The villain prince is three and a half years old

"Mother, calm down, calm down," he promised solemnly, "I won't run around anymore tomorrow!"

Xiao Yue drank the tea, sighed deeply, and looked at her child helplessly.

"Has mother heard Jing'er say this several times?" she asked.

Xia Jing looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds were really white.

"Forget it, if you want to go to the laundry, go ahead. But before you go, tell me and bring Xiao Tianzi with you." Xiao Yue finally compromised.

After listening to Jing'er and Xiao Tianzi's descriptions, she felt that Aunt Huijing was a good person and there was no need to worry.

"Mom is the best!" Xia Jing kissed Xiao Yue on the face.

"You are only allowed to go to the laundry department and not anywhere else! You and Xiao Tianzi should remember this!" Xiao Yue was worried and pulled Xia Jing aside to remind him.

"Yeah." Xia Jing nodded repeatedly.

"Swear." Xiao Yue raised three fingers and taught Xia Jing how to swear.

Xia Jing followed suit.

"'If I violate this, I will never be able to eat lotus cakes again.'" Xiao Yue added.

Such a big deal! Xia Jing looked at her in shock.

"Hurry up and tell me." She pinched Xia Jing's face.

Xia Jing learned this sentence reluctantly.

Xiao Yue finally felt relieved. Ever since the incident with Rongpin, Jing'er had become much more lively and rebellious. She was both happy and worried, not knowing whether this change was good or bad.

Xia Jing had lunch, went into the house, pretended to take a nap, and clicked on the "Wish Paper Crane".

【Extraction failed】

[Please choose a piece of white paper and fold it into a paper crane to carry the prop effect]

You actually have to fold it yourself!

If you think about it carefully, you can fold the paper crane yourself in the game. After you get the wish paper crane, the game will play the animation of folding the paper crane.

Fortunately, he knew how to fold a paper crane.

Jumping out of bed, he took a piece of rice paper from the desk and cut it into four equal sides.

It is not difficult to fold a paper crane, but I have not folded it for a long time and I have forgotten how to do it. It took me some time to recall and try again, and the paper crane I folded was ugly.

But it’s a paper crane after all, extract it!

【Extraction failed】

[Please choose a piece of white paper and fold it into a paper crane to carry the prop effect]

Aren’t the paper cranes folded and placed here?!

Xia Jing shook the paper crane in his hand, and with a little too much force, the crane fell apart.

Shouldn't it be folded more neatly? The paper cranes in the game animation are simply perfect.

He took another piece of rice paper and started folding it again.

This time it’s basically in the shape of a paper crane, but it’s not very pretty.

Extract again, still failed.

He was a little bit upset. No, what system would force its owner to fold paper cranes?

"Hey, the young master is folding a paper crane?" Yi Qiu came closer. "This rice paper is too thin to fold. You need to use pear blossom paper."

It turns out it was because of this paper!

Xia Jing hurriedly said: "Sister, get some paper and help me wipe it... help me fold it."

I’m so used to erasing words that I almost made a mistake!

Yi Qiu and Xiao Yue grew up together and were as close as sisters. It was Xiao Yue's tacit consent that Yi Qiu called her sister.

"Young master, look, I folded it very well." Yi Qiu patted his chest and took out some harder pear blossom paper.

She wasn't lying; the paper crane she folded was perfectly folded, practically perfect. But this lousy system wouldn't recognize anyone else's folds!

Xia Jing could only learn from Yi Qiu.

By the window, Xiao Yue was holding the Shuiyun silk and thinking about the style of clothes. She glanced at them from time to time and smiled.

Her well-behaved Jing'er is back again. It's so nice to be at home folding paper cranes with her maid and basking in the sun!

Xiao Tianzi was sweeping the yard, and her restless heart finally calmed down after two days of restlessness. Origami crane, please stop running around!

The sun tilted to the west, and the sunlight showed signs of fading. Xia Jing finally folded a nearly perfect paper crane.

[Extraction successful]

A ray of light that only Xia Jing could see flashed across the paper crane.

It's finally done.

"Young master is awesome!" Yi Qiu praised.

"It's nothing to mention." Xia Jing waved his hand modestly.

He held the paper crane carefully and walked to Xiao Yue.

"Mom, this is for you." He handed the paper crane to Xiao Yue.

"Master, this is the best one the young master has ever made!" Yi Qiu added.

"Thank you Jing'er." Xiao Yue smiled and stroked Xia Jing's hair.

[Bound character-Xiao Yue]

[Wish Generating]

The wish will be played in the form of a dream animation and will not appear until the night, after you fall asleep.

Xia Jing returned to the table and looked at the failed products.

These are not trash, they are treasures.

He put away all the paper cranes, including the ugly ones made with rice paper, and placed them all in a small box.

This small box was originally used to store Buddhist scriptures. It has a smooth interior and opens and closes smoothly, making it very suitable for storing valuables.

He held the box, took out a medium-quality paper crane and handed it to Yi Qiu.

"Thank you, young master!" Yi Qiu said happily.

【Loyalty: 89】

"?"

Xia Jing took out another high-quality paper crane and handed it to her.

【Loyalty: 89】

"?"

"Bad Yi Qiu!" Xia Jing frowned, closed the box and ran out.

Yi Qiu was confused.

In the yard, Xia Jing took out a low-quality paper crane and handed it to Xiao Tianzi.

Odazi immediately knelt down.

