The villain prince is three and a half years old

Ning Sisi smiled and touched the rabbit's head, then took out a carrot from her sleeve.

White radishes are basically the only food grown around the capital. Carrots are a novel food. They were given to Ning Gaoxiang by merchants from the Western Regions when Concubine Rou bought rare Western Regions products for him. General Shi liked them very much.

General Coal likes it too.

A dark cloud floated over, passed over Ning Sisi's palm, and fell to the ground.

General Coal pressed the carrot with one claw, lowered his head and took a small bite, chewing it with a crunching sound, feeling a little disappointed. This thing he had never seen before was not tasty.

General Shi's food was swept away by a dark cloud. He was a little panicked at first, but when he saw that the thief was about the same age as him, he regained his confidence.

It hissed, bared its sharp teeth, and pounced on General Coal.

"Be careful!" Ning Sisi tried to stop him in a panic, but General Shi jumped up and stepped on her chest. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.

When he stood up and looked again, he saw that General Coal had one front paw on the carrot and the other on General Stone's head. No matter how hard the gray rabbit tried, it could not move forward and its sharp teeth could only bite the air.

With another claw, General Shi was slapped away. General Mei picked up the carrot and ran away to eavesdrop on the conversation between Concubine Wan and Concubine Rou.

General Shi fell to the ground, sulking.

Ning Sisi hurried to the warehouse, brought out a new carrot, and coaxed General Shi.

She breathed a sigh of relief and went to look for General Coal again, but she couldn't find him.

General Coal was on the beam inside the house, and not only her, but even Concubine Wan and Concubine Rou below did not notice it.

After eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, the Coal General brand eavesdropping device returned the same way.

In Jingyixuan, Xia Jing felt relieved after listening to it, but also felt a little regretful.

It would be nice if Concubine Rou really had the heart to let Ning Sisi go to the Cining Palace.

"What is this?" He looked at the carrot under General Coal's claws again.

General Coal demonstrated how he found the carrot and how he fought with the beast guarding the carrot. Finally, he asked Xia Jing if he wanted the carrot. He only needed half a set of meow-killing chicken, which was very affordable.

Xia Jing refused and gave the reward for eavesdropping, a set of meow-killing chickens, to General Coal.

After doing that, General Coal lay down with satisfaction, then stood up to leave.

"I didn't take this." Xia Jing handed the carrot to General Mei. He really couldn't think of any use for the carrot.

General Coal was too lazy to pick it up, and it didn't taste good.

"Meow meow meow."

It traded carrots with Xia Jing for a small dried shrimp.

On the way back, it threw dried shrimps into the pond in the imperial garden to amuse the koi.

Chapter 207 Qualifications for the Summer Resort

Neither Concubine Rou nor Concubine Wan wanted to give up the opportunity to hook up with the Cining Palace, but Ning Zhuzhu was really disappointing and they had no choice.

Wanpin sent Ning Shuang'er to the Cining Palace, cursing her and making her suffer, but she was also afraid that Ning Shuang'er would not be able to hold on.

Empress Dowager You also thought that Ning Shuang'er would not be able to hold on, but as long as the girl persisted for two or three days, she would reduce the difficulty.

Not every princess is Ning Wanjun. Empress Dowager You had no expectations for Ning Shuang'er. She adopted Ning Shuang'er just to get the Ninth Prince to come to Cining Palace more often.

To her surprise, the girl not only persisted but also adapted very well. Every day, she followed the schedule without the palace maids calling her or the nanny urging her. She did not cry, make a fuss, or hit anyone.

Xia Jing, who came over every day to take a peek, was not surprised by the scene. As a matchmaker with ideals and morals, he certainly wouldn't randomly match couples. He introduced the girl to Empress Dowager You after considering all factors and felt that she was a perfect match for her.

After another day of visiting, Xia Jing walked to the back garden, interrupting the atmosphere of Ning Shouxu and Sun Jingzhu, handed a piece of watermelon to Ning Yuanzhong who was watering the plants, and fed the koi in the pond with dried shrimps.

The koi are the four in the imperial garden. After the pond in the back garden was built, Queen Yin took the initiative to send these four koi without the Ninth Prince having to do anything, and found a few more to put in the imperial garden.

Finally, Xia Jing returned to Ning Shouxu and Sun Jingzhu and took out her small guzheng.

At Zhang Zanyu's reminder, King Jing remembered that he was not only a military teacher, but also an art teacher, so he gave Xia Jing a small guzheng and asked the boy to practice it on weekdays.

