Wen Nongnong paused, then said matter-of-factly, "The Prince didn't say he would come back for a meal, and we don't know when he will return." As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks to pick up some chicken.
Just then, a servant's voice came from outside, "Your Highness."
The next moment, Gu Linchao appeared by the door.
Wen Nongnong paused for a moment; this guy really came back just in time.
Despite her inner grumbling, she quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up obsequiously, a happy smile on her face. "Your Highness has finally returned. I've kept you waiting for so long. Green Fairy, quickly serve Your Highness a bowl of soup."
Just as Lü Qiao was about to step forward, Wen Nong Nong said, "Never mind, I'll do it." With that, she picked up a bowl and personally served Gu Lin Chao a bowl of soup.
Gu Linchao paused, looking at the girl's unusually beautiful profile under the lamplight, his expression slightly stunned.
But when he thought about the things she had said about him behind his back during the day, he couldn't help but purse his lips.
After a moment, he stepped forward and sat down in the seat opposite him.
"This fish head tofu soup is the best soup Aunt Li makes. Please try it." Wen Nongnong placed the bowl in front of him.
"Aunt Li?" Gu Linchao asked, somewhat puzzled.
“She’s the cook in my courtyard. Since the prince asked me to stay in the West Garden, I transferred her here as well. She’ll be in charge of cooking in the West Garden from now on,” Wen Nongnong explained. Afraid that her purpose was too obvious, she added, “Aunt Li’s cooking is delicious. Look how plump I am from her cooking. The prince is so thin. If he eats with me, he’ll definitely get stronger too.”
Gu Linchao's gaze fell on her slender wrist, and he paused for a moment. "You're thin too."
"No, no, no, I'm not thin at all. I'm quite curvy in all the right places," Wen Nongnong quickly replied.
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao unexpectedly recalled the scenery he had seen at the dilapidated temple...
His handsome face flushed slightly, and he quickly lowered his eyes, picked up the bowl, and drank the soup.
"Your Highness, isn't this fish soup delicious?" Wen Nongnong asked him eagerly, then added, "However, the fish soup Your Highness made in the suburbs that time was also very delicious."
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then said, "Next time I have some free time, I'll take you fishing there again."
"Okay, okay." Wen Nongnong was unusually happy and even picked up her chopsticks to put a piece of Sichuan-style chicken on his plate. "Aunt Li makes this chicken very well. Your Highness, please have a taste."
Gu Linchao said, "You eat too."
"Okay." Wen Nongnong nodded obediently.
Seeing that she had suddenly become so obedient and virtuous, Gu Linchao was at a loss for what to do with her.
It's as if she wasn't the one who was gossiping about him in the pavilion this morning.
This girl always has a way of making him helpless against her.
The meal was very harmonious.
After finishing her meal, Wen Nongnong wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Your Highness, where shall I sleep?"
Gu Linchao was taken aback; he hadn't thought about that question before.
Confining her to the West Garden today was just a spur-of-the-moment decision; I hadn't considered it much.
When he heard her ask, he hesitated for a moment.
It would indeed be inappropriate to arrange for her to sleep in a side room.
After all, they are husband and wife.
Besides, he had stayed overnight in her room last time.
After thinking for a moment, he said gently, "It will be in the main house, under the watchful eye."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong, whether excited or nervous, clenched her fingers, her beautiful peach blossom eyes fixed on him, "You...you want me to gaze upon your bed?"
Gu Linchao's handsome face flushed slightly, not understanding why she asked such a question.
Since the eyes are fixed on the main house, they are naturally fixed on his bed.
Meeting the girl's surprised gaze, he awkwardly rubbed his fingers, stood up, and said, "I still have things to take care of in the study. I'll be back later."
Wen Nongnong was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Your Highness, may I use your bath?"
Gu Linchao paused for a moment. "Okay."
"Thank you, Your Highness," Wen Nongnong said happily.
Gu Linchao heard this, a smile flashing across his eyes, and left the West Garden.
As soon as he left, Wen Nongnong asked Lüqiao to help her prepare a change of clothes, and then the two of them went to the hot spring pool together.