"How could this servant have been so worthy as to receive a paper crane folded by the young master himself? It is truly a great honor! I will definitely place it in my house and pray for the young master every day!"

Loyalty: 72 → 73

now it's right!

"Good boy, Tianzi." Xia Jing patted his leg to show encouragement.

Chapter 13 Mother's Stickiness

The next evening, Lady Yu's punishment came down. The messenger was not a eunuch from the Imperial Household Department, but a female official from the Palace Administration Department.

The Imperial Household Department represented the emperor, while the Imperial Palace Administration Department represented the empress. The imperial edicts for punishing lower-ranking concubines were usually issued by the Imperial Palace Administration Department.

The female official, who had the air of Nun Emei, read out the Queen's decree and first fined Concubine Yu three months' regular silver, which was the concubines' monthly pocket money. She also fined Concubine Yu to go to the Palace Administration Office for seven consecutive days to receive etiquette instruction.

This punishment wasn't severe, but it wasn't light either. The silver was a minor matter, but the etiquette training was a more serious one. A record would be left at the Palace Administration Office. Later generations would look back and realize that Yu Meiren must have been guilty of a moral failure.

Xia Jing was quite satisfied. This was basically the limit of punishment. It must be that Eunuch Xu helped him to confuse right and wrong with Emperor Kangning... and helped him to argue for his rights. It was not only because he accidentally injured the prince, but also because he colluded with Concubine Rong to retaliate.

In fact, Emperor Kangning's original punishment was even more severe. The princes were older, and the harem had been restless recently, so he wanted to use Concubine Yu as an example.

Rongpin begged the Queen, and the Queen begged Emperor Kangning, and only then was Concubine Yu saved.

……

For the time being, Xia Jing just wanted to be a good boy and had no intention of competing for the throne. Whether in age or status, he was too immature and needed to develop slowly.

A key to growth is the game's magical props. It's possible to work hard on your own, but how can you compare to using cheats?

He urged Xiao Yue to wash up and go to bed early.

Wish dream, start!

The night in the palace was exceptionally quiet. The gate of Jingyixuan was closed, and a few lanterns emitted noisy lights, which were blocked outside the house.

In the drawer of the wooden cabinet beside the bed, Xiao Yue's treasured wish paper cranes emitted a bright light, contrasting with the moon in the sky.

The light really turned into the moon, reflecting in the dreams of the mother and son.

Xia Jing saw the desert with a crescent moon, and he himself rode a steed, galloping under the night sky; he also saw a pleasure boat with the moon reflected in a cup, and he embraced women on both sides, reveling in wanton joy; he also saw a courtyard with the moon as bright as a lamp, and he took a saw and made a wooden chair...

The dream is endless, from a knight in the desert to a playboy on a pleasure boat, to a carpenter and so on, covering almost all identities.

In the morning, Xia Jing sat up and recalled last night's dream in confusion.

He was a little panicked, not knowing what Xiao Yue's wish was. Maybe she wanted him to be able to ride a horse in the desert at night, to play with the courtesan on a pleasure boat, or to use a saw to make benches?

He is not the all-round soldier king of the city!

He hurriedly called up the system interface to check, felt relieved at first, and then brought it up again after a moment.

[Wish Holder: Xiao Yue]

[Content: I hope Jing'er lives a happy life]

The good news is that you don’t have to become an all-round soldier. The bad news is how can you live a happy life?

In the game, when the player who is the tenth prince uses a paper crane on Xiao Yue, his wish is mostly for the player and the ninth prince to fall in love with each other. As long as the intimacy between the player and the ninth prince reaches 80, it is considered completed.

Now that he has become the ninth prince, the difficulty has not decreased, but increased?

Normally, a person's life is evaluated after their death. Does this mean the task can only be completed after their death? Is the reward saved for the next life?

From the perspective of game playability, it shouldn't be so outrageous.

Perhaps there is some unknown mechanism.

Xia Jing began to miss the game forum. If there were a forum, he could look up guides.

With sorrow and doubt, Xia Jing changed his clothes and washed up with Yi Qiu's help, and sat at the dinner table.

"Look, Jing'er," Xiao Yue smiled as she opened the food box, "Here are your favorite lotus cakes."

The ingredients used in lotus cakes aren't rare, but the craftsmanship is exquisite. The layers of dough, each as thin as a cicada's wing, form a blooming water lotus. A chef who can make them well is a sought-after treasure.

Xia Jing looked up. He was worried about his wish, so he had no time to pay attention to the cakes. He was not a child, and he would be so happy that he would forget his worries after eating a cake.

"Come." Xiao Yue picked up the lotus pastry and brought it to Xia Jing's mouth.

Xia Jing didn't want to make Xiao Yue worry, so he could only pretend to be happy and took a bite of the lotus cake.

Not to mention, the chefs in ancient times also had some skills. This crispy and sweet lotus pastry does have a unique flavor.

When ancient people evaluated delicious food, they paid attention to its color, fragrance and taste. Color corresponds to vision, fragrance corresponds to smell, and taste corresponds to taste.

In fact, there should be a fourth item - taste, which corresponds to the tactile sensation of teeth chewing food.

This lotus pastry is excellent in terms of color, aroma, taste and texture. In addition, the person feeding it is the charming and gentle Xiao Zhaoyi, which makes the dining experience perfect.

Xia Jing couldn't help but indulge in it. He quickly ate half of the plate and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
