Chapter 42 You must come, my little sun
Dijiang really wanted to use his wooden ring to test for poison, but it was not easy to do it directly as he was worried about hurting Jiujiu's young heart.
He was just thinking of an excuse to test for poison when he saw Jiujiu, who was sitting opposite him, picked up the chopsticks and started eating without any hesitation.
Jiujiu was still mumbling: "I clearly had lunch, why do I want to eat again after seeing these foods?"
"Today's portion of gluttony."
Jiujiu sighed, and quickly tasted the five dishes and one soup that the girl brought, and murmured, "It's delicious."
When Dijiang saw Jiujiu eating so unscrupulously, all his doubts and vigilance disappeared.
He even blamed himself for judging others by his own standards.
Since the little princess was here, how could she possibly harm him? And how could she possibly help others to harm him?
Dijiang shook his head. Seeing Jiujiu eating with relish, he also started eating with an appetite. Seeing that Jiujiu liked shrimps, but could not peel a shrimp in half a day due to her small hands, he put down his chopsticks and took the initiative to help Jiujiu peel the shrimps.
Jiujiu likes to eat fish, and he helps Jiujiu pick out the bones.
Jiujiu was finally taken away by Dijiang and ate a lot of delicious food.
Jiujiu finally couldn't eat any more. She touched her round belly, let out a sigh, and said, "I'm so full and sleepy. Why do I feel sleepy when I'm full?"
Jiujiu yawned and said, "Jiujiu wants to go back to sleep."
Seeing this, Dijiang put down the chopsticks in his hand, as if he was reluctant to let the little sun that warmed his body and soul go down. He pinched his wrinkled collar and asked anxiously: "...Will you come to see me after you leave?"
Jiujiu nodded: "Of course."
[This is the hero! He is in dire straits and needs someone to give him warmth and love. How can I not come? ]
[Only by coming here can I warm his heart, slowly develop feelings with him, and show leniency to Xichu and Jiujiu's family when he holds the power of life and death one day.]
【Jiujiu will do his best.】
Jiujiu left after saying this and went back to sleep.
Although Dijiang's leg was injured, he still managed to personally escort Jiujiu out of the hostage house. He watched Jiujiu leave reluctantly, and thought to himself, "You must come, my little sun."
After Jiujiu's little figure completely disappeared from his sight, Dijiang also retreated.
Over the years, Dijiang's heart had been scarred and numb because of being neglected, abused, ignored and exploited. He had lost the expectations that a person should have for many things.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt expectant again.
He was looking forward to seeing the little princess again.
Chuyang, the servant who came with Hongzi, went to get food, but after several hours, he didn't bring back any decent food. He only got a few steamed buns made of black flour, which had already become cold and hard.
He started cursing as soon as he came back, cursing without any scruples in front of the guards in the hostage-taking hall.
"You won't even give me something to eat?"
"Such a big country like Western Chu is so stingy!"
The guard said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The princess just ordered people to send a lot of food, and also asked for permission for you to be a hostage. Don't be so ungrateful. Pick up the bowl to eat, and put it down to curse your mother."
"You..." Chu Yang wanted to argue.
Di Jiang appeared in time and said, "Chu Yang, come in."
Chu Yang followed Di Jiang into their shabby house.
Chu Yang is a few years older than Di Jiang and is already twelve this year. He saw that Hong Zi had injured his knee and could not walk steadily and had not eaten yet. He felt distressed and wanted to scold him.
Di Jiang stopped him and said, "What the guard said is right. The princess really sent food just now and asked for permission. Our lives will be better in the future."
"Yeah?"
"If you don't believe me, look at the table over there."
Chu Yang turned his head and saw a sumptuous meal on the table that had not been finished. The aroma of food lingered around his nose. He was too excited just now to notice it. He couldn't believe it: "The people of Xi Chu are so kind to send us food?"
Di Jiang murmured, "The adults in Xi Chu may not, but that little princess will. Remember, you can hate, scold, and blame anyone from now on, except that little princess."

When Jiujiu woke up and opened her eyes, she saw three huge faces in front of her.
Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then screamed.
"Ahhh, three faces this big, it's really scary."
The three big faces are the Crown Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince. All three were shocked by Jiujiu's phrase 'three big faces'.
They are all a bit emo~
[What are the three brothers doing? Are you trying to scare Jiujiu on purpose? Jiujiu's little heart is about to be frightened. ]
[Can't you just talk it out calmly? Why do you have to scare them? Jiujiu has never offended them! ]
The Crown Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince: "..."
They didn't mean to scare people, they just cared about Jiujiu.
Fortunately, Jiujiu didn't know that her three brothers cared about her, otherwise, she would have said helplessly: "Thank you for your care."
The prince coughed twice and said, "Jiujiu, it was wrong for the prince to scare you. The prince will punish himself by copying the scriptures. Go and copy them when you get back."
After a pause, he said, "The prince has an urgent matter and needs your help. You should follow him."
Jiujiu rubbed her messy hair and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Leave the palace."
"Leaving the palace?"
Ninety-nine surprises.
Since she came into the book, she has never left the palace, and she has always wanted to see the colorful world outside the palace.
I remember that at the last birthday party, my stepfather said that my mother could leave the palace to visit her mother's family, but I didn't know what my mother was preparing and there was no movement.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince would take her out of the palace first.
【Jiujiu is really blessed.】
【Whatever you want, you get.】
“Hahahahahaha…”
Jiujiu laughed so hard that she almost cried out loud.
"But, Brother Crown Prince, where are we going when we leave the palace?"
"Go to your sister Yu's house." The prince said, "Don't you want to touch your sister Yu's face? Brother Prince will definitely let you touch it this time."
The prince is ready to ask Yu Wanyin to be his princess consort. However, Yu Wanyin's father is a stubborn person. He doesn't want his daughter to marry a royal noble, nor does he want her to be trapped in the deep palace with four walls all her life. It's not easy to deal with!
It is no use asking for permission to marry.
If things go wrong, he might just disobey the order, making everyone embarrassed and unhappy.
To be on the safe side, propose marriage first.
The prince took Jiujiu to Yu's house in order to listen to Jiujiu's true feelings so that he could respond accordingly and successfully propose to Yu Wanyin.
After hearing what the prince said, Jiujiu blinked her eyes and asked, "Really? Really? Can Jiujiu really touch Sister Yu's face this time?"
The prince nodded: "Really."
Jiujiu touched his chin and questioned: "What if I can't touch it? What should I do?"
"If I can't find it..." the prince said solemnly, "Brother Prince will let you ride it like a big horse until you are satisfied."
