"So I plan to take a job in the Ministry of Industry for Your Highness and tinker with some things at home. If we can improve some farm tools, it will also be a good thing for Dajin."

Zhao Yuanxun was very pleased when he heard this, and the old lady and Mrs. Zhu were also relieved.

They were afraid that Zhao Ruxi was too ambitious and neglected King Qi, causing dissatisfaction from the royal family and criticism from ministers.

Now Zhao Ruxi can take care of both, and what's more, he is doing something important like improving farm tools that benefits the country and the people, and no one can even say a word about it.

Zhu couldn't sit still when he mentioned Xiao Lingyan.

Seeing that the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun had no new questions to ask, she said: "Sister Xi, there are still some things in your house that I asked people to clean out. You go and see if you still want them. If you still want them, ask people to

Take it back to Prince Qi's Mansion."

"We will set off in a few days. Although there are people in the mansion to take care of it, it is best not to leave some important things here."

Zhao Ruxi had only returned to Suiping's residence for two years, and she had been very busy in the past two years. Except for the four treasures of the study and books, as well as the clothes and jewelry that Zhu bought for her, she didn't buy anything at all.

The things were simple, she had many capable people under her, and she knew that the old lady and the Zhu family would not stay in the capital. She had asked people to clean up her things long before she got married, and brought them all to Prince Qi's Mansion along with the dowry.

Zhu's words are just an excuse.

She did not refuse, followed Zhu's words and left the hall, and followed her to her original courtyard.

Zhu only asked about food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way. It wasn't until she entered Zhao Ruxi's house that she asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Qi...can't he really, ahem...walk on the sidewalk?"

Zhao Ruxi acted like a female gangster in front of Xiao Lingyan, very enthusiastic and unrestrained. But in front of outsiders, she was still a girl's thin skin.

When Mrs. Zhu asked such a private question, her face immediately turned red.

She shook her head and said, "No."

Mrs. Zhu sighed secretly in her heart and asked again: "Then you are living in the same room with him now?"

"No." Zhao Ruxi explained the living situation of the two of them and said, "There is nothing we can do about it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhu felt even more sorry for her daughter.

She touched Zhao Ruxi's head and comforted her: "Isn't His Highness's body recovering slowly? Your good days are still to come."

"Huh? I know." Zhao Ruxi smiled brightly at Zhu Shi, "Mom, am I okay? Don't worry about me? I will live a good life."

"Sure, I'm not worried about you." Mrs. Zhu touched her daughter's head and said nothing.

She knows her daughter's abilities, and she doesn't worry about her life. King Qi treats her well? That's okay. Life is not perfect? ​​Although she has regrets, she doesn't think about it anymore.

Xiao Lingyan was still ill, so Zhao Ruxi couldn't stay at home too long. She made an appointment with her parents to see her off when they left the capital, so she left Suiping's Mansion with Aunt Yu.

The two separated on the street? Aunt Yu returned to the palace, while Zhao Ruxi returned to Suiping's residence.

Ten days later, Zhao Yuanxun and his party set off. After Zhao Ruxi saw them off, he asked someone to send a letter to Kang Shilin, asking him to meet at Prince Qi's Mansion.

She was not married before, and as Kang Shilin's apprentice? It was okay to go to Kang Mansion. Now that she is married to another woman, it would be bad to go to a place like Kang Mansion where there are foreign men.

She always pays attention to such small details in her actions to avoid being criticized and causing unnecessary trouble to herself and her family.

Kang Shilin always kept his little apprentice in mind.

After receiving Zhao Ruxi’s message, you quickly came to Prince Qi’s Mansion.

He went to visit Xiao Lingyan first, and then went to the hall. He looked at Zhao Ruxi and sighed, but said nothing.

What could he say? Everything was a foregone conclusion. Even if he saw Xiao Lingyan paralyzed on the bed, unable to move, he couldn't say a single bad word.

He just pitied his little apprentice.

"Master, are you feeling well?"

Zhao Ruxi hasn't seen Kang Shilin for a while. The last time she saw her master was before the Wanshou Festival, which was more than two months ago.

After the Wanshou Festival incident, the capital was in turmoil. Kang Shilin was busy comforting Xiao Ge, and Zhao Ruxi was busy taking care of Xiao Lingyan. The master and apprentice never had a chance to meet.

Now seeing that although Kang Shilin had not lost weight, his energy was not as high as before, Zhao Ruxi felt a little uncomfortable.

Master is old, and I don’t know how long he can live. In ancient times, medical treatment was poor, and sometimes a cold could kill someone.

Although Zhao Ruxi has rehabilitation pills, its effect on elderly people with poor health is limited.

Kang Shilin let out a long sigh and didn't hide it from Zhao Ruxi: "Others are fine, I just have to worry about it."

As he said this, he was worried that Zhao Ruxi didn't understand what he meant, and looked at Zhao Ruxi intently.

Zhao Ruxi was dumbfounded by what her master did.

Okay, she is still the same old naughty master, she is not worried now.

"Master, you don't have to worry about me. Except for His Highness's health, my life couldn't be better."

Zhao Ruxi refilled Kang Shilin's tea: "Your Highness's health will always get better."

Kang Shilin was worried about Zhao Ruxi, and more importantly, he was worried that his young apprentice would be depressed after encountering such a marriage.

Seeing that she was still confident and full of energy, with no trace of self-pity, he felt relieved.

Both master and apprentice felt relieved.

He asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

"I still want to be an official. It's just that your Highness is in a situation like this. If I run out all day and go to the Yamen to do things, I will be criticized by others, and the emperor and the noble concubine will definitely not allow it." Zhao Ruxi said.

"I'm thinking about whether I should take a job in the Ministry of Industry instead of going to the government office. I'd just improve farm tools and tinker with new things at home."

Kang Shilin felt that Zhao Ruxi was so smart, had read so many books, and finally got the top prize in the examination. He only served as an official for half a year and stopped working. He stayed in the back house to look after his husband and raise his children. He really felt pity and aggrieved for his young apprentice.

But she was marrying a prince, and Xiao Lingyan was in such a situation that he couldn't say anything to let her become an official.

Now that I heard Zhao Ruxi's approach of getting the best of both worlds, I couldn't agree more.

"That's good. You don't know that the emperor praised you in front of me for the two farm tools you improved," he said happily.

As he said that, he looked at Zhao Ruxi and said, "Do you want me to go and speak for you in front of the emperor?"

Zhao Ruxi shook his head: "I have made some achievements in the past. The two farm tools played a big role in clearing up wasteland in winter, but it will take some time for the people to really recognize it and to fully promote it. After one spring, it will be almost the same."

Already."
