Chapter 549 Thoughts, Countless Times

He had countless dark thoughts in his mind, and had wanted to destroy everything around him countless times. He was like a maggot in a gutter, unable to see the light and surrounded by stinking water.

Fortunately, that ray of sunshine brought more light and beauty into his world and dispelled the gloom in his heart.

How could Jiujiu not know this?

The brother Dijiang in the book is a cruel person who does things by any means necessary and without regard for consequences. He is completely different from the wise and upright person he is today. They are two extremes.

"Brother Dijiang, Jiujiu understands." Jiujiu sighed: "Thanks to Brother Dijiang, Jiujiu can understand that life is so brilliant and dazzling."

[In her previous life, Jiujiu was a poor little girl who had no one to love and had never been anywhere. ]

【Not to mention reading, writing, understanding, and traveling all over the world. 】

[It is Brother Dijiang's ambition that has been motivating Jiujiu. ]

[Jiujiu didn't want to be too far behind Brother Dijiang, so she kept chasing him.]

Di Jiang was flattered when he heard Jiujiu's thoughts. He didn't expect that the little girl actually thought this way. She was so powerful just to not be much worse than him.

Little did he know that in Dijiang's heart, even if Jiujiu did nothing and knew nothing, as long as she stood there, he would like her so much, as if she were bathed in sunshine and felt warm all over.

And in the whole world, only Jiujiu can give him such a feeling.

Jiujiu added: "There are still some notes, let's continue reading."

"good."

The two of them continued to look for a long time. After reading all the small notes left in the brocade box, it was hot and the room was a bit stuffy, so the two of them went out for a walk to get some fresh air.

As they walked, they actually arrived at the gate of the cold palace.

Back then, Jiujiu and the Queen Mother lived here for a long time, and they went through hard times for a long time.

Di Jiang had naturally heard of it. Standing at the gate of the cold palace, Di Jiang said, "Jiujiu, shall we go in and take a look?"

"this……"

Jiujiu stood at the gate of the cold palace, feeling as if she was dreaming. She felt that everything she had now was fake and illusory. The torment and pain she had experienced in the past covered up all the beauty and happiness she had now.

Jiujiu was very repulsive about this.

"The people inside are skinny and crazy, and there are weeds everywhere, and dilapidated and leaky houses. What's there to see?"

"Don't watch it, go over there!"

Jiujiu said, pointing in another direction.

"But I heard that the cold palace has been renovated. Why don't we go in and take a look?" Di Jiang hoped that Jiujiu's bad memories of this place would improve and she would not be trapped.

"It's been renovated? How come I didn't know that?" Jiujiu became interested. "Then let's go in and take a look."

[I don’t know when it was repaired? ]

[How is the repair going? ]

【How different from usual. 】

Di Jiang pretended not to hear Jiujiu's thoughts, and continued with what Jiujiu had just said, "I heard that the emperor ordered the repair, but I'm not sure exactly when it was repaired."

The retired emperor probably felt sorry for Jiujiu and the Queen Mother when they suffered in the cold palace, so he silently made up for it in his own way.

“I see!”

Jiujiu quickened her pace and trotted into the cold palace, looking around at the place which was completely different from what she remembered.

The weeds that were everywhere were gone, the dilapidated houses were brand new, the bluestone slabs were washed clean, and the place where she and the empress dowager once lived was renovated the most magnificently, adding valuable landscapes such as rockery and green pines, and planted flowers, which had a rich fragrance and a unique flavor.

"This..." Jiujiu almost dropped her jaw in shock, "Is this still the cold palace in my memory? It's completely different!"

"Standing here, I can't remember all the bad things that I pretended not to care about."

Di Jiang said: "Are you happy now?"

"Yeah." Jiujiu nodded heavily.

"You won't be troubled by what happened back then anymore, right?" Di Jiang asked again.

"No more." Jiujiu shook his head.

The bad memories of the past were buried underground along with the renovated cold palace, with no possibility of revival.

Now all Jiujiu remembers are the memories of being loved.

.

Soon, Jiujiu will be getting married.

We had plenty of time to prepare for the wedding, so every detail was taken care of.

The people also knew about it and cheered for it.

On this day, the streets and alleys were extremely bustling. People were talking about Princess Yongle's marriage everywhere, and many people were crowding at the palace gate, wanting to catch a glimpse of the princess.

Dijiang was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. As soon as the sky in the east turned white, he got up and prepared to pick up the bride.

Jiujiu's brothers naturally would not let Dijiang take Jiujiu away easily. They got up early in the morning, thinking about how to make things difficult for Dijiang and force him to pass some obstacles. They also threatened that Dijiang must pass all the obstacles before he could marry the bride.

The palace was particularly lively because of this, especially the road from the palace gate to Jiujiu's bedroom, where Jiujiu's brothers and family members gathered.

They set a lot of difficult problems for Dijiang.

Basically every brother has a problem.

Jiujiu has also finished dressing up.

She was wearing the bright red wedding dress that the queen had embroidered for her, a phoenix crown, and had bright and delicate makeup. She was sitting in front of a bronze mirror.

Nan Yuanxiang was talking about the situation outside, and Pei Qingning was helping Jiujiu put on earrings.

I just forgot to wear my earrings.

Jiujiu's brows furrowed more and more as she listened to Nan Yuanxiang's words.

"What, each brother has a difficult problem?"

"What if Brother Dijiang can't answer?"

Jiujiu was worried to death.

His brothers are not easy to deal with, and she has so many brothers.

Brother Dijiang should be worried.

Nan Yuanxiang saw the worry on Jiujiu's face and urged her hastily, "Jiujiu, don't worry about the problems ahead. I believe that His Majesty the Southern Kingdom is very smart and will not be able to defeat him. What you should worry about is yourself."

"Here?" Jiujiu didn't quite understand what it meant.

The next moment, Jiujiu saw nine brides wearing red wedding gowns, phoenix crowns on their heads, and red veils covering their heads.

Moreover, the wedding dresses they wore were exactly the same as hers, although hers were of much better quality, but you could only tell if you looked closely. It was difficult to see from a distance.

As for the phoenix crown, if it is covered with a red veil, everyone will look the same.

Outsiders cannot identify people by the phoenix crown.

Is this to... let Brother Dijiang find the real bride from among the ten people?

Nan Yuanxiang came to Jiujiu holding the red veil and said, "Jiujiu, since you have guessed it, why don't you cover it?"

"Let His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom look for them later. Whoever he finds will be picked up. If he can't find them, then this marriage..."

"Let the fake bride marry him. Our Jiujiu will not marry."

"Not getting married?" Well, did they just make the decision on their own? Without discussing it with her? She, she, she...

For the first time, Jiujiu felt that she seemed a little redundant.

She is the bride!

It’s actually redundant?

It's incredible.

"Jiujiu, hurry up, put on your red veil and sit with them. His Majesty the Southern Kingdom is coming soon."

"If it's too late, it will be too late."
