Chapter XVI: Punishment
Yueyi also knew that now was not the best time for her to meet, and after Chen Ruzhi came, she immediately hung two lines of crystal tears.
"Lord, don't blame me for lying today, it's just that I'm really scared in my heart, I'm afraid that after Wanrou is favored, you will ignore me......"
"Yue'er, you don't have to think so much, the person in my heart is always you."
Having said that, Chen Ruzhi didn't like people to cry in front of him, and he had endured it for a long time in front of Yueyi before.
Today he couldn't bear it anymore, his eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his temples hurt like a drum.
"I still have important things to do, you can sleep first, you can come to me as soon as the third day is up."
Yueyi was extremely worried in her heart, she saw that Chen Ruzhi's face was not good, and she didn't dare to refute it after all, so she only secretly speculated in her heart.
After Chen Ruzhi left, she couldn't settle down in her heart, her eyelids jumped, and her heart was full of uneasiness.
"Didn't I ask you to mention the child more when you called the prince? Are you not good at talking? ”
She looked in the direction of Xiao Tao with a somewhat grim look, which scared the latter so much that she couldn't even speak.
"I ...... I don't, Miss Mingjian, I really haven't left His Royal Highness every word......"
"What young lady, call me Princess!"
Yueyi threw the things in his hand to the door, this wooden door is probably some years old, and after the thing is smashed up, it makes a creaking sound, and the listener feels uncomfortable.
What kind of life did she live in the palace in the past? Wearing gold and silver, even Bai Wanrou's dowry is also in her bag.
Since that decree came down, she has not been able to get money every day, and she has to give rewards to those below, and she doesn't know how difficult her life is.
Thinking of Bai Wanrou, her eyes were condensed, her eyes were as cold as thin ice, and her lips were hooked and she smiled.
"Bai Wanrou, you wait for me!"
Just as Yueyi suppressed and cursed her, Bai Wanrou sneezed in the room, she rubbed the tip of her nose, "Who is scolding me behind my back......"
"Miss! Look what I sent you today, it's the sugar-fried chestnuts made in the imperial dining room, I tried it, and the taste is really good! ”
Luzhu is used to calling her Miss in the Hou Mansion on weekdays, and she can't change it for a while, and Bai Wanrou didn't think about her changing.
She twisted a piece of chestnut in her jade hand and put it in her mouth, and her eyes lit up for a moment, "It's not much different from the taste of the one in the market!" ”
"Quick, who did this, I'm going to learn from him!"
"Hey, wait! Miss, I still have something to report. ”
Seeing that Bai Wanrou was about to step out, Luzhu was a little anxious, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop people, and there was still a little grievance on that delicate little face.
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou just pinched her cheek, chuckled, and then said, "If you have something, just talk about it, what do you and I have to worry about." ”
Lu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about it, and then said, "Miss, didn't you ask me to ask the prince about his whereabouts recently?" I've noticed that he's been out of town lately to run errands. ”
She shook the dress on her body, sat down opposite Bai Wanrou, took another sip of tea, and carefully examined Bai Wanrou's face.
"Miss, don't be deceived by that man! He goes out of the city every day, and he must have some bad idea in his heart. ”
Bai Wanrou saw Luzhu stand up again, and her face was flushed when she spoke, and she also knew that the previous experience made her very frightened.
She felt a pain in her heart, and secretly resolved that she would never let the people around her suffer with her in the future.
But at the same time, she was also recalling what Luzhu said, if she remembered correctly, her father was always out of the city before.
Could it be ...... Are they busy with the same thing?
But Chen Ruzhi and his father are political enemies!
I'm afraid that he is planning to murder his father, and it is still possible.
Bai Wanrou was frightened by this thought, and despite the fact that it was already night, she said in an anxious tone: "Luzhu, go and prepare the carriage, I have to go back to the Hou Mansion now!" ”
Qingtang, who had been waiting outside the door, also pushed the door in at this moment, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
She looked at Lu Zhu, who was full of doubts, obviously not knowing why Bai Wanrou suddenly wanted to go to the Hou Mansion.
"Qingtang came just in time, Luzhu rested in the courtyard, helped me block those irrelevant people from coming in, and Qingtang went back with me."
Luzhu wanted to refuse to follow her, but after thinking about it, she felt that her own lady must have her own arrangements, so she had to give up.
Under Bai Wanrou's urging, the drive, which was supposed to take at least half an hour, was compressed to a quarter of an hour.
The moment she lifted the curtain and walked down the steps, Bai Wanrou suddenly paused, stunned in place and did not move.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally sat back.
Qingtang was a little surprised, "Miss, you said you were coming before, why did you come back before you went in?" ”
"I ought to have asked my father about these things."
Although she didn't know what she said, Qingtang still comforted her.
"It's okay, it's too late to ask now."
Bai Wanrou shook her head, although she didn't tell Qingtang about the pros and cons of this, she was very clear in her heart.
Now no matter how well she is doing in the palace, she is already a quasi-princess pointed out by the emperor.
Chen Ruzhi and his father have always been at odds in political affairs, no matter how much she loves herself, her father will not tell her the truth when she thinks about it.