Xia Jing got the guzheng, but Prince Jing was unwilling to teach him. He was only concerned with explaining various battles to the Ninth Prince and telling him how to solve various minor troubles in the military camp.

Xia Jing then started to learn from Sun Jingzhu.

He had played it sporadically before and could barely play a few tunes. It was easy for Sun Jingzhu to teach him. She liked this cute, well-behaved and talented little prince very much. Only Ning Shouxu had a problem with it.

After pulling Sun Jingzhu away again, Ning Shouxu helplessly said to Xia Jing, the big light bulb: "Your Madam Xian is also good at guzheng. I will talk to her tonight. You can go find her later."

Xia Jing said nothing, spread out his palm, stretched it in front of Ning Shouxu, and rubbed his fingers twice.

This is a request for a transfer fee.

Ning Shouxu was unwilling to be coerced, but he had no choice.

He thought for a moment and said, "In Fuqing Palace, there are the guzhengs I used to use. I'm giving them all to you."

"I already have one given by Uncle Wang." Xia Jing patted his small guzheng.

"Prince Jing is fooling you. This small guzheng is only suitable for playing a specific style of music. Later on, you'll need to use a normal-sized one." Ning Shouxu glanced at the ignorant little prince. "Besides, different woods produce different tones. I have more than ten guzhengs in Fuqing Palace."

"Deal." Xia Jing readily agreed, took his little guzheng and left, and helped to pull the little light bulb Ning Yuanzhong away.

"I haven't finished watering yet." Ning Yuanzhong was still thinking about his work.

It was lunchtime, and he took the time to come to the Cining Palace just to finish his work early.

"Don't worry, Third Brother will complete the rest." Xia Jing pointed at Ning Shuang'er who was studying in the corridor room, "Why don't you accompany her when you have time."

Ning Yuanzhong glanced at the corridor, hesitant. His mother had left the harem, and now the only one with whom he was related by blood was Ning Shuang'er. He wanted to get closer to her, but for a playboy like him, approaching a little girl was a difficult task.

He looked at Xia Jing again. The Ninth Prince had already taken more than ten steps and was about to leave the courtyard gate.

Compared to getting close to his sister, Ning Yuanzhong has a more important thing to deal with.

He walked quickly behind Xia Jing, left two words, and then walked quickly to the corridor next to him.

It was a "thank you", thanking the Ninth Prince for sending Ning Shuang'er to the Cining Palace.

Some people's thanks are just a breath that blows away in the wind, while some people's thanks are a token that has been tempered and placed in the heart.

Xia Jing believed that if he had something to ask Ning Yuanzhong in the future, the other party would definitely not say anything.

He glanced at the interface in Ning Yuanzhong.

[Intimacy: 76]

This number is close to Ning Shouxu's.

Not only Ning Yuanzhong, but also the intimacy between Concubine Yun and Empress Dowager You increased after Ning Shuang'er came.

Xia Jing scratched his head. He really didn't expect to eat one fish in three ways. It was all a coincidence.

When they walked out of the backyard, a palace maid saw the Ninth Prince and hurried over to take the small guzheng. When they arrived at the Cining Gate, the small guzheng was held by Xiao Tianzi and they returned to Jingyixuan.

The afternoon sun was scorching. Xia Jing was in the main room, setting up her small guzheng, tying on tortoiseshell artificial nails, and playing the technique that Sun Jingzhu had just taught her.

Thanks to "Amu Tietie", he made rapid progress.

Xiao Yue was making clothes by the window, looking at him with a smile. Yi Qiu was behind Xiao Yue, using a palm-leaf fan to cool down her master, and looked at the young master's serious expression with curiosity.

Behind the Ninth Prince, Honeysuckle didn't understand music and just kept fanning himself.

Xia Jing sneezed and asked Honeysuckle to fan him gently, but his sleeves fluttered up!

The girl interrupted him and the song he was playing was interrupted. Xia Jing was too lazy to play it from the beginning, so he changed to another song.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells

Xiao Yue raised her head by the window. Although she was not good at playing musical instruments, she had heard many songs. How could she not have heard the song the boy was playing?

Putting down her needlework and asking Yi Qiu to stop fanning herself with the palm-leaf fan, Xiao Yue listened carefully to the music.

Outside Jingyixuan, Empress Xian heard about learning the piano from Ning Shouxu and came over to take a look.

