Chapter 552

Li Ji looked at the mother and daughter kneeling there. One looked surprised and the other looked expressionless, but obviously he couldn't find any happiness——

Look, he said

Li Ji sighed complicatedly in his heart. He still smiled on his face and reminded him, "Miss Xu, take the order and thank you quickly."

In the sight, the girl did not kowtow to thank her, but directly stood up, looked calm and said, "forgive me, Grandpa Li, I can't take this decree."

"..." Li Ji smiled.

He expected that Miss Xu would probably dislike his majesty. If she was not sensible, she might show one or two, but if she was unwilling, she could only take over the imperial favor... After all, the Duke of the town has not arrived in Beijing yet. A little girl knows that the situation is unstable recently and the family is in a worrying situation. If she is careless, she will be doomed. So how can she have the courage to resist?!

And unexpectedly, I didn't want to, so I opened my mouth and said I couldn't answer!

Thinking of the key to this matter, Li Ji smiled and his tone was still gentle: "Miss Xu, this is the value and gift of your majesty to your house. You took this decree, and the Xu family and your majesty have become a family..."

Xu Mingyi resisted the tumbling in his stomach.

Who would be so reluctant to become a family with something that is neither human nor ghost? This is about the extent that Tianmu can't eat after listening to it.

What value, what gift——

To put it bluntly, he just stabbed the Xu family and failed to succeed. For fear of being eaten back, he hurried to appease one or two of his own sweet jujubes... This jujube is not rare, but there is poison in it!

If she takes this decree and enters the palace, she will be a ready-made hostage!

There is no room for discussion or retreat in this matter, and she has no right to think about appropriate measures - what if she really resists the purpose? Stretching her head is just a confrontation, but shrinking her head will only lead to a more passive situation. She wants to see if the dog emperor dares to punish her Xu family at this time!

If she dared, she would still admire him. At last, she dared to do something aboveboard, rather than just hiding in the dark and playing with those unspeakable bad habits and tricks again and again!

"Miss Xu..." seeing that the girl still didn't waver, Li Ji smiled and reminded again.

The girl finally opened her mouth, but her voice was very weak: "how can I make decisions privately about marriage and the orders of my parents?"

Li Ji's eyes twitched slightly.

This is a grant. How can it be generalized with ordinary marriage?

But I can only look at Cui Shi - should this aristocratic son's wife know more than a child?

Cui had already got up with her daughter. At this time, Li Ji looked at herself and looked very embarrassed. "It's true that the marriage is the life of parents, but the child's marriage can only be decided by the old man..."

While she was talking, she looked at Li Ji with bitter eyes that said, 'you know, I'm just a stepmother. Where can I say anything?' and suggested, "otherwise, when my father comes back, you'll come to the door to discuss it?"

Li Ji:... Can this thing come back another day? He's not a matchmaker invited to kiss!

The lady of the aristocratic son clearly pretended to be confused and played Tai Chi with him!

"Don't be ridiculous, madam son. It's your Majesty's personal will. How can you return? Isn't it difficult for our family?" Li Ji smiled, with a hint of coolness in her tone: "now that the Duke of town is not in Beijing, how should the lady son do as the head mother of the family? I think she has her own discretion. If today's matter is spread, it will be harmful to your house..."

Cui sneered in his heart.

If it's really spread, I'm afraid it's the emperor who will lose face?

The eunuch doesn't have to threaten and remind here. Let alone a piece of broken paper, the emperor came in person. If he dares to make her family Zhaozhao's idea, he must be kicked out today!

Cui simply put away his euphemism. His eyebrows and eyes were cold. When he was about to see off the guests, he heard a stir behind him.

"The old man is back, the old man is back!"

A servant shouted excitedly and pleasantly.

Then came the sound of people saluting.

Xu Mingyi looked so excited that he turned and looked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, the old man in soft armor marched with more than a dozen soldiers. His white bun looked a little irritable in the bright morning light, but his face was still dignified.

The grandparents and grandchildren met with four eyes. The old man's eyes were filled with kindness and smile, and Xu Mingyi immediately turned red.

"Grandpa!"

She walked briskly and hurried out, with joy at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

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, grandpa is back."

"Hmm!" Xu Mingyi smiled and nodded heavily.

Even though she was not afraid at all, she wanted to cry just because she was too happy.

She followed the old man back to the hall.

"Father is back." Cui Shifu saluted and touched a lot in his heart. The old man looks much thinner. He must order the kitchen to prepare more good dishes and meat later.

The Duke of the town nodded to his daughter-in-law and looked at Li Ji and others who saluted him.

Li Ji was full of surprise.

Why did the Duke of town come back so soon? Yesterday's heavy rain blocked the way, but it was nearly two days faster than the original time!

When the other party comes back at this time, I don't know whether it's good or bad in terms of this edict

Aware that the old man's eyes swept over the imperial edict in his arms, Li Ji felt that he had an answer in his heart - for the first time, he knew that the imperial edict could be so hot

The two etiquette officials were even more shocked.

They were completely unaware of the fact that the Duke of town had "recovered" and returned to Beijing. Only when the emperor chose this edict, he took the opportunity to win over the military power and power of the Xu family. At present, it can be seen that the Duke of town suddenly came back, and his mood was as complex and uneasy as being ordered to steal other people's things, but he was hit by the owner's home

"I'm not at home. I don't know what the emperor has ordered, but I need Duke Li and two adults to come in person -" the Duke of town's eyes left the imperial edict in Li Jihuai and fell on the reward.

The two officials of the Ministry of rites felt ashamed of the matter and did not raise their heads.

Li Ji couldn't avoid it, and had to try his best to look happy: "Your Majesty feels that the Duke of the kingdom made great contributions to the neutrality of the Li Nationality in the first World War, and because of his illness, he really worked hard and made great achievements. Therefore, he specially ordered to grant the girl of your house as the imperial concubine to express his praise and respect... And now the Duke of the Kingdom has to return to Beijing safely, so it's really a double happiness!"

Hearing this, the Duke of the town even laughed.

Thank him for his hard work?

Toad's mother wants to eat swan meat, but it depends on his hard work and high achievements?

But can anyone say such incredible things without a stroke for ten years?
