Princess's arrogant little head

"Has it been a long time since you were beaten?"

Just as An Jiu raised his fist, Tang Ruochu came out with the food and said, "You can eat."

Only then did An Jiu put his hand away, and sat down quietly with Yu Zimo.

It has to be said that Tang Ruochu is a skilled person, the dishes he makes look good, smell delicious, and taste even more delicious.

Tang Ruochu poked the rice bowl with his chopsticks, but secretly glanced at An Jiu from time to time, and asked, "Do these simple meals suit Xiao Jiu's mind?"

An Jiu's eyes stopped, and he said in a low voice: "Generally, it is indeed a bit inferior to the delicacies I usually eat."

"Not so bad?" Yu Zimo looked at An Jiu suspiciously while eating, and said, "Master, you will almost finish the food on this big table by yourself."

With food still in his mouth, An Jiu turned his head and glared at Yu Zimo: "You're the only one who talks nonsense!"

Yuzimo said: "Anyway, I have never eaten such delicious food in my life."

Jiang Baihua also raised her head, and said with glib mouth, "Xiao Huahua likes to eat too!"

"Master, that, since you don't like it, then give me this plate of rabbit meat!" Yu Zimo stared straight at the plate of rabbit meat in front of An Jiu, and stretched out his restless little hand.

An Jiu hit his hand with his chopsticks, and hurriedly protected the food with one hand, while staring at Yu Zimo, he said, "Scroll!"

This is Tang Ruochu's first time making food for her. It would be nice if he could share it with Yu Zimo, but he still wants to grab it?

Tang Ruochu lowered his head and smiled, but his heart was extremely sad.

It's true to think about it, An Jiu is a high-ranking princess. She has rich clothes and rich food since she was a child, and has countless treasures. An Jiu is so good, but she is just a little girl in the world, lonely and useless.

It is already a miracle that two people who are so different from each other can meet, what else is she expecting?

After finishing the meal, An Jiu was still asleep the next morning, but suddenly heard Yu Zimo yelling.

An Jiu got up impatiently and pushed the door open, "Are you going to sleep early in the morning?"

"Sect Leader, come and take a look!" Yu Zimo was still shouting.

An Jiu opened her sleepy eyes, but was also taken aback.

But for one night, there were corpses outside the house. Last night, two groups of people had experienced a fierce battle here, but she slept so soundly and didn't know anything.

"Ruochu~"

An Jiu hurriedly ran to Tang Ruochu's room, but there was no one in the room, An Jiu searched everywhere and asked, "Where is Ruochu?"

Yu Zimo said: "I don't know, last night I heard the movement, so I went out to chase a man in black. I thought that there was Miss Jiang and the head's wife here after all, and the head would be fine, but when I came back, I saw Bodies all over the floor, both of them are gone."

After hearing this, An Jiu quickly walked to the corpse, observed the wounds on the corpse, and said: "They are all knife wounds, and the wounds are different, which means that the murderer is not one person but a group of people. These people look like Jianghu people. I am already notorious." , There are too many Jianghu people who want to kill me to become famous, but who is secretly protecting me?"

"it's me!"

At this moment, the four of them came slowly carrying the sedan chair, and standing beside them were Tang Ruochu and Jiang Baihua.

An Jiu didn't care about the people in the sedan chair, but hurried to Tang Ruochu's side, checked her body, and asked anxiously, "Are you injured? Where did you go? I thought something happened to you."

Tang Ruochu just shook his head.

At this time, the sedan chair stopped, and a handsome young man came out from inside, wearing a brocade coat and jade belt, black saddle shoes, his face was even more familiar.

"Brother-in-law?" An Jiu frowned suspiciously.

This person is Zhang Yuan, the champion of the new discipline the year before last. After entering the court and becoming an official, he was highly valued by the emperor, and even betrothed the eldest princess to him.

"Ah?" Yuzimo stared at Zhang Yuan in surprise, and then looked at her in surprise after hearing An Jiu's words, "Brother-in-law?"

