Chapter 116: Give a Gift
"Yikes! Why are you covered in blood, are you injured? didn't wait for Li Jie to figure out why Zhu Yuning apologized, but saw the other party suddenly cover his mouth in surprise, looked at him with a worried face and asked, she only then found the blood stains on Li Jie's body.
"It's not my blood, it's the Li family that is beheaded all over the house today, and I got it for them to collect their corpses!" When Li Jie mentioned this, his expression was also very calm.
Hearing that the Li family was beheaded, Zhu Yuning's eyes widened in shock, and then he asked with an incredulous face: "Don't you feel sad?" ”
"Why be sad?" Li Jie asked rhetorically with a natural expression.
"Are they your relatives?" Zhu Yuning asked even more surprised.
"When I left the capital before, I heard that King Lu had passed away, did the princess really feel sad after hearing the news?" Li Jie asked with a playful face.
"I haven't seen Uncle Lu at all, how can I ......" Zhu Yuning suddenly came to his senses halfway through speaking, and immediately said with some annoyance, "I understand, it's me who takes it for granted!" ”
Zhu Yuning is a proud woman, she has always boasted of being intelligent, which even Zhu Yuanzhang admires her very much, but when facing Li Jie's peers, Zhu Yuning always has a feeling of being crushed, which makes her feel frustrated.
"You haven't told me yet, why are you apologizing to me?" Li Jie couldn't help but feel a little funny when he looked at Zhu Yuning's annoyed appearance.
"I ......" Zhu Yuning stopped talking, her little face turned red all of a sudden, and she really didn't know how to speak, after all, because of her mistake, Li Jie lost the opportunity to be knighted, so she was also very worried that Li Jie would be angry because of this.
"I'll tell you!" Zhu Yunxi, who was next to him, saw Sister A's embarrassed look, and immediately stood up and said distressedly, "Actually, Sister A's matter can't be blamed for this, before the Korean public was convicted, Jinyiwei arrested people everywhere, and Sister Ah ...... after she found out."
Zhu Yunxi said that Zhu Yuning went out of the palace privately that day to protect Li Zhu and his wife, which caused Zhu Yuanzhang to vent his anger on Li Jie and make him lose the opportunity to be knighted.
Zhu Yuning also stared at Li Jie nervously, for fear that he would really be angry because of this.
is the so-called fear of something, in Zhu Yuning's nervous gaze, Li Jie's face became more and more solemn, which made her heart suddenly raise her throat, and at the same time she was very aggrieved, and her nose was a little sour, after all, she was also kind, who would have thought that she would do something bad?
Just when Zhu Yuning's tears were about to fall, she never dreamed that Li Jie suddenly looked at her and laughed, and the more she laughed, the happier she became, as if she had encountered something very happy?
"You...... What are you laughing at? Zhu Yuning was about to cry at this time.
"I laugh at God and treat me well, I married a princess with my eyes closed, and she turned out to be a woman who is affectionate, righteous, courageous and knowledgeable, compared to what is a little credit?"
Li Jie was excited in the end, and actually stepped forward and almost stuck face to face with Zhu Yuning, which made the other party also "ah", instinctively took a step back, and a small face was about to drip blood because of shyness.
"You...... Rude! Zhu Yuning wanted to scold Li Jie and maintain her princess demeanor, but when the words came out, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and she didn't know what she was talking about if she didn't listen carefully?
"Cough~" Zhu Yunxi next to him finally couldn't stand it anymore at this time, so he reminded the two of them with a dry cough, especially Li Jie, he is still here, although he is his quasi-brother-in-law, he still has to pay attention to the impact.
Li Jie smiled cheekily, in fact, he really wanted to kiss each other just now, because he thought Zhu Yuning was really cute, anyway, the two of them were already engaged, if they were placed in the next life, maybe they would have unlocked various postures a long time ago, how could it be like not even pulling a little hand now?
"If only you weren't angry, I'...... I'm going back! Zhu Yuning felt his face red and his heart beat at this time, and he didn't dare to look at Li Jie, so he turned around and was about to leave after saying it in a panic.
"Wait a minute!" Li Jie suddenly stopped her and said, it was hard to meet once, and he didn't want to be separated so easily, so he immediately said, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, I'm still a little angry." ”
Li Jie's words really worked, hearing that he was still a little angry, Zhu Yuning's footsteps also stopped suddenly, and then he turned around a little apprehensively, hesitated for a moment before saluting: "Then I apologize to you!" ”
"Apologize also with sincerity, it just so happens to be my birthday in a month, why don't you give me a birthday gift?" Li Jie was cheeky and asked for a gift directly.
