Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

Chapter 1995 The Regent Princess is about to faint again

It is no exaggeration to say that Shi Li's coming-of-age ceremony was the focus of everyone's attention.

The young emperor, who was now behaving timidly, specially met with Gu Jinning in the study after court the day before and took the initiative to express his willingness to come to the house in person to watch the ceremony.

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so there is no need to worry so much."

Gu Jinning smiled indifferently and was unmoved. After the last time, he and the young emperor had completely severed their former teacher-student relationship.

Seeing that the young emperor was unwilling to give up and still wanted to repair the relationship, Gu Jinning said, "She is weak, and if Your Majesty goes there, it will be very laborious."

At this point, if the young emperor went there again, it would not be a favor but an enemy.

His expression froze for a moment, then he nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll ask someone to deliver the gift tomorrow, and I won't bother you anymore."

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."

After dealing with the occasional words, Gu Jinning left the young emperor's study. In the past, he had been thinking about truly assisting the young emperor to achieve a peaceful and prosperous era.

But the young emperor's magnanimity made Gu Jinning realize that he could only be a puppet, otherwise he would be killed sooner or later.

The other nobles in the capital also wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with the future regent princess. But since even the young emperor was not allowed to enter, it was even less likely that others would have this opportunity.

The Shi family said frankly that Shi Li was not in good health and should not be exposed to the wind, so they closed the door and refused to see visitors. Although people could not come to watch the ceremony, they had already presented their gifts.

From large rare coral bonsai to small exquisite necklaces, there are all kinds of dazzling items.

The servants brought the things to Shili's room like a stream and asked her to take a look.

Shi Li couldn't hide her shock when she saw the gifts piled up like a mountain. She picked up a box and opened it. Inside was a whole set of jade hairpins and rings. They were crystal clear, impeccable glass quality and priceless.

Carefully picking up a green hairpin and playing with it, Shi Li couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man beside her.

"Isn't it considered a bribe if I accept these gifts?"

Gu Jinning chuckled. Seeing that she really liked the jade hairpin, he took it and put it on her head, then calmly replied, "Of course it doesn't count."

With his words, Shi Li felt relieved. She shook her head gently, pulled Gu Jinning's sleeve like a spoiled child and asked him, "Does it look good?"

"It doesn't look good." Gu Jinning teased her deliberately, but in fact, his eyes were full of love that was about to overflow like spring water.

Shi Li: ...

Not getting the answer she wanted, her smile fell and she reached out to pull out the hairpin.

Gu Jinning quickly stopped him, "I was just teasing you."

"Hmph!" Shi Li rolled her eyes at him, then lowered her hands and said sourly, "I'm not pretty, so why don't you go find someone who's pretty? Is Miss Yu pretty? Or is Princess Le Yi, who just returned to the capital, pretty?"

Jealousy came unexpectedly, and Gu Jinning didn't expect that Shi Li would hear about Miss Yu. Although he didn't do anything, it seemed that he still had to explain.

As for Princess Le Yi, Gu Jinning had never met her alone, and the only time they met was in front of the young emperor. Later, when he heard that Princess Le Yi had indeed secretly inquired about him and knew that he already had a fiancée, he stopped asking.

So, how did Shi Li know this without leaving the house?

For the first time, Gu Jinning looked a little embarrassed.

[I am dying of laughter~~~]

[The anchor doesn't go out, but he has a good sister who loves to eat melons~]

[I have always suspected that the good sister chose the young man of the Sun family in the end because he was better looking, hehe! ]

At this moment, Shi Xuan, who was keen on Beijing gossip and preferred to share it with her sister, was sitting in a teahouse drinking tea with the handsome young man from the Sun family.

Gu Jinning didn't know that the melon he shared with his sister had made him sweat profusely.

It is also another way of hiding one's achievements and fame.

Of course, Shi Li didn't really want to be jealous.

Just like Gu Jinning said herself, he teased her, so why couldn't she tease him in return?

So no matter how Gu Jinning explained, she just sat beside him with a sullen face and said nothing, leaving Gu Jinning helpless.

At last, I couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing.

Gu Jinning: ...

He was sweating profusely, but when Shi Li smiled, he finally felt relieved. He let out a long sigh and helplessly poured her a cup of warm tea.

Then he drummed his fingers on the edge of the table and scolded her for being "naughty."

【Woohoo, he wouldn't even hit her on the head! 】

[It’s so cute~~~]

[The regent is a bit of a coward in front of outsiders, but he is a coward in the inside, hahaha! ]
