Chapter 52: The two work together
Wen Ruyi was helpless, and before she could speak again, the Queen Mother became angry again.
"Hua Yan, I see that you don't know where you are wrong at all, you give me a good idea and get up again."
"Imperial grandmother, Hua Yan has not been in good health recently, and it is not good to kneel for so long."
Perhaps disappointed in Hua Yan, the Queen Mother sighed and said: "Hua Yan, in the future, you and Ruyi will study hard, learn how to become a qualified side princess of Rui Wangfu, this kind of absurd thing is not allowed to be committed again in the future, if there is a next time, the mourning family will never be spared." ”
Hua Yan was originally a very arrogant person, but now that he was hurt by Wen Ruyi and lost face in front of the Queen Mother, he was naturally uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say anything now, so he could only answer respectfully.
"Got it, Imperial Grandmother, Hua Yan knew that he was wrong."
"Okay, let's have a meal with the mourning family later, and then go home."
Both agreed.
After that, the meal was quite harmonious, and then Wen Ruyi and Hua Yan said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left.
As soon as he came out, Hua Yan strode forward, completely ignoring Wen Ruyi behind him.
Not long after returning to the house, Chu Hongze came to look for her.
Wen Ruyi is pouring tea, today is tired enough, and he uses his brain too much.
"Coming back?"
Wen Ruyi took a sip of water, put down the teacup and grinned at him.
Seeing her stupid look, Chu Hongze reached out and touched her head, and smiled.
"I shouldn't have been wronged."
"Of course, not only that, but the imperial grandmother also praised me!"
Wen Ruyi raised a smug little look at him, looking like he wanted to be praised.
Chu Hongze didn't worry too much before she went to see the Queen Mother, and sure enough, she was still the same gentle and unafraid look, except for the last time he saw her in the frontier, her helplessness and worry.
He was really surprised at the time, but he knew that she was doing this because she was worried.
There has been no progress in the relationship between Wen Dongling and Chu Hongchen, and Hu Yanmin often urges her, wanting her to hurry up and marry Chu Hongchen, but in the recent situation, she really has no way to mention this matter to Chu Hongchen.
Chu Hongchen's military power has been greatly weakened, but Chu Hongze has a lot of power on his side, and most of the troops of the court are also in his hands, Chu Hongchen made a fool of himself in front of the emperor because of a few things last time, and probably the emperor will not pay too much attention to him.
A few days ago, she learned that Chu Hongchen married the side room, but she didn't seem to be favored, and she heard the people around the Queen Mother say that the lord of Huayan County also came to the Queen Mother to complain, and this time it was wonderful.
She sent someone to deliver a letter to the county lord of Hua Yan, in which she told her that she knew that the county lord hated Wen Ruyi, so there was a way to help her get rid of Wen Ruyi, and she made an appointment to meet her in the restaurant.
Wen Dongling waited for a long time in the agreed place and didn't see anyone coming, she thought that she had misestimated, but she didn't expect that just as she was about to leave, the lord of Huayan County came to the appointment.
"Lord Hua Yan?"
They had also met a few times at banquets in the palace, but they did not have any intersection, and this was the first time they had officially met.
"The letter you gave me?"
Hua Yan walked in and sat down, glancing at Wen Dongling by the way.
"Well, although it is the first time I have met the county lord, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we all have a common enemy."
Wen Dongling sat down opposite Hua Yan, poured her a cup of tea, handed it to her, and the other party took it and put it on the table.
"What is the relationship between you and Wen Ruyi?"
"I almost forgot to introduce it, my name is Wen Dongling, and I am Wen Ruyi's sister, but don't get me wrong, the two of us have nothing to do with each other, I am the same as you, I only regard her as an enemy."
Hua Yan didn't understand, and she didn't want to delve into it, since she also regarded Wen Ruyi as an enemy, it stands to reason that the relationship between the two of them should be cooperative.
"You said in the letter that there is a way to get rid of Wen Ruyi, what is the way?"
As soon as Wen Dongling heard this, he knew that this Huayan County Lord was already moved.
"I have my own plans for these."
Hearing what Wen Dongling meant, he didn't plan to tell her about their plan, Hua Yan slapped the table and got up.
"Since you have a plan, why are you contacting me for now?"
Hua Yan was about to leave, but Wen Dongling was not in a hurry, and slowly spoke: "I called you here, there is a reason to ask you to come, and if you cooperate with me, it depends on your intentions, county lord." ”
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Hua Yan stopped.
"What do you want me to do?"
Wen Dongling walked over and stood still in front of Hua Yan.
"It's very simple, my current relationship with Wen Ruyi will definitely not be trusted by her, she won't want to see me, and I can't get close to her, so I need you to help me bring her into the palace."
Hua Yan now regarded Wen Ruyi as an enemy, and it was the kind of hatred that he wanted to make her disappear now.
"Can you really get rid of Wen Ruyi?"