With Zhu Yuning's intelligence, of course, she could see that Li Jie was asking for a gift from herself under the pretense of being angry, which made her blush, but she didn't refuse, but asked in a low voice: "Then what gift do you want?" ”
This question really stopped Li Jie, after all, he was only temporary, and he didn't think about what gift he wanted at all, fortunately, he was still a little anxious, and soon thought of something, and immediately smiled again: "I heard that during the Shangyuan Festival, when a woman meets a man she likes, she will give her hand-embroidered handkerchief to the other party, why don't you give me a hand-embroidered handkerchief?" ”
Zhu Yuning was even more ashamed when she heard this, she almost couldn't raise her head, she didn't expect Li Jie's face to be so thick-skinned, and she would directly ask herself for this kind of token of engagement.
However, Zhu Yuning thought about it again, he and Li Jie had already been engaged, and even accepted the letter of appointment, and it was nothing to send a hand-embroidered handkerchief.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuning finally nodded slightly, but she was embarrassed to speak, and then turned to leave, because she really didn't have the courage to stay here anymore, at first she walked slowly, as if she wanted to maintain her prestige as a princess, but then she walked faster and faster uncontrollably, and finally looked even a little flustered.
Zhu Yunxi looked at her sister's back as if she was running away in the end, and immediately stretched out her thumb to Li Jieyi and said, "Li Banyu is so amazing, it's the first time I've seen someone who can make Sister run away!" ”
"Girls are generally thin-skinned, as long as you are thick-skinned, there is no woman you can't deal with!" Li Jie smiled and taught Zhu Yunxi that this was the experience he had summed up in his two lifetimes.
It's a pity that Zhu Yunxi is not interested in Li Jie's words, firstly, he is young and has not yet reached the time when he is interested in women, and secondly, as the emperor's grandson, even if he needs it in the future, as long as he hooks his hand, what kind of woman is not a problem, so Li Jie's experience is completely useless to him, I have to say that people are really angry compared to people!
"But you may be disappointed!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly spoke again.
"Why do you say that?" Li Jie was puzzled.
"Because my sister's female red is extremely different, I have studied for so long, but I can't even embroider a flower, and I am afraid that she will not be able to take the handkerchief she embroidered at all!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and broke the news of his sister's shortcomings.
"Haha~, you don't understand this, in fact, it doesn't matter what you give, the important thing is that your sister is willing to give me a gift!" When Li Jie heard this, he laughed again, he had said that he wanted Zhu Yuning to marry him willingly, and now he has made good progress.
"Really?" After all, Zhu Yunxi is young and can't understand the subtleties of these men and women for the time being, so he simply changed the topic and said again, "By the way, Li Banyu, are you still going to leave when you come back this time?" ”
"I shouldn't be going again, what, what's the matter?" Li Jie thought for a while and replied, originally he wanted to go to Ningbo again, but Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to summon Zhang Dingbian back to talk to him in person, and the coastal pirates were temporarily cleared, so he didn't need to go back.
"Of course there's something, you're not here during this time, and no one is going out of the palace with me, so boring!" Zhu Yunxi was happy at first, and then complained to Li Jie, he didn't think it before, but when Li Jie left, he was the only one out of the palace every afternoon, although there were a few workshops for him to manage, but it was very boring after a long time, which also made him miss Li Jie even more.
"Don't worry, since I'm back, you won't be bored!" Li Jie also laughed when he heard this, and then asked about the workshops, and Zhu Yunxi also answered them one by one.
Among them, the glass workshop is what Li Jie is most concerned about, because the use of glass is too great, and Zhu Yunxi's answer also made Li Jie very satisfied, because the glass workshop has begun to produce glass, and the glass that has just been produced is a little poor in quality, such as the transparency does not meet the requirements, and it cannot be used as a lens for clairvoyance, so it can only make some simple glassware.
However, these are not big problems for Li Jie, as long as the glass can be produced on a large scale, then he can find ways to improve, and then develop various uses of glass, and maybe in the future, every household can use bright glass windows, replacing those window paper that is too poor in light transmission.
"One more thing!" When Zhu Yunxi said this, he suddenly slapped his head and thought of another important thing.
"What's the matter?" Li Jie asked again.
"Eunuch Yuan of Qin Tianjian has always wanted to see you, saying that there is a very important matter they want to discuss with you, and if you don't come back, they may have to go to the coast to find you in person!" Zhu Yunxi replied that he only knew that Yuan Jian was looking for Li Jie, but he didn't know exactly what it was.
"Eunuch Yuan, they're looking for me? Could it be that something is wrong with the hot air balloon? Li Jie also whispered to himself when he heard this, after all, apart from the hot air balloon, he couldn't think of anything that would make Yuan Jianzheng and them anxious to find him.
"No, it shouldn't be a hot air balloon thing, the recent improvement of hot air balloons is very smooth, a few days ago they also flew over the Yangtze River in a hot air balloon, and landed at the designated location, which is a big progress!" Zhu Yunxi denied Li Jie's speculation.
"Not a hot air balloon thing? This makes me a little curious! Li Jie was even more surprised when he heard this, but he couldn't guess just by guessing, so he would know when he saw Yuan Jian Zheng and asked, what he needed most now was to take a bath and eat and then have a good rest!
