The Ninth Prince was very angry, and it took Concubine Shu a cup of tea to comfort him.

After giving up control over General Yu and General Mei, Xia Jing fell asleep peacefully, as he had important things to do tomorrow.

Although Ning Shouxu's mission has been completed and the rewards and wish coupons have been obtained, the Ninth Prince is a child with ideals and morals, and there is also after-sales service.

Ning Shouxu was thinking hard yesterday. The prerequisite for playing the emotional card with Empress Dowager You is to have feelings for her. Xia Jing happened to have a way, but it was not mainly for Ning Shouxu, but for Sun Jingzhu.

When Xia Jing woke up in the morning, he was not late for a rare occasion and sat down in the study on time.

Zhang Zanyu felt a little uncomfortable and glanced in Xia Jing's direction from time to time, suspecting that he was seeing things.

Xia Jing also felt that this did not fit his personality. He did not want to be considered a good student, as a good student had to abide by many rules.

At noon, the Ninth Prince disappeared after lunch.

Zhang Zanyu felt relieved.

The Ninth Prince, who had skipped classes, was in the Cining Palace, drinking tea in the pavilion in the back garden.

Queen Mother You is tending to her crops.

Xia Jing drank half of the tea, ran to Queen Mother You, and gave her the other half.

"Grandma, this is too hard." He looked up at the sun in the sky.

As spring deepens, the sun becomes more scorching.

"You know how hard I work, so why don't you come and help?" Empress Dowager You wiped her sweat, looked at Xia Jing, and spoke rudely as always. This was her character.

Xia Jing immediately shook his head: "I'm still young, I'm too tired to grow taller."

He picked up the small hoe: "I can only help a little."

"Okay, you can't do the weeding. Just sit down and have some tea." Empress Dowager You took his hoe.

Empress Dowager You didn't really want Xia Jing to help. This was a few months ago. The weather has warmed up recently and the sun is very strong. If you stay in the sun for too long, it will hurt your body.

"Why didn't grandma let Xiao Huzi and the others help?" Xia Jing asked.

Empress Dowager You was silent for a moment, then replied, "The late emperor liked to plant things in the back garden."

This sentence was incoherent, but it answered Xia Jing's question.

This is a custom left by the previous emperor and a royal sport. How can it be handed over to eunuchs and palace maids?

Xia Jing crossed his arms and thought for a long time: "Then how about asking the third brother to help?"

"Even if he is willing to come, can a man without legs do these jobs?" Empress Dowager You shook her head.

"I'm so young and grandma is so old, but we can both go to the fields to work. Why can't my third brother do it?" Xia Jing whispered devilishly.

"That's true." Empress Dowager You straightened up and thought seriously.

"Besides," Xia Jing waved his hand, asked Empress Dowager You to squat down, and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "Third brother and fourth brother have a good relationship. If he can't finish the work, he can ask fourth brother to do the hard labor."

Empress Dowager You was a little tempted. Not only because someone would do the dirty work, but also because she thought the Third and Fourth Princes were both good. If it was an unpleasant prince who came, Empress Dowager You would rather be tired herself.

"But," Empress Dowager You frowned, "how can we get the Third Prince to obey?"

Although Empress Dowager You was strict, harsh and a little sarcastic, she was a good empress dowager and never forced others to help her with work.

Xia Jing smiled sinisterly: "Don't worry, grandma, I have a plan, it's called - hold the buns to control the pigs and monkeys!"

"He is using the emperor to control the princes." Empress Dowager You patted his head, wondering who the 'baozi' Xia Jing was talking about was.

After a moment, she understood.

An old man and a child squatted in the field, laughing sinisterly.

Chapter 129 Miss Sun was arrested

A day had passed since the conspiracy between Empress Dowager You and the Ninth Prince.

Xia Jing estimated that the Queen Mother would complete the first step of her plan today, and a piece of "bad news" would befall Yanghexuan. He wanted to watch the fun, so he stayed in Yanghexuan, waiting to have a taste of the fun.

By the way, I gave Ning Shouxu the handmade soap that I had promised him before, and showed him how to play with soap.

He squatted in the corner and picked up a bamboo tube. He had prepared this bamboo tube yesterday and had left it in Yanghexuan overnight.

"What is this?" Ning Xuenian lay on Xia Jing's back and looked into the tube curiously.

There was a turbid liquid in the bamboo tube, with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms.

