Chapter 177 How can he repay such a kindness?
Some people couldn't stand it anymore and tried to persuade them in a kind way.
"Hey, please keep your voices down. Be careful not to be overheard. They might accuse you of talking about your master behind his back and hold you accountable."
"What about the princess and the proton? That's their business. What does it have to do with us? Let's just do our own work!"
That was what they said, but as Jiujiu went to the study room to study alone, Dijiang seemed to be abandoned and left aside, with no one caring about him.
Everyone in the palace had a different attitude towards Dijiang.
Unlike before, for the sake of Jiujiu and Qiu Shuiju, no one dared to make things difficult for Di Jiang. Even if Di Jiang had any problems, there would be people who would take the initiative to take care of him.
The palace is such a realistic and powerful place.
Dijiang's situation began to become difficult.
At first, it was just the food that wasn’t that good.
Gradually, everything went wrong.
No one went to clean the pawnshop, and no one was willing to guard it.
The temperature had risen early in the spring, but Dijiang was still wearing winter clothes as he had no new clothes to change into.
Chuyang could only find last year's clothes, wash them and continue wearing them.
Unfortunately, Dijiang is at an age of growing up, and his clothes from last year can no longer fit him this year. The sleeves are too short and the shoulders are a bit tight.
"Your Highness, what should we do? How about I go find the princess? The princess will definitely help us?"
Dijiang shook his head, "No need."
Dijiang found the needle, thread and scissors, and prepared to alter his clothes to make them bigger.
But he didn't know how to sew, and he just wanted to alter a piece of clothing, but he poked holes all over his hands and didn't even fix the clothes.
Chu Yang looked distressed, "Your Highness, why don't you wear my clothes? You are a few years older than me, and I'm sure you can wear my clothes."
Chu Yang found his own clothes and gave them to Di Jiang to wear, but they were too big.
He is several years older than Dijiang. He is already fifteen years old, while Dijiang is only eleven and a half. He also developed earlier and is taller than Dijiang.
Dijiang couldn't wear any of his previous clothes.
Seeing this, Chu Yang lowered his head in self-blame: "It's all my fault. I don't know how to sew and can't alter clothes for His Highness. Tomorrow I will find a sister who knows how to learn."
"I have learned it. I will correct it for Your Highness."

Go to the study.
Jiujiu continued to go to school today carrying the small schoolbag that Concubine Jia had sewn for her.
There are a few books in the schoolbag for show.
After arriving, she looked around the study rooms in the upper study and found that Dijiang was not there. She asked in confusion, "Why didn't Brother Dijiang come again?"
"Didn't the emperor ask him to come to school with him?"
"I didn't see him when Jiujiu came to class on his first day, and he's still not seen now? What's going on?"
"Could it be that they weren't notified? Brother Dijiang doesn't know?"
Jiujiu's fair and tender little face was tightly wrinkled.
"Jinkui?" Jiujiu called out.
Jin Kui took a step forward and said, waiting for orders: "Princess, you go ahead."
"Why don't you go and find out what's going on?"
"Yes, Princess."
Soon, Jin Kui found out what was going on and came back.
It was the eunuch who conveyed the message to Dijiang, but he did not tell Dijiang to come to the study to study.
As a result, Dijiang didn't come to the study, and Jiujiu hadn't seen Dijiang for a long time.
Moreover, because of this incident, rumors spread everywhere in the palace that Jiujiu disliked Dijiang, did not need Dijiang's teachings, and that the two had a falling out.
After hearing this, Jiujiu stamped her feet in anger and looked at the fierce man, "How can this be? It's just a message, but it can't be delivered?"
"And there are still these messy rumors spreading?"
"Do you think this princess is a vegetarian?"
Jiujiu couldn't bear it any longer, so she went to the Zhiguan to find Dijiang immediately, explained the matter to Dijiang clearly, and offered to support Dijiang.
Jiujiu carried her small schoolbag and hurried to the quality control center.
The little girl was so angry that she kicked the stones on the ground as she walked, and the stones flew far away.
The palace maid of Qiu Shui Ju was taking Da Huang for a walk. Jiu Jiu saw it and cursed a few words for no reason.
The maid didn't know what she had done wrong and looked confused.
Da Huang was skeptical about his dog life: Why did the owner scold me? Did he think I ate too much? Woo woo woo… I will eat less next time.
When Jiujiu arrived at the Zhiguan, Dijiang and Chuyang were doing needlework. There were holes all over their hands, but they did not give up.
Instead of relying on others, it is better to rely on yourself.
No, they can all learn.
Jiujiu was shocked when he saw it.
[The future male protagonist who will look down upon the world is actually doing needlework by himself? 】
[His hands are for ruling the country, not for sewing.]
Jiujiu angrily stepped forward, snatched the things from Dijiang's hand, and said, "Brother Dijiang, these jobs are not for you to do. Where are the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"Also, why are you still wearing your winter coat?"
"Jin Kui, go ask the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Jin Kui left after receiving the order. When she came back, she told Jiujiu the reason.
The people in the Imperial Household Department looked down on Dijiang and did not make any single clothes for him, so Dijiang had to alter his own clothes.
After listening to this, Jiujiu held the person who passed the message accountable, and also held several people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs accountable. He had them all beaten with sticks until their buttocks were bruised.
Let’s see if they dare not do their job properly in the future?
Di Jiang looked at the little girl supporting him with a faint, doting smile on his lips.
The little girl was really nice to him.
How could he repay such a kindness?
"Brother Dijiang, the emperor asked you to go to the study with Jiujiu to study. The messenger did not tell you before, Jiujiu told you personally."
"Would you like to?"
Go to the study room to read?
Dijiang was shocked.
Only princes, princes, and sons of noble families can enter a place like the upper study.
Can he too?
Is the Emperor of Western Chu so good to him?
Don't mind that he's a prince of the Southern Kingdom? Don't worry that he might have evil intentions?
Dijiang was in a complicated mood.
Chu Yang said excitedly: "I was just worried that no one would teach Your Highness to continue studying. I didn't expect that you can go to the study room to study now."
"Very good."
"Princess, thanks to you again. Thank you."
Chuyang thanked Jiujiu from the bottom of his heart.
Without Jiujiu, they would not have the life in Xichu where they had enough food to eat, were not bullied, and could study.
Jiujiu said, "You're welcome, Brother Dijiang. After the Ministry of Internal Affairs sends you new clothes tomorrow, you must come to the study to study, okay?"
Di Jiang nodded, feeling emotional in his heart that in Western Chu, not only Jiujiu was kind to him, but the Emperor of Western Chu was also kind to him.
One day, he would definitely repay her.
·
The next day.
Jiujiu and Dijiang both went to the study room for class.
However, Jiujiu was in a class with students of similar age to her, while Dijiang was in a class with students of similar age to him.
The two are not together, but they can see each other often.
On the first day of school, Dijiang was embarrassed by his teacher and classmates.
"The Southern Kingdom's hostage, Emperor Jiang?"
Dijiang responded: "Yes, sir."
Mr. Wei, who was sitting in the first seat, asked in confusion: "How can you teach the princess to read? Tell me, what can you do?"
Mr. Wei really couldn't understand how a little boy like Dijiang could teach the princess to read?
Qi Zhongshu wanted to teach the princess, but he couldn't win the fight.
Could he have used the back door?
A student sarcastically said, "What can he know? He has never read a book, so he definitely doesn't know anything. He is just an idiot."
