Zhu Yunxiu was very confident and asked Lao Zhu to try cement himself, but Lao Zhu really tried it. He brought the inkstone on the table directly. Speaking of which, the inkstone on Lao Zhu's table has always been a disaster and a lot of troubles. It usually takes only three months. It is estimated that the palace specially prepared a batch of inkstones and paperweights for him as a backup.

Lao Zhu poured the cement powder into the inkstone, and under the guidance of Li Jie, he poured the water into it and stirred it. After putting it on his desk, he planned to wait for two days to see the effect with his own eyes.

In fact, Lao Zhu believes that Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi will not lie about this kind of thing, but he still wants to personally verify the effect of this kind of cement, because if cement is really like Li Jie and others said, then the entire project of building Peking City will be greatly improved and the construction period will be greatly shortened. This is a major event that cannot be ignored.

"You two are doing well. If this cement can really come in handy, I will definitely have a heavy reward in the future!" Finally, Lao Zhu also looked at Li Jie and Zhu Yunsheng with admiration.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to wait until the future. For example, the day after tomorrow will be Shangyuanjia!" Li Jie suddenly smiled and said.

"What's wrong with the Lantern Festival? Are you so anxious to get a reward?" Lao Zhu didn't understand what Li Jie meant for a moment.

"Well~ Your Majesty, the Chinese New Year is a day when young men and women meet. I think the princess should also want to go to the city to have a chance!" Li Jie said boldly. He did not do cement for nothing, but wanted Lao Zhu to pay for it, such as agreeing to let Zhu Yuning travel with him on the Chinese New Year.

"Nonsense! Didn't I say that I'll let you get married this year? You can do whatever you want after marriage, so why do you have to be before marriage?" Old Zhu also scolded him with a stern face, but his tone was not too tough.

"Your Majesty, it's different before and after marriage. Since you're about to get married, there's no need to avoid any taboos, right?" Li Jie said with a smile again.

"Grandpa Emperor, my sister and the others are really pitiful. Unlike me who can leave the palace often. Every time I tell them about the customs of people outside the palace, they all listened very well and often said that it would be great if you could go out and take a look. So my grandson offered cement this time without asking for anything else, but only asking my grandpa Emperor to let my elder sister go out of the palace. At that time, I will follow my elder sister throughout the journey, and there will be no problems!" Zhu Yunxiu also pleaded for mercy. When he was developing cement, Li Jie told him the purpose of developing cement.

If it were normal, Li Jie and Zhu Yunxiu's request would definitely be rejected, but now for the sake of cement, Lao Zhu was not easy to refuse. At this time, Zhu Biao actually stood up and said, "Father, the Shangyuan Festival is the day when young men and women meet. Usually, those girls who don't go out of the gate and don't step out of the gate will also take to the streets to play. When I was young, I was very excited about the Shangyuan Festival, so it would be better to fulfill them!"

Seeing that his son had spoken, Lao Zhu finally nodded and said, "Okay, Yun Hui, you will protect Yuning out of the palace to play the day after tomorrow. If there is anything wrong, I will ask you!"

Although Lao Zhu let go, he just asked Zhu Yunxi to protect Zhu Yuning out of the palace to play. He did not mention Li Jie at all, but as long as Zhu Yuning left the palace, Li Jie would definitely accompany him. Lao Zhu agreed to this matter.

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi immediately thanked Lao Zhu, and then they said goodbye happily and left. They were both anxious to tell Zhu Yuning the good news.

Old Zhu looked at the backs of Li Jie and Zhu Yunxiu leaving, then looked down at the cement in the inkstone on the desk, which made him smile with relief. It would be fine if Li Jie was fine, Yunxiu, the child, had grown up and could share his worries.

Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu left the warm room, and then the two immediately took action separately. Li Jie went to wait, and Zhu Yunyu quickly went to Zhu Yuning to announce the good news.

Zhu Yuning was revising the manuscript with Zhu Xueqing at this time. Li Jie would send some manuscripts in every few days. After reading them, they would copy two copies. One copy was originally collected by Zhu Yuning and the other copy was returned to Li Jie. This was also what Li Jie specifically advised before, because although his manuscript was written by himself, he sometimes wanted to flip through the manuscript when he was bored and passed the time.

