Ji Jiuhua had to admit that this meal was more difficult than him, all the meals he had eaten before combined, even if he was in business in the past and discussed some business matters with others, he didn't have to go around in circles with the emperor.

What's more, what he has to worry about is not only his own interests, but also the safety of the whole family. Otherwise, the emperor was unhappy and beheaded her family, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

It was originally for the future development, but it made itself into a dilemma, seven or nine words, no matter how stupid he was, he would not do such a thing, but fortunately, this meal ended quickly, and there was no intention of leaving people at night.

After Ji Jiuhua hurried back to the Ji Mansion, although it was already very dark, there seemed to be lights still on in the Ji Mansion.

After Ji Jiuhua went in, he took a closer look and found that Shu Fangzhai had not turned off the lights, and his parents seemed to have gone to bed early, and there was no light in the courtyard at all at this moment.

There was still warm yellow candlelight in Shu Fangzhai's small study, and Ji Jiuhua knew without thinking about it that Su Manxue must be waiting for him in the study.

"If you don't sleep so late, didn't I tell you yesterday that you don't have to wait for me? I can't get up tomorrow, but fortunately, this is in my own home, and I know you better, if you marry an ordinary family, if you sleep lazy, you will gossip about others. ”

As soon as Ji Jiuhua entered the room, he felt the warmth in the study, and when you look at the small corner of the study, sure enough, the charcoal brazier has been placed.

And Su Manxue was sitting behind the desk, holding a book and reading it with relish, without dozing off at all, and still having a cup of flower tea in her hand, as if it was for relieving your tiredness after dinner tonight.

Su Manxue heard the sound of this sentence, and suddenly raised her head in a little surprise at first, and saw that it was Ji Jiuhua who walked in, but put down the book in her hand.

poured Ji Jiuhua a cup of flower tea and put it in his hand, Ji Jiuhua sat down in the seat next to him, and brushed up the falling hair for Su Manxue.

Everything is so warm, it naturally seems to have been rehearsed thousands of times, but Ji Jiuhua really knows that he has never done such a thing for anyone.

Only when facing Su Manxue, he could still put a softness in front of her, which made Ji Jiuhua feel very unaccustomed, but he was so natural.

"You just said that I don't have to wait for you to come back for dinner, and you didn't say that I don't have to wait for you to come back to rest, not to mention that I got up late this morning, and I had a lunch break at noon, and I really can't sleep at this time, just have a cup of tea, and it's not bad to wait for you to come back, this book is quite interesting."

Su Manxue sandwiched a bookmark on the page she saw, and then closed the book, this one is a chat about Zhai Zhiwei, and the stories in it are also very interesting, for Su Manxue, although they are all stories of demons and monsters, Su Manxue watched it with relish.

"Well, at this time, you are still playing poor with me, it is already so late, according to the habit, you should have gone to sleep, you see that your father and mother have already rested first, but since you haven't slept, you must be too worried about what the emperor said today."

Ji Jiuhua pressed Su Manxue's hand holding the teacup, and transferred Ah Ning to take out the longan and red date soup he had just ordered the kitchen to prepare.

"Don't drink tea at this point, I can't sleep at all, and I drink tea vigorously, don't you want to sleep tonight? Let's have some soothing drinks. ”

Su Manxue admitted that she was really worried about what Ji Jiuhua talked about with the emperor, this is a big deal after all, if she doesn't care, then it's big or wrong.

"What did the emperor say? We talked until this point and didn't come back, so it must be a more important thing, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed until you finished eating in the evening. ”

Su Manxue rubbed her eyes, although she said it earlier just now, she was indeed a little sleepy after this point.

But Su Manxue is still sitting here with her own worries, and now that Ji Jiuhua is back, the heart she has been carrying has also been relaxed, so naturally she will feel sleepy after the tense nerves are loosened.

It was already early outside, and she had been looking out the window to see how late it was, and she didn't want to look at the clock she had bought from the West on the table.

"It has something to do with Pingyang Palace, it's not convenient for me to talk to you about this matter now, I'll tell you when I get back, this matter is not easy to go outside, even if it is your group of good sisters, not a word can be leaked.

But it's almost time for the emperor's birthday party, and you seem to need to organize and organize, what birthday gifts are more appropriate, as well as your clothes, must be arranged together.

You have bought a lot of clothes, but in two months, you won't be able to wear them in winter. Pick your favorite cloak style and don't look back and be caught off guard. ”

Ji Jiuhua didn't know when he pulled out a book from the top of the shelf, although he didn't read the content carefully, but Su Manxue Judging from the wear and tear on it, Ji Jiuhua must have been reading this book for a long time before.

Su Manxue thought about it carefully, now there are no winter clothes in her wardrobe, and even the number of autumn clothes is very small. The few thin cloaks now are too cold when I went out shopping a few days ago, so I bought them casually in the shop.

The key is that this is too coincidental, Mrs. Ji's birthday party has just passed, she racked her brains for Mrs. Ji's birthday gift, and finally won Mrs. Ji's liking, she could have finally breathed a sigh of relief, she only needs to look at the shop to buy what she likes on weekdays, and live a life of enjoying flowers and the moon.

As a result, Ji Jiuhua went to the palace, and when he came back, he told him that he was going to the emperor again, and she had to run for the emperor's birthday gift, and not only that, all the clothes in the palace were exquisite.

You can't always dress up, it's all as ordinary as usual, and the makeup is not very appropriate.

If it is said that some ordinary small banquets on weekdays are almost forgotten, everyone at the emperor's birthday banquet will pay great attention to their image, which is not the same grade as usual, not to mention that she not only has to consider her own dress, but also Ji Jiuhua's dress, she also needs to pay special attention.

"There are still two months of work, and I don't know if it's too late, but the last time I was auctioned in the Treasure Pavilion, I heard that there is also a piece of jadeite in the Qingjin Kingdom, which is very beautiful, so it is better for me to go to the Qinguo country this time, see the excitement, and see if I can buy that piece of jadeite."

I heard that the emperor respects Buddhism very much, and carves a small Buddha statue with this jade and gives it to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely be very happy. What's more, the price of jadeite is not low, and everything is not bad. ”
