She replied, "Perhaps she didn't sleep well. Ninth Prince, please don't disturb her. Go back quickly."
Xia Jing nodded.
Yuhe was worried, so she carried Xia Jing all the way through the corridor and sent him to the gate.
"Goodbye, Little Tiger." Xia Jing waved to Eunuch Xiao Hu.
Eunuch Hu was confused, but seeing Yuhe holding him, he did not dare to neglect her. He quickly apologized with a smile and bowed, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
The boy ran and jumped, and his back disappeared around the corner.
Yu He turned around, her smile faded, and she glared at Eunuch Xiao Hu fiercely, saying to her left and right: "Catch him!"
Eunuch Hu's premonition came true, and he cried out in dismay, "Aunt, please understand! I really didn't let the Ninth Prince in!"
Yuhe ignored him and took him to the main hall, waiting for the Queen Mother's decision.
Empress Dowager You had woken up. After hearing her words, what she was most concerned about was not Xiao Huzi, but the words of the Ninth Prince.
"Did I frown when I was sleeping?" she asked Yuhe.
"The Empress Dowager is worried about the Emperor and the world." Yuhe answered while kneeling.
Empress Dowager You laughed and said, "It's not easy to see a frown on my face full of wrinkles."
Yuhe didn't dare to respond.
"Go, drag that little tiger away and give him two lashes. Tell him that from now on it will be the same, two lashes each time." said Empress Dowager You.
Xiao Huzi is the leader of the eunuchs guarding the outer gate. No matter how the Ninth Prince got in, it is right to beat him.
I've made it into the top ten of the monthly votes for new books. Thank you all! I'm begging for more votes next month to stabilize my ranking!
Chapter 81 Tired, Lie Down
After being cheated twice, Xiao Tianzi became more vigilant.
But such vigilance is of limited use, just like a husband after marriage cannot escape the fate of paying public grain no matter how vigilant he is. As a servant, Xiao Tianzi dared not disobey Xia Jing's orders.
Xia Jing promised not to climb over the wall and let Xiao Tianzi continue to walk with his eyes blindfolded. Xiao Tianzi could only pray to the gods and Buddhas, praying that the Ninth Prince would keep his word.
Xia Jing used reality to tell him that feudal superstition was unacceptable.
Unlike Xiao Tianzi, Luhua does not listen to Ning Xuenian directly. When Ning Xuenian's request conflicts with Yunpin's request, she will listen to Yunpin.
Ning Xuenian failed repeatedly and became extremely frustrated.
Another morning, the group headed to the Cining Palace with ease.
When they approached the main gate of the palace wall, Xia Jingrang stopped.
He saw Xiao Huzi leading a few eunuchs and patrolling around.
Eunuch Hu had been beaten for several days straight. Although the eunuchs holding the sticks were his own men and didn't hit him hard, it was still like this every day. Although his butt was fine, his face was humiliated. The beatings were all done in the courtyard, with the palace maids and eunuchs watching!
He figured out that the Ninth Prince couldn't have entered through the main gate, which meant he had to climb over the wall.
So he took a few eunuchs and patrolled outside the palace walls.
"Young master, there are people watching us, so let's go in through the main gate!" Xiao Tianzi thought that now the Ninth Prince could finally go in through the main gate.
Xia Jing ignored him. There was no way he could go through the main gate. His relationship with Empress Dowager You wasn't there yet, and the old lady was still in a tsundere state. She would definitely not let him in.
The wall of the Cining Palace is very long. Xiao Huzi only has three eunuchs with him and cannot guard it all. But when Xia Jing flips over, they will definitely be able to see it.
As a young prince, Xia Jing had privileges, and Empress Dowager You didn't mind his intrusion. But Xiao Tianzi couldn't. This accomplice would be punished if caught. This wasn't the first time; they were considered repeat offenders.
"I'll go stop them." Ning Xuenian patted her chest.
As long as the eunuchs guarding the wall are distracted so that they can't see Xia Jing and Xiao Tianzi, it will be fine.
