Chapter 143 Jiujiu Likes Brother Dijiang

Di Jiang said this, but finally he couldn't help it, raised his head and looked at Jiujiu with affection.

Jiujiu is almost five years old. The babyish look on her body has disappeared a little. She is not as milky as before, but has become more sweet and soft like a little girl. Her facial features are also clearer and more delicate.

Today, her hair was all tied up, not in a bun. There were a few colorful flowers in her hair. She was wearing a pink skirt with a few ribbons on her shoulders, which swayed back and forth with her movements.

The little girl is so pretty.

He was reluctant to do so, but it was useless.

Dijiang has already admitted it.

Jiujiu was anxious. She hurried forward and took Dijiang's hand without any taboos, saying, "Brother Dijiang, why don't you want to be Jiujiu's teacher?"

"..."Di Jiang didn't want to say it.

Dijiang's gaze fell on Jiujiu's hand holding his. Jiujiu was young and ignorant, but he was not young anymore.

He was already ten and a half, going on eleven.

His heart was warmed and his ears turned red. He quickly broke free from Jiujiu's hand and said, "Princess, men and women should not touch each other."

"You don't call me Jiujiu anymore?" Jiujiu pouted and almost cried because of sadness.

Dijiang was horrified when he saw Jiujiu like this. He said, "Good Jiujiu, don't be like this. Brother Dijiang will be distressed."

"Then don't resign." Jiujiu choked up and said, "As long as you don't resign, I won't cry."

"But, but..."

"But what? Brother Dijiang, can you just tell me directly?"

Jiujiu was completely confused and had no idea why Dijiang resigned.

It happened very suddenly.

Just at this moment, Nanny Gui, who was helping Jiujiu get clothes, came in and muttered, "Princess, I just heard something. The Secretary Qi, Lord Qi, went to ask the emperor to accept you as his last disciple."

"ah?"

Jiujiu felt as if struck by lightning, his body swayed and he almost fell down.

Di Jiang quickly supported her, "Jiujiu, stand firm."

Jiujiu couldn't stand steadily, and she broke away from Dijiang's hand, and sat down on the ground in a slump, crying, "Jiujiu, why is she so unlucky today? It's fine if Brother Dijiang doesn't want to be my teacher."

"That nasty Qi Zhongshu, I already let the dogs chase him away, but he still wants to be my teacher."

"I have rejected him many times, why doesn't he understand? I don't want to be his last disciple. I'm afraid he will beat me."

“Wuwuwu…”

Dijiang: “…”

So, the princess has no intention of becoming Qi Zhongshu's last disciple?

He didn't know the whole picture and misunderstood.

Then why doesn’t the princess study hard recently?

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

Dijiang didn't think deeply about it, but coughed awkwardly twice and said quickly: "Well, Jiujiu, what Brother Dijiang said just now that he didn't want to be your teacher was nonsense."

"Nonsense?" Jiujiu stopped crying, frowned her pretty willow-shaped eyebrows, and asked, "Brother Dijiang, why are you talking nonsense when there is nothing wrong?"

"Jiujiu is going to be scared to death."

Jiujiu patted his chest in fear.

“…”

this……

Dijiang was good at reading, practicing calligraphy, and practicing martial arts, but he could not find excuses for his own behavior.

He scratched his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good reason.

Fortunately, Jiujiu doesn’t care.

Jiujiu said generously: "It's good that Brother Dijiang doesn't leave. Jiujiu likes Brother Dijiang."

"Do you like Brother Dijiang?"

Good Jiujiu, you can't say such things carelessly!

Dijiang's face became redder and redder.

Jiujiu didn't take it seriously, and neither did Aunt Gui. After all, Jiujiu kept saying that she liked someone every day.

When she woke up early, Jiujiu would say that she liked Nanny Gui. When she went to see Concubine Li, Jiujiu would say that she liked Concubine Li. When she went to see Emperor Zhaoning, Jiujiu would say that she liked Emperor Zhaoning...

The child was just expressing joy.

It can't be true.

But Dijiang taught it truly.

Because no one around him had ever told him that they liked him, only Jiujiu said so.

Di Jiang was upset and a little confused. He was afraid that others would notice that something was wrong, so he quickly packed up his things and found an excuse to leave.

He went to find a place to calm down.

·

In the following days, Jiujiu continued to study and practice calligraphy with Dijiang, and was worried about Qi Zhongshu forcing her to be his last disciple.

No matter how many times Jiujiu refused, Qi Zhongshu refused to give up.

Jiujiu was also speechless.

Qi Zhongshu is really persistent.

Until my 995th birthday.

Jiujiu's mood, which had been suppressed for so long, finally got a moment of relief.

Emperor Zhaoning held a grand birthday banquet for Jiujiu.

Jiujiu can receive birthday gifts again. She is so happy that she takes the initiative to get up early in the morning and ask the maid to wash and dress up.

Nanny Gui also told her: "Princess, I heard that the Crown Prince has brought back the body of the Second Prince, who had been missing for a long time and was thought to be dead."

"He came back on purpose, probably to help you celebrate your birthday."

"The Crown Princess also brought the birthday gift prepared for you early in the morning."

"Really?" Jiujiu was very happy that the prince had returned. She thought that the prince would prepare another gift for her, as he had done at her birthday party last year.

The prince was indeed prepared. After all, Jiujiu made a great contribution to the fact that he was able to find the second prince, kill him, and bring back his body.

If he hadn't heard Jiujiu's thoughts, he might not have been able to find the second prince.

"Really, really." said Aunt Gui.

"That's good."

Jiujiu is looking forward to meeting the prince.

"I heard that Sister Xiao is pregnant." Before, the eldest prince and the crown prince got married one after the other, but unexpectedly, the eldest prince's wife had a child first. Jiujiu was very happy: "Big brother finally has a child, that's great."

"Yes, the emperor is happy too." Nanny Gui said, "The emperor will definitely tell you about it at the princess' birthday banquet today."

"Jiujiu is also looking forward to it."

After Jiujiu had packed up, she was taken by Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Li to Delin Hall to attend the birthday banquet.

Everyone knelt, said blessings, and presented gifts...

The little birthday boy Jiujiu was treated like a star by everyone.

Jiujiu received a lot of gifts and was very happy.

Until a strange eunuch suddenly appeared.

The eunuch was Fu'an's adopted son, named Fulai.

Fu'an seemed to like Fulai very much, and whenever there was an opportunity to show off, he would quickly order Fulai around.

"Fulai, watch out for the pile of gifts in front of the princess. Don't let them fall down and hit the princess."

"The princess is very precious, she must not be hurt."

This is the job of protecting the emperor's favorite princess. Most people want it but can't get it. Fulai is very happy that he can get it. He hurriedly and attentively responded: "Godfather, please rest assured, your son will do it well."

Jiujiu, who was nestling in Emperor Zhaoning's arms and looking at the gift in front of her, was stunned.

【Fu Lai? 】

[Eunuch Fuan's godson? ]

[Oh my god, isn't this the eunuch in the book who teamed up with treacherous officials to mess up the internal affairs of Western Chu? Western Chu will eventually be destroyed, and he has made great contributions. ]

[Eunuch Fuan was killed by him, and many upright and loyal ministers in the court were also killed by him. He would do anything to gain power, which was really bad.]
