The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1835 Having more concubines isn't without its advantages.

The two were having so much fun that they didn't even notice Cheng Youning! Cheng Youning coughed loudly, and Nan Jinyue finally snapped out of her daze and quickly bowed to Cheng Youning! "This concubine, Nan, greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No need for formalities!" Cheng Youning said this very reluctantly. "Why did you stop my dog?"

Nan Jinyue said, "This greyhound is a gift from my Southern Yan Kingdom to the Emperor. I played with it quite well on the way to the marriage alliance, and it pounced on me as soon as it saw me!"

"A bunch of nonsense! Big Yellow. Let's go!" Cheng Youning didn't like listening to this girl talk; strictly speaking, he didn't like listening to any of the concubines in the Crown Prince's residence talk!

Big Yellow stared longingly at Nan Jinyue, clearly unwilling to leave. Cheng Youning felt extremely humiliated and said sternly, "Big Yellow, do you want me to sell you to a dog meat restaurant and have the butcher chop off your head?"

Da Huang understood, but he just couldn't bear to part with Nan Jinyue!

Cheng Youning angrily said to Qiao Rong, "Take Da Huang away!"

Qiao Rong deftly slipped the collar around the dog's neck. The big yellow dog pawed hard on the ground, growling pitifully.

Seeing it like this only made Cheng Youning angrier! "Qiao Rong, take it out and sell it! Any dog ​​that doesn't obey this prince is sold, especially one that can't even catch a rabbit!"

Upon hearing that the dog was to be sold, Nan Jinyue immediately knelt down and begged, "Your Highness, this dog is the most outstanding hunting dog in my Southern Yan Kingdom. It always comes out on top in every hunt!"

Cheng Youning put her hands behind her back and held her chin high. "What can rank first in your Southern Yan Kingdom is nothing in Fengqi. Ordinary spirit dogs are everywhere in Fengqi! Also, since you came here for a marriage alliance, don't be thinking about your old homeland while you're under someone else's roof! Don't mention the words 'Southern Yan Kingdom' again!"

"Yes! I wouldn't dare do that again. I just wanted to tell Your Highness that this greyhound is exceptional. It was trained by the best dog trainer! Communicating with it only requires a gesture or a command!"

Cheng Youning became interested. "What's the password? What are the hand gestures?"

"Your Highness, let me demonstrate for you!"

Cheng Youning nodded, and Nan Jinyue got up to demonstrate how to run a dog. Nan Jinyue was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her body was as light as a swallow, gliding gracefully. The whole process was very agile, and she ran very fast. After several laps, she wasn't even out of breath! Cheng Youning understood that this dog was not obedient, but it obeyed commands and gestures!

So he started training dogs like Nan Jinyue! Cheng Youning learned things quickly and liked dogs, so in no time he learned all the dog training commands and gestures, and then he started training dogs outside his main hall.

Normally, when Cheng Youning trains the dog, Qiao Rong is the only one by his side. But today, Nan Jinyue is with him instead! Nan Jinyue is fifteen or sixteen years old. She is lively and active. She would clap and cheer for the person and the dog from time to time. When she hears the cheers, Cheng Youning smiles. Once they start playing, they forget about time!

Qiao Rong was six years older than Cheng Youning. He had been serving Cheng Youning since he was ten, and now he was seventeen. What does seventeen mean? It means he was both a teenager and an adult! Every time he returned to Hujia Village to visit his parents and younger brother, his mother would urge him to get married soon! She would nag him, saying that all the boys he grew up with in Hujia Village were married and had children, while Qiao Rong, the most successful one, was still alone! But what did his mother know? Qiao Rong was the Crown Prince's attendant, follower, servant, and personal bodyguard. Let's just say he took care of everything for Cheng Youning, from his eating and drinking to his personal hygiene. He had to take care of what was his responsibility, and he also had to worry about things that weren't. For example, right now, the sun was already setting, and after noon it would be late afternoon. Even if he hadn't been punished with the "Crown Prince's Instructions," he should have been studying at the Imperial Academy by now!

Qiao Rong knew it would spoil the fun, but he still offered a reminder, because it was his duty, and the Emperor would hold him accountable if he didn't do it well! "Your Highness, it's getting late, let's go inside and copy the Crown Prince's instructions!"

Everyone in the Crown Prince's residence knew that the Crown Prince was under house arrest and that he had been engrossed in copying the "Crown Prince's Instructions" these past two days. Nan Jinyue also knew about this! Seeing that the Crown Prince was in high spirits, she said, "Your Highness, how about I help you copy the 'Crown Prince's Instructions'?"

Cheng Youning's eyes lit up. Qiao Rong had been helping him these past two days. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to finish writing the "Crown Prince's Instructions," which was as thick as a heavenly book, in ten days. After only two days, he was already dizzy, his eyes were blurry, and his wrists ached. He couldn't even hold chopsticks for lunch!

Cheng Youning was more than happy to oblige. "Very well! Since Consort Nan can share my burdens, then I'll give you a chance! Qiao Rong, find her a copy of 'The Crown Prince's Instructions' and have Consort Nan take it back and copy it!"

Qiao Rong frowned instead, "Your Highness, isn't this inappropriate?"

Nan Jinyue said, "What's wrong with that? Didn't you see that His Highness the Crown Prince is training the spirit tiger? How can he be in two places at this time to write the 'Crown Prince's Instructions'? I have time, and I'm willing to help His Highness write the 'Crown Prince's Instructions'."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Youning smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth. "That's right, whether you write it for me or Consort Nan writes it for me, it doesn't matter who writes it!"

"But……"

"Alright, stop with the nagging. Quickly find a copy of 'The Crown Prince's Instructions' for Consort Nan and have her go back and copy it. If she copies it twice for me, I can finally give my wrists a rest!"

Qiao Rong was speechless and could only go back into the room to get Nan Jinyue a copy of "The Crown Prince's Instructions"!

Where there are many women, there are few secrets, and the same is true in the Crown Prince's harem. It's only been a short while! The other concubines have already heard that Consort Nan is helping the Crown Prince copy the "Crown Prince's Instructions" to curry favor with Cheng Youning, and none of them want to be left behind. And look! The other three princesses who came in person have also arrived. They are all young, around the same age as Cheng Youning, and one is even a year younger than her. They chattered excitedly as they helped Cheng Youning copy the "Crown Prince's Instructions."

Upon seeing this, Cheng Youning realized that having more concubines wasn't without its advantages; they were coming in handy at this moment. So, Cheng Youning immediately instructed Qiao Rong to find three more copies of "Crown Prince's Instructions" and give one to each of them!

The concubines were also delighted to receive the "Crown Prince's Instructions." How wonderful it was to share the Crown Prince's burdens! If the Crown Prince was happy, their marriage alliances would have meaning! Despite their young age, they all understood the mission of these marriage alliances! They were chosen to go and petition for a marriage alliance because of their excellence in every aspect!

The concubines had all disappeared with their copies of "The Crown Prince's Instructions," but Cheng Youning was still grinning from ear to ear! It was as if she had found gold!

At this moment, Qiao Rong stood aside and spoiled the mood, "Your Highness, the Emperor will review this copied 'Crown Prince's Instructions.' These concubines are all young; can they really help you? What if they mess it up?"
