The villain prince is three and a half years old

"Grandma, dance for a while before we talk."

"This song sounds quite touching. What's its name?"

“The coolest ethnic style.”

"...?"

In the Cining Palace, square dancing from the previous life made its first appearance in this world.

A year later, Emperor Kangning was seriously ill, and Empress Dowager You's health was also declining, and she was dying even faster than Emperor Kangning. In order to slow down Empress Dowager You's death, Xia Jing used the powerful weapon of the old lady circle in her previous life.

The Cining Palace is very large, so there is no need to worry about disturbing other people.

Seeing that Empress Dowager You was familiar with the movements, Xia Jing pushed Yuhe over as well.

The reason why square dancing was so popular among the old ladies in the previous life was not only because it allowed them to exercise their bodies happily, but also because there was a group of old sisters doing it together.

There are no sisters of Empress Dowager You in the harem, and the concubines of the previous emperor are all in the imperial mausoleum, so they can only find palace maids to accompany her first, and then find an opportunity to transfer some of the old sisters in the imperial mausoleum back to accompany Empress Dowager You.

The Ninth Prince was very busy and had no time to come to the Cining Palace every day. Moreover, compared to a child like himself, Empress Dowager You and the old concubines had more topics to talk about.

He looked towards the open space and saw Empress Dowager You teaching Yuhe step by step. Yuhe had never learned to dance and was very restrained. Empress Dowager You was so angry that she kept calling her stupid.

During this instruction, Nanny Yuan pushed Ning Shouxu into the back garden.

Chapter 165 It’s time to start gossiping

Ning Shouxu frowned as he watched Empress Dowager You's strange movements and listened to Sun Jingzhu's strange music.

"What is this for?" he asked puzzledly.

"You're here just in time!" Empress Dowager You let go of Yuhe's hand and walked towards Ning Shouxu.

Ning Shouxu was confused, but out of respect for the empress dowager, he sat up straight.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager You walked around him and grabbed the hand of Nanny Yuan behind him.

"Come on, come on, you try it." Empress Dowager You gave up Yuhe and chose Nanny Yuan.

Nanny Yuan was flattered and didn't dare to neglect her. Although she was old and frail, she learned much faster than Yuhe.

Ning Shouxu pushed the wheelchair to Xia Jing's side, and the two brothers watched the two old ladies jumping around and exercising their bodies.

Ning Shouxu felt that this movement had neither the beauty of dance nor the power of boxing. It was really strange that it had nothing to do with either.

In fact, there is nothing strange about it. Exercise can make people happy and relieve depression. Since it is exercise, it is certainly not dancing or boxing. It is not about being watched by others or exercising muscles, but just enjoying it for yourself.

It can be said that this is something between dance and boxing.

"Empress Dowager, after moving around, I feel more comfortable all over." Nanny Yuan talked about her feelings.

"That's right. I go out for a walk every night, but no matter how much I walk, I never feel as refreshed as I do now."

"Empress Xian had the maid from the Palace Administration Department teach me a few sets of boxing techniques to strengthen my body, but after practicing those boxing techniques, my back pain has only worsened."

"That's right, I don't like to practice those either."

The two old ladies danced and talked about their health-preserving experiences, leaving Xia Jing and Ning Shouxu aside.

Sun Jingzhu played the music over and over again, and Empress Dowager You showed no intention of stopping. Ning Shouxu took the guzheng from Sun Jingzhu's arms, took off the artificial nails on her hands and put them on, and played for her.

Although his guzheng skills were not as good as Sun Jingzhu's, they were not much different, and he was much better than Xia Jing, who was learning for fun.

Xia Jing was surprised. He didn't expect that his third brother was so knowledgeable.

He thought of the time when Ning Shouxu and Ning Zhixing were together before, when Ning Zhixing mentioned some craftsman knowledge and Ning Shouxu could also chat about it.

This third brother has learned quite a variety of things.

Touching his chin, the Ninth Prince thought about the new tasks and thought that Ning Shouxu could help him share some of them.

