The villain prince is three and a half years old

When the Ninth Prince received the news, he was with Ning Xuenian, so he brought the girl with him.

Ning Xuenian has the blood of a military family. As soon as she entered the door, she asked about the battle at Tianmen Pass.

Xiao Jida did not correct the Seventh Princess's wrong choice of words. Xia Jing suspected that Xiao Jida, a poor student, did not know the correct vocabulary.

Xiao Jida was shocked. "How could the rumor be so exaggerated? They're practically comparing me to a demon. Even if I ran fast from the east gate to the west gate, it would still take an incense stick. How could I not blink in that time?"

"Did it blink?" Ning Xuenian was disappointed.

"He blinked a lot." Xiao Jida said seriously.

Xia Jingyin complained in his heart, is this a question of whether he blinked or not?

Xiao Jida felt uneasy and asked, "Where did the princess get this news?"

He was afraid of being overpraised.

Ning Xuenian turned her head and looked into Xia Jing's eyes.

Xia Jing turned his face away guiltily. He had just made this up to appease Ning Xuenian, but who knew Ning Xuenian would ask Xiao Jida about it right in front of him?

It’s urgent. I’m making up stories about my uncle. What if they settle the accounts?

Seeing the two children's reactions, Xiao Jida understood and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Ning Xuenian also understood, pouted her lips, put her hands on Xia Jing's shoulders and shook him hard.

Xia Jing didn't dare to move.

The girl then asked another question: "I heard that the people of Chu are big and strong, with sharp teeth and love to suck blood. The nobles eat two children a day. Is this true?"

Xiao Jida glanced at Xia Jing and said vaguely, "I haven't heard of this. The Chu people captured in Tianmen Pass are all normal people except for their strange accents."

Ning Xuenian's face puffed up and she shook Xia Jing again.

She then asked, "Is it true that the people of the Western Regions have no knees and that we can trip up their army just by pulling a rope?"

"I don't know where it is from. As far as I know, the people of Qi in the west just have darker skin and higher noses."

Ning Xuenian's face was almost swollen. This time the shaking was particularly violent, and Xia Jing felt like his brain was hitting his skull.

He hurriedly defended himself: "This is none of my business. It was Yan Yushi who said it! The Chu State's affairs were also said by the Yan Emperor. It has nothing to do with me!"

"You clearly knew it, but you didn't tell me and made a fool of me!" Ning Xuenian ignored her and increased her strength.

"I do not know……"

Before Xia Jing could deny it, Ning Xuenian interrupted him: "You weren't surprised at all just now, you knew it!"

Oh no, this stupid sister has become smart.

"I also read it in a book. When I heard the Yan siblings say it, I thought the book was wrong, so I didn't dare to say it!" Xia Jing quickly found another excuse.

He couldn't say he thought it was fun to trick children. Especially when talking about the Chu people eating two children at a meal, the girl's timid look was particularly attractive.

"Really?" Ning Xuenian stopped, her lips still pouting.

"Really? How could I lie to Sister Nian'er?" Xia Jing picked up a cake and put it into Ning Xuenian's mouth. "I heard about my uncle's killing at Chuantianmen Pass from a storyteller."

Looking at his sincere gaze, Ning Xuenian opened her mouth and started chewing the pastry.

"Next time if you have a different opinion, tell me." Ning Xuenian reminded.

"It's guaranteed." Xia Jing promised.

Xiao Jida looked amused, guzzling his tea. He, too, would often chat with his friends after getting drunk, rambling and rambling. Serious conversations were boring; they only interested him when they were mixed up in truth and falsehood.

Because he knew he couldn't change, he was sure that his nephew couldn't change either.

Xia Jing successfully appeased Ning Xuenian, turned to look at Xiao Jida, and was very dissatisfied.

As an uncle, it would have been fine if you didn't help your nephew keep it a secret, but you actually took the initiative to expose it!

Just wait, I’ll go to my mother and say bad things about you tonight!

I said I heard you hang out with a bunch of men all day and are not nice to women, and I want to learn from you!

Xiao Jida didn't realize the danger to his reputation. He put down his tea bowl and asked about Xia Jingjing Yixuan.

Xia Jing answered one by one.

Hearing that his sister was doing well, Xiao Jida felt relieved.

Without Emperor Kangning's order, Xiao Jieda cannot go to see Xiao Yue, and similarly, Xiao Yue cannot come out to see him.

Xia Jing was able to come out to see him because he was a prince and because the upper study and the southern study were right next door, but Xiao Yue couldn't.

This rule is mainly to isolate the inside and outside, to prevent external relatives from interfering in the harem and endangering the emperor.

However, Xia Jing estimated that given Xiao Jida's achievements, according to convention, Emperor Kangning should allow Concubine Shu to leave the palace to visit her relatives.

