"The east wind blooms thousands of flowers at night. It blows down even more, and the stars are like rain..."

Zhu Yuning looked at the prosperity of the whole world and murmured Xin Qiji's poem "Qingyu Case". In the past, she could only feel the scene of the Shangyuan Festival from the poem, but many scenes could not be imagined at all. Until today, she witnessed the prosperity of the festival with her own eyes, which completed her fantasy about the Shangyuan Festival in her heart.

Li Jie held Zhu Yuning's little hand, but his heart was extremely peaceful. Since he traveled through time, he had been in struggle and calculation all the time, and his mind had never stopped for a moment. But now he felt a rare peace, as if the past troubles had gone far away from him.

By the second half of the night, Li Jie and the other two were finally tired of playing, so they found a restaurant for some midnight snack. When they finished their meal and came out, it was already dawn, and most of the tourists who had been playing on the street for a night had returned, and the entire capital suddenly became deserted.

So Li Jie and the other two arrived at Li Jie's house in a carriage again. Hu Jiang and Hu Yingyu had already come back. They were chatting together at this time. After learning that Li Jie and the others were back, the family of three also came out to greet him.

It was already dawn and Zhu Yuning was going back, so Hu Yingyu had to say goodbye to her parents with tears in her eyes. Originally, Hu Jiang and his wife had wanted to leave the capital long ago, so just to see their daughter again, so after today, Hu Jiang and his wife would return to their hometown to retire. It is estimated that the family of three would never have a day to reunite.

Finally, Li Jie and Hu Jiang and his wife bid farewell to Zhu Yuning and the other two, and then Hu Jiang and his wife began to pack up their things to prepare for leaving Beijing. Li Jie was not able to stop him anymore, so he had to help them prepare.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Hu Jiang and his wife said goodbye to Li Jie. Li Jie had to send them away from Beijing in person and prepared a lot of money for them. Hu Jiang and his wife did not refuse. After all, after their property was confiscated, they did not have much money.

When he finally bid farewell, Hu Jiang suddenly pulled Li Jie aside and whispered: "Nephew, I heard from Yingyu that you and the princess are about to get married?"

"Yes!" Li Jie hesitated for a moment before answering. He originally didn't want Hu Jiang to know about his marriage with the princess, after all, this matter was not very friendly to him.

"Yingyu is now the princess' maid, and she will definitely be married to her in the future. At that time, I will ask you to take care of her more!" Hu Jiang also held Li Jie's hand tightly at the end of the day.

"Even if my uncle doesn't say it, I won't let Yingyu be wronged!" Li Jie nodded immediately after hearing this.

"I'm not talking about this, but Yingyu, as a palace maid, may not be able to get married in this life. Now I don't ask for anything else, I just want you..." Hu Jiang said at the end and tried his best with his hands again, his eyes filled with tears. He had been very guilty of his experience at home. Not only did he lose his official position, but he also implicated his wife and daughter.

Li Jie immediately understood what Hu Jiang meant when he heard this, which made him nervous. He immediately wanted to refuse, but he opened his mouth but couldn't bear it. So he could only grit his teeth and said, "Uncle Hu, it's too early to say this now. Maybe there is a way to make Yingyu regain his freedom in the future, but don't worry, if she really can't get married for the rest of her life, then I will take care of her for the rest of her life!"

After hearing Li Jie's last promise, Hu Jiang finally felt relieved and patted Li Jie's shoulder with relief, and then got on the carriage with Mrs. Hu.

Li Jie felt sad when he looked at Hu Jiang's tall but thin back. When he first saw Hu Jiang, he felt that the other party was as strong as a bear, but now he was just a prison disaster. His tall and strong figure was left with only a bone-shaped body, and he couldn't recover even after resting for so long.

After seeing off Hu Jiang and his wife, Li Jie was about to go home, but suddenly received a summon from Lao Zhu, so he hurried to the palace to ask for a meeting. When he entered the warmer pavilion, he saw Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were there, and even Zhu Yunxiu stood aside.

