Originally, Gu Linchao genuinely believed that the luminous pearl had fallen into a trap, after all, Wen Nongnong's acting skills were too good.
Just now, he clearly heard her say that she was about to fall asleep, but she made some rustling noises inside, and he didn't know what she was doing.
It wasn't until a warm white light flickered on the tent that he suddenly realized what was happening.
So, the luminous pearl didn't fall into the pit, but was instead stolen by this girl?
Gu Linchao's lips twitched slightly.
Is this girl really that serious?
If she likes it, she can just tell him directly. Why bother with all these little tricks?
Gu Linchao was both amused and exasperated.
However, although he saw through her little scheme, he did not expose her.
The next day.
Wen Nongnong was still asleep when Gu Linchao got up to prepare for court.
She vaguely heard a sound, opened her sleepy eyes, and saw him walking out. She quickly tried to get up, "Your Highness, let me see you out..."
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then turned around and saw that she looked like she couldn't open her eyes. He said gently, "No need, you can continue to look down."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong lay back down. "Then Your Highness, please come back soon. I'll be waiting for you at home so we can have breakfast together."
Gu Linchao paused, a strange feeling rising in his heart, and said slowly, "Okay."
As he closed the door and left, he saw her gracefully yawn before closing her eyes again.
He smiled and closed the door.
When Wang Houde saw him come out, he seemed to be in a good mood. He wondered if his master and the princess had consummated their marriage last night.
That's great!
He rubbed his hands together happily, feeling one step closer to the birth of his little master.
After Gu Linchao went to court, Wen Nongnong lowered her eyes for a while, until it was fully light, before slowly getting up.
Thinking of her luminous pearl, she quickly took it out from her bosom.
With Gu Linchao gone, she could finally watch openly and legitimately.
It's so beautiful.
She placed the luminous pearl on the quilt and then lay down to admire it for a while.
It wasn't until Green Fairy knocked on the door that she carefully put the luminous pearl back into her bosom.
Just as she was about to get out of bed, her hand bumped into a box next to her pillow. Because she wasn't paying attention, she almost knocked the box to the ground.
She managed to catch it with great difficulty.
"What's inside?" She couldn't help but shake it gently, hearing a crisp clinking sound from inside. Out of curiosity, she opened the lid.
"They're luminous pearls!" she exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening. And there were two of them.
The box was just placed next to her pillow. Was this... a gift from Gu Linchao?
If she had known Gu Linchao was so generous, why would she have done that kind of thing last night?
However, she would never have too much.
She put the one she was holding into the box as well, and then got up happily to wash up.
In the imperial palace, in the imperial court.
Following Gu Heng's instructions, Hao Fulu read aloud the letter of state sent by Bei Di in court.
The ministers were quite surprised upon hearing this.
"Bei Di has always been ambitious and has coveted my Great Enterprise for a long time. Why is he suddenly sending a princess to Great Enterprise for a marriage alliance?"
"Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be agreed to. The Northern Di have been harassing the border for many years and have killed countless people of our Daye. We must not allow them to set foot in our Daye." A more radical minister remonstrated with a face full of grief and indignation.
"Yes, they are known for their cruelty and warlike nature. It's impossible for them to easily establish friendly relations with our great cause. We mustn't fall into their trap," some ministers echoed.
However, some ministers held the opposite opinion: "Years of war are not good for the development of our great cause. Since they are willing to take the initiative to make peace, why not go with the flow and agree to their terms?"
"Yes, the relationship between Daye and Beidi has been deadlocked for so long. Now that they are willing to back down, we should also show the magnanimity of a great power and repair diplomatic relations with them."