At that time, Xiao Yue will not only be able to see her brother, but also her parents.

"If the Ninth Prince needs anything, please write to me and I will find a way." After Xiao Jida inquired about the situation, he made a promise.

As he said this, he raised his head slightly, feeling somewhat pleased with himself. From a playboy to a powerful general, he could finally help his sister in the harem.

Xia Jing nodded perfunctorily.

He could understand Xiao Jida's desire to show off, but unfortunately, a general who was favored by the emperor and was about to be promoted to the third rank might be able to help ordinary concubines, but he still had a long way to go before he could help Jing Yixuan.

Xia Jing came here this time not to listen to Xiao Jieda's promise, nor to let him ruin his plan.

He pretended to pour tea for Xiao Jida and whispered, "My eldest sister said that if the emperor asked my uncle to choose the Western Territory, I must accept it."

After saying that, he picked up the tea bowl and handed it to Xiao Jida.

Xiao Jida took it and hid the surprise in his eyes behind the tea bowl.

The Western Territory is home to a large minority population, leaving the central government with relatively little influence. However, peace has been enjoyed there for nearly a decade. This is a credit to the Ge family, and Ge Hongsheng rose to the rank of noble leader thanks to his contributions to stabilizing the Western Territory.

Xiao Jida thought, is this asking him to go to the Western Territory to compete with the Ge family?

His hair stood on end, not in fear, but in nervousness. Although he believed he was a far superior person now, was it too early to challenge the Ge family? Or was he just a pawn?

The most important thing is that it is no problem for him to capture cities and strongholds, but he also can't fight for power and profit!

Of course Xia Jing knew that he was only good at external battles but not internal fights. This time he let him go because he wanted him to make good use of the traditional skills of a green forest hero - forming gangs and factions.

Even if nothing was done, Concubine Duan would lose power and the Ge family would fall, but if there was a way to make a fortune, of course one had to get involved.

Patting Xiao Jida's knee, Xia Jing pulled Ning Xuenian and left the tea room.

The two children ran through the Rijing Gate, walked through many palaces, passed through the Arrow Pavilion, and walked from the harem to the front half of the palace.

"This is not the way back." Ning Xuenian looked at the unfamiliar road and looked at Xia Jing in confusion.

"Let's not go back. Let's go out of the palace and have fun." Xia Jing explained.

Not to mention Ning Xuenian, even Xiao Tianzi and Lu Hua who were following behind were shocked.

"Don't worry, I've already told grandma." Xia Jing comforted the girl.

The time will soon come when Concubine Duan will come to power. At that time, she can no longer play around so casually and must keep a low profile.

Of course, one must indulge oneself in these last moments, such as kidnapping the princess out of the palace.

Chapter 169 There is someone outside

After hearing what Xia Jing said, Ning Xuenian was happy at first, then she stood still and refused to move no matter how Xia Jing pulled her.

"What's wrong?" The Ninth Prince looked at the girl in confusion.

Ning Xuenian hesitated for a moment, then looked up into Xia Jing's eyes and asked, "Can you bring a few more people?"

Xia Jing's first reaction was, "The sky has fallen! My sister has someone else out there!" Ning Xuenian's recent whereabouts quickly flashed through his mind, and he eliminated the suspects one by one, leaving only two.

"It's Sisi and Shishi." Ning Xuenian scratched her hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

It’s you two!

"I told them about going out of the palace to play before, but I didn't mention the pleasure boat." Ning Xuenian was afraid that Xia Jing would think she was treacherous, so she hurried to explain.

"At that time, they seemed very envious, so I boasted that I would take them out next time." Ning Xuenian lowered her head, ashamed of her behavior. "It's okay not to take them, but you must never tell anyone that we went out to play!"

Looking at Ning Xuenian's nervous face, Xia Jing felt a little amused. The girl had followed him and had finally learned the bad habits, now knowing how to hide things from the world.

Although I promised to bring you with me next time, as long as you don’t know, next time will never come.

Xia Jing thought about it and realized that it was the same whether he took one princess out of the palace or a group of princesses out of the palace.

"We have to report to grandma first." Xia Jing said.

"Great!" Ning Xuenian held Xia Jing's hand and jumped up and down.

The group returned to the harem. Xia Jing went to the Cining Palace to report, and Ning Xuenian went to bring Ning Sisi and Yan Yushi over. Only Yan Yushi could not leave the palace, not Yan Nanque. The prince of Yan State could not leave the palace, not even Empress Dowager You would allow it.

In fact, even to bring Ning Sisi and Yan Yushi along, it was the Ninth Prince who used all his face and effort to get Empress Dowager You to agree.

