Chapter 553: Grandfather is back
Chapter 553 Grandfather is back
Li Ji looked at the mother and daughter who were kneeling there, one expression was shocked, the other expressionless, but obviously they couldn’t find the slightest joy—
Look, he said...
Li Ji sighed complicatedly in his heart, with a smile on his face, reminding: "Miss Xu, hurry up and thank you."
In 's sight, the girl did not kowtow to thank her. Instead, she stood up and said calmly, "Gonggong Li, forgive me, I can't accept this imperial decree."
"..." Li Ji smiled and stopped.
He was surprised that this girl Xu would most likely dislike his majesty, and if she is not sensible, she might show one or two things, but she can only accept this emperor's grace if she is reluctant... She is a little girl who knows that the situation has been shaky recently, and her family is in a dire situation. If she is careless, she will be overwhelmed. How can she have the courage to resist the decree? !
Even if I didn’t even think about it, I opened my mouth and said I couldn’t answer it!
Thinking of the key to this matter, Li Ji laughed, his tone still gentle: "Miss Xu, this is the value and gift of your majesty to your mansion. You accepted this decree. From then on, the Xu family and your majesty have become a family..."
Xu Mingyi forcibly resisted the stomach surge.
Who can't think so much, want to be a family with something that is neither human nor ghost? This is about the point where Tianmu can't eat anything after hearing it.
What value, what gift—
To put it bluntly, I just stabbed their Xu family with a single knife and failed. I was afraid of backlash, so I hurried to give a sweet jujube I thought to appease one or two... This jujube is not rare for Xu family, not to mention the inside. The poison is hidden!
If she accepts this imperial decree and enters the palace, she will be a ready-made hostage!
In this matter, there is no room for negotiation and retreat, and no expediency to think about—what if it is really resisting the decree, stretching her head just to meet, but shrinking her head will only fall into a more passive situation, she wants to look at the dog. The emperor dared not punish her Xu family at this time!
If she dared, she would still admire him one or two, and finally she dared to do things honestly, instead of just hiding in the dark and playing tricks that are not on the stage!
"Miss Xu..." Seeing that the girl still didn't mean to waver, Li Jigan laughed and reminded again.
The girl finally spoke, but her voice was extremely faint: "Marriage matters, the orders of parents, how can I make the decision privately?"
Li Ji's eyes twitched slightly.
This is a gift, how can it be generalized to the ordinary marriage?
But I can only look at the Cui family—this madam should always be more important than a child, right?
Cui also got up with his daughter long ago. At this time, seeing Li Ji looking at him, his expression was rather embarrassing: "It's true that the parents' orders are true about marriage, but the child's marriage can only be done by the father. Come to call the shots..."
While she was talking, she looked at Li Ji with a bitter look of ‘you know, I’m just a stepmother, what can I say’, and suggested: "Otherwise, after my father comes back, you will come to discuss it again?"
Li Ji: …Can the decree come back another day? He is not the matchmaker who was asked to speak with him!
The old lady made it clear that she was pretending to be confused, and she would play Tai Chi with him!
"Madame of the world don't want to laugh, this is your majesty's personal decree, and there is no reason to return? Isn't this embarrassing our family?" Li Ji seemed to smile, with a hint of coolness in his tone: "Now the town's father If she is not in Beijing, what the wife of the world should do as the mistress of the family, she has a sense of measure in her mind, and if today’s matter is spread out, it will be harmful to your house..."
Cui Shi sneered in his heart.
If it really spreads out, maybe it is the emperor who is ashamed?
This **** doesn’t have to threaten to remind him here. If it’s a piece of torn paper, the emperor has come in person, but if you dare to hit her, you have to blast him out today!
Cui altogether put away the tactful color of the talent, and when he was about to open the door to see off the guests, he heard a stir behind him.
"The old lady is back, the old lady is back!"
A Jiading exclaimed in excitement and surprise.
Followed by the voices of people saluting.
Xu Mingyi's expression lifted, and he already turned around and looked out of the hall.
Outside the hall, an old man in soft armor strode forward accompanied by more than a dozen soldiers. His gray hair looked a little frizzy in the bright morning light, but his face remained majestic.
The two ancestors and grandchildren met, the old man's cold eyes were suddenly filled with kindness and smiles, and Xu Mingyi's eyes flushed immediately.
"Grandfather!"
She greeted her with brisk footsteps, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy.
The old man stepped up the stone steps, looked at the girl with red eyes and nose, glanced at the people in the hall, and said: "Don't be afraid, grandfather is back."
"Hmm!" Xu Mingyi smiled and nodded.
Even though she was not afraid at all, she wanted to cry just because she was too happy.
She followed the old man and returned to the hall.
"Father is back." Cui's blessed body saluted, and his heart was touched a lot. The old man looked a lot thinner, and he must order the kitchen to prepare more good dishes and meat later.
Zhen Guogong nodded to his daughter-in-law, then looked at Li Ji and others who saluted him.
Li Ji was full of surprises.
Why did the town’s prince come back so quickly? Yesterday, the heavy rain blocked the way, but it was nearly two days faster than the originally scheduled time!
And the other party is back at this time, in terms of this imperial decree, I don’t know whether it is good or bad...
Perceiving the old man’s gaze sweeping over the imperial decree in his arms, Li Ji inexplicably felt that he had the answer in his heart—he knew for the first time that the imperial decree could be so hot...
The two officials of the Ministry of Etiquette were even more shocked.
They were so ignorant of Lord Zhenguo’s return to Beijing from his illness, only when the emperor chose to issue this imperial decree in order to take the opportunity to gather the military power and power of the Xu family. At the moment, Lord Zhenguo came back suddenly, and his mood was so complicated and uneasy. No less than being ordered to steal something but being hit by the returning host...
"The old man is not at home, I don't know what important things the emperor has ordered, but I need to have Grandpa Li and the two adults come in person—" The gaze of the Lord Zhen Guo left from the imperial decree in Li Ji's arms, and fell to the elevated reward. Material.
Two officials of the Ministry of Etiquette felt that the matter was embarrassing, and did not raise their heads to speak.
Li Ji couldn't avoid it, and he had to put on a face of joy as much as possible: "Your Majesty is grateful to the Lord for his great achievements in the First World War of the Li Clan, and because of this, he became ill. You really worked hard and made a lot of achievements. Noble concubine, with the meaning of praise and respect... and the Guogong is now able to return to Beijing safely, this is truly a double happiness!"
Hearing this, Zhen Guogong even let out a laugh.
Grateful for his hard work?
癞 Toad **** wants to eat swan meat, but it is because of his hard work?
As long as an individual has not had a brain stroke in ten years, can he say such unthinkable things?
Thank you Lu Qinghan and May Huahuahua. You did not have enough food today, and are waiting for the book friends to give you a reward.
Thank you for your monthly pass.
