She waved her hands: "I... um!"
After stuffing the donkey roll into the girl's mouth, Xia Jing looked at her expectantly.
"It's delicious, thank you brother." Ning Shuang'er leaned on Yunpin and nibbled on the donkey rolls.
"This cloud cake is not bad either." Xia Jing stuffed another new cake into the girl's mouth.
"Mmmm!" Ning Shuang'er nodded repeatedly.
Before she knew it, the girl came out of Yunpin's arms and lay down at the small table with Xia Jing, tasting pastries.
After tasting the pastries, Xia Jing asked Yi Qiu to bring some fruit.
There were only peaches, grapes and watermelons in Jingyixuan. The girl held a peach and chewed it for a long time, leaving only a small hole in the peach.
This peach is not a honey peach, but a nectarine, which is too hard for girls.
Xia Jing took the peach and stuffed it with the watermelon.
The watermelon was bigger than the girl’s head. Ning Shuang’er opened her eyes wide and shook her hands repeatedly. This time she was sincere. She couldn’t eat such a big one, her stomach would burst!
Xia Jing picked up the spoon and scooped some food for her.
Yunpin and Xiaoyue looked at it with smiles on their faces.
Leaving the two children behind, they went outside to discuss the matter of the eighth princess being missing.
Outside the window, the sky was already pitch black, and people in Linxi Palace must have been getting anxious.
But neither Xiao Yue nor Yunpin intended to inform Wanpin immediately.
It’s time to make Concubine Wan anxious!
In the room, Xia Jing peeled grapes for Ning Shuang'er. Ning Shuang'er shook her head and waved her hands. She really couldn't eat anymore.
General Coal jumped out of the window and took the grapes.
Ning Shouxu basically doesn't eat fruit. Grapes are not available in Yanghexuan all year round, so the black cat is greedy. Before, in Cining Palace, it even tried to please Ning Xuenian for a bite of watermelon.
Grapes are much sourer than watermelons. General Coal frowned like a kitten, chewed them, and spit out the grape seeds.
"Lili!" Ning Shuang'er was surprised and reached out to hug General Coal.
General Coal dodged her hand and jumped behind Xia Jing to prevent the girl from hugging him.
It is a cat with principles. Only the Ninth Prince can touch it casually, not even Ning Shouxu.
Xia Jing ignored its principles, lifted its neck and placed it in Ning Shuang'er's arms.
"Meow." General Coal felt a little aggrieved.
It kept its virginity for the boy, but the boy betrayed its body in the blink of an eye. Is this still a cat's law? Is this still a cat's morality?
It will take two meals of chicken to make up for its lost virginity!
It meowed twice.
Xia Jing raised a finger and bargained once.
Just once. General Mei accepted Xia Jing's offer and thought of another thing.
It escorted the girl all the way, worked hard, and added one more time.
Xia Jing knocked its head. If it hadn't lured the girl out, the girl wouldn't have gotten lost. Fortunately, he was in the Imperial Garden, otherwise he didn't know where the girl would run to!
Dunk once and kill the chicken!
"Meow meow meow!" General Coal was not convinced.
It did not abandon the girl, but kept lying on the roof in the distance and watching until it saw Xia Jing discover the girl, then it went back to Yanghexuan to eat.
Moreover, it wasn't the cat that lured the girl out, it was the cat that was so attractive that the girl took the initiative to follow it!
The man and the cat argued for a long time. Xia Jing took a step back and promised General Coal a favor.
Looking back at Ning Shuang'er, the little girl had already fallen on the bed, sleeping soundly.
"It's time for dinner." Xiao Yue pulled aside the curtain and came in. When she found Ning Shuang'er sleeping, she immediately lowered her voice.
Yi Qiu and General Mei were left to accompany Ning Shuang'er, while Xia Jing went out for dinner.
Concubine Yun was also having dinner at Jingyixuan. When it was late at night, they thought it was almost time, so they asked Xiao Tianzi to report to Linxi Palace.
Life was peaceful in Linxi Palace. Wanpin was opening a present and when she saw Xiao Tianzi she discovered that Ning Shuang'er was gone!
Ever since Concubine Duan lost power a few years ago, Concubine Wan has reduced her attention to the Eighth Princess. When Concubine Duan fell, she directly handed Ning Shuang'er over to the nanny and slept in the ear room with her at night.
