangning straightened his appearance, swung his arm, swept his sleeves across the table, and walked out of Jingyixuan.

Xia Jing breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the icons in the 3D map disappear at the edge.

Finally left.

He glanced at Emperor Kangning's kindness.

Kindness: 53 → 55 (+10)

The 53 points represent Xu Zhongde's efforts over the past few days, and the +10 in the brackets represents Xiao Jida's bonus. These two additional points represent Xia Jing's entire gain today.

It was indeed difficult to increase the score, so it was better to work harder elsewhere. If it were someone else, Xia Jing could at least reach 59, or even 60, by playing the victim.

Xia Jing sat back in the chair. Emperor Kangning’s attitude didn’t matter. What mattered was that Xiao Jida succeeded!

His heart surged with emotion. Tomorrow, Xiao Yue would be able to be promoted to a concubine, and the mission of becoming a concubine would be completed!

I just don't know what kind of evaluation I will get after this task is completed.

In terms of time, the task has been delayed for a while.

There is no way, stability is the priority.

Xia Jing took a sip of tea and looked down at the table. He wanted to continue playing the Yin-Yang fish puzzle, but the table was empty. Not only was there no puzzle, but even the puzzle box was gone.

"...?"

He thought of Emperor Kang Ning swinging his sleeves and sweeping across the table before leaving, and felt sad.

There is a thief!

Is this right? Is this normal? The old father stole the child's toys!

Xia Jing was not heartbroken about the puzzle, but rather indignant. After taking his puzzle, Emperor Kangning only added two points of kindness!

Too stingy!

Never mind, I don't expect anything from Emperor Kangning. Xiao Yue's promotion to concubine and Xiao Jida's control of military power are the most important things.

I don’t know how Xiao Jida handled the rebellion and how he handled it.

Chapter 75: Promotion to Concubine, Mission Reward

"The Emperor, by the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: I believe that the rule of kings begins in the palace, and that the proper order and rites are revered in the imperial court. I advise you, Mrs. Xiao, to be of a righteous and tranquil mind... I hereby appoint you as a concubine and bestow upon you the title of Shu. You will continue to be diligent day and night, and continue to bring glory to me. I admire you!"

The eunuch's shrill voice echoed through the harem. Xiao Yue accepted the golden decree of imperial concubine status and saluted. The rising sun illuminated Jingyixuan with a dazzling golden glow.

All the concubines who were staring at Xiao Yue narrowed their eyes. The title on the golden book was more dazzling than the sunlight.

"Shu, how can it be Shu!"

Many low-ranking concubines were jealous to the point of madness, and even more concubines recalled the past with fear, trying to confirm whether they had any grudges with Jing Yixuan.

Concubine Duan and Concubine Rou were in a trance, and even they could not ignore that title.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Yun were surprised and went to Jingyixuan one after another to congratulate Xiao Yue.

"Now it's time to call you Concubine Shu." Concubine Yun said with a smile.

"Thanks to my brother." Xiao Yue replied.

She was still a little confused. When the news came, she was completely stunned.

His own idle brother led thousands of soldiers and horses to defend Nankang City when the rebels besieged the city, and even beheaded the rebel leader?

She thought such stories could only happen in dreams.

"I really envy my sister. This is the word 'Shu'." Concubine Yun sighed.

Even though she was calm, she couldn't help but feel envious when she saw the title.

In the Ning Dynasty, concubines could take any title they wanted, but in more distant history, the titles of concubines were fixed, namely:

Noble, virtuous, virtuous and wise.

Among them, the Imperial Concubine was separated into an independent rank, becoming a rank between the Concubine and the Empress. The remaining titles were Shu, De, and Xian. Although they were no longer tied to the Concubine position, no concubine had ever been able to obtain any of these three titles!

Except Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue held Yunpin's hand and said, "No matter how good it is, it has been used by others. It's not as good as my sister, who has the word 'Yun' for herself."

The two of them boasted to each other.

Xia Jing was not interested in this. He sat on a chair with Ning Xuenian, eating snacks shoulder to shoulder.

There was a plate of pastries on each table. Ning Xuenian couldn't reach the one on Xia Jing's side, so the boy picked up some pastries and fed them to the girl.

The girl ate it, then pinched her own side and fed it to the boy.

Xia Jing pretended to bite Ning Xuenian's hand, which scared the girl so much that her eyes widened. After realizing that she had been tricked, she angrily bit Xia Jing's palm lightly.

Looking at the tooth marks on the tiger's mouth, Xia Jing couldn't help laughing.

He was often bitten like this in his previous life.

After briefly reminiscing about the past, he looked at the system interface, feeling a little nervous.

[You successfully promoted Xiao Yue's rank to concubine]

[Task evaluation: perfect]

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw perfection.

Although it took a while, I was given the title of 'Shu' and the mission was completed with a high degree of success.

