Honeysuckle looked up quietly, glanced at the boy's expression, and was shocked.

Normally, the boy was always cheerful and carefree. During a duel, he didn't get angry even when she hit him. But now, his face was stern, not a hint of playfulness. His sharp gaze, just a glance at him, frightened her. She felt a little scared and a little wronged.

After all, she was just a little girl, and she couldn't withstand Xia Jing's pressure, so she knelt on the ground.

She whispered, "He wanted to compete with me, and I didn't stop."

Xia Jing looked at Xiao Tianzi again.

Xiao Tianzi lowered his head to the ground and said, "My dear young master, it is just as Miss Honeysuckle said."

"Why do you want to compete with her?" Xia Jing asked.

He knew that Xiao Tianzi was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause trouble.

Xiao Tianzi became flustered and kowtowed repeatedly. He was beaten, but it seemed as if he had done something wrong.

"It is this servant who is dissatisfied with Miss Honeysuckle. Please punish me, young master."

"Why are you dissatisfied with her?"

"I feel that... Miss Honeysuckle is a bit presumptuous. The sword was left by the eldest princess to the young master. She shouldn't be able to take it whenever she wants!" Xiao Tianzi didn't say everything. In addition to this incident, there are many other similar things.

Xia Jing looked at Rendong, and the girl lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.

Xia Jing remained impassive, feeling a sense of relief. He'd thought it was just a case of internal strife, but this was the real story. With more subordinates, the grudges and resentments would become more complex, and it would be unusual if there weren't conflicts. As long as things stayed within certain rules, it wasn't a big deal. After all, it's better to open up than to block.

What Xia Jing didn't expect was that Xiao Tianzi also noticed the girl's disrespect towards him, and because of this, he challenged the girl to a fight.

This little Tianzi does have the potential to be a disciplinary committee member, but his strength is too weak. As an adult male who has practiced martial arts for several months, he couldn't even beat a 9-year-old girl!

Xia Jing thought that Xiao Tianzi's talent was still lacking. This talent was not referring to his physical body. At least for now, Xiao Tianzi's strength should be stronger than Jin Dong's. The age gap was not so easy to make up.

Odako's weakness lies in his comprehension of the moves.

Ning Wanjun sent Xiao Tianzi to the Imperial Stables, hoping to help him develop. It now seemed that Xiao Tianzi's potential was limited. The Imperial Stables were a crucial military institution within the palace, even the Imperial Household Department had limited influence, and Jingyixuan had even less influence. If Xiao Tianzi wanted to make a name for himself in the Imperial Stables, he would have to rely on his own military prowess.

"Get up." Xia Jing said to the two of them.

Honeysuckle is a princess of a fallen country, and those "usurpations" are only outside the core issues. Xia Jing didn't care about it at first, but since Xiao Tianzi mentioned it, he should indeed take care of it.

However, this tube requires some skills.

Xia Jing walked up to Xiao Tianzi and patted his waist: "Ren Dong is not a maid of Jingyixuan, she was left by the eldest princess. Naturally, there is no need to tell me about the things in Shuiyun Palace."

When Ning Wanjun was mentioned, Xiao Tianzi immediately lost his objection. Since Ren Dong was not from Jing Yi Xuan, he certainly had no say in the matter. He knelt again, this time, to say that he had "overstepped his bounds."

Honeysuckle listened from the side, and instead of feeling relieved that she had escaped punishment, she felt panic instead.

Before leaving, the princess clearly stated that she was giving her to the Ninth Prince. Now that the Ninth Prince disowned her, where could she go? The Shuiyun Palace was already empty! Wouldn't she be like a rootless duckweed?

Xia Jing saw the hesitation in her eyes and knew that the first step of his plan was successful.

As for the next step, hey.

Xia Jing took out the medicine from the medicine box and called Xiao Tianzi over to apply the medicine for him.

Even though he'd already applied it once, Xiao Tianzi was still deeply moved. It was the same ointment, but the way the young master applied it was different. The feel and effectiveness were at least ten times better than when he applied it himself! He was so moved that his loyalty even increased slightly.

"I plan to use General Yu to send a few letters to Beizhen. Xiao Tianzi, you practice martial arts because of the favor of the eldest princess. You should also write one and give it to me tomorrow." Xia Jing put away the medicine and said to Xiao Tianzi.

