After appeasing Xiao Tao, Du Ruonan went back to his room to pack his things.

In fact, they didn't stay long in Beijing this time, and the things were originally packed, as long as they packed up some of the things they used daily, even if they were finished, it was very effortless.

After packing up all the things and sending the servants to put them on the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, Du Ruonan quietly waited for Su Zhiyu to return home in the room.

"Everything?"

Because Ming'er was leaving, Su Zhiyu accompanied the emperor to drink some wine in the palace, and when he came back, he was a little drunk.

Du Ruonan waited for Su Zhiyu to change his clothes, and said with a smile: "It's all done, the preparations are all done, let's get up and leave tomorrow." ”

Su Zhiyu smiled and nodded: "Have you thought about where you want to go?" ”

Du Ruonan shook his head: "Look at fate, let's go wherever we go, we will settle down wherever we like, okay?" ”

Su Zhiyu naturally relied on Du Ruonan: "It's all up to you...... When the time comes, let's open a dyeing workshop in the place where we stay. ”

As soon as he heard that he could return to his old business, Du Ruonan's eyes were full of joy again, and when he talked to Su Zhiyu, the corners of his mouth became brisk.

After the two of them rested for a while, they got up early the next morning and started to hurry.

The mountains and rivers along the way, although they had also passed through when they were exiled by Emperor Shengxi before, but now after all, their moods are different, and everything they see around them is also different.

The two made their way south and settled in a small town.

"This place has mountains and rivers, and it is a good place by the mountains and rivers."

Su Zhiyu looked down at Du Ruonan, and there was a smile in his eyes: "Since you like this place, let's live here in the future?" ”

Du Ruonan nodded: "Now we have nothing to worry about, if we fall in love here, let's settle here." ”

Both of them are action-oriented, saying that they want to live here, so they immediately bought the location of the house, bought a house and a shop, and renovated the dye shop and the house together, but after a few days, the two of them settled everything here.

This was originally a small town, Du Ruonan brought the dyeing techniques he had learned before, so that the local villagers could see different dyeing techniques, and the business was unprecedentedly hot, but he robbed a lot of shops.

Fortunately, the people here are simple, and the villagers are not the kind of intrigue, everyone saw that Du Ruonan brought a new dyeing and clothing technology, and they all came to learn from Du Ruonan, Du Ruonan and Su Zhiyu have only been in this place for a short time, but they have already had a good relationship with the surrounding villagers.

Du Ruonan's business is becoming more and more prosperous, not only making clothes for takeout, but also accepting some apprentices, who are busy every day, but they forget a lot about Su Mingyue's death.

And then, Su Zhiyu also because of his daily busyness, the hatred for Emperor Shengxi in his heart has also decreased a lot, and occasionally when the two of them sing about wine, they miss the arrogance of the four of them together, and there is still a pity in my heart.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them have been in the town for more than half a year, and the imperial examination at the imperial court is about to be held as scheduled.

"I heard that this imperial examination was personally written by the emperor."

Although the town is far away from the strife of the imperial court, sometimes when I hear something, I still discuss it.

When Su Zhiyu and Du Ruonan heard this, they both raised their eyebrows, and with confusion in their eyes, they listened to the other villagers again

"Since the Holy Ancestor Emperor, there has been no emperor personally out of the exam questions, and our new emperor must be another generation of idle monarchs."

Listening to everyone's evaluation of Emperor Guoqing, Su Zhiyu felt a little relieved in his heart.

"It seems that Emperor Shengxi's lessons have indeed left a deep impression in the hearts of all of us, and I only hope that the emperor is not a three-minute heat now."

In the past half a year, the emperor has indeed accepted a lot of concubines in order to consolidate Chaogang, but he has not chilled the heart of the person who has always been by his side like Emperor Shengxi before.

"Zhiyu, there seems to be your letter here."

Du Ruonan was tidying up the furniture and was about to close the shop and go home with Su Zhiyu, but he saw a carrier pigeon wandering outside the window. Du Ruonan stretched out his hand and tore off the letter on the carrier pigeon's feet, and handed it to Su Zhiyu at a glance

"It seems to have been written by the emperor."

Su Zhiyu raised his eyebrows, opened it and looked at it, and his brows wrinkled slightly.

Seeing the change in Su Zhiyu's expression, Du Ruonan was a little more worried in his eyes: "What's wrong?" What did you say in your heart? ”

"The emperor wants me to go back."

Du Ruonan frowned: "What do you mean?" "Huaxia Chinese

"I don't want to go back."

Su Zhiyu had ideals and ambitions before, but now because of the previous incident of Emperor Shengxi, Su Zhiyu's heart has been completely chilled, and Su Zhiyu now just wants to stay out of the matter and no longer care about the affairs of the court.

