The sound of horses' hooves ticked, and when Zhang Ruoyu raised his head again, Zhao Ling's team had already gone away.

She stood in front of the door and smiled relievedly: "Let's go, do what you should do." ”

The love of children should not hinder his progress, and Zhang Ruoyu will not leave a person for the so-called emotional love. In her view, an equal relationship should be evenly matched, not a one-sided follow that arises from love or affection.

She has to be herself first, and then she can be someone else's relationship in the future.

She has not completed the tasks and wishes that belong to "Zhang Ruoyu", so naturally she can't leave like this.

Open the door, walk in, close the door.

Her and Zhao Ling's lives are going in the opposite direction from today, maybe the next time they meet, both of them will have the courage to keep each other.

"Ouch my Ayu! You're finally back! As soon as Zhang Ruoyu arrived home, Liu Xiu rushed up with a pair of red and swollen eyes, and hugged Zhang Ruoyu is crying for a while.

From her intermittent words, Zhang Ruoyu also knew what happened to her.

Since the bandits came down the mountain on that day, those bandits have robbed a lot of supplies and people up the mountain, and the people in the county town are still waiting for the county lord to send someone to recruit the bandits.

But early yesterday morning, as soon as the gates were opened, the captives returned on their own. But when I asked them, they only said that a well-meaning knight passed by and saved himself before he could come back.

Liu Xiu waited and waited but did not wait for Zhang Ruoyu and Zhao Ling, and for a moment thought that the two of them had died.

Fortunately, Zhang Ruoyu finally came back today, and the big stone in her heart could be put down.

"But what about Ah Ling?" Hugging and hugging, Liu Xiu finally found out that something was wrong, why was there one less person next to him?

She didn't agree with Zhang Ruoyu when she picked up Zhao Ling from the mountain before, but after a long time, even if Zhang Ruoyu left Zhang's house, Zhao Ling was always by her side to help. So although he didn't say it, Liu Xiu had already regarded Zhao Ling as his other child.

Now Zhang Ruoyu is home, but Zhao Ling has not returned, and she has some ominous premonitions in her heart.

"Oh no, he's home." Seeing that Liu Xiu was about to cry again, Zhang Ruoyu hurriedly explained, for fear that she would think too much.

"Home?"

"Well, yes," Zhang Ruoyu had no choice but to lie, "His family is rich, and he sent someone to find it, and those who killed the robbers belonged to his family." ”

"The family was urging him, so he left first, saying that he would ask someone to bring you special products when he got home."

This explanation is also appropriate, Liu Xiu didn't have too many doubts when he heard it, but just muttered a few words:

"I'll just say that Aling's child looks extraordinary, and now it seems that he is really a child of a rich family."

"It's good to go home, but it's okay to have any specialties, I'm an old man, I don't need anything, it's important that he lives well."

Afraid that Liu Xiu would think about it more, Zhang Ruoyu hurriedly pushed her into the house, and said as she walked: "Let's go, mother, I'm hungry~"

Liu Xiu heard this, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Zhang Ruoyu stared at the direction she left, her eyes drifting aimlessly, and she didn't know who she was talking to: "Stinky guy, do you hear it, you have to live well." ”

The house that he and Zhao Ling saw that day was also settled and used to make a winery. And this time, Wang Jiang's winery was hit hard, and Zhang Ruoyu said that he wanted to go and set up his own door, so Wang Jiang was ruthless and took his own people to join Zhang Ruoyu's side directly, which can be regarded as dragging his family and gangsters and directly becoming the second leader of Zhang's winery.

Zhang Ruoyu is also helpless about this change, he has been the second leader of Wang Jiang for so long, and now the original owner has become his second master, it is very interesting to say.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, what do you want to call your winery? I was uneducated before what was called Wang's Wine Workshop, didn't you have an awkward relationship with your family? What's wrong with Zhangjia Distillery? Wang Jiang stood beside Zhang Ruoyu and scratched his head.

He is also a smart person, knowing that his winery can come back to life from Zhang Ruoyu's Qinggen wine, and when he heard that she was going to set up her own door, he simply came to her directly.

At present, Wang Jiang can also be regarded as the second-in-command, replacing the previous position of Zhao Ling, and in the winery, he can give Zhang Ruoyu more opinions.

"Let's call it 'drunk and proud.'"

"Good name! I'm going to ask the craftsman to make a plaque! "Wang Jiang waved his hand, and his action was excellent, so he went directly to make a plaque.

With the help of Wang Jiang, Zhang Ruoyu's "drunk and proud" can be regarded as a mighty opening, and the customers who had accumulated directly poured over when it opened, and each of them bought at least two jars of wine, which was a good start for Zhang Ruoyu!

Zhang Ruoyu's wine shop business is already thriving, and she is busy all day long, and only in her spare time will she think of the person who followed her again and again.

......

In the capital.

