Chapter 143: Mocking Zhu Yuning

"See my sister again?" Zhu Yunxiu looked speechless when he heard this. The scale of the palace was very strict. Women usually couldn't even leave the palace, let alone meet men outside. Although Li Jie was his brother-in-law, as long as the two were not married yet, they could not meet at will. In fact, even if they were married, Li Jie needed to inform him if he wanted to meet Zhu Yuning.

"I am leaving Beijing this time to go to sea. The sea is full of wind and waves. What if something happens to an accident? Do you have the heart to not help me even with my little wish?" Li Jie said with a pitiful look.

"You will find reasons, but you are not afraid of being discovered by the emperor. When he gets angry, he might punish you again!" Zhu Yunxiu said speechlessly again. In his opinion, Li Jie has committed suicide too many times.

"It's okay. When your sister first came to see me, she got the acquiescence of His Majesty. As for the second time you saw me, His Majesty and the Prince knew it well and did not pursue it afterwards. Since there were the first two times, it would be better for this third time. And sooner or later, your sister and I were husband and wife. Now I want to travel far away, maybe it will take half a year to leave. It is normal for her to say goodbye to her!" Li Jie smiled again.

Now Zhu Yunxiu couldn't find any reason to refute, so he had to say, "I have to go back to the palace first to ask my sister. If she agrees, I will find a way to arrange a chance to meet you tomorrow."

"That's great. I haven't seen you for so long, your sister must have missed me a long time ago!" Li Jie said very narcissistically at the end.

"My sister really misses you very much, but my sister is thinking of killing you!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunsheng rolled his eyes at him and said.

"Why?" Li Jie was puzzled. When he met the last two times, he did not find that Zhu Yuning was a violent person?

"It's all your fault that you know too much. A big man even knows cooking. My sister is a stubborn person. She has been practicing cooking hard during this period, but she has not improved her cooking skills. Instead, she burned herself several times. A few days ago, she even burned her hair. Do you think she hates you?" Zhu Yunxiu said with some gloating at this time. He was suddenly looking forward to his sister and Li Jie's third meeting.

"Damn it, is it my fault for being versatile?" This time it was Li Jie speechless. In later marriages, men can do housework, but now it has become a disadvantage.

"Haha~, you have to ask my sister this. Remember to go to the palace early tomorrow!" Zhu Yunxiu laughed happily when he saw Li Jie's defeated look. With Li Jie's temperament, it seemed that only his sister could cure him.

The next morning, Li Jie did not rest at home, but came to Zhan Shi Mansion again. When he came to the class room, he saw that Zhu Yunyu and Zhu Yunwen were already sitting there waiting for class.

Li Jie also hurried behind Zhu Yunxiu, and then asked him in a low voice: "How is it?"

"Let's talk about it after class!" Zhu Yunxiu kept it in hiding.

Li Jie had no choice but to barely cheer up. At this time, the teacher who was teaching also came in. As a result, Li Jie found that the other party was Huang Zicheng who had not seen him for many days, which made him even more speechless. This guy's class was simply poisonous, and listening too much would reduce his IQ. Zhu Yunwen is a very obvious example.

Today, Huang Zicheng talked about "Zizhi Tongjian", which was originally an emperor's book, which mostly summarized the gains and losses of the government affairs of the past dynasties. Huang Zicheng talked very vigorously, but Li Jie always felt drowsy.

It was finally noon that Huang Zicheng left with satisfaction with the book. Zhu Yunwen immediately followed and discussed the gains and losses of listening to Huang Zicheng. Li Jie in the room suddenly became energetic and immediately grabbed Zhu Yunsheng's clothes and asked again: "Does your sister see me?"

"Don't worry, my sister will come later!" Zhu Yunxi replied with a smile. He finally couldn't hold back when he saw Li Jie.

Li Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. At this moment, a familiar figure walked into the room. It was Zhu Yuning who Li Jie had been thinking about day and night. To be honest, since he met Zhu Yuning, Li Jie found that he really fell in love with this stubborn girl.

"Yunning, you are finally here!" Li Jie immediately stood up excitedly and greeted him.

When Zhu Yuning heard Li Jie calling out his name directly, his pretty face turned slightly red, but he did not refuse. He stepped in front of Li Jie and sat down and said, "How long will you go to Beijing this time?"

"I can't say this either. It's fastest to March, and if it's slower, it may take more than half a year. After all, this time I led the fleet not only to go to Japan, but also to Goryeo on the way, so it may take more time." Li Jie immediately replied. Originally, these were secrets, only he, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao knew about it, but there was nothing to keep from Zhu Yuning.

