Wen Nongnong continued, "Sweets can make people feel happy, Your Highness should eat more of them."
Gu Linchao listened to her rambling voice and smiled slightly. "Okay."
After finishing the pastries in her hand, Wen Nongnong wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said, "Your Highness, I won't disturb your work any longer. I'll go back now." As she spoke, she handed the plate of pastries to him.
She instructed, "If Your Highness is hungry, please have a piece. Our cook is quite skilled; this peach blossom cake is excellent." With that, she took the calligraphy scroll and left.
Our family...
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then looked down at the plate of pastries in his hand, a smile spreading across his face.
After a moment, he put down the plate and sat down behind the desk, but his expression suddenly turned gloomy when he saw the box on the desk.
Why did the Empress Dowager ask Xiao Yan to bring him such a thing?
And then there's Xiao Yan. He definitely knew what was inside the box, so he deliberately handed it to Wen Nong Nong, causing her to witness such an unclean scene.
Thinking of this, his expression turned very ugly.
"Someone come here!" he suddenly said in a deep voice.
Wang Houde immediately walked in, "Master?"
"Take the contents of this box and destroy them," Gu Linchao ordered.
Wang Houde did not know what was inside the box, but he knew that it was sent by the princess.
He was somewhat puzzled, but dared not be negligent.
"Yes." He hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the box, and left.
After Wang Houde left, Gu Linchao remembered something, got up, went to the bookshelf, and took down the scroll he had just placed there.
His slender fingers slowly unfurled the scroll.
A stunningly beautiful young woman then appeared on it, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her smile enchanting…
If Wen Nongnong were to see this painting, she would be absolutely stunned, because the person in the painting is none other than herself.
But things didn't turn out as Gu Linchao had said. The painting wasn't bad at all; on the contrary, it captured her spirit exceptionally well, with every frown and smile revealing her essence.
Gu Linchao's gaze fell on the girl in the painting, and his handsome face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
While he was painting, Wen Nongnong's every smile and frown came to mind.
He instinctively drew her...
He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, finding it unbelievable that he would do something so absurd.
After all, he drew this behind Wen Nongnong's back.
Thinking of this, Gu Linchao pursed his lips, looked at the painting for a while, and then put it away again.
After leaving the study, Wang Houde went to find a secluded place to destroy the contents of the box.
He hadn't opened the box yet and didn't know what was inside, but recalling the obvious disgust in the prince's tone when he mentioned the box, Wang Houde felt that what was inside must be something dirty and filthy.
Since it is something dirty and filthy, it should naturally be kept away from its master.
However, as he looked around in the veranda, searching for a place, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and patted his shoulder.
Wang Houde was startled and almost dropped the box in his arms. When he turned around, he saw Wen Nongnong. He patted his chest and said, still shaken, "How come it's the Princess Consort? You startled this servant."
"What did Eunuch Wang do in broad daylight to cause such a panic?" Wen Nongnong asked, raising an eyebrow.
Wang Houde quickly shook his head to clarify, "This servant did nothing."
Wen Nongnong's gaze fell on the box in his hand. She paused for a moment and asked, "What is Eunuch Wang doing carrying a box?"
Wang Houde said, "My master ordered me to destroy the contents of this box. I am currently looking for a place to do so."
