Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong's face lit up with joy, and she immediately agreed, "Alright, Your Highness, wait for me tomorrow."
Is Gu Linchao asking her out?
Wow, I didn't expect Gu Linchao, who seems so old-fashioned, to actually know how to invite her out.
Seeing the girl's bright eyes, Gu Linchao unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and his clenched fist slowly loosened.
This time, Wen Nongnong didn't stay any longer and left quickly.
Looking at the empty doorway, Gu Linchao spent a long time before turning his attention back to his official duties.
A moment later, she paused, feeling that Wen Nongnong had been too attentive, which was unlike her usual self.
He frowned and summoned Wang Houde inside.
"What did the Princess Consort do before I returned to the manor today? Did anyone come to the manor?"
Wang Houde clearly felt that after the princess came over, the gloom on his master's body was not so intimidating. He was still marveling at how the princess was so resourceful. But unexpectedly, not long after, his master called him in and suddenly asked this question.
In the past, the master didn't pay much attention to the princess's movements in the mansion.
He was puzzled, but dared not be negligent, and immediately replied, "This servant accompanied the master to the palace today and is not quite sure. This servant will go and ask Steward Chen."
Gu Linchao nodded.
Before long, Wang Houde re-entered and reported, "Prince Wen came this morning, but he left after sitting for a short while. Shortly after, Princess Atuo also arrived."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao understood why Wen Nongnong was behaving strangely today.
It turns out it was because of Wen Tingyun.
It seems she knows about Wen Tingyun's promotion.
Did she think that Wen Tingyun's promotion to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was arranged by him?
He did contribute to this matter, but if Wen Tingyun hadn't had the ability, he wouldn't have been able to promote him so exceptionally.
The Wen family... they really know how to repay kindness.
His expression was unreadable; he pursed his lips and said, "I understand. You may leave."
Wang Houde bowed and withdrew.
The next day, the weather was perfect.
After having breakfast, Wen Nongnong changed into a light green dress and headed towards the gate of the mansion.
When she arrived, Gu Linchao was indeed waiting for her.
"Your Highness." She walked over with light steps.
Gu Linchao's gaze fell on her, then he quickly looked away. "Get in the car."
“Okay.” Wen Nongnong stepped onto the horse stool and was about to board the carriage when suddenly, the siblings Atuo Qingye and Atuo Jianghua arrived from afar.
"Oh, are you going on a trip?" Atuo Qingye asked.
"Where to?" Atuo Jianghua pressed.
“We’re going fishing in the countryside,” Wen Nongnong replied.
Atuo Jianghua's eyes lit up. "Can we go together?"
Gu Linchao's expression darkened, and he resolutely refused, "No. If the prince and princess wish to travel, they may be accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites."
"What's so fun about hanging out with those old men?" Atuo Jianghua said listlessly.
“Yes, Regent, please take us with you. It’ll be more lively with more people,” Prince Atuo said, seemingly oblivious to Gu Linchao’s obvious refusal.
Gu Linchao ignored the two of them and said directly to Wen Nongnong, "Go upstairs."
"Oh." Wen Nongnong also felt that it would be more lively with more people, and besides, she got along quite well with Jiang Hua, but Gu Linchao was the big boss, so whatever he said was fine.
She glanced apologetically at Jiang Hua, then lifted her skirt, climbed onto the carriage shaft, and was about to bend down to get in when Xiao Yan hurriedly rode over.
"Hengzhi, are you and Nongnong going on a trip? Perfect timing, I'm free today, I can join you."