The scorching sun evaporated the noise, and the sound of the guzheng music was particularly clear. Empress Xian walked from the gate to the courtyard and looked into the house in confusion.

What kind of song is this? It’s quite simple and nice to listen to.

If it was complicated and beautiful, Empress Xian would not have reacted like this. It is the most rare to have simple and beautiful sounds, which gives a feeling of returning to nature.

For fear of disturbing the people inside, Empress Xian stood under the eaves and did not go in.

She slowly frowned. Although she had never heard this piece of music before, it was obvious that the player had handled some of the connections and tones incorrectly.

This is outrageous! Who is ruining such a good song?

Empress Xian stepped over the threshold and looked inside angrily.

Oh, it’s my little cutie playing the guitar!

She walked happily behind Xia Jing and touched the boy's hair: "Jing'er plays the piano so well!"

"I seem to have played some parts wrong." Xia Jing was not satisfied with his performance.

Empress Xian hurriedly comforted her: "There's nothing wrong with that. Jing'er plays the piano the best!"

"Really?" Xia Jing looked at Concubine Xian with suspicion. He was playing the instrument from memory and vaguely felt that the pitch was off.

"Of course it's true. What song did Jing'er play?" Empress Xian asked again.

"Jingle bells." Xia Jing replied.

Yes, it is the must-learn piece in elementary school, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, the globally popular song.

"Ling'er Ding Dong?" Empress Xian frowned. The name of this song was not very serious.

"It does have the crisp sound of a bell." Xiao Yue interrupted.

It turned out to be Ling'er. Empress Xian remained calm and asked, "Where did Jing'er learn this?"

"I forgot, I seem to have heard it somewhere." Xia Jing scratched his head.

The question is, I don’t know. You can’t say you learned it in your previous life.

In his previous life, Xia Jing had never learned music. He learned this song when he was playing games with his little cousin. There were musical instruments in the game, so he learned it to please his little cousin.

In addition to Jingle Bells, Xia Jing also knows some classic songs. Since he plays them on the glass of a mobile phone, it is very easy to learn.

Also, because he used DoReMi to play these songs in his previous life, Xia Jing had no idea which string to pluck on the guzheng.

"Jing'er, play it again." Empress Xian sat beside Xia Jing.

Xia Jing played Jingle Bells again. This time he corrected two mistakes, but there were still a few notes he was not sure about.

Empress Xian placed the small guzheng in front of herself and began to play it.

"That's the feeling." Xia Jing was surprised.

He looked at Concubine Xian and muttered, "Concubine Xian is lying to me. I was clearly wrong just now!"

"How can you say it's wrong? It just means Jing'er is still heading towards the right path." Concubine Xian pinched the boy's face. "Just like Jing'er was going to Fuqing Palace and passed by the Imperial Garden. Can you say he went the wrong way? He just hasn't reached Fuqing Palace yet."

Xia Jing touched his chin. What Concubine Xian said seemed to make sense. It was not a mistake, but it was just that they had not reached their destination yet... What the hell!

To go from Jingyixuan to Fuqing Palace, you don’t even need to pass by the Imperial Garden, you’re just going in the wrong direction!

If in the previous life, Empress Xian must have been a master at giving inspirational speeches!

Xia Jing stood up, sat in Empress Xian's arms, and asked her to teach him the correct way to sing Jingle Bells.

Xiao Yue felt itchy and joined in, and Yi Qiu moved the guzheng from Jingyixuan.

Even the same simple piece of music can have different styles in the hands of different pianists.

Empress Xian played quietly, and the music was like bells blown by the wind in the wilderness. Xiao Yue played happily, and the bells on her fingertips were tied to the wrists of naughty children.

As Xia Jing was playing, he somehow landed on the table and picked up a piece of watermelon.

After a while, Concubine Xian and Xiao Yue also had a piece of watermelon in their hands.

Summer can be without guzheng, but it cannot be without watermelon.

The three of them stared at the scorching sun outside, feeling the heat around them, their energy gone. After finishing her melon, Empress Xian played the lute for a while longer. The bell rang feebly, like it was tied to a camel's neck, swaying in the yellow sand.

Pushing Guzheng aside, Empress Xian lay on the table: "It's so hot."

Xia Jing lay down beside Concubine Xian: "It's so hot."

Xiao Yue looked at Yi Qiu, who hurried out the door and said, "I'll take Bing away."

There was an ice cellar in the palace, and ice was distributed every summer to cool the concubines.

Because ice is difficult to store, people only go to the ice storage to get it when they need it.