Zhu Yuning hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then asked again: "Actually, I can't understand why you have to go to Japan. Is Grandpa the Emperor really going to send troops to Japan?"

"Yunning, are you interested in these?" Li Jie did not answer, but asked in surprise. Generally speaking, women were rarely interested in these political matters, let alone during the Ming Dynasty, women usually stayed at home without caring about the world.

"I am indeed very interested. It was a sudden time for you to go to Japan this time, and the imperial court showed no signs of going to war. Moreover, you and Duke Xinguo cleared out the Japanese pirates before, so there was no reason to go to Japan?" Zhu Yuning nodded and said again.

"Hehe, this matter is a bit complicated. On the contrary, I went to Japan this time to completely solve the Japanese pirates, but in fact, Your Majesty has another purpose, but this cannot be explained clearly in just a few words. If you are interested, I will tell you my time slowly in the future!" Li Jie smiled again. As for when will I have time? Of course, there will be plenty of time to spend with you after marriage.

Zhu Yuning seemed to know what Li Jie meant, and his face turned red again, but he quickly spoke again: "Although I don't know the purpose of your trip to Japan, I always feel that you are not going to Japan!"

"Uh?" Li Jie was also stunned when he heard this, because Zhu Yuning's words were not wrong. Japan was just his first step to let the Ming Dynasty go overseas, and there would be a wider space waiting for them to explore in the future.

Seeing Li Jie's shocked expression, Zhu Yuning also chuckled and said, "It seems that I guessed it right!"

"How did you...how did you know?" Li Jie asked in disbelief.

"It's very simple. Some time ago, I went to see Grandpa Huang and found that there was an extra thing called globe on his desk, and it was made by you and presented to Grandpa Huang. From this we can see that the world is all in your heart. How can a mere Japanese country satisfy your appetite?" Zhu Yuning said at the end and pointed to Li Jie's chest, his little face turned redder.

When Li Jie was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't help but admire Zhu Yuning. The other party was so smart that he could infer his own thoughts from just some side information. Fortunately, she was a woman. If she was a man, there would probably be nothing Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyu had to do.

Thinking of this, Li Jie couldn't help but reach out and hold Zhu Yuning's little hand and said, "Yunning, you are the smartest woman I have ever met. Unfortunately, there is no time now, otherwise I must tell you all the ideals and ambitions in my heart!"

Zhu Yuning didn't expect Li Jie to be so bold and instinctively wanted to break free from Li Jie's hand, but Li Jie held it tightly, and she couldn't break free for a while, especially when Zhu Yunyu was still watching them next to her, she lowered her head in shame, and her little face was almost dripping from water.

"Cough cough~" Zhu Yunxiu couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately coughed and reminded the two of them that he was still there, but he was speechless when he saw his shy sister. Didn't you still angry that Li Jie's cooking skills were so good? Why did you forget everything as soon as you met, but you guessed Li Jie's thoughts clearly. Is this the legendary heart-to-heart communication?

However, Li Jie completely ignored Zhu Yunxiu. After all, he and Zhu Yuning are engaged, so isn't it normal to hold hands?

"Yunning, you like calligraphy. I heard that the paper and ink in Goryeo are good. Do you want me to bring some back for you?" Li Jie asked while holding Zhu Yuning's little hand. He no longer expects Zhu Yuning's cooking skills and female beauty. However, it is also good to have a talented woman who likes to read and write as a wife. Anyway, their family will definitely not be short of people in the future.

"You...you can do it yourself!" Zhu Yuning was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up, and her mind was in chaos. After all, this was the first time she was so close to a man.

"Okay, then I'll bring more gifts at that time. If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, take it to give it to someone. Maybe after I come back this time, Your Majesty will let us get married!" Li Jie also showed a look of longing at the end.

However, when he heard the word "Get Marriage", Zhu Yuning was finally extremely shy. He immediately broke free from Li Jie and turned around and ran out. If she stayed there, she didn't know what shameful words Li Jie would say, and then she would really want to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Yunning, wait for me to come back!" Li Jie shouted at Zhu Yuning's back as he fled, and then he also showed a proud smile. It was quite interesting to have the opportunity to tease his smart little wife.

Zhu Yunxi next to him had a long face. Seeing Li Jie's smug smile, he couldn't help but splash cold water and said, "You are so bold. If the emperor finds out, you might be sent to Japan and you will never come back!"

"Impossible, Your Majesty is reluctant to let me stay in a place like Japan!" Li Jie said confidently.

Lao Zhu is a very suspicious person. Li Jie's performance has proved his talent, which has also made Lao Zhu find ways to win him over and even betrothed his granddaughter to him. Therefore, Li Jie will never be kept away from his sight for too long!
