Gu Linchao was taken aback. Just as he was about to say something, the girl suddenly withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I was just joking. This road is difficult to walk on, but it can't stump me." With that, she walked forward with light steps.
Gu Linchao: "..."
He paused for a moment, then took a step and followed.
"Oh, right, where are my uncle and Prince Atuo?" Wen Nongnong turned around and looked at him, asking.
"I am not entirely sure either," Gu Linchao said calmly.
Wen Nong Nong didn't believe him. She looked at him scrutinizingly. "Really? I thought Your Highness had someone get rid of them."
Gu Linchao glanced at her. In fact, it was he who had asked Si Yi to shake them off.
"Don't overthink it, let's go."
Wen Nongnong shrugged and ignored the matter.
After leaving the bamboo forest, a wide stream came into view, and not far from the stream was a bamboo house.
It looks like it was set up recently.
Wen Nongnong was quite surprised and turned to look at Gu Linchao, "That bamboo house, was it temporarily built by the prince?"
Looking into the girl's bright eyes, Gu Linchao hesitated for a moment before explaining, "This place is remote and the environment is simple, so please make do with it."
Wen Nong Nong blinked. "Did Your Highness have it specially built for me?"
Gu Linchao did not answer her question. He took the fishing rod from Wang Houde and said in a cold voice, "If you are tired, you can go to the bamboo house to rest first. I will go fishing."
Having said that, he strode away.
Wen Nongnong's lips curled up slightly. This man didn't dare to answer her question directly. Could it be that he was embarrassed?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but whistle.
Gu Linchao suddenly turned around to look.
Wen Nongnong's pouting lips remained frozen in place.
Gu Linchao frowned. "A young lady shouldn't be so rude."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
She raised her hand and smoothed a strand of hair behind her ear. "Your Highness is mistaken. That whistle just now was not blew by me."
"Who played that?" Gu Linchao raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a leisurely air.
Wen Nongnong immediately pointed to Wang Houde standing next to her, "It was Eunuch Wang who played it."
Wang Houde: "..."
Wen Nong Nong winked at him.
Under immense pressure from his master, Wang Houde stammered, "Yes, yes, this servant..."
Gu Linchao glanced at Wen Nongnong coolly, said nothing more, and turned to continue walking towards the river.
Wen Nongnong breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and patted Wang Houde's shoulder reassuringly, promising, "Eunuch Wang, I'll treat you to something delicious next time."
Wang Houde said with a long face, "Your Majesty, please don't make this servant take the blame next time." He was afraid that his master would tear him apart.
Wen Nongnong said seriously, "This is a one-time thing, and it will not be repeated. Don't worry, Eunuch Wang."
Wang Houde is so tired.
"I'll go take a look at the bamboo house." Wen Nongnong walked quickly towards the bamboo house, eager to see its interior structure.
To her surprise, the bamboo house was fully furnished.
There are tables and chairs, as well as a soft couch, and a cabinet against the wall; the furnishings are very comfortable.
Looking out the window, you can see the entire river.
If it's summer, you can come here to escape the heat.
Gu Linchao was being too modest; although the bamboo house was small, it had everything one needed.
She wasn't supposed to be tired, but looking at this cozy little house, she couldn't help but want to sit down and rest.
When she finished playing in the bamboo house and went to the river, she saw that there were already two fish in the wooden bucket next to Gu Linchao.
