The villain prince is three and a half years old

General Coal turned his head and glanced at her, but ignored her. He was too lazy to take care of the child.

"Meow!" It waved to the girl, telling her to go back and not follow it.

Not only did the girl not listen, she also took the opportunity to walk closer and wanted to hug General Coal.

"Meow meow meow!" General Coal cursed.

It doesn't have Xia Jing on it now, so holding a girl doesn't count as overtime. There is no overtime pay, it's a pure loss-making business, only a smart cat would not do it!

"Lili, are you hungry?" Ning Shuang'er rummaged in her sleeves and took out half a mung bean cake.

General Coal sighed, "Talking to you humans is so tiring! If you don't understand, then you don't understand, yet you always pretend to understand!"

It looked around and found that it was already near the Imperial Garden. There were many palace maids and eunuchs coming and going here, so it should be able to find Ning Shuang'er in a short while.

"Li Li!"

At the girl's cry, General Coal exerted force, jumped onto the top of the wall, and disappeared in an instant.

Ning Shuang'er ran along the wall in panic, trying to go around to the back to find General Coal, but the wall was the courtyard wall of a palace and the palace gate was closed. The girl ran around twice but couldn't find a way to get in.

She returned to the place where General Coal disappeared, looked at the wall, looked left and right, and shrank her neck.

Here, where?

The sun had already set on the eaves of a distant house, and the sky was getting dark. The girl turned around restlessly, trying to find a familiar road, but she didn't recognize anyone in front, behind, left, or right, and couldn't tell where she was.

Under the sky, there was only a shadow accompanying her.

She tried walking further away and ended up in an alley. The sunlight was blocked by the wall, and now even her shadow friend disappeared!

The girl lowered her head, her shoulders twitching, tears rolling down her cheeks and dripping onto the stone bricks.

She cried quietly because louder crying would disturb others.

But the child's crying was meant to be heard by others. The girl cried so quietly that the palace maids and eunuchs passing by did not notice her in the alley!

The sky was getting darker and darker. The girl was a little scared and huddled in a corner of the alley, crying secretly. This way, it would be harder for others to notice her.

The white sunlight at the entrance of the alley gradually turned into orange, and the orange became deeper and deeper. The surroundings were eerily quiet. Ning Shuang'er was still sobbing, and suddenly she heard the sound of water outside the alley.

She walked carefully to the entrance of the alley, followed the wall and walked in the direction of the sound.

When she reached the edge of the last wall, she stuck her head out and saw the imperial garden. Beside the garden pond, a boy was squatting with his back to her.

The boy seemed to hear her voice and turned his head to look back. She quickly retracted her head and hid behind the wall.

Chapter 203 Caught a Princess Fish

After encountering several unexpected situations, Xia Jing has become accustomed to opening the 3D map and placing it in the corner of his vision.

As Ning Shuang'er approached, Xia Jing noticed her. He thought the girl was just passing by, but she moved for a while and then stopped behind him.

Xia Jing turned around and saw only the red palace wall.

What is the girl doing standing behind the wall?

Xia Jing was confused, so he put it aside for the time being and focused on his own thing.

Since the beginning of summer, rainfall has been minimal, and the land in the garden behind the Cining Palace has dried up somewhat. At the instigation of the three working princes, Ning Shouxu, Ning Zhixing, and Ning Yuanzhong, Empress Dowager You plans to divert a small pond of water into the garden.

In this way, the frequency of watering can be reduced and the workload each time can be less. Drawing water from the pond is much more convenient than drawing water from the well outside the garden.

The pond is already under construction. It is ten feet wide and two or three feet long. It is not big and the construction period is very short. It can be completed in two days.

So Xia Jing started planning what to do after the pond was built. The pond was not big, but not small either. It would be a waste to leave it alone, so it would be better to raise a few more fish.

The fish are ready-made. The ones raised by Queen Yin in the imperial garden are very good. They are not only beautiful but also delicious and have a very high cost-effectiveness.

