Gu Linchao: "..."
Wen Nongnong sighed, stood up, and looked dejected. "Since Your Highness doesn't want me to grind the ink, then so be it..."
Gu Linchao paused, "If you have nothing to do, then come along..."
Before the word "study" could be uttered, Butler Chen suddenly walked in.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Consort Atuo has arrived."
Gu Linchao frowned.
Wen Nongnong was taken aback for a moment, then said happily, "Really?"
Just as Butler Chen was about to nod, Atuo Jianghua rushed in from outside, excitedly calling out, "Nongnong!"
Wen Nongnong was pleasantly surprised and stepped forward to take her hand. "Why did you leave the palace?"
A Tuo Jianghua said in a light tone, "I told the Emperor that my brother is about to return to Xinjiang and I wanted to leave the palace to bid him farewell. I thought the Emperor wouldn't agree, but for some reason, he did. However, he seemed to be in a very bad mood, and his gloomy face was quite frightening..."
As she spoke, Atuo Jianghua noticed Gu Linchao standing to the side and quickly shut her mouth.
Wen Nongnong also felt that it was not appropriate to gossip about Gu Heng in front of Gu Linchao, so she said, "Your Highness, Jiang Hua speaks frankly, please don't mind her."
Gu Linchao didn't pay attention to what A Tuo Jiang Hua said. He wanted to ask Wen Nong Nong if she still wanted to go to the study, but before he could ask, he heard her say again, "Your Highness, you should go to the study to work. Jiang Hua has finally left the palace, so I have to play with her."
Gu Linchao: "..."
He didn't actually want her to have any contact with Atuo Jianghua. Atuo Jianghua had been hanging out with a group of men at Yancui Tower last time, and he was worried that Nong Nong would be led astray by her.
Thinking of what happened last time, he couldn't help but remind them, "You can only play in the Prince's mansion."
"Okay." Wen Nongnong readily agreed, then took A Tuo Jianghua's hand and left the West Garden.
Only after they had left the West Garden did Atuo Jianghua pat her chest and say, "Nongnong, your prince is handsome, but he's really too scary. He's even more frightening than the emperor with his gloomy face."
Wen Nongnong laughed heartily. It was the first time she had heard someone use "beautiful" to describe Gu Linchao. Although he was indeed very good-looking, the word "beautiful" sounded rather effeminate and did not match Gu Linchao's temperament at all. However, this did not affect her mood.
“He’s just scary-looking, but he’s actually a very nice person.” She couldn’t help but speak up for Gu Linchao.
Atuo Jianghua shook her head, "I can't tell."
Wen Nongnong shrugged and then asked, "By the way, did you come out of the palace this time to learn dance from me?"
Atuo Jianghua immediately nodded, "That's right, please teach me quickly."
Wen Nong Nong sighed, "Are you really not going to reconsider? The Emperor already has Wen Ruyi, and Wen Ruyi has his child. It's probably not very likely that you can win the Emperor's heart."
Speaking of this, A-Tuo Jiang Hua got angry. "I heard that Wen Ruyi is your third sister. How come she's nothing like you? She's not as kind as you either. She looks weak and easy to bully, but she's actually wicked. Yesterday, I went for a walk in the Imperial Garden and I saw her insulting a concubine. When the Emperor came, she threw herself into his arms and cried, saying that the concubine bullied her and even pushed him."
The Emperor was furious and immediately ordered the concubine to be banished to the Cold Palace. I couldn't stand by and watch, so I testified on behalf of the concubine that she hadn't cursed Wen Ruyi or pushed her. Wen Ruyi, however, didn't say a word, only kept crying. When the Emperor saw this, he didn't believe me at all and even warned me to behave myself. It really infuriated me!
