Wen Nongnong rolled her eyes, poked at the roast goose meat on the plate with the serving chopsticks, and looked at him seriously. "Why is Uncle making such a big reaction? Our Prince doesn't eat goose butts either, but I didn't give you any." As she spoke, she blinked innocently.
Xiao Yan: "..."
His lips twitched, and he said irritably, "Then I really thank you so much."
He sat down again, picked up his bowl, and began to eat.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong felt a little smug and couldn't help but look at Gu Linchao, her intention to curry favor was obvious.
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, pursed his lips slightly, picked up the serving chopsticks, and placed a goose wing on her plate.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Wen Nongnong smiled broadly and picked up a piece for him as well. "Your Highness, please have some too."
Xiao Yan suddenly felt that the goose neck in the bowl no longer tasted good.
So what exactly is he here for?
Why sit here and let them abuse me?
He hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then slipped away.
Wen Nongnong ate her fill, patted her round belly, and said to Gu Linchao, "Your Highness, I am sleepy and need to go back for a midday rest."
"Okay." Gu Linchao nodded and stood up as well, as he was going to his study.
As they reached the door, Wen Nongnong suddenly turned back. "Your Highness, don't rush to the study. Take a nap too. Don't exhaust yourself."
Gu Linchao paused in his steps.
After Wen Nongnong finished speaking, she left.
Gu Linchao stood there for a while before turning around and returning to the West Garden.
He doesn't have the habit of taking a midday nap.
Whether he was in the military or now back in the capital, he never developed this habit.
Because he has so many things to deal with, he always feels that there isn't enough time in the day.
But the girl's sincere and concerned gaze made him waver and willing to make some changes.
...
After three days, Wang Houde tidied himself up and made sure he no longer smelled of that odor before happily going to the study to wait.
He planned to make a good impression when his master came over.
I heard that Lao Yi did something wrong and was transferred to the military camp for training by his master, which gave him a perfect opportunity.
Just as he was feeling triumphant and eager to impress Gu Linchao, Gu Linchao had already returned to the West Garden for a midday rest.
He waited and waited, but his master did not come over, which puzzled him greatly.
The master always prioritizes political affairs, so why is he nowhere to be seen today?
...
Agarwood Courtyard.
Wen Nongnong woke up from a nap and sat at the table to drink water.
At that moment, Lü Qiao walked in carrying a pile of things.
Wen Nongnong asked curiously, "Where did this come from?"
After piling everything she was carrying onto the table, Lü Qiao took a breath and then said with a smile, "Miss, these are all gifts sent to you by the ladies of various households."
Wen Nongnong was surprised. When did she become so close to the ladies of the various households?
"Did they send it to the wrong place?"
"No, the servant who came to deliver the gift clearly stated that it was for the Regent's Consort, which is you, isn't it?" Green Fairy said, picking up a box, opening it, and handing it to her, winking and saying, "I checked it in the front yard just now, and it's all gifts that Miss likes."
Wen Nong Nong glanced at her in surprise, but the next moment, she was drawn to the contents of the box.
She snatched the box, and after confirming she wasn't mistaken, quickly closed the lid, saying uncertainly, "Is it really for me?" Good heavens, a box full of gold leaves—was she dreaming?
