Chapter 1979 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
Gu Jinning held the jade token that Shi Li gave her.
I never thought that one day she would be the one to help me out in a difficult situation.
He was used to bearing everything by himself, but one day someone would stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Shi Li didn't know that his thoughts were so complicated, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
In her opinion, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
She only had a little spare money and some stored food, and if she rashly went to do good deeds, she would easily be targeted and envied.
Gu Jinning had just helped her and Shi Xuan so much, and it was great that she could also help him with this matter.
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first." Shi Li felt relieved and was ready to leave.
However, Gu Jinning held her back.
The slender hand like a bamboo grasped her wrist neither lightly nor heavily.
Lightly restrain her, but not so much that she feels uncomfortable.
The touch on her wrist made Shi Li's face slightly hot.
I had never noticed before, but Gu Jinning was very tall. Shi Li raised her head to just reach his chin, and her surprised expression was very close.
For a moment, neither of them responded.
[For some people, kissing and rolling around is boring, but watching the anchor and Aning holding hands makes me blush and my heart beat fast~]
[Ahhh! I love watching pure love! Please continue to act for me! I have money!]
【It’s so good, I love watching it, I’ll watch it in circles! 】
The servant who delivered snacks walked to the door, and the sound of footsteps finally made the two of them react.
Gu Jinning just gave the servant a cold look, and he immediately retreated and disappeared.
It was eerily quiet all around.
Shi Li clearly didn't do anything, but she felt inexplicably guilty about this atmosphere. She looked left and right, but didn't even look at Gu Jinning.
Gu Jinning certainly wasn't thinking of holding her hand.
"Lili, you'll be 15 next month. I'll go and propose to you myself, okay?" He said it frankly, even with a hint of confidence in his voice, but he didn't even expect the "okay" that came out of his tongue at the end.
Shi Li’s brain crashed again.
I really didn't expect that the marriage agreement between the two families, which was treated as a joke at the beginning, was brought up again after so many things happened, and even with the elders of both families present.
I was totally unprepared and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
This hesitation made Gu Jinning frown slightly, but in just a moment, he switched from offense to defense.
"Lili, what I mean is that I don't want you to encounter something like Zhao Huai again in the future. You saved me and helped me."
His determination to win was distorted by him into an act of gratitude.
But Shi Li could accept this without any burden. If she had Gu Jinning's legitimate protection, both she and Shi Xuan would be free from worries.
And since it was Gu Jinning who proposed it, he naturally had his considerations, and Shi Li was not worried that he would be embarrassed by this matter.
So he nodded quickly, "Okay."
In this era, it is not uncommon for girls who reach marriage age to get engaged immediately, but they are rare and extremely rare.
The plan was successful, but Gu Jinning did not immediately reveal a smug expression. Instead, he completely suppressed the corners of his mouth and was as serious as before.
"Okay, I'll send someone to take you back." He stood with his hands behind his back and calmly watched Shi Li leave.
Only after he was sure that she would not look back after getting on the carriage did he reveal the slightest smile, which spread from the corners of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes.
Then he remembered that he had important things to do and the young emperor was still waiting for him in the study. His smile disappeared in an instant and he continued to focus on these things.
When he arrived at the study, the young emperor was sitting on a chair and reading a book. He stood up immediately after seeing him.
"Teacher, you're back so soon?" He thought that Gu Jinning would be delayed for a long time.
Gu Jinning nodded, "Your Majesty, I have already found a solution for disaster relief in various places."
The young emperor was stunned. He couldn't believe that such a difficult problem that had lasted for so long was solved in just a short time.
Afterwards, when the young emperor heard Gu Jinning talking about what Shi Li had given him, he understood.
As expected of his teacher, he can make use of the people around him just right and without leaving any trace.
Otherwise, why do they say that the Regent doesn't keep idle people around him?
Gu Jinning looked at the young emperor and knew that he had misunderstood.
But after thinking about it, he did not explain deliberately, but continued to follow the young emperor's misunderstanding: "If there are shops in various places taking the lead and letting officials praise them lavishly, there will be endless imitations."
In fact, even if the disasters in various places are real, they are far from that serious. It's just that there are always people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Once a store takes the lead in providing porridge at a reasonable price, those who hoard goods will lose their patience.
"Also, regarding this matter, His Majesty must issue an edict to commend Li... Shi Li." Gu Jinning would never let his people suffer, not to mention that the person who was bleeding this time was Shi Li.
The young emperor continued to misunderstand, "I understand."
He thought that Gu Jinning was using small favors to further tie Shi Li to his side so that he could control her more easily in the future.
Gu Jinning did not explain much to him. He just wanted to wait until the day of the imperial edict before mentioning Shi Li's parents to the young emperor.
Without asking or saying, he knew that the grace that Shi Li wanted most was to forgive her parents and reunite the family.
