In Donghunting, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was excited, actually asked Li Jie to make the conditions himself. As the saying goes, as long as the conditions Li Jie offered were not particularly outrageous, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely agree, but the conditions Li Jie wanted to make the conditions were a bit outrageous.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still waiting, and Li Jie didn't have much time to think, so he quickly made a decision. As the saying goes, the opportunity must not be missed, and no more mistakes will come. The influence of the hot air balloon is huge, even beyond his expectations. Zhu Yuanzhang was also in a hurry. If he didn't say it now, he would probably rarely have such opportunities in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Jie finally stepped forward with a solemn expression and said, "Report to Your Highness, I would like to ask the princess!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally smiling, froze suddenly, and Zhu Biao even looked up suddenly, looking disbelief. He even wanted to clean his ears at this time to see if something was wrong with his ears.

"Do you say it again?" After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't make a circle. He lived in his sixties, from a beggar to an emperor. It can be said that he had seen all kinds of things in the world, but this was the first time he met someone who dared to marry a princess in front of him.

You should know that when choosing a princess, you usually wait until the princess reaches the age of marriage, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself chooses it himself, and then chooses a princess in the form of rewards. The candidates for these princesses are either noble children or outstanding new Jinshi. This is also a feature of the early Ming Dynasty. Unlike the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the princesses were not of high origin.

"My minister Li Jie, please Shang Princess!" Li Jie said solemnly again. Of course, he knew that making such a request seemed outrageous to others, but he had no choice. After all, there was not much time left. Even though he had prepared some other opportunities to make contributions, there might not be such a sensation for hot air balloons, so this opportunity must not be missed.

After confirming that he had heard it correctly, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little confused. He was very happy about something, but now Li Jie made such an outrageous request, which made him not know how to react for a while. It was wrong to get angry, and even more wrong to be happy.

"Well, Li Sijian, please think about it again!" At this time, Zhu Biao came out to smooth things over. Even if he really wanted to confer Li Jie as his son-in-law, it must be decided by the court, not Li Jie himself proposed it. Therefore, Li Jie's actions were already a bit taboo.

"I have considered it very clearly. Please be sure to let your Majesty!" After Li Jie said that, he knelt down on the ground and said with a great respect. He also took the initiative. If he really angered Zhu Yuanzhang, the worst case would be nothing more than cutting off his head a few months in advance.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face became a little ugly, and his eyes looked at Li Jie were very complicated, and his brows were also frowning tightly, as if he was considering why Li Jie did this?

Zhu Biao next to him was also nervous. He was angry about Li Jie's recklessness, but he was worried that his father would blame Li Jie for it. After all, he was still very optimistic about Li Jie, but with his father's temper, if he really killed someone because of anger, he might not be able to stop him.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became a little cold, and then he suddenly stood up and said, "I am tired, let's talk about this later!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang said that, he turned around and left the warm cabinet, while Li Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, felt like he fell into an ice cave, and his heart was full of bitterness: he had failed in the end!

Zhu Biao next to him was relieved at first, then raised Li Jie in great anger and roared: "Li Jie! What the hell are you doing? Do you know if you anger your father, even I can't save you?"

Li Jie was completely disappointed at this time. After a moment, he smiled weakly and said, "If you can't marry a princess, it's better to let Your Majesty kill me!"

"You...you just want to marry a princess?" Zhu Biao was also stunned at this time.

Although marrying a princess seems to be a great honor for ordinary people, Zhu Biao knew that many people who are qualified to marry a princess were actually not willing. First of all, these people were either nobles or talented Jinshi. Even without the status of a prince-consort, their career was still very open.

Secondly, after marrying the princess, the identity of the princess also reduced them much freedom, such as not being able to take concubines or living with the princess. If you want to see the princess, you still need to report to the princess's house, let alone a series of problems such as in-laws. Therefore, for these people, marrying the princess is not a happy thing, but it is more like marrying an ancestor to pay for it.

"Yes, I would rather not have those credits than marrying the princess!" Li Jie said firmly again. This was related to the lives of their family. Although this made the marriage look like a naked exchange of interests and no relationship between men and women was included, he didn't care about these things now.

"You..." Zhu Biao was also a little amused when he heard this. He didn't expect Li Jie to be so stubborn. He didn't know what his unmarried sisters would react if they knew someone wanted to marry them so much.

"Although my father did not agree, he did not refuse explicitly. Let's do this. Go back first, I'll find an opportunity to find a question!" Zhu Biao had no choice but to comfort him.

"Your Highness thinks there is a turning point in this matter?" Li Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was very cold just now, he did not say he refused, but just said he wanted to think about it, which also made Li Jie feel a little hope.

"I didn't say there would be a turnaround, I just helped you find out what your father said. After all, only the father has the right to decide on the matter of a princess marrying, and I, the prince, can't help much," Zhu Biao explained hurriedly.

Although the elder brother is like his father, Zhu Biao's father is not dead yet, so it is not his turn to decide the family. Moreover, judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction just now, there is almost no turning point in this matter.

Li Jie suddenly woke up when he heard this. Although Zhu Yuanzhang said he wanted to think about it, it was more like a ruling statement. This made the little hope that had just arisen in his heart also seemed to have been poured into a basin of cold water, and he became depressed again.

Looking at the frustrated Li Jie, Zhu Biao didn't know what to say, so he had to comfort him for a few words and then sent him home to rest.

Li Zhu and his wife had prepared a sumptuous meal to welcome Li Ji. The day before yesterday, Li Zhu and his wife rode a hot air balloon to the sky. Others were amazed, but Li Zhu and his wife were worried that they had not had a good sleep for two days. Fortunately, Li Jie came back safely and received the attention of His Majesty, which also made Li Zhu and his wife proud.

But what Li Zhu and the others did not expect was that Li Jie was a little lost when he came back, which made the couple worried again. They asked Li Jie several times but didn't say anything, and they only ate a few bites of the food and said they were full, and then they locked themselves in the room.