It's just that before they left, the emperor once euphemistically mentioned that he hoped that Su Zhiyu could stay, but Su Zhiyu was unwilling to stay at that time, and the emperor did not force it, and now he wrote a letter to Su Zhiyu, I am afraid that the emperor will encounter some problems again.

After all, everyone is also brothers who grew up together, and Su Zhiyu is inevitably a little worried about the emperor.

Emperor Guoqing has never been cultivated as an emperor since he was a child, and if he encounters any problems, I don't know if he can cope with it.

Seeing the worry in Su Zhiyu's heart, Du Ruonan sighed: "If you are really worried, why don't we go back to Beijing to see the situation?" ”

Su Zhiyu pondered for a moment while holding the letter, and finally nodded. There are things about the court and the emperor, and Su Zhiyu is still somewhat uneasy.

Since it has been decided, Du Ruonan and Su Zhiyu immediately closed the door of the store, left a note on the door of the store, only saying that they would go out on a long trip and come back in a few days.

The emperor and Ru Ya had already heard the news that Du Ruonan and Su Zhiyu were coming back, and sent someone to meet the two of them at the city gate early in the morning.

The one who was sent to pick up the two of them was none other than Tobe Shangshu.

"Lord Su."

As soon as Hubu Shangshu saw Su Zhiyu, he wanted to dismount to greet Su Zhiyu, but was stopped by Su Zhiyu: "Hubu Shangshu doesn't need to be polite, now Su is just a civilian." ”

Hubu Shangshu waved his hand again and again: "In the old man's heart, Master Su will always be the old man's boss." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries all the way, and Su Zhiyu asked Hubu Shangshu worriedly: "I hurried back after receiving the emperor's letter, what problems did the emperor encounter?" ”

Hubu Shangshu nodded: "Now that the imperial examination is imminent, the emperor originally wanted to make the exam questions in person, but some courtiers actually raised objections one after another, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that these courtiers want to make their own questions, but for their own convenience, if the emperor personally makes the questions, where do they do these conveniences?" ”

If the emperor personally came up with the question, even if these people wanted to cheat, they wouldn't be able to.

Su Zhiyu sighed, but it was still for his own interests, it seems that the emperor asked himself to come over this time, but also to let himself clear the court.

Su Zhiyu followed Hubu Shangshu into the palace, and asked Du Ruonan on the way: "Do you enter the palace with me, or go home?" ”

Du Ruonan just wanted to say that he would go back to the house to rest and then enter the palace, but he didn't want to, and the head of the household had already opened his mouth: "When the old man came, the queen mother specially instructed the old man to take you and his wife all the way into the palace. ”

It seems that Ru Ya can't wait to meet Du Ruonan.

Du Ruonan smiled at the corner of her mouth, nodded resignedly, and asked the Hubu Shangshu again: "Does Lord Shangshu know if Miss Lan is with the queen mother now?" ”

"Miss Lan is waiting for you in the palace early in the morning."

Du Ruonan nodded in understanding, and did not speak again along the way.

As soon as she really entered the palace, she saw Ru Ya and Lan Yu'er waiting for her in Kunning Palace, Ru Ya saw that Du Ruonan finally came over, and ran over at a trot all the way to greet her: "Thank God, you can be regarded as finally back." ”

Du Ruonan shook his head with a smile: "But what happened?" ”

"What could happen to me?"

Ru Ya shook her head with a smile: "It's just that when the emperor married the concubine at the beginning, I was really not very used to it, but in the past half a month, I have long been used to this. ”

Seeing that Ru Ya wanted to open it now, Du Ruonan raised her eyebrows and turned her head to look at Lan Yu'er: "This day is not as good as every other autumn, our queen mother has really grown up, how do you want to open it?" ”

Ru Ya smiled: "It's not that Yu'er has been persuading me in front of me, besides, now it's such a situation, even if I can't think about it, I can't do anything, unless I really cut myself off, or I'm angry, I still want a child, live two more years, but I can't do what those little goblins want." ”

Du Ruonan raised her eyebrows, although this Ru Ya was laughing, but when she said it, there was still hatred in her eyes.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"It's not that the concubines in the back are not honest."

Lan Yu'er flattened her mouth, and there was also a hint of ridicule in her eyes: "The harem concubines are jumping in front of the emperor one by one to give the emperor eye medicine, saying that the queen mother is not that wrong, recently a favored little promise, but he still wants to frame the queen mother, and in the end, she stole the chicken and rice, and did not ask her to do what she wanted." ”

"You see what Yu'er said easily, but I almost hurt that little goblin at that time!"

After Lan Yu'er finished speaking, Ru Ya said viciously: "I originally thought that I was not afraid of crooked shadows, as long as the emperor believed me, I didn't defend him and believed that I wouldn't do such a thing, but I didn't expect that the emperor was provoked by that little goblin, and he actually began to suspect me!" ”

When she said this, Ruya's words were full of hatred.
