"Thank you Li Banyu for the reminder, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life!" As soon as he came out of the main hall, Zhu Biao immediately saluted Li Jie very solemnly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is news from King Tan?" Li Jie was also startled, and hurriedly returned the salute and asked again.

"The news just came back today, when the second holy decree was sent, the eighth brother and his wife had already poured the hall full of fire oil and prepared to self-immolation, fortunately, the holy decree was delivered in time, but the eighth brother was excited and accidentally knocked over the fire candle, burning most of the entire palace, fortunately, the person was only slightly injured." Zhu Zi also showed a scared expression in the end.

The idea of summoning Zhu Zi back to Beijing was suggested by Zhu Biao, if something really happened to Zhu Zi, he probably wouldn't forgive himself in his life.

"King Tan is fine!" Li Jie also secretly wiped a cold sweat when he heard this, this time was too tight, and Zhu Zi was so excited that he even burned half of the palace, it seems that this King of Tan is also unlucky this year.

"My father was also very scared after receiving the news, and now I am in a hurry to see you, and there will definitely be a reward at that time, but ......" Zhu Biao said that he hesitated here, and then said euphemistically, "But you also have to do what you can, don't make your father too embarrassed!" ”

Zhu Biao's meaning is obvious, that is, he is afraid that Li Jie will use the credit to mention Princess Shang's matter again, last time his father had already rejected Li Jie once, if he mentioned it again, it would probably make Zhu Yuanzhang angry and embarrassed, and then the happy event would turn into a tragedy.

"Thank you Your Highness for reminding me, the minister knows it!" Li Jie replied noncommittally.

Soon Zhu Biao and Li Jie came to the warm pavilion, and when they entered it, they found that Zhu Yuanzhang was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Li Jie, he immediately said excitedly: "Li Jie, you are finally here, give me a seat!" ”

With Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, a eunuch immediately moved a chair, Li Jie sat down after thanking him, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang say excitedly again: "Thanks to your reminder this time, otherwise I'm afraid the eighth child will really do something stupid!" ”

"Your Majesty is polite, this is the duty of the minister!" Li Jie bowed to the humble road again.

"Don't be humble, merit will be rewarded, I am never stingy in rewards!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly paused when he said this, then stared at Li Jie with his eyes and asked again, "Say, what reward do you want?" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Biao next to him felt very wrong when he heard this, and even felt that this scene seemed to be inexplicably familiar, as if he had experienced it before?

Li Jie was still a little hesitant, but when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang make a request, the whole person was shocked, with Zhu Yuanzhang's shrewdness, the same mistake would never be made twice.

Thinking of this, Li Jie no longer hesitated, and immediately strode forward and saluted solemnly: "Minister Li Jie, please ...... Shang"

"Wait a minute!" Before Li Jie finished speaking, he was interrupted loudly by Zhu Biao, who had come to his senses, and he finally remembered that the scene when Li Jie invited Princess Shang last time was exactly the same as in front of him.

"Father, Li Jie is still young, and sometimes he lacks thoughtfulness when he speaks, please don't blame my father!" Zhu Biao stopped Li Jie in front of him at this time and pleaded for him, cold sweat broke out when he spoke, for fear that his father would be angry because of Li Jie and Princess Tishang, and at the same time he secretly blamed Li Jie in his heart, he had obviously reminded him before, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn.

However, what Zhu Biao never expected was that Zhu Yuanzhang on the opposite side suddenly stood up and waved his big hand: "I'm right!" ”

"Approved? What's right? Zhu Biao is also a little confused now?

"Li Jie listens to the order!" I saw Zhu Yuanzhang speak again.

Li Jie also stood up from behind Zhu Biao and knelt down and said, "Minister Li Jie listens to the order!" ”

"The lord of Danyang County is virtuous and virtuous, and he is married to Li Jie!" Zhu Yuanzhang said very briefly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jie was ecstatic and said, the lord of Danyang County is the title of Zhu Yunxi's sister, speaking of Danyang County, which is also the Jurong of later generations, although Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown is in Fengyang, his ancestral home is actually Jurong Tongde Township, and his ancestral home is used as the title of his granddaughter, which shows Zhu Yuanzhang's love for this eldest granddaughter.

Zhu Biao was completely stunned at this time, why did his father give Li Jie a marriage in a blink of an eye, and he was also a county lord, but didn't Li Jie want Princess Shang?

