In front of the gate of Jiang'an Hou Mansion, Xia Jingyun led everyone to stand in front of the gate.
A carriage stopped in front of them. Two palace ladies were accompanying the carriage, and a group of imperial guards followed behind them.
The palace maid opened the curtain, and Grandma Yuan appeared in front of everyone, holding the little kid Dongfang Bai, Prince of Jiaodong County.
Stepping off the horse stool, Nanny Yuan smiled and looked at Xia Jingyun who was about to salute. She stretched out her hand and said, "Mr. Xia, everyone, there is no need to be polite. Let's go into the house and talk."
There were many people at the gate of the Hou Mansion, so everyone entered the house together without saying anything and sat down in the main hall.
The little kid naturally sat on the main seat, accompanied by Grandma Yuan, looking at Xia Jingyun who was the first on the left, "Mr. Come and thank you.”
After saying that, Nanny Yuan looked at the kid and said, "Your Highness."
The little kid pretended not to hear and looked up at the sky.
Aunt Yuan's expression froze, and her face gradually darkened, "Your Highness, I will report every move you make to your Majesty when I get back."
The little kid's face fell, he pouted, jumped off the chair that was still high for him, walked to Xia Jingyun, and bowed perfunctorily, "Thank you."
Aunt Yuan snorted coldly, "Your Highness!"
The little kid gave her a hateful look and was about to speak when Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "No need."
He looked at Aunt Yuan and said, "I, the uncle, will educate him. Sister won't be angry, right?"
Aunt Yuan smiled happily, completely ignoring the little kid's face that instantly collapsed, "I must be very happy to have Mr. Xia personally give me guidance!"
When the little kid saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ran away. Xia Jingyun, who had been prepared for it, grabbed him, put it directly under his arm, and walked towards the study.
"Help! There are rebellious officials and traitors here, and you guys haven't saved them yet! I will report to my father and my mother and concubine when I go back, and punish you for your crimes!"
The Forbidden Army soldiers standing at the door turned a deaf ear, just like stone sculptures, only fools interfered!
Feng Xiuyun was a little worried, "Mother Yuan, will everything be okay?"
Aunt Yuan smiled playfully, "Aren't you still worried about your wishful husband? I'm afraid that's what I meant when I asked Your Highness to come here."
Feng Xiuyun took the initiative and said, "I'll go and have a look."
Regardless of what he was thinking here, at the door of the study, Xia Jingyun carried the little kid to the small dam outside the study, released him, looked at the little kid who was still showing his teeth, and said, "Okay, stop screaming, there's nothing here. Someone comes to save you.”
The little kid Dongfang Bai looked at him with some fear. He knew that this man was his mother's brother, and he might really dare to beat him.
But Xia Jingyun has no real intention of enmity with this little brat. If he is too cruel, he will be put on the throne in the future, and he will be punished by Emperor Wen to kill Bo Zhao. Wouldn't he be dumbfounded?
He asked the boy to bring two chairs and a desk out of the study, sat on one himself, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I won't do anything today."
Dongfang Bai's face relaxed, and he climbed onto the chair and sat opposite each other.
Xia Jingyun crossed his legs, smiled, and asked the boy to find him a small hammer.
Dongfang Bai was so frightened that he trembled and pretended to be calm, "What are you doing! You can't move the hammer, right?"
Xia Jingyun smiled mockingly, "Prince, prince, that's it?"
Dongfang Bai immediately said: "You have reached the crown, I am still young, and my strength is very different. I am not afraid that I am the fool!"
Xia Jingyun nodded and took the small hammer from the servant's hand, "Don't worry, I won't do it if I tell you not to do it. Let me ask you a question, do you think you are smart?"
Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes.
"Then let's make a bet. If you can make this hammer stand sideways, I will admit that you are smart."
But the education of the prince is indeed different from that of ordinary children. Dongfang rolled his eyes and sneered, "What's the point of admitting that I'm smart? Do I need you to admit it?"
Xia Jingyun simply rolled up his sleeves.
"I'll try! I'll try!"
Dongfang Bai jumped out of his chair, walked to the table, picked up the small hammer and rolled it around with his eyes. Xia Jingyun saw this and sneered, and Dongfang Bai calmed down.
He tried to stand the hammer up at an angle, and tried it a dozen times in various positions, but with no success. He threw the hammer away angrily, "This is impossible! You are trying to amuse me!"
Xia Jingyun said leisurely: "You are stupid, so you just say it's impossible?"
"Then you set one up for me to see!"
"A kid with a big butt is called a loner!" Xia Jingyun jumped over and said, "Watch it!"
He first measured it carefully, tied a rope to one-sixth of the chopsticks, and then tied the other end of the rope to one-third of the hammer. Then he placed the chopsticks on the side of the table and hung the hammer in the air. With.
Dongfang Bai tilted his little head and watched intently, his face full of disdain.
Xia Jingyun seemed unaware, adjusted the angle slightly, and then slowly let go of his hand.
"impossible!"
"Fuck!"
"How did you do it!"
Not only Dongfang Bai's eyes widened and he exclaimed, but the servants on the side were also frightened and blurted out a curse word. Feng Xiuyun looked at it from a distance with her eyes wide open and covering her mouth.
