Xu Zhongde thought for a moment and knew the answer, but he shouldn't have known it.

"Your Majesty, after Dalang and Erlang, it's Sanlang's turn!"

"Hahaha, you slave, I believe they can't guess it, but can you not guess it?" Emperor Kangning shook his head and put the things away.

"Hurry up." He urged Xu Zhongde to push faster.

He is waiting to go back and study these things!

"By the way," he reminded her, "if the Third Prince comes looking for you, do you know what to say?"

Xu Zhongde nodded: "Your Majesty is very busy these days and has no time to see the Third Prince."

"What if he asks about these things?"

"I forgot where I put it. I'll send it to the Third Prince when I find it."

"Not bad." Emperor Kang Ning stroked his beard with a smile.

……

Ning Shouxu's world is falling!

It didn't matter what bamboo sticks, flower ropes, or Xia Jingti's weird questions. Even the wheelchair itself didn't matter. Ning Zhixing could do it again anyway.

But his Rubik's Cube is the only thing in the world! Without the materials, Ning Zhixing can't make it!

He lay in bed, feeling hopeless and hating his bad habit of keeping everything around him.

Seeing his dejected look, Sun Jingzhu sat beside the bed to comfort him. She guessed what Ning Shouxu was missing and felt helpless.

"The emperor must have forgotten. I'll go get it back tomorrow," she said.

"You don't understand him. He can't possibly give it to me." Ning Shouxu shook his head.

"Would it be troublesome to make another one?" Sun Jingzhu asked again.

"The Rubik's Cube can no longer be made." Ning Shouxu sighed.

He turned to look at the girl. After a few words with her, although the problem was not solved, Ning Shouxu's mood had improved a lot. He looked at the girl's left hand. Her fingers were slender and white, soft and cool to the touch.

Nanny Yuan came to the rescue and took out another bundle of bamboo sticks that the Ninth Prince had thrown there.

She thought with relief that with Miss Sun around, the Third Prince no longer had to play the bamboo stick picking game with himself.

……

In Jingyixuan, Xia Jing patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Who could have expected that when I went out at night, I would meet Emperor Kangning!

Fortunately, the sacrifice of the third brother earned the forgiveness of Emperor Kangning.

Xia Jing made the sign of the cross on his chest and observed three seconds of silence for Ning Shouxu.

He thought again that other things could be put aside, but the wheelchair was more important.

I remember that the fourth prince had several defective wheelchairs.

Xia Jing called Xiao Tianzi and rushed to Guanlanzhai.

……

Yonghua Palace.

Ning Xuenian curled up in Yunpin's arms, her little face flushed, her big eyes full of energy, and she was not sleepy at all.

Yunpin's sleepiness was disturbed by her, so she gave up trying to sleep and asked, "What did you do when you went out?"

Ning Xuenian thought for a moment and replied, "A dark alley, a woman in the wall, eyes in the darkness, and my father racing his car."

“……?” Concubine Yun was confused.

"The dark alley is too high and too narrow, the woman in the wall is Honeysuckle knocking on the wall from behind, the eyes in the darkness are General Coal, and the racing father is the father in a wheelchair." Ning Xuenian explained briefly.

Yunpin was even more confused.

She thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. "Talk about them one by one, starting with your father."

Her voice was the only sound in the darkness. Ning Xuenian, who had been full of energy just a second ago, had already fallen asleep.

Only Yunpin was left curious in the dark, regretting why she asked.

Chapter 125 So innocent?

【After your efforts in matchmaking, Ning Shouxu finally faced his own feelings for the first time.】

【Task settlement】

Xia Jing woke up at noon with disheveled hair and sleepy eyes, looking at the prompt box in front of him.

He rubbed his eyes, making sure that what he saw was not an illusion, and was horrified.

Although my actions last night were indeed to bring you together, how did that mission end? You were just frightened last night and briefly touched my hand, right?

Just touching a little hand makes her imagination soar that she even thinks of a name for her little grandson? Is she that innocent?

Or, after you returned home at night, did you do something secretly without my knowledge?

Xia Jing touched his chin, very suspicious.

He looked at the task interface again and clicked on settlement.

【Task evaluation: B】

Is it just B? It turns out that just touching the little hand isn't enough.

[Please choose one of the two rewards below]

1. Treasure Map (100 dan of grain and grass)

【2. Wish Paper Crane】

[It is detected that the task may continue. Should we temporarily not settle it?]

Xia Jing didn't hesitate and clicked "Don't settle for now".

It doesn’t matter if the evaluation is just B. Although there are multiple options for A, you can still only choose one. But what if the Ninth Prince has amazing luck and creates an excellent option?

He pondered, Ning Shouxu has already realized his feelings for Sun Jingzhu, so why is his mission evaluation still only B?

The mission goal is to find Ning Shouxu's ideal partner. A Grade B evaluation means that Ning Shouxu has not yet fully admitted that Sun Jingzhu is his ideal partner.

Why not admit it fully?

Xia Jing's mind flashed back to the relationship-related stories he'd read on Xiaohongshu. Don't ask him why he'd read so much of it. In a previous life, to make extra money, he'd created a bunch of Xiaohongshu accounts, posting about bizarre boyfriends/girlfriends, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, and stories about their origins. The endings ranged from the refreshingly slapped-in-the-face to the utterly pathetic.

You know what, these kinds of posts are really useful. Later on, Xia Jing was too lazy to manage his own account, so he specialized in helping people create accounts, which made him money faster.

This is getting off topic. Xia Jing rubbed his head and continued to think about Ning Shouxu.

There is no doubt that Sun Jingzhu is Ning Shouxu's beloved. Ning Shouxu does not admit it. There are only two possibilities.

