The crown prince Chu Hongchen was grounded, all affairs were handed over to the Rui King Chu Hongze, and the wind direction of the court suddenly favored the side of the Rui King Chu Hongze, Hua Yan naturally learned the news quickly, she was happy to feel that she had helped Chu Hongze, and originally wanted to go to Chu Hongze to ask for credit, but Chu Hongze has been very busy recently, and she didn't have a chance to see him, so she naturally put this matter aside.

Hua Yan asked the maid to find her best clothes, and she also dressed up well, preparing to go to Chu Hongze tonight to invite merit, and tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, she also wants to invite Chu Hongze to see the Lantern Festival lanterns together.

In the study, Chu Hongze was dealing with the affairs at hand, these things had always been handled by Chu Hongchen before, and now that he had just accepted it, he was naturally a little unfamiliar.

"Is the prince here, I have something I want to talk to the prince!" Seeing Chu Hongze's guard commander standing at the door of the study, Hua Yan knew that Chu Hongze was in the study, so he naturally walked up happily.

"Concubine Fang, please go back, the prince is busy now, and he has ordered no one to disturb him." Chengfeng is not afraid of Hua Yan, and refuses with a businesslike attitude.

Although Hua Yan was annoyed in her heart, she also knew that Chengfeng was Chu Hongze's confidant, and she played a pivotal role in Chu Hongze's heart, and she didn't want to offend him for the time being, so she could only continue to laugh and say, "Trouble Chengfeng Commander to help spread the word, just say that I really have something very important to tell the prince." ”

Chengfeng was about to continue refusing, when he heard Chu Hongze's voice in the study, "Let her in!" ”

Hua Yan's face was happy, and he entered the study with a little pride, and saw Chu Hongze frowning, as if he couldn't dissolve any sorrow, standing in front of the desk and writing hard, the movements in his hands were smooth, making people feel comfortable when they looked at it.

"Lord Wang!" Hua Yan went in and called out delicately.

"What is the matter with this king?" Chu Hongze didn't raise his head in a hurry, and said in a cold tone.

Although she was a little annoyed that Chu Hongze didn't even look at herself, she also deliberately dressed up, but seeing that Chu Hongze was busy with official business, Hua Yan was relieved, after all, as a prince, the responsibility on his shoulders is not small.

"Lord, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and this is the first Lantern Festival that Hua Yan married and came to the palace, so Hua Yan wants to invite the prince to see the Lantern Festival lanterns together." Hua Yan has always admired Chu Hongze, and at this time, he has completely lost his usual arrogance, and he looks delicate.

"This king is not available!" When Chu Hongze heard that this was the case, he refused directly without raising his head, "If you don't have anything else to do, go out, this king still has a lot of things to do here." ”

Hua Yan was angry with Chu Hongze's attitude, and angrily pulled the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then regained his vigor after a while, "Oh, by the way, Lord Wang, do you know why the emperor suddenly grounded the prince?" ”

Finally, Hua Yan looked at himself with satisfaction As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Hongze's hand, which was originally struggling to write, suddenly stopped, and he was finally willing to raise his head to look at her.

"So...... You know? Chu Hongze couldn't help but be surprised, he had been thinking about why his father would suddenly punish the prince for a trivial matter, this is probably everyone's doubt! And he has been too busy these days, but he hasn't thought about this matter deeply, and only then did he remember this matter when he heard Hua Yan mention it.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Seeing that Chu Hongze finally noticed him, Hua Yan took a few steps forward excitedly, deliberately showed off his newly made dress, and slowly told the queen mother about Wen Dongling and the prince that she had investigated, and the queen mother took her to the emperor, so the emperor would punish the prince heavily for a trivial matter, but she deliberately omitted Wen Ruyi's part.

After listening to Hua Yan's words, Chu Hongze understood in his heart, and at the same time guessed the emperor's thoughts, he could only sigh that Chu Hongchen was too ruthless.

"Lord Wang, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, how about we go to see the lanterns together? The annual Lantern Festival lanterns in the capital are very beautiful. Hua Yan once again put forward her invitation, she felt that she had done such a big thing for Chu Hongze this time, and Chu Hongze would definitely change his opinion of him.

But before Hua Yan was excited for a few minutes, Chu Hongze picked up the pen and threw himself into the affairs in front of him, and his attitude towards Hua Yan was still as cold and boring as before, "This king still has a lot of affairs to deal with, if you don't have time, you can go by yourself!" ”

Hua Yan felt a little sad when she heard it, but this time Chu Hongze said something more, Hua Yan thought that Chu Hongze still had a better opinion of herself, she also understood in her heart, hesitated for a moment and then reluctantly resigned, "Okay, then I'll go by myself tomorrow, although the prince is busy with official business, but he also has to pay attention to his body, I'll go back, the prince will rest early." ”

With a little disappointment, Hua Yan left Chu Hongze's study, this time the Queen Mother told him again, since he married into the palace, he can't always follow his temper, knowing how to advance and retreat is the best, such a woman can also please men, especially for the children of the royal family, the woman in charge of the backyard is very important.

