The villain prince is three and a half years old

"Where did you hear that? It's so weird." Ning Shouxu shook his head and got rid of the excitement.

The youngest princess in the palace was already two years old, and there were no babies at all.

"If you can't find it, you'll have to rely on your own efforts." Xia Jing clenched his fists and encouraged him. "That's it. If you don't have any instructions, I'll be leaving first."

As he said this, he was about to leave Yanghexuan.

"Wait." Ning Shouxu grabbed his arm.

"Huh?" Xia Jing asked in confusion.

"What's going on with building sand castles in the zoo?" Ning Shouxu looked at Xia Jing reproachfully.

There's a new way to play, and you didn't tell me?

Xia Jing was speechless, suspecting that Ning Shouxu would secretly play with the child after having one.

He had originally planned to go to Yonghua Palace to take a look. Today was the day that Concubine Yun was leaving the palace, and they had probably already left. Ning Xuenian held his hand reluctantly yesterday, as if he was the one who was leaving.

He changed his itinerary, called Nanny Shangyuan, and pushed Ning Shouxu to the zoo.

This was the third prince's first visit in three years, and the eunuchs in the menagerie were very nervous.

Ning Shouxu stood up with the help of the eunuch, looked at the skink in the sand tank, and suddenly had an idea.

"Time passes by and I grow old. The water fills the sandbank, where can I find fragrant grass? Xiang Lei is awakened and his song is not over yet. The stone dragons have finished dancing and the pine wind blows in the morning." He recited a line of poetry.

Xia Jing was puzzled, but Ning Shouxu nodded and said with a smile, "What a nice skink! Come on, move this big tank to my yard. I love this little guy very much."

Xia Jingya felt a little sour.

Do you like skinks? You want to play with the sand in the tank!

Otherwise, he is the third prince, and he can speak so elegantly when he comes to find a toy!

Chapter 105: The Ninth Prince

In the dark and narrow space, a lamp suddenly lit up, and the light pierced Sun Jingzhu's face. She squinted her eyes and looked at the two figures sitting behind the lamp.

"Name."

"Sun Jingzhu."

"gender."

"Female."

"age."

"Eighteen."

"Wow, it's an older sister relationship! I didn't expect that serious and strong guy actually has a fragile heart that wants to be embraced by a gentle older sister!"

The figure in the darkness seemed shocked, and Sun Jingzhu was confused. What did "sister-brother relationship" mean? And what was that extremely fast part about?

More importantly, who is the other party?

The next evening, she went to work at the houseboat and, as usual, sat in the room waiting for a customer to call her. The customer soon arrived, and her mother led her to this room.

Then she was pulled into this dark little space and pressed onto this cold, hard chair.

"Do you know why you were called here?" The voice behind the lamp sounded again.

"Play the piano?" Sun Jingzhu asked cautiously.

Her job is to play the piano. She rarely responds to customers, so her sales are very poor. Fortunately, there is an unknown customer who always quietly sends her flowers.

The other party sneered and raised his tone: "Don't you know what you have done wrong?"

Sun Jingzhu recalled the past few days' experiences and asked cautiously, "Is it because you ate an extra piece of osmanthus cake a few days ago?"

"Is there any osmanthus cake here? Remember to buy a plate later." The figure asking the question said to the figure next to him.

After a moment, the other party turned back to her and slammed the table. "You're talking nonsense, so cunning! Let me ask you, what did you secretly take that night?"

"I stole it?" Sun Jingzhu pointed at herself. After all, she was educated and wouldn't do such a despicable thing.

"You stole it, don't you know?"

"What did I steal?" Sun Jingzhu was confused.

"You stole it, you stole it," the figure said excitedly in the first half of the sentence, then suddenly slowed down in the second half, "You stole—my third brother's heart!"

Sun Jingzhu heard a "pop" sound, and the figure on the right laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

The figure on the left who was asking the question slammed the table in anger and stared at his companion on the ground: "I told you that Honeysuckle should come. You are so abominable. I'm going to complain to my mother!"

"This slave knows his crime, but I can't help it, hahaha."

"Stop playing, light the lamp!"

The candlelight burned through the darkness, revealing two people hiding inside. Sun Jingzhu was surprised. She thought the two people in front of her were adults, but she didn't expect that the only one lying on the ground laughing was a delicate and beautiful child.

The interrogation lamp made of bronze mirrors was taken away. Without the glaring light, Sun Jingzhu was finally able to open his eyes.

She looked at the two people in front of her, one big and one small.

The older one was still laughing, his shoulders twitching from time to time.

The younger one was very angry: "I'm going to tell my third brother!"

"No, I know I was wrong!"

Yi Qiu quickly covered her mouth. In her memory, Ning Shouxu's cold eyes flashed, like a knife, grazing across her skin.

"Who is the third brother?" Sun Jingzhu had no impression of the two, the big and the small, and felt that the third brother was the key person.

"Keep it secret." Xia Jing did not expose Ning Shouxu and sat down again.

He crossed his fingers and rested them on his chin, intimidating Sun Jingzhu with his aura.

The Ninth Prince, the secret agent of the Imperial Palace, begins to carry out the secret order of Concubine Xian!

Originally, Xue Renli and he should have formed a spy team, but unfortunately, two days ago, Brother Li was severely punished by the old lady for stepping out of the house with his left foot first. He was beaten with a stick and has not recovered yet.

There was no other way but for the Ninth Prince to go to the meeting alone, feed the tiger with his own body, and find out the truth on his own.

Xia Jing narrowed his eyes, trying hard to show his majesty.

Sun Jingzhu was unmoved and even reached out to touch Xia Jing's head.

