Chu Hongze was silent for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, don't think about it, eat first, it's nothing, it's just my own reason." ”

Wen Ruyi was really a little surprised at this time, neither the court nor her mother's family, so what else could it be? She really can't think of anything else that she can do with living a reclusive life now?

Seeing that Chu Hongze didn't want to say more, Wen Ruyi also accepted the words, and waited for the meal to be finished.

The two of them sat at the dining table with their own thoughts and finished eating an absent-minded meal, and when the palace people removed the meal, Wen Ruyi glanced at Chu Hongze and waved his hand to the others: "Okay, you all go down." ”

Yingchun was a little worried, but he was helpless, knowing that the emperor had something important to say, so he had to lead the other palace people down.

And after getting along with each other during this time, Yingchun was also promoted from the little palace maid to the first-class palace maid, and the affairs in the Feng Palace are basically up to her, and she naturally arranges everything in detail.

After the palace people retreated, there were only two of them left in the palace, Wen Ruyi personally poured a cup of tea for him, and said: "Let's talk about it, it's not the same thing to hold it alone, maybe I can help with anything?" ”

Chu Hongze looked at Wen Ruyi's beautiful side face, hesitated for a while, and then reluctantly said: "Mu Zirong proposed to send an envoy to Longteng Kingdom." ”

Wen Ruyi was stunned, obviously blinked and looked at Chu Hongze as if he couldn't believe it: "Just ...... This one? ”

Chu Hongze glared at her powerlessly, and then took it back without any temper, with a rare look of true feelings, and said a little childishly: "Anyway, I don't want to see him, don't look at him." ”

Of course, this is impossible, putting aside personal grievances, Mu Zirong represents not him alone, but a country, and now as the queen of Longteng Kingdom, she can't do everything according to her own preferences, and she can't do anything less, and the people she should see ...... Naturally, you can see it.

Looking at Chu Hongze's awkward appearance, Wen Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, patted his hand gently, and said comfortingly: "Okay, since it is a national matter, we should also put our personal feelings aside for the time being, you are the emperor now, you can't be rash, you must have the bearing of being the king of a country, and you have to set an example for the people of the world." ”

Chu Hongze looked at her look of not caring at all, and even put up a stand to persuade himself, and couldn't help but sigh: "I suddenly feel that being an emperor is not a good thing." ”

Hearing this, Wen Ruyi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, she probably knew the current situation, he was just angry when he complained, Longteng Kingdom couldn't make enemies with other countries at this time, and naturally couldn't turn away a prince like Mu Zirong, for the sake of a stable life for the people of a country, Chu Hongze had to be wronged even if he was unhappy.

Thinking about it like this, Wen Ruyi was also a little distressed about Chu Hongze.

It's not easy for anyone, it's not easy for anyone, even the emperor who holds the world has things that he can't help himself.

……

Going to another country is not a trivial matter, and all aspects need to be carefully prepared, neither can you lose your own country's bearing, nor can you let others feel that you are easy to bully.

Mu Zirong accepted the holy decree in the scorching heat, but he didn't set off until early autumn, and when he arrived in the Dragon Teng Kingdom, it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival.

Chu Hongze specially sent a minister to greet him, but he did not meet Mu Zirong that day under the pretext of being unwell.

Wen Ruyi looked at Chu Hongze, who was hiding in the Feng Palace and begging for purity, and shook her head helplessly, but she didn't persuade her, it doesn't hurt for an emperor to be a little petty occasionally, she knows that Chu Hongze is not an emperor who doesn't know the rules.

It's just that this can be avoided on the first day, but the reception banquet on the second day can't be hidden, and Wen Ruyi, as the queen, also needs to attend to show respect for the prince of a country.

When he got up early in the morning, Chu Hongze was unhappy, and after listening to Zhao Gonggong's repeated urging, he was even more impatient, and finally Wen Ruyi coaxed him out softly.

On the way, Chu Hongze stubbornly took Wen Ruyi's hand and didn't let go, and whispered: "If he talks to you at that time, don't pay attention to it, just call me something." ”

Wen Ruyi was a little helpless: "I am the queen." ”

The queen, the mother of the world, represents the face of the royal family, how can she embarrass the guests who come from afar? How can you ignore the guests?

Hearing this, Chu Hongze pursed his lips, the expression on his face became more and more unhappy, and he stopped speaking directly.

Wen Ruyi had to soften her tone: "Okay, I'll pay attention." ”

The two of them just said a word, awkwardly came to the Qionghuatai where the banquet was held, and when they arrived at the door, Chu Hongze put away all those little emotions, which was very different from the unhappy appearance just now, put on a calm look, and walked in with Wen Ruyi.

