Chapter 416: Don’t Bully The Third Prince
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In short, those restless thoughts were suppressed. When “There’s a Book House” officially became the holy land for the county students to study, Xiaoxiao wanted to see if Shen Tianci was suffering out of the affection of a friend. Unexpectedly, she realized that he was reading the book happily. He was even unwilling to leave when his servants called him home for dinner.
“You really like it?”
Shen Tianci was also quite puzzled. “Why are your books so interesting? My parents only let me read the Four Books and Five Classics, but I have a headache when I look at those things. However, I like the mountains, rivers, winds, and soil. Sigh, Xiaoxiao, Ah… Third Prince, did you really see so many strange scenes on the way to the border city?”
Seeing that he really liked it, Xiaoxiao was no longer worried. She happily pulled Rong Yan home to see her identical twin brothers that day.
She had just stepped out of “There’s a Book House” when she heard the excited announcement from the space again—
[Ding… Congratulations to Master for successfully activating the hidden mission—Boundless Ocean of Books. Reward: 100,000 points!]
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully activating the hidden reward mechanism. From now on, you will obtain a point every time the books in the bookhouse are read.]
There were at least thousands of books in this library, right?
The students were diligent and read a lot every day. This was another pleasant surprise.
She sighed. “Aiya, God is chasing after me to give me points. This damn charm of mine.”
Rong Yan loved this behavior of hers. He counted the days and was about to leave, so he went to look for Ning Fengnian that night.
Ning Fengnian was already puzzled as to why the Third Prince was looking for him. Before he could react, he saw Rong Yan lift his clothes and kneel down on one knee. “Uncle Ning, I want to propose marriage to Xiaoxiao. I hope you and Auntie Ning will agree.”
Ning Fengnian had mixed feelings. “Shouldn’t we ask General Xiao and Mr. Gu from the Imperial Capital about this?”
Rong Yan insisted. “Because in Xiaoxiao’s heart, you’re also her biological parents. I want your approval first.”
“Rong Yan swears to the heavens that I will never leave Xiaoxiao no matter what happens from now on. I will believe her, respect her, protect her, and accompany her until the end of my life.”
Perhaps it was because he was too serious, Ning Fengnian was agitated and immediately helped him up with red eyes. “Good child, good child. Ah, no, I mean Third Prince…”
Rong Yan shook his head. “Uncle Ning, I know you can’t treat me like Ah Yan in the past, but at this moment, I’m not proposing as a prince. I’m just…” He paused and blushed. He said firmly, “I’m just a man who likes Xiaoxiao.”
Xiaoxiao, who was carrying a plate and was about to enter, was speechless.
She was shy but happy. She decided to leave the space to the two men and returned to her room to study the space mine.
The level 50 activation of the mine function must be because of the iron mines in the space warehouse. She thought about it and realized that space never did meaningless things and did not use useless functions. However, she still could not figure it out for the time being.
It was impossible for the Imperial Court to allow the commoners to open private mines. Hence, first of all, the iron ore produced by the space could not be taken out. However, it did not seem to be of any use other than keeping it in the warehouse.
She couldn’t just play in the space, right?
After thinking about it for the entire night, she decided to sleep in peace. When she woke up the next day, she realized that Rong Yan was looking at her evasively.
Heh, how could she miss the shy Little Big Brother?
The more embarrassed Rong Yan was to look at her, the more Xiaoxiao had to deliberately approach him. This scene made Ning Fengnian, who had just come out, pat Xiaoxiao’s head. “You child! Don’t bully the Third Prince.”
Xiaoxiao covered her head so that it did not hurt and complained, “Father, listen to what you’re saying. Is it reasonable?!”
Rong Yan smiled and said to her, “How is that unreasonable? Although I’m a prince, you’re also a princess of the Imperial Court. I just received a letter from the Imperial Capital saying that your appointment ceremony is ready on the day of your coming of age.”
Then, he bowed to Ning Fengnian. “Uncle Ning, we have the emperor’s orders. We have to take our leave.”
Although Ning Fengnian couldn’t bear to part with Xiaoxiao, he knew that she was no longer the child who could stay in Xijiang County as long as she wanted. His eyes turned red. “I understand. You have to be careful on the way. It’s good to leave early. This way, you can walk slower and not have to work so hard.”
Xiaoxiao hugged him. “Father, why don’t you come to the Imperial Capital too?”
After saying that, she felt that this plan was feasible.
She counted with her fingers and said, “Father and Mother don’t have any elders to serve now, so you can come and go as you please. Eldest Brother has to go to the Imperial Capital for his exams sooner or later. I’m willing to let Eldest Brother stay in the General’s Residence, but I’m afraid that Eldest Brother won’t agree. When the time comes, you guys will definitely be worried. Why don’t the entire family move over?”
“This way, we can stay close and visit at any time.”
“And my younger brothers. Didn’t Father want them to study in the future? It’s much more convenient to find a teacher in the capital.”
“Second Brother has a family now. If Second Sister-in-law is willing, it’s also very good to open a milk tea shop in the Imperial Capital together. You don’t know, but other than the Li Family, the others who imitated our milk tea shop have all learned nothing. It’s disgusting!”
Ning Fengnian hesitated. “That’s not good. I still have so much land here.”
Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “Father wants to farm. There are also manors near the Imperial Capital.”
She blinked and sighed. “Sigh, Father, you don’t know. My hands are itchy in the capital too. I always want to plant something, but no one helps me.”
“I want to eat the fruits and vegetables I planted. The ones bought outside don’t taste good.”
“You know my General Mother. She’s an expert in war, but she doesn’t know anything about farming. The uncles in the residence are all great heroes on the battlefield. They’re extraordinary and skilled in martial arts, but it’s not appropriate for them to pick up a hoe and go to the ground.”
“My father is even worse. Other than studying delicacies, he usually has to take care of General’s mother. Perhaps when the Imperial Court orders it, the two of them will rush to the battlefield and leave me alone in the empty General’s Residence.”
“Father, I’m so pitiful. There’s actually no one to talk to in that unfamiliar Imperial Capital!”
“If Father and Mother weren’t at home, I wouldn’t even be able to find a meal partner. It would be too desolate!”
Ning Fengnian was successfully tricked by her and really took this matter to heart.
Rong Yan, who was a bystander, scratched Xiaoxiao’s nose after he left. “If there’s no one to accompany you, what about me?”
Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and hugged his arm to shake it. “Aiya, Little Big Brother, since you already know that I was tricking Father and Mother to go to the Imperial Capital, don’t expose me.”
The matter of returning to the capital could not be delayed. After the two of them made arrangements for “There’s a Book House”, they went to see Gongsun Zhongjing again. The first embryonic form of the medicine was emerging, but the medicinal effect and preservation effect still needed time to be verified. Xiaoxiao could not cheat for him on this matter and could only use other methods to cheer him on.
Here, this is a roasted pigeon. You can get busy after eating it..’
