In the afternoon, he went to the Imperial Stables to practice martial arts with a swollen face. After the master asked him some questions, he scolded him severely and asked him to practice more.

He felt even more mediocre.

He fell asleep with regret.

After waking up, he got up as usual, put on his clothes and opened the door.

"Godfather!" Four young eunuchs rushed in, held him up and manipulated him like a puppet.

One held a towel and helped him wash his face, one held a comb and combed his hair, one kneaded and massaged to loosen his muscles, and the other flattered him and kept saying nice things.

After they finished, the four of them brought breakfast, including Taishi Cake, Green Tea Cake, Red Bean Cake, Eight Treasures Cake, Cloud Cake, Green Bean Cake, and a bowl of bird's nest for rinsing the mouth.

After eating, he went to the Imperial Stables, where another group of young eunuchs surrounded him, calling him "godfather" and asking for his guidance. He casually gave them some pointers, and the young eunuchs were overjoyed, their martial arts improving by leaps and bounds. Finally, one of the young eunuchs knelt down, crying, and asked why his godfather hadn't scolded them. Was it because their talents were too poor and he had lost his patience?

He could only recall the words his master had scolded him, and he scolded the young eunuchs, who smiled as if they had received praise.

He had lunch at the Imperial Stables, which was filled with delicious fish, meat, and seafood. After the meal, he dealt with government affairs. He watched the eunuchs, who usually seemed so arrogant and bossy, now grovelled to him like a Pekingese, barking and begging him for favors.

He coped with it in a daze.

As the sun was about to set, he left the Imperial Stables amidst the crowd's farewells and returned to the gate of Jingyi Pavilion in a daze. A palace maid told him that the young master wanted to see him.

He followed the palace maid into the door, but the surroundings were unfamiliar. They walked around in circles for a long time.

Is Jingyixuan this long and this big?

I looked up and saw the decorations around me, which were shining with gold. This - could only be used in the emperor's bedroom!

When they arrived at a room, the palace maid opened the door and let him in.

He walked in nervously. In the spacious hall, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a bright yellow robe, was sitting with his head down reading a book. At his feet, a girl with long red hair and a red palace skirt was massaging his legs.

Who were the boy and girl? Where was his young master? He looked around but could not find any trace of the Ninth Prince.

"Did you have a good day today?"

The young man suddenly spoke, which scared him and he knelt down quickly.

Although we don't know who the young man is, he must be an extremely powerful person, and this ridiculously large palace is proof of that.

"Comfortable." As he answered, he thought of today's experience, the admiring eyes of the young eunuchs, and the flattering smiles of the eunuchs.

He added: "It's very comfortable."

He heard the sound of pages turning, and the boy laughed: "It's a pity that you don't have the qualifications. This comfort will never be yours."

The voice floated in the hall, turning into loss and entangled him.

His face turned pale. Yes, everything that just happened had nothing to do with him. That was the life of the powerful. Only eunuchs with outstanding martial arts skills, a quick mind, and the protection of their masters could enjoy such status and treatment.

He felt reluctant and unwilling, but he was helpless and had no idea what to do. He was just that mediocre.

He realized this was a dream, that this impossible thing could only happen in a dream. He projected his resentment and anger onto the boy, angry that he had made him experience the wonders of power and then cruelly told him the truth.

He raised his head and looked at the boy above him. The boy put down the book and looked at him with a smile.

He was stunned.

That face...that familiar face. Although it had changed with age, he was no stranger to it!

"Young Master!" He suddenly felt inspired and kowtowed to the young man, "Young Master, please teach me!"

After a moment of silence, footsteps were heard. The boy walked in front of him, and he realized that the boy had no shadow.

The young man rolled up the scroll and knocked on his head three times: "Go back."

Xiao Tianzi was startled and opened his eyes suddenly. The sunlight pierced his eyes and the world was white.