"Little prince, why are you distracted again?" Li resolutely sat opposite Zhao Ling, and waved his hand helplessly in front of Zhao Ling, which could be regarded as summoning his soul back.

Zhao Ling's eyes drooped slightly, and he looked away a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry." So saying, he left a son.

Li resolutely looked at his dejected state, and could only shake his head.

"By the way, how to solve the matter of the previous county order of Shangyang County?" Zhao Ling suddenly mentioned this matter again, he still remembered that the "county order" had been killed by Li Yiran, and he didn't know what the situation in Shangyang County was now.

"Ouch, hey, I'm dropping the little prince. I've explained this to you no less than ten times. ”

"We have already sent people over to make a new county order, and the people in the past are a doer, so Shangyang County is not good now."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Ling was still staring at him, Li resolutely pursed his lips, and understood what the other party meant, so he could only continue to follow his words:

"That Zhang Ruoyu opened a wine shop by himself called drunk and proud, and now the business is booming, and he is so busy all day long that he can't touch the ground."

"That's... Isn't she thin? Zhao Ling frowned, and he had already begun to worry about Zhang Ruoyu's body.

Li resolutely tilted his head, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous: "I'm obedient, I don't have clairvoyance, how do I know if she's fat and thin?" ”

"If you want to know, you should have brought her into the palace at that time."

When Zhao Ling heard this, he said weakly: "She refuses." ”

"If you don't play, you can't play this chess today." Li resolutely shook his hand and was about to leave.

But before leaving, he left this sentence for Zhao Ling: "Zhao Ling, you have to understand your current identity, your indifference is the best protection for her." ”

After finishing speaking, he strode away, leaving Zhao Ling alone in a daze at the half-played chess game.

……

People are in the high-rise buildings of the palace, they are in a high place, and when they look out, they are all in the prosperous scenery of the capital. There are occasional vendors on the roadside shouting and eating, and there are also old men carrying wine jars selling wine along the street.

Somehow, Zhao Ling looked at this scene and actually thought of the time when he was in Shangyang County before, he and Zhang Ruoyu were selling Qinggen wine along the street.

At that time, he still had his own reserve and unwillingness as a prince, but on the contrary, Zhang Ruoyu, who was dressed as a man, was exceptionally open, and actually attracted a lot of guests through various ways. It was from that time that Zhang Ruoyu's wine business began to go on the right path.

What flashed in front of him was Zhang Ruoyu wearing a small man's clothes, pretending to be a man, Zhao Ling smiled helplessly, thanks to the fact that he had studied for so many years to observe people's hearts, he didn't even see Zhang Ruoyu's disguise.

The smile on his face suddenly stopped, he did find Zhang Ruoyu's identity as a woman, but he was still called a brother, and the relationship between the two had always been just partners.

"Partner." Zhao Ling used to be proud of these four words, but now he only feels that when he says these four words, his mouth is full of bitterness.

When Zhao Ling fell into memories, there were people outside the door.

"What?"

"Little prince, the queen is invited."

"Understood, tell the queen mother that I'll be there later."

Zhao Ling responded, packed up his clothes and thoughts a little, and walked to Yanchun Palace when he went out.

Counting the days, it has been about seven days since he returned to the palace, in order to hide people's eyes, he can only keep a low profile and not appear, and now that the "incubation period" has passed, he has to go out and hang around, so that those people behind him really think that he is a good bully.

In the Yanchun Palace, the queen was wearing a lemon king embroidery effect printed yarn embroidery skirt, the lower garment swayed slightly, and it was a deep red rice needle halo brocade hundred water skirt, and the ears were silk aquamarine earrings, and the white hand was as white as a green onion wearing a pile of silk Kunlun Xiuyu bracelets. Rao is such a private outfit, and it also shows her grace and luxury as a queen everywhere.

"The Queen Mother." Zhao Ling called softly.

"Ling'er, you're finally back." The queen dismissed everyone, leaving only a few henchmen waiting by her side.

She held Zhao Ling's hand for a while, she had heard of the concubine's next steps, but because she was in a high position, she had to be cautious at every step, so she was far from daring to act rashly when Zhao Ling had an accident.

Now that Zhao Ling has finally returned safely, the big stone in her heart has finally been put down.

She looked at Zhao Ling's pale blue under her eyes, and the resentment against the noble lady deepened a little in her heart: "Ling'er, tell me about the situation of going out this time." ”

In fact, she had already learned about Zhao Ling's trip this time from Li Yiran, but Li Yiran's mouth downplayed Zhang Ruoyu's existence, and only described Zhang Ruoyu as a kind person.

But in Zhao Ling's eyes, he has subjective feelings for Zhang Ruoyu, so no matter how deliberately he ignores Zhang Ruoyu's existence, he still can't deceive the queen.

The queen listened, the look on her face remained unchanged, but the alarm bell sounded in her heart: Who is this Zhang Ruoyu, who is just a passer-by in Li Yiran's mouth, how did he become a desperate friend in Ling'er's mouth?