He turned around and looked at Honeysuckle again: "It's the same with Honeysuckle."

"Yes." The two agreed.

After leaving Jingyixuan, Xia Jing went to Yonghua Palace and Guanlanzhai again. Ning Xuenian and Ning Zhixing also agreed to write a letter.

Finally, after climbing over the wall and entering the Cining Palace, Xia Jing asked Empress Dowager You.

"Oh, be careful that your Saker Falcon may never come back." Queen Mother You refused and sneered.

"Then let it stay in the grassland. The grassland is General Yu's home. It is certainly a good thing for him to be able to return home." Xia Jing hinted at something and ran away after saying that.

Empress Dowager You was indeed furious: "Catch that little bastard!"

The palace maids and eunuchs could not catch up with Xia Jing. Yuhe came back to report that the ninth prince had escaped.

Queen Mother You rubbed her forehead and thought about the boy's words with a serious face. After a moment, she burst out laughing.

Yuhe looked at the Queen Mother in astonishment, thinking that the Queen Mother was mad at the Ninth Prince.

Empress Dowager You had experienced many ups and downs, so how could she be angry because of Xia Jing's words? Most of her anger just now was pretended.

She sighed, "That boy really holds a grudge."

There is no grudge between Cining Palace and Jingyixuan. This grudge was inherited from Shuiyun Palace and Ning Wanjun.

The most difficult thing to inherit in this world is hatred. Even the closest friends and family find it difficult to continue hatred, let alone small hatreds and grudges.

Empress Dowager You suddenly felt a little envious. She stood up, went to the study, used a brush as a whip, dipped it in ink-colored pepper water, and whipped the paper hard.

"You left that little bastard here. He's becoming increasingly unruly. For your sake, I'll spare him today. But do you know what he's done today..."

After escaping back to Jingyixuan, Xia Jing glanced at Empress Dowager You's interpersonal interface.

Compassion: 58 → 60

His eyes widened.

Why is it still rising!

He knew that Queen Mother You didn't care about this little bit of insolence, but he just thought that her kindness would not decrease. The fact that it was increasing on the contrary was really beyond his expectations.

A Kindness of 60 indicates a strong relationship, comparable to an average relationship between a grandparent and a grandchild.

In the future, if he got into trouble, Empress Dowager You would take the initiative to intervene without him having to plead. Of course, this was only limited to minor matters.

If throwing Xia Jing away could bring great benefits, Empress Dowager You would not hesitate, just like Ning Wanjun.

I don’t know how much Empress Dowager You likes Ning Wanjun.

After going to Shuiyun Palace to practice martial arts for a while and learning the basic sword skills, Xia Jing returned to Jingyixuan.

During dinner, the system finally popped up the settlement interface.

You performed exceptionally well in the Spring Hunt, garnering the attention of Emperor Kangning and the attention of a few of his ministers.

Unlike large tasks, the highest evaluation for this type of serial small tasks is A, and the reward should be one of three options.

Xia Jing looked down and saw that it was indeed the case.

【Task evaluation: A】

Please choose one of the three rewards below.

1. Treasure Map (One Thousand Pieces of Gold)

【2. Wish Paper Crane】

【3. Sweat Amber (can be specified)】

First, let's get rid of the thousand taels of gold. He is a prince, and money is of little use to him. Unless it is as huge as the national budget, it would be a loss to choose him.

The wish paper crane is an old friend, so I’ll keep it as a backup.

Sweat Amber...

Xia Jing sighed.

[Sweat Amber (Specifiable): Amber wrapped in sweat, imbued with the power of time and hard work. After using it, you will gain the experience of ten years of dedicated research in a specific area. The area can be specified.]

In layman's terms, it is to improve skill experience, but it only improves mental experience, cannot improve physical strength, and cannot be used for special skills.

Xia Jing wondered if there was anything he needed to improve on.

It would be nice to improve my experience in political struggles, but there is no such option.

As for the rest, martial arts? Literary talent? These are useful, but they will be useful in the future, not now.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Jing chose Sweat Amber.

He didn't plan to use it himself, but to give it to Xiao Tianzi. The Imperial Stables was an important place, and Ning Wanjun's arrangement for Xiao Tianzi was very suitable. Unfortunately, Xiao Tianzi's martial arts talent was not high, and his development seemed very limited. He could only give Xiao Tianzi some cheats as a young master.

