Chapter Eighty-Six: Warning
On the second day, Wen Ruyi accompanied Chu Hongze to deal with affairs, Wen Ruyi sat on the side, eating pastries sent by Qingning from time to time, and occasionally handed a little to Chu Hongze's mouth.
Chu Hongze was not impatient, although he didn't like to eat sweets very much, but he still took the pastry handed by Wen Ruyi.
"Aren't you going out today? Why haven't you gone yet? ”
"What? Don't you want me to be here with you? ”
Chu Hongze's hand that was flipping through the book paused, where would he mean this, she was here to accompany him, he was too late to be happy, but he was worried that she would be annoyed if she didn't have time to go.
"I don't mean that, since you don't go, stay here with me."
Wen Ruyi's words were just to tease Chu Hongze, but when he saw that the effect was achieved, he was about to go out.
"Then I'm out, you reminded me, I still have a lot to do!"
Wen Ruyi patted the crumbs that had fallen on his clothes while eating pastries, then picked up the plates on the table and prepared to go out.
"Well, don't get separated from Wei Feng and them, be careful."
"Got it."
Not long after Wen Ruyi left, the housekeeper came in, and he just came in after watching Wen Ruyi leave, which was ordered by Chu Hongze just now.
"Lord Wang!"
"Well, when the princess leaves the palace, you will call the side princess in."
"Yes!"
The housekeeper didn't know what the prince wanted to do, but he didn't want to ask any of his subordinates, so he could only do whatever the master said.
So, not long after Wen Ruyi sat in the carriage with Wei Feng and Qing Ning and they left, he went to Hua Yan's residence.
The door was closed, and the butler knocked on it.
"Who?"
The voice of a maid beside Hua Yan came from inside, the housekeeper ignored it and knocked on the door again, this time the door opened from the inside, and it was a maid who opened the door.
The housekeeper glanced into the room, where Hua Yan was sitting with his head on his shoulder.
"Side princess, the prince is invited!"
Hua Yan was woken up by the housekeeper's knock on the door, so she was impatient, but when she heard the housekeeper say that Chu Hongze asked her to go, she immediately smiled and was very happy.
"I see, I'll go right away."
As she spoke, she walked over and closed the door herself.
The butler was waiting outside, he couldn't go first now, he had to bring the princess over.
After a long time, the housekeeper had to wait until he fell asleep outside, and Hua Yan opened the door and came out, and he had already changed into clothes.
"Side princess, let's go."
The butler made a gesture of please at her as he spoke, and Hua Yan immediately walked in front, followed by the butler.
When he arrived at Chu Hongze's study, the housekeeper walked a few steps faster in front of Hua Yan and knocked on the door.
"Lord, the princess has arrived."
Soon, the back room responded: "Let her in!" ”
The butler immediately pushed open the door and let Hua Yan in, then closed the door and guarded the outside.
He knew that this time the prince was looking for the princess, so it was inconvenient for him to wait inside.
"Lord Wang!"
Hua Yan looked very excited and smiled at Chu Hongze, but the latter didn't have any expression, just leaned on the stool and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Lord Wang!"
Hua Yan called Chu Hongze again, and the latter made some movement and opened his eyes.
"Sit."
Hua Yan found a stool next to him and sat down, and the whole person looked very dignified.
"I heard that you quarreled with the princess yesterday?"
Hua Yan didn't expect Chu Hongze to mention this matter, it's okay not to mention it, she will be angry when she mentions it.
Yesterday, Wen Ruyi obviously didn't let her have a good time, and Cheng Cheng slapped her in the face in front of those minions.
"Lord Wang, it was Sister Ruyi's maid who started the trouble yesterday, and I just taught the slave a lesson."
"Son?"
"That's right, it's the Qingning next to Sister Ruyi, you may not know, that servant she is arrogant, she doesn't take me in her eyes at all, I see that my sister trusts her so much, and I don't know if my sister was deceived by that person that day!"
Chu Hongze narrowed his eyes and looked at her, this was a sign of his impatience, and he was about to lose his temper, but Hua Yan didn't notice it yet.
"But my sister too, quarreled with me for a servant, I really don't know what my sister thinks."
"Do you know this servant in your mouth, the princess, she treats this servant as a sister."
"I know, but isn't this just a formality? Who would really treat a servant as a sister and fold his identity. ”
Hua Yan could see from Wen Ruyi's tone of defending Qingning yesterday that this maid is indeed not simple for Wen Ruyi, but so what, by Wen Ruyi's side, the more she likes someone, the more she wants to bully.
"I know that you still dare to beat her, if you beat her like this, it is equivalent to beating the princess, and beating the princess is not taking the king seriously."
Chu Hongze was furious and threw a book on his watch on the ground to express his anger.
Hua Yan's expression changed greatly, and he no longer had the smugness he had just now, but was replaced by fear.
However, she never puts fear on her lips.
