In the bookstore on the west side of Zuochunfang, Zhu Yuning smiled, and his black and white eyes were also looking up and down at Li Jie in front of him, as if he had known him for the first time.

However, Li Jie was open-minded and did not look guilty at all. Of course, he did not do anything, even when facing Zhu Yuning, he had a clear conscience.

"Don't you want to explain?" Zhu Yuning looked at Li Jie for a long time before finally speaking.

"Don't your highness know everything?" Li Jie smiled helplessly. Since Zhu Yunyu had sued her, he must have explained the story in detail, and Zhu Yuning must also know that he had been engaged to the Miss Hu family.

"I know you've been engaged, but after Yun-Yu's story, you must be more than just getting engaged, right?" Zhu Yuning asked again. With her intelligence, even if she was just a few words from Zhu Yun-Yu, she could analyze something, so it may not be a good thing to say that a wife is too smart.

"What's not simple between us?" Li Jie explained helplessly again when he heard this, "Actually, it was the first time I met Miss Hu yesterday. She didn't know me either, but the maid around her had met me. We met by chance and then chatted for a few words. The fact is that simple!"

"Is that so? When the Hu family broke the marriage while you were in a downfall, didn't you hate her?" Zhu Yuning asked again with great questions.

"It was her father who broke the marriage, and it had nothing to do with her, and..."

Li Jie suddenly stopped when he said this because he was worried that if he continued to say anything, Zhu Yuning might have to be too careful.

However, Li Jie was too late to worry. Zhu Yuning smiled again and asked, "And what? The relationship between you is indeed not simple!"

"I..." Li Jie was also speechless, and finally gritted his teeth and said the truth, "Ms. Hu and I were not what you thought. After the marriage was ruined that day, Miss Hu caught up with me and asked to give me money to survive the sadness, but I refused. At that time, I foreseeed that the disaster at home was coming, and I didn't even know whether to live or die tomorrow, so I made an agreement with her!"

"I was right, you even had an agreement. Are you planning to marry her as your wife after resolving the crisis at home?" Zhu Yuning couldn't laugh at this time, and immediately glared at Li Jie and asked again.

"Would you please listen to me and say it?" Li Jie said with a smile and laughter when he heard this. "Although I saw that the disaster in my family was coming and tried my best to protect my family, I was not sure, so I told Miss Hu that if I unfortunately die, I would ask her to collect the body for me. If I could survive, I would owe her a favor. If I need it in the future, I will do my best to help her!"

When Zhu Yuning heard that the content of the agreement was not what he thought, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still said unforgivable: "You are willing to entrust life and death to others. No wonder they miss you!"

"As far as you are concerned, you are not jealous, are you?" Li Jie suddenly said to Yijun. After confessing, he breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

"I am a princess, how could I eat the jealousy of an unknown little woman?" Zhu Yuning proudly raised her head and refused to admit it. In fact, only she knew that when she heard that Li Jie had an agreement with other women, she did feel a jealousy in her heart.

"Wait a minute, you seem to be the princess now, right?" Li Jie did not forget to demolish Zhu Yuning's platform. Last time she rashly left the palace to save Li Jie's family, and she had been demoted to the princess by Lao Zhu.

"Hasn't you made great contributions recently? Grandpa Huang is ready to restore my princess title!" Zhu Yuning replied with a natural expression. She has figured it out now that Li Jie is her future husband, so his contribution is his own.

"No, I have made me a contribution. I have not received any rewards to me now. Why did I give you a reward first?" Li Jie was speechless. He had been back for almost a month, but the reward was still missing. As a result, Zhu Yuning took advantage of it first.

"It's probably too soon. Your contribution is too great, and Grandpa Emperor is also very troubled. It's definitely not good to give too little rewards. Grandpa Emperor is not willing to do it if he is too high. But according to my estimate, an earl is definitely indispensable!" Zhu Yuning smiled again.

This news was also what Zhu Yuning told Lao Zhu in person when he went to pay his respects to Lao Zhu the day before yesterday, and even asked her what reward she should give Li Jie. Of course, with Zhu Yuning's intelligence, she would definitely not express any opinions easily, because she knew that Grandpa, the emperor hated women the most, just politics.

"Earl? It's not bad, I just don't know what the title is?" Li Jie said happily when he heard this. Although there were many dukes and lords in the Ming Dynasty, most of them were founding heroes. Except for free titles like Liu Ying, most of them were shot with real swords and guns. It was very difficult for others to win titles, such as the famous Liu Bowen, who was only named Zhenyi Bo.