So he came to the Imperial Garden, intending to pick two clever ones and catch them when the pond was built. But he looked left and right and found this one good, that one also good, and he could not make a decision.

Forget it, just take them all away!

After the pond is built, all the koi fish will be caught and taken to the Cining Palace to make it neat and tidy.

After solving the problem, Xia Jing's attention returned to the map. Ning Shuang'er was still in the same place, no, the icon had moved forward a small step.

Xia Jing turned his head again and saw a guy with a bun on his head quickly hiding behind the wall.

No wonder the girl didn't move, it turned out she was secretly looking at herself.

Did you want to go to the Imperial Garden to play, but seeing that I was there, you didn’t dare to come over?

Xia Jing and Ning Shuang'er had never met formally, and considering the Ninth Prince's reputation, it was understandable that the girl was afraid.

Clapping his hands, Xia Jing stood up, asked Rendong to leave, and gave the Imperial Garden to Ning Shuang'er.

As he moved, the girl on the map also moved, but she did not go to the Imperial Garden, but followed him.

"...?"

The Ninth Prince considered the possibility of Ning Shuang'er making a surprise attack on him.

If it wasn't a sneak attack, why would they follow me?

Xia Jing was confused and slowed down, wanting to see what Ning Shuang'er was planning.

Even though the Ninth Prince had already released the sea, the Eighth Princess still had a hard time following him.

It was already dusk, and the palace maids and eunuchs had all returned to their own quarters. The eunuchs on night duty had not yet come to work. It was the harem's most empty time, with a cold and silent atmosphere.

Ning Shuang'er heard the sound of the wind, which was hoarse and sounded like the howl of a wild beast. She looked over there twice in fear but saw nothing. She turned around and found that the boy's shadow had also disappeared.

Xia Jing was at the corner in front of her, looking at Ning Shuang'er's icon on the map with some amusement. The icon was spinning around in circles.

This attacker's professionalism is so poor that he can even lose the target while walking, and after losing the target he just keeps walking in circles!

He coughed twice deliberately.

On the map, Ning Shuang'er's icon moved and quickly approached Xia Jing.

However, the girl still didn't find the right way and went into the alley ahead.

Xia Jing coughed twice more before the girl walked on the right path.

……

In Jingyixuan, Xiao Yue sat by the window sewing clothes. The sunlight outside the window gradually dimmed. She put down her needle and thread and looked up at the sky.

"Where is Jing'er?" she asked.

"My lord, the young master has gone fishing." Yi Qiu said.

"Fishing?" Xiao Yue was puzzled. Where was there a place to fish in this palace?

"When did you go out?" she asked again.

"Just left home not long ago."

It was getting late, and if I had just left home, I wouldn't be able to go outside the palace.

Where on earth did that kid go fishing?

Xiao Yue was worried and said to Yi Qiu, "Go to the door and tell me if you have any news."

"Yes." Yi Qiu walked out of the palace and looked at the door.

Xiao Yue was packing her clothes and needlework, but before she had finished organizing the threads, Yi Qiu came running back in a hurry.

"Master, the young master is back!" Yi Qiu said in surprise.

"Did you catch any fish?" Xiao Yue asked casually.

Yi Qiu looked towards the yard, a little confused, blinked and said, "Did you catch a princess fish?"

"What?" Xiao Yue was surprised.

In the yard, Xia Jing ordered Rendong to close the palace gate of Jingyixuan and lock up the princess fish.

He breathed a sigh of relief; the fish was finally hooked.

He led the girl all the way and it took him twice as long to return to Jingyixuan. He hid behind the gate again and watched Ning Shuang'er on the map circle around the door many times before finally entering the fishing net.

"Jing'er." Xiao Yue walked out of the main hall and saw Ning Shuang'er who was shrinking her head.

Yi Qiu didn't recognize Ning Shuang'er, but Xiao Yue did. During the Qianqiu Banquet, she memorized all the princes and princesses.

"Eighth Princess!" She was even more surprised.