Back in his yard, the girl who was waiting for Hua Yan brought a specially boiled ginseng soup, Hua Yan drank a few sips, felt that it tasted good, so he looked up and asked, "This ginseng soup tastes good, is there anything else?" ”

Hearing Hua Yan's question, the maid couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied, "Back to the side concubine, there is still ginseng soup in the small kitchen!" ”

"Okay, you go and bring another bowl, and I'll send it to the prince in a while." Thinking that Chu Hongze's attitude towards her seemed to be much softer just now, Hua Yan decided to seize the opportunity, anyway, Chu Hongze has been working hard recently, and she just sent some ginseng soup to replenish his body.

After a while, the maid filled a bowl of ginseng soup and carefully packed it in a delicate basket, Hua Yan was very satisfied, and happily walked to Chu Hongze's study with his things.

When Hua Yan passed, she saw that Chu Hongze's study was still lit, she happily walked a few steps, and found that Chengfeng was not outside the door, but she didn't think much about it, and was about to go inside, but suddenly stopped when she heard the sound of talking inside.

Hua Yan stood at the door of the study, listening to the voices of Wen Ruyi and Chu Hongze inside, and his face suddenly changed.

Wen Ruyi actually just came out of General Li's mansion, and when she walked to Chu Hongze's study, she saw that the light was still on here, and she thought of what Mrs. Li had specially mentioned, so she came over on purpose.

And when Wen Ruyi mentioned Chu Hongchen's grounding, Chu Hongze said everything Hua Yan said, Wen Ruyi frowned and didn't say anything.

"Tomorrow's Japanese Festival, there must be a lively outside, I heard Sister Shuyi say that there are many lantern festivals in the capital, let's not go and see the lanterns together." Seeing that Chu Hongze has been so busy recently, Wen Ruyi wanted to take him out to relax.

"This ...... I still have a lot of things to deal with at hand, I'm afraid I don't have time, why don't you let Mrs. Li accompany you, okay? Chu Hongze and when he faced Hua Yan's invitation, he was like two people, and he was afraid that Wen Ruyi would be angry, so he deliberately explained, and his tone was gentle.

"No, I want you to go with me, this is the first Lantern Festival I've ever been here, can you bear to let me go alone?" Wen Ruyi was dissatisfied, pretending to be angry, with an angry expression on his face if you don't agree.

Chu Hongze was angry and funny in his heart, let me ask him before, why was he so sad because of a woman's emotions? But thinking about it, he has had too many things recently, and he really doesn't have time to accompany Wen Ruyi, and he thinks of Wen Ruyi's assassination, there are many people in the Lantern Festival, and he doesn't feel at ease if she goes alone.

"Okay, I promise you to be good, I'll accompany you to see the lanterns at night!" Chu Hongze was helpless, and it was rare for Wen Ruyi to look coquettish, which made him a little irresistible.

When Hua Yan outside heard this, she almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, Chu Hongze's diametrically opposite attitude made her jealous and hateful of Wen Ruyi to the extreme, and Hua Yan left directly angrily.

And the two people in the room didn't know that what they had just said was overheard, and when they got Chu Hongze's response, Wen Ruyi was naturally happy, "Okay, this is what you promised yourself, don't regret it, it's too late, I'll go back to sleep first." ”

Looking at the back of Wen Ruyi leaving, Chu Hongze's eyes were full of tenderness, and he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

After Hua Yan went back, she angrily threw the small basket directly, and stepped on it a few times, and the ginseng soup inside was suddenly destroyed, and the little maid on the side saw her go happily, but she came back with an angry face, and knew that things must not be going well, she stood aside with low eyebrows, and did not dare to provoke Hua Yan at this time.

Thinking of what she had just heard, Hua Yan was now eager to kill Wen Ruyi, she angrily smashed everything on the table directly, crackling and shattering to the ground, but she was still angry in her heart.

"Wen Ruyi, you are simply too deceitful!" remembered that Wen Ruyi had told her that she would make her the queen of Chu Hongze in the future, and now she actually seduced the prince like this, which is simply hateful, but she seems to have forgotten that Wen Ruyi is the rightful princess of Rui, and she is just a side concubine.

"Okay, you are Wen Ruyi, what you say is better than what you sing, you dare to deceive the county lord, you will suffer tomorrow." The anger in Hua Yan's heart was nowhere to be released, but she suddenly remembered tomorrow's Lantern Festival banquet, and she had a plan in her heart, thinking that she could have a good Wen Ruyi tomorrow and rub her sharp energy.

Thinking about it, Hua Yan's face drew a smug smile, whispered a few words in the maid's ear, and watched the maid go out in a hurry, and the mood was a lot more relaxed.
