Chapter 116 Give a gift
"Ah! Why are you covered in blood? Are you injured?" Before Li Jie could figure out why Zhu Yuning apologized, he saw the other party suddenly covering his mouth in surprise and looking at him with a worried look on his face. She only found the blood on Li Jie's body.
"It's not my blood, but the whole family of Li's family was killed today, and I was stained with them for collecting the corpse!" Li Jie's expression was also very calm when he mentioned this.
When Zhu Yuning heard the execution of the Li family, he widened his eyes in shock, and then asked with an incredible look on his face: "Aren't you sad?"
"Why are you sad?" Li Jie asked back with a look of course.
"Are they your relatives?" Zhu Yuning asked even more surprised.
"When I left the capital, I heard that King Lu had passed away. Did the princess really feel sad when she heard this news?" Li Jie asked back with a joke on her face.
"I have never seen Uncle Lu, so how could it be..." Zhu Yuning suddenly woke up in the middle of speaking, and immediately spoke with some annoyance, "I understand, I took it for granted!"
Zhu Yuning is a proud woman. She has always claimed to be extremely intelligent. Even Zhu Yuanzhang admires her very much. However, when facing Li Jie, her peer, Zhu Yuning always feels crushed, which makes her feel frustrated.
"You haven't told me yet, why do you apologize to me?" Li Jie couldn't help feeling a little funny when he looked at Zhu Yuning's annoyed look.
"I..." Zhu Yuning wanted to speak but stopped, and her little face suddenly turned red. She really didn't know how to speak. After all, because of her mistake, Li Jie lost the opportunity to be awarded a title, so she was very worried that Li Jie would get angry because of this.
"I'll just say it!" Zhu Yunxiu next to him saw that his sister was embarrassed and immediately stood up and said with distress, "Actually, we can't blame her for this matter. The Korean Prince was convicted before, and the Jinyiwei arrested people everywhere. After the sister knew about it..."
As Zhu Yunxiu said that, he secretly left the palace to protect Li Zhu and his wife, which led to Zhu Yuanzhang venting his anger on Li Jie and causing him to lose the opportunity to be awarded a title in detail.
Zhu Yuning also stared at Li Jie with a nervous look on his face, afraid that he would be really angry about it.
As the saying goes, what you are afraid of is what you are. In Zhu Yuning's nervous gaze, Li Jie's face became more and more serious, which made her heart suddenly rise to her throat. At the same time, she was extremely aggrieved and her nose felt a little sore. After all, she was kind-hearted, 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 felt, as if she had encountered something very happy?
"You...why are you laughing at?" Zhu Yuning was almost crying anxiously at this time.
"I smiled and treated me well. I closed my eyes and married a princess. She turned out to be a woman with affection, righteousness, courage and knowledge. In comparison, what is a mere contribution?"
Li Jie was excited at the end and took a step forward, almost facing each other with Zhu Yuning. This made the other party take a "ah" and instinctively take a step back. His little face was almost bleeding due to shyness.
"You... are rude!" Zhu Yuning originally wanted to scold Li Jie and maintain her princess's demeanor, but when she said that, her voice was as thin as a mosquito. If she didn't listen carefully, she didn't know what she was saying?
"Cough~" Zhu Yunxi next to him finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he coughed dryly to remind the two of them, especially Li Jie, that he was still here. Although he was his prospective brother-in-law, he still had to pay attention to the influence.
Li Jie smiled with a shameless face. Actually, he really wanted to kiss the other person just now because he thought Zhu Yuning was really cute. Anyway, both of them were already engaged. If they were placed in the future, they might have unlocked various positions long ago. How could they not even pull a small hand like now?
"It's good that you don't get angry, I...I'm going back!" Zhu Yuning felt blushing and his heartbeat, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Li Jie. After talking in panic, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Li Jie suddenly called her and said. He had finally met once, but he didn't want to separate so easily, so he had a sudden inspiration and said immediately, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, I'm still a little angry."
Li Jie's words really worked. When he heard him, Zhu Yuning's steps stopped suddenly. Then he turned around with some trepidation, hesitated for a moment before saluting: "Then I apologize to you!"
"Apology must also be sincere. It happened to be my birthday a month later. Why don't you give me a birthday gift?" Li Jie asked for the gift with shameless face.
With Zhu Yuning's intelligence, of course, it was obvious that Li Jie was asking her for a gift under the pretext of being angry, which made her face blush, but she did not refuse, but asked in a low voice: "What gift do you want?"
