Chapter XXVIII
I didn't expect his younger brother to give him such a set, as well as that Wen Ruyi, it seems that the two of them have reached a consensus to stand on the same front, that woman is still a little useful, she can find geranium grass, if she can stand in her camp, this is the best thing.
However, what he is worried about now is how he will go to the emperor to explain this matter, and he must plan it well.
Before Chu Hongze and Wen Ruyi arrived at the palace, they were stopped on the road, and the man said that he was sent by the emperor and asked King Rui and Princess Rui to follow him into the palace.
Wen Ruyi suddenly felt a little nervous, for so long, she hadn't seen the current saint, it was impossible not to be nervous, this kind of person had only been seen on TV before, and today, I don't know what the reason is, the emperor suddenly summoned the two of them.
Chu Hongze was very calm, he first thanked the father-in-law who passed the message, and then asked: "Father, did he say what he was doing to pass us into the palace?" ”
The father-in-law smiled: "The slave is just a messenger, and the specifics will naturally be known after the prince enters the palace." ”
Chu Hongze nodded, and then looked at Wen Ruyi who was standing aside, she still looked a little restrained now, and it seemed that she was a little frightened.
He took her hand, Wen Ruyi raised his head to look at him, and the two looked at each other.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
This time it's a rare time for him to call himself me, usually he is the king of this king, and that always makes people have a sense of distance, calling himself me, how good it sounds.
Wen Ruyi This is the first time he has come to this era to face the saint, looking at this huge palace, I can't help but sigh in my heart, it is really a palace, it is magnificent, and it is full of nobility inside and out.
After arriving outside the palace where the emperor was working, the father-in-law stopped and said to the two of them, "Please wait here for two people, and the servants will go in and report it." ”
As soon as my father-in-law entered the hall, he came out after a while and made a gesture of please.
Chu Hongze led Wen Ruyi into the palace, the emperor was bowing his head to work, and stopped his work when he heard the sound.
"Sixth, here."
"Father."
Chu Hongze took Wen Ruyi and saluted the emperor together, and after getting the emperor's permission, he sat down on the side.
"Sixth, I heard that the case of the Lin Mansion you investigated has already been resolved."
"Back to my father, it's thanks to Ruyi, because he and I can find clues to solve the case so quickly."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately set his eyes on Wen Ruyi, who was sitting obediently next to Chu Hongze.
"I have long heard that this daughter of the Wen family is beautiful and wise, and sure enough, the women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows."
Wen Ruyi felt that her face must be red again, did the ancient people know how to say this? I'm embarrassed.
"Back to my father, this is what I should do, being able to help Hongze share some affairs is what I, as a wife, should do."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and seemed to be very satisfied with Wen Ruyi's answer and her person.
"Since, Ruyi has solved such a big problem for me, I should be rewarded."
Wen Ruyi was also very happy, the nervousness of coming to meet the saint before was gone at this moment.
"It just so happens that the Western Regions have sent a batch of fine fabrics and some gold and silver jewelry, I will send someone to bring Ruyi over to pick some and take them away."
"Thank you, Father."
Subsequently, someone came over to take Wen Ruyi away, it seemed that he was a little uneasy, Wen Ruyi also glanced at Chu Hongze a few times before leaving, and the latter saw her turn back one step at a time, and smiled: "Go, I'll look for you later." ”
Wen Ruyi followed the man with confidence.
Chu Hongze retracted his smile and looked at the emperor.
The emperor just specially took Ruyi away, in order to talk to him alone, as for what to talk about, he didn't know very well, but he also roughly guessed something, what happened in Dali Temple, the emperor should have gotten the news.
"Sixth, I heard that a ridiculous thing happened in Dali Temple today, you were also present at the time, I want to hear your opinion."
Chu Hongze's face did not change: "What my father said is ridiculous, and it is not credible, that person just has evil intentions and wants to provoke the relationship between me and the imperial brother." ”
The emperor didn't reply, pacing back and forth, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chu Hongze was not in a hurry, he was waiting for the emperor to speak.
After a while, the emperor stopped and walked in front of Chu Hongze: "I am old, it's time to abdicate, but at this time, I don't want to see my sons kill each other for the throne, and even want to kill me." He turned around and continued, "This incident, whether it is true or not, can be regarded as a reminder to me. ”
Chu Hongze stood there and did not speak.
"Alright, you stand down, I want to be alone for a while."
"The retainers retired."
Chu Hongze pushed open the door of the main hall, and it wasn't until he completely walked out that he gently hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he smiled mockingly.
Sure enough, as he expected, after this incident, the emperor will definitely increase his vigilance against Chu Hongchen, and may also reconsider the candidate for the crown prince, this time, he won the bet.
The peach blossoms in the distance are blooming, and they are pink and tender, which is very beautiful.
