"Brother Jing, come and see what this is, it's such a big bug!" Ning Xuenian's exclamation sounded not far away.
Xia Jing walked over and exclaimed.
The girl stood in front of a large brown vat, which was half filled with sand. A dry tree trunk was stuck in the sand, and a small yellow-brown lizard was lying on the trunk.
Xia Jing waved to the eunuch in the menagerie and asked, "What is this?"
"Your Highness, this is a stone dragon. It was sent from the eastern border and just arrived. It seems to be a breed from the State of Yan." The eunuch answered respectfully.
Sand lizards were originally called skinks in ancient times, Xia Jing thought. They were sent from the Eastern Territory, species from Yan. This was a great victory for the Eastern Territory, and they also found a batch of rare and exotic animals.
Regardless of ancient or modern times, regardless of China or abroad, when arriving at a new place or conquering a new continent, people like to bring back local specialties.
Xia Jing is only interested in African specialties and has a general feeling about sand lizards.
"Take it out." Xia Jing ordered.
The eunuch reached out and carefully took out the sand lizard. He held it high, not wanting the Ninth Prince and Seventh Princess to touch it.
"Ninth Prince, Seventh Princess, this little fellow is very fierce and might even be poisonous. Just watch him from a distance," he said carefully.
If it had been the Seventh Princess who had given him the order, he would have refused outright and not taken the sand lizard out. But the Ninth Prince was different. The Saker Falcon obeyed the Ninth Prince's orders. If they disobeyed him, they would be in grave danger. Furthermore, which eunuch working in the menagerie wouldn't admire the Ninth Prince for having so easily tamed the Saker Falcon?
"Take it over there." Xia Jing pointed in a direction.
The eunuch held the sand lizard and walked about ten steps in the direction Xia Jing pointed.
Ning Xuenian wanted to catch up, but Xia Jing grabbed her shoulders and said, "That big bug isn't that interesting. The good stuff is here."
He pointed to the large vat and told Honeysuckle, "Go get a bucket of water."
In a moment, the sand castle of the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Princess was built.
How can lizards be as fun as sand?
The eunuch held the sand lizard in his arms, staring at the scene in amazement. The sand lizard flew into a rage, ready to fight the thieves who had destroyed its home. The eunuch pinched its mouth, immobilizing it.
——The lizard is currently guilty.
……
In the imperial mausoleum, Concubine Yu, wearing a plain palace skirt, walked in panic on the wide road.
She kept turning her head and looking around, behind the wall, on the trees, in the pool, in the clouds, and especially in the shadow of the sun.
She looked around nervously like a hamster that had smelled the scent of its natural enemy but had not yet found it.
Her steps were so fast that the palace maids behind her could not keep up.
"Master, slower, slower." The maid whispered.
Lady Yu walked faster and she saw a black dot moving across the sky.
"What is that!" she asked the maid.
The maid looked up and was stunned for a moment: "My lord, it's an eagle and a cat."
Lady Yu looked back and saw that the black spot was moving very fast and had already reached the sky above the imperial mausoleum. It was indeed an eagle and a cat hanging from the eagle's claws.
What kind of strange combination is this?
"Meow meow meow!" General Coal commanded General Jade to dive at low altitude.
When the basket was close to the ground, it leaped and landed steadily on the ground.
It circled around Yu Meiren, confirmed the target's presence, and then ran to the grass nearby.
After a moment, it ran back to the open road, calling for air support.
General Jade swooped down again, and General Coal jumped back into the basket.
"Meow!"
The location is marked, Eagle, let's go.
General Yu turned around and returned to the palace.
Yu Meiren breathed a sigh of relief. Although this combination was quite odd, neither the eagle nor the cat looked bad.
Judging from the direction they are moving, it seems to be the imperial palace?
When Lady Yu thought of Jingyixuan and her past life, her heart gradually calmed down.
Chapter 102 Take my punch!
"Meow meow meow!" General Coal jumped onto the table and told Xia Jing the mission process.
"Hmm? Hmm, so that's how it is." Xia Jing nodded, frowned, and clapped his hands and sighed from time to time.
Yi Qiu looked at him in surprise: "Young Master, can you really understand what General Mei is saying?"
Xia Jing nodded: "I don't understand."
Yi Qiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't organize his words for a moment. Two kinds of information were fighting in his head, and his eyes and ears couldn't match each other.
If you understand, you nod; if you don’t understand, you shake your head. What’s going on? Nodding while not understanding at the same time!
"I don't understand it, but I can understand the meaning." Xia Jing explained.
Yi Qiu blinked, feeling that the young master was making fun of him: "How can you understand the meaning if you don't understand it?"
Xia Jing sat on the Arhat bed, moved the small table away, and patted the seat next to him.
"Are you tired, young master?" Yi Qiu walked over, sat next to Xia Jing, put his arm around the boy's shoulders, and let him rest his head on her legs.
"I didn't say anything, how did you understand what I meant, sister?" Xia Jing looked up at her.
He climbed up and killed the chicken for the coal general who jumped onto the couch and meowed.
Yi Qiu looked at the man and the cat, frowned and thought. What the young master said seemed to make sense, but it also seemed like something was wrong.
Giving up thinking, she took advantage of General Coal's enjoyment and secretly touched him twice.
"Meow!" General Coal stopped her hand and pushed it away forcefully.
People, please respect yourself.
Xia Jing finished pressing the "Meow Kill Chicken" button and immediately stopped.
General Coal was still not satisfied, and kept rubbing Xia Jing's hand with his head and gently biting Xia Jing's fingers.
Xia Jing pushed it open.
Cat, please respect yourself.
After spending a cup of tea and being sure that he couldn't get extra time, General Coal stood up, tidied his hair, and left with regret.