As a price, the Ninth Prince had to come to Queen Mother You to massage her legs every night for the next ten days, although in reality, it was definitely Queen Mother You who massaged him.

There is no need to tell Ning Xuenian about the hardships involved.

Xia Jing suddenly understood those husbands who worked hard during the day and suffered indifference, but went home at night to pretend to have nothing to do and relax, and felt her own greatness.

As soon as he walked out of the Cining Palace, Ning Xuenian arrived with her two good sisters.

The three girls looked at Yuhe and the five eunuchs behind her with a little fear. They were all martial eunuchs with big shoulders, thick waists and fleshy faces.

With more princesses leaving the palace, security must of course keep up. Empress Dowager You asked Yuhe to bring a small team of military guards, plus Xiao Tianzi and Luhua, which was almost enough.

Xia Jing looked at the security team and even wanted to ask Queen Mother You to add more.

He didn't want to be like the prince or princess in the story, who was naughty and stupid and refused to listen to advice, avoided the family guards, walked into the alley, was kidnapped by a group of robbers, and began his life of hardship.

"Let's go." The Ninth Prince waved his hand, and the group passed through many security checks and arrived at Donghua Gate.

After changing clothes in the room next to the door and disguising himself as an ordinary noble, Xia Jing handed the Cining Palace sign to the guard and walked out smoothly.

The three princesses looked around. Ning Xuenian, claiming to be an old hand, explained the rules to the two new interns and introduced them to the surrounding things.

The Xue family had a carriage waiting outside, and a prince and three princesses boarded it, making it a bit crowded. There was no other way, as Xia Jing had originally planned to have only two people.

Yan Yushi looked at the size of the carriage and made a guess.

Ning Sisi lifted the curtains and looked around. When Prince Jing led them out before, the windows in the carriage had been sealed shut. This was her first time seeing the streets of the capital.

Yan Yushi and her head were close together. Over the past month or so, the Yan princess had become quite familiar with Xia Jing and the other two, and her behavior and speech had become much more casual.

Compared to the silent Ning Sisi, Yan Yushi was much more cheerful. She looked around, sighed, and muttered to herself.

Ning Xuenian had originally lost interest in the street, but when she heard Yan Yushi muttering, she also moved over.

The small window could only accommodate two little heads. Ning Sisi gave up her seat and sat next to Xia Jing.

Xia Jing lifted the curtain on his side and showed it to Ning Sisi.

On the right, Yan Yushi and Ning Xue were chattering non-stop, while on the left, Ning Sisi was exceptionally quiet. The windows on both sides were like two poles, with completely different atmospheres, but both were cheerful and comfortable.

The carriage soon arrived at the Xue residence. Xiao Tianzi opened the carriage door and drew aside the curtain. The carriages often seen in film and television often have only a curtain at the back, no doors. Those are ordinary carriages. The one Xia Jing and his companions were riding in was built with the concept of encountering crossbows in mind. Not only did it have doors, but the windows also closed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please." Xiao Tianzi raised his hand to guide them out of the car.

Xia Jing jumped down directly, and there were three princesses left. Lu Hua carried them down one by one.

Xia Jing led them to his own courtyard.

Along the way, the three princesses chattered a lot, and when they saw something new, they would stop to study it.

Xia Jing thought of the story of Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. However, Granny Liu was there to see its splendor, while the three little princesses were there to see its strangeness. An old pillar with peeling paint could attract their attention, just like domestic tourists traveling to Southeast Asia.

Because they had no discipline and were free and undisciplined, the Ninth Prince's tour group's itinerary was greatly delayed, and it took three or four times the usual time to reach the courtyard.

"Young Master." Xue Zhixi came forward and looked at the girls behind Xia Jing curiously.

After the handmade soap shares incident, Xue Zhixi's family took over the cleaning and maintenance work of Xia Jing's courtyard, and also helped Xia Jing when he came to Xue's house.

Due to privacy and other reasons, there are no servants in Xiajing Courtyard.

Apart from the time they first met, this was the first time Xue Zhixi saw the Ninth Young Master leading someone here. She looked at Ning Xuenian and recognized the girl he had seen from last time. She also looked at Ning Sisi and Yan Yushi and felt that their temperaments were somewhat similar to Ning Xuenian, and they must also hold high positions.

"This is my sister, and this is Miss Yan." Xia Jing briefly introduced Ning Sisi and Yan Yushi, and then introduced Xue Zhixi.

The two sides greeted each other and were very restrained.

Ning Sisi and Yan Yushi remembered their disguises well. The difference was that Ning Sisi was afraid of saying something she shouldn't, so she didn't dare to speak. Yan Yushi was much more generous and had already started chatting with Xue Zhixi to gather information.