At this moment, Zhu Yunxiu rushed in excitedly and shouted: "Sister, good news, you can leave the palace!"

"What palace does it leave?" Zhu Yuning was also startled, and then asked with confusion. While speaking, he secretly handed the manuscript to Zhu Xueqing, and Zhu Xueqing immediately hid it intently. After all, these manuscripts cannot be seen by Zhu Yunxi.

"Sun Yuan Festival, didn't you always say that you wanted to go out of the palace to see what the Spring Yuan Festival looks like outside? This time, Grandpa Huang agreed to let you and Li Banju to go out of the palace to play together!" Zhu Yunxiu was excited and did not notice the small movements of Zhu Yuning and Zhu Xueqing's collection of manuscripts.

"Don't joke, brother, how could Grandpa Emperor agree to such a ridiculous thing?" Zhu Yuning frowned when she heard this. Although she was very favored by Lao Zhu, she knew her grandfather's old-fashioned personality well, so she didn't believe in this matter at all.

"It's true. Li Bandu and I worked hard to study the same cement for Grandpa Emperor. So while he was happy, we asked to take you out of the palace to play. Later, my father also helped to plead, which made Grandpa Emperor finally let go. Now Li Bandu is waiting for you in the old place!" Zhu Yunxiu stepped forward and explained again.

"What is cement? Do you really let Grandpa Emperor agree?" At this time, Zhu Yuning also felt that his younger brother was not lying, so he asked again in surprise.

"I can't explain this matter clearly in one or two sentences, so let Li Bandu explain it to you!" Zhu Yunsheng said again.

Zhu Yuning finally stood up after hearing this. She wanted to ask Li Jie clearly, but after just two steps, she suddenly thought of something, so she turned her head and asked Zhu Xueqing, "Xueqing, do you want to go to see Li Jie with me?"

"Sister, stop kidding. Your little lovers meet, what am I going to do?" Zhu Xueqing covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this.

"You, you really learned bad things from that girl Yuqing. Her mouth became more and more powerful. Let's see how you get married in the future?" Zhu Yuning's face turned red when he was also said by Zhu Xueqing's "little lover". He immediately replied and left quickly with Zhu Yunxi.

Looking at Zhu Yuning's leaving back, Zhu Xueqing's face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly dimmed, but then she smiled herself and then lowered her head to sort out the manuscript again.

Zhu Yuning quickly stepped forward, and indeed saw Li Jie at a glance. He immediately asked again: "Grandpa Emperor really agrees to let me go out of the palace to have fun?"

"It's true. On the Lantern Festival, I can accompany you to play all the streets and alleys in the capital!" Li Jie also stepped forward excitedly.

As Li Jie said, the feeling of pre-marriage date and post-marriage date is completely different, especially since he and Zhu Yuning spend too little time together before marriage, so he wanted to leave more beautiful memories for the two of them while they were not married. To put it bluntly, after the couple gets married, there will inevitably be some conflicts of big and small during the running-in period. If the relationship before marriage is deeper, it is easier to understand each other and pass the running-in period smoothly.

"That's great!" Zhu Yuning also clenched her fists excitedly when she heard this, and her little face turned red. She had been locked up in this Forbidden City since she was a child. The only time she went out was the last time she went to Li Jie's house to save people. Her understanding of the outside world could only be achieved through other people's narratives or descriptions in the book, which made her yearn for the outside world even more.

After the initial surprise, Zhu Yuning suddenly looked at Li Jie with anxiety and asked, "Is the Shangyuan Festival outside fun?"

"Of course it's fun. I'll arrange it at that time and I will definitely let you have a good time!" Li Jie smiled again. Although the question asked by Zhu Yuning seems childish, it makes people feel a little sad, because without Zhu Yuning's same experience, it may be difficult for outsiders to understand her yearning for the outside world.

Hearing Li Jie say this, Zhu Yuning also dispelled the last bit of uneasiness in her heart, and even lost her usual calmness and wisdom. Her mind was full of poems related to the Shangyuan Festival. Especially with her fiancé Li Jie, she was accompanied by her side, which made her think of the poem "The moon is on the willows, and the person makes her make an appointment after dusk", which also made her feel shy for a while.
