Early the next morning, the palace maids went out to buy, but when they came back, they were whispering, doing the work in their hands, while excitedly discussing the news they had just heard from outside, "Hey, have you heard?" The princess of our Rui prince actually announced to the world yesterday that she was going to marry the prince of the enemy country! ”

"Marry the prince of an enemy country? But hasn't the enemy country always fought a lot with our Longteng country? And the two countries have always been hostile, she has already married our prince, how can she marry the prince of the enemy country? What ......," the other asked with some confusion, his eyes full of surprise.

"Yes, or just say that this woman is prodigal by nature, how handsome and chic our Royal Highness King Rui is, there are many daughters of ministers in the court who want to marry him, he doesn't marry, but he thinks of such a woman, but this woman is not satisfied, and she betrayed our prince and went to another country, do you think this is considered treason?" Another person also said secretly, his eyes full of disdain.

The three little palace maids bent down to sift through the rice grains, turned around and were about to walk back, but when they turned their heads, they saw Chu Hongchen standing behind them, with a strange smile on his face.

The little palace maids were taken aback, and quickly stopped talking, with a panicked look on their faces, and they couldn't help but be a little scared in their hearts, although they heard that some time ago, the crown prince Chu Hongchen was wanted by the whole country because he wanted to plot wrongdoes, but ...... Now I don't know why I'm back in the palace again.

"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... "The little palace maids saluted respectfully, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Chu Hongchen's face was calm, he just nodded lightly, and his eyes became deeper and deeper, but he didn't say anything.

A few little palace maids saw that he was silent, and knew that his master had always been short-tempered, so it must be abnormal, a few people, you look at me, I look at you, and they immediately looked at each other, and their hearts beat drums.

After hesitating for a long time, one of the little palace maids turned her heart sideways, closed her eyes, and simply stood up and admitted her mistake with a smile, "That's right...... I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness the Prince, slaves and maids...... From now on, I will not be chatting in the palace, please don't condemn the slaves and maids......"

Hearing the voice, Chu Hongchen came back to his senses, but nodded with a smile, and said a little indifferently, "It's okay, you have been held up in the palace all day, and it is normal to chat, and this palace is not the kind of person who is not emotional, but in the future, don't talk about these things in this crowded place." ”

"Ah...... Yes, slaves and maids obey the prince's teachings! The three little palace maids were all stunned, even more surprised than Fang Cai, they couldn't help but secretly look at the prince from top to bottom, only to see that the prince was dressed as usual, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, but these words came out of the prince's mouth, it was the most unusual thing.

……

At noon, the sun outside the door is warm, the leaves are luxuriant, and there is a vibrant atmosphere everywhere, and now it is almost spring, everything is recovering, and all kinds of flowers are competing for beauty, which is really beautiful, but in this palace hall, the atmosphere is just the opposite.

The little palace maid who served behind the emperor couldn't help but shudder, and stood to the side with her head down, not daring to move, for fear of making some noise to alarm His Majesty and condemn her.

"How can it be!" The emperor shouted violently, and slapped his hand on the table, so that the teacup suddenly jumped up, and the tea spilled all over the table, wetting the table with a twist and turn.

Seeing this, the chief eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to take the fold away, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the little eunuch on the side to wipe the table clean.

The crown prince Chu Hongchen knelt below, burying his face in the shadow of his clothes, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

"In the past, I thought she was still a well-informed woman, but I didn't expect to be such a watery poplar, and in a blink of an eye, she married into an enemy country, which ...... She is the Rui princess of Longteng Kingdom, how can she marry the prince of the enemy country? It's just too much to say. When the emperor heard the news, his beard trembled with anger, and there was obvious anger on his face.

"Father, you are angry, it's not worth it to be angry for this kind of woman." Chu Hongchen said with a concerned face below, but deep in his eyes was schadenfreude.

"If you want me to say, my father, and the sixth brother looked away at the beginning, how could he still stay by his side with such a woman? At best, this matter is a loss of face for our royal family, and this is a big deal...... This...... The wife and concubine of our royal family of Longteng Kingdom married the prince of the enemy country, isn't this a defection to the enemy? This will definitely be the laughing stock of people all over the world. The prince frowned, and said with some concern for the country and the people, with a look of panic on his face.

