Upon seeing him, her face lit up with joy, and she rushed forward, exclaiming, "Your Highness, you're back!"
She ran very fast, unlike ordinary young ladies who had to walk carefully and maintain their dignity at all times. She had no such concerns at all. Lifting her skirt, she ran towards him, like a beautiful butterfly spreading its wings, attracting people's attention.
Gu Linchao was immediately drawn to her, his gaze following her every move.
When they reached the horse, she looked up at him with her small face, her eyes overflowing with joy.
Gu Linchao was stunned for a moment, and the gloom in his heart vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of warmth.
He slightly closed his phoenix eyes, a smile curving his lips. He dismounted, took her hand, and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
He rarely took Wen Nong Nong's hand by his own initiative, so when he suddenly grasped her hand, Wen Nong Nong couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It took her a while to come to her senses, a sweet feeling welling up inside her. "Your Highness, I've made you some ginseng soup..."
Gu Linchao stumbled and almost fell, looking at her strangely. Was she obsessed with ginseng soup? Why was it always ginseng soup?
Wen Nong Nong thought he was blaming her for running out of the West Garden without permission, so she explained, "Your Highness, I didn't disobey you and deliberately ran out of the West Garden. I just missed you so much and couldn't wait to see you, so I ran out without your permission."
She hadn't mentioned it, and Gu Linchao had actually forgotten about confining her to the West Garden. But when he heard what she said, his handsome face flushed slightly. He subconsciously glanced at the servants around him, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one had heard him.
Why does this girl always manage to say such... embarrassing things so directly?
After a long while, he calmed himself down and said gently, "You don't need to be confined anymore. You can go wherever you want."
Wen Nongnong blurted out, "Your Highness, you're so kind! May I go to Tunzhou for a visit?"
Gu Linchao frowned. "Why do you always want to go to Tunzhou?"
"Because Tunzhou is close to the capital, it's also known as the 'Little Capital'," Wen Nongnong explained.
Gu Linchao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll take you next time I have time."
Wen Nongnong thought to herself: It wouldn't be fun if I went with you.
However, she didn't show it on her face, but nodded obediently, "Okay." Then she added, "Your Highness, please go in and drink the ginseng soup."
Gu Linchao's temple throbbed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly decide to make me ginseng soup again?"
“Because ginseng is nourishing.” Wen Nong Nong blinked. “The prince is so good to me, I have no way to repay him, so I can only stew some ginseng soup for you to nourish your body.”
Gu Linchao: "..."
Wen Nongnong continued, "I've already seen the luminous pearl that the prince gave me this morning, and I like it very much."
Gu Linchao rubbed his forehead with his fingers; it turned out the luminous pearl was the culprit.
"Let's go, let's go. I've been waiting for you to come back, and I haven't had my meal yet," Wen Nongnong urged.
Hearing that she hadn't eaten yet, Gu Linchao didn't hesitate any longer, took her hand, and returned to the West Garden.
After finishing his meal, Gu Linchao was about to go to his study when Wen Nongnong quickly said, "Your Highness, would you like me to grind the ink for you?"
Seeing the overly attentive girl, Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then had to admit, "I don't have any luminous pearls left. If you like, I can have someone find some."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
After a long pause, she coughed awkwardly and said with a righteous expression, "Your Highness, I'm good to you, do I need any reward? In your eyes, am I that kind of person?" As she spoke, she showed a sad expression.