Hua Yan didn't know Wen Dongling very well, and she didn't know if she had such an ability, but now she was bent on getting rid of Wen Ruyi, even if it didn't work, she could try a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"Of course, she will definitely not be able to hide this time."
Seeing the confidence on her face, Hua Yan was stunned for a few seconds and smiled at her: "Then wait for your good news." ”
So, Wen Dongling wooed Hua Yan in this way, and Hua Yan began to change his attitude since he returned home that day, and wanted to have a good relationship with Wen Ruyi.
"Sister Ruyi, let's go into the palace together tomorrow, last time the imperial grandmother said she wanted to see us."
Wen Ruyi's attitude towards Hua Yan is actually quite curious, she is a very proud person, why did she suddenly succumb so easily this time? Maybe you have some little idea in mind!
"Haven't we only seen each other for a long time?"
Did she say something to the Queen Mother again this time? I won't sue again, but she doesn't seem to have had any arguments with her during this time.
"If my sister doesn't want to go, then I'll go alone tomorrow, and if the imperial grandmother asks about my sister, I will find an excuse for my sister to explain to the imperial grandmother."
Wen Ruyi cut in his heart, agitating the law? But this time she took the Queen Mother out to talk about it, it seems that it is really inappropriate not to go, since this is the case, let's go, she is not afraid of what this Huayan County Lord will do.
Because this is not the first time to see the Queen Mother, Wen Ruyi did not tell Chu Hongze about it, recently due to the expansion of military power, he has become more and more busy, every day that is, at dinner in the evening, he will rush back to accompany her to eat, and then he has to go back to the study to deal with things.
As long as it's not a particularly serious matter, Wen Ruyi thought, so she didn't need to tell him.
The next day, when Wen Ruyi and Hua Yan went out, Chu Hongze had already gone out.
It just so happened that when the time came, he would want to go with her.
Hua Yan was very quiet today, and she didn't speak along the way, let alone sarcastically Wen Ruyi, which made Wen Ruyi even more puzzled, when she mentioned entering the palace yesterday, wasn't she very happy? Why are you really going to enter the palace, and you're still unhappy?
After entering the palace, the carriage did not go towards the queen mother's residence, but went in the other direction, Wen Ruyi opened the curtain and looked at it, only to feel that this place was a little familiar.
"Didn't we go to the Imperial Grandmother? Where is this going? ”
Hua Yan pretended to be surprised, and also lifted the curtain to look out.
"Oh, Sister Ruyi, I forgot to tell you, I made a new friend a few days ago, so I'll take you to meet her today, and then go to the imperial grandmother later, how about it?"
She said so, even if Wen Ruyi had a big opinion, she was embarrassed to speak, but she looked at this road and felt more and more familiar.
Just when she was about to arrive, Wen Ruyi suddenly remembered where this was, this was the prince's residence.
"What are you doing here?"
Wen Ruyi suddenly became wary of Hua Yan.
"A friend I just met the other day, and she said she lives here."
"Do you know where this is?"
Wen Ruyi doesn't know if she is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, who doesn't know that King Rui and the crown prince are divided into two factions, and both sides are incompatible, and no one can tolerate anyone.
However, Hua Yan now told her that there was someone on the prince's side who wanted to be friends with her, and it was hard not to suspect that there was a trap.
However, Hua Yan didn't seem to notice, she still didn't know anything.
"I know, Prince's Mansion."
Before Wen Ruyi could ask again, Hua Yan got out of the carriage first.
After that, Wen Ruyi saw clearly that the person standing at the door of the prince's mansion was her sister Wen Dongling.
Wen Ruyi understood in her heart that this was not the Queen Mother looking for them at all, but Wen Dongling and the Prince were looking for them, and maybe it wasn't her and Hua Yan, it was probably Hua Yan and Wen Dongling who joined forces to bring her over.
Now that they have arrived at the door of the house, they will not allow it to go back at this time, so in this case, let's go over and see what tricks they are playing.
"My sister is here too?"
Wen Ruyi got out of the carriage, and Wen Dongling's voice came.
Wen Ruyi didn't show any dissatisfaction, but looked at her naturally: "It's not Sister Hua Yan who said that she met a new friend and wanted to introduce it to me, but I didn't expect it to be Sister Dongling!" ”
Wen Dongling covered her mouth with a smile: "This shows that it's all fate, please come in quickly, Your Highness is waiting for you!" ”
Wen Ruyi's face sank after Wen Dongling turned around, the prince was also involved in this matter? It's no wonder that Wen Dongling is doing things for the prince, so there is nothing strange about it.
Wen Ruyi followed Wen Dongling into the house, and the prince was really waiting for them inside, how could Wen Ruyi not see that this reception was a Hongmen banquet, but since they wanted to play, then she would play with them.
"It's really an honor for me to be here today."
The prince smiled when he spoke, Hua Yan's abnormality today continued, she did not answer the prince's words, but walked to the side and stood, I don't know if she was worried that she would show a flaw.