This was the reason why Xia Jing possessed General Coal last time and saw the girl coming out of the ear room.
Wanpin hurriedly called the nanny, who hesitated for a while before admitting it.
Before dinner, the nanny discovered that the princess was missing. She didn't think it was a big deal. This had happened several times before, and the princess would just stay nearby, so she didn't tell Concubine Wan.
By the evening, the nanny had searched everywhere but couldn't find her. She didn't dare to tell anyone about it. It had taken so long, and if she told anyone about it, her crime would be even more serious!
Wanpin didn't think the Eighth Princess' disappearance was a big deal, but she couldn't let others know that she didn't value the Eighth Princess.
She scolded the nanny harshly and led people to Jingyixuan to pick up Ning Shuang'er.
Yunpin and Xiaoyue received her.
When she saw Concubine Yun, Concubine Wan's heart skipped a beat. She hurried into the house and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no scars on Ning Shuang'er's sleeping face.
She looked at the tear marks at the corners of Ning Shuang'er's eyes, and the girl's eyes that were slightly red from crying, and glanced at Yunpin.
She thought of the recent rumors in the palace, and heard that Concubine Yun was going to be promoted to a concubine.
Concubine Yun is good friends with Xiao Yue, and Xiao Yue is good friends with Concubine Xian. By then, Yun Shuxian's power will be much greater than Concubine Rou's. Although she has recently hooked up with Empress Dowager You, it is not easy to offend them.
It would be best to show friendship and form an alliance.
As for how to please, that is very simple.
"Shuang'er has fallen asleep. Linxi Palace is far away. I am worried about carrying her back. The night wind will hurt her body. I wonder if she can stay in Jingyixuan for one night?" She said to Xiao Yue.
Her words sounded sincere, and she was considering Ning Shuang'er everywhere. In fact, she was hinting that Ning Shuang'er should be left behind so that Yunpin could vent freely.
The hatred drama that Yunpin and Duanfei had performed before failed to achieve its purpose, but it was not exposed. Wanpin really thought that the two of them were not in harmony, and Yunpin took her anger out on Ning Shuang'er.
Otherwise, why is Concubine Yun in Xiaoyue Palace? Otherwise, why are Ning Shuang'er's eyes red from crying!
Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart.
Wanpin admits that she is not a good person, but she is not as bad as Yunpin.
At most, she would burn the bridge after crossing it. After taking advantage of Ning Shuang'er, she would not care about Ning Shuang'er's life. Without any benefit, she would not lay a hand on the child, nor would she vent her resentment on the child.
Chapter 205 The Queen of Taiga Drama
Concubine Yun and Xiao Yue had no idea what Concubine Wan was thinking. They looked at each other. Although they were surprised by Concubine Wan's proposal, it was exactly what they wanted, so they agreed.
Xia Jing vaguely guessed it, but didn't explain. This misunderstanding didn't matter. In a few days, Ning Zhuzhu would return to Linxi Palace in tears, and Ning Shuang'er would go to Cining Palace instead.
Xiao Yue politely invited Wanpin to have tea, but Wanpin declined and returned to Linxi Palace.
Yunpin and Xiao Yue walked into the inner room, sat on the Luohan bed, and looked at Ning Shuang'er who was sleeping soundly.
Yunpin stroked the girl's hair and said distressedly, "Wanpin really doesn't care about her."
"It's not too late now that we know. Just send Shuang'er to the Cining Palace." Xiao Yue patted her shoulder.
Leaving them in a room, Xia Jing returned to the east side hall, washed up and went to sleep.
……
Early in the morning, Concubine Wan sent someone to pick up Ning Shuang'er, and Concubine Yun also returned to Yonghua Palace. Jingyixuan became quiet.
Xia Jing hadn't been to the South Study for two days, and as so many things had happened in those two days, he forgot to escape and was caught red-handed by King Jing.
In the southern study, Zhang Zanyu and Xue Zhaoju were already waiting. After Xia Jing sat down, Zhang Zanyu began to teach today's class.
The next evening, after the class was over, Xia Jing left his notes, walked out of the South Study, and strolled around the Imperial Garden, feeding the carp in the pond with a newly acquired tube of dried shrimp.