"Wait! Dan yang? It seems to be Yuning's title, right? Zhu Biao suddenly came to his senses, and finally remembered that the county lord of Danyang was his eldest daughter Zhu Yuning, which made him widen his eyes and exclaimed, "Father, why did you marry Yuning?" ”

"It turns out that her name is Zhu Yuning!" Li Jie heard this, but his heart moved, the woman's name in this era is kept secret, unless it is engaged, the woman will give her name and birth date to the man, so he also knows the name of his fiancée for the first time.

"What? Didn't you always want to marry Yu Ning? Lao Zhu asked rhetorically with his eyes glaring at Zhu Biao at this time.

"It's not...... I ......" Zhu Biao was also a little incoherent at this time, he didn't object to marrying his daughter, but he didn't know anything about becoming a father beforehand, and even seeing that Li Jie agreed so simply, he wondered if Li Jie also knew in advance?

"Okay, Li Jie has contributed to the country many times, and this time he saved the lives of the old eight family, and it happens to be the same age as Yuning, it is a good match, can you find a better husband for Yuning?" When Zhu Yuanzhang said at the end, there was a little more seriousness in his voice.

This made Zhu Biao finally calm down, at first he was just surprised and shocked, now think about it carefully, Li Jie is indeed a good candidate for son-in-law, he is young and talented, although his background is a little worse, but he is also after the noble, the most important thing is that through this marriage, Li Jie can be tied to the chariot of the East Palace, so that he can better use it for himself.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao finally let out a sigh, and immediately saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Erchen understands, everything is up to the emperor!" ”

Seeing that his son had figured it out, Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed a somewhat relieved smile, in fact, the reason why he gave the marriage was that he took a fancy to Li Jie's ability and wanted to leave Li Jie to Zhu Biao, if Li Jie was not Li Shanchang's grandson, maybe he promised to marry his daughter to him last time, and now Li Jie's performance made him more satisfied, so he simply agreed to give the marriage, but from a son-in-law to a grandson-in-law, which also made it easier for Zhu Biao to control Li Jie.

"You guys go down, and someone else calls Yuning, I have something I want to say to her!" The matter has been decided, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand again.

"Son's resignation!" Zhu Biao also saluted immediately when he heard this, and Li Jie also followed Zhu Biao and withdrew from the warm pavilion.

But as soon as he exited, Zhu Biao suddenly turned around and stared at Li Jie and asked, "Li Jie, tell me honestly, did you already know about this matter?" ”

"Why did Your Highness say this, how could the minister know about such a big matter as His Majesty's marriage, I thought His Highness would know?" Li Jie heard this, but he refused to admit it, although the marriage was decided, if Zhu Biao knew that he had been thinking about his daughter for a long time, I am afraid that he would not have good fruit to eat in the future.

"You really don't know?" Zhu Biao looked at Li Jie's sincere expression, and couldn't help but doubt his judgment.

"I really don't know!" Li Jie shouted again, but in his heart he was glad for his wisdom, he was worried about Zhu Yuning, he never told anyone about it, except for him, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He knew about it, these two old men would definitely not tell others, so Zhu Biao didn't want to know the truth in his life.

In addition, take a step back, even if Zhu Biao knows the truth in the future, it is useless, anyway, the raw rice will have already been cooked by then, and Zhu Biao, the old man, can't really treat him as a son-in-law.

Seeing that Li Jie didn't seem to be lying, Zhu Biao finally wavered, according to common sense, Li Jie really shouldn't know about it, but he, the prince and the father, should know in advance, did he really wronged Li Jie?

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel guilty for his suspicion, but now his identity is different, as Li Jie's father-in-law, he is embarrassed to admit his mistake to his son-in-law again, so he used the excuse to divert the topic, and then remembered Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, and immediately sent someone to Chunhe Palace to summon Zhu Yuning to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the same time, Zhu Yuning in the Chunhe Palace rarely did not read and write, but held an eyebrow pencil and was giving a thrush to the girl sitting opposite him, this girl looked younger than Zhu Yuning, it was her sister Zhu Yuqing, named the county lord of Qinghe.

Zhu Yuqing is only one year older than Zhu Yunxi, and it is said that their mother Chang died of hemorrhage when giving birth to Zhu Yunxi because the interval between two births was too short, resulting in the body not fully recovering.

Zhu Yuqing is somewhat similar to her sister, both have goose egg faces and big eyes, but because she is young, she has a little more childishness, at this time she is holding the glass mirror that Li Jie gave to Zhu Yuning, looking left and right, it seems that she can't see enough.