This is the first time that Wen Ruyi has shown his face in front of everyone, which has naturally attracted the attention of many people, after all, this is the queen who was pushed up by New Dili against public opinion, plus those rumors, there are naturally many curious people.

Wen Ruyi blocked out those eyes that were either looking or speculating, and only showed a dignified and elegant appearance, and walked to the main seat without squinting.

But there was always a gaze, a strong sense of presence that had been staring at her from the moment she entered the door, until she sat down, and she didn't know how to retract, but it became more and more hot.

Without exception, the people present are all characters who have been in the officialdom for decades, none of them are stupid people, and naturally they will not be blind, and Mu Zirong's gaze is too undisguised, I just want to stick my eyes to Wen Ruyi, everyone has some different thoughts for a while.

Wen Ruyi was worried that the others would see the strangeness between them, so he raised his eyes to meet Mu Zirong's gaze, and then frowned disapprovingly, and his eyes clearly wrote resistance, and the meaning was very clear.

However, Mu Zirong raised his eyebrows, as if he still thought it was quite interesting, picked up the wine cup and toasted Wen Ruyi with a glass from afar, not caring about the eyes of the people around him.

Wen Ruyi can be regarded as seeing it, Mu Zirong is completely fearless, so she doesn't care about other things, and she has a lot of worries, she can't do anything, she can only endure it temporarily.

Thinking of this, Wen Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little angry, and Chu Hongze, who was beside him, also noticed their small movements just now, and was also a little unhappy, leaning forward slightly, just blocking Mu Zirong's sight.

Seeing that Chu Hongze was actually protecting Wen Ruyi like this, the little jealousy and unwillingness in Mu Zirong's heart suddenly surged, thinking that they were a legitimate husband and wife, and he was just an outsider, and the wine that entered his mouth felt sour, which made his heart feel uncomfortable.

Wen Ruyi thought that this was over, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she didn't expect Mu Zirong to speak again, and it was directly at her: "Ru...... Queen Mother, I don't know how you are lately? ”

The half-concealed word "such as" can be said to have stunned everyone present, and many people still pricked up their ears to hear some gossip, after all, of course everyone knows that the queen's name is "Ruyi", but if a prince from another country openly calls the queen's name here, it will be too rude, but fortunately he stopped in time, although everyone thought in their hearts, but the uncertain things were still suppressed for the time being, only a pair of eyes silently watched.

Wen Ruyi suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, bowed her head slightly, and looked at him with a look that was neither salty nor light, "If you don't care about the prince, everything in this palace is naturally fine." ”

She raised her head and glared at Mu Zirong warningly, signaling that this was the palace of the Dragon Teng Kingdom, and he should not mess around.

But Mu Zirong was fearless, as if he didn't understand her expression, he chased after her and said: "I don't think Niangniang's face seems to be very good-looking, but the harem is heavy and tired?" ”

This is a bit too intimate, after all, where does the queen of a country need the prince of another country to care?

Wen Ruyi was unhappy when she heard this, knowing that she had to take care of the overall situation now, her face was also light, her lips hooked a shallow arc, and her tone was polite and detached: "Prince Mu is too worried, all things in the harem have palace people performing their duties, and Your Majesty is also sympathetic to the palace, don't let the palace work too hard, and don't talk about anything tiring or tired." ”

Mu Zirong was blocked by Wen Ruyi's use of Chu Hongze, and a dark light suddenly slipped through his eyes, and he said meaninglessly: "Oh? Is it? ”

Mu Zirong cared about Wen Ruyi on such an occasion, undoubtedly slapping the faces of other people in Longteng Kingdom, and for a while, the faces of the ministers at the banquet were a little not good-looking, but they couldn't open their mouths to reprimand because of their feelings, their faces were as good as the colorful color palette.

Chu Hongze was annoyed by Mu Zirong's specious attitude, and he was very unhappy, but because of his identity, he couldn't make a big attack, and he felt even more blocked in his heart, and he became more and more uncomfortable.

Wen Ru saw that his face was stiff, reached out and groped over, grabbed Chu Hongze's hand, and knew that he was also holding back his anger now, so he leaned over comfortably and whispered to him: "He did it on purpose, you just ignore him, why should we bother with him?" ”

It was because she had expressed her dissatisfaction with Mu Zirong before, so Mu Zirong was even more energetic, showing her sense of existence in different ways, just to isolate Chu Hongze, it would be better if she could provoke the contradiction between them.

Wen Ruyi looked down on such a cautious eye, and was even more dissatisfied with Mu Zirong's behavior of ignoring the diplomatic relations between the two countries for the sake of their children's personal feelings, which made the faces of the people in charge of their affairs ugly.

Chu Hongze knew what Wen Ruyi meant, and he also adjusted his mentality, patted her hand, and said, "I just can't see him staring at you, and those who don't have it." ”
