Gu Linchao was about to push her hand away when he froze, then clenched it tightly, his handsome face suddenly burning hot.
This woman...
How could she say such a thing in front of so many people?
Really... shameless!
But the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
A Tuoqingye: "..."
He felt as if an arrow had pierced his chest, and couldn't help but doubt himself.
Is he really that unattractive?
Wang Houde and Si Yi, who were standing outside the door, rubbed their arms vigorously.
The princess's sweet talk is so cheesy, it gave them all goosebumps.
A-Tuo Jianghua, who had been observing the whole thing for a long time, suddenly burst out laughing, breaking the eerie atmosphere in the room.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "I've heard that women from Daye are usually reserved, but I never expected that you, Nong Nong, are even more fierce and bold than the women from our Hui region. I was right about you."
Wen Nongnong said with a smile, "I'm just telling the truth." After saying that, she glanced at Gu Linchao as if she were shy.
Gu Linchao pursed his thin lips, and after a long while, he realized that she was standing too close to him.
The girl's soft body rubbed tightly against his arm, and he felt as if his arm was on fire. Without making a sound, he pulled his arm away.
Fortunately, Atuo Jianghua had something to say to Wen Nongnong, so she immediately stepped forward and took her hand, her face full of joy. "Nongnong, I came to see you today because I have some good news to share with you."
Sure enough, Wen Nongnong's attention was diverted. "What good news?"
Atuo Jianghua tugged at her braid hanging down her chest and said shyly, "His Majesty the Emperor of your country is willing to take me as a concubine, and soon I will be welcomed into the palace."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong's expression changed slightly, and she turned to look at Gu Linchao, "Your Highness, is this true?"
Gu Linchao was still thinking about what she had just said, and upon hearing this, he absentmindedly hummed in agreement.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Wen Nongnong felt a complex mix of emotions when she looked at Atuo Jianghua again.
Although the two didn't have a deep relationship, the girl was straightforward and actually quite nice. Seeing her about to jump into a fire pit, she felt a little sorry for her and said, "Marriage is a major life event, it concerns one's whole life, won't you reconsider?"
"Why should I consider it?" Atuo Jianghua asked in surprise. "It's rare that His Majesty the Emperor is willing to take me as a concubine. I can't wait to enter the palace and become His Majesty's concubine."
Wen Nong Nong rubbed her forehead. "Do you know that the emperor has always had three palaces and six courtyards, with three thousand beauties? If you enter the palace, you will not become his wife, but just one of his many concubines. You may not even see him once a year."
A Tuo Jiang Hua's eyes widened. "Does he have many women? But I heard that he only has one by his side now, named Liu Changzai. And I'm confident that I can make him fall in love with me and stop taking concubines."
Wen Nongnong shook her head. "Child, you're too naive." First of all, she's from a foreign land and could never become Gu Heng's legal wife. Besides, there's Wen Ruyi there. A'tuo Jianghua is straightforward; how could she possibly be a match for her? It would be good enough if she weren't bullied and framed.
Hearing the tone of her voice, Atuo Jianghua burst into laughter, "Why do you talk so funny? We're about the same age, it's inappropriate for you to call me a child."
Wen Nongnong is really going to lose to her. Is that the point?
Seeing the look of defeat on her face, Atuo Jianghua belatedly realized that she had probably focused on the wrong thing.