"Fun stuff." Xia Jing took out the prepared straw.

The grass stems are slender, hollow, and very absorbent, making them perfect for soaking in soapy water.

After soaking one end of the straw in soapy water, Xia Jing took out the straw, held the other end in his mouth, and blew gently on it.

A soap bubble slowly swelled up, flashing colorful luster in the sunlight.

Ning Xuenian widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed in amazement.

Ning Shouxu was a little disappointed, because he could blow bubbles with his saliva.

Just blowing bubbles is certainly not fun enough. The greatest pleasure of blowing bubbles is watching the bubbles floating in the sunshine and reaching out to poke the colorful bubbles under the blue sky.

However, the soap bubble on the straw burst before it could even break away, splashing all over Xia Jing's face.

The quality of bubble water made with only soap is questionable, and the bubbles lack tension, which needs to be compensated by technology.

"Let me play with it." Ning Xuenian shook Xia Jing's body and looked at him pleadingly.

"It hasn't worked yet." Xia Jing dipped his finger in the soapy water again, learned from his failure, and controlled the speed of blowing.

A crystal bubble floated in the sunshine.

Ning Xue Nian chased after the bubble and reached out to grab it, but the wind created by her body pushed the bubble away from her. She jumped up and her fingertips touched the bubble. The colorful ball of light shattered and soap foam fell to the ground.

The girl turned back happily and wanted to play with it, but the bamboo tube was already in Ning Shouxu's hand.

Just as she was about to make a fuss, Ning Shouxu blew a bubble and successfully diverted her attention.

After chasing for five times, Ning Xuenian finally remembered and turned back to fight with Ning Shouxu for the bamboo tube.

"Let me play with it!" The girl was very rude to Ning Shouxu.

"This is too difficult, you don't understand how to play it." Ning Shouxu raised his hands and refused to give it to me.

Xia Jing covered his forehead and sighed. The Daning Dynasty was hopeless. The most learned third prince actually started fighting with a little girl for a toy.

Making bubble water is a complex process, requiring hot water and then letting it sit overnight. Xia Jing didn't have time to make another batch, so he found another bamboo tube and another straw, divided the bubble water, and handed it to Ning Xuenian.

Bubbles, one after another, danced in the yard of Yanghexuan. General Coal swooped down from the eaves, jumped among the shining balls of light, and popped the bubbles with his claws.

"Over there, over there!" Ning Xuenian was very busy making bubbles and directing General Coal.

Ning Shouxu glanced at Ning Xuenian, made sure that the girl didn't notice him, hid the bamboo tube, and replaced it with an empty one.

He said to the girl, "I just gave you too much. I don't have any left."

Ning Xuenian had no suspicion of his intention and generously gave half of it to Ning Shouxu.

Xia Jing tutted his words. This Third Prince is such a bad guy, and this Seventh Princess is such a little fool.

He wondered why Ning Shouxu had hidden the tube of bubble water. Ning Shouxu had seen the entire process yesterday, so if it wasn't enough, he could make it himself.

Moreover, it is easy to get bored of blowing bubbles after a long time.

Unless he is not playing it for himself, but can't wait to share it with others.

It’s easy to guess who this person is, that is the third prince’s beloved - Sun Jingzhu.

Xia Jing looked at Ning Shouxu who was secretly delighted and observed a moment of silence for him.

The Third Prince was afraid that he could not give the bubble water to Sun Jingzhu, because Sun Jingzhu was probably no longer in Fuqing Palace.

"Master! Master!" The door of Yanghexuan was pushed open, and Nanny Yuan ran in hurriedly and knelt in front of Ning Shouxu.

The quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the yard disappeared in an instant, all the bubbles burst, and General Coal hid in the corner.

Ning Shouxu knew that what made Nanny Yuan so anxious must be a big deal, and a bad one at that.

He searched for clues in his mind and instantly locked onto two people, one was Empress Xian and the other was Sun Jingzhu.

He asked Aunt Yuan, "What happened?"

Xia Jing stood beside Ning Shouxu. Ning Xuenian closed the bamboo tube and was infected by the tense atmosphere.

"The Empress Dowager..." Nanny Yuan had just returned from Fuqing Palace and witnessed the entire incident.

"What's wrong with her?" Xia Jing urged.

