The villain prince is three and a half years old

"I owe my sister a debt. Since she took action, I can repay her somewhat." Concubine Duan looked at Xia Jing who was standing beside her. "The Ninth Prince has a grudge in his heart, and I can also avenge it at the same time."

When Concubine Yun beat Concubine Duan, she not only revealed her hatred but also displayed violence. At this time, when she went to Concubine Wan to ask for the Eighth Princess, it was not only logical but also very intimidating.

However, there is a key point in this operation, that is, the beating incident cannot be made a big deal and cannot attract the attention of Emperor Kangning. It is best to only let Concubine Wan know about it.

Concubine Yun clenched her fists and hesitated. She knew that the method Concubine Duan said was the best, but she really couldn't bring herself to do it.

Xia Jing thought that it would be useless to fight.

In the game, this strategy did not succeed at all. The news of the conflict between Concubine Yun and Concubine Duan spread, and the Eighth Princess still remained with Concubine Wan. Queen Yin also had to save face and could not send the Eighth Princess to the hands of Concubine Duan's "enemy".

"My sister is still like this." Concubine Duan smiled. She knew that Concubine Yun couldn't do it.

She stared at Xia Jing: "Is the Ninth Prince coming?"

The Ninth Prince was not polite. He walked to Luohan's bed and pinched Concubine Duan's cheek hard.

This was revenge for Concubine Duan pinching his face.

Outside Anming Palace, the eunuch from the imperial kitchen brought in a food box. The palace maid took it and handed over some silver coins.

In the past, in the An Ming Palace, the eunuchs in the imperial kitchen would not only not accept the money, but would have wanted to put money in the food box for An Ming Palace. But now, not only did he dare to accept it, he also dared to weigh the silver in front of the palace maids.

This piece of silver is worth one or two ounces.

The eunuch smiled and turned to leave when he saw Concubine Yun and the Ninth Prince coming out of the main hall.

He made way and knelt aside.

The two men walked by for a long time before the eunuch dared to stand up.

The palace maid saw the eunuch's reaction and felt sad. She carried the food box and walked to the bedroom.

"Where is the green?" Concubine Duan asked the palace maid.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Yaolu went out early this morning." The maid said, looking at Concubine Duan and covering her mouth. "Your Majesty, I will go find the imperial physician right away!"

"No need, this matter cannot be made public. Go and call Concubine Wan over and tell her that I have something extremely important to discuss with her." Concubine Duan said.

She touched the corner of her eyes, realizing that she had been a little too rough just now.

There was no way. Her boxing skills were not very good and she had not practiced for a long time, so she couldn't control her strength at all.

When Wanpin met Concubine Duan's maid in her palace, Wanpin was about to refuse, but the maid said that the matter was very important and she was not sure, so she had to come to Anming Palace.

She was shocked to see Concubine Duan's appearance.

"I used to make things difficult for Concubine Yun. Now that I've lost power and she's gained it, it's only natural for her to retaliate." Concubine Duan threatened Concubine Wan. "What I'm worried about now is that she'll do something to the children. Zhong'er is old enough that she can't bully him, but Shuang'er..."

Wanpin was trembling in her heart, but she kept silent: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not afraid of her."

Concubine Duan sighed, "With your words, I feel relieved. My position as a concubine is no longer secure. In the future, she will be Concubine Yun. You should be more considerate of her."

"Yun, Yun Fei?" Wanpin's eyes widened. When they were both concubines, she still had some confidence. If Yun Fei became a concubine, how could she resist?

Seeing her expression, Concubine Duan felt that the matter was settled.

Outside the palace gate, Yaolu knocked on the door and walked in.

She had just returned from Queen Yin's visit. Concubine Duan had discussed something with Queen Yin not long ago, and she had thus established contact with her.

Queen Yin admired her very much and was planning to move her to Kunning Palace. Now, she was just waiting for the fall of Anming Palace.

Looking at the sad faces of others, Yaolu felt secretly happy.

She had to pretend well during these last few days, and Queen Yin asked her to pay attention to the movements in Anming Palace.

She thought as she walked towards the main hall.

"Aunt, please wait." The maid stopped her. "The master and Concubine Wan are discussing something. No one is allowed to enter."

Yaolu was confused, why did Concubine Duan call Concubine Wan?

