He's already overseeing several mines for him, and now he wants him to be in charge of receiving envoys?
Does Your Majesty perhaps think he possesses superhuman abilities like having three heads and six arms?
Otherwise, how could he possibly do so many things?
Besides, if he were really that busy, how could he possibly find the time to talk about feelings with Li and Li Zhiwei?
How can I make my presence known to Li Tianyou?
Xu Heming refused without even thinking.
Zhu Jingchen didn't expect Xu Heming to reject him.
His hand happened to turn to the memorial from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau regarding choosing a wedding date for Xu Heming.
Zhu Jingchen looked at Xu Heming with a half-smile, thinking to himself, "If you do a good job for me, I'll pick an earlier date for you."
Xu Heming looked at Zhu Jingchen's smile and felt that there was something malicious about it.
“If Prince An were to intervene, that would be acceptable.” Grand Tutor Cheng glanced at Xu Heming, thinking that Xu Heming had been on the battlefield and had even defeated General Luo Zhan of Qinling Kingdom.
It can be said that there is another reason why the Qinling Kingdom dares not invade Lanno: Xu Heming.
The people of Qinling Kingdom also fear Xu Heming.
However, neither Grand Tutor Wei nor Grand Preceptor Cheng knew that the reason Xu Heming and the Emperor wanted to confront the Qinling Kingdom head-on was because they now had sufficient resources.
"Your Majesty, I believe that if we can get the help of Prince An, the envoys from Qinling Kingdom will certainly not dare to be too arrogant," Ye Qingyan quickly said.
“Prince An, you see, everyone thinks that you should be the one to handle this matter,” Zhu Jingchen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I really—" Xu Heming still wanted to refuse.
"Minister Xu, you only need to appear during the negotiations between the two countries. The Ministry of Rites and the Court of State Ceremonial will handle the rest. You don't need to worry about it," Zhu Jingchen said to Xu Heming with an unquestionable gaze.
Xu Heming had no choice; he couldn't refuse this matter.
"Your humble servant obeys the decree!" Xu Heming could only reluctantly take on the task.
But a pang of unease lingered in his heart. If he was still so busy, when would he ever be able to marry his wife?
After receiving Li Zhiwei's reply, Wenxiu prepared a gift for each member of the Li family.
"Miss, is it alright if you send this incense to Madam Li?" Although the maid Qiuyue knew that her young mistress was quite skilled, she wondered if sending incense would make Madam Li feel that the gift was too insignificant if she didn't know about it.
"I heard that Madam Li's health isn't very good. This incense was specially prepared by me according to Madam Li's symptoms." Wenxiu was just stating the facts, but what she was thinking was that if the Li family thought her gift was too small, she felt that there was no need for the two families to have any further contact.
However, she did not explain these things to Qiuyue.
After all, these were just her own ideas.
