Chapter 309 If I don’t look at her, will I look at you?

How could he bear to do that?

"Father." Jiujiu hurried forward and threw herself into Emperor Zhaoning's arms. Like a child, she rubbed Emperor Zhaoning's chest coquettishly and said, "Jiujiu will miss you too."

Emperor Zhaoning gently touched the little girl's head and said, "Okay." It was not in vain that she missed him.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Go and see the gifts that father has prepared for you."

"Starting tomorrow, you will take these gifts and visit your grandmother, mother, mother consort, and brothers one by one."

Emperor Zhaoning really loved Jiujiu, and was worried that Jiujiu would only focus on the joy of traveling and forget to prepare gifts for visiting relatives, so he prepared them for Jiujiu. Moreover, each gift was carefully prepared according to the needs of the other party.

"good."

Jiujiu was like a happy rabbit, running and jumping away under the smiling gaze of Emperor Zhaoning and Fu'an.

Emperor Zhaoning withdrew his gaze only after Jiujiu was no longer visible. However, he sighed reluctantly, "I wish Jiujiu would not grow up. I wish she could always stay by my side."

This is the most selfish wish of a father for his beloved daughter.

Fuan couldn't help feeling sad after hearing this.

Emperor Zhaoning loves Jiujiu, and so does he.

Jiujiu was also the one he watched grow up. In his heart, she was no different from his own child. However, he knew that with his status, he was not worthy of treating the princess as his own child.

Just have him guarding silently by your side.

Fuan sighed regretfully, and to avoid being sad, he quickly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, don't you believe that Dijiang will not do anything to Xichu? After all, we have old friendship. Why did you send the princess to investigate?"

Fuan couldn't figure this out.

At this point, Emperor Zhaoning was silent for a long time, and then said, "Dijiang is a good boy. He will not become enemies with Western Chu in the short term because of the friendship we had in the past."

"But Dijiang is still young after all. He was taken advantage of and used as a tool. It is possible that he was forced to become an enemy of Western Chu."

"The current situation is very delicate. Any slight disturbance outside could lead to a war."

"If we want to ensure that nothing happens to Xichu, we must send someone to investigate."

"Otherwise, Xi Chu will definitely pay a heavy price."

After listening to this, Fu An nodded in admiration and said, "Your Majesty is indeed very thoughtful."

One thing that Emperor Zhaoning did not say is that between countries, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

He knew that Dijiang was a good person, but he could not guarantee that Dijiang would still be friendly to Xichu when faced with sufficient benefits and temptations.

.

After Jiujiu saw the gift that Emperor Zhaoning prepared for her, she had only one thought: it’s so good to have a father who considers everything for her.

The gifts prepared were all very satisfying.

But it’s too slow to bring gifts to see one person every day.

It would be better to hold a banquet in the name of my mother and invite everyone.

Firstly, it was to give her a farewell party, and secondly, her gifts could be delivered as quickly as possible, saving her the trouble of running from house to house.

Yes, that's it.

Jiujiu immediately wrote the invitation herself and asked Jinkui and Nanny Gui to send it out.

The next day, Imperial Garden.

Emperor Zhaoning, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Concubine Jia, imperial concubines from various palaces, as well as princes, concubines, and grandchildren all came to the banquet.

Jiujiu toasted everyone, gave everyone gifts, and then told everyone that she was going out for a trip.

Everyone said goodbye to her reluctantly and stuffed her with a lot of red envelopes, telling her not to use them on the road, telling her not to get hurt.

Emperor Zhaoning was watching from the side, his head buzzing.

He asked Jiujiu to bring gifts and visit the people who loved her one by one, just because he wanted to keep her for a few more days so that he could see her more.

Unexpectedly, the little girl managed to take care of the entire banquet.

well--

Girls can’t be kept at home when they grow up!

Emperor Zhaoning was depressed and kept drinking at the banquet. The Queen and Concubine Jia asked him what was wrong, and he said, "I raised a lamb, but it is disobedient."

When Jiujiu heard this, he hurriedly said, "If it doesn't obey, then I'll beat it up."

"If you spank it, it will definitely obey."

Emperor Zhaoning: “…”

He really wanted to tell Jiujiu that the lamb was her!

Silly girl.

How could he bear to hit her?

.

Xie Youxian has lived in the palace for three years. According to the agreement between him and his father, as long as he has lived in the palace for three years, he can leave the palace regardless of how his relationship with Jiujiu develops.

He felt that he had a difficult life in the past three years.

Jiujiu ignored him and deliberately distanced herself from him.

People around Jiujiu also kept their distance from him.

Therefore, he lived a lonely life every day.

In addition, he couldn't leave the palace and was trapped in the palace every day. Looking at those people and the four walls, he felt like he was going to molder.

Today, after three years, he felt that he had been released from prison, was free, and could finally go home.

He got up early, hummed a little tune, packed his bags, and prepared to leave the palace.

Unexpectedly, after he had packed everything, he was told that he could not go home for the time being and he had to accompany the princess to the southern country.

“Ahhhhh…”

How happy Xie Youxian was the moment before, how disappointed he was the next moment.

Why is this happening?

Why?

He couldn't go home, he had to accompany the little ancestor again. No, he was being tortured by the little ancestor.

Xie Youxian lay on the bed with a sad face. When the time came, he accompanied Jiujiu out of the palace and headed to the South.

Fortunately, Feng Yunyi was also with him, and he had a good relationship with Feng Yunyi. He could be happier on this journey.

But who would have thought that Feng Yunyi actually ignored him and just chatted and played with Nan Yuanxiang.

He talked to him, but he didn't care.

Brothers are like clothes!

Just throw it away.

"..." Xie Youxian was angry. He looked at Feng Yunyi who was riding a horse beside him and walking side by side with him, "Brother Yunyi, your eyeballs are about to fall out."

Feng Yunyi was looking at Nan Yuanxiang who was playing with the bracelet with Jiujiu in the carriage behind them.

But he couldn't see anything, and no one knew what he was looking at by craning his neck.

In response to Xie Youxian's words, he also perfunctorily said, "Shut up." After a pause, he continued, "If I'm not looking at her, am I looking at you?"

Xie Youxian said: "...It's not impossible."

After saying this, Xie Youxian suddenly realized that there was something wrong with this.

Feng Yunyi looks at Nan Yuanxiang, which means he likes her.

Look at what he said, then... then... then...

That was really toe-gripping and embarrassing.

"No, no, no! Forget it." Xie Youxian immediately changed the subject, still looking a little uncomfortable, "Just continue looking at your Nan Yuan Xiang."

After Xie Youxian finished speaking, he rode his horse and walked forward.

Feng Yunyi rode his horse, only paying attention to the back, not the front. The horse almost took him under the willow tree, and the willow branches were about to scratch his face, but he didn't see it...