This plan sounds good, but when it comes to its implementation... Xia Jing doesn't think Ning Xuenian can do it.
"Oh, isn't this the Ninth Prince?" Eunuch Hu caught sight of Xia Jing and came over in surprise. "Greetings to the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Princess."
He rolled his eyes and saw the embarrassment on everyone's faces. He knew that his method was working and felt proud.
A mere three-year-old kid wants to play tricks on my little eunuch Hu?
This time, I don’t have to be beaten with a stick!
"Does the Ninth Prince want to see the Empress Dowager? Please wait a moment, I will go to the palace to report to her, okay?" Eunuch Hu said with a smile.
Let you go and report, and then I just stand there and wait like last time?
Xia Jing glanced at him, turned his back to the Cining Palace, and walked away.
Ning Xuenian pulled out half of the slingshot, put it back, and caught up with the boy. Xiao Tianzi and Luhua followed behind her.
"Eunuch Hu, are they leaving?" asked the young eunuch.
"It seems that he has left, but we can't be careless. It would be bad if he comes back." Eunuch Hu said with a smile.
"As expected of a eunuch, this is a brilliant move! The Ninth Prince can't climb over the wall now!"
"We hope the Ninth Prince will turn over a new leaf. Then, we can catch that servant who used him as a ladder and make him suffer at least a heavy blow if he doesn't die!"
"Don't worry, sir. We will keep a close eye on it."
"Leave it to you."
Eunuch Hu returned to the main gate in high spirits.
He said that the Ninth Prince might turn back, just in case, but he didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would actually come back.
An hour later, he heard his men shouting, and he quickly called a few eunuchs and ran towards the sound.
After turning the corner, a figure in black stood under the vermilion palace wall, blocked by two patrolling eunuchs.
Eunuch Xiao Hu was overjoyed: "Catch him! Don't let him get away! Hey, today I, the eunuch, will definitely teach you a lesson!"
As he got closer, he realized something was wrong. His two eunuchs stood with their heads down, cowering. It didn't look like they were blocking the murderer, but rather they were being blocked by the murderer.
He stopped and was about to ask when the figure in black turned around.
"Who does Eunuch Hu want to teach a lesson?" Ning Zhixing put his hands behind his back and looked him up and down.
The one who helped to climb over the wall was not Xiao Tianzi, but the Fourth Prince!
Eunuch Hu's legs softened, and he knelt on the ground, slapping his mouth hard and crying, "This slave deserves to die. Fourth Prince, please spare this slave and treat this slave like a fart!"
"Hahahaha," Ning Zhixing thought it was quite interesting, "Tell me about what happened recently."
He was tricked by Xia Jing. When the boy climbed over the wall and disappeared, Ning Zhixing realized that he had been deceived.
I wasn't annoyed, I just found it interesting and wanted to find a way to punish that little bad prince!
The little rascal prince has arrived at the back garden.
Empress Dowager You was farming, Yuhe was helping, and Xia Jing was sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and watching, occasionally picking up a piece of cake, taking a bite, and nodding in praise.
The weather is warm today, and Empress Dowager You is sore from working that her waist and body are hot. Seeing Xia Jing having fun, she feels unhappy.
Like most old maids, Empress Dowager You couldn't bear to see her children and grandchildren sitting around doing nothing while she was working.
She remained calm, put down the hoe, wiped the sweat off her face and pretended to be thirsty.
Sure enough, the Ninth Prince came over with tea.
He is sensible, but this is not enough.
Empress Dowager You took the tea bowl with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand to grab the back of Xia Jing's collar.
The boy looked up at her in confusion.
"Go and get another hoe." Empress Dowager You smiled coldly.
Yuhe understood the Queen Mother's thoughts and wanted to rescue her, but she was powerless.
After a while, she came back with a small hoe.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Among the bushes, Empress Dowager You was digging in front with a big hoe, while Xia Jing was digging in the back with a small hoe.
After feeling tired, Empress Dowager You turned around and looked at Xia Jing, who had a sad face, and felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
This is right!
"Try harder, haven't you eaten?" she urged Xia Jing.
