The villain prince is three and a half years old

There are actually two items that are treasure maps!

However, both armor and resources are extremely useful.

A thousand sets of armor and a thousand-man army were enough to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

However, the resource points on the treasure map are too random. Although Xiao Jieda can go and get them, it will be difficult to explain where the armor came from after he gets it.

As for resources, they are generally mineral deposits, perhaps salt mines or iron mines. They are generally small in scale. Large resource points can only be obtained using a resource map, not a treasure map.

Xia Jing hesitated for a moment and chose three.

He can't use the treasure map, and the resources he finds are difficult to mine, but he can give them to others.

It wasn't him who gave it, but Xiao Jida.

This cheap uncle's official position is still too low, I have to find a way to raise it.

In a few months, it will be Emperor Kangning's birthday. Giving a mine that he cannot use at home at this time is really a sign of his wealth. How can Emperor Kangning not be dizzy and spend money to give Xiao Jieda a promotion and a raise?

If it is a useful mineral, keep it for yourself first.

Xia Jing made up his mind.

Xia Jing had to draw the treasure map himself, so he was not in a hurry. He covered himself with the quilt and wanted to take a nap. However, because he had been thinking too much and was too energetic, he could not fall asleep for a while.

He simply stood up and started thinking about drawing a treasure map at the desk.

Like a blank design map, the treasure map also depicts a reduced terrain. However, unlike the precision of the blank design map, the treasure map only has three templates - mountains, water, and plains. In the upper right corner of the treasure map, there is also the name of the state.

That is to say, you can only control which state the treasure map is in, and whether it is at the foot of a mountain, by the water, or on a plain.

Jingyixuan didn't have any maps. In ancient times, maps were strategic resources. When two countries were at war, the most common thing spies did was to survey the enemy's land and draw maps.

After washing up and having breakfast, Xia Jing ran to the Cining Palace.

Queen Mother You must have a map.

Not only that, it's also quite detailed. The only problem is that the painting is a bit abstract, and Xia Jing needs Empress Dowager You's guidance to understand what those patterns and symbols represent.

The place in the southern border is called Yunzhou, which has many mountains and rivers.

Xia Jing took note and returned to Jingyixuan, where he tried to draw a detailed topography and fix the location of the mine in a valley.

The extraction failed, so I can only follow the instructions in the game.

He casually drew a mountain, wrote clouds on it, and extracted it again.

This time the extraction was successful.

[Treasure Map (Silver Mine): A hidden mine in the deep mountains of Yunzhou.]

Silver mine! In ancient times, silver was the most important currency. Owning a silver mine was equivalent to possessing the power to print money.

Xia Jing was very excited and wanted to stay, but gave up the idea after a moment.

There would be better things in the future, so doing well now was more important. Besides, if he left it there, no one would mine it. It would be better to use it to bribe Emperor Kangning and get Xiao Jida a high-ranking official position, ideally getting him involved in the affairs of the Chu State.

Chapter 146 The world is going downhill!

Xia Jing looked at the treasure map. The simple mountain lines did not turn into a professional geographical map. The true location of the silver mine could only be checked when he fell asleep.

Putting the treasure map into his small box and locking it, Xia Jing thought that it was time to go meet the sisters from Yan State.

Thinking of the tomboy Yan Nanque, Xia Jing sighed.

Fortunately, Yan Nanque came as a hostage, not a captive, and the sisters brought a group of palace maids and eunuchs from Yan State. Otherwise, if the palace maids and eunuchs from Ning State got close to them, there would be no possibility of hiding.

Xia Jing now only hopes that Yan Nanque's gender can be kept secret for a while longer, as long as it takes until after the Chu State launches that surprise attack.

Emperor Kangning's birthday was before the raid.

According to Xia Jing's plan, he would first ask the sisters from Yan about Chu. It would be best if he could obtain relevant information about the surprise attack by Chu. If he couldn't, he would find a way to make it up himself.

Then tell Emperor Kangning to prepare his troops, interrupt the surprise attack by the State of Chu, and kill the possibility of the State of Chu's rise.

This is the main quest, and there is an optional quest in the middle, which is to wait for Emperor Kangning's birthday and let Xiao Jida deliver the silver mine to get the opportunity to go to the State of Chu and make military achievements.

After thinking through the entire plan, Xia Jing stood up.

"Where are you going, young master?" Yi Qiu walked in with a plate of apples.

After winter, fruits begin to ripen, pastries step back into the background, and various fruits and vegetables compete to appear on the stage.

"Just stroll around." Xia Jing picked up the peeled apple, ate two pieces, and left Jingyixuan.

The hostage of Yan State lived in Tongde Palace, which was behind Cining Palace.