As props, dried shrimps have extraordinary appeal. Four koi in the pond are competing with each other, splashing water everywhere.
After they finished eating, Xia Jing squatted down and touched the head of each koi.
"The Ninth Prince is kind-hearted." A voice sounded behind him.
Xia Jing turned around and pretended to be surprised.
In front of him stood a woman who looked to be in her thirties, wearing a bright yellow palace gown. There was a bit of the shadow of Empress Dowager You in her features, not in her appearance, but in her majesty.
But her demeanor was too neat. If she were Empress Dowager You, she would never stand so straight, nor would she place her hands neatly in front of her.
The woman was not like the queens in the palace dramas of Xia Jing's previous life, but rather like the noble ladies in the Taiga dramas, which are Japanese palace dramas.
In short, a woman's dignity does not come from her own aura, but from a rigid attitude of taking her every word and action seriously.
This kind of woman was particularly terrifying; Xia Jing had suffered from her in her previous life. To be so strict with herself, she must have a twisted heart and a strange temper.
"Long live the Queen." Xia Jing bowed to the woman.
The other party was Queen Yin. Xia Jing had already seen the woman approaching through the 3D map.
In the game, it was the other party who dissolved the Ninth Prince in water.
Xia Jing wasn't ready to face her. Empress Yin was relatively clean, having outsourced all the dirty work. Furthermore, the Yin family held considerable influence at court. The only way to deal with her was to attack head-on, using the power of the court to completely crush the Yin family.
He just pretended not to notice the woman, hoping that she would not disturb him, but unexpectedly, Queen Yin still talked to him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, best wishes." Xia Jing bowed to the young man next to Queen Yin again.
That's Ning Chunyou.
Queen Yin and Ning Chunyou came to the Imperial Garden for a stroll and met the Ninth Prince.
Ning Chunyou also greeted Xia Jing. He was a little absent-minded and didn't know what he had talked about with Queen Yin.
Xia Jing wanted to eavesdrop, but General Coal was not around.
He said goodbye to the two of them and quickly left the imperial garden.
The koi fish followed his shadow and swam to the edge of the imperial garden before stopping.
Queen Yin squatted down, put her hand in the water, and pointed at four koi fish in the distance.
The koi fish didn't surround her fingers and all ran away under the lotus leaves.
"You're being affectionate with that boy," Queen Yin snorted coldly and said to the maid beside her, "Catch these four fish, kill them, and send them to Prince Jing's mansion."
"No," Ning Chunyou stopped the maid, "Mother, what's wrong with these fish?"
Empress Yin stared at Ning Chunyou for a long time and sighed, "It turns out you were serious about what you did during the Spring Hunt."
During the spring hunt, the prince did not kill any prey, and his reputation for benevolence and righteousness spread widely throughout the court and the country.
At the same time, rumors that Emperor Kangning was dissatisfied with the crown prince were also spreading secretly.
"I just don't want to commit the sin of killing for no reason." Ning Chunyou replied.
Queen Yin waved her hand and said, "I'm tired. You can go back too."
She led the palace maids back to Kunning Palace. Ning Chunyou stood by the pond, looked at the fish in the water for a while, and then walked towards the East Palace.
A dark cloud floated in from afar and drifted into the imperial garden at a very low altitude.
When he reached the pond, General Coal stopped and looked around, only to see the empty garden and no queen or prince. He started cursing.
Why did those two leave so quickly? Couldn't they have stayed to discuss something important? If you don't overhear the information, you won't get it. Meow, kill the chicken!
It was unwilling to give up, so it walked around the imperial garden again, but still couldn't find anyone.
After leaving the Imperial Garden, General Coal went to the Cining Palace.
The Ninth Prince promised it two things in total. The first one failed, and there was another one - to go to the Cining Palace to inquire about Ning Zhuzhu's current situation.
It was getting dark, and Ning Zhuzhu was still in the corridor, practicing calligraphy with an old palace maid.
Two old companions of Empress Dowager You and two concubines of the late emperor sat by and supervised.
Ning Zhuzhu studied while crying, feeling like the sky was falling.
She originally thought that once she arrived at the Cining Palace, she would be provided with cakes and fruits and all she had to do was have fun.
Unexpectedly, just after dawn, Empress Dowager You picked her up and asked her to go to the yard for morning exercises.
