Chapter 553 Jiang Yue Extra (1)
The fact that the retired emperor was hidden in a box and carried to the Southern Kingdom shocked Jiujiu and Dijiang as well.
Di Jiang looked at the person sleeping soundly in the box in front of him, completely unaware of what was happening around him. The emperor, who was extremely nervous, put his fist to his lips, coughed twice, and turned to look at Chu Yang behind him.
He closed his eyes and asked for confirmation: "Chuyang, tell me, all this is true. Right?"
"Am I not seeing things?"
Di Jiang couldn't believe that the former ruler of a country could actually do such a thing?
Didn't he ever think that the journey to the South is thousands of miles long, and there might be some accidents on the way?
Also, what to eat and drink on the road? How can it be convenient?
These are all problems, and I don’t know how the emperor solved them.
Chu Yang was also curious about these questions, but he was only curious in his heart and did not say it on his face. He just said: "Your Majesty, I am sure that you are not mistaken."
“You’re not seeing things!”
"Then quickly, wake up the retired emperor and arrange a bedroom for him. He can't sleep here. If Jiujiu sees it, she will probably be worried." At this time, Di Jiang was also worried about Jiujiu.
Chu Yang understood what Di Jiang meant. He asked someone to wake up the retired emperor and at the same time, he asked someone to clean up the bedroom, requesting that it be closer to the princess, no no no, closer to the empress, so that it would be easier for them to meet each other.
After all, didn’t the emperor come all the way here just for the queen?
The Queen is so nice, she is loved by her parents.
Unlike him...
Why.
Chu Yang sighed with regret.
The emperor was sleeping soundly when he was carefully awakened. He rubbed his eyes unhappily and said subconsciously: "Fu'an, what time is it now?"
"Father-in-law, it's already noon." Di Jiang nodded.
"Father-in-law?" The emperor opened his eyes because of the call.
After seeing Dijiang, the emperor was not at all embarrassed about being discovered. Instead, he seemed relieved, with a slight smile on his lips.
His son-in-law found him, and he finally didn't have to sleep curled up here anymore. His ribs were bent because of him these days, and it was inconvenient for him to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. He was sneaking around like a thief all day long.
The emperor stretched out his hand to Dijiang and said, "Jiang'er, come and give me a hand."
'Jiang'er'?
Dijiang's eyes lit up at this title. In the past, the emperor always called him Dijiang and had some subtle hostility towards him, as if he was blaming him for taking Jiujiu away.
But now, the emperor actually called him Jiang'er. Does this prove that the emperor accepted him as his son-in-law from the bottom of his heart? Has his previous hostility towards him also disappeared?
Di Jiang was very excited. He sighed, hurried forward, respectfully held the emperor's hand, and helped him out of the box.
Next, Dijiang should have let go.
But Dijiang did not relax.
Di Jiang continued to support the retired emperor and walked towards the bedroom arranged by Chu Yang.
After walking a few steps, they ran into Jiujiu.
Today Jiujiu has her hair all combed up. She wears a red and white wide-sleeved, waist-cinched spinning skirt and a phoenix crown on her head, which represents her status as a queen. She looks less girlish and more graceful and elegant.
Jiujiu was surprised and questioned the emperor, "Father, why are you here?"
The emperor was not embarrassed to be discovered by Dijiang, but he was a little embarrassed to be discovered by Jiujiu. He smiled awkwardly for a long time, then hesitantly said, "I, I..."
Got it.
The emperor suddenly had an idea and said, "My mother was very sorry that she didn't marry Jiujiu because of her illness, so she asked me to come and tell her."
Jiujiu: “…”
[Dr. Qing had specifically informed the Empress Dowager before the wedding that she was old and in poor health, and that it was difficult for her to move around. She needed to rest and it would be inconvenient for her to be sent to the wedding.]
【It is well known to everyone.】
【Father, do you think I don’t know? 】
Jiujiu was not convinced by this reason and she continued to look at the emperor with questioning eyes.
The Emperor continued, "My mother also asked me to help her witness Jiujiu's wedding."
[This reason is barely convincing. ]
[But I am sure that the Imperial Grandmother did not say these words. It does not seem that the Imperial Father is here just to witness the wedding.]
[I remember that my father told Jiujiu that he would marry with Jiujiu. I was afraid... I thought it was a joke at the time, but I didn't expect...]
[Forget it, forget it, don’t worry about it. ]
Jiujiu stepped forward and supported the other arm of the Emperor. "Father, Jiujiu asked you these questions because I was worried about you. How could you come with me without saying anything? What would you do if something happened?"
"Good Jiujiu, nothing will happen." The emperor said while stroking Jiujiu's head.
Jiujiu let out a breath and ordered someone to write a letter to Xi Chu immediately, letting everyone rest assured that her father was fine.
The emperor stroked his rumbling stomach and said, "Jiujiu, don't worry. I left a letter when I came out. Although the place I left it is secret, they will find it sooner or later."
Jiujiu felt relieved after hearing this.
Di Jiang hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, I have asked someone to prepare lunch. Let's go and have it together. Jiang'er's grandfather has also entered the palace. Let's have lunch together as a family."
“…Dugu Tianxin?”
Before Dijiang recognized his grandfather, Dugu Tianxin was unfriendly to Dijiang and Xichu. He competed with Xichu everywhere. The emperor and Dugu Tianxin fought to the death back then. Even though the two countries have become friendly now because of Jiujiu and Dijiang, the past conflicts cannot be completely forgotten.
Everyone has shadows in their hearts.
The emperor always remembered the unpleasantness of that year.
Unexpectedly, we have become a family now.
The retired emperor had mixed feelings. During meals, he kept looking at Dugu Tianxin with meaningful eyes, and Dugu Tianxin did the same.
The atmosphere between the two was very subtle.
Jiujiu and Dijiang were watching from the side, wanting to persuade them but they didn't know where to start. So they just let them do what they wanted, believing that time could resolve all conflicts.
After lunch, Dugu Tianxin returned home, and the atmosphere finally returned to normal.
As soon as the emperor saw the person leave, he started mumbling.
"I still remember how he targeted Xi Chu back then."
"Even though he's friendly now, I still can't completely forgive him."
The emperor was furious.
.
Dugu Tianxin was also very angry here.
Dugu Tianxin sat in the sedan chair leaving the palace, clenching his fists and talking to himself, "If it weren't for Jiang'er, how could the Southern Kingdom and Western Chu turn hostility into friendship? And even form a marriage alliance? Haha, it's absolutely impossible."
"It's impossible even if I, Dugu Tianxin, die."
"It's even more impossible to become in-laws with that damn old man."
Old Fisherman outside heard what the master said and suddenly laughed. The master was not a nagging person, and he would never talk behind people's backs. Today, he was very abnormal.
