Fortunately, Er Gou had already noticed her actions and replaced the tea that had been drugged, so in the end, it was Hu Nuan'er, not Er Gou, who was drugged.
This description is what Hu Nuan'er observed when she watched Er Gou drink the tea that she thought was drugged: broad shoulders, narrow waist, thin lips, distinct finger bones, and even the movement of his throat was captivating.
Hu Nuan'er immediately regretted it. With such a powerful, influential, and handsome man right next to her, why didn't she seduce him? Instead, she went to climb into the old king's bed. Was she out of her mind?
Upon seeing this, Chuanwen completely understood Hu Nuan'er, hiss (drooling over her good looks)! After all, Er Gou's good looks were not something an ordinary person could resist!
Unfortunately, Hu Nuan'er probably wasn't very bright. She never considered that Er Gou didn't arrive with power and influence all at once. When he first arrived in Xiao Liang Kingdom, he faced many difficulties, and he gradually gained power through his own cunning. So how could someone as shrewd as her not see through her little scheme?
After Hu Nuan'er was drugged, Er Gou had already disappeared. Moreover, she didn't have the same composure as the Crown Prince, who would resolutely refuse to submit even when chased by palace maids all over the palace. In her dazed state, she grabbed someone and pounced on them.
It was such a coincidence that they grabbed a prince on the spot.
Chuanwen kept clicking her tongue in dismay as she read it. She was just one step away from seeing more of Er Gou's erotic descriptions!
But she quickly realized something was wrong. If she hadn't missed that crucial step, would she have been cheated on?!
Cough cough cough!
Chuanwen was relieved that Ergou was quick-witted, otherwise he would have been cuckolded!
Wenxue on the rooftop is enjoying her melon-eating toy. Wow! It's so exciting over in Xiaoliang Kingdom! It's such a pity I can't be there to watch!
Chuanwen's thoughts couldn't reach the entire Marquis's mansion, but Chuanrui and Xu Yan's courtyards were right next to Chuanwen's, so they could still hear Chuanwen's thoughts when it was late at night.
The two looked at each other silently, then breathed a long sigh of relief. Their daughter had almost been cheated on!
Over the next few days, Hua Jing didn't mention the selection of a bride for the marriage alliance and instead began touring the capital.
Even if she didn't bring it up, the emperor couldn't just keep putting it off. Besides, the emperor already had a few potential suitors. Every time Hua Jing went out to play, the emperor would have those people accompany her, just to see which one Hua Jing would take a liking to.
That afternoon, Chuanwen and Chuanyu came out of the girls' school and ran into the princess from the Western Regions.
"Your name is Chuanyu?"
She walked over and looked Chuanyu up and down, followed by a string of people. The procession looked quite impressive, and wherever she went, the locals who dared not cause trouble all gave way.
After that flower-viewing banquet, Xu Wuyou had already told Chuanyu in detail about the existence of the Western Regions princess, and assured her that he absolutely did not like this Western Regions princess at all, and that his heart was full of her.
So when Chuan Yu smiled and answered, he was also secretly sizing up the other party.
Chuanwen, standing to the side, frowned. "Is this a case of rivals meeting, their eyes blazing with hatred?"
Xu Wuyou saw this scene from afar and heard Chuanwen's thoughts, so he quickly walked over.
He believed that the Western Regions princess wouldn't act rashly in the street, but fearing that something might happen to Chuanyu, he quickly came over and stood beside Chuanyu, ready to intervene as soon as the Western Regions princess made a move.
"Why are you here again?"
Chuan Yu's helpless tone was mixed with a hint of sweetness. These past few days, she had always run into Xu Wuyou at this time. When asked, she would say that he just happened to be passing by on his way, but the two of them knew perfectly well that he just wanted to see each other a little more.
Every time this happens, Chuanwen would mutter a curse about the stench of this relationship!
Chuan Yu couldn't hear, but Xu Wuyou, who could hear, pretended not to hear, and felt even sweeter inside.
But today, it looks like a chaotic scene!
The post finally stopped criticizing their cheesy relationship and instead expressed schadenfreude, saying, "Every cause has its effect! Who told you to show off your love every day! Hahaha!"
However, she wasn't worried that the Western Region princess would make a move; she wasn't stupid, and besides, Xu Wuyou was there too.
Chuanwen silently took two steps back, blending into the crowd of onlookers. [Although this Western Region princess isn't stupid, what if she's blinded by love? Our Sister Yu has Xu Wuyou protecting her, but we're all alone. We'd better hide quickly to avoid getting caught in the crossfire!]
Wen Xue, standing to the side, silently grimaced: "Miss, have you forgotten that I even exist?"
When Chuanwen saw that Wenxue was still standing there dumbfounded, he pulled her over and handed her a handful of sunflower seeds, saying, "Here, have some."
Wen Xue had a handful of sunflower seeds shoved into her hand. She glanced at the three people and thought, "Ugh! Is it really okay for us to eat melon seeds right under their noses?"
What do you girls teach at school?
Hua Jing simply rolled his eyes at Xu Wuyou, then looked at Chuan Yu behind him and asked.
Chuan Yu glanced at Xu Wuyou, wondering what this princess from the Western Regions was up to, but still politely replied, "Just learning a few characters and some principles."
Chuanyu knew the importance of what Chuanwen had taught her, so she dared not speak of it to the people of the Western Regions. However, she wasn't exactly lying; she had indeed learned some principles, just not ordinary ones.
Hua Jing's eyes lit up with curiosity, and he asked, "What's the reasoning behind that?"
During her travels around the capital these past few days, she'd heard many people discussing this girls' school, and many seemed quite opposed to it. However, she liked it; why should men be allowed to attend school while women couldn't? So she really wanted to go inside and have a look.
However, Chuanyu did not agree. Their classroom contained various experimental equipment, which was not open to outsiders.
Hua Jing couldn't help but scoff, "It's just a school, why can't we visit it?"