First, he felt that Sun Jingzhu could not give him the kind of love in idol dramas; second, he felt that he could not give Sun Jingzhu the kind of love in idol dramas.

This world has not yet been poisoned by idol dramas. When it comes to marriage, people don't talk about things like emotional value or handing over wages. They only care about getting married in a formal way - so this is the reason.

Sun Jingzhu is the daughter of a criminal. This term is not quite accurate. The official who committed the crime is not from Sun Jingzhu's family. Strictly speaking, she should be the niece of the criminal.

With this identity, even if she was freed from the status of a slave, Ning Shouxu still could not marry her properly and could only take her as a concubine.

Xia Jing lamented the innocence of his third brother and felt a little resentful.

You are innocent, but it is your ninth brother who suffers!

Xia Jing was thinking about how to make Ning Shouxu less innocent, or in other words, how to resolve the obstacles on Ning Shouxu's road to innocence.

Sun Jingzhu is the niece of a criminal, so maybe there is something that can be done here.

As long as she is free from guilt, the rest will be easy to solve. Although being the principal wife is a bit difficult, being a concubine is not a big problem.

And there are only one and a half people who can help Sun Jingzhu escape from his guilt.

One is Emperor Kangning, and the other half is Empress Dowager You.

Xia Jing was not familiar with Emperor Kangning, so he turned his attention to Empress Dowager You.

Fortunately, he had already told Empress Dowager You about Sun Jingzhu.

Convincing Empress Dowager You, and then having Empress Dowager You persuade Emperor Kangning to exonerate Sun Jingzhu's family, involves many steps and will certainly take a long time. But it doesn't matter.

The mission is just to find Ning Shouxu's ideal partner, not to make them get married. The only thing is to make Ning Shouxu firm in his belief.

First go to Empress Dowager You to test the waters, and then confront Ning Shouxu.

After swiping away the task interface, Xia Jing looked at the interpersonal interface again.

The intimacy between Ning Shouxu and Sun Jingzhu increased slightly, reaching 75 and 69 respectively.

He flipped through the log and found that another character had increased in intimacy, that was Xu Zhongde. Ignoring the temporary intimacy, the main character's intimacy reached 60.

Why did Eunuch Xu's popularity rise? Was it because his wheelchair-riding posture was so cool last night that he was impressed?

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

Xia Jing looked at the time and found that the price had gone up before last night. Calculating the time, it should have been after he gave Huijing the handmade soap.

"...?"

He opened Ning Shouxu's phone and tapped on it. "Look at Eunuch Xu! If you had half the ability of Eunuch Xu, would I still be so busy running around like this?"

"Young master, you're awake!" Yi Qiu poked his head into the room and said in surprise when he saw the boy sitting there.

After washing and changing clothes with her help and having a fusion breakfast and lunch, Xia Jing jumped off the chair and went to the Cining Palace to find Empress Dowager You and lead the way for Ning Shouxu.

Yi Qiu put her arm around his waist and stopped him.

She stroked the boy's hair, "Where are you going, young master? It's time for class. You're already late all morning."

Sitting on the sedan chair, the Ninth Prince supported his chin, squinted his eyes, and looked very unhappy.

He wondered what had gone wrong in him to arrange for himself to enter the study room in advance.

There was no other way. The Ninth Prince had not yet established Concubine Xian's smuggling channels and could not enter and leave the palace at will. Judging from the situation at the time, the only channel for him to contact the outside world was to go to the study.

I didn't expect life to move so much faster than planned.

"Young master, we're here." The eunuchs squatted down, put down the sedan chair, and carried Xia Jing down.

Xia Jing walked to the window of the study, climbed in as if he was familiar with the place, and sat in his seat without anyone noticing.

Zhang Zanyu looked up and found that there was a new prince in the room, and he had already gotten used to it.

He took a piece of paper and asked the ninth prince to write it down from memory. After confirming that it was correct, he hit Xue Zhaoju with a stick, and the matter was over.

After school, Xia Jing didn't rush to the Cining Palace. He called Xiao Tianzi, changed into casual clothes, and left the palace.

The handmade soaps have received rave reviews, so he wants to make some more. Just one peach blossom scent is too monotonous, so he wants to develop a few more to use in rotation.

In the courtyard of the Xue Mansion, he sat on the steps, holding his chin, and directed Xue Zhaoju and Xue Zhixi to take action.

This time they made a lot of them, so the brother and sister were busy for a long time.

Xue Zhixi stared at the soap drying stand. In her eyes, it was pure silver. She could use it to find a wife for her eldest brother, replace her mother's cold and hard winter quilt, save some money for her second brother's writing materials, and save the rest. She could secretly take it out every day to look at it and have fun.

She was nervous, not knowing whether the Ninth Young Master would send her off after this was done.

She sold the last piece of handmade soap to Xue Zhenzhen and made a full profit of five taels of silver!

"Go back." Seeing that Xia Jing had no new instructions, Xue Zhaoju asked his sister to leave first.

Xue Zhixi bowed to Xia Jing and left the courtyard.

Xue Zhaoju walked to Xia Jing's side and glanced at the row of handmade soaps. In his eyes, they were pieces of white paper. All kinds of knowledge could have been written on the paper, but they were just left blank.

He asked Xia Jing, "Ninth Prince, why are you unwilling to spend your time on important matters?"

He finally found the opportunity and asked this question.

Xia Jing looked at him as if he was a fool. Nonsense, studying is not as interesting as playing.

Of course, we can't tell the truth to this King of Rolls.

Xia Jing stood up, patted his butt, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, put his hands behind his back, and chanted: "Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge. The true and solid knowledge is action; the clear and careful action is knowledge..."

Xue Zhaoju was surprised. He didn't expect that such serious words would come out of the mouth of the Ninth Prince, who was not doing his job properly.