This question really made Li Jie ask. After all, he just made a temporary decision and didn't think about what gift to ask for. Fortunately, he was a little anxious and soon thought of something. He immediately smiled and said, "I heard that during the Chinese New Year, when a woman meets a man she likes, she will give the handkerchief she embroidered with her hand. Why don't you give me a handkerchief she embroidered with me too?"
Zhu Yuning was so embarrassed that she could not raise her head when she heard this. She didn't expect that Li Jie was so thick-skinned that she asked her for such a token of inclusion from her.
However, Zhu Yuning thought about it again. He had already been engaged to Li Jie and even accepted the letter of appointment. Giving a handkerchief embroidered handkerchief was nothing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuning finally nodded slightly, but was embarrassed to speak, and then turned around and left, because she really didn't have the courage to stay here again. At first, she walked slowly, as if she wanted to maintain her dignity as a princess, but later she walked faster and faster without control, and finally she even seemed a little panicked.
Zhu Yunxiu looked at his sister's back as if she was almost running away at the end, and immediately stretched out his thumb to Li Jie and said, "Li Banju, you are so awesome. This is the first time I have seen someone who can make Sister run away in panic!"
"Girls are usually thin-skinned. As long as you are thicker, there will be no woman you can't deal with!" Li Jie smiled and taught Zhu Yunxi that this was the experience he summed up in his two lives.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yunxiu was not interested in Li Jie's words. Firstly, he was young and not yet interested in women. Secondly, as the emperor's grandson, even if he needs it in the future, as long as he hooked up, no problem with any kind of woman. Therefore, Li Jie's experience was useless to him. I have to say that people are really angry!
"But you may be disappointed in Li Bandu!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly spoke again.
"Why do you say that?" Li Jie was puzzled.
"Because my sister's girl Hongqi is extremely different. After studying for so long, she can't even embroider the flower. She probably can't take the handkerchief she embroidered!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, "I'm sorry, she revealed her sister's shortcomings."
"Haha~, you don't understand this. In fact, what does not matter. What matters is that your sister is willing to give me a gift!" Li Jie laughed again when he heard this. He said that he wanted Zhu Yuning to marry him willingly, but now he has made a good progress.
"Is that true?" Zhu Yunxiu was young after all, and he could not understand the subtleties of these relationships between men and women for the time being, so he simply changed the subject and said again, "By the way, Li Bandu, are you still leaving when you come back this time?"
"It shouldn't be gone again. What's the matter?" Li Jie thought about it and replied. He originally wanted to go to Ningbo again, but Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to call Zhang Dingbian back to talk to him in person, and the Japanese pirates along the coast were temporarily wiped out, so he didn't need to go back.
"Of course there is something wrong. You are not here during this period and no one has accompanied me out of the palace. I feel so bored!" Zhu Yunxiu was happy at first, and then complained to Li Jie. He didn't think it was before, but when Li Jie left, he was the only one who left the palace every afternoon. Although there were several workshops for him to manage, it was very boring over time, which made him miss Li Jie even more.
"Don't worry, since I'm back, you will definitely not be bored!" Li Jie laughed and then asked about the workshops again, and Zhu Yunxiu also answered 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 Yunyu's answer also made Li Jie very satisfied because the glass workshop has started to produce glass, and the quality of freshly produced glass is a bit poor, such as the transparency does not meet the requirements and cannot be used as a clairvoyant lens, so it can only be made into some simple glassware.
However, these are not a big problem for Li Jie. As long as the glass can be made on a large scale, he can find ways to improve it next, and then develop various uses of glass. In the future, it may also allow every household to use bright glass windows to replace those window papers with poor light transmission.
"There is one more thing!" Zhu Yunxiu suddenly slapped his forehead and thought of another important thing.
"What's the matter?" Li Jie asked again.
"Yuan Jianzheng of the Imperial Heaven Supervision has always wanted to see you, saying that there is a very important thing to discuss with you. If you don't come back, they may have to go to the coast to find you in person!" Zhu Yunxiu replied. He only knew that Yuan Jianzheng and the others were looking for Li Jie, but he was not very clear about what the matter was.
"Yuan Jianzheng and the others were looking for me? Could it be that something was 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 the others rush to find him.
"No, it shouldn't be a hot air balloon. The recent improvement of the hot air balloon has been very smooth. A few days ago, they flew across the Yangtze River on the hot air balloon and landed at the designated location, which is a considerable improvement!" Zhu Yunxiu denied Li Jie's speculation.
"It's not a hot air balloon? This made me a little curious!" Li Jie was even more surprised after hearing this, but he would definitely not be able to guess it just by guessing it. He would know when he saw Yuan Jianzheng asking. What he needs most now is to take a shower and have a good rest!