"Don't move, if you move your eyebrows again, your eyebrows will be crooked!" Zhu Yuning stretched out his hand and patted his dishonest sister.

was patted by her sister, Zhu Yuqing finally became honest, but then she circled her eyes and said with a smile: "Sister, I heard the little palace maid next to Concubine Lu say that she persuaded her father to find you a husband again!" ”

"Hmph~" I saw Zhu Yuning said very disdainfully, "Of course she wants me to get married, but I have already told my grandfather that unless you marry and my younger brother also marries, I won't get married!" ”

"Then how can I do it, when my younger brother gets married, my sister, you are old, how can you get married?" Zhu Yuqing shouted very exaggerated when she heard her sister's words, but her movements were too big, and Zhu Yuning suddenly drew her eyebrows to the corners of her eyes.

"Dead Nizi, tell you not to move, this painting is crooked!" Zhu Yuning angrily tapped her sister's forehead with her fingers, and then hurriedly picked up a wet towel to help her wipe her face, and did not answer her sister's words.

"Sister, seriously, if you want to get married, what kind of person do you want to marry?" Zhu Yuqing put his hands on his cheeks and let his sister help him wipe his face.

"What, you want to marry now?" Zhu Yuning did not answer positively, but picked up the eyebrow pencil and began to paint thrushes for her sister again.

"I just want to know what kind of Ruyi Langjun in your heart is like sister?" Zhu Yuqing saw that her sister didn't answer, and immediately prepared to be coquettish again.

Zhu Yuning was afraid that she would move again, so her face turned red and finally replied: "The Ruyi Langjun in my heart is best like my grandfather and grandfather, an invincible commander who gallops on the battlefield and is undefeated in a hundred battles!" ”

"Hey~, sister, you actually like this!" Zhu Yuqing screamed exaggerated again when she heard this, and almost made Zhu Yuning draw her eyebrows crookedly, which made Zhu Yuning also pat her head angrily, which made her dare not move.

In fact, Zhu Yuning is so big, there are not many men she has seen, and her mother died early, and Zhu Biao is not very close to their sisters and brothers, which makes Zhu Yuning mature early, and she usually behaves very strongly, because she wants to protect her younger brothers and sisters, but she is a woman after all, and sometimes she hopes to meet someone who can protect herself.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang is still very fond of Zhu Yuning's granddaughter, it can be said that Zhu Yuning has much more affection from his grandfather than from his father Zhu Biao, which also makes Zhu Yuning worship his grandfather even more, coupled with the influence of her mother, she also admires her grandfather Chang Yuchun very much, and a variety of reasons are combined, and finally Zhu Yuning imagined a heroic and invincible Ruyi Langjun in his heart.

If Li Jie knew the above, I am afraid that he would want to cry without tears, because he was powerless and completely incompatible with the image of an invincible commander.

Taking advantage of her sister's honesty, Zhu Yuning finally painted her eyebrows, which made Zhu Yuqing pick up the mirror and look at her appearance narcissistically again, and finally suddenly hugged her sister's arm and said coquettishly again: "Sister, I like your mirror too much, can you give it to me?" ”

"No, you took all my rouge away last time, don't think about taking my mirror again this time!" Zhu Yuning heard this, but snatched his mirror and said.

How can a girl not like a mirror, since the news that she has a glass mirror has spread, the women in the entire palace are very envious of her, and some people are cheeky to borrow, but she directly refused, but her sister is good, and she asked her directly.

"Sister~" Zhu Yuqing saw that her sister didn't give it, and immediately sacrificed her coquettish Dafa again.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuning didn't eat her this time, but seeing that she was pitiful, he pointed out to her: "If you really want it, go to the younger brother, he knows the Li Jie who can make mirrors, maybe he can help you get a piece back." ”

"I've been looking for my little brother a long time ago!" I saw Zhu Yuqing stomping his feet angrily, "But the younger brother told me that Li Jie said that there is no suitable glass now, and there is no way to make a mirror." ”

"Then I can't help it." Zhu Yuning said helplessly when she heard this, the glass mirror is her beloved thing, so she will never give it to her sister.

"Ah~, I'm annoyed, if anyone gives me a glass mirror, I'll marry him!" Zhu Yuqing played a little trick and fell on Zhu Yuqing's bed and screamed while rolling around, but soon she thought of something again, and immediately sat up, staring at Zhu Yuning with shining eyes and said, "Sister, why don't you give me the mirror, how about I marry you?" ”

"You crazy girl!" Zhu Yuning couldn't help laughing and scolding when she heard her sister's nonsense.

But before the words fell, they were pulled to the bed by Zhu Yuqing, and the two sisters made a mess, and crisp laughter resounded throughout the hall.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a palace maid rushing to report: "Lord Qiqi, Your Majesty has summoned you!" ”