"Okay, I'll watch it. You go and clean the side hall." She sent the palace maid away and stood guard outside the inner room herself.

After the maid left, she put her ear to the door.

She didn't notice that in the shadow in the corner of the main room, a black cat was also looking at her.

Under Xia Jing's command, General Mei watched the entire process of Yao Lu reporting to Kunning Palace.

……

In Yonghua Palace, Xia Jing stood up from the Arhat bed, stretched, and marveled at the effectiveness of the animal taming technique.

Details that were not explained in the game were easily discovered using animal taming techniques.

Originally, Concubine Duan had pretended to be beaten to intimidate Concubine Wan, and then Concubine Yun had come to ask for the Eighth Princess. With Empress Yin helping with the formalities, Emperor Kangning would likely have agreed at a glance. The Qin family was about to replace the Ge family, and Emperor Kangning was willing to give Concubine Yun an advantage.

But if rumors spread that Concubine Yun wanted the Eighth Princess in order to take revenge on Concubine Duan, then Emperor Kangning would not agree. If he agreed, he would be criticized by the rumors.

Destroying the Eighth Princess's adoption plan would not benefit Queen Yin, but ruining Concubine Yun's reputation would be of great value to Queen Yin.

Winning over concubines and suppressing imperial concubines was Queen Yin's way of balancing things.

In the game, the Eighth Princess still stayed with Concubine Wan, and her life was indeed not very good.

It’s not that Concubine Wan deliberately made things difficult for the Eighth Princess, but because Concubine Wan also had a biological daughter, the Ninth Princess. Unfortunately, the two princesses raised by the same mother did not have as deep a relationship as the Taoxiang sisters.

Before Concubine Duan fell, Concubine Wan had always been careful to take care of the Eighth Princess. After Concubine Duan fell, Concubine Wan completely let go. The Ninth Princess then bullied the Eighth Princess in various ways and treated her as her follower.

The conspiracy of Queen Yin could no longer be stopped, but there was still a way to get the Eighth Princess to leave Concubine Wan.

Xia Jing decided to observe the situation first. It was still early and he had to wait until the dust in the western border was completely settled and Concubine Duan lost her rank as a concubine before he could start.

Concubine Duan is only making preliminary preparations now.

……

"Nian'er."

Xia Jing heard Yunpin calling Ning Xuenian.

He walked out of the inner room. Ning Xuenian was jumping rope in the yard, and Yunpin was standing on the steps.

"Jing'er is awake too." Yunpin smiled.

When Concubine Yun called out "Nian'er", Ning Xuenian ignored her and continued to jump rope. When Concubine Yun mentioned "Jing'er", Ning Xuenian immediately dropped the jump rope and ran into the house.

"You girl!" Yunpin pulled the girl's ear.

"Brother Jing, let's go out and play." Ning Xuenian grabbed Xia Jing's hand and was about to rush out the door.

Concubine Yun hurriedly stopped them.

She held Ning Xuenian's shoulders and said, "Nian'er, mother has something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Ning Xuenian asked puzzledly.

"What do you think about your mother giving you a younger sister?" Yunpin said.

To adopt a new child, of course you have to do some ideological work on the old child.

"No!" Ning Xuenian quickly refused, "I already have brother Jing."

Yunpin was helpless: "You don't need to take care of her, just have fun."

"No, it's so ugly with a big belly," Ning Xuenian said after seeing Concubine Wan pregnant. "I don't want such an ugly mother."

She thought Concubine Yun was going to give birth herself.

"I'm talking about your eighth sister. I plan to bring her here." Yunpin squatted down and looked into her daughter's eyes.

"Then just answer it, we're going to play." Ning Xuenian didn't care.

She had no interest in her younger sister and only wanted to go to the Imperial Garden with Xia Jing to practice slingshot shooting, as long as her younger sister didn't disturb them.

Looking at the backs of the two children, Yunpin sighed, not knowing whether her daughter's reaction was good or bad.

She soon didn't have to worry anymore. Before she could go to Concubine Wan to talk about this matter, the fabricated conflict between her and Concubine Duan had spread throughout the harem.

Concubine Yun went to find Concubine Wan, but Concubine Wan refused to see her. She then went to find Queen Yin, but Queen Yin said that the matter could not be done.

She went to Anming Palace again.

