Chapter 70: The Palace Banquet
"Huh?" Her words turned so fast that the question sounded like nonsense.
Chen Ruzhi asked in a deep voice, and only after a moment did she realize that she actually knew her own thoughts.
He wasn't good at lying, and he wasn't used to hiding anything, so he simply nodded generously, "Yes."
Bai Wanrou's expression didn't look the slightest surprise, but there was a bit of emotion that he couldn't see.
"If it's because of Princess Yunxia, the prince doesn't have to go through such a hard time, I will take the initiative to pretend to be in love with you outside."
Hearing her say this in a flat tone, an inexplicable sourness surged up in Chen Ru's heart.
Especially the pretended affection in the second half of the sentence, it hurts like someone pinching the flesh on the tip of the heart.
He tilted his head slightly, trying not to let his voice fluctuate, "I do things in my own way, you just need to take care of yourself."
It was clear that what he wanted to say in his heart was not this, but for some reason, he just wanted to see if Bai Wanrou still had feelings for him.
Bai Wanrou raised her eyebrows, "I naturally can't control the prince's head, I just hope that the prince won't do such a distressing act in the future."
There was no sadness in her words, and there was no trace of what she had begged for when she first entered the house.
"It's not early, I still have something to do, so I'll retire first." She bent down and saluted.
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that with her current position as the princess, they didn't need to salute him, the prince.
But she did it anyway, as if the two were not an intimate couple, but strangers separated by a wall of copper and iron.
Chen Ru subconsciously wanted to stop her, but the voice that came out of his mouth was extremely low, and it disappeared into the air in an instant, and Bai Wanrou's hurried steps did not hesitate.
"Ahem," Lin Feng cleared his throat and walked up from behind him, "Lord Wang, I actually think what the princess just said......
He wanted to say a few good words for Bai Wanrou and ease the inexplicable atmosphere between the two, but he received a cold look from Chen Ruyi, which made him tremble and suddenly change his sentence:
"It's really a lack of consideration, how can the prince not have his own plan with such knowledge?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Ru with his spare eyes, and he didn't look happy at all, he still looked sullen, and those who didn't know thought he was hurt by love.
Thinking about it for a moment, Lin Feng felt that this was not wrong, the love and hatred between the young couple could be regarded as being hurt by love.
Chen Ruzhi ignored him, and didn't say anything to his obviously flattering sycophant, and walked into the room by himself.
At that time, Lin Yi happened to come back from practicing martial arts outside, and when he saw Lin Feng's sad face, he asked casually, "What, did you make the prince unhappy again?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng turned his head back, and the pair of sword eyebrows were tightly frowning together at the moment, like an inseparable line.
"I'm just curious, Miss Yue and the prince are both Chinese medicine, but no matter which one of them is, it doesn't look like the princess did it, why does the prince still lock her up in the cold incense courtyard?"
Although it is true that Bai Wanrou has returned to her courtyard now, this is only a means to deal with Princess Yunxia.
I just don't know if the princess can continue to live a stable life after Lei Ting and Lei Yunxia return to Xiling.
Lin Yi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Don't you know that person, Lord Wang? Nine times out of ten, I'm jealous."
"Jealous?" Lin Feng knew what this word meant, but he had never associated this word with Chen Ruzhi in his life until now.
"That's right, otherwise why is he so abnormal recently, could it be that you have other opinions?"
Lin Feng shook his head, he just couldn't think of it before he asked Lin Yi.
"I advise you not to think about this matter anymore, although the prince has not yet understood his feelings for the princess, he can still distinguish between black and white."
A very light breeze blew, and Lin Yi raised his hand and patted him
, without saying anything more, turned and went into the room.
At the same time, Bai Wanrou had also returned to her courtyard, "Qingtang, how is Xiao Tao's situation now?"
She closed the door casually, also to prevent the spy arranged by her father from knowing about it.
"I've already found a doctor to show Xiao Tao, but she has been sinking in the well water for a long time, and her body bones are not tough, and almost half of her life is gone."
Qingtang said it very seriously, but she didn't exaggerate the facts, and she also made a special trip to Dr. An from Tai Hospital to diagnose Xiao Tao's injury.
Hearing this, Lu Zhu also added casually, "Yes, Imperial Doctor An said that she was almost dying at the time, and now she is recuperating from her injuries."
"Doctor Ann?" Bai Wanrou didn't care much about it originally, and her impression of Xiao Tao was not very good, and the reason why she was saved was just for her own plan.
But Imperial Doctor An is the person her brother found for her, if Bai Qingting knows about this, wouldn't it mean ......
Before she could think about it, Qingtang had already interrupted her worries quickly, "Yes, and he also specially instructed the two of us, and Master Bai doesn't know about this matter."
Bai Wanrou breathed a sigh of relief, although Bai Qingting is not particularly reliable in his usual work, at least he will not deceive himself.
