He knew very well that his throat was severely clogged.
But he couldn't show it, so he could only carry on as usual.
Yesterday, when he returned home from the Yamen, Liu Xun was lying quietly on the bed. Liu Jing was surprised by his honesty. He didn't know about the inkstone until he heard from Manager Tao.
An inkstone is a very appropriate gift.
From a child in enlightenment to a gray-haired old man, no matter male or female, as long as they can read and write, it would not be wrong to give them an inkstone.
But the gift was a bit shabby.
Manager Tao himself also reflected: "I was in such a hurry at that time, and the young master was urging me so hard that the younger one ran to the Duke's Mansion for fear of delaying things, without paying attention to anyone else. After he came back, he thought about whether he should change his mind.
A more delicate box, wrapped in a layer of red cloth."
Liu Jing frowned when he heard this: "Xun'er has no experience and can't remember these basic etiquette. You are an old man, how can you forget it?"
This is the rule of dealing with favors.
No matter what thoughts he has about Xu Jian, he should cover them up beautifully.
All the things have been given away, how can we be less beautiful?
Who doesn’t like good-looking things?
When looking at an object, look at the box first, and when looking at a person, look at the facial features first. This is the same.
Of course, given the relationship between Xu Jian and their father and son, Xu Jian would not take a second look even if Xun'er gave her a gold or silver box.
But who asked Eunuch Cao to be present when it was delivered?
What a fine person Eunuch Cao is, how could he not have any ideas when looking at such an ordinary box?
When he returns to the imperial court, he may not report this trivial matter to the Holy Emperor, but if something happens in the future and the old matter is brought up again, the trivial matter may turn into a major matter.
Liu Jing has seen many such situations in official circles.
Seeing Liu Xun's languid look, Liu Jing didn't go in and muttered anything more, fearing that the more he thought about it, the more counterproductive it would be, so he just went to the backyard.
Xu Miao is naturally happy.
Such is her character.
The title of princess seen by others, the empress dowager's sweetheart, ranked last for her.
"I heard that she has a very good temperament. Although she was pampered when she was growing up, she doesn't have a pampered temper at all."
"She is a good-looking person. I remember that I met her once in a shop last year. I asked my grandmother at that time, 'Which girl is so lovable?' They told me that it was Ning'an County.
Lord."
"She looks good and has a good personality. Ah Jian will definitely like a girl like this."
"It's a good thing that Jian will have someone to take care of her in the future."
"I spent the whole afternoon choosing and ordering these gifts. I want to take them to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow. I will take care of the details for me."
Liu Xun finalized it for her and asked her to give it a decent delivery, but he also suspected that she might not listen.
After all, in Xu Miao's opinion, she was just carrying some gifts back to her parents' home, so what kind of ostentation was needed?
Because Liu Xun was unhappy and Xu Miao had her own ideas on these matters, Liu Jing thought of the ups and downs of the whole day and couldn't sleep well all night.
When I woke up early in the morning, I looked in the mirror and straightened my appearance. The blue color was even scarier now than when he was pretending.
He had no choice but to use Xu Miao's face powder to cover it up.
Thanks to his fair appearance, applying some powder wouldn't be too out of the ordinary.
If it were as dark as An Yibo...
Liu Jing thought of this, raised his eyelids to look at An Yibo, and then looked away.
Out of sight, out of sight.
Only by lowering your head when the wind is against you and being unassuming can you go further.
If he gets involved now, he will only be asking for trouble.
After the morning court, Xu Jian went to the imperial study to express his gratitude.
Your Majesty changed out of his court clothes and was in high spirits.
Yesterday, after Eunuch Yu returned to the palace, he also came to report to him how Uncle Chengyi had received the order, and what Eunuch Cao had said about his thoughts at the Duke's Mansion, which made Long Xin very happy.
Is the Duke’s Mansion deserted?
Don’t be afraid!
Uncle Chengyi's Mansion is so lively. If a girl raised in a family with many children and many blessings marries into the Duke's Mansion, won't she bring her popularity with her?
As a saint, he is very particular about this finger wedding and this hand balance, which is very outstanding!
I feel better and sleep better.
Your Majesty, everyone is particularly pleasing to your eyes today.
After Xu Jian saluted and thanked him, he added: "I will go to Cining Palace with you later and let Ning'an kowtow to me."
Just as we were talking, Li Shao came.
When Li Shao saw Xu Jian there, he opened his mouth and asked the emperor: "You proposed a marriage for him, why didn't you propose one for me too?"
Xu Jian glanced at Li Shao.
It can be heard that Li Shao's words came out of his mouth without any thought or care. He just said it casually without any unnecessary emotions.
The Holy One also understood clearly and said in a loud voice: "You are talking nonsense again!"
Xu Jian is a courtier, so marriage affairs are easy to handle.
Shao'er is the crown prince, and the princess will be the mother-in-law of the world. How can she decide casually?
Even if you want to refer to Liangdi Liangyuan, you have to consider many influences.
Outside, the servant reported that the princess had arrived at Cining Palace.
The Holy Spirit stood up and left the imperial study.
On the other side, Lin Yunyan walked into the Nuan Pavilion with a smile.
The Empress Dowager was sitting back, and when she saw her coming, she couldn't help but laugh: "They are all talking about you."
Lin Yunyan stepped forward and saw that Grandma Wang was only smiling but not moving, so she said: "You have read me here, but why didn't you put a soft cushion? Your Majesty, do you want me to kneel on the floor tiles today?"
"Who would be willing to do that?" The Empress Dowager smiled and pulled her to sit down, "I'll salute Xu Jian when she comes. If you don't kowtow now, I'll kowtow again later."
The chariot arrived very quickly.
Lin Yunyan stood up and went outside to meet the driver, and was quite surprised to see Li Shao following him.
After the Holy One sat down on the other side of the Empress Dowager, the maids quickly set up two soft cushions.
Xu Jian took a step forward and turned her head to look at Lin Yunyan.
When their eyes met, Lin Yunyan pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a slight dimple on the side of her face.
Xu Jian withdrew his gaze, bent his left leg first, then his right leg, and knelt down on the soft cushion.
Lin Yunyan didn't waste any time, she knelt down obediently, bent over and saluted.
Speaking of which, she rarely saw Xu Jian kneeling.
In the past, my legs were disabled and I couldn't kneel down. I was usually exempted from the courtesy, and I had to kneel down only when I "confessed my sins".
She tried hard to support her, but Xu Jian put all his weight on the arm supporting the ground and worked extremely hard to stabilize his body.
Kneeling so "relaxedly" seemed like this was the first time she had seen him.
But despite this, Lin Yunyan could also see that Xu Jian was not comfortable kneeling.
His body looks straight, but the weight is all on the left side, and his right leg is afraid of strain.
It’s still too cold and it will hurt you.
Salute early, stand up early, and feel more comfortable earlier.
The Holy Emperor and the Empress Dowager received the great ceremony.
According to the rules, the two of them must give instructions and explain a few words.
Just when the Holy Master was about to speak, he saw Lin Yunyan's body tilted and she fell down instead of kneeling.
The Empress Dowager could not see her little cleverness, smiled and gave her a scolding look, and said: "Okay, get up."
The Holy Emperor also reacted, and said without even laughing or crying: "Okay! Peace of mind, my mother should be a good person, and I should not be a bad person, let's all stand up and speak."
