Chapter 284 Road Encounters
Ruyi watched the empress and the people walking away with no expression on her face, so she just knelt down obediently.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to go and talk to Mother Ma?" Mo Qi, who followed, was a little anxious.

"No, just a quarter of an hour." Ruyi probably understood the Queen's intention, and wanted to punish her but did not dare to punish her severely. In this quarter of an hour, could the Queen Mother and the Emperor still convict her if they knew about it? After all, no matter what she said, She is the mother of a nation.

Ruyi just didn't understand why the queen, who was so good before, suddenly became like she did at the beginning, doing things as haphazardly as she did at the beginning.

"Master, why are you kneeling here?" Eunuch Li Sheng ran over from afar.

"Yeah." Ruyi didn't say much.

However, who Li Sheng is, a casual inquiry will tell you that the emperor's business is more important at this time: "The emperor is waiting and said he would take you out for a walk. Please get up quickly and follow the servant."

Before Ruyi could make up her mind whether to continue kneeling, Eunuch Li Sheng and Mo Qi helped her up.

"Hurry, Master." Eunuch Li Sheng said impatiently.

Ruyi stopped being pretentious at this time and followed Li Sheng away.

"Would you like to change your clothes? I think this one on you looks pretty good." Emperor Qinglong saw Ruyi approaching and took a step forward to hold her.

He lowered his head and looked at the clothes he was wearing, because it was more convenient and refreshing to wear in a carriage, and he happened to be wearing the same color as the old emperor. No wonder, he didn't want to change again.

"Well, let's go. I know you want to wear couple clothes with me." Ruyi muttered in a low voice.

The two of them left Qingyuan with a few people in a familiar manner. It was unknown how many people followed Ruyi secretly.

Unexpectedly, when I was just talking to the Queen Mother about things on the other side of the sea, I would actually meet a blond and blue-eyed foreigner on the way.

Emperor Qinglong happened to be taking Ruyi shopping on the street, when two people in strange clothes walked across the street.A vacuum zone formed around those two people.

However, Ruyi heard someone at the stall say: "It's nothing strange. I heard that people on the other side of the sea look like this. It's more important to do business, so don't be stuck here."

After hearing this, I realized that there was actually overseas trade at this time?Although these people are curious about foreigners, they are not afraid.

"It's okay, they are just like us, just with different hair colors." Emperor Qinglong was afraid that Ruyi would be scared when she saw a foreigner for the first time.

"Hmm, are these people coming from Lianhai Port?" Ruyi was curious. As far as she knew, although Qingguo did not have a sea ban, it was not very keen on opening customs for foreign trade.

"Yes, there is currently only one connected seaport in Qingguo. However, Zhouhai Port, Shenwan Port and others have been prepared, and they will be released one after another in the future." Emperor Qinglong has always been very patient with Ruyi's questions.

In fact, before leaving the capital, Emperor Qinglong and Cheng Qian were busy with this matter, and Cheng Qian brought it up.It was probably stimulated by the mother-in-law's desire to sell Jiangnan Textile Factory's products overseas.

"It's great. After trade is opened, not only can we make a lot of money, but we can also absorb good aspects and goods from overseas." Ruyi deliberately acted like a money-lover, but she knew in her heart that only interoperability can promote progress. This is what the most important.

"Cheng Qian thinks so too?" Emperor Qinglong really admired this little woman.

"Yes, but the risks at sea are very high. We need to improve the craftsmanship of sea-going ships. Nowadays, most foreigners come to Qingguo, and few people from Qingguo go to sea." Ruyi is only worried that Qingguo's shipbuilding level cannot keep up.

"Indeed, it is not only the wind and waves at sea, but also the direction." Emperor Qinglong also admitted that the level of shipbuilding in Qingguo was still a bit behind.

"There's no rush to build the ship, I'll think about it again. As for the map, I can exchange information with people who have come to Qingguo." Ruyi thought that he didn't know much about the ship, and he had to wait for Xiaotian to wake up and ask Xiaotian to help.

The two of them continued shopping and walked to the two foreigners, only to realize that they were selling coffee beans.

Ruyi couldn't walk when she saw it. It had been a long time since she had coffee.