Xia Jing did not go to Tongde Palace, but went to Yonghua Palace first.

Ning Xuenian was sitting on the steps in a daze. When she saw Xia Jing come in, she jumped up excitedly and jumped up while holding the boy's hand.

It’s not good to go to Tongde Palace alone, so I’ll ask Ning Xuenian to go with me. Besides, Yan Nanque is still in the study, so I’ll go after class.

Xia Jing rubbed her head and greeted Concubine Yun who was walking over: "Good morning, Concubine Yun."

Yunpin rubbed the boy's head and asked Luhua to bring some fruit, which were big red round beads.

"It's lychees!" Xia Jing was surprised.

Lychees don't grow in Beijing, so if you want to eat them, they need to be shipped from the south. Because of the long journey, lychees easily rot, so what's usually shipped are dried lychees, fried lychees, air-dried lychees, or candied lychees. But in the wooden box Luhua held, there were juicy, fresh lychees.

"I have elders at home in Lingzhou, so I found a way to send it here." Yunpin peeled one and stuffed the flesh into Xia Jing's mouth.

She took out about twenty pills from the cloth bag and tied them around Xia Jing's waist. "The imperial physician said it's not good to eat too much. Come back tomorrow to get more."

This is for Xia Jing to bring back. The food eaten in Yonghua Palace is not included.

"Thank you, Empress Yun." Xia Jing was delighted.

This is a good thing and is extremely popular even among the concubines. Concubine Yun gave him so much and also allowed him to dine in unlimited amounts in the Yonghua Palace. She was very thoughtful.

Concubine Yun also sighed that the Ninth Prince was very kind.

Half a year ago, when the Ninth Prince and Nian'er first met, Xiao Yue was only a Zhaoyi, and Jing Yixuan was at the bottom of the harem.

At that time, Nian'er's status was much higher than that of the Ninth Prince, and the status of Yonghua Palace was much higher than that of Jingyixuan. Being on good terms with Nian'er and Yonghua Palace would benefit both the Ninth Prince and Jingyixuan.

Now, half a year later, Xiao Yue was promoted to concubine, and Jing Yixuan got acquainted with Fuqing Palace, Cining Palace, Nian'er and Yonghua Palace. They were no longer useful to the Ninth Prince and Jing Yixuan, and even had disadvantages, as Yonghua Palace was a descendant of Concubine Duan.

After hearing that the Ninth Prince was going to enter the study, Concubine Yun realized that Nian'er and Jing'er were probably drifting apart.

Perhaps she accidentally revealed some words that made Nian'er want to enter the study, and she even asked the emperor for permission. Because she was not allowed, she was sad for a long time.

What she didn't expect was that even after going to the upper study, Xia Jing would often come to Yonghua Palace to play with Nian'er.

At this point, this relationship is no longer driven by external forces, and relies purely on the feelings between the two children.

This touched Yunpin's heart.

[Intimacy: 78 → 80]

After swallowing the sweet and sour lychee, Xia Jing looked at the interpersonal interface.

Strange things happen every year, but there are especially many today. First, the task was completed inexplicably by itself, and then I ate a lychee, and the favorability of the person who gave the lychee soared, and I directly passed the 80 mark.

Yunpin went out. Besides Concubine Duan, she also had several sisters. The lychees had just arrived today, and she wanted to share some of them.

Luhua also went out. She also wanted to send lychees, twenty to the Cining Palace, twenty to the Kunning Palace, and none to the Yangxin Palace - how could a concubine send food to the emperor?

Xia Jing and Ning Xuenian were playing in the yard. He peeled a lychee and stuffed it into Ning Xuenian's mouth. The girl ate the flesh, spat out the core, put it on her slingshot, and shot it out, hitting the leaves. She turned her head and smiled at Xia Jing.

Xia Jing also learned from the girl the reason why his mission was completed. Yunpin was always well-informed, and Ning Xuenian happened to hear it.

Last night, Emperor Kangning added a reward to the Little Red Flower rules.

——The prince who receives the most red flowers every ten days can go to the Yangxin Palace and have dinner with Emperor Kangning.

You know, even the Crown Prince rarely has the chance to dine privately with Emperor Kangning!

Xia Jing was amazed, saying that one should not underestimate the ancients. Look, Emperor Corning learned it all by himself and made a 'Bill Gates' dinner'.

The difference is that Bill Gates used money to auction the dinner qualification, while Corningdi used red flowers to auction the dinner qualification.

In his previous life, Gates' dinner could be auctioned for millions of dollars. In this world, Emperor Corning's status is much higher than his. Although the situation is different, this dinner is enough for the concubines to surpass their own princes and win the little red flower!

