Zhu Jiulong took a few steps back very mindfully, and looked at her with a slightly cold gaze, "The fifth princess doesn't have to explain. I already know what you mean. ”

Xiao Wu felt chills all over his body under his gaze, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Jiulong didn't give her a chance to explain, and said coldly: "Lord Qinshan has not left Da Zhou, and is now resting and adjusting in the post house. I am afraid that I will not be able to entertain the five princesses, so I will send someone to pack your bags tomorrow. Early the morning after tomorrow, please return the fifth princess the same way and return to Donglin with Lord Qinshan! ”

Xiao Wu's heart was as cold as ice when he heard this, he opened his mouth in despair, and then heard Zhu Jiulong say indifferently: "If what the fifth princess said just now is what your father meant, then please also ask the fifth princess to bring my words to him-The Great Zhou Dynasty is strong, and the people of the whole country work together to drive out the enemy!" Maybe it's an eventful time for Da Zhou, but Da Zhou will never back down because of this. If the foreign court commits an offense, we will return it tenfold! ”

Now that all explanations were futile and pale, Xiao Wu found out miserably that she seemed to have made a big deal out of it.

Now, not to mention the father-in-law Desheng assigned to her by Qin Shan, I am afraid that Qin Shan himself is standing here, and the situation is powerless.

"Your Majesty......" she whispered softly, her mouth open.

Zhu Jiulong didn't hear it, and walked to the bright yellow table again to pick up the fold - he was also angry, and his hands trembled when he picked up the fold.

"Your Majesty......" Xiao Wu shouted again without giving up.

Zhu Jiulong didn't hear anything about her, and stared straight at a book.

He knew the words in it, but now that they were arranged together, he couldn't read them.

He flipped the fold to and fro in frater, his breath already a little disturbed.

It's so infuriating—in vain his first impression of her is so good!

It's just that it's good that she showed her true colors early, otherwise......

"Your Majesty......"

A weak voice sounded beside his legs, and Xiao Wu, who was crying like a cat, tilted his head, sat cross-legged on the ground, and tried to look at him with wide eyes.

"Brother Cheng'er...... She muttered out his nickname.

These four words shocked Zhu Jiulong's body, and he looked at Xiao Wu in disbelief, his eyes widened.

"Y-What do you call me?!" His voice was tinged with surprise.

"Brother Cheng'er......" Xiao Wu called out in a wailing voice.

Zhu Jiulong was stunned, and his unbelievable gaze looked at Xiao Wu's face, "How do you know this name!?" ”

"Brother Cheng'er, I'm Xiao Wu......" Xiao Wu looked at him with tears in his eyes, sad and authentic.

The memories of ten years ago poured into Zhu Jiulong's mind like a tide, and those memories that were cherished in the depths of his memory were still clear and complete, and when Xiao Wu's mouth called out "Brother Cheng'er", he felt that the blood all over his body was hot.

Ten years ago, he was still a child of seven or eight years old, when Emperor Rende was not dead, the whole country was not comfortable, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and the frontier was full of gunsmoke.

And the battle in the harem has never stopped, and it has never killed people invisibly.

Seven or eight-year-old Zhu Jiulong, cowardly and quiet, only knows how to hold a book and read it over and over again, when Emperor Rende looks at the prince, he doesn't know where to go, and Emperor Rende has never really paid attention to him.

The concubines and princes of the harem never regarded Zhu Jiulong as an opponent in the battle for the prince, and no one took him seriously.

Because his mother was killed when he was born, Zhu Jiulong was raised under Concubine De's knees when he was a child.

probably saw that Zhu Jiulong's temperament was not suitable for becoming an emperor, and while Concubine De was disappointed, she became more and more mean to Zhu Jiulong.

In terms of food and clothing, Zhu Jiulong has always picked up the rest of the princes and concubines to pick up the leftovers, and even when he eats, Concubine De is stingy with giving him a hot mouthful.

As a prince, even if he is not favored, he should live a life of fine clothes and food. But Zhu Jiulong is different, no one takes care of him in the palace, everyone forgets it, and before he is seven or eight years old, he doesn't even know what the prince tastes like when he eats the palace snacks that he is disgusted with.

With books as his companion every day, it seems that the only thing that can accompany him in heaven and earth is a big locust tree in the lonely palace.

One day, when Zhu Jiulong was reading a book on the locust tree, he saw from a distance that the princes and sisters who were laughing and playing had all run to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Emperor Rende came to the harem at some point and brought rewards to each of his children.

Zhu Jiulong also wanted to go, but at this time, he didn't fall from the tree.

Before he could call the eunuch, the man went into the lake again.

The water was cold and bitter, pouring into his eardrums and nose.

He thought he was going to be drowned, but there was a small hand in front of him.

A girl in a fine dress fished him out of the lake, and they asked each other for their names, and he learned that the girl's name was Xiao Wu.

"I'm a year older than you, so call me Brother Cheng'er." The immature Zhu Jiulong said.

When I think back to myself at that time, isn't it just a living chicken in the soup?

How can you have the courage to let the girl who saved you call herself Brother Cheng'er?

The girl was also well-behaved, and she didn't ask for a reward for saving people, but really called Brother Cheng'er according to what he said.

"Your father is giving gifts in the Huxin Pavilion, aren't you going?" Xiao Wu asked.

Zhu Jiulong looked down at his wet self, his inferiority complex was unstoppable, "If I go, my father will be angry and scold my ......"

is a prince who is not taken seriously, if he still appears in front of the emperor with a down-and-out appearance......

When I go back, I'm afraid Concubine De will beat and scold him.

"Do you know what a bitter meat trick is?" Xiao Wu asked him with a smile.

"Yes." Zhu Jiulong nodded, but he didn't know why.

Xiao Wu smiled, "My nurse told me that only children who can make trouble can eat candy." You are miserable in front of your father, and if you say the right thing, not only will you not be punished, but you will be rewarded. ”

"What do you say then?" Zhu Jiulong asked curiously.

Xiao Wu taught him in a milky voice: "You go to your father in a while, don't cry, and bow down when you see him." If he asks you, you will say that you have gone a few paces faster on the way you came, and you have planted yourself in the river. If he asks, why don't you go to clean, you will say that it is very difficult to see your father, lest your father go to the government again when his sons change and clean up. The father and the emperor worked hard, and the sons and ministers could not help much, so they could only visit the father from afar, and in a hurry, he showed his down-and-out appearance, and hoped that the father would not be surprised......"

"Is this okay?" Zhu Jiulong was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

"Okay!" Xiao Wu smiled, "My imperial sister is like this, she always uses her own bitter meat tricks, and my father also eats her set, my nurse said, this is a child who will make trouble and eat candy!" ”
