Chapter Forty-Eight: Referring to Marriage
"Chu Hongze, isn't that very valuable, it looks so expensive."
Chu Hongze patted her gently on the head, signaling her not to speak.
"Your country has a heart."
The emperor's words basically mean that he has agreed to reconcile, and Mu Zirong stepped forward and bowed and retreated.
"Take it down."
After someone came to take these things down, the emperor looked at Chu Hongze.
At this time, Chu Hongze was looking down to listen to Wen Ruyi's speech, he didn't know what Wen Ruyi said to him, he looked at her and smiled dotingly, and naturally touched her head.
Such a harmonious appearance made others very envious, except for the woman sitting opposite them.
On the same day, the emperor gave Chu Hongze and General Li heavy rewards.
Because of this incident, many people came to visit Rui Wangfu every day, and Wen Ruyi also had a lot of invitations, she knew that these people just wanted to say a few more nice words in front of Chu Hongze, after all, now, the emperor values Chu Hongze very much, and the prince gradually made the emperor feel disappointed in him because of several stupid behaviors.
Therefore, it can be said that Chu Hongze is the prince who is most likely to be established as the future prince of the current emperor.
Chu Hongze also took this opportunity to win over some ministers who were highly used in the court, and General Li also had some connections, so Chu Hongze's power began to gradually expand, and he had a lot more military power in his hands.
These emperors are all in their eyes, and some people have begun to mention Chu Hongze's ambition to usurp the throne recently, although he did not say it explicitly, but the words revealed such a meaning, which made the emperor feel a crisis.
In order to be able to prevent such a thing from happening, the emperor thought of a person, the queen mother had mentioned to him more than once, Hua Yan likes Chu Hongze, perhaps, this will be an opportunity to contain Chu Hongze.
On this day, Wen Ruyi was developing a new drug in the house, Chu Hongze came to her, saying that the emperor had summoned them to enter the palace now, Wen Ruyi wondered, why did she take her this time?
But since the emperor had made an order, she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to agree.
After entering the palace, Wen Ruyi found that there was already a person inside, it was still a woman, and she didn't seem to be very familiar, but why did she feel that the other party seemed to be hostile to her, maybe she thought about it too much, they hadn't met.
"Here, give me a seat."
Chu Hongze led Wen Ruyi over and sat down, and when Wen Ruyi raised her head, the woman sitting opposite was staring at her, startling Wen Ruyi.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Hongze discovered Wen Ruyi's abnormality and asked her.
"It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable."
It's weird to be stared at like this, and the other party seems to be going to eat her at any time.
Chu Hongze smiled, stroked her head, and by the way, pulled a strand of hair that she fell next to her cheek to her ear, Wen Ruyi looked up and smiled at him.
They did this scene very naturally, as if it had become a habit, and this thought made the face of the woman opposite a little darker.
The emperor looked at this scene and said with a smile: "Being able to see Ze'er and Ruyi so affectionate, I don't know how to speak next." ”
"Father, just open your mouth."
Hearing the emperor say this, Chu Hongze knew in his heart and knew what the emperor planned next.
Sure enough, in the next second, I heard the emperor say: "The Queen Mother and I have mentioned it many times, saying that they want to point out Hua Yan to the sixth child as a side room, and I called you over today to ask your opinion." ”
How could Chu Hongze not know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this, it was just because his power had been expanding recently, and the county lord of Huayan was the person next to the queen mother, and he wanted to use her to contain himself? It's just ridiculous.
"I also ask my father to take back his life, and his son has promised Ruyi, and he will not take any more concubines in this life."
When Chu Hongze spoke, he lowered his head and looked at Wen Ruyi with a smile.
If Wen Ruyi hadn't known that he had never said this to him, he would almost have taken it seriously.
However, she knew that she should accompany him to act at this time, but...
If he really rejected the emperor, he would be even more suspicious.
"Well... So how do Hua Yan and Ruyi feel? ”
Wen Ruyi knew that she would suddenly be clicked on, and just as she wanted to speak, she heard the woman opposite speak.
"Hua Yan is all up to the emperor."
Good guy, if Wen Ruyi refuses the emperor now, wouldn't it mean that she doesn't understand human feelings and is too stingy, in this era, which of the royal children is not three wives and four concubines, why does she still have to be special?
But even if Chu Hongze is allowed to take her now, it's just that there is one more person living in the palace, if Chu Hongze is really interested in her, it will be even if she misunderstands him.
But these are not the point, the important thing is that Chu Hongze marrying Hua Yan can make the emperor relax his vigilance against Chu Hongze, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
"Where's Ruyi?"
Wen Ruyi glanced at Chu Hongze, and thought to herself: I'm sorry, Chu Hongze, I'll explain to you when I go back.
