"Go ahead. We're already so familiar with each other, you don't need to come with me, I can manage on my own," A-Tuo Jiang Hua said generously, winking at him.
Wen Nongnong coughed lightly, trying to cover up her embarrassment, and said, "Alright then, I'll go take a look. Perhaps our prince has something to tell me."
"Alright, go on ahead." Atuo Jianghua saw right through her and said meaningfully, "Enjoy yourself."
Hearing this, Wen Nongnong, who was putting on her shoes, dropped them to the ground with a "thud," turned around, blushed, and muttered, "What did you say?"
A-Tuo Jiang Hua lay on her back on the bed, playing with her hair, and said with a smile, "Your prince is handsome. Although he looks aloof, you can tell he has a great figure. He's probably the dream man of many girls."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong nearly had a stroke. She narrowed her eyes and said fiercely, "Who dares? That's my man!"
A Tuo Jiang Hua blinked. "I know, but you're only in name. Who knows what might happen in the future?"
Wen Nong Nong calmed down, raised an eyebrow at her, and said, "Who said that? I've slept with my prince countless times. Do you think everyone is like you, all they have are titles?"
A-Tuo Jiang Hua choked for a moment, "I do want to have something with my Emperor, but the problem is he won't give me the chance. And compared to him, I suddenly feel that the Emperor's physique is really too weak, there's not much to see, unlike the Regent, who is both literate and martial, making people..."
"Stop, stop." Wen Nongnong felt something was off as she listened and quickly interrupted her thoughts. "My prince is naturally the best man in the world, but he already has me, so give up on that idea. Even if we have some friendship, if you dare to make a move on my man, I won't be polite to you."
A-Tuo Jiang Hua rolled her eyes. "Even if I'm desperate for a man, I wouldn't lay a finger on my best friend's husband. I'm not bad-looking, why would I demean myself like that?"
Wen Nongnong glanced at her. "So what have you done now?"
A Tuo Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment.
Wen Nongnong continued, "The Emperor is not a good man. As you said, you don't need to demean yourself like that."
“But I’m already in the palace.” Atuo Jianghua sighed, slightly troubled, then said, “Your Daye has a saying, ‘remain faithful to one’s husband until the end.’ Although we Hui people don’t have as many rules, I still have principles. Since I’ve chosen him, I have to be devoted to him.”
Wen Nongnong rubbed her forehead. "Why can't you understand? The Emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and countless women around him. What good is it if you're devoted to him? He doesn't care at all."
Atuo Jianghua lay on the edge of the bed, silent, playing with the tassels on the bed sheet.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong knew that she wouldn't listen to her, so she didn't say anything more.
As a friend, she has given all the advice she could; the rest is up to her to figure out on her own.
She got up and went to the dressing room to change her clothes. When she came out, she saw A-Tuo Jiang Hua sitting cross-legged on the bed with an empty box next to her. In front of her was a painting. She was looking down, biting her fingers, but staring intently at the painting.
At first she didn't pay attention, but then she quickly realized something, screamed, and pounced on him, furious, "What are you doing, rummaging through my things?" She haphazardly rolled up the painting.
