Wen Ruyi didn't see Hua Yan when she came to eat at night, Chu Hongze asked her to eat first, and she didn't have to wait for her to come.

After a while, she was late, and when she came, she saw Wen Ruyi's face change suddenly, but when she saw Chu Hongze on the side, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

As soon as Hua Yan sat down, Chu Hongze slammed his chopsticks on the table.

"How long have you been here, and have you had to wait for dinner? And there are no rules. ”

Hua Yan was taken aback, his face was pale, but he didn't dare to say anything, he was very aggrieved.

"I..."

"If you really think that the dishes in the palace are not appetizing, I will let people not prepare your share in the future."

Hua Yan didn't expect things to be like this suddenly, her eyes were red, and she looked at Chu Hongze: "It's not unappetizing, I'm sorry, it's because I don't know the rules and I'm late." ”

Chu Hongze ignored her, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very awkward for a while.

Wen Ruyi actually didn't want to care, but Yingniang pushed her behind her back, probably signaling her to say a few words.

"That's... Forget it, Hua Yan is also just here, maybe she doesn't understand these rules yet, so let's just eat. ”

Wen Ruyi's words are actually the same as not saying them, but it seems that as long as Wen Ruyi's words are spoken, Chu Hongze will like to listen to them very much, so this time, it is no exception.

Chu Hongze picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating again, and Hua Yan on the opposite side saw that the atmosphere had eased a little, so he dared to pick up the chopsticks in front of him to eat.

But in her heart, she was even more dissatisfied with Wen Ruyi, why did she listen to what she said, but she could only get his cynicism, she didn't believe that it would be like this, she must prove that she also has a status in Chu Hongze's heart.

In the evening, Chu Hongze worked in the study, and Wen Ruyi prepared a small snack to look for him.

knocked on the door, Chu Hongze glanced at the figure by the door and smiled: "Come in!" ”

Wen Ruyi pushed open the door, put the snack in his hand on his table, and then moved a stool to sit beside him.

"What's wrong? Something? ”

"No, I'm just here to see if anyone is looking for you."

Chu Hongze immediately understood, who else came to him? She was just worried that Hua Yan would come to him.

"Don't worry, no one."

Wen Ruyi smiled: "Well, I know." ”

Chu Hongze raised his head, looked at her, saw a smile in her eyes, and looked at him with a smug face.

"I heard that Hua Yan had a fight with you in the backyard today?"

Wen Ruyi retracted his smile, knowing that someone would tell him about it, but there was nothing bad to admit, besides, she provoked herself first.

"Well, she reminded me!"

"Oh? Reminder what? ”

Chu Hongze seemed to be interested.

"Remind me to pay attention to the maids around me, in case any of them are taken by you at that time, my position will not be guaranteed."

Chu Hongze listened to it and felt that this sentence was so sour.

"What did the princess say?"

Wen Ruyi pouted: "I said, even if the prince takes a fancy to which of my maids, it is also the blessing of this maid, I think it's very good." ”

"Wen Ruyi!"

Wen Ruyi looked at him angrily and laughed.

Chu Hongze retracted his anger, how could he be led away by this little girl again, he will always take the bait again and again for her little tricks, as if he is not tired of it.

"It seems that the quarrel is not a loss."

Chu Hongze had long expected this, he seemed to have never seen her lose in quarreling with people since he knew her, so it was okay to save a worry.

"That's it!"

Chu Hongze smiled and brushed her hair.

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open, and Hua Yan stood at the door, and saw the affectionate two people in the room at a glance.

Chu Hongze's face changed suddenly, and he looked towards the door dissatisfied, and after seeing the person clearly, the displeasure in his eyes was even more clearly visible.

"I just told you about the rules during the meal, what's the matter? Forgot about it so quickly? ”

Hua Yan was stunned at the door, neither advancing nor retreating, just standing there like this.

"I..."

Wen Ru's opinion knew that Chu Hongze was going to lose his temper again.

"Okay, Hua Yan, go quickly, don't do it again next time."

Hua Yan obviously didn't appreciate Wen Ruyi's affection at all, and still stood there, not coming in or leaving.

"Are you waiting for me to invite you out?"

Chu Hongze was not as kind as Wen Ruyi, he yelled loudly at the person at the door.

Hua Yan was startled by Chu Hongze's voice, bit her lip and ran away, before leaving, Wen Ruyi seemed to see her crying.

Oh, my God? She won't blame her for this again, she is really wronged.

"Why are you so fierce to people?"

When Chu Hongze heard this, he looked down at her and raised his eyebrows at her: "What?" If you think I'm not good to her, then I'll be nice to her next time. ”

"Hey, you know I didn't mean that, she must be complaining about me again this time, it's really a woman's heart, I can't guess."

"It's not your fault, what are you doing to blame you?"