"The ministers also listen to the emperor, the prince is the sixth prince of Longteng Kingdom, and taking concubines is a common thing, as for the agreement that the prince just said, it was just a joke we made at the time, and the emperor doesn't have to care."
After Wen Ruyi finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Chu Hongze, he didn't need to look at it to know, he must have an ugly face now, he had never liked her to discuss this kind of thing with him, this time not only talked about it, but also agreed to him to take a concubine in front of the emperor, it is strange that he is not angry about this kind of thing.
"Okay, since Ruyi agreed, you, sixth child..."
Before the emperor could ask, Chu Hongze took over: "The minister will thank his father for the marriage." ”
Chu Hongze's face was pale, and everyone could see that he was angry now.
"Hua Yan also thanked the emperor for the marriage."
"Okay, Ze'er, your imperial grandmother and I both think that the sixth day of the next lunar month is good, you go back and prepare well, and Ruyi, as Princess Rui, you still need to pay more attention to this matter."
"Father, sons, sons, and ministers will do their best."
The emperor was very happy, chatted with them a few more words, and left, also wanting to leave time for them.
As soon as the emperor left, Hua Yan walked over to them, probably wanting to talk to Chu Hongze.
"Some matters of the marriage, this king will find someone to prepare for the marriage, and inform you when the time comes."
Chu Hongze left without looking back, leaving only the two women standing in place, Wen Ruyi smiled at her awkwardly, and then ran up to catch up with Chu Hongze.
"Chu Hongze, are you angry?"
No one answered her.
Chu Hongze really wanted to see what was going on in this woman's head, and even agreed to let him take a concubine.
"Don't be angry, okay?"
Still no one paid attention to her, Chu Hongze walked faster and faster, and soon Wen Ruyi would not be able to keep up with him.
"Oops—"
Chu Hongze was originally angry and walked quickly, but now he heard her voice from behind, and it seemed that he had fallen.
Chu Hongze sighed, but turned around, and when he looked at it, he saw her sitting on the ground with her legs covered, screaming in pain.
He frowned, strode over to her, and reached out to touch her ankle.
"Is it twisted here?"
Maybe he didn't even notice it, but his voice involuntarily softened.
Wen Ruyi didn't answer his words, but stretched out his hand and hugged her.
She clearly felt that his body held by her suddenly stiffened.
"You believe me, I don't want you to marry her, but only in this way can the emperor feel more at ease with you."
"Hmm."
Chu Hongze responded perfunctorily, and then wanted to push her away to see her feet, but Wen Ruyi hugged her tighter and was unwilling to let go at all.
Chu Hongze was helpless: "Does your leg still hurt?" ”
Wen Ruyi shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, do you believe me?" ”
There was a slight cry in the words, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"I've never distrusted you." Chu Hongze has always believed in her, and the only person who can make him unconditionally believe with all his heart and soul is her: "It's just that I don't want you to be wronged in order to help me." ”
"No, I'll just treat it as if there is one more person in the family, and I'm not wronged."
Wen Ruyi kept shaking her head, bent on showing her heart.
"Well, when she enters the mansion in the future, tell me as long as you are a little unhappy, you know?"
He was worried that she would carry it alone, and although she was able to handle it well on her own many times, he still couldn't bear to see her unhappy in the slightest.
"I know, who can bully me, if you have anything to do with her, I can't spare any of them."
Wen Ruyi pushed him away, stretched out his hand and raised his fist, and waved at him.
"Well, no one bullied you."
Chu Hongze said and looked at her legs again.
"Does it hurt here?"
Wen Ruyi shook her head again.
Chu Hongze pointed to a few more places, but Wen Ruyi still shook his head.
"I just lied to you, I don't hurt anywhere."
Chu Hongze didn't laugh angrily, stretched out his hand and scratched her nose.
The two of them laughed, and then Wen Ruyi stretched out his hand and took Chu Hongze back to Rui Wang's Mansion together.
The day of marriage soon came, Wen Ruyi really opened up wholeheartedly, from the layout in the house to the things needed in the cave room, all of which were purchased by Wen Ruyi himself, which frightened Yingniang, thinking that she was too sad, and immediately pulled her into the house to chat.
"Yingniang, you are too careful, as the princess of Rui Wangfu, it is right to help Zhang Luo."
"That's good, miss, even if the prince marries this county lord, the prince still loves you the most."
Wen Ruyi smiled sweetly: "I know, Yingniang!" ”
On the day of the wedding, everyone outside was urging Chu Hongze to get married, but he still sat in the hall and chatted with Wen Ruyi, which made the next person anxious.
In the end, Wen Ruyi urged him that it was time to get married, otherwise the county master would be in a hurry, so he left.
Wen Ruyi watched him leave, perhaps because she had been mentally prepared before, and she agreed this time, so she didn't feel so uncomfortable in her heart.