"See Your Majesty!" Li Jie immediately saluted Lao Zhu.

"No need to be polite. The cement you presented last time is quite good. After solidification, it turns out to be as hard as a stone!" Lao Zhu said with a smile on his face. When he spoke, he pointed to the inkstone in front of him. The cement inside had solidified and was tightly combined with the inkstone and could not be pried off with a knife.

"My father summoned you to come today to discuss with you about the construction of the cement workshop?" Zhu Biao also smiled and said. He had learned from Zhu Yun's mouth that cement firing is not complicated, and the raw materials only require limestone and clay, which is extremely low. On the contrary, the fuel used for firing is higher, but it can be produced on a large scale.

"I wonder what Your Majesty has?" Li Jie immediately smiled when he heard this. Now it is time to use cement, so it is normal for Lao Zhu to rush to build a cement workshop.

"I want to build a cement workshop in Peiping. After all, the construction of the imperial city is about to begin. There will definitely be a great demand for cement materials. If you burn the cement in Jinling and transport it over, the freight alone will not be worth the cost." Lao Zhu replied immediately.

"Ah? Your Majesty, you don't want me to go to Peking to build a cement workshop?" Li Jie didn't react for a while. It was probably because he had just finished the festival and was not in a state.

"It's not that you are asked to go to Peking, but that you and Yun Yu teach the cement firing method to the people of the Ministry of Works. Then the Ministry of Works will send someone to Peking to build a workshop." Zhu Biao explained patiently at this time.

"So that's the case. There's no problem. I can do it anytime!" Li Jie immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. After all, he and Zhu Yuning were about to get married. If he went to Peking again, it would take a year for one trip just to go back and forth, and the wedding date would probably be postponed again.

"Very good, then I'll leave this matter to you and Yun Huang. People from the Ministry of Works will contact you in the past two days!" Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction at this time. In fact, he had already discussed it with the officials of the Ministry of Works, mainly to tell them about the cement. As a result, when the people from the Ministry of Works learned that there were such magical building materials, they were also shocked, and even expected to greatly speed up the construction in Peking.

"My grandson obeys the order!" Li Jie and Zhu Yunxiu immediately stood up to answer the order when they heard this, especially Zhu Yunxiu was very excited. Although he had been in charge of the workshop before, it was the appointment given to him by Zhu Biao, and this time it was the first time that Old Zhu assigned him a task.

"By the way, I have also asked the people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison to calculate the wedding date of Li Jie. They said that the tenth day of March is a good day, so the wedding day should be set on that day, but when will your parents return to Beijing?" Lao Zhu suddenly spoke to Li Jie again.

When Li Jie heard that the wedding date was confirmed, he almost jumped up happily. He suppressed his excitement and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, I have received a letter from my father before. They said that they would leave after the Spring Festival. I guess they would return to Beijing by the end of this month!"

Li Zhu and his wife gave birth to another younger brother for Li Jie. Because of this little guy, they have been staying in their hometown. However, because of Li Jie and Zhu Yuning's marriage, they must go back to the capital. After all, their son is going to get married, so their parents must not be absent. Speaking of which, Li Jie really misses them, and there are also Dier and Aunt Zhao. As for the newborn little guy, they probably only know how to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep.

"Very good. The Princess's Mansion has been prepared for you a long time. You can go and take a look when you have time. If you have any dissatisfaction, please make some changes!" Old Zhu nodded again when he heard this. His eldest granddaughter was finally getting married. He was also very satisfied with Li Jie, the grandson-in-law, so Old Zhu had nothing to regret.

When Li Jie heard this, he thanked him again. Then Lao Zhu also encouraged him a few words, and finally let them leave with Zhu Biao.

However, just as Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu left the warm room, Zhu Biao grabbed Li Jie and asked Zhu Yunyu to leave first. This made Li Jie ask a little strangely: "What else does your Highness have?"

Zhu Biao showed an anxious look at this time. After Zhu Yunxiu left, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Jie and said, "You look at this first!"
