Chen Ruzhi curled his lips, admiring the emperor's endurance for a moment.
However, over the years, he has known the emperor best, so there were not many surprises.
The emperor put down the tea cup and glanced at Chen Ruzhi, his eyes full of meaning, his voice low and rich, "My lord, you are a great benchmark in our capital."
"This time Xiling sent someone here, I think you are the most suitable person to receive them."
He paused and spoke again before Chen Ruzhi refused, "This represents the face of our Chen country. It is a major matter for the country. I entrust it to you, and I hope you will not disappoint my expectations."
This statement could not be more obvious. It is nothing more than telling Chen Ruzhi: This is a national matter and you cannot refuse it.
Chen Ruzhi lowered his eyelids, tightened the cup in his hand, and released it after a moment, "I know this, and I will definitely not let down the emperor's kindness."
Seeing this, the emperor smiled and rolled his eyes, but the pride in his eyes could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.
Chen Ruzhi could only pretend that he didn't see it, agreed to the incident, and casually found an excuse to leave, lest he cause any more trouble to him.
"This emperor is really good at looking for trouble. He actually asked me to receive Lei Yunxia. It's simply a bad intention."
Chen Ruzhi muttered, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Lei Lei standing in front of him, standing upright and proudly, staring straight at him.
He wasn't sure if his muttering was heard, but seeing that Lei Lei's expression didn't change, he probably didn't know about it.
Chen Ruzhi stopped and was forced to pretend to be happy and say hello, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Your Majesty. I never expected to meet you in the palace today. I wonder what the purpose of your coming here is?"
Lei Lei laughed heartily, his behavior completely different from before, as if he was a good brother of Chen Ruzhi.
He patted Chen Ruzhi on the shoulder, "I heard that the prince was summoned to the palace, so I came over to try my luck to see if I could meet you. It seems that I have good luck today."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruzhi immediately realized that he had nothing good to do with him.
But with the emperor's order hanging in front of him, he had to raise a smile to cater to it, "Oh? The prince is actually looking for me, but there is something important?"
Chen Ruzhi originally thought that by saying this, Lei Ting would be a little embarrassed to cause trouble, but it turned out that he thought too much.
Lei Lei followed his words and said, "Hey, it's really important. I want to invite the prince to go hunting in the countryside. I wonder if the prince has time?"
Chen Ruzhi secretly spat in his heart, this is not an important matter, turned around and said: "It's not too late for the prince to invite me to be happy, I can naturally find time."
This was exactly the answer Lei Ting wanted. Although Chen Ruzhi seemed to be trying to force a smile, he didn't care about it.
"Your Majesty is indeed a cheerful person. I like to deal with people like you, so let's make an agreement and leave first."
Chen Ruzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression was neither cold nor indifferent, and his tone was calm, "Your Majesty, go well."
After a while, Lei Lei suddenly turned around, as if remembering something, and said to Chen Ruzhi: "Your Majesty, I will return to Xiling after this hunting."
"This can be considered diplomatic relations between the two countries. How about we have something exciting this time?"
Chen Ruzhi raised his eyebrows and immediately realized something was wrong.
It was said that it was something exciting, but in fact it was probably aimed at him.
Chen Ruzhi did not show his thoughts, but nodded lightly, "I would like to listen to the prince's arrangements."
After returning to the palace, he took off his mask, and when facing Lin Yi, he was as cold as ever, "Lin Yi, hurry up and invite some officials for me today."
"The prince and princes also want it. In short, the more people the better, so tell them that the prince of Xiling invites them to hunt and invite them to go together."
Lin Yi paused for a moment, and finally asked: "Your Majesty, if we invite you without permission, will the Crown Prince have any objections when the time comes?"
Chen Ruzhi didn't speak, but looked at him directly. His eyes seemed to say: What do you think?
It took him a while before he spoke, "I don't know if you have any objections, but if I don't find someone, Lei Yunxia will inevitably pester me again."
Although Lei Lei initiated this hunt, and most of the people who went there were men.
But there is no need to think about it, he must be thinking about his sister's marriage.
Lei Yunxia's thoughts were so obvious that if Chen Ruzhi didn't find more people and only the three of them were present, he would be doomed.
Lin Yi pursed his lips and seemed to be snickering, "I know, Your Majesty, I'll do it right away."
In fact, what Chen Ruzhi said was correct. Because Lei Yunxia was from Xiling, her temperament was naturally bold and open-minded.
Most people in Xiling are enthusiastic and will not hide their love, and Lei Yunxia is no exception.
Chen Ruzhi breathed a sigh of relief. It was refreshing to be such a person, but it was also really annoying to get entangled with him.
If he hadn't thought about what Lei Lei said about returning to Xiling, he might not have been able to cheer up and go hunting.
At the same time, Lei Lei also returned to his mansion, his expression no longer as cheerful as the one in front of Chen Ruzhi, but like a cloud.
