A-Tuo Jianghua, who had been sitting there bored, suddenly perked up and looked towards the entrance with delight.
Sure enough, a bright yellow figure appeared in their field of vision.
All the concubines and noble ladies were overjoyed and hurriedly rose to greet them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Regent."
Everyone else only had eyes for Gu Heng, but Wen Nong Nong only had eyes for Gu Lin Chao.
He walked beside Gu Heng, still outstanding and imposing, even overshadowing Gu Heng, who was the emperor.
She instinctively got up and went to greet them.
But out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Empress Dowager Guo was also looking in their direction.
She was stunned for a moment.
Did Empress Dowager Guo favor Gu Heng or Gu Linchao?
However, she quickly put this question out of her mind.
She walked straight to Gu Linchao's side, tilted her small face up to look at him, and her peach blossom eyes held a hint of joy. "Why has Your Highness come as well?"
Gu Linchao was taken aback when she came to greet him. He said gently, "I heard you entered the palace, so I came to take you back."
Wen Nongnong felt a warmth in her heart, automatically interpreting it as him being worried about her and therefore coming to pick her up.
“Okay, let’s go then.” She naturally reached out her hand to him.
Gu Linchao was stunned for a moment, looking at her with confusion.
Wen Nongnong said matter-of-factly, "Your Highness, please lead me."
Looking at the slender, pale fingers she offered to him, Gu Linchao subconsciously reached out and grasped them.
What he didn't notice was that everyone present was watching the two of them.
When they saw him actually holding Wen Nong Nong's hand in public, everyone was almost speechless with shock.
Gu Heng was somewhat surprised.
The Imperial Uncle, with his sullen and unapproachable nature, actually went out and held a woman's hand in full view of everyone...
He was very shocked.
When Empress Dowager Guo saw this from afar, she lost her composure and knocked over the teacup beside her.
With a crisp "snap".
Everyone seemed to wake from a dream and looked at her.
Empress Dowager Guo had already lowered her eyes, but her hands, hidden in her sleeves, were clenched tightly into her palms.
Wen Nongnong, that shameless bitch!
Wen Nongnong glanced at her and felt that she was strange more and more, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong with her.
Gu Linchao then realized that everyone was watching. He was about to withdraw his hand, but the girl's hand tightened around his first.
Wen Nongnong said, "Your Highness, let's go."
"Okay." Gu Linchao glanced down at her, said nothing more, took her hand, and walked out.
It's great to be around Gu Linchao; she can do whatever she wants.
Wen Nongnong sighed inwardly.
Of course, she also admitted that she had done it on purpose, deliberately letting him hold her hand in front of everyone.
Although all the noble ladies present had their eyes on Gu Heng, she just wanted to assert her dominance to prevent any fools from coveting her husband.
Watching the two walk away, Atuo Jianghua felt very envious.
Do all men in Da Ye prefer Wen Nong Nong's type?
Thinking it over, she subconsciously mimicked Wen Nongnong's tone and reached out her hand to Gu Heng, "Your Majesty..."
Gu Heng glanced at her, as if he hadn't seen her outstretched hand, and walked inside.
A Tuo Jiang Hua reluctantly withdrew her hand.
Why can't she do it?
She reached up and scratched her head.
...
As Wen Nongnong followed Gu Linchao out of the Imperial Garden, just as Gu Linchao was about to let go of her hand, Granny Zeng suddenly walked over with a smile.
Looking at their clasped hands, her eyes were full of smiles. "Your Highness, Your Highness," she said, bowing slightly. "The Empress Dowager sent this old servant to check on things. If Your Highness is tired of the banquet, you can go to Jingci Palace for a while. Since Your Highness is here too, please come along. The Empress Dowager misses you very much."
Gu Linchao nodded, released Wen Nongnong's hand, and said gently, "Let's go."