The aptitude for practicing martial arts is mainly reflected in two parts: one is the understanding of the moves, and the other is drug resistance.

Yes, drug resistance. Everyone's absorption of medicinal baths is roughly the same; there's no essential difference. The same medicinal bath recipe will inevitably become less effective the more it's used. In the end, the only thing left to see is who still has the secret recipe and who can continue to improve.

Except for a few drug-resistant geniuses, everyone is basically the same.

Only the understanding of the moves can significantly and significantly widen the gap between martial artists, even exceeding the gap in drug resistance.

It's like the difference between a rookie and a master player in a game, there's a world of difference between them.

And the sweat amber can add ten years of gaming experience to Xiao Tianzi.

These ten years are a real decade, equivalent to about twenty years for ordinary people.

It’s enough for Xiao Tianzi to stand out.

Of course, it can’t be given directly to Xiao Tianzi.

Xia Jing looked at Xiao Tianzi's interface.

【Loyalty: 84】

When Xiao Tianzi was practicing martial arts, his loyalty exceeded 80. Now, after a winter, it has reached 84.

After entering the 80s, the rate of increase slowed down a lot.

It's just right to use this sweat amber to give it a big boost.

It doesn't need to reach 90, as long as it is close to 90, it is loyal. If we make an analogy, it is about the level of Guan Yu to Liu Bei. He is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han, protecting his sister-in-law and returning home.

At that time, some things can be entrusted to him with confidence.

After dinner, Xia Jing thought for a while and made a plan.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly got up and went to the yard to look at the stars. The palace maid who was on guard did not suspect anything and helped the ninth prince put on his clothes quietly. She walked around the yard and passed by the ear room where Xiao Tianzi slept.

Beneath Xia Jing's clothes, the beads of the dreamcatcher shone slightly.

Odazi's dream is obtained.

Back in the warm bed, Xia Jing quietly watched Xiao Tianzi's dream.

He had never seen such a boring dream.

Get up, work, pay respects to the Ninth Prince, go to the Imperial Stables to practice martial arts, get scolded by the master, eat, practice martial arts, go back to Jingyixuan, stare at Honeysuckle and sulk, eat, and sleep.

My goodness, this is not a dream, this is a portrayal of the life of a corporate slave!

Xia Jing felt a little pain in his liver when he thought of the past that he didn't want to look back on.

Be nicer to Xiao Tianzi in the future.

He picked up the feather, poked the bead, and modified the dream.

Chapter 95 The Temptation of Eunuch Tian

Xia Jing thought that this time the dream project had to achieve three goals, the same as Xiao Jida's.

First, give sweat amber, second, increase Xiao Tianzi's loyalty, and third, add some mystery to yourself. Throughout history, all emperors like and will not refuse to deify themselves.

Although feudal superstitions are harmful to people, they are really useful!

Besides these three points, Xia Jing had another thought. As his top general, Xiao Tianzi's subjective initiative was too poor, too restrained, too lazy, and lacked ambition, just like the young people who were lying flat in the system in their previous life.

How can this be possible? I, the ninth prince, can't even lie down!

What's more, if you want to develop in the Imperial Stables, you must have ambition.

Following these four key points, Xia Jing completed the dream modification. The beads shattered, and the dream turned into a faint light, which passed through the dark night, penetrated into the ear room, lay on Xiao Tianzi's forehead, and scattered into a group of light spots.

……

Xiao Tianzi had long forgotten his real name, surname, given name, where he lived, where his parents were, all these memories of the past were buried deep in the dust.

If he is willing, wielding a shovel and digging for a long time, he may find some memory fossils, or perhaps even discover a well-preserved memory tomb.

But he didn't want to. If those memories were beautiful, why would they be buried in the dust? Why would he bother himself with such trouble?

He lay down in the dust, smelling the stench of exhaustion and hunger, and tamped the earth with his feet.

He'd lived through hard times, very hard times, so he found his current life incredibly sweet. He had a lovely little master, though he often frightened him, a warm home with kind companions, and a promising future, though still requiring effort. With such a life, what more could he ask for? What could he possibly be dissatisfied with?

Occasionally, he would feel a bit worried and melancholy. Especially the things that happened during the day, which made him extremely embarrassed. A man couldn't stand a little palace maid, challenged her to a fight and lost, causing the Ninth Prince to worry. How unbecoming!
