Chapter Seventy-Six: Learn to Make Pastries
This sentence turned Chu Hongze down, yes, compared to Wen Dongling, Chu Hongchen did more wrong things, and every time he did those things, someone took the blame for him, he never received any heavy punishment, the most serious punishment was that time she was locked up for a few days, and she was soon released.
Chu Hongchen is still in front of his crown prince, and he is also doing some unsightly things behind his back, he is a real villain.
"Yes."
"On that day, I really regret not telling the emperor about the poison maker."
If she said it directly that day, maybe the current prince would not be Chu Hongchen.
"Don't worry, he will know these things in the future."
"That's right." Wen Ruyi suddenly remembered that there was one more thing she hadn't told Chu Hongze, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Chu Hongze: "Wen Dongling's mental disorder this time is also related to Chu Hongze. β
Although Chu Hongze had already guessed before, but in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, Wen Ruyi told them that she didn't know the cause of Wen Dongling's illness, so he dispelled the idea in his heart.
"What did you find?"
"The stimulated mental disorder is not the same as the mental disorder of being drugged, and the various symptoms shown by Wen Dongling show that she was drugged."
The person who took the drug, needless to say, the two of them also know in their hearts, who else can there be besides Chu Hongchen?
"And the baby in her belly?"
Although Chu Hongze didn't finish speaking, Wen Ruyi already understood what he was going to ask himself.
"The child is indeed gone, but I guess that if it is really Chu Hongchen who gave Wen Dongling the medicine, then the child should be under the effect of the drug and not there."
Of course, this is just Wen Ruyi's speculation, and she doesn't know the specifics, but what she knows is that Wen Dongling was drugged and went crazy.
"I see." Chu Hongze turned his head to look at Wen Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, thank you." β
Wen Ruyi did these things casually, not enough to worry about it, Chu Hongze is still thanking her so seriously, which makes Wen Ruyi quite embarrassed.
"Alright, it's time to eat."
Wen Ruyi stuck out his tongue at Chu Hongze, and then strode out.
In the hall, Hua Yan came back today, sitting on a stool, waiting for Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze to come to eat.
If it was like before, she would definitely eat first, and she would definitely not wait for Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze, but last time, Chu Hongze lost her temper because of this incident, and after that time, she didn't dare anymore.
"Yo, Sister Hua Yan is back?"
When Wen Ruyi ran in, she was a little curious when she saw Hua Yan, Hua Yan went to live with the Queen Mother for a few days, she thought that Hua Yan would stay for a few more days, but she didn't expect her to come back today.
"Isn't this thinking about Ruyi, sister you?"
When Hua Yan said this, his eyes were obviously looking behind Wen Ruyi, and then in the next second, Wen Ruyi saw Hua Yan running towards Chu Hongze.
"Hua Yan also misses the prince."
When Wen Ruyi heard this, he almost didn't stand firm, this Hua Yan is really thick-skinned, and he is not afraid of embarrassment.
"Eat."
Chu Hongze ignored Hua Yan, but walked straight towards Wen Ruyi and sat down next to her.
A servant next to him brought water and towels, and Wen Ruyi was about to reach over, but his hand was grabbed by the person next to him.
Chu Hongze held her hand with one hand, and took down the towel from the person's hand with the other.
"Chu Hongze, I'll come by myself."
Wen Ruzhi's subordinates standing beside him all lowered their heads and didn't look at them, only Hua Yan's side, staring at them tightly.
Wen Ruyi felt embarrassed and wanted to pull his hand out of his hand.
"Don't move." Chu Hongze scolded in a low voice.
Wen Ruyi didn't dare to struggle anymore, anyway, she was not the only one who was ashamed, and the person in front of him, he was the prince, he didn't feel ashamed, what was she ashamed of.
Chu Hongze held Wen Ruyi's hand, wiped it very carefully, and finally handed the towel to the next person, and then came to give Wen Ruyi a dish.
"No need, I'll clip it myself."
Wen Ruyi wanted to refuse again, but Chu Hongze didn't react, so she had to obey his arrangement.
Wen Ruyi didn't know why, but he felt that Chu Hongze was a little weird today, no matter what happened before, he didn't help her wipe her hands, although cloth vegetables are a common thing, but it is really strange to connect with some things today.
Wen Ruyi didn't eat this meal very well, after all, the person opposite kept staring at him, which was very strange.
Wen Ruyi didn't know if she and Hua Yan were allies now, but what she knew was that Hua Yan was still very hostile to her.
After eating, Chu Hongze took Wei Feng to the study, Wen Ruyi originally planned to ask him if he had anything on his mind, but when he thought of today, he was accompanying himself to solve Wen Dongling's matter, so there must be a lot of his own things that have not been resolved.
After a long time, Wen Ruyi put down the book in his hand, it was very lively outside, and Chu Hongze had a holiday with the people in the house, so they went outside to put lanterns at night.