Covering his eyes, he waited for his vision to return, then looked around. It was an ordinary room, and he was an ordinary man. He opened the door, but it was empty, with no eunuchs rushing in.

It's a dream.

He sat dejectedly on the bed, laughing at his own wishful thinking.

He sighed deeply and patted his face. The dream was over, and it was time to return to life. He was already much happier than before! He thought, I got up late today, I have to go and apologize to the young master.

He quickly made the bed and folded the quilt. When his hand touched the pillow, he felt a chill.

A small piece of amber lay quietly under his pillow. It was not his.

He thought of the end of the dream, when the grown-up master knocked him on the head three times.

Does that mean that the thing is under the head?

He gently pinched the amber, and with a little force, the amber turned into fragments and disappeared.

He screamed, covered his head, and fell to the ground.

Xia Jing had General Mei send amber and was waiting when he heard Xiao Tianzi's voice and rushed over immediately. He was shocked to see Xiao Tianzi lying on the ground motionless.

Using sweat amber in the game only consumes a lot of energy, but I haven't heard that it will cause fainting.

However, it is not surprising that a large amount of energy consumption leads to fainting.

He asked the eunuch to lift Xiao Tianzi up and put him on the bed. Xia Jing then sent another eunuch to the Imperial Hospital to call for help.

Although I know that Xiao Tianzi will be fine, I still have to go through the necessary procedures.

In the Imperial Hospital, Wen Daosheng, who had not been able to work for a long time, gladly accepted the order, came over to examine Xiao Tianzi, and prescribed a prescription for replenishing qi.

"Thank you, Doctor Wen." Xia Jing said with a smile.

The eunuch next to him handed over some small change.

After receiving the reward, Wen Daosheng thanked him enthusiastically.

He sighed. Half a year ago, he was reluctant to treat the Ninth Prince because he felt it was a loss of face. But now, even if Jingyixuan asked him to see a eunuch, he would come over happily!

Wen Daosheng understood the principle of not despising the young and poor, but the Ninth Prince was no teenager either! How could a child be so capable!

He thought again, it has only been half a year and it has become like this, there should be further improvements after some time, right?

The next rank above the prince is the crown prince, and the next rank above the concubine is the imperial consort. These positions are already occupied, so promotion is not easy.

Chapter 96: Plan to Tame the Little Palace Maid

What prince and concubine? They are the emperor and the empress dowager!

Xiao Tianzi woke up and recalled the content of his dream. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

That ridiculously large Jingyi Pavilion is clearly the Yangxin Palace! That young man in bright yellow clothes is clearly the future Emperor!

Was it a dream or a summons from the Divine Emperor? Xiao Tianzi couldn't tell.

But he knew that the extra experience in his mind was particularly real.

With no one around, he stood up and threw a set of punches. The originally obscure parts became smooth, and the originally stiff muscles were still stiff.

Experience is in memory, but the body still needs to be practiced by itself.

He thought back to his master's teachings and felt that his master's boxing skills were just so-so.

With this experience, all that remained was hard work. Given time, he could become a rising star in the Imperial Stables and wield power.

The little master in the dream really fulfilled his wish.

Xiao Tianzi's heart was pounding, not only because of his own future, but also because - his young master would move into the Yangxin Palace in the future!

He had already recognized that dream as the future. The future young master had summoned him and given him mysterious powers, allowing him to better serve the young master!

He was amazed again. He had always heard that the emperor was the Son of Heaven and had true dragon blood, but he never thought that the rumor was actually true!

If not, how could the future young master have such power?

Thinking of this, he became even more respectful.

Loyalty: 84 → 89

A five-point increase? Average, no surprises.

In the main hall, Xia Jing looked at Xiao Tianzi's interpersonal interface and felt a little disappointed.

Although I thought before that as long as I could get close to 90, who doesn’t want life to give them unexpected surprises?

Xia Jing raised his hand and was about to close the interpersonal interface when he suddenly saw that the loyalty column had changed.

[Piety: 89 → 91]

"...?"