Under the tree, a familiar figure came into view, didn't you go to pick up jewelry? How is it here?
Wen Ruyi was going to pick things with that person, but she wasn't interested in those things, so after picking a little and letting Wei Feng take it, she thought that Chu Hongze would not come out so soon, so she ran out alone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, she saw such a large peach blossom tree, she ran in, wanted to pick a few, bouncing, looking here, looking there, not noticing that someone was coming towards her.
"Is the princess having fun?"
Wen Ruyi was reaching for a peach blossom in a high place, when she suddenly heard a voice from behind, and almost didn't fall, but fortunately, Chu Hongze reached out in time to help her.
"Finished talking?"
At that time, when the emperor said that he would take her to pick a gift, she guessed that she wanted her to leave, and then whispered something to Chu Hongze, and sure enough, she picked out all the things herself, and he didn't come out inside, which further verified her conjecture.
"Well, it's time to go back."
Chu Hongze went to pick the flower that Wen Ruyi hadn't picked just now, and then pinned it to her hair, and as soon as she put it on, Wen Ruyi reached out and pulled it off.
"There will be people when I go back later, what does this look like?"
Wen Ruyi took the flower in her hand, and then walked away bouncing, looking in a good mood.
On the way back to the palace, in the carriage, Wen Ruyi looked out the window with his head propped up, and hummed a little song from time to time, which successfully made Chu Hongze laugh.
Isn't this girl just praised by the emperor? Happy to be like this?
"So happy?"
Wen Ruyi replied to him without hesitation: "Of course, I can tell you that I am a woman who has been certified by the emperor himself, don't mess with me." ”
After speaking, she was afraid that he wouldn't understand what certification meant, but she didn't bother to explain, so she waved her hand, "Forget it, you don't understand it when I told you." ”
After Wen Ruyi finished speaking, she began to hum a song and be happy alone, Chu Hongze was not angry, and let her go to enjoy alone.
After returning home, someone brought news and told Chu Hongze, saying that the princess's mother's family knew the news that the princess had entered the palace to face the saint today, and also heard that she was dealing with the unsolved case for the emperor, so even asked Wen Ruyi to return to the house early tomorrow morning.
Chu Hongze actually didn't want Wen Ruyi to go back to his parents' house alone, what kind of situation was there, he had already seen it that day, but he had some things to deal with tomorrow, and he couldn't accompany her to the past.
He went to talk to Wen Ruyi about it in the evening, and Wen Ruyi readily agreed, Wen Ruyi might have been afraid of Hu Yanmin and Wen Dongling in the past, but she was not afraid, and she hadn't done anything bad, what were you afraid of?
"If they embarrass you there, you can let Wei Feng notify me in time, and in addition, I will go to the Wen family when I am done here."
"Okay, got it, so far, there's nothing I can't solve? You can rest assured. ”
Chu Hongze also knows that Wen Ruyi is not like before now, but she is a woman after all, and the Wen family is really complicated, so it is safer to prepare in advance.
On the second day, Chu Hongze told Wei Feng a few words, and then went to deal with his own affairs early, when Wen Ruyi went out, he specially looked at Chu Hongze's absence, Wei Feng told her that the prince went out early in the morning.
In fact, the reason why Chu Hongze chose to go out early was also to solve the matter in hand as soon as possible, and then go to Wen Mansion to find her.
But Wen Ruyi won't know about this, she just thinks he's busy.
After arriving at the Wen Mansion, what surprised Wen Ruyi was that Wen Dongling was waiting for her at the door early in the morning, which scared Wen Ruyi, and she didn't really want to be told by Chu Hongze, a crow's mouth.
"My sister is here, and my sister has been waiting here for a long time."
Wen Ruyi didn't believe that she would be so kind, and didn't reply to her words, even Wen Dongling stretched out her hand to help her, but Wen Ruyi inadvertently avoided it.
Wen Dongling's hand stopped in mid-air, she was stunned for a few seconds, then withdrew her hand and sneered.
Sure enough, when I went to see the saint, people are different, so arrogant.
"What about my father?"
Wen Dongling said with a smile: "My father and mother are waiting for my sister in the hall." ”
Mother? Hu Yanmin? Wen Ruyi replied coldly: "That's your mother, not mine." ”
After speaking, regardless of Wen Dongling's face, he walked quickly in the direction of the hall.
Sure enough, as Wen Dongling said, Wen Qing and Hu Yanmin were waiting for her in the hall at the moment.
"Father."
Wen Ruyi only said hello to Wen Qing, and didn't even glance at Hu Yanmin, who was sitting next to Wen Qing, Hu Yanmin wanted to scold her for being ignorant, but Wen Qing spoke up first.
"I heard that you went to see the emperor yesterday?"
"Yes."
"You are now dealing with the unsolved case of the Lin Mansion for the emperor?"
"Yes."