"What do you mean by this? Could it be that Hua Yan married into the palace and was not even as good as the maidservant girl beside her Wen Ruyi? ”
"This king didn't let you compare with the maidservants next to the princess, this king just thinks that you should reflect on it, why was the princess so angry yesterday, Wei Feng has already told this king the truth, you still don't admit it today?"
Hua Yan was so angry that she cried, she felt so wronged, she was bullied by Wen Ruyi yesterday, not to mention, and today she will be scolded by the prince again, she is a county lord, why should she suffer such treatment?
"In the prince's heart, Wen Ruyi is right in everything she says, and I'm just an unfavored side princess."
Hua Yan turned her face away, although she said so, but she still hoped that Chu Hongze could come over and coax her, she didn't know what she was inferior to Wen Ruyi, wasn't it because she married into Rui Wangfu later?
However, she knew Chu Hongze earlier!
"Okay, I don't want to have a second time about yesterday, and in the future, I hope you can understand that whether it is the princess or the servants around the princess, it is not for you to move!"
Hua Yan only felt that his legs were weak, and he staggered back.
No wonder Wen Ruyi was so confident yesterday and thought that she couldn't move her, it turned out that it was because Chu Hongze was behind her to help her, so, in this palace, she was the only one who was alone, right?
"This matter has passed like this, I won't punish you if you make a mistake this time, your two handmaidens have been punished for you yesterday, but if there is a next time, I will not be soft."
Then, Chu Hongze walked over and opened the door, and the housekeeper who had been waiting outside immediately came over.
"Lord Wang!"
"Send the princess back."
The housekeeper looked at Hua Yan who was standing in the center of the room, with tears on his face, a little embarrassed, but when he looked up at Chu Hongze's face, he hurriedly trotted in and went to Hua Yan's side.
"Side princess, let's go."
Fortunately, he only screamed, and Hua Yan moved, and when he went out, Hua Yan kept looking at Chu Hongze, but Chu Hongze didn't look at her.
At the same time, outside, Wen Ruyi was wandering on the street, Wei Feng beside him was already full of things, Qing Ning followed aside, looking at Wei Feng cautiously from time to time, and a little worried.
"Princess, he can't take Wei Feng."
With a wave of her hand, Wen Ruyi pulled Qing Ning to her side and asked her to look ahead.
"Don't worry about him, he can."
As soon as she finished saying this, Wen Ruyi heard someone shouting her name.
"Ruyi girl!"
Wen Ruyi was already very familiar with this voice, she had been very disgusted with it recently, and she felt very annoyed when she heard it.
Sure enough, she turned her head, and it was the man, the man she didn't want to see.
Wen Ruyi immediately turned her head, Qing Ning still wanted to look over, but Wen Ruyi broke her head.
"Ignore him, a very boring man."
Qing Ning didn't quite understand what Wen Ruyi meant, and just as she wanted to ask, the person behind her spoke again: "Ruyi girl, don't you remember me?" Oh yes, I should call you Princess Rui by now. ”
Wen Ruyi stopped, let go of Qing Ning, and turned his head to look at the person who spoke.
"What's the matter?"
"Do you remember me? I'm Mu Zirong! ”
Mu Zirong was very happy to introduce himself, Wen Ruyi was reluctant to admit that he remembered his name, and now he was also unwilling to pay attention to him.
"What's the matter? Don't you see I'm busy? ”
Wen Ruyi pointed to Wei Feng, who was full of things around him, and Mu Zirong looked at Wei Feng, and immediately understood.
"Are you guys buying New Year's stuff? I haven't spent the New Year in your Dragon Nation yet, can I spend it with you? ”
Wen Ruyi refused at the time: "No, the New Year is to be spent with your family, you ......"
Before she finished her words, she felt Chu Hongze's face sink, and Wen Ruyi suddenly reacted, Mu Zirong's home is not here, in the border far away from here, did what she just said make him think of something sad?
"I'm sorry, what I just said ......"
Mu Zirong regained his cynical appearance and smiled at Wen Ruyi: "It's okay." ”
Although Wen Ruyi said that she was pitiful for Mu Zirong, she still couldn't let Mu Zirong celebrate the New Year with them, otherwise, Chu Hongze would be angry.
"As you can see, I have a lot of stuff here, and if it's okay, I'll go first."
Wen Ruyi was afraid that he would mention going to the house for the New Year again, so he hurriedly prepared to leave.
"Ruyi girl!"
Mu Zirong wanted to catch up, and was just about to reach out and pat Wen Ruyi's shoulder, but was blocked by Wei Feng, and he could only retract his hand in a curt.
"Wei Feng, let's go!"
Wen Ruyi didn't want to have too much intersection with Mu Zirong, but it was not easy to think of him, he came to Longteng Country alone, although he didn't know why he hadn't gone back yet, but from Chu Hongze's daily early departure and late return, it could be seen that the matter between Longteng Country and the enemy country on the other side of the border was not over.