After realizing what was happening, she immediately pushed Yi Qiu and said, "Go to Yonghua Palace and report the news."

"Yes." Yi Qiu took two steps and realized something was wrong. "Yonghua Palace is the palace of Concubine Yun."

"I just want you to tell Concubine Yun." Xiao Yue remembered clearly that Concubine Yun cared a lot about this princess.

Yi Qiu opened the palace gate and rushed out. Ning Shuang'er also wanted to escape, but Xia Jing grabbed her collar and pulled her back.

Xiao Yue picked her up and returned to the main hall.

On the Arhat bed, Ning Shuang'er sat at the small table, looking embarrassed.

Rendong brought a basin of water and a towel. Xiao Yue took them and wiped the girl's face.

"What's wrong with Shuang'er? Why are you crying like this?" Xiao Yue asked distressedly, "Where is the palace maid following you?"

Ning Shuang'er replied: "I don't know."

Xiao Yue waited for a while, but the girl didn't answer any other questions or provide any additional explanation. Suddenly, she realized that not all children were as smart as Jing'er and could explain things clearly.

She just asked so many questions that the girl might not have heard them clearly!

The girl said she didn't understand. Xiao Yue turned to look at Xia Jing, asking the boy with her eyes how he had fished out the eighth princess.

"I don't know." Xia Jing shook his head. "I was in the Imperial Garden, and she followed me here."

The Ninth Prince was also confused about this matter!

Xiao Yue could only turn around and continue asking Ning Shuang'er.

When Yunpin walked quickly and arrived at Jingyixuan and pushed open the door of the bedroom, Xiao Yue and Xia Jing also understood the truth.

Yunpin panted and sat beside Ning Shuang'er. Ning Shuang'er recognized her aunt and threw herself into her arms.

"What's the matter?" Yunpin took a sip of tea and slowed down her breathing.

After hearing the news from Yi Qiu, she rushed to Jingyixuan without stopping.

Xiao Yue told Yunpin what she had just learned.

Yunpin was both angry and amused. The girl actually got lost following General Coal! In Linxi Palace, they couldn't even keep an eye on a princess!

"Where is Nian'er?" Xiao Yue looked beside Yunpin, but did not see the shadow of the Seventh Princess.

"Nian'er was taking a bath, and I didn't have time to talk to her. I left Luhua here, nothing happened." After Yunpin finished explaining, her gaze returned to Ning Shuang'er.

Ning Shuang'er was staring at the pastries on the small table. When she noticed Yunpin and Xiao Yue looking at her, she immediately looked away.

Even looking at the pastries is done in a sneaky way.

Xia Jing couldn't bear to see the cute little girl hungry, so he picked up a piece of crabapple pastry and put it near Ning Shuang'er's mouth.

Chapter 204: Meow is not clean anymore

Ning Shuang'er swallowed and shook her head, "I don't... well."

Before she could finish her words, Xia Jing had already stuffed the Begonia Su into her mouth.

In his previous life, Xia Jing had seen many of these people wanting to eat but not wanting anything. As long as they stuffed the food into their mouths, they would eat it happily!

Sure enough, after the girl tasted the crabapple pastry, she no longer had the desire to refuse it. She held the pastry and ate it happily.

The Begonia Pastry was about the size of her little fist. She ate half of it with rapt attention, then thought of Xia Jing and handed the other half to her.

"Brother, eat." Her voice was soft and her expression was timid. She curled up in Yunpin's arms like a small mochi.

More importantly, she called Xia Jing brother.

Xia Jing was in a trance. Ever since he came across this time, he had always called others "sister". When he heard the word "brother", his heart was actually moved.

He pushed the small table aside and turned over to Ning Shuang'er. He took the crabapple pastry from her hand, threw it aside, and took a piece of donkey roll and fed it to her.

"This one tastes better," he said to Ning Shuang'er. The crabapple pastry was too dry and not as good as the donkey rolls.

The girl was startled by his approach and buried her face in Yunpin's arms, only raising her head after a while.