I saw that one end of the hammer was connected to the chopsticks, and the body was tied with a thin rope, and it stood up out of thin air. The key is that one end of the chopsticks was just lightly resting on the side of the table, without any force!
Dongfang Bai's pupils were shocked, he couldn't believe what he saw before his eyes.
He stepped forward, stretched out his finger and tapped the chopsticks lightly.
"Ouch!"
The force balance was broken instantly. The hammer fell to the ground and hit his feet. Fortunately, it was not high from the ground. It only made him scream, but it did not cause any serious harm.
"Want to learn? I'll teach you!"
Xia Jingyun looked at him playfully with a smile. Dongfang Bai's childish nature made him want to nod immediately, but the caution, precaution and arrogance he had developed since childhood in the royal family made him just look at Xia Jingyun warily.
Xia Jingyun didn't force it, and brought a small bottle and a piece of paper, "Can you use this bowl to absorb this piece of paper?"
Dongfang Bai took it over, tried it several times, and shook his head decisively.
Xia Jingyun filled the bottle with water, put the paper on top, and poured it over.
"Wow!" Dongfang Bai jumped up in shock.
"Fuck!"
The boy on the side was confused again.
"Want to learn? I'll teach you!"
Xia Jingyun still smiled and raised his eyebrows. This time, Dongfang Bai did not resist the temptation and nodded heavily.
"Stand still and call me uncle respectfully."
Dongfang Bai climbed back on the chair again and pursed his lips.
Xia Jingyun smiled, poured out the water in the bottle, filled it with rice, and found another chopstick, "Can you lift this bottle with only one chopstick?"
"Can you make your hair fly by itself?"
"Do you know the secret of drilling wood to make fire?"
"Do you know why rocks sink and feathers float?"
"Do you know why you see lightning first and then hear thunder?"
In the main hall, half an hour has passed.
Grandma Yuan could not sit still for a while, and just when she was about to ask, there was a burst of conversation in her ears.
"Uncle! I just need to paste two paper cups, drill holes, and thread them with a thread, so that the wall can have ears?"
"Yes, but that's not what it means. Walls have ears."
"Uncle, the way to lift the bottle with chopsticks is to compact the rice?"
"Well, actually, this is because of friction. Silk is slippery, while coarse cloth is irritating. It's the same principle."
When the two people appeared in front of everyone, everyone was stunned by this scene.
Prince Jiaodong, who had turned his nostrils upward with a look of disdain before, was now holding Xia Jingyun's hand honestly, with a look of obedience and admiration on his face.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back to the palace."
Dongfang Bai's mouth tightened, with a nostalgic look on his face.
"Be obedient today. If you think about your uncle again, just ask Aunt Yuan to take you out of the palace."
As he said this, Xia Jingyun smiled and rubbed his head.
Seeing Dongfang Bai not evading and accepting it calmly, Grandma Yuan's eyes widened. His Highness doesn't like people rubbing his head the most nowadays. His Majesty is the only one who is so lucky that even the Empress subconsciously rubbed his head twice. Everyone would be told, could Mr. Xia really know some magic?
Before leaving, Dongfang Bai stood still and bowed respectfully to Xia Jingyun, "Thank you uncle for your help!"
Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Go back. I'll teach you more fun things next time."
Dongfang Bai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Sitting on the carriage, Nanny Yuan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Your Highness, what did Young Master Xia say to you just now?"
Dongfang Bai looked at her, "Mommy, do you know why we see lightning first and then hear thunder?"
Grandma Yuan:
"Then do you know why the boat is so heavy but can float on the water?"
Grandma Yuan:
Dongfang Bai was bored. He opened the curtain and glanced at Jiang'anhou Mansion with nostalgia. He found that Xia Jingyun hadn't entered yet, so he quickly extended his hand and waved excitedly.
Xia Jingyun also smiled and waved, and didn't put down his hand until the shadow of the carriage guard disappeared from his eyes.
Su Yuanshang said slowly: "In this way, one of the biggest hidden dangers in the future has been temporarily solved."
Xia Jingyun turned to look at him, and the two smart men smiled at each other.
It was getting late quietly. After Xia Jingyun ate in a hurry, he got into the room and started preparing for his mirror project.
Except for glass, he asked Lu Yi, Gongsun Jing, and Chen Fugui to help purchase the raw materials. Each person bought the same thing, and no one knew the entire recipe.
But before work started, he was alerted by Su Yuanshang knocking on the door.
He had explained in advance that Su Yuanshang would definitely not disturb him except for important matters.
Sure enough, as soon as they met, Su Yuanshang said: "There are letters from the Su family and Mr. Zhao. They were sent through the Su family's channels. I checked the paint and it's OK. You can take a look again."
Xia Jingyun's eyes lit up and he reached out to take it. Before he could open it, another figure came running from a distance.
Gongsun Jing said with a bit of breathlessness and excitement of meritorious service: "Master, yesterday we accidentally found out some news about Shi Dingzhong. After verification today, it can be basically confirmed that these are enough to Its overthrown crime!"
After saying that, he also took out a secret letter.
