Dong Ruyi did not return for a day and a night, and everyone in the Hou Mansion was in a hurry. If it weren't for Fuyi, Lilac and others following, Xianglan would have sent everyone out of the city to find it.

Xianglan listened to Lilac talk about yesterday's events, and her face turned pale with fright.

She looked at Dong Ruyi sitting in the bathtub, and couldn't help but chatter, "Why is Miss so big-hearted, what if she encounters danger?"

Dong Ruyi waved away Lilac, Hanxiang and others, "Xianglan, if it weren't for the red yesterday, I would be in big trouble." ”

Xianglan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly whispered, "What does Miss mean?"

Dong Ruyi didn't hide it, and directly said that Xuanyuan Yi was the king of the Tu domain.

Xianglan's face became even more ugly, "The Royal Horse Village has raised 60,000 war horses, if the war horses are gone, then the young lady will marry Tubo far away?"

Dong Ruyi nodded yes.

Xianglan said: "Why don't you directly destroy the war horse of our dynasty, so that he can attack the Great Zhou soon?"

Dong Ruyi was silent, "He doesn't want to attack Da Zhou, he just wants to marry me." But I don't want to have anything to do with him. ”

Xianglan didn't understand it completely. "But if the war horse is destroyed, the emperor will be forced to be helpless, and use the young lady and kiss?"

"The time is not right, I still have two years to go, if he destroys Da Zhou's war horse at this moment, then I will definitely leave Da Zhou with my family. He should be aware of my power at sea. ”

After Dong Ruyi finished speaking, he closed his eyes, what is the reason for their evil fate.

***

Zhang Yi has been gone for seven days, and he was injured when he returned.

"The ministers did not do well, and the horse village lost more than 10,000 war horses. Zhang Yi's voice was hoarse, obviously he wasn't having a good time these days.

The emperor exclaimed: "What did you say?"

Zhang Yi explained the whole thing in detail.

Due to the large number of horses, after consulting with Manager Zhao, he temporarily decided to transfer the horses to different places in batches.

Although he blocked the communication between the Royal Horse Farm and the outside world, he ignored the spies on the horse farm.

And there are still a lot of spies in Zhuangzi, there are as many as six people in total.

When they saw that the news could not be spread, they simply did not stop doing anything, and burned the remaining horses while the first batch of horses had left.

Fortunately, in order to grasp the meticulous work, the first batch of people accompanying him was only a small number of people.

Although they did not let go of a single fine work, they also lost 10,000 horses.

The emperor said: "This matter is not thought of by me, Zhang Tong took the lead to heal his wounds, and let Deputy Commander Hu continue to investigate the matter, this time I will thoroughly investigate all the horse farms in Da Zhou." ”

Three days later, the emperor returned to Beijing with the four princes without anyone knowing.

The return of the emperor made all the civil and military officials feel that the storm was coming.

The emperor's attitude was extremely tough, he not only directly rejected the peace of the Tubo State, but also had the envoys of the Tubo State beaten out.

The envoys of the Tibetan State returned to Tibet with the head of the horse farm.

Xuanyuan Yi didn't blame, nor did he express his position, he sent a few secret letters in a row, and then he stopped moving.

***

Dong Ruyi has been living very comfortably these days, just like she thought, after she talked to Dong Shijie, Dong Shijie didn't mention marrying her again.

When he returned to Dong's house, he was even more motivated, and he decided to participate in the palace examination for the following year with the candidates in the autumn of the next year.

Dong Ruyi thought for a while, "Shijie is eleven years after that, and it's time to show his face." ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulates that those who are not weak in the crown and have obtained the meritorious name of Jinshi do not need to take the palace examination immediately.

Such a stipulation is for fear that the little jinshi will be timid and miss a good future.

Dong Ruyi said: "I don't know where the top three ancestors are from this year?"

Xianglan said: "Miss didn't pay so much attention to the court officials in her early years, why did Miss pay so much attention to the candidates this year?"

Dong Ruyi said: "It's not that I want to pay attention, it's really unstable!"

Xianglan's family is strict, but she doesn't understand this matter in the court.

Xianglan said: "Miss, the ink is polished." ”

Dong Ruyi picked up the pen and wrote.

Xianglan said: "Since the envoy of the Tubo Kingdom was driven away by His Majesty, Miss's heart has become more and more chaotic. ”

Dong Ruyi's pen paused, "Am I so obvious?"

Xianglan said with a smile: "Others can't see it, but the slave maid is not an outsider, the slave maid is thinking about the young lady all day long, and the slave and maid naturally know the changes in the young lady." ”

Lilac ran in in a panic, "Miss, Miss has made a list." ”

Xianglan said: "Such an adult, how can he still be so unruly." ”

Seeing that Xianglan was there, Lilac hurriedly bowed her head and said, "The slave is wrong." ”

Dong Ruyi said as he wrote: "Say, what made you so panicked." ”

Lilac smiled: "The slave is surprised, not panicked." Guess who is the second in the first class this year?"

Dong Ruyi put down the pen in his hand, "Your young lady is not a fairy, how can you guess this?"

Ding Xiang smiled: "It's Xue Ren." ”

Dong Ruyi muttered, "Xue Ren? Which Xue ...... Are you talking about Liao's mother's son, Xue Ren?"

Dong Ruyi's voice was shocked, but there was no joy. "I see, go ahead. ”

Lilac hurriedly put away her smile and retreated in confusion.

Xianglan smiled: "It's a good thing that Xue Gongzi passed the exam, Miss shouldn't be annoyed that he didn't inform us, right?"

Dong Ruyi said: "What do you think?"

"Naturally, the young lady will not be unhappy because of such a trivial matter. Xianglan said: "It is estimated that Liao's mother doesn't know yet, let's not tell her, and wait for Xue Gongzi to win the champion, and then talk to her." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "I'm afraid it's too late." Xianglan, call Mother Xue over. ”

Xianglan said, "Miss, but what's wrong?"

"Xianglan, I remember that there is a mansion in Willow Hutong that is under the name of Qilin Pavilion?" Dong Ruyi did not reply, but continued: "Looking for a Zhuangzi who is far away, and two shops, don't want Beijing, Liao's mother is from Jiangnan, so let's find Jiangnan." ”

Xianglan didn't ask much, turned around and went out.

Liao's mother records her newly developed secret recipe for dim sum.

She heard Dong Ruyi call her, and thought there was something wrong with the new pastry.

Lilac's voice came, "Miss, Mother Liao is here." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "Please let her in." ”

Liao's mother walked in, Dong Ruyi got up and said, "Mom, please take a seat." ”

Liao's mother hurriedly said: "Why did the young lady get up, I have something to tell the slave maid." ”

Dong Ruyi said: "Let's sit down and talk!"

Liao's mother looked at Dong Ruyi, and her heart suddenly panicked.

Dong Ruyi smiled: "It's a good thing." ”

Liao's mother put her mind at ease and said with a smile: "Look at the slave maid, I am shocked, if there is no problem with the dim sum, then the young lady is going out again?"

Dong Ruyi said: "Over the years, you have not lived in peace with me for a while, but now that it is okay, Xue Ren has taken the first and second exams, and Liao's mother can enjoy Qingfu." ”

Liao's mother was stunned for a moment, but she was happy before she came, and she understood what Dong Ruyi said.

"Miss, do you dare to go as a slave?"