Chu Hongze obviously doesn't understand the psychology of women, Wen Ruyi happens to be free today, so let's explain it to him.

"She likes you, no matter how much you scold her, she won't think it's your fault, on the contrary, she will think that I instigated you."

Although Chu Hongze couldn't understand too much why this was the case, he didn't want to delve into it, since this was the case, it would be good for him to remain indifferent in the future, which might be good for everyone.

On the other side, after Hua Yan ran back and closed the door, she lay on the table and cried, her personal maid was at a loss, and she didn't know whether to come forward to persuade her.

After her mood stabilized, the maid dared to speak: "County Lord, don't be sad, it's that woman who is angry and proud." ”

Sure enough, it was the maid next to the lord of Huayan, and the princess was called the woman who said it directly, if Wen Ruyi was here, she would have to teach her how to write the two words.

"Well, you're right."

Lord Hua Yan raised her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, she really shouldn't be angry now, the one who wants to see her angry and ruined must be that woman, she can't let her succeed.

"County Lord, do you want us to go back to the palace tomorrow and mention this matter to the Queen Mother."

In fact, the lord of Huayan County has not thought about it, but she has only been married for a long time, and now she will go back to the palace to complain to the queen mother, which is too shameless, and I am afraid that she will be laughed at by those palace people, which is not worth it.

"No, let's talk about it in a few days, the most important thing at the moment is how to get the prince to come to me, as long as we have this reputation between us, everything will be easy to say."

"What does the county lord want to do?"

Hua Yan had already planned: "Help me buy something tomorrow, remember, this matter can't be discovered by anyone." ”

"What does the county lord want to buy?"

After she asked, she tilted her head to the side, and Hua Yan whispered a few words in her ear, and she nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Well, okay, the slave knows."

On the night of the second day, Hua Yan learned from the housekeeper that Chu Hongze was alone in the study, so she made tea, made some snacks by herself, and then planned to bring these things to the study.

This time, she knocked on the door, and to her delight, the people inside didn't turn her away.

However, when she pushed the door in, Chu Hongze didn't raise her head to look at her, which made her a little disappointed.

Fortunately, it was already a big breakthrough in their relationship that he let her into the study, and she was already very satisfied, and if it worked out, then after tonight, their relationship would be even closer.

"Something?"

When Hua Yan heard his words, he hurriedly put the snacks and tea in his hands on his table.

"These are all made by me, a few days ago I did something unruly, I came today to apologize to the prince, I hope the prince can forgive."

"You should go and tell the princess this, not come to me."

How could Hua Yan go to Wen Ruyi to apologize, it was impossible to think about it, but now, she had to agree first, and then whether she went or not was a later story.

"Sister, I'll go tomorrow, do you want to taste these snacks I made first, yes, and this tea, it's me..."

"It's okay, you just go out."

Before Hua Yan finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Hongze's words, this is to drive her away, but her purpose has not been achieved today, how can she leave?

"Do you want to try it first, it's delicious."

As she spoke, she reached out and took one and handed it to Chu Hongze.

Chu Hongze didn't even glance at it: "Since you don't leave, the king just has something he wants to ask you." ”

Hua Yan put the pastry in his hand on the plate, and then stood in front of Chu Hongze, waiting for his next words.

"If the prince has anything to ask, just ask."

Chu Hongze nodded, walked out of his seat, and fiddled with the flowers and plants on the table for a while.

"Today, the king's men told the king, Your handmaid has gone out of the house."

Hua Yan panicked, and the hand holding the handkerchief almost lost strength and dropped the handkerchief to the ground.

"I don't know about this, I'm preparing these pastries for the prince today, and I don't know where my maid went."

Hua Yan tried to keep her calm as much as possible, she couldn't let him see her panic.

"Really?"

Chu Hongze turned around and walked towards her and slowly approached her.

Hua Yan's hands holding the handkerchief were stirred together, and Chu Hongze glanced down and hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Nervous about what? And what didn't the king's people find? Or did your handmaid do something not so good? ”

"No... No, I don't know. ”

Chu Hongze sneered in his heart, still don't admit it?

He walked over to the table, picked up the cup of tea she had just brought in, lifted the lid, and passed it to his nose and sniffed it.

Hua Yan's heart was about to jump to her throat, and she didn't know if she had been discovered by Chu Hongze.

"Bang—"

It was the sound of a cup being thrown on the ground and shattering, Hua Yan was startled and took two steps back.

"Don't you admit it yet?"

Hua Yan stammered: "Admit what? What is the prince talking about? I... I..."

"Presumptuous!" Chu Hongze waved his hand, and all the snacks on the table fell to the ground.

"Don't you really know what's in this tea? Do you think this king doesn't dare to do anything to you? So you have the audacity to dare to drug this king in tea! ”
