When the summer passed completely, Ruyi still didn't wait for Lu Ziqian's words.

The rumors spread so well that even the Lu family, who was far away in Sanli Town, heard the news. Mrs. Lu sent a letter to her family, with harsh wording, and scolded Ruyi with blood.

Ruyi didn't say anything, just routinely reported that he was fine.

Lu Ziyue's belly is getting bigger day by day, and it is not easy to go out, and now she is locked up at home by Wang Jin.

Hu Yu caused such a big incident, although the Hu family did not lose anything on the surface, but the Queen Mother's faction attacked the prime minister's line and the Lu Fu's power in the army in the court.

The emperor did not act, so the Hu family was forced to hurry. Hu's father strictly forbade Hu Yu to associate with Ruyi again.

Tang Qianqian's letters became less and less, and after visiting Ruyi that time, there was no sound.

Ruyi stood alone in the courtyard, watching the leaves fall one after another, only to feel that loneliness and longing were surging layer by layer, almost drowning her.

She learned calligraphy, although the writing was crooked, but Ruyi wrote a letter to Lu Ziqian every day, packed it, sealed it meticulously with red paint, and then stacked it neatly in the drawer.

Then he sat in the study in a daze looking at a whole drawer full of letters, and looked at it for an afternoon.

There were fewer and fewer people who came to visit Lu Ziqian's 'illness', Ruyi didn't even bother to pretend, and handed over the invited Lang Zhong to the two maids to take care of, and he simply didn't even go to the bedroom, only rested on the couch in the study.

There is a taste of Lu Ziqian here.

On the bookshelf were the books he had read, on the pen stand were his usual pens, in the porcelain vase containing the scrolls of his favorite paintings, and in the outer cabinet was the cloak he used to protect himself from the cold at night......

Ruyi sometimes in the dead of night, smelling the milk on the quilt, tears will fall.

The only thing that can make Ruyi pay attention is only Lu Ziyue's letter of almost one or two in a month.

Fortunately, Su'er can't think about both, and often accompanies Ruyi, and the two of them can sit for an afternoon. Chun Tao alone has to deal with Xu Lang, who is harassed every day, and has to take care of the affairs of the house, which is simply exhausted, coupled with Su'er's emaciation day by day, the burden on Chun Tao's body is getting heavier and heavier, and the person has also been reduced.

At the beginning of October, the weather became colder and colder, and after four months, the imperial court finally released the list.

Ruyi stuffed himself at home without leaving the house, and he didn't know what kind of turmoil the court had.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor are almost on the same page.

The emperor lost his mother since he was a child, and was raised under the name of the original Queen Shu and the current Queen Mother. People say that blood is thicker than water, and this mother and son who are not related by blood are naturally not close.

The Queen Mother's own son was defeated in the battle for the throne, and now she is only an idle prince, how can she be willing? Since the emperor's accession to the throne, the two have been fighting openly and secretly, the emperor has relied on the Lu family and the Hu family, and the queen mother has supported the Huang family and her own family.

Even the lawless third princess who was spoiled in the legend is just bearing the name of the princess. Princess Xining is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and she was accepted into the palace to live when she was young, and the Queen Mother was in full swing, forcing the Queen to recognize this cheap daughter and give her granddaughter the title of princess.

said that she was favored, but in fact, it was the Queen Mother who spoiled the princess.

Lord Lu disappeared inexplicably, giving the Queen Mother a reason and excuse to suppress the royalist party, Ruyi is just a chess piece that happened to bump into it, the Hu family's position is stable, Hu Yu can't move, Ruyi is the best pathfinder.

Try the emperor's bottom line, and see if the emperor still has the heart to protect the Lu family.

The Queen Mother's Royal Highness lost half of her life, and the emperor didn't even have symbolic condolences, Princess Xining's courage gradually grew, and this is why she went out and was robbed.

It's just that Ruyi first came to the capital, and the formal occasion he attended was only a flower viewing party, and his subordinates couldn't recognize Ruyi's face, and they caught someone by mistake, and suddenly a Xu Lang appeared, and then he returned home.

Although it failed, it caught the flaw of Ruyi.

Xu Lang.

According to the rules of the Liang Dynasty, the top ten in the written test entered the Taihe Hall to participate in the palace examination, and the emperor and the queen mother personally made the questions to determine the top three. Due to the Lu family, Lu Ziqian didn't even get into the top ten, and naturally there was no way to talk about the palace test.

But Xu Lang is different, his roots are far away in a remote town in the south, there are only two people in Beijing, he and his mother, the background is simple and clean, and he was originally the object of both factions, but because of his relationship with Ruyi, Xu Lang's status suddenly became ambiguous.

The results of the palace examination, which could have been decided in three days, dragged on for three months under the daily court quarrels.

When she heard the news of the release of the list, she and Su'er were crooked in the room, listening to the two parrots bickering in the bird cage hanging under the eaves, bored.

Chun Tao showed a spiritual glow on her high, thin, somewhat sunken cheeks.

"Grandma, the results of the scientific examination are out, and Xu Gongzi is the leader of this year!"

Ruyi picked up the hazelnuts on the table, carefully clamped them with small pliers, and slowly threw one in his mouth, "Hmm? Eye-catching? What does it have to do with our Lu Mansion? ”

It doesn't matter.

Chun Tao smiled a little embarrassed, and the brilliance on her face darkened little by little, "It's the slave's fault, I shouldn't tell you about this ......"

Ruyi looked at Chun Tao's somewhat tired figure, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Chun Tao has affection for Xu Lang, she has always known that Chun Tao is unwilling to marry because of her......

already owes Chun Tao a life and innocence, but now she is made to work hard, and she is not even allowed to mention Xu Lang...... Ruyi felt that he was a little too harsh.

"Chun Tao, it's okay. Xu Gongzi has been waiting at the gate of our house for more than a month, and his heart for you is firm, you really don't think about it? Maybe there will never be a chance again. ”

Chun Tao shook her head, "Grandma, you don't have to persuade anymore, the slave is only willing to be by your side." Xu Gongzi ...... Slaves and maids can't climb high now......"

Xu Lang High School Tanhua, it was the hot time, the matchmakers at the door were lined up, Chun Tao was a slave girl, but it was......

Ruyi sighed and stopped talking. Su'er stretched out her hand and pulled Chun Tao to her side, and the three frustrated girls sat in the late autumn room, relatively speechless.

…………

A few families are happy and a few are sad.

The candidates who have been stranded in the capital for a few months know the results, and the good ones naturally want to relax, and the bad ones also want to use wine to eliminate their sorrows.

Ruyi was persuaded by the two maids to grind hard and soak day by day, and finally relented and agreed to go out for a walk.
