Chapter 24: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Taking advantage of this person's good mood today, it should not be too much to simply make a few more requests.

"Lord Wang!"

Chu Hongze stopped his chopsticks and looked at her, Wen Ru didn't think he was anything unusual, so he took another step: "I did you such a big favor, can you let me make a small request." ”

This time, Chu Hongze simply put down his chopsticks and looked at her, wanting to hear her continue.

"Oh? What request? The princess just said that there was no need to beat around the bush. ”

"Is it that I can go out of the palace by myself tomorrow?" Wen Ruyi was afraid that Chu Hongze would see her thoughts, so she said more: "I haven't visited here very well, I want to come out and see it myself tomorrow." ”

Spoiling must be useful!

"Well, the princess has done me such a big favor, and I should have agreed to this little request."

Hearing his answer, Wen Ruyi almost jumped up, but he was a little unsure, and asked, "Really?" ”

Chu Hongze smiled and nodded.

Wen Ruyi suddenly felt that the man in front of him was not so ruthless at this moment, and it was a little... Lovely?

Alas, it doesn't matter, anyway, he just agreed.

"What's the matter today, so happy to promise?"

"What? Don't want this king to agree? Okay, then..."

Before Chu Hongze finished speaking, Wen Ruyi, who was sitting on the stool opposite, suddenly stood up, and reached out to cover Chu Hongze's mouth.

Chu Hongze looked at her actions in surprise, as if he didn't expect her to make such a move at all.

"I tell you, you promised me, but you can't go back."

Chu Hongze couldn't speak, but he didn't want to reach out and pull down Wen Ruyi's hand, so he kept this posture all the time.

Wen Ru didn't say anything when he said that, only then did he realize how ambiguous his actions were.

"Ahem..."Wen Ruyi coughed twice in embarrassment, then suddenly let go of her hand and sat in her seat, the meal was almost finished, in order to relieve the embarrassment, she had to pretend that nothing had happened just now.

"You can't go back anyway."

Chu Hongze still didn't speak this time, but put down his chopsticks, and then called Xiao Er, ready to leave after settling the bill.

On the way home, Wen Ruyi was thinking about what he would do when he left the house tomorrow.

Wen Ruyi is an idle person, if she wants to stay in the palace in the future, if she doesn't go anywhere, just drink tea and enjoy the flowers, it is impossible, besides, she used to be a miracle doctor, she can't waste her craft just because she came here.

Perhaps, it is good to open a pharmacy here, and it can relieve boredom and make money, killing two birds with one stone.

"What do you think?"

Chu Hongze is much taller than Wen Ruyi, he lowered his head, just looking at her fingers and calculating something, he hooked the corners of his mouth, this woman will make people feel scared when she is smart, but sometimes, the stupidity that is inadvertently revealed is also funny.

"Thinking that it will definitely cost a lot of money to leave the house tomorrow."

Little money fans!

"What? The monthly money that the palace gives you is not enough to spend, is it? ”

Of course it's not enough, it's a lot of money to open a pharmacy, and you have to buy a house and buy medicinal herbs and the like, you must go back to see later, whether this Wen Ruyi has any savings before, it's really not good, those jewelry or something can be taken away, and it's not too late to redeem it when you have money.

"If the prince thinks it's too little, I don't mind if the prince adds a little more."

Sure enough, every time she wanted to tease her, she would be refuted by her reasoned and well-founded rebuttals.

"The princess's words, this king will think about it carefully."

Chu Hongze reached out and touched Wen Ruyi's head, this action made Wen Ruyi suddenly straighten his back, he seems to like this recently, maybe he thinks she is short, thinking of this, Wen Ruyi pursed his lips and snorted.

After returning to the house, Chu Hongze went back to the study, it seemed that he had something important to do, Wen Ruyi was also very knowledgeable, and went back to his room.

When Wen Ruyi entered the house, Yingniang was tidying up Wen Ruyi's room.

"Yingniang, didn't I say that? Just leave these things to Bai Zhi and them. ”

Wen Ruyi quickly stepped up to help Yingniang, asked her to sit down, and then poured her a cup of tea.

Ying Niang refused to sit down, let alone take the tea in Wen Ruyi's hand, Wen Ruyi knew that Ying Niang was an old-fashioned mind, and always clearly divided the relationship between master and servant, but this really made her uncomfortable.

Although it was very clear yesterday, Yingniang still had some scruples.

"Yingniang, didn't we already talk about it yesterday? In the future, you don't have to do these things, leave them to your subordinates to do, don't you treat me as your own now? ”

Wen Ruyi pretended to be angry, Yingniang treated her like her own daughter, she thought, the previous Wen Ruyi must also want to take good care of Yingniang.

"Miss, these things should have been done by the old slave, in the Wen Mansion before, you were the young lady, but now you are in the palace, you are the princess, no matter what, the old slave is a subordinate after all."