Xia Jing said nothing and dug the ground faster.
He was a little confused. Although he knew that Empress Dowager You was not a good person, what kind of grandmother would let her three-year-old grandson dig the ground!
Also, what's with this little hoe? Could it be the one Ning Wanjun used as a child?
Thinking of the future Xiongnu queen Ning Wanjun, who also hoeed the earth like this, Xia Jing felt much better.
Fortunately, he had a foundation in martial arts, so he wasn't tired. Fortunately, the food here was pure natural and additive-free, without any strong smell of Jinkela.
After hoeing the ground for half an hour, the work was finally finished and Empress Dowager You sat in the pavilion to rest.
She took a sip of tea, glanced at Xia Jing beside her, and couldn't help but smile with her hands covering her mouth.
The boy was lying on a bench beside the pavilion, his legs and hands hanging down, his head tilted, looking as if he had burned out.
Hoeing the land is not only physically demanding, but also mentally demanding. It's so boring!
"Get up, don't catch a cold!" Empress Dowager You patted Xia Jing's belly.
"I'm tired, let me lie down." Xia Jing turned over and took a look at his interpersonal relationships.
Compassion: 50 → 53
The hourly wage is only 3 points. This Cining Palace Co., Ltd. is too cruel!
Chapter 82: No pulling or stepping on others!
Early in the morning, Xia Jing woke up in a daze and stood on the bed, waving his hands up and down.
"What is this for?" Xiao Yue stood up and asked in confusion.
"Farming." Xia Jing's expression was serious.
He turned around and pretended to be hoeing the ground on Xiao Yue's body.
"Where did Jing'er see the farming method?" Xiao Yue was even more confused. The boy's movements were quite standard.
But there was no farming in the harem.
"I learned it from my grandma in Cining Palace." Xia Jing tried to improve the way of exerting force and decided to give it a try today.
"The young master is such a joker." Yi Qiu took the clothes and came to the bedside, helping Xiao Yue change clothes first.
Xia Jing did not explain. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
If you think about it carefully, this harem is really full of talented people. There is the third prince who loves playing with toys, the fourth prince who is obsessed with carpentry, Emperor Kangning who steals children's things, and Empress Dowager You who works in the fields.
Yi Qiu not only didn't believe that Empress Dowager You was farming, but also didn't believe that Xia Jing had gone to the Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager's coldness was known to everyone in the harem, and the eldest princess had also become that cold person under the Empress Dowager's guidance.
Now, beside Xia Jing was Ren Dong. The young palace maid reported Xia Jing's itinerary briefly each time. She knew that climbing over the wall to enter the Cining Palace was not a good idea, but she did not mention it to Xiao Yue.
As for Xiao Tianzi, although Xiao Yue wanted to mention it, she didn't ask him at all.
Xiao Yue touched Xia Jing's hair, half believing and half doubting: "When did you go to the Cining Palace?"
"I climbed over the wall yesterday." Xia Jing sat on the edge of the bed, raised his feet, and asked Yi Qiu to put on his shoes for him.
"Young master, why don't you fly in?" Yi Qiu fanned his hands and pretended to fly.
Xiao Yue laughed: "Then you have to be careful and don't get caught."
She kissed Xia Jing on the forehead, finished her daily routine, and walked out of the bedroom.
She didn't believe Xia Jing's words either. No one could believe that he had climbed over the wall into the Cining Palace and worked the fields with Empress Dowager You.
This is exactly what Xia Jing wants. If you don't believe me when I tell you the truth, you can't blame me for hiding it from you.
After washing up and having breakfast, he took Rendong and ran out of Jingyixuan and went straight to Guanlanzhai.
Guanlanzhai is not far from the Cining Palace. Xia Jing paid a Rubik's Cube manufacturing blueprint, and Ning Zhixing promised to be his ladder every day.
Making a Rubik's Cube is not a difficult task in modern times, but in this era, there is a difficult problem to solve, that is the middle axis.
Ning Zhixing took the blueprint and looked at it as he walked.
