Chapter 308: What is Dijiang’s purpose in doing this?

Jiujiu had no idea what the prince was thinking. At this moment, Jiujiu was dragged to the imperial study by the prince's men.

The prince asked her and Emperor Zhaoning to practice calligraphy, and not to think about watching the envoys from Mobei running in circles.

Jiujiu refused and she pestered Emperor Zhaoning to take her to watch the fun.

She also said to Emperor Zhaoning: "Father, there was something exciting to watch over at the parade ground, but the Crown Prince went to watch it by himself and didn't let Jiujiu watch it."

When Emperor Zhaoning heard this, he became angry. He slammed the table hard and said angrily, "How can the prince, as your elder brother, do this?"

"Where in the world can you find a brother like him? He went to watch the fun himself, not letting his sister watch, and even sent his sister away? That's too much."

"Father will make the decision for you."

But the next moment, Fu An talked with the guard who sent Jiujiu here, and found out the reason, and conveyed it to Emperor Zhaoning. After listening, Emperor Zhaoning immediately stood for the prince.

Emperor Zhaoning also said to Jiujiu: "Jiujiu, your brother the crown prince did nothing wrong. It is only right for him to send you back."

How could a little girl watch a naked man running around?

Jiujiu whimpered, "Father, that's not what you just said!"

"Did I just say anything?" Emperor Zhaoning waved his hand pretending to be dead, "I didn't say anything just now, Jiujiu, you must have heard it wrong."

"Come here quickly, and practice calligraphy with Father?"

"Let Father see if your handwriting has improved recently."

Jiujiu: “…”

And just like that, Jiujiu didn't get to watch the fun.

But Jiujiu heard that the parade ground was so lively that day that no one had the mind to do the work at hand. They all watched the two Mobei envoys running around naked.

The two Mobei envoys were completely disgraced.

After this matter got out, Mobei's face was somewhat lost.

Everyone was laughing at Mobei. They said that Mobei was a bad-mannered envoy who represented the face of the country and actually made such a bet and lost it.

Mobei was laughed at by other countries for a long time.

Mobei also gave up the idea of ​​attacking Xichu because of Jiujiu's successful control of the wolf pack.

But they were unwilling to give in. They were unwilling to recuperate for many years and still did not dare to do anything to Xi Chu.

They began to send envoys and frequently visited the Southern Kingdom. They wanted to join forces with the Southern Kingdom to attack Western Chu together to increase their chances of winning.

There are also rumors that Wu Zhaoli, the saint of Mobei, wants to marry Di Jiang, the king of the Southern Kingdom, because of this matter.

These two pieces of news gave Xichu a headache.

Emperor Zhaoning started to play games with these people again.

For three consecutive years, Emperor Zhaoning did not dare to relax for a moment.

But the situation escalated, and the news of Wu Zhaoli marrying into the Southern Kingdom spread more and more wildly.

Recently, there were rumors that Wu Zhaoli had personally gone to the Southern Kingdom, and it was estimated that the matter of marriage would be put on the agenda soon.

After hearing the rumor, Emperor Zhaoning took out the letter that Dijiang had sent not long ago.

He had already read this national letter, but it made him feel upset.

He thought that the letter sent by Dijiang was to discuss matters of mutual benefit between the two countries, but he didn't expect that it was a letter asking for Jiujiu's hand in marriage.

Although three years have passed and Jiujiu is fourteen years old, he is in a hurry to ask for marriage before she even reaches the age of marriage. How eager is he to kidnap his little girl?

What's more, the things between him and Wu Zhaoli were spreading like wildfire everywhere.

How sincere is he when he proposes to Jiujiu?

Emperor Zhaoning felt upset when he thought of this, so he put the letter aside after reading it. But now, because of the rumors flying around outside, he took out the letter and started reading it.

After reading it, he made a decision.

That is to test Dijiang.

Because he couldn't figure out who Dijiang was going to marry? How many women? How to marry? Was this letter only given to Western Chu? Or was it also given to Mobei? What was his purpose in doing this?

We need to test it out and verify it.

Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we make the decision that is most beneficial to Xi Chu.

How to test it?

Send Jiujiu to the South as well.

Those rumors from the outside world are half true and half false, and it is difficult to tell the truth. It would be better to send someone to take a look in person.

Jiujiu and Dijiang have a good relationship, so she is the most suitable person to go and can best find out the truth.

This is also a chance for the little girl to travel.

The people of Western Chu have always had the custom of traveling when they are in their teens.

It’s time for Jiujiu to go too.

Emperor Zhaoning called Jiujiu and told her about this matter. Jiujiu was very happy after listening to it.

I can finally go to the South and finally meet Brother Dijiang. It’s so great.

"Father, Jiujiu should get ready. We will set off tomorrow." Jiujiu is already fourteen years old, but still very impulsive and does not behave like an adult at all.

But Emperor Zhaoning didn't mind. He looked at the little girl, smiled dotingly, and said, "Don't worry, listen to your father."

"Father hopes that Xie Youxian can accompany you to protect you." This time, Emperor Zhaoning not only wanted to understand Di Jiang's intentions, but also wanted to test Xie Youxian's intentions.

Although Xie Youxian had been in the palace for many years and had always been with Jiujiu, he was not liked by Jiujiu. He just accompanied Jiujiu silently, without fighting or competing, and it was hard to tell how sincere he was to Jiujiu.

Let them go out and gain some experience together.

It takes some ups and downs to build deep feelings and see whether a person's heart is worth giving to.

"Also, that girl Nan Yuanxiang and that boy Feng Yunyi are also going."

"You two can travel together and support each other on the way. I will feel relieved if you do so."

"In addition, I will assign you some more secret guards to accompany you and protect you to ensure your safety."

Jiujiu: “…”

Could she refuse?

She is very amazing now.

I won’t talk about my little cousin and the others, but there is really no need for Xie Youxian, a stubborn guy, to accompany them.

Xie Youxian is a person who is sometimes so serious that it is scary.

"You are not allowed to refuse!" Emperor Zhaoning saw what Jiujiu was thinking, and he said, "If you refuse, you are not allowed to go."

Jiujiu: “…”

"Also, don't abandon Xie Youxian on the road." Emperor Zhaoning warned, "The guards sent by my father will report back to you every seven days."

"Father will know your whereabouts."

Jiujiu was silent for a while, then said, "Okay then! I'll listen to my father."

Jiujiu also tried her best to go to the South.

"Let's wait ten days before setting off again."

"Your mother, your mother's concubine, and your brothers all care about you very much. Before you leave, go see them and say goodbye to them. Don't just run away without saying a word."

Emperor Zhaoning reminded Jiujiu.

Fu An looked at Emperor Zhaoning distressedly and said, "Your Majesty, you are also reluctant to part with the princess? Why don't you say it?"

Before the ninety-nine people had left, tears were already welling up in Emperor Zhaoning's eyes. He really couldn't bear to leave the little girl and had never been separated from her for too long.

This time, we have to be separated for at least a year.

When Jiujiu comes back, the little girl will be of age.