In addition, Li Jie also knew that Lao Zhu would definitely not give him too much reward, because Lao Zhu was going to leave him to Zhu Biao. If he gave too much reward now, Zhu Biao would probably have no reward in the future. This is not a good thing for emperors and ministers, so it is not easy for Lao Zhu to be named Li Jie as an earl.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm going back too. You go and do your business!" Zhu Yuning said as she turned around and left. It was against the rules of the palace when she met Li Jie. Although there was the acquiescence of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, the meeting lasted too long and it was also suspicious.

"Wait a minute, you asked me to question me. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, are you not saying anything?" Li Jie stepped forward to stop Zhu Yuning and said.

"What kind of incitement to the crime? I just feel curious, so I'll just ask you for a question!" Zhu Yuning said stubbornly.

"I don't admit it yet. I remember you jealous just now!" Li Jie pressed again.

"I'm not jealous when I said it!" Zhu Yuning still refused to admit it, but then suddenly asked, "What do you want to express?"

"Of course it can express your sincerity!" Li Jie smiled and took a step forward, lowered his head and looked at Zhu Yuning's little face and said, Zhu Yuning's height is indeed very tall among women, but it is still a little shorter than him. Fortunately, there are no high heels in this era, and Li Jie still has the opportunity to look down on her.

Zhu Yuning did not retreat, but stared at Li Jie's eyes and suddenly smiled, "Okay, then I'll show my sincerity!"

Zhu Yuning suddenly blinked when he said this, and then smiled slyly: "If you are beheaded again next time, I will definitely collect the body for you!"

"I..." Li Jie was so angry about it.

Zhu Yuning giggled and stepped back and said, "Now that you have the same agreement with me, there is no need to bother others!"

"Can you stop saying such a depressed thing?" Li Jie shouted speechlessly. He finally escaped his life last time, and he didn't want to experience it again.

"Okay, I'm not kidding anymore. I'm leaving. I'll come to you next time I have something to do!" Zhu Yuning looked at Li Jie's cripple expression but smiled happily. Then he waved his hand to him, then turned around and wanted to leave the library.

However, Zhu Yuning had just walked a few steps, but suddenly stopped again, as if he had thought of something, so he turned around and asked, "By the way, are you going to accompany your father to Chang'an?"

"Yes, but you will not leave until the flowers bloom next spring." Li Shitou replied, of course, the premise is that Zhu Biao can successfully lose weight, otherwise Li Jie will definitely find a way to delay time again.

"That's great. Before you leave, let Yunxi tell me that I have a letter to bring you there for me!" Zhu Yuning said again.

"Letter? To whom?" Li Jie was also a little surprised. Zhu Yuning usually had difficulty leaving the palace, so how could he write to people outside?

"My cousin, have you forgotten that my second uncle is in Chang'an?" Zhu Yuning replied.

When Li Jie heard this, he suddenly remembered that King Zhu Chuang of Qin was in Xi'an. Like Zhu Di, Zhu Chuang was also one of the nine frontier kings in the early Ming Dynasty. His troops were no worse than Zhu Di. However, although Zhu Chuang was also very capable of fighting, his reputation was not very good.

"No problem, I will tell you in advance!" Li Jie nodded immediately, just carrying a letter, and of course he would not refuse.

"Well, thank you in advance. Speaking of which, my cousin has been in a miserable life since she was a child. She has lived in the capital before. I have the best relationship with her. Three years ago, she returned to her second uncle and we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Zhu Yuning mentioned that her cousin actually showed a look of worry.

Li Jie was also a little surprised when he heard this. Zhu Chuang's daughter must also be the princess, but Zhu Yuning actually said that her life was in a miserable state. Moreover, when she looked at her expression when she spoke, she seemed to be worried about her cousin, which was a bit strange.

When talking about that cousin, Zhu Yuning's mood suddenly became depressed. Li Jie was embarrassed to ask, so he could only watch the other party leave. Then he also left the bookstore and saw Zhu Yunyu standing in front of the door thinking hard.

"What are you thinking?" Li Jie stepped forward and pushed Zhu Yunsheng and said.

"Sister didn't cause trouble for you?" Zhu Yunxiu woke up and then looked at Li Jie with an incredible look on his face and asked.

"I didn't do anything at all. Your sister is not an unreasonable woman. How could she cause trouble for me?" Li Jie curled her lips and said, "This brother-in-law is not very good, and she actually hopes that the couple will have a conflict."

"No, when did the eldest sister's temper become so good?" Zhu Yunxiu said with a look of incomprehension. He thought that the eldest sister would have a fight after seeing Li Jie, but he didn't expect that both of them were so calm. He eavesdropped outside for a long time but couldn't see the expected scene.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. Your sister mentioned her cousin in Chang'an just now. Do you know her?" Li Jie asked Zhu Yunxi curiously. Zhu Yuning's strange performance just now made him a little curious about the princess.