"But I treat you as my mother." Wen Ruyi sighed and continued: "Yingniang, I am alone in this palace except for you, no one treats me well. ”

Wen Ruyi stretched out her hand to hold Yingniang's hand, Yingniang held it back and patted it gently.

"What nonsense is Miss talking nonsense, you still have the prince." Ying Niang seemed to have something to say, but she just opened her mouth and didn't say it.

Wen Ruyi found out, "Yingniang, just say what you have to say." ”

Ying Niang sighed, and then said: "Miss, in this palace, the prince can have many concubines, but the princess can only have you, you have to get along with the prince, and strive to have a child as soon as possible." ”

Wen Ruyi was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect Yingniang to talk to her about the child, she had never thought about this aspect herself.

Besides, she and Chu Hongze are just an ordinary cooperative relationship now, and the relationship is impossible, where will the child come from? But in order to reassure Yingniang, she had to be vague first.

"Got it, Yingniang, don't fuck it too much, my heart."

Yingniang shook her head, "The old slave watched the young lady grow up, and the old slave naturally has to pay attention to the major events of the young lady's life, and the lady must also want to see the young lady live a happy life." ”

When it came to Wen Ruyi's mother, tears seemed to slide down the corners of Yingniang's eyes, Xu was afraid that Wen Ruyi would find out, so she turned her head sideways after she finished speaking, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand from time to time.

"Yingniang, I'm very happy now."

Wen Ruyi walked over and hugged Yingniang from behind, she knew very well that Yingniang loved her very much, to be precise, she loved the previous Wen Ruyi very much.

"That's good, that's good..."

In the courtyard outside, the sound of bird chirping filled the entire yard, and even spread to the inner room, but Wen Ruyi did not feel irritable and noisy at this moment, but felt a little relieved, Wen Ruyi before, I will definitely take care of the people you care about for you.

After dinner in the evening, Wen Ruyi first accompanied Yingniang to her residence, chatted for a while, and then went back to her house alone, originally wanting to plan tomorrow's trip, by the way, there is also a very important silver.

When Wen Ruyi was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets looking for a deposit, the door was pushed open? Wen Ruyi thought it was Bai Zhi, didn't look back, and continued to look at the things in the cabinet.

"Bai Zhi, help me."

The person who came didn't speak, and she didn't move, because Wen Ruyi didn't hear the footsteps, she felt a little strange, so she put down the things in her hand and looked back.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, you are startled when you see it, Chu Hongze? Why did he come to her in the middle of the night?

"You... What are you doing here? ”

Wen Ruyi was talking in a hurry, and at the same time stuffed the things in his hand into the cabinet, then closed the cabinet and walked over to pour water for Chu Hongze.

"Drink water."

Chu Hongze took the teacup, didn't look at it, and put it on the table again.

"What are you hiding?"

While Chu Hongze spoke, his eyes glanced towards the cabinet.

"No... I'm looking for something. ”

Wen Ruyi found a nearby stool to sit down and asked, "Why did you come to me without sleeping at night?" ”

Chu Hongze smiled playfully when he heard this, and said, "What? The entire palace belongs to the king, and with a room like yours, the king is still unstoppable? ”

Wen Ruyi was deflated, what he said was not wrong at all, this place was all his, and his food, clothing and housing now were his, so Wen Ruyi became more and more sure in his heart that he must run his own pharmacy well.

In case the alliance between them suddenly breaks off, she will have a place to protect herself.

"Of course I can come, but I'm going to rest, and it's not good for the prince to be here."

Wen Ruyi thought that Chu Hongze would want to leave quickly after hearing her words, but he didn't expect that not only did he not leave, but also sat down on the edge of her bed.

Wen Ruyi looked confused, what do you mean? He's not going to rest here tonight.

"Won't the princess come over to give the king a wide coat?"

After Chu Hongze finished speaking, he stretched out his arm and motioned for Wen Ruyi to come over.

Wen Ruyi is not stupid, she has made it clear to him before, the two of them are only limited to the current cooperative relationship, but they didn't say that they want to fulfill their responsibilities as a wife.

"Huh?"

After waiting for a long time, Wen Ruyi didn't come over, and he didn't even take a step away from the place where he was standing before.

"Lord, you can do it yourself, I... I'm inconvenient, my hands hurt. ”

After speaking, she covered the wrist of her right hand with her left hand and looked at Chu Hongze with a painful expression.

"It hurts, I really can't do it."

Chu Hongze, such a smart and strategizing person, how could he not know that Wen Ruyi was pretending to be like this now? Besides, her hands hurt, but he didn't notice any panic on her face.

Scold... Woman.

"The princess's injuries look very serious, do you need this king to ask the doctor to come and take a look?"

Chu Hongze tidied up his clothes, and then got up to go to the imperial doctor.

"I'm fine, you see, I'm ready to move."