As soon as the emperor heard the words "surrender to the enemy" and "laughing stock", he immediately stood up, and the anger on his face became more and more vigorous, "Surrender to the enemy? She dares! It just doesn't make sense! ”

The crown prince couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Father, don't you know, this woman used to hook up with the sixth brother when she was by the side of the sixth brother in the past, she and the enemy prince Mu Zirong also knew each other for a long time, I heard that the sixth brother had a big quarrel with that person for her at that time, and almost fought against each other." And this time, the prince sent an invitation, not only sent one, but also sent another to the Rui Wangfu, but the poor sixth brother was also infatuated, after hearing about it, he vomited blood on the spot, and he didn't wake up until now. ”

Although the emperor didn't care about Chu Hongze on weekdays, after all, it was his own child, and when the matter came, and he was deceived by a hateful woman like this, he was naturally angry, so he took the case and shouted angrily, "How can this be true, someone came to pass on my summons, and it was so rebellious, and sent envoys to the enemy country to understand the specific situation." ”

Outside the door, a guard suddenly rushed in, knelt on the ground and answered, "Obey Your Majesty's orders!"

Chu Hongze, who was standing under the court, heard the words of the emperor in the high position, and the look on his face was suddenly not good, he immediately stepped forward, opened his thin lips slightly, and said righteously: "Father, this matter must not be allowed, please think twice." ”

The emperor on the dragon chair saw Chu Hongze suddenly stand up, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely stiff, and the anger that had not yet disappeared because of Wen Ruyi suddenly rushed up.

Why did he cure the sins of the Wen family? It's not because of his uncompetitive son that a woman actually ran to question Mu Zirong, and even if he questioned others, he didn't want to ask anything yet, and he didn't want to be secretive when he did these things, so that others would know, and he would come to him with more oil and vinegar, if he didn't do something, his son might do something to disgrace the royal family for a woman.

The emperor looked at Chu Hongze angrily, and his eyes suddenly became cold, "Can't?" Where not? This Wen Ruyi first married you, Princess Rui who is being married to our royal media, and now she wants to marry Mu Zirong with great fanfare, this is not a woman's way, does she still look at the royal family? Just because of her disrespect for the royal family, it is not unreasonable that I can treat her all over the house. ”

The emperor glared at Chu Hongze angrily, and a paragraph of words popped out like pouring beans, and his heart was now full of anger, "If you can't tell the reason today, you will also suffer with the Wen family!" After speaking, the emperor threw down a piece of something from the hall and smashed it straight on Chu Hongze's smooth forehead.

Chu Hongze naturally saw the thing falling towards him, and he could naturally hide with his skills, but the emperor was extremely angry at this time, and he couldn't hide and didn't dare to hide, so he could only take the thing that the emperor smashed down, and his forehead suddenly turned red, and a small piece of skin was broken at the corner of his forehead, and a trace of bright red blood appeared.

"Father, I believe that Ruyi is not the kind of person who will betray the country, and Wen Shilang's family ...... Presumably, he is not a person who will betray the country. Wen Shilang has been in the dynasty for more than ten years, how could he suddenly defect to another country? This must be the treacherous plan of the enemy country, and all this is in Mu Zirong's arrangement, although his marriage with Ruyi is so fanfare, but Ruyi himself has never come out to say it, so it can be seen that Ruyi ...... It is likely that she has been controlled by Mu Zirong, so she has to agree to this marriage. Chu Hongze said, raising his eyes to look at the emperor who was still in anger, his eyes were pleading and anxious.

The emperor didn't say a word, just looked at the distorted facts that Chu Hongze racked his brains with a cold face.

The people who were hostile to Chu Hongze on the side naturally despised him for this appearance in their hearts, watching him exonerate Wen Ruyi in a serious manner, and couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart, Chu Hongze, you also have this day, it's really an eye-opener.

Looking at the emperor's face that couldn't see any emotion, Chu Hongze's heart sank, but he still restrained the expression that he shouldn't have, and continued: "Father, Mu Zirong knows that Wen Ruyi is the Rui princess of our Longteng Kingdom, and doing so is really disrespectful to the royal family. ”

The steady emperor sitting on the dragon chair looked at Chu Hongze, and his cold eyes looked at him a little weak in his heart, but the more he was at this time, the more he had to calm down.

"Heh, you think too much, Ze'er, you just stand here and talk about this? These worries of yours will only make me feel that it is the right thing to do to punish Wen Ruyi, look at you now, for the sake of a woman, what have you become? In front of the Manchu officials, I argued with me, and questioned my decision, do you really think that I am old and confused! ”