Xia Jing pushed Sun Jingzhu's hand away. These older women always liked to touch his hair and pinch his face. He didn't know what kind of bad disease it was.

"Do you have a lover?" Xia Jing continued to ask.

"No." Sun Jingzhu shook his head in a calm tone.

"Is there anyone who has a crush on you?" Xia Jing asked again.

“There was for a while, but then it was gone.”

Some people came because Sun Jingzhu was beautiful, and some people disappeared because Sun Jingzhu ignored them. The customers who came to the painting boat didn't just come for the looks.

This is the same as Xia Jing's live broadcast in his previous life. Appearance is just the basis. There are many beautiful girls, but an interesting soul is the killer.

"Among them, is there anyone who impressed you?" Xia Jing wanted to know whether Sun Jingzhu and Ning Shouxu had met each other.

Sun Jingzhu shook his head.

It looks like I've never seen it before, otherwise I wouldn't have no impression of it.

Xia Jing sighed, this third brother is a role model in the anchor fan community, he only gives rice, does not get entangled, and even does not go to the fan meeting.

He frowned again. Since Ning Shouxu didn't even want to meet Sun Jingzhu, why would he agree to Concubine Xian's plan to rescue Sun Jingzhu and make her his concubine?

Or was it that Ning Shouxu was not prepared to take the last step at all?

In addition to the checks and balances of power, political intrigues also have another important part - deception.

Use one purpose to cover up another purpose, use one position to cover up another position, borrow people with other purposes and other positions to help yourself achieve your goals. Once the goal is achieved, you will overturn the table and tear down the bridge.

This is also the side of power that distorts people's hearts.

Ning Shouxu only planned to rescue Sun Jingzhu, not to marry her. Therefore, Sun Jingzhu is not even seen in the game.

Xia Jing sighed, the gloomy and childish third brother turned out to be such a pure and innocent character.

He is concerned about his childhood sweetheart who is in trouble. After her falls into prostitution, he transforms himself into a hidden financial sponsor and plans to rescue her, but is also prepared to release her back into the sea.

Xia Jing thought, if this were posted on some website, it would be a story about a disabled prince being forced into love. A touch of yandere, a touch of coercion, a mixture of love and hate, a sense of being both noble and disabled, a sense of childhood sweetheart being both pure and worldly. Closeness burns, distance brings longing, deep affection leads to doubts, and separation brings a reluctance to part.

Shaking off the melodrama in his head, Xia Jing continued to watch Sun Jingzhu.

"Do you remember what happened before?" he continued.

This was to find out whether she had any feelings for Ning Shouxu.

The Third Prince wanted to release Sun Jingzhu back into the sea, but the Ninth Prince disagreed. How could he let Ning Shouxu succeed so easily when it came to his little mission?

Since the Third Prince doesn't want to force love, he, the Ninth Prince, has to help his Third Brother force love!

Sun Jingzhu thought about it carefully for a while and shook his head.

"How could I not remember? Tell me about your previous playmates. Maybe I can tell you about their current situation. Aren't you curious?" Xia Jing patted his chest.

Sun Jingzhu shook his head, rejected Xia Jing's inquiry, and put forward his own conditions.

She raised her hand again and reached in front of Xia Jing's head: "Touch one question."

This sentence sounded very familiar. Xia Jing had said it many times in his previous life, but this was the first time he was said by someone else.

For the sake of my third brother, I have no choice but to make a sacrifice.

Chapter 106: Got Caught While Visiting a Houseboat

After saying goodbye to Sun Jingzhu and leaving the box, Yi Qiu looked at his young master worriedly.

She was confused by the questions, but she knew one thing clearly: Sun Jingzhu did not mention the third prince at all from beginning to end!

If you care about someone, how can you resist mentioning him? The Third Prince's love affair is in danger!

"Young master, what should we do?" Yi Qiu couldn't help but ask.

Xia Jing waved his folding fan and glanced at her: "Why are you worried? Isn't it good?"

Yi Qiu was stunned. What was good about this?

Fortunately, Sun Jingzhu's intimacy has increased.

[Name: Sun Jingzhu]

【Age: 18】

[Identity: Musician of Jiaofang Division]

[Intimacy: 49 → 67 (+10)]

I just talked to her for a while and scared her before, why did the intimacy increase so much?

What's more, there is a temporary intimacy of +10 at the end.

This change in intimacy increased when Xia Jing vaguely mentioned Ning Shouxu.

Everyone lies, especially beautiful women. The questioning was just Xia Jing's disguise. From the beginning, he had no intention of confirming anything through conversation.

What he really looks at is the change in intimacy.

This was also a kind of political maneuver. Everyone thought that he was just asking questions, so Sun Jingzhu only hid his words but not his inner thoughts.

How could Sun Jingzhu not know about Ning Shouxu's existence?

Places filled with women like this are prone to gossip. Just like the laundry, secrets are hard to come by in a pleasure boat. The visit of a man without legs would surely spread, reaching Sun Jingzhu's ears.

As long as the girl is not stupid, she can guess who that person is and then guess who the secret financial backer is.

When questioning, Xia Jing mentioned "Third Brother". Sun Jingzhu must have known his identity, so their intimacy increased so quickly.

The increase in intimacy also proves that this pair of childhood sweethearts have feelings for each other, and only when you love someone can you love their dog.

The problem is, that childhood sweetheart doesn't want this relationship, and this childhood sweetheart has been pretending to be stupid.

Fortunately, they met Xia Jing, the living matchmaker and the first Cupid of the Ning Dynasty.

Empress Xian's plan had to be changed. The method of rescuing Sun Jingzhu first, removing her status as a slave, finding an organization to affiliate her with, and then seconding her to the Third Prince's Mansion would not work, as Ning Shouxu would stop the last step.
