In Qingyunzhai, scholars gathered together spontaneously. Some talked about their feelings after the exam, some talked about current affairs, and some talked about gossip in the capital.

"Do you know? Juxian Pavilion is under renovation and will reopen soon?" A scholar just finished speaking.

Several people gathered around, their eyes shining, "Really, if I make the list, I will definitely go there and book a table to celebrate."

"Of course it's true, my mother said that there is a notice for hiring people posted in front of the restaurant."

"Did your mother say that if you don't pass the exam, she will let you work as a waiter in the restaurant?" A scholar teased, and everyone laughed.

The scholar who first talked about gossip waved his sleeves, "Go away, who wants to be a waiter? If I don't pass, I can take the exam again in three years."

Su Jin stood in front of the wall and looked at the poems on the wall. One was signed by Mingyue and the other was signed by Yue Niang. Su Jin recognized the handwriting of his elder sister at a glance.

There are also several catchy poems, which are probably what Sui Sui brought to the private school.

He picked up a book from the bookshelf and came to the window. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. The rain fell on the ground, creating bubbles.

"Brother Su, I knew you would come to the study. How is it? Have you recovered after a night's rest?"

Zhen Jingxiu's voice sounded behind him, and then he patted his shoulder.

Su Jin turned around and looked at Zhen Jingxiu, who was tall and handsome, with clear eyes.

"Not bad. I didn't stay up late during the days in the Imperial Examination Hall. Jingxiu, you have recovered well."

Su Jin looked out the window and said, "One autumn rain brings one cold. The autumn in the capital is earlier than that in Yannan."

"Yannan is really a good place. Just looking at Sui Sui, you can tell that he looks like a baby walking down from a New Year picture. His father must be very handsome." Zhen Jingxiu said and sat down opposite Su Jin.

When he looked up, he saw Su Jin frowning slightly, and he quickly realized that this topic could not be discussed.

"The rain will not stop for a while, Brother Su, stay in the study for lunch today, I will have someone send wine and food here later, and we will have a few drinks."

"My sister is at home today, I will go back when the rain stops." Su Jin said truthfully.

Zhen Jingxiu also knew that Jiang Shuyue ran a clinic, and she had time to stay at home with her family only when it rained, so he did not force her to stay.

Not long after the two sat down, a scholar discovered them and came over to say hello.

...

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. The air was filled with a moist atmosphere, and the trees exuded a unique fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

A team of people came out of the posthouse and headed straight for the capital.

Xiao Dai lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out the window. The scenery on the roadside fell backwards, and it seemed that the speed of the car was faster than the way they came.

"Big sister, please ask the driver to slow down. The leaves here are not as green as those in Yannan. The red ones are like flowers, which are also very beautiful."

Xiao Yun was not satisfied with what she saw, so she simply opened the curtain wider.

Xiao Dai was afraid that she would accidentally roll out of the carriage, so she quickly reached out and hugged her around the waist.

"Sister, don't play too much. We have stayed on the road for a long time. If we are slower, we will not be able to reach the capital before dark."

"If I hadn't been thinking about seeing my good nephew, I would have wanted to go to Qinglian Temple to have a look."

Xiao Yun heard the postmaster in the posthouse talk about it, and she had mentioned it twice on the way.

Xiao Dai touched the back of her sister's head and whispered softly like petting a cat, "There will be many opportunities to go to Qinglian Temple in the future. There is no rush. The capital is more lively than Laiyang City, and there are many people coming and going from the south and the north. After entering the capital, sister, you can't run around."

Xiao Yun simply lay on Xiao Dai's legs, thinking about the scene when her nephew saw her.

Thinking about it, she fell asleep.

In order to hurry on, they had a quick lunch at a roadside tavern. Xiao Yun was thinking about the delicacies in the imperial kitchen, so she put down her chopsticks after a few bites.

Tired of seeing the scenery along the way, she simply fell asleep on the soft couch in the carriage.

"The servant welcomes Princess Changle, please get off the carriage."

"Who?"

Xiao Yun was woken up and sat up.

Hey! Why is it so dark?

Just when Xiao Yun didn't know what day it was, a head stuck out from the carriage, "Is Princess Changle awake?"

"Who is Changle?" Xiao Yun quickly lifted the curtain and stuck her head out.

The palace lanterns in the distance reflected the palace, which was magnificent and much more spectacular than the Yannan Palace.

"Welcome Princess Changle."

Xiao Yun just stuck her head out and saw several palace maids and eunuchs kneeling down in unison.

She was the only one left in the car. Who else could Princess Changle be if not her?

She slapped her forehead and said, "How could I forget this?"

It turned out that the title given to her by her second brother was Changle, and she liked it.

She waved her hand proudly, "Don't kneel down, get up quickly, have you seen where my mother, no, my mother and my elder sister have gone?"

The maid in front stood up and stretched out her hand to support Changle's arm, "Princess, get off the car slowly, the queen mother and Princess Yonghe have already gone to the Cining Palace."

Oh, there is no doubt that she was left behind.

"How long have I been here? Why didn't my mother and elder sister wake me up?" Changle got off the carriage and rubbed her eyes and asked.

"Princess, the emperor saw that you were sleeping soundly, so he ordered the maids to wait here for you to wake up."

The maid didn't say that they had been waiting for more than half an hour. Seeing that the lights in the palace were on, they were afraid that Princess Changle would catch a cold sleeping in the carriage, so they called her a few times with courage.

"Will you all follow me from now on?" The lighting here was dim, and Xiao Yun couldn't see their faces clearly. Seeing that the palace maids were about the same height as herself, she asked.

The maids all answered, "Yes, we are all from Changle Palace, and we will serve you, Princess Changle, from now on."

"Come on, follow me back to the palace, you have worked hard, it's dark here, you can introduce your names one by one when you return to the palace." Xiao Yun waved her hand, exuding domineering aura.

Seeing Princess Changle walking towards a palace road, the maids hurriedly chased after her, "Princess, please stay, the sedan chair is here."

Xiao Yun turned around and saw that there was a sedan chair waiting on the other side of the carriage.

She asked, "Is it far? Do you need to take a sedan chair?"

The maid bowed hurriedly, "Not far, the emperor is worried that the princess will be tired, so he specially asked Eunuch Ma to send a sedan chair over."

"No, I'd better walk a little and stretch my muscles."

Gurgle...

As soon as the heroic words were finished, Xiao Yun hurriedly covered her stomach.

It was too embarrassing to growl with hunger in front of the maids.

She then remembered that she seemed to have not eaten lunch.

The lights in the Cining Palace were bright.

Xiao Jingzhao sat in the small hall, his eyes fixed on the portrait on the table and he didn't want to look away.

"Mother, this is what happened. I asked the princess to help me find someone, but the Shangshu Mansion said that the person was gone."

Xiao Jingzhao told the story of him and Jiang Shuyue frankly.

The queen mother pursed her lips and frowned, and after a while she said: "It has come to this point. Mother scolding you can't change the facts. You are all being calculated by others. Compensate her well in the future, and bring the mother and daughter into the palace for me tomorrow."

"Don't worry, mother, you have seen Miss Jiang. She is not an ordinary woman. How can she be willing to do it with an imperial decree? Let your son plan this matter slowly."

Looking at his son who is vigorous and resolute in doing big things, but cautious in front of Jiang Shuyue.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "You can always arrange for us to meet, right?"

Xiao Dai's eyes lit up, "Second brother, I haven't met Miss Jiang yet. Just hearing Sister Su Hui mention her, I'm looking forward to meeting her."