He grimaced, not hiding his displeasure at all, and even frowned when he saw Lei Yunxia.
"I made an appointment with Chen Ruzhi for you to hunt together. This is the last chance to contact him before returning to Xiling. You should know what to do."
Lei Lei didn't say it directly, but the look he looked at Lei Yunxia was so coercive that it made people think twice about rejecting him. Just one look was enough to make his heart tremble.
Lei Yunxia had never seen Lei Lei look like this, but no matter how many times she saw it, she could not stop feeling fear in her heart.
She seems to be fearless, but in reality she is like a wolf with its tail between its legs every time she meets her brother.
Because only she and some people who are familiar with Lei Ting know how terrifying this person is.
If she accidentally did something that provoked him to reprimand her madly, Lei Yunxia would even be unable to sleep well all night, as her mind would be filled with memories of the time when she was furious.
This was what she feared the most. Lei Ting's personality was unpredictable. Sometimes he was laughing and joking one moment, but in the next moment his face turned dark.
For example, at this time, he just said one sentence, but because of his calm expression, Lei Yunxia did not even dare to take a breath.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely seize the opportunity this time and take down Chen Ruzhi completely."
Lei Yunxia knew that he just wanted to hear herself say such things.
And if Chen Ruzhi can't be tempted this time, she will be completely doomed.
"As long as you know what to do, don't let me down."
The atmosphere here was like a battlefield, and it seemed that people would be killed in the next moment. However, Chen Ruzhi immediately became happy after a brief moment of worry.
He had completely forgotten that if he was going hunting, he would have every reason to ask Bai Wanrou to go with him.
Although Bai Wanrou has always emphasized that they are just partners now, Lei Yunxia will definitely go for this hunt. Isn't this the content of their cooperation?
Chen Ruzhi patted his head, his face suddenly changed, he smiled from the bottom of his heart, and looked for Bai Wanrou with slightly curled lips.
In the past few days, Luzhu and Qingtang were no longer surprised to see him coming.
If he had been so diligent in coming to Bai Wanrou's courtyard in the past, not only Qingtang, but also Lu Zhu would have advised Bai Wanrou to seize the opportunity and not let the prince slip away.
But now Chen Ruzhi is no longer someone they worry about. Instead, they all still think about whether to persuade Bai Wanrou to leave.
"Your Majesty? Why are you here again today?"
Bai Wanrou thought that Chen Ruzhi had nothing serious to do when he came this time, so she frowned. Just as she was about to mention the relationship between the two, she heard him say: "I came here this time because I have something serious to see you."
"Prince Xiling invited me to go hunting. He is Princess Yunxia's brother. Princess Yunxia will naturally be there for this hunting. I need you to accompany me."
Bai Wanrou paused when she was about to say something. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that there was no problem, so she agreed readily, "Okay, what do you need me to do?"
Chen Ruzhi's smile rose to his brows and he almost couldn't hold it back. Fortunately, he came back to his senses at the critical moment and pretended to be calm and said: "In order to make Princess Yunxia give up, naturally we have to continue to pretend to be in love."
"If necessary, we may cause some minor accidents. We just need to coordinate in advance."
Bai Wanrou nodded, and a bold idea suddenly flashed through her mind. She always felt that this hunting could be an opportunity for her.
"In that case, I wonder if your lord can do me a favor?"
It was said to be hunting, so there must have been more than just them, and at least there were some princes and princesses there.
If she can showcase her finished clothes and attract some royal guests, then she won't have to worry about opening a shop after her divorce.
"Princess, please speak." Chen Ruzhi sat down and took a sip of tea, looking very happy and relaxed.
"On the day of hunting, I will bother the prince to wear the clothes I designed."
When Bai Wanrou said this, she felt that it seemed a bit misleading. Instead of increasing the distance between the two, it actually seemed that they were very ambiguous.
So after a pause, she added, "I hope to attract some customers, and I thought the prince has a good figure and would be a suitable candidate."
The corners of Chen Ruzhi's raised lips dropped again after hearing these words. The expectations that had just been ignited in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he was not in a good mood.
"The princess has already spoken, so naturally I won't refuse. Just give Lin Yi your clothes when the time comes."
Bai Wanrou nodded, seeing that he was still sitting firmly on the chair, she couldn't help but wonder, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"
Chen Ruzhi understood that this was an eviction order for him. He stood up from the chair while feeling disappointed, "Nothing, I'll leave now."
Perhaps because she felt that what she said was a bit harsh, Bai Wanrou hesitated for a while, but still couldn't say anything.
The day of hunting was approaching day by day, and Bai Wanrou had already prepared clothes for Lin Yi, waiting for Chen Ruzhi to put them on.
Sure enough, when Bai Wanrou saw him again, he was already wearing new clothes, which was exactly the effect she wanted.
"Your Majesty is indeed in great shape."