Noticing Xia Jing's malicious gaze, Ning Shouxu's heart trembled and he looked around vigilantly, thinking that the boy was going to do something bad.

In the open space, Empress Dowager You jumped until sweat broke out on her forehead and stopped. Ning Shouxu smoothed the trembling strings and took off his artificial nails.

Xia Jing 'quietly' stretched out his hand and, under the gaze of Empress Dowager You and Ning Shouxu, slid his tortoiseshell artificial nails into his sleeves.

Ning Shouxu pinched the little prince's face and said, "This belongs to your elder sister Sun."

Xia Jing hurriedly took out the artificial nails and put them back on the table.

He touched the back of his head and said shyly, "I thought it was grandma's."

The corner of Empress Dowager You's eye twitched. Why did this sound so strange? Just because it's mine, can I just take it?

Sun Jingzhu covered her mouth and laughed: "If the Empress Dowager can take it, then of course I can take it too."

The girl picked up the artificial nails on the table and stuffed them into Xia Jing's arms.

Xia Jing looked at Ning Shouxu.

"What are you looking at me for?" Ning Shouxu was puzzled.

"I'm waiting for your consent as the head of the family!" Empress Dowager You glanced at Ning Shouxu.

There was no concealment of the sarcasm in these words.

Sun Jingzhu lowered her head and blushed. Ning Shouxu rolled over, turned his back to the crowd, and looked at the creeping chrysanthemum seedlings beside him.

"Third brother, why are your ears red?" Xia Jing asked in surprise.

Ning Shouxu quickly raised his hand and touched his earlobe. He felt a cool sensation under his fingertips, and his ears were not hot at all.

"You were fooled by that kid!" Queen Mother You laughed.

Ning Shouxu has always been steady, and it is rare for him to be fooled.

Nanny Yuan laughed heartily, not feeling shy for her master at all. Empress Dowager You's teasing was not just a teasing, but also a kind of recognition.

To identify with the future of Sun Jingzhu and Ning Shouxu, the head of a family must first have a family.

Ning Shouxu was angry but dared not say anything, and hurriedly fled amid the laughter of the crowd.

Xia Jing chased after him and followed him out of the Cining Palace.

Nanny Yuan followed behind from a distance. She knew what the two brothers were going to say and did not disturb them.

"Third brother, have you been busy recently?" Xia Jing asked about Ning Shouxu's schedule.

"I'm busy." Ning Shouxu refused quickly.

"Don't you want this anymore?" Xia Jing stretched his sleeve in front of Ning Shouxu and let him take a look inside.

Ning Shouxu stopped his wheelchair and looked at the boy in astonishment.

"Zhixing made a new one?" He couldn't believe that this thing was back in Xia Jing's hands.

That was the beloved Rubik's Cube that he lost during his night out.

He stretched out his hand to touch the thing he had been thinking about day and night. Xia Jing rolled up his sleeves and took two steps back.

"Grandma is going to give it to me when she comes back." Xia Jing tempted, "Of course you can give it to Third Brother, but Third Brother has to come and help me when he is free."

"What can I do for you?" Ning Shouxu asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but let's decide on it first." Xia Jing handed him the Rubik's Cube.

Ning Shouxu sensed a trap. He thought of Ning Zhixing, the Fourth Prince now spending all his time in the Craftsmen's Supervisory Office.

"I'm not as stupid as Zhixing." Ning Shouxu looked at Xia Jing.

"Third brother, just help me in your free time." Xia Jing pushed the Rubik's Cube forward again.

Ning Shouxu hesitated for a moment, took the Rubik's Cube, and the matter was settled.

Once it’s decided, you have no say over it.

Xia Jing leaned against the palace wall, folded his arms, and pretended to be very serious. "Foolish brother, you have stepped into my trap."

Do you think that Fourth Brother was forced to work so hard in optical research?

On the contrary, the Ninth Prince only provided some technical information from beginning to end. What made Ning Zhixing work so hard was his enthusiasm.