"The Empress Dowager went to Fuqing Palace this morning and was received by Empress Xian. The atmosphere was good. Before leaving, the Empress Dowager said that she heard that a new musician had arrived at Fuqing Palace and wanted to meet him." Nanny Yuan started from the beginning, without any focus.

Ning Shouxu interrupted her: "What's wrong, Miss Sun?"

"The Empress Dowager said that the Cining Palace is very quiet and she needs someone who can play the piano, so she asked Miss Sun to go away!"

Nanny Yuan slapped the ground in grief. Sun Jingzhu was the lover of her third prince, and now she had been taken away by the Empress Dowager. They would be separated forever - although it had not come to this, it was not easy to enter the Cining Palace, and it would be difficult for them to meet from now on.

If I want to let Miss Sun leave the palace in the future, I have to get the approval of the Empress Dowager first. What should I do?

Nanny Yuan has limited affection for Sun Jingzhu, and what she is really worried about is the condition of her master.

"Master, don't be impatient..."

Nanny Yuan wanted to comfort Ning Shouxu, but when she looked up, she saw that the Third Prince did not have an anxious look on his face. Instead, his eyes were lowered, as if he was thinking about something.

Nanny Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Third Prince no longer liked Miss Sun?

Ning Shouxu was just not in a hurry.

If a few days ago, his impression of Empress Dowager You was still that of a stubborn old woman, he would have been horrified and distracted.

But now, he knew that Queen Mother You was not that old-fashioned and principled. He had always wanted to contact Queen Mother You, and now seemed to be his chance.

It might be a good thing that Sun Jingzhu went to Cining Palace.

However, why did Empress Dowager You suddenly take Sun Jingzhu away?

Ning Shouxu looked at Xia Jing. Xia Jing had told him before that Empress Dowager You was interested in Sun Jingzhu, but being interested did not mean she wanted to take him away.

"Do you know something?" He looked at the boy.

Not only do I know that this was planned by Xia Jing.

Xia Jing opened her innocent eyes and said, "Third brother, I don't understand what you are saying."

This made Ning Shouxu certain that the boy was involved.

"Thanks." He said softly.

Xia Jing pretended not to hear. He didn't dare to hear it, didn't dare to admit it. Otherwise, when Ning Shouxu arrived at the Cining Palace and found himself an old farmer in the fields, he would definitely make trouble for him.

Ning Shouxu looked at Nanny Yuan and said, "Get up. It's okay. She's doing well at the Queen Mother's place."

Nanny Yuan was skeptical and turned to look at the Ninth Prince. Seeing that he looked normal, she felt relieved.

Ning Shouxu noticed Nanny Yuan's gaze and felt depressed. Why was Nanny Yuan still worried even after he explained, but Nanny Yuan was relieved when Xia Jing said nothing?

Because in Nanny Yuan's mind, Ning Shouxu is the rebellious and awkward third prince, while Xia Jing is the well-behaved and considerate ninth prince. There is no doubt that the latter is more credible.

Ning Xuenian didn't know about the complicated relationship between Ning Shouxu and Sun Jingzhu. She only knew that Sun Jingzhu was taken away by the Queen Mother to be raised. She followed Xia Jing's example and made the sign of the cross on her chest to mourn for Sun Jingzhu.

Everyone in the palace knew that Empress Dowager You was difficult to get along with.

Looking at Ning Xuenian's reaction, Xia Jing thought that it was time to take the girl to meet Empress Dowager You.

When it comes to the prince's affairs, Empress Dowager You is not in a position to intervene, but when it comes to the princess's affairs, it falls within the Empress Dowager's purview. It's a good time to go check on the kidnapped "Baozi" Sun Jingzhu.

Xia Jing pulled Ning Xuenian along: "Come on, I'll take you to a fun place."

He didn't tell the girl that the place was the Cining Palace.

The girl had no doubts and ran after Xia Jing. When she saw the plaque of Cining Palace, she was still full of expectations and crossed the Cining Gate. She thought the boy wanted to take her to visit the Cining Palace secretly, which she found quite exciting.

It was not until she saw the face of Empress Dowager You that Ning Xuenian could no longer deceive herself.

She looked at Xia Jing sadly, finding it hard to imagine that her dearest brother Jing would actually harm her like this!

Empress Dowager You sat on the Arhat bed, drinking tea and listening to Sun Jingzhu playing the piano.

She glanced at Ning Xuenian and waved to Xia Jing.

"How is your third brother?" Empress Dowager You asked in a low voice.
