Chapter 78 The Emperor's Brother is a Devil
Xia Muyan was furious.
At worst, I won't eat for free!
Humph!
When she was about to leave, her eyes fell on the glass cake on the table.
Her big eyes could not move away instantly.
This glass cake is complicated to make, and it is a traditional craft. Currently, only the cook in the emperor's brother's palace can make it.
Xia Muyan thought of the taste of this glass cake, which was soft and fragrant but not greasy. She could eat several in one meal.
She stopped and said with a smile: "Royal brother, I will learn about schoolwork when I grow up. I should still be a child now. I should sleep more and eat more."
As she spoke, she moved her feet stealthily and came to the table. She was about to start with the glass cake she had coveted for a long time.
Xia Rongyu spoke again.
"You are already ten years old, and even your eleventh brother's schoolwork is better than yours. From now on, you are not allowed to eat before you finish your homework."
Xia Muyan collapsed: "Royal brother, schoolwork is schoolwork, and eating is eating. How can these two things be mixed up?"
Xia Rongyu was unmoved. He
even ordered the palace maids beside Xia Muyan.
"Watch the princess carefully. If the princess fails to finish her homework, the food in the small kitchen will be cut off for a day."
Xia Muyan's eyes widened. Her royal brother is a devil!
In the end, Xia Muyan ran out of the East Palace crying.
She came to eat for free, but she didn't get to eat a single bite, and she had to be watched while doing her homework. Woo woo woo, she is so miserable!
She will probably become the first princess in history to be worried to death by homework!
Xia Rongyu shook his head helplessly.
He loves to eat and play, he is already ten years old, but he still has the mentality of a child.
When Xia Rongyu thought of this, another face with baby fat appeared in his mind. She was obviously also a little girl, but as stable as an adult.
She was also ten years old and liked to eat.
Every time she ate something delicious, her eyes seemed to glow.
Xia Rongyu inexplicably felt that the two of them would definitely be able to play together if they met.
He thought about that picture and couldn't help but smile. When
Qiao Niannian appeared in the East Palace, he heard Xia Rongyu's low smile and couldn't help wondering.
"What are you laughing at, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
After a brief surprise, Xia Rongyu couldn't help reminding the little girl in front of him: "Call me brother."
Qiao Niannian obediently called him Brother Crown Prince.
Xia Rongyu spoke calmly.
"Nian'er hasn't come to see the prince for several days."
Qiao Niannian had indeed not come for several days.
She had been busy with cultivation recently and seldom left her room. She would sit there all day.
This time she came to the East Palace, it was her first time going out in the past few days.
She explained.
"I've been quite busy lately."
Xia Rongyu looked at Qiao Niannian carefully. Compared with the previous few days, the baby fat on Qiao Niannian's face had been reduced. He couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.
"Nian'er is still young and needs more sleep. And if you want to cultivate in the future, you can come to the East Palace to find me."
He knew that he could help Qiao Niannian to cultivate more efficiently.
But Qiao Niannian was only willing to sit beside him to practice when she had something to do the last two times, and she hasn't come to see him recently.
Qiao Niannian's eyes lit up. She came here today just to discuss this matter with Xia Rongyu. Now that he took the initiative to bring it up, Qiao Niannian naturally agreed.
But she couldn't take advantage of him for nothing.
"Brother Crown Prince, when I recover, I will help you find the person who stole your fate, and I will never let anything happen to you."
Xia Rongyu nodded gently.
"I still have some official business here, you can have fun by yourself."
"There are snacks made by Chef Yu on the table, try them and see how they taste."
After Xia Rongyu finished speaking, he thought of Qiao Niannian's taste, and even went out specially to order two more dishes for lunch.
After saying this, thinking of Xia Muyan's temper, he spoke again: "Keep an eye on the Tenth Princess. If you don't finish your homework, you are not allowed to eat."
The guard nodded calmly. He could already foresee how devastated the princess would be after hearing this.
At noon, Qiao Niannian stayed in the East Palace to eat.
This time, there were several fresh dishes.
As for the Tenth Princess' bedroom, there was no lunch because she didn't finish her homework.
Xia Muyan cried at that time and wanted to go to her mother to complain, but was persuaded by the palace maid.
"Princess, don't go. It's useless to go. Have you forgotten that the Queen Mother always listens to the Prince."
"That's right! If the Prince knew that you didn't do your homework and complained, you might not have food to eat at night."
Xia Muyan didn't go to complain in the end, but did her homework seriously.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to eat all kinds of delicious food.
The tenth princess thought that a person as cold-hearted as her royal brother would probably not be able to find a crown princess in the future.
Thinking of this, she felt much better.
Qiao Nian Nian didn't know what was going on between the siblings. She had lunch and stayed in the East Palace to practice in the afternoon.
Staying with Xia Rongyu, practicing really achieved twice the result with half the effort.
After she came from the book, she had her own strength. Later, with the help of Xia Rongyu, she recovered to 65%. The remaining half was obtained by her hard work and daily practice for so long.
In the end, she didn't learn as much as she would have learned by staying with Xia Rongyu for half a day.
No wonder she attracted the attention of evil practitioners and ghosts. The temptation was too great.
Fortunately, her heart was stable enough.
In the evening, it was time for dinner.
Xia Rong and Liu Qiao Niannian were having dinner together, and Qiao Niannian felt embarrassed.
She couldn't feel comfortable absorbing other people's spiritual energy and eating other people's food.
When she was thinking about how to refuse, Xia Rongyu spoke first: "Actually, I invited you to dinner because I wanted to tell you about the Dragon Vein."
Qiao Niannian remembered.
The last time Xia Rongyu was in danger, it was because of the Dragon Vein.
The Dragon Vein was related to the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty, the royal family, and the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion. Qiao Niannian really wanted to know the result.
It was not until after dinner that Xia Rongyu talked about the Dragon Vein.
"In the royal family, there has always been an ancestral precept about the dragon vein."
"The dragon vein is the place where the dragon rises, and it is also the dragon vein of a dynasty. If the ruler has a good dragon vein, the country will have a long-lasting fortune. Similarly, if the dragon vein is destroyed, it means the country will perish."
"It is said that the last emperor of the ancient country, which has already perished, discovered the dragon vein of the Xia Dynasty."
"At that time, the Xia Dynasty was not as powerful as the ancient country. The national teacher trusted by the emperor of the ancient country discovered that there was purple air rising from the Xia Dynasty, just like hundreds of dragons rolling, which was not good for the ancient country."
"The ancient country was afraid that the Xia Dynasty would threaten itself, so it arranged for the national teacher to cut the dragon vein."
"The Imperial Master cut off ninety-nine dragon veins in a row during the Great Xia Dynasty. Finally, he saw a "hanging dragon" three feet off the ground. The Imperial Master thought that the hanging dragon could not become a climate, so he ignored it and went back to report. It was this "hanging dragon" that became the dragon vein of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"And now, there is an underground river under the dragon head, which washes the dragon vein every day. Once a long time passes, it will form a climate and separate the dragon head from the dragon body, and the dragon vein will be cut off."
"The supervisor went back and said that the only way to solve the dragon vein problem is to fill up the underground river."
"But I don't know how much soil is needed to fill up this underground river, and labor is also a problem. It is unknown whether it will be useful or not."
