Chapter 1978 The Regent Princess is about to faint again

Shi Li was brought into Xie's house by the steward.

Since Gu Jinning hadn't returned, no one could go to the palace to look for her. Shi Li couldn't go back like this either. After all, it was an important matter, so she stayed in Xie's house and waited.

The steward respectfully brought her to the front hall, ordered people to serve tea and water, and asked the kitchen to prepare fruits quickly.

Although they were only entertaining one person, the ceremony was even grander than if the young emperor had come in person.

In the end, Shi Li felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, after she waited for about an incense stick of time, Gu Jinning came back.

But he did not come back alone, he brought a little boy with him.

It was none other than the young emperor who was leaving the palace in casual clothes.

After returning to Xie's house, Gu Jinning's eyes flickered when he heard that Shi Li had come in person.

Instead, the young emperor next to him couldn't help but laugh, raised his head and said: "Teacher, it seems that I shouldn't have followed you here today."

"It's okay." Gu Jinning was not worried about Shi Li and just smiled slightly.

The two walked into the front hall and saw Shi Li standing up.

The young emperor deliberately did not reveal his identity and stood quietly beside Gu Jinning, wanting to see how Shi Li would react.

It was also the first time he saw Gu Jinning having a private relationship with a woman.

After all, it was not like he had not seen all kinds of noble ladies from aristocratic families express their admiration for him in a tactful way, but without exception, they received no response.

So I am very curious about how Shi Li has become a special one now.

When Shi Li saw this familiar-looking little boy, her brain was a beat slow to react, but so many of these "think tanks" were not pushovers.

[The little boy’s identity is not simple! 】

[99% of them are young emperors, anchors should be careful~]

[Who else could be following Gu Jinning at this time but the young emperor? Is he his illegitimate son? ]

Swallowing the words on the tip of her tongue, Shi Li pretended not to know the identity of the young emperor and looked at her in surprise, "It's you, so you are Mr. Xie's family member."

The young emperor also remembered that he had met Shi Li once before, and his impression of her immediately became much better. And because of Gu Jinning, he smiled at her generously.

"Yes, Miss Shi has a good memory."

Shi Li answered with a smile, then looked at Gu Jinning and thought of an excuse in a flash, "I came to thank you for the pearl hairpin you gave me. I will definitely wear it at my coming-of-age ceremony next month."

This is a very common and reasonable reason, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The young emperor had no doubts and felt that this was what women should say.

But when Gu Jinning looked at Shi Li, he knew that it was impossible for her to come in person for such a small matter, and it would be difficult to talk because the young emperor was present.

"You're welcome." He deliberately acted very distant, as if it was not appropriate to get close to Shi Li because there were outsiders present.

The young emperor had had enough of the fun and had a conscience, so he didn't continue to get in the way.

"Thank you, sir. I'm going to the study to write first. I won't disturb you anymore." He made an excuse for himself and left tactfully.

The steward was also very smart and followed him, ready to serve him at all times.

When the footsteps faded away and Shi Li was sure that no one could hear or see them, he took out a jade token half the size of his palm from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Jinning.

"This is..." Gu Jinning didn't understand what it meant, but still reached out to take it.

Shi Li looked around anxiously again, and explained in a low voice: "Before, I thought the weather was bad everywhere, so I stockpiled a lot of food at a low price. It just so happens that I can lend it to you now to help you out."

Gu Jinning, who was always calm and experienced, couldn't help but exert a little force while holding the jade token, "You mean..."

"I originally wanted to slowly release the grain at a fair price, and then let people from all over the country set up porridge stalls, but now it's all good, and I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Shi Li deliberately spoke in a light-hearted manner, but everyone knew that if the grain she was talking about was converted into silver, it would not be a small amount.

This was something she could do within her ability, and it also happened to help Gu Jinning, so it was the best of both worlds.

Gu Jinning looked at her.

There was a moment when I wanted to reach out and hug her, but I couldn't be too abrupt.

I can only keep my frivolous thoughts in my heart.

That day will come sooner or later.