[Please select two of the four rewards below]

1. Treasure Map (Unknown)

【2. Enlightenment Tea (can be specified)】

【3. Wish Paper Crane】

[4. Night Pearl]

There are four rewards, the one that is guaranteed to be a wish paper crane, and the remaining three are new faces.

[Treasure Map (Random): A map depicting a mysterious treasure. Please take the treasure within five days, otherwise it may be taken by someone else.]

Mysterious treasures can be swords, armor, or even gold and silver, with random amounts. The five-day deadline is generally ignored, as these treasures will generally remain where they are.

No one doesn't like treasure. Xia Jing can't dig it up in the palace, so he can give it to Xiao Jida.

But this treasure map is too random, and what you get depends entirely on luck.

[Enlightenment Tea (Specifiable): This tea, imbued with the principles of heaven and earth, brews a cup and drinks it to raise the level of a skill. Specifiable skill.]

In short, it means skill level +1, not just for normal skills, but also for special skills. In the game, special skills are basically improved by props, and practicing on your own is extremely slow.

Using this, you can directly upgrade the animal taming skill to level 2 and unlock a new pet.

There is no need to explain much about the wish paper cranes. Xia Jing looked at the last one.

[Night-shining pearl: A fisherman in the East China Sea strayed into a storm and stumbled upon a pearl in the deep sea, as bright as a hundred candles. Holding this pearl will protect you from all poisons.]

This must be taken!

Xia Jing ordered the night pearl without any hesitation.

This is immune to all poisons! With it, you no longer have to worry about being poisoned!

As for the remaining share...

Xia Jing hesitated for a long time, and after feeding Ning Xuenian a plate of pastries, he finally made up his mind.

In fact, there is no need to worry. Xia Jing is just addicted to drawing cards and is hesitating whether to try the wish paper crane or the treasure map.

It is better to be prudent and choose a certain reward.

He clicked on the Enlightenment Tea and the Night Pearl.

The system didn't respond at all. Okay, he had to make it himself again.

Wudao tea is tea, and Yemingzhu is pearl, but I don’t know whether there are any quality requirements.

High-quality tea is easy to find, but high-quality pearls are a bit difficult to find.

Xia Jing recalled the appearance of these two props in the game. Wudao Tea was green tea, and the Night Pearl was as thick as a finger. This finger referred to the thumb.

"Sister Nian'er, have you seen the big pearl?" Xia Jing asked Ning Xuenian.

"Big pearls?" Ning Xuenian thought for a moment, "Mom has a string of them, about this big."

The girl compared her little finger. It was so thin, it wasn't enough.

Xia Jing jumped off the chair, went to the inner room, and flipped through Xiao Yue's concubine's clothes. On the crown of the concubine's clothes, there were several large pearls, at least thicker than his thumb.

He pinched the pearl, but the system did not respond.

It's still too small. It's about as thick as an adult's thumb.

Tsk, what a crappy system! Other people’s props all come with the appearance included, but you’re the only one so stingy that I have to find the pearls myself!

Even these broken pearls... pick and choose! Aren't these pearls pretty good? Why can't you like them? What's wrong with a smaller one? Can't I hold it in one hand? Why do I have to have them so big and dazzling? Be careful or you'll be single forever!

Xia Jing thought of Emperor Kangning. As an emperor, he must have precious pearls in his warehouse.

He thought of Empress Xian and Ning Wanjun again. They might also have pearls that meet his requirements.

Putting Pearl aside first, he picked up the green tea can. There was no accident this time. Wudao Tea was a good child. Xia Jing pointed to the can as a marriage partner, and they obediently got together.

Holding the tea leaves, Xia Jing threw them into the tea bowl and took a sip.

[Beast Taming Level 1 → Level 2]

Completed!

Just take the first sip.

"What are you doing?" Ning Xuenian picked up his tea bowl, took a sip, and said with a bitter face, "There's too much tea leaves in it. It's so bitter."

Xia Jing stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth and took her hand as they ran towards Shuiyun Palace.

He asked Ning Wanjun about the pearl.

"A pearl the size of a thumb? That's a rare treasure." Ning Wanjun pondered, "I actually got one a few years ago and used it to make an elixir."

He actually made the elixir!

Xia Jing was heartbroken. Feudal superstitions have caused great harm to people!

He went to Fuqing Palace and Yanghexuan again. Concubine Xian had given one to the Empress Dowager, but she didn't have it now, and Ning Shouxu had never owned one.

It’s bad enough that Jingyixuan is poor, but why are you so poor too!

Xia Jing returned to Shuiyun Palace, sat beside Ning Wanjun, and sighed.

"Why do you suddenly want pearls? Are you planning to give them to Concubine Shu?" Ning Wanjun asked in confusion.

"I heard that pearls that big have miraculous effects." Xia Jing pretended to have heard too many stories.
