In the study building on the west side of Zuo Chunfang, Zhu Yuning was smiling, and a pair of black and white eyes were also looking up and down at Li Jie in front of him, as if he had met him for the first time.

But Li Jie had a frank face, without any weakness at all, of course, he did not do anything, even in the face of Zhu Yuning, he had a clear conscience.

"You don't want to explain?" Zhu Yuning looked at Li Jie for a long time before finally speaking.

"Doesn't Your Highness know everything?" Li Jie smiled helplessly and said, since Zhu Yunxi sued himself, he must have told the story in detail, and Zhu Yuning must have known that he was engaged to the Hu family.

"I know you're engaged, but listening to Yunxi's story, you must be more than just engaged, right?" Zhu Yuning asked again, with her cleverness, even if she just said a few words from Zhu Yunxi, she could analyze something, so it may not be a good thing to say that his wife is too smart.

"What could be anything between us that isn't easy?" Li Jie explained helplessly again, "Actually, Miss Hu and I met for the first time yesterday, and she didn't know me originally, but the maid next to her saw me, we met by chance, and then chatted a few words, the truth is as simple as that!" ”

"Yes, when the Hu family ruined your marriage when you were down, didn't you hate her?" Zhu Yuning asked again inquiringly.

"It was her father who ruined the marriage, and he had nothing to do with her, and he ......"

Li Jie suddenly stopped when he said this, because he was worried that if he continued to talk, Zhu Yuning would probably have to be too careful.

However, Li Jie's worry was too late, and I saw Zhu Yuning smile again and asked, "And what?" Your relationship is really not simple! ”

"I ......" Li Jie was also speechless, and finally simply gritted his teeth and said honestly, "Miss Hu and I are not what you think, after ruining the marriage that day, Miss Hu caught up with me and wanted to give me money to spend my sadness, but I refused, at that time I foresaw a catastrophe in my family, and I didn't even know whether I would live or die tomorrow, so I made an agreement with her!" ”

"I really didn't guess wrong, you even have an agreement between you, do you plan to marry her again after the crisis in the family is resolved?" Zhu Yuning couldn't laugh at this time, and immediately glared at Li Jie and asked again.

"Did you listen to me tell me well?" Li Jie also cried and laughed when he heard this, "Although I saw that the family was in trouble, and I tried my best to protect my family, I didn't have any certainty, so I said to Miss Hu, if I unfortunately died, ask her to collect the body for me, if I can survive, I owe her a favor, and if I need it in the future, I will do my best to help her!" ”

Hearing that the content of the agreement was not what he thought, Zhu Yuning also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still unforgiving: "You are willing to entrust your life and death to others, no wonder people miss you!" ”

"Listen to what you mean, you're not jealous, are you?" Li Jie suddenly reversed the army at this time, and after confessing, he was relieved, and the whole person calmed down.

"I'm a princess, how can I eat the vinegar of a nameless little woman?" Zhu Yuning raised her head arrogantly and refused to admit it, in fact, only she knew that when she heard that Li Jie had an agreement with other women just now, she did have a taste of vinegar in her heart.

"Wait a minute, you seem to be the county lord now, right?" Li Jie did not forget to dismantle Zhu Yuning's platform, last time she rashly went out of the palace to save Li Jie's family, she was already demoted to the county lord by Lao Zhu.

"Haven't you made a great contribution recently, Grandpa Huang is ready to restore my princess title!" Zhu Yuning replied with a natural expression, she has also figured it out now, Li Jie is her future husband, so his credit is her own credit.

"No, the credit I have made, and now the reward for me has not come down, why did I reward you first?" Li Jie was speechless, he had been back for almost a month, but there was no shadow of the reward, but Zhu Yuning was wiped out first.

"It's estimated that it's fast, your credit is too great, and the imperial grandfather is also very headache, the reward is too small, and the imperial grandfather is unwilling, but in my estimation, an earl must be indispensable!" Zhu Yuning laughed again.

These news were also said to her by Lao Zhu personally when Zhu Yuning went to ask Lao Zhu for peace the day before yesterday, and even asked her what reward she should give Li Jie, of course, with Zhu Yuning's cleverness, she would definitely not express any opinions easily, because she knew that the emperor's grandfather hated women the most.

"Earl? It's not bad, but I don't know what the title is? Li Jie also said happily when he heard this, although there are many princes of the Ming Dynasty, most of them are the founding heroes, except for the titles of Liu Ying, most of them are fought by real knives and guns, and it is very difficult for others to be knighted, such as the famous Liu Bowen, who was only named a sincere uncle.