Xia Jing sat on the couch, holding his chin, thinking about what to send to Concubine Yu in the imperial tomb and what kind of letter to write.
"What are you thinking about, young master?" Yi Qiu was free today and tried to tease Xia Jing.
Xia Jing ignored her and moved his body, turning his back to her.
Yi Qiu failed to persuade Xia Jing with words, so he took action and poked Xia Jing's face with a finger.
Seeing that the boy did not resist, she became bolder and directly hugged the boy in her arms, pinching his face, rubbing his hands and touching his head.
Her palm moved down, slid across Xia Jing's cheek, and touched his chin. She bent her fingers and scratched it gently, just like Xia Jing had just scratched General Coal.
"...?"
Xia Jing turned his head to look at her, and she looked away guiltily.
Xia Jing clenched his fists.
"Ouch!"
After being punched by the Ninth Prince, Yi Qiu was expelled from the house.
Xiao Yue and Concubine Xian were whispering in another room. She had nowhere to go, so she could only sit on the steps at the door and stare blankly.
The palace maid brought her some tea, and she took a sip, sighing at the peace in the world.
A few months ago, she was so busy with work at Jingyixuan that she couldn't sleep well, but now she actually has time to drink some tea.
She glanced towards the east side hall, thinking of Concubine Yu and then of Concubine Rong.
Rongpin is dead, and no one knows what happened to Yu Meiren.
After drinking a cup of tea, she heard some movement in the inner room. Xiao Yue and Concubine Xian came out and they had finished their conversation.
Handing the tea bowl to the palace maid beside him, Yi Qiu walked behind Xiao Yue.
"Where is Jing'er?" Xiao Yue asked.
"My lord, the young master is in the room." Yi Qiu replied.
What Xiao Yue and Concubine Xian talked about in the room was not only Ning Shouxu's affairs, but also Xia Jing's affairs.
At the beginning of next month, when classes start in the study room, Xia Jing’s study partner should be decided.
"Your Empress Xian has found one for you and invites you to go out of the palace to meet him someday." Xiao Yue said while hugging Xia Jing.
The choice of Xia Jing's study companion fell to the Xue family.
"Okay." Xia Jing nodded.
It didn't matter who his study companion was. He was not an ordinary little prince and did not need a study companion's care.
"This study partner is someone you want to study with. You have to choose someone you like and someone who makes you happy to study with. If you don't enjoy it, you'll miss out on your studies!"
Concubine Xian talked about the importance of a study partner, giving an example: "When the Fifth Prince was young, Concubine Duan didn't choose a good study partner for him. He made many disturbances and refused to go to the study. Later, after a new study partner was chosen, he became much better."
Xiao Yue nodded.
Concubine Xian took Xia Jing from her arms and pinched the boy's cheeks: "Jing'er, go and take a look. If it's not suitable, change it."
"Thank you, Empress Xian." Xia Jing put his arms around Empress Xian's neck and kissed her on the face, making her smile.
The matter of the study companion was settled at the end of the month. Xiao Yue looked at Empress Xian and the second thing could be discussed.
"There's one more thing." Concubine Xian held Xia Jing and rocked her, frowning slightly. "Jing'er, please go out of the palace and find out about your third brother for me. I've made all the arrangements. When you come back, just tell me what happened."
The conversation between Empress Xian and Ning Shouxu was not smooth.
She said that she wanted to declassify the girl from the Sun family, and Ning Shouxu agreed. She then said that she would accept the girl from the Sun family first, and then take her as a concubine after the marriage. Ning Shouxu did not say anything.
The daughter of a criminal cannot become the prince's consort. Since ancient times, there is no logic in taking a concubine before marrying a wife. One must marry a wife first before taking a concubine.
Empress Xian had a good plan. Although the title of concubine sounded bad, it was still a title. For the sake of this title, the girl from the Sun family had to help her urge Ning Shouxu to find a wife.
Empress Xian didn't expect that the plan would come to a standstill at Ning Shouxu's step. The child neither objected nor agreed.
Empress Xian was unsure, so she planned to find out more about the situation. Xia Jing was one of her spies.
Xia Jing nodded and patted his chest: "Don't worry, your Majesty, Jing'er will definitely find out everything."
"Thank you for your hard work, Jing'er." Concubine Xian touched Xia Jing's head, "When Jing'er comes back, the Queen will have a gift for you."
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a gift or not, Xia Jing values something else.
[After the Third Prince gets married, he will become a prince, participating in government affairs and influencing the court and the people. His marriage will also, through him, exert influence on the court and the people.]
[Growth Mission: Spread your reputation in the government and the country]
[Stage Task: Pulling the Red Rope]
[Mission Objective: Find a sweetheart for the Third Prince]
Growth tasks come quickly.
In the game, there's virtually no information about the Third Prince's wife. No matter how large the game is, it can't possibly be this detailed. The Third Prince is a supporting character in the early stages, and by the latter stages, he's practically invisible, taking up no game resources.
Xia Jing remembered that according to the game, Ning Shouxu did not obey the order of Emperor Kangning and marry a daughter of a noble family until he was in his twenties.
The game never mentions the Sun girl. If it were in the game, Xia Jing would have to buy the story expansion pack to play the emotional story between the Sun girl and Ning Shouxu. Now it's free, what a steal!
Inquiring about the Sun family girl and leaving the palace to visit a tutor were both tasks, both happening at the end of the month. Before that, Xia Jing planned to establish preliminary contact with Concubine Yu.
And Huijing, the intimacy level of 79 that has not been moved for a long time can also be moved.
Chapter 103 Power Module Opened
After playing with Xia Jing for half an hour, Empress Xian spent some time with Xiao Yue and then returned to Fuqing Palace.