Yu Zimo looked terrified, An Jiu looked at him like this, as if he was going to kneel directly to Zhang Yuan.

An Jiu asked suspiciously, "Yuzimo, what are you doing? Why are you so surprised?"

Yu Zimo pointed at Zhang Yuan and said, "He, he is the head brother-in-law? He, he is Zhang Sheng, the seventh-ranked martial arts scholar who has disappeared for a long time!"

After hearing this, An Jiu was also surprised.

The eldest concubine Zhang Yuan is Zhang Sheng, the seventh-ranked scholar in martial arts?

An Jiu quickly approached Zhang Yuan and asked in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, what's going on? Why didn't I know you had such a powerful past? Does my elder sister know?"

Zhang Yuan laughed softly: "Princess Nine, this matter is a long story, I will explain it to you later."

Then Zhang Sheng said: "Thank you for taking care of my Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu has been away from home for a long time. My sister was very worried, so she asked me to come out to find her. I didn't expect Xiaojiu to offend so many people, so there was an accident last night. It was a fierce battle that surprised everyone."

After hearing this, Yu Zimo suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "No wonder I always feel that there is someone behind you, the sect leader. It turns out that the hidden master Zhang Sheng is your brother-in-law!"

An Jiu stared at Yu Zimo and asked, "So you have been suspicious of me and my identity?"

Yu Zimo smiled awkwardly, and said hastily: "Don't dare, the famous Zhang Sheng is your brother-in-law, just based on this relationship, who in the world disrespects you three points?"

Yuzimo cleared up his doubts in his heart. It turned out that An Jiu was born in a family in the world, no wonder he was so confident.

Zhang Sheng just smiled, then turned around and bowed to Tang Ruochu.

Tang Ruochu looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "I've seen you before, and you came to see Master."

It was also because Zhang Sheng came to look for the master that time that the master became like that, and finally had to retreat to practice and let her take charge of Zixiao Palace.

Zhang Sheng only smiled and said, "Girl has a good memory, I remember that you were a little older like Xiao Jiu at that time."

"Master Zhang, may I ask what you told Master back then, and why my Master later..." Tang Ruochu seemed hesitant to speak, as if he had a secret that he couldn't tell.

An Jiu looked at Zhang Yuan and Tang Ruochu suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "Brother-in-law, do you still have some grievances with Zixiao Palace?"

Zhang Yuan only said: "It all happened when I was young and vigorous. At that time, I admired the beauty of Dugu Wuyi, the head of Zixiao Palace, so I came to ask for marriage several times, but unfortunately I was rejected. Later, I was going to marry a wife. I wanted to make a break with Miss Tang's master, that's all."

An Jiu smiled secretly and leaned into Zhang Yuan's ear, and whispered, "Brother-in-law, does my imperial sister know about your affair?"

Zhang Yuan quickly softly said to An Jiufu: "Ninth Princess, please don't tell your imperial sister, don't you know your imperial sister's temper? If you know about this, why don't you skin me?"

"Understood!" An Jiu gave Zhang Yuan a "reassuring" look.

Zhang Yuan also gave An Jiu a "thank you" look.

Yu Zimo on the side said: "As expected of a family, the head and senior can talk with their eyes."

Zhang Yuan only smiled and said: "Everyone, I have family matters to discuss with Xiaojiu alone, please sit in the room for a while and wait, thank you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuan and An Jiu went to the forest to talk.

An Jiu looked at Zhang Yuan with clasped hands, and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, so my eldest brother-in-law is so powerful, let me tell Xiao Jiu how you were so shocking back then, and your relationship with Zixiao Palace, And how did you change your name to Zhang Yuan?"

Zhang Yuan stood in the bamboo grove with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "It's all the past. Since I became an official in the court, the name Jianghu and Zhang Sheng have nothing to do with me. The prince heard that the nine princesses slipped to the rivers and lakes to play. Knowing that the world is dangerous, let me protect you."

