Chapter 346 Now Nine Nine Two Cups

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chu Yang stared at the person intently.

After Dijiang lowered the curtain, he looked at Jiujiu who was still lying on his legs. Jiujiu was also looking at him.

What does the little goblin think of him?

Why did he feel uncomfortable being stared at? He also felt a little restless, agitated, and hot...

Is it because the weather is too hot?

"Brother Dijiang, what's wrong with you?" Jiujiu felt that something was wrong with Dijiang, but she didn't know why. She raised her head and asked.

Dijiang took a deep breath, released his hands around Jiujiu's waist, and let Jiujiu stand up.

He took several sips of water to suppress his restlessness.

After drinking it, I felt better.

"It's okay." He replied casually, picked up a book from the low table next to him and started flipping through it.

However, he did not read a single word of what was written in the book.

In the past, when he saw densely packed words, his mind would be highly focused. But at this moment, all he could see and all that came to his mind were the girl's soft, white waist and her delicate figure.

The little girl today is no longer the little girl she was many years ago.

The little girl is now almost as big as an adult, and she is beginning to look like a fruit that is about to ripen, fragrant and sweet, tempting to be picked.

Dijiang is not a child anymore, so naturally he has some hidden impulses in his heart, but he has been trying hard to restrain himself, and he has done a good job.

At this moment, he exhaled several times and tried his best to suppress the impulse in his heart.

But I still feel a little agitated.

After finally returning to the palace, the two separated for a while and went about their own business. Only then did Di Jiang return to normal.

However, in three days, Jiujiu will return to Xichu.

She had finished all the tasks assigned to her by Emperor Zhaoning, and it was time for her to go back. As for Dijiang's intention to ally with Western Chu to go to war, Jiujiu had to go back in person to convey the message and establish a secret message route.

Jiujiu began to feel reluctant to leave as they had to go their separate ways again.

Jiujiu was feeling sad when she suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps approaching her quickly.

"Jiujiu." Nan Yuanxiang was so happy when she heard that Jiujiu had returned that she came to find Jiujiu immediately.

After seeing Jiujiu, she hugged Jiujiu and cried, "Jiujiu, you don't know how worried I was when I learned that you and His Majesty were assassinated and His Majesty was in trouble for saving you."

"Of course, she hasn't been eating well these days because she's been worried." Feng Yunyi felt a little distressed. Nan Yuanxiang had lost a lot of weight, and he was almost sore from trying to persuade Nan Yuanxiang to eat well these days.

Jiujiu also felt sorry for Nan Yuanxiang. She looked at Nan Yuanxiang and said, "We will leave in three days."

"Little cousin, you have to hurry up and eat well for three days to get the fat back on your face."

"Really?" After hearing this, Nan Yuanxiang no longer cared about being sentimental. She quickly said a few words to Jiujiu, then pulled Feng Yunyi to go outside the palace to find something to eat.

In three days, she must have eaten at every street and alley.

You can lose anything, but you can't lose your mouth.

Jiujiu stayed in the palace and tried on the clothes, shoes and jewelry that Dijiang sent her.

I don't know what happened to Dijiang these past two days. He suddenly sent her a lot of clothes and daily necessities, all of which were top-quality goods.

Jiujiu spent two days trying on the clothes.

Although he liked them all, Jiujiu only kept a few sets based on his own preferences.

She is about to leave the South, and it would be inconvenient to take too many things with her.

On the third day, Jiujiu wanted to see Dijiang and say her final goodbye to him.

But, I didn’t see it.

Di Jiang said that he was busy with state affairs and had no time to see her. He also said that when she left, Chu Yang would bring people to escort her to the border of Western Chu, so he would not escort her.

Jiujiu felt a little regretful. How could Brother Dijiang suddenly become so busy during their last time together? So busy that it was hard to even see each other? And he didn't even go to see her off?

Is it still because of those assassins?

"well……"

Jiujiu felt inexplicably lost. It was late at night and she couldn't sleep.

"Why not take a hot spring bath to relax?"

"By the way, have a little drink." Now her alcohol tolerance is better. She doesn't get drunk after one or two glasses. She can drink two glasses.

Jiujiu soaked in the hot spring and tasted some wine.

The palace servants serving outside the palace were whispering at this moment.

"Your Majesty seems to care a lot about this princess of Xi Chu, but now that the princess is leaving, he didn't even come to see her and say goodbye, but just sent her a bunch of cold gifts. Alas, how can those gifts compare to a personal farewell?"

"Perhaps in your Majesty's heart, the Princess of Xichu is important, but not as important as the government and the empire!"

"This is not surprising. Your Majesty is not an ordinary person. He will not take his children's love affairs too seriously."

.

On Dijiang's side, he was indeed busy with the assassin's business.

After investigating those assassins, he finally found Dong Buhan. But besides Dong Buhan, there was also a group of hidden forces that had some relationship with Dong Buhan, but he has not yet found out what those forces are.

Dijiang has been investigating this and is very busy, but not so busy that he doesn't even have time to meet Jiujiu.

He is restraining his emotions and desires.

Ever since Jiujiu had gone to great lengths to save him and even lost a lot of weight for him, the things that he had been suppressing in his heart began to surge like a raging tide and could no longer be suppressed. Whenever he saw Jiujiu, his heart would surge with violent waves.

Especially since the little girl was about to leave the South and return to Western Chu.

His emotion became even worse.

At this moment, after finishing the affairs of state, he took a cold shower and waited for his emotions to return to normal and he was no longer impulsive. Seeing that it was about time, he walked towards the side hall where Jiujiu lived.

The little girl should be asleep at this time, right?

He just took a look, just a secret look, and then left.

The palace maid who was on night watch was dozing off because she was so sleepy. But when she saw Dijiang coming over alone with wet hair, she suddenly stopped being sleepy and was even a little bit incredulous.

She muttered in her heart: "His Majesty is here?"

"The princess should be asleep by now, right? Did Your Majesty come here just to take a look at the sleeping princess?"

"In that case, we were wrong. Your Majesty must care about the princess very much, otherwise he wouldn't come to see her quietly in the middle of the night and do nothing else."

As the palace maids spoke, they hurried forward to greet the emperor, but Di Jiang made a gesture for them to be quiet.

The two palace maids dared not speak.

After Dijiang entered the side hall, he walked alone towards Jiujiu's bed in the hall. However, he did not see anyone on the bed.

Where are the people?

He subconsciously looked around and saw Jiujiu, who had just finished taking a bath in the hot spring pool, stood up, staggered, and prepared to put on her clothes.

Seeing this, Di Jiang turned around quickly and wanted to leave.

However, he heard Jiujiu suddenly scream "Ah", and Jiujiu seemed to fall down and fall into the water. The sound of splashing water was extremely loud and harsh.

——

ps: People in ancient times were different from modern people. In ancient times, girls could get married at 14 or 15. So, my dears, don't say that the male protagonist is thinking about underage girls. Jiujiu is three months away from turning 15. At 15, she will be of marriageable age and can get married.