Emperor Kangning was quite wicked. He judged the dinner by the total number of small red flowers, not the number of big red flowers. If he used big red flowers, a prince would get big red flowers for five or six days, and then become lazy after a guaranteed victory. But with small red flowers, it would be impossible to tell who was the winner until the very last moment!

Xia Jing couldn't imagine how stubborn the princes in the upper study would be because of this rule.

Fortunately, he excluded himself from the red flower system, so no matter how hard they try, they can't get involved with him!

It shouldn't get to me, right?

Xia Jing was a little panicked. He could delete his name, and Emperor Kang Ning could also add his name.

Originally, the little red flower system was just a minor issue, and Emperor Kangning could allow the Ninth Prince to operate outside the rules. Now that it has become such a big thing, it would not look good if another one slipped through the net.

How many days had it been since he last went to the study? The Ninth Prince swallowed his saliva and decided to go tomorrow. He couldn't skip classes so blatantly in the future, so as not to attract the attention of Emperor Kangning.

When the sun was setting in the west, Xia Jing remembered important matters and pulled the girl out of Yonghua Palace.

"Where are we going?" Ning Xuenian asked Xia Jing.

She knew this was the road to the Cining Palace, lowered her eyes, slowed her pace, and felt a little apprehensive. Although the ice had been broken at the birthday party, the girl was still a little afraid of Empress Dowager You.

"We're not going to the Cining Palace, we're going to the Tongde Palace," Xia Jing replied.

"Tongde Palace?" Ning Xuenian frowned and thought hard. Where is Tongde Palace?

In short, it’s better not to go to the Cining Palace.

Before he got close to the Cining Palace, Xia Jing saw one of his targets when passing by the Imperial Garden.

That was Yan Nanque who had just returned from school. The girl was wearing the clothes of a prince and was standing in the imperial garden with her head lowered, motionless.

She didn't dare move because the two princesses blocked her in the middle.

Xia Jing pulled Ning Xuenian along and hid behind the pavilion's pillars to observe. The pillars were not wide, so the two children squeezed together and stuck their heads out.

"Who are those two princesses?" Xia Jing asked Ning Xuenian.

"The tall one is Ning Yitao, and the short one is Ning Peixiang." Ning Xuenian replied.

Ning Yitao is the fifth princess, the daughter of Concubine Xi, and Ning Peixiang is the fourth princess, the daughter of a Zhaoyi. Both girls are in their early ten years old.

"What are they doing? Bullying people?" Ning Xuenian frowned as she looked at the three people not far away.

Xia Jing listened for a while and then smiled, "They want to be good friends with Prince Yan."

"Prince Yan, what a coincidence, you are also in the Imperial Garden. How about we go for a walk together?" Ning Yitao lowered her head and looked at Yan Nanque with a smile.

"Sisters, there are delicious food here!" Ning Peixiang took out a handkerchief, opened it, and revealed two pieces of Dingsheng cakes.

"Thank you, princesses. I'm not hungry. My sister is still waiting for me in the palace. I'll go first." Yan Nanque wanted to avoid the two princesses.

Ning Yitao and Ning Peixiang took half a step forward and blocked Yan Nanque again.

"Why is Prince Yan so anxious? If you are worried about your sister Dugu, how about I send someone to call her over?" Ning Yitao said again.

"Is Prince Yan shy? Don't be afraid, your sisters are not bad people." Ning Peixiang followed.

The two men took a step forward, and one of them grabbed Yan Nanque's hand: "Let's go to our palace to play. If you're lucky, you can meet General Coal!"

Chapter 147 Sister's Hostility

"I...no!" Yan Nanque struggled, but how could he, a young boy, be a match for the two older kids?

"Prince!" Yan Nanque's maid shouted anxiously.

Four palace maids surrounded her tightly, and she could not go to rescue her own prince. She could only watch as the two princesses picked up their own prince and walked away with a smile.

The struggle of their own prince was like a kind of fun, which made the two princesses laugh.

"Isn't this just bullying?" Ning Xuenian put her hands on her hips and looked at Xia Jing.

It was difficult for Xia Jing to explain to her the difference between bullying and harassment.

If Yan Nanque was really a prince, really 'Yan Nanzhi', the Ninth Prince always liked to help others succeed, and would definitely turn a blind eye and let the little Prince Yan suffer the bullying of the Ning sisters.

But Yan Nanque was not a prince, but a princess. The behavior of Ning Yitao and Ning Peixiang teasing her suddenly became abstract.

If the two princesses are not satisfied with verbal teasing and start touching Prince Yan... oh no, then things will get lively.

Xia Jing still needs Yan Nanque to provide information and cannot let Yan Nanque be exposed.