After all, he is now the prince's person, and he has to guard against it.
Thinking of this, Bai Wanrou's eyes were sour, and the bean-sized tears almost rolled down, but fortunately, she sniffed and finally endured it.
"Let's go."
No matter how reluctant she is now, she has to go back to the palace, otherwise she will inevitably be accused of not returning all night by Chen Ruzhi at that time.
Bai Wanrou took Qingtang into the courtyard along the path, but she didn't know that just behind her, Chen Ruzhi and Lin Feng had been watching her.
"What is the princess going to do, and she is still coming back from the trail today?"
Lin Feng unintentionally mentioned it, but it made Chen Ru's heart angry.
Sure enough, Bai Wanrou is a veritable slut!
Not only did he not see red on the wedding night, but he also did not abide by women's morals after marrying himself!
He originally negotiated with Lin Feng here because of the affairs of the court, but he didn't expect God to give him such a big surprise, and he happened to bump into his princess returning home.
"What do you mention that woman for, what does she care about."
Lin Feng saw his master's extremely dissatisfied face, and knew that what he said was wrong, so he immediately lowered his head and pretended to be a quail.
Bai Wanrou on the other side entered the courtyard, and the whole person relaxed, she beckoned Qingtang and Luzhu, "Come and taste this chestnut quickly, it tastes good." ”
She had just tried it, and the chestnuts were even more delicious when they were cooled than when they were hot.
"I've eaten it, and I'll leave the rest for Miss and Sister Qingtang."
Luzhu looked at the food in front of him, a little salivating, but he could only refuse.
She didn't want the young lady to think that she was a very edible rice bucket.
Bai Wanrou probably saw what she meant, laughed, and then pulled her down to sit beside her.
"You don't have to excuse yourself, this chestnut tastes better when it cools, so you have to taste it anyway."
Lu Zhu smiled and ate one, "Hmm~ It tastes really good." ”
She turned her head and saw Bai Wanrou's expression as if she was laughing at her, and two more blush appeared on her cheeks.
Seeing this, Qingtang knew that the master was deliberately teasing Luzhu, and he was not jealous, but watched it with relish.
"You two come to help me carry this rattan chair, it's too heavy for me to carry alone."
Lu Zhu and Qingtang turned their heads when they heard the sound, and when they saw that Bai Wanrou wanted to move the rattan chair in the corner alone, their hearts rose to their throats.
"Miss, Miss, go sit down quickly, we'll do this rough work."
"Yes, miss, the two of us are better than one person, you can just sit and eat a snack."
Bai Wanrou refused a few words, and finally the three of them moved the chair out crookedly.
She lay on it and sighed secretly that the moon and breeze were so unhappy on a moonlit night.
"Luzhu, you brought the small wooden table in my house, and we will taste tea and eat chestnuts here, it must be very comfortable."
Lu Zhu also smiled when he heard this, and moved the wooden table out with Qingtang.
The three of them chatted like this, and Bai Wanrou occasionally chanted a few lines of poetry.
Lin Feng, who was hiding behind the tree, listened, and while envying the carefree nature of the three of them, he secretly compared Bai Wanrou and Yueyi.
"This princess is honest by nature, she has changed so much in recent days, and now she is a few points better than Miss Yue."
He only muttered quietly, but what kind of person Chen Ruzhi was, he could hear even the whispers like mosquitoes and flies, let alone Lin Feng's complaints.
He gritted his teeth, this poisonous woman with a femme fatale heart is the same every day, how can she be compared with a simple moon?
Looking at Bai Wanrou, who was chic and free, and thinking of her changes in the past few days, Chen Ruzhi only felt that his heartbeat was a little faster and more annoying.
"Lin Feng, you haven't been doing much work with me recently, I'm afraid that your hands are also rusty, so let's go to the back mountain to strengthen your training."
Lin Feng looked at Chen Ruyi's serious face, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
He went out of the city with Chen Ruyi, and he did all the tasks on weekdays.
Lin Yi, that guy is so idle that he argues with himself every day and doesn't strengthen training, why do you still want it?
Lin Feng thought about it, and blamed him for talking too much just now, he shouldn't have said those words.
But the wood is already in the boat, and it is too late to regret it.
He could only whisper yes, and then the frosty eggplant walked away to the back mountain.
Seeing a figure shining in the moonlight, Lin Feng knew that Lin Yi was also training, and said as he walked.
"Do you think this prince is not kind, I am tired from running around day and night, and he is so ruthless that he wants me to strengthen my training!"
"What's going on this time?" Lin Yi has been silent all year round, and his voice is a little hoarse as soon as he speaks, but it is extremely low and fascinating.
Lin Feng told him what had just happened, only to see Lin Yi hook his lips and smile, the arc was extremely small, and he hid it very well in this night.
Even Lin Feng, who had received special training in hearing, wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Then a male voice came from the night, "You have nothing to interfere with the feelings between the masters, even if you are punished, it is expected." ”
It was the first time Lin Feng had heard him say so much, but the content of the words made him extremely dissatisfied.
That's it, this time I should have a long memory, and he won't talk much about anything in the future.
