Chapter 92: It is better to punish yourself by copying Buddhist scriptures

Jiujiu gnawed on a chicken leg and said mischievously, "...I don't know him!"

The guard was about to draw his sword and beat the man out, but Jiujiu quickly said with a smile: "It was just a joke, look how scared you are, I know you."

guard:"……"

Princess, you are so naughty. I am scared.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief and released his hand from the knife at his waist. "Since the princess knows him, I will leave."

Jiujiu hummed and turned to look at the Third Prince and Concubine An.

"Third brother, beautiful sister, now that you are here, why don't you sit down and eat together?"

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

As they were talking, Nan Yuanxiang just came back. She was not only scared to the point of peeing, but also shitting because of the Third Prince's cold face.

She squatted in the bathroom for a long time before coming back.

As she walked in, she muttered, "Finally relieved," and then she saw the third prince again.

This person is really haunting!

I'm going to die.

Nan Yuanxiang pointed at the Third Prince in disbelief and sobbed for a long time, then went to the toilet holding her belly.

The third prince was puzzled and a little embarrassed: "What happened?"

Jiujiu knew that her little cousin was frightened by the Third Prince again and wanted to go to the concubine's room.

But she won't say.

She just said, "That's my little cousin. She had a stomachache, so she went out."

[I will never tell my third brother that my cousin was scared to death by him.]

The Third Prince: “…”

Sister, I've heard it all.

The third prince's expression became more and more embarrassed.

Jiujiu nonchalantly asked the Third Prince and Noble Lady An to sit down, briefly introduced them to Dijiang, and then said, "Would you like to eat together?"

Lady An looked at the third prince.

The Third Prince hid his hands under the table and clasped them together in shame. After taking a breath, he solemnly said to Jiujiu: "Sister, thank you for saving me."

"I...I..." The Third Prince said, and suddenly stood up, "I misunderstood you before and scared you. I was wrong. I'm sorry."

The Third Prince turned to look at Lady An and said, "Mother, I am willing to fulfill my promise. From now on, I will sleep upside down, drink foot washing water, and not eat meals."

The third prince was a real man, and he had said those words to Concubine An at the beginning.

No matter how outrageous or unbelievable it was, he had to do it, as the price he paid for misunderstanding Jiujiu.

This is the price he should pay.

Jiujiu didn't understand why the Third Prince did this, so she asked, "Why?"

Concubine An conveyed to Jiujiu what the third prince had said before.

After listening to this, Jiujiu advised: "Third brother, you don't need to do this."

Lady An, however, did not feel sorry for her son at all. She said, "Princess, the third son misunderstood you and frightened you. This is what you have to do."

"But ignorance is not a crime, Jiujiu didn't take it too seriously."

Jiujiu spread his hands, looking indifferent.

"Princess, there is no need to say anything. I must punish myself." The third prince insisted.

Jiujiu said softly, "How about this? If Third Brother really wants to punish himself, he can just hand-copy thirty Buddhist scriptures and pray for Xi Chu?"

It can be considered as doing my part for Xi Chu.

This is more meaningful than torturing yourself.

Having said that, if the Third Prince still insists on his own opinion, he would be ungrateful and stubborn.

Fortunately, the third prince said, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister. I'll copy the Buddhist scriptures when I get back."

Moreover, he not only wanted to pray for the Western Chu Kingdom, but also for his sister.

Such a kind and wonderful sister deserves the best in the world.

He was willing to pray for her.

An Guiren also said: "Princess, you saved the third child. I am really grateful. I will also copy scriptures to pray for you when I go back."

This is the only thing she can do for Jiujiu now, as she has no grace and nothing.

If she has the chance in the future, she will repay Jiujiu's kindness.

Jiujiu did not refuse this time. She nodded and said, "Okay."

After a pause, he said, "Stop talking about this. Third brother, beautiful sister, let's eat together quickly. Otherwise, the food will get cold."

"this……"

The Third Prince and Noble Lady An kept wearing veils, and even when they sat at the dinner table, they showed no intention of taking them off.

Apparently, they had no intention of eating.

The mother and son looked at each other.

Lady An said, "Princess, we appreciate your kindness, but we won't eat and will leave first."

"Go back and copy the scriptures and pray for blessings."

The third prince said, "Sister, I will go to Qiu Shui Ju to formally pay a visit to Concubine Li another day." The princess saved him, and it is reasonable for him to go to Concubine Li to express his gratitude.

After talking, Noble An and the Third Prince left in a hurry. They left resolutely without looking back. It seemed that they were not giving anyone face, but in fact, the inferiority complex that had disfigured them was already deeply rooted in their bones.

They were afraid that if they took off the veils and ate with Jiujiu and the others, it would scare Jiujiu and Dijiang.

Jiujiu is their benefactor, how could they scare Jiujiu?

It’s better for you to be sensible and stay away from it.

Jiujiu didn't say much, she continued eating with Dijiang.

Di Jiang had been silent just now, but now that everyone had left, he finally spoke: "Jiujiu, was your third brother very ill before?"

Jiujiu nodded: "Yeah."

“…”

Judging from the third prince's current appearance, he seems to be better now. He must have been saved by Jiujiu.

As far as Di Jiang knows, the secret agents planted by the Southern Kingdom in the Western Chu Palace have been taking the opportunity to win over the Third Prince, who has been spurned since childhood and is now on the verge of death due to a serious illness.

It seems that it is impossible to win them over now.

Jiujiu was really full at this moment. She wiped her mouth and said to Dijiang, "Brother Dijiang, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Jiujiu can't come. You have to spend it well by yourself!"

Is it New Year's Eve already?

This is a festival of reunion.

But Dijiang has always been confused about this festival, probably because there is no one to reunite with him.

Now he has it, which is ninety-nine.

But it was obvious that Jiujiu had to accompany her father, mother, and brothers, and he was just a hostage and could not even get in line.

Di Jiang sighed with regret, hummed sullenly, and said, "Okay, I will live well."

"Then I'm leaving."

After Jiujiu said goodbye to Dijiang, she called Nan Yuanxiang and went back to Qiu Shuiju with Nan Yuanxiang.

Nan Yuanxiang came out of the toilet, hunched over, holding her stomach, and looked around like a thief. She asked cautiously, "Jiujiu, has your third brother left?"

Jiujiu looked at Nan Yuanxiang and almost laughed out loud, "Little cousin, are you so afraid of him?"

"What do you think?" Nan Yuanxiang said, "As soon as I saw him, I wanted to go to the bathroom."

"He's gone." Jiujiu laughed out loud.

"You're still laughing."

Nan Yuanxiang chased Jiujiu and started fighting, but failed to hit her.

The two of them played and joked and went back to Qiu Shui Ju together.

Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Li had been waiting for Jiujiu to come back.

The girl Jiujiu has been hanging out outside all day recently. She is unwilling to study, stay in Qiu Shui Ju, and even less willing to accompany her father and mother. Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Li have been feeling jealous of this for a long time.