Wen Ruyi glanced at Qing Ning, who was sitting next to her and was embroidering, and asked her, "Qing Ning, why didn't you go out to play?" Everyone in the house has gone, why don't you go? β
Dong Ning stopped what he was doing and glanced out the window: "Before I came to the palace, the slaves and maids often went to put lanterns, but today, I am a little tired." β
Wen Ruyi is also like this, she has been there twice before, and she has almost finished shopping all the things she can, so she feels that there is nothing fun, this time, she did not go out, but Hua Yan, who thought it was interesting, and went out with the people in the house.
However, there are not many people in the house now, and it is a little boring, do you want to do something?
Suddenly, she had an idea.
"Qingning, quick, follow me."
Wen Ruyi put down the things in Qing Ning's hand, and then took her hand and went out of the door, the destination was very clear, the kitchen in the backyard.
"Princess, what are you doing here?"
The kitchen door was locked, and she was a little annoyed, patted her head, and then looked at Qing Ning.
"Qing Ning, the housekeeper should be in the house, help me find him and open this door."
Although Qing Ning didn't know what her princess was going to do, she also agreed, and hurriedly ran to find the housekeeper.
After a while, Qing Ning came over with the housekeeper.
"Princess, what are you doing this big night?"
"Confidentiality." After Wen Ruyi finished speaking, he pulled the housekeeper to the kitchen door: "Quick, help me open the door." β
The housekeeper didn't plan to say it when he saw Wen Ruyi, and he didn't want to talk more, after all, it was the master's business, and he couldn't care too much.
After the door opened, Wen Ruyi pulled Qing Ning in, then turned to the housekeeper and said, "You can go and rest first, here I will lock the door when I leave." β
The butler glanced inside and nodded.
"Then the slave will retire first, and the princess will come to the slave if she wants to help."
As soon as the housekeeper turned around and was about to retreat, he was stopped by Wen Ruyi again.
"Wait, don't let the prince know I'm here."
Otherwise, there would be no surprises.
"The slave knows, is there anything else going on with the princess?"
"Nope."
After the housekeeper left, Wen Ruyi closed the kitchen door, and Qing Ning was confused all the way, not knowing what to do.
"Princess, what are we going to do?"
Wen Ruyi looked around the kitchen, then looked for what she wanted.
"Qingning, do you know how to make pastries?"
"The slave has learned it before, but I haven't done it for too long, so it may be a little rusty."
Wen Ruyi smiled at her, and suddenly felt that she had found the right person, she knew that Qing Ning was a woman who could do anything at a glance, just in the house, she would embroider, a few days ago, Qing Ning also embroidered a handkerchief for her, Wen Ruyi looked at her and praised her again and again.
"Qingning, you are too powerful, teach me quickly."
Wen Ruyi took out the flour from the corner and handed it to Qing Ning.
Qing Ning didn't expect Wen Ruyi to run to the kitchen this night, it was to learn to make pastries, and she really didn't understand this master more and more.
"Princess, if you want to eat pastries, just tell the people below to make them, you don't have to do it yourself."
"Qing Ning, anyway, I'm idle in the house, it's better to learn more crafts, like you, you can do anything, how good."
Wen Ruyi said that he was about to start the fire, but was stopped by Qing Ning.
"Princess, I'll do this, if I hurt you, the prince will punish the slave."
After Wen Ruyi heard this, he deliberately calmed his face, but he was unwilling to put down the firewood he was holding in his hand.
"Qing Ning, I will still do these things, I won't have anything to do, don't worry, even if there is really something, I won't let Chu Hongze punish you, I treat you as a friend."
Wen Ruyi said and prepared to burn firewood.
Qing Ning saw that there was no way to stop her, so she had to stop and go to the side to prepare the things needed to make pastries.
Wen Ruyi learned quickly, Qing Ning taught her beside her, and soon, the pastry was ready.
"Miss, is this going to be sent to the prince?"
Qing Ning saw that Wen Ruyi was carefully arranging the plate, and immediately guessed that this must be sent to the prince.
Wen Ruyi turned his head, glanced at her, and then lowered his head to deal with the things in his hand.
"yes, you see that? He's been busy lately, so make something to treat him. β
Seeing Wen Ruyi like this, Qing Ning covered her mouth and smiled, just when Wen Ruyi saw it.
"Laughing at what? What I'm saying is true. β
Wen Ruyi thought that Qing Ning didn't believe it, and deliberately emphasized it.
"Of course the slave knows that the princess is telling the truth, and the slave and maid laugh because she is happy to see that the princess and the princess have such a good relationship."
"Stupid or not!"
Wen Ruyi scolded with a smile, and reached out to dip some flour on his hand and wiped it on Qing Ning's face.
Qing Ning was defenseless and was smeared with flour.
"Princessβ"
Wen Ru saw Qing Ning's anxious look, and stopped teasing her.