As a young man and a prince with ideals and aspirations, how could Ning Shouxu be willing to sit idle? In the game, Ning Shouxu slowly came out of the haze after marriage, and devoted himself to various kinds of work, working hard for the Ning Dynasty.

As long as Xia Jing comes up with a plan that suits Ning Shouxu's taste, Ning Shouxu will become obsessed with work like Ning Zhixing, spinning his wheelchair until smoke comes out.

As for the plan, Xia Jing also had a preliminary idea.

Ning Shouxu has a wide range of knowledge, which makes him suitable for work involving many fields, such as publishing a newspaper.

Running a newspaper is not the journalism of the past, where all the work was done by cutting and scissoring, and expressing emotions. In this era, those who can read are basically the wealthy and leisurely class. They live an easy and happy life, do not have to do so much work, and do not have so much anxiety. Emotions do not work well.

What they want is real knowledge, real intelligence, and - gossip.

No one doesn't like gossip, from the emotional problems of people around them to the political events in the neighboring country.

Gossip is a crucial ability that allowed Homo sapiens to develop from small settlements to large societies.

Whether it is knowledge and intelligence or gossip, it requires a knowledgeable and talented person to control it, and Ning Shouxu is just the right person.

This project will definitely increase the progress of many tasks.

However, before publishing the newspaper, the Ninth Prince still needs to examine the pre-conditioning technology.

Chapter 166 It’s me, Ning Xuenian!

Compared with the front-end technology, publishing a newspaper has more problems in another aspect - supervision.

Even in modern society, the business environment of cultural products is a controversial topic, let alone in this feudal era?

The nature of the newspaper industry is extremely sensitive. In ancient times, the imperial court was best at banning private salt and books.

Once the newspaper industry is established, problems will inevitably follow.

The Ninth Prince has no way to deal with these problems for the time being. Even Emperor Kangning cannot help him in such matters.

So he didn't tell Ning Shouxu the details and decided to wait a little longer.

Putting this matter aside, the Ninth Prince thought about today's schedule. After making sure that nothing happened, he went straight to Yonghua Palace. Ning Xuenian was extremely happy to see him and pulled her to find Ning Sisi and Yan Yushi.

Only then did Xia Jing realize that the girl and Yan Yushi also had a friendship.

……

As spring deepens, the spring rain becomes more lingering, no longer as anxious as it was in early spring.

Ning Xue Nian walked under the eaves, stretched out her hand, and the raindrops spread on her palm, and in an instant formed a puddle in her palm.

The rain is a bit heavy.

The girl withdrew her hand and ran back into the house.

She climbed onto the bed by the window, picked up the snow globe on the small table, shook it, and lay on the table to look at it.

Snowflakes fell slowly, covering the miniature courtyard below in a moment and submerging the ankles of the girl in the courtyard.

"Staring at that thing again." Yunpin hugged her daughter from behind, and the mother and daughter put their heads together, looking at the pure white snow globe together.

"Yeah." Ning Xuenian responded absentmindedly.

"You've been watching it for a month, and you're not tired of it yet?" Yunpin picked up the girl and held her in her arms.

“I never get tired of it.”

Ning Xuenian's eyes never left the snow globe. She shifted her body, finding a comfortable position to lie down.

"Indeed, I heard that even the Emperor never gets tired of it."

Yunpin picked up the snow globe and moved it back and forth in front of her daughter's eyes, and Ning Xuenian's head moved left and right.

This aroused her interest and she moved faster, up and down, left and right, back and forth.

Ning Xuenian didn't move. After Yunpin finished making a fuss, she bit her hand.

"Ahhh, I was wrong, Nian'er, please spare me!" Concubine Yun begged for mercy hurriedly.

She rubbed the teeth marks on her wrist, looked at her daughter lying beside her holding a snow globe, and said angrily, "You little girl, how come you learned this from a raccoon?"

Ning Xuenian ignored her, turned over, shook the snow globe, and continued to watch the snowflakes flying.

Yunpin was angry and ignored her. She picked up the book on the table and read it, but after reading two pages, she couldn't concentrate.

Compared to books, my daughter is more fun.