In addition, Li Jie also knew that Lao Zhu would definitely not reward himself too much, because Lao Zhu was ready to leave himself to Zhu Biao, if the reward was too much now, Zhu Biao would probably have nothing to reward in the future, which was not a good thing for the emperor and the minister, so it was not easy for Lao Zhu to make Li Jie an earl.

"Okay, it's not too early, I'm going back too, you go about your business!" Zhu Yuning said and turned around to leave, she and Li Jie met against the rules of the palace, although there was the tacit consent of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, but the meeting time was too long and it was suspicious.

"Wait a minute, you asked me to ask the master, and now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, don't you have a little expression?" Li Jie stepped forward to stop Zhu Yuning.

"What is the teacher asking for sin? I'm just curious, so I'm just asking you! Zhu Yuning said stiffly.

"I still don't admit it, I remember the way you were jealous just now!" Li Jie pressed again.

"I said I wasn't jealous!" Zhu Yuning still refused to admit it, but then suddenly asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Of course, it can show your sincerity!" Li Jie took a step forward with a smile, lowered his head and looked at Zhu Yuning's little face and said, Zhu Yuning's height is indeed very high among women, but he is still a little shorter than him, fortunately, there are no high heels in this era, and Li Jie still has the opportunity to look down on her.

Zhu Yuning didn't flinch, but stared at Li Jie's eyes and suddenly smiled: "Okay, then I'll show my sincerity!" ”

I saw Zhu Yuning suddenly blink when he said this, and then said with a sly smile: "If you are beheaded again next time, I will definitely collect the body for you!" ”

"I ......" Li Jie was angry.

At this time, Zhu Yuning giggled and took a step back and said, "Now that you and I have the same agreement, you don't have to trouble others!" ”

"Can you stop saying such frustrating words?" Li Jie shouted speechlessly, he managed to escape his life last time, and he didn't want to go through it a second time.

"Okay, no kidding, I'm leaving, I'll look for you next time I have something!" Zhu Yuning looked at Li Jie's deflated expression but smiled very happily, then waved his hand to him, and then turned around to leave the study building.

However, Zhu Yuning had just taken a few steps, but suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, so he turned around and asked, "By the way, are you going to accompany your father to Chang'an?" ”

"Yes, but we won't leave until next spring." Li nodded and replied, of course, the premise is that Zhu Biao can lose weight successfully, otherwise Li Jie will definitely find a way to delay time again.

"That's great, before you leave, let Yunxi tell me that I have a letter for you to bring for me!" Zhu Yuning said again.

"Letters? For whom? Li Jie was also a little surprised, Zhu Yuning usually had difficulty even leaving the palace, how could he write letters to people outside?

"My cousin, have you forgotten that my second uncle is in Chang'an?" Zhu Yuning replied.

When Li Jie heard this, he suddenly remembered that Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was in Xi'an, and like Zhu Di, Zhu Fan was also one of the nine border kings in the early Ming Dynasty, and the troops in his hands were no worse than Zhu Di, but although this Zhu Fan was also very capable of fighting, his reputation was not very good.

"No problem, I'll let you know in advance!" Li Jie nodded immediately, but it was just a letter, of course he would not refuse.

"Well, then thank you in advance, speaking of which, cousin, she has been living in the capital since she was a child, and I have the best relationship with her, she returned to her three years ago, and we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Zhu Yuning mentioned that his cousin actually showed a somewhat worried look.

Li Jie was also a little surprised when she heard this, Zhu Rong's daughter must also be the county lord, but Zhu Yuning actually said that her life was hard, and she looked at the expression when she spoke, it seemed that she was also worried about that cousin, which was a little strange.

At the mention of that cousin, Zhu Yuning's mood also fell suddenly, Li Jie was embarrassed to ask if he wanted to, so he could only watch the other party leave, and then he also went out of the study building, and at a glance saw Zhu Yunxi standing there in front of the door and thinking hard.

"What do you think?" Li Jie stepped forward and pushed Zhu Yunxi and said.

"Eldest sister didn't bother you?" Zhu Yunxi came to his senses, and then looked at Li Jie with an incredulous expression and asked.

"I didn't do anything in the first place, and your sister is not a vexatious woman, how can she trouble me?" Li Jie pouted and said, this brother-in-law is not very good, he is looking forward to the conflict between the two of them?

"No, when did the eldest sister's temper become so good?" Zhu Yunxi still said with an incomprehensible expression, he thought that after the eldest sister saw Li Jie, a dragon and tiger fight would break out, but he didn't expect the two of them to be so calm, he eavesdropped outside for a long time and didn't see the expected scene.

"Okay, don't think about it, your sister mentioned her cousin in Chang'an just now, do you know her?" Li Jie inquired curiously about Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yuning's strange behavior just now made him a little curious about this county lord.