Since he said that Bai Fengqi didn't know, he must have made his own preparations.
"How long will it take to recover? Is she awake now?"
Bai Wanrou has her own ideas and is eager to see Xiao Tao, but she also knows that this process is not in a hurry, after all, Xiao Tao is indeed not a normal body now.
"People, of course, are asleep. According to Dr. Ann, it's not certain when you will wake up." Qingtang didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't care much about this issue.
She showed Bai Wanrou the jewelry she had successfully made, "Miss, you see, I think my craftsmanship has improved a lot recently."
Bai Wanrou glanced down, she never hesitated to praise, and Qingtang was also making real progress, "It's much better, it's about to catch up with me."
"What's the matter, it's still far from the realm of Miss." Qingtang said shyly and awkwardly.
In fact, Bai Wanrou didn't learn much longer than her, and if you really want to count it, both of them are still in the introductory stage.
But Qingtang has become accustomed to the "hero" image of Miss in front of him, so he will take it for granted that she is excellent in all aspects.
Today can be regarded as the most extraordinary day in the palace, some people are happy and some are sad.
Bai Wanrou and the three of them joked in the room, and Yueyi's whole person was already like a crazy shrew.
She smashed everything in the room that could be smashed, and the door couldn't be opened no matter how much she smashed it.
Her hysterical shouts came out from the other side of the door, terrifying everyone who heard them.
However, this kind of behavior did not last for a while, but came once in a while, and the two subordinates guarding the door were already on the verge of collapse.
Lu Yi was in charge of delivering Yueyi's dinner, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but ask while being scared, "Miss Yue, what is this stimulus?"
It is true that she was punished and demoted, but because Chen Ruzhi was too spoiled by her before, no one in the palace now dared to disrespect her on the surface, and they were afraid that she would find trouble with herself when she recovered her status.
"How do we know, it's like a crazy woman, it's said that it's because the prince is too good to the princess, I guess it's jealous."
One of the subordinates touched his chin and said the Tao.
His voice also reached Yueyi's ears at the same time, and his originally calm heart suddenly rippled again.
"Who said I was jealous of her! What kind of thing is she, Bai Wan, who deserves to be looked at by me?"
Yueyi slapped the table with her palm, and it didn't make much noise, but her hand hurt for a long time because of it.
She is not afraid that these people outside will sue because of this sentence, she knows very well in her heart, Chen Ruzhi's mouth is hard and soft-hearted.
What to say yourself
It was not long after he lost his son, and no matter how ruthless he was, he would not have a more severe punishment than confinement.
This is also Yueyi's past few days, scolding Bai Wanrou every day and giving her the confidence of a villain.
Lu Yi outside the door listened, the hand holding the food box trembled, and after putting the things on the ground, he quickly walked away.
"Eh, Lan Zin, do you see that? I said that the prince has been too good to the princess these days, and even Yueyi has been angry like this, what if I don't have the opportunity to contact the prince in the future!"
Far away from the courtyard where Yueyi lived, there was no one around, and Lu Yi had no intention of calling her Miss Yue again.
Just thinking that Bai Wanrou rejected her, she was still a little sullen in her heart.
Lan Zinc's hand was wrapped in her, and the warm feeling spread from her palm to her chest, and she couldn't help but persuade, "We are just two girls, so let's not think about the prince."
Knowing that Lu Yi would never give up so easily, she continued: "A person as cold and noble as the prince has no fate with us."
But who is Lu Yi, will she be persuaded by a few words?
Lan Zin's persuasion not only did not work, but made her heart even more blocked, and a wave of pride and ambition poured out, "I still want the prince to be impressed by me, no matter what others say, my goal is the position of the princess!"
To say that she doesn't know Chen Ruzhi, it's impossible, after being in the palace for so long, even if she listens to other people's discussions, she knows more or less.
It is precisely because he is silent and brave that he is good at fighting that Lu Yi has made up his mind that he must fly on the branches and become a phoenix.
Lan Zinc is different from her pursuit, her personality is also very different, she is not good at talking, she just sighed when she saw her like this, and didn't say anything.
"Lord, the emperor said that there is a palace banquet in the palace today, and he wants you and the princess to attend it together." Lin Yi had just received the news, and said to Chen Ruzhi under great pressure.
Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, the temperature around him seemed to be extremely cold, and he only felt that he couldn't even hear the prince's voice clearly.
"Why did you want the princess to go with you?"
"Ahem, this dinner, the prince and Princess Yunxia will also be present."
The implication is nothing more than that Bai Wanrou can not go, it depends on whether you can stand Princess Yunxia's show of love.
Chen Ruzhi's eyebrows jumped, he was really looking for trouble, and it was not enough to hold a banquet for the brother and sister, so he came to another palace banquet.