Zhang Yuan talked about the emperor's uncle, but An Jiu had forgotten that Zhang Yuan was a member of the emperor's uncle's faction in the court. They thought that the prince had no virtue to inherit the throne, so they wanted to support the emperor's uncle as emperor.

Although these were just rumors, An Jiu was not a fool, so she naturally knew about these things.

It's no wonder that Zhang Yuanhui has something to do with Zixiao Palace, after all, the power behind Zixiao Palace is the emperor's uncle.

An Jiu said: "Xiao Jiu thanked Uncle Huang for his concern, but Xiao Jiu has grown up and is able to protect herself. This visit to Jianghu is also an experience, so I won't bother my brother-in-law."

Although An Jiu is a centrist, she likes both the prince's brother and the emperor's uncle, but she still believes that the heir to the throne should be the prince's brother, and anyone who comes out to usurp the throne is treason.

Because of this, An Jiu would keep a distance from the emperor's uncle's people in the government, including the eldest brother-in-law Zhang Yuan.

"The ninth princess should know that the power behind Zixiao Palace is the prince. In fact, Miss Tang is also the prince's person. If the nine princess asks the prince for someone, the prince will definitely satisfy the nine princess."

Zhang Yuan's eyes are clear, but his mind is deep. His words and deeds represent the faction of the emperor's uncle.

This is a bribe, Hong Guoguo's bribe!

"No need." An Jiu said with deep eyes: "Ruochu is a good girl with a simple mind. She has a chivalrous heart. Her jianghu should be pure. I don't want her to know that the jianghu she guards will mess with the court. relationship."

Judging from her contact with Tang Ruochu, An Jiu concluded that Tang Ruochu didn't know about the relationship between Zixiao Palace and the emperor's uncle, otherwise she wouldn't hate the court so much.

Given the current tense relationship between the court and the Jianghu, everyone in the Jianghu loathes the court and regards the people in the court as lackeys. An Jiu doesn't want Tang Ruochu to know that Zixiao Palace, which he guards, is colluding with the emperor's uncle.

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment before he said: "It seems that the ninth princess protects both Miss Tang and His Highness the Crown Prince. No matter what, the prince and I both have the heart to protect the princess. In the future, the ninth princess can just go with peace of mind, no matter how dangerous the world is. , someone will protect you."

An Jiu frowned tightly, not knowing what to do.

After all, even if she protects the prince's brother again, she doesn't want to hurt the emperor's heart.

After Zhang Yuan talked to An Jiu for a few words, he was about to go back. Yu Zimo asked Zhang Yuan to sign his name and asked for his sword. I met the male god of the rivers and lakes, the legendary idol.

An Jiu just raised his forehead secretly: No prospect!

When Zhang Yuan got into the sedan chair and was about to leave, Tang Ruochu suddenly appeared to meet him, deliberately avoiding the crowd.

"Go back!" Zhang Yuan's eyes became sharper, "You shouldn't let people see my identity!"

After Tang Ruochu knelt down and saluted, he bit his lips and said, "I would like to ask the envoy to teach you about Master!"

Tang Ruochu didn't know that this person's real identity would be Zhang Sheng, she only knew that this person had been to Zixiao Palace and ordered the Zixiao Palace to go up and down, even the master obeyed him, but he never showed up.

Even she saw his face only once when she went to the master's room. At that time, he was much more indifferent than now, and even wanted to kill her to silence her. It was the master who begged to save her.

About this person, the master never revealed to her, but only told her that this person is the messenger and the master of all of them. No matter what happens in the future, she will be loyal to the messenger just as she is to the master.

She knew nothing else.

Zhang Yuan said coldly: "Tang Ruochu, have you forgotten that you swore not to reveal my identity when your master interceded for you?"

"Ruochu dare not forget." Tang Ruochu asked: "Ruochu just had doubts in his heart, why did Master..."

"All martial arts lost!"

Zhang Yuan finished speaking for her.