Wow, it went from a political victory to a religious victory!

In the game, piety only appears if you take the religious route, but the religious route DLC hadn't been released yet!

Is this to let him play in advance?

Just as he was confused, Xia Jing heard some noise outside the door.

It’s not Xiao Tianzi, it’s Ning Xuenian who is here.

After failing to get a place in the study, the girl returned to Yonghua Palace and cried all day. Only today did she calm down and come to find Xia Jing.

Behind the girl was Luhua. Luhua was very happy. What good was it for a princess to enter the upper study? A visit to her parents was the real grace. Moreover, she was Yunpin's personal maid. When Yunpin left the palace to visit her parents, she could also go out for a stroll.

"Let's go play slingshot." Ning Xuenian pulled Xia Jing's hand.

Chun Shouli discovered the effectiveness of the slingshot, and the girl's already strong enthusiasm was further intensified. Besides, her younger brother Jing had to go to the study room. If she didn't seize the time to play now, she would have less time later.

"By the way," she pulled out a letter from her bosom and said with her hands on her hips, "This was dictated by Luhua."

This is a letter to Ning Wanjun.

Xia Jing took it, put it aside, and remembered that he hadn't written it yet.

Go get other people's things first and take a peek at them secretly.

When Xia Jing was writing essays in elementary school, he always liked to take a look at what others had written before he started. This wasn't to copy material, but to confirm that his classmates' writing was poor, so he could feel free to give it a try.

After hanging up the letter, Xia Jing took Ning Xuenian's hand and went to the Imperial Garden together.

The newly sprouted buds on the branches of the imperial garden suffered from the troubles of two little devils.

Luhua watched from the side, yawned, and turned her head to look at the figure coming over.

That's Odakko.

"I heard that you fell ill? Are you okay?" Luhua asked.

"That's not a disease, it's a call from God." Xiao Tianzi said seriously.

"...?"

Luhua was confused and was about to ask when the two children finished eating the tender leaves and were about to move on to another battlefield.

She hurriedly caught up with Ning Xuenian and put her arm around the girl's waist: "Princess, let me hold you!"

Ning Xuenian reached out and hugged Luhua's neck, feeling happy.

Xiao Tianzi came to Xia Jing and knelt down, his expression solemn and his words respectful: "Young master, please get on my back."

Ning Xuenian looked at Xiao Tianzi, then at Luhua, and felt unhappy.

Lu Hua hugged herself like a coal general, while Xiao Tianzi knelt like a warhorse begging the general to set off. It was obvious who was better!

"Try again!" Ning Xuenian refused and asked Luhua and Xiao Tianzi to learn.

Lu Hua reluctantly came back, carried Ning Xuenian on her back, and secretly glanced at Xiao Tianzi.

What the hell are you doing?

She thought that Xiao Tianzi was just rolling up the back ceremony, but she didn't expect that Xiao Tianzi was opening the roll in all directions.

The Ninth Prince shouted, "Hurry!" and Xiao Tianzi took off running. He asked for some fruit, and Xiao Tianzi climbed up the tree. He retrieved all the stones shot from his slingshot to ensure the Ninth Prince had enough ammunition. He passed by the imperial kitchen and immediately took out two boxes of cakes for the Ninth Prince.

Ning Xuenian looked on with envy, and then urged Luhua to study. Luhua was forced to open the book, feeling grief-stricken and angry.

It's not that these things shouldn't be done, but there's no need to take them so seriously. The young master didn't even urge you, so why are you going all out? Lu Hua couldn't understand. She had never hated a hardworking eunuch so much.

After a tour of the harem, Xia Jing collected the letters from Ning Zhixing and Ning Shouxu.

In Guanlanzhai, Luhua finally found an opportunity to get close to Xiaotianzi.

She gritted her teeth: "What are you crazy about!"

Xiao Tianzi did not answer, and his eyes did not look away, just like the Terracotta Warriors in the imperial mausoleum.