Concubine Duan took a long whip and lashed the servants in the palace. She didn't know who leaked the news, so she simply beat all the servants. Yao Lu endured the whipping and gritted her teeth.

Concubine Yun stopped Concubine Duan and the two of them entered the house.

"Sister, you don't have to try anymore. Just keep your eyes on Shuang'er." Concubine Duan knew that there was no hope and gave up struggling.

"Don't worry, sister. With me and the fifth prince here, Concubine Wan won't dare to do anything." Concubine Yun said.

After leaving Anming Palace, she was still worried and unwilling to give up, so she went to Wanpin's palace again. This time, Wanpin met her, but her attitude was firm.

Concubine Yun went to Kunning Palace again, and Empress Yin kept repeating the same old things.

"Even if I agree, the emperor will not agree. Give up, sister." Queen Yin said.

Concubine Yun walked in a daze and entered Jingyixuan.

Xiao Yue listened to the whole process and felt hesitant.

She asked Yunpin, "Sister, do you really want the Eighth Princess to come?"

"Wanpin is not a good person. I also watched Shuang'er grow up. I am worried." Yunpin paused and continued, "When I was a child, Sister Duan helped me a lot. This is her last wish."

Xiao Yue was silent for a moment, then pointed to the east side hall and said, "Sister, why don't you ask Jing'er?"

Just because Concubine Yun couldn't win custody of the Eighth Princess doesn't mean others can't.

For example - Empress Dowager You.

Xia Jing originally planned to talk about it later, but he didn't expect Yunpin to come to him directly, so he took Yunpin to the Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager You took off her old-fashioned mirror, took a sip of tea, sent Concubine Yun away, and waved to Xia Jing.

Xia Jing walked up to the old lady.

"It hurts, it hurts." Xia Jing cried out in pain, and Empress Dowager You pinched his face.

Empress Dowager You was furious. She hadn't even used any strength yet, but the child was screaming as if she had killed him!

"Empress Dowager! What happened?" Two concubines of the previous emperor rushed over and were heartbroken to see that the ninth prince had been murdered.

Queen Mother You let go of her hand and patted the boy on the head: "Alright, stop pretending."

She looked at the two older sisters again and said, "You too, always fall for this kid's tricks!"

The two old concubines retreated with a wry smile.

Xia Jing rubbed his cheek and asked, "Grandma doesn't want a granddaughter?"

"No." Empress Dowager You was as resolute as Ning Xuenian. "One of you is enough for me to bear. I don't need another!"

"But if we leave Eighth Sister with Concubine Wan, she will definitely be bullied."

"What does it have to do with me? Go find whoever gave birth to the child. Go find your father!" Empress Dowager You said unhappily.

"Grandma, you're saying that again," Xia Jing climbed onto her lap. "You're the best grandma in the world. How can you just ignore your granddaughter in dire straits?"

As he spoke, Xia Jing massaged Empress Dowager You's shoulders.

Empress Dowager You was pleased with these words, but they did not change her decision.

"I'm already old and don't have the energy to take care of children. We're all in the palace, what kind of grievances can the Eighth Princess endure? Go visit her more often, who would dare to wrong her?"

"Why is grandma praising me?" Xia Jing scratched his head.

Empress Dowager You glanced at the boy. She had lived a life of integrity, so how could she possibly flatter? This was the conclusion she had drawn from the events at Fuchenzhai.

Concubine Duan was so powerful and arrogant before, and she went to capture the Taoxiang sisters, but she was still completely subdued by the boy? Is Concubine Wan even more difficult to deal with than the previous Concubine Duan?

She didn't know that the problem was not with Concubine Wan, but with the Ninth Princess.

"If you want to bring the Eighth Princess here, just keep her yourself." Empress Dowager You refused.

"Grandma, please bring the eighth princess here and I will help you raise her." Xia Jing patted his chest.

Chapter 193 Where is my koi? (Two in one)

It was impossible to raise her. She had to first trick Empress Dowager You into bringing the Eighth Princess over, and then she had no say in the matter.

Although the old lady has a sharp tongue, a fierce face and a desire for control, she is a serious and responsible parent. As long as the Eighth Princess is in her care, she will make sure everything is arranged in an orderly manner. At least the Eighth Princess will live a better life than when she was in the care of Concubine Wan.

"Does what you say count?" Empress Dowager You looked at Xia Jing.
