"It shouldn't be. The Empress Dowager doesn't know about this. However, she went to the temple to pray for blessings and also summoned other noblewomen. If the Princess Consort doesn't go, it would be inappropriate and might even draw criticism," said Granny Zeng.
The Empress Dowager sighed and rubbed her temples. "Why is it so difficult to get these two children to consummate their marriage? Fine, let's wait a few more days. Once Nong Nong returns from the temple, we'll bring her into the palace immediately. This time, no one can stop us."
Granny Zeng nodded. "That's the only way."
...
Gu Linchao returned home rather late today; it was already dark when he got back.
He knew that Wen Nong Nong's foot injury had healed and the dressing had been removed today, but he had been staying at Chenxiang Courtyard for the past few days, so as soon as he returned, he subconsciously went to Chenxiang Courtyard.
Upon arriving at Chenxiang Courtyard, he saw Lüqiao packing her clothes and was taken aback. He looked at Wen Nongnong and asked, "Are you going on a long trip?"
Wen Nongnong pouted, looking displeased. "It's the Empress Dowager. She wants me to go to the temple to pray for blessings. We have to leave first thing tomorrow morning."
Gu Linchao was unaware of this matter. Looking at her reluctant face, he frowned and said, "If you don't want to go, you don't have to."
Wen Nongnong was aware of this, but she didn't want to cause trouble for Gu Linchao.
Gu Heng is now plotting against him. If she uses her privileges again, she will surely be criticized by others, which will be bad for Gu Linchao's reputation.
"It's only for a few days, it's nothing. The main thing is that I'm a little reluctant to leave you, Your Highness." She said, forcing herself to be cheerful, her peach blossom eyes glistening as she looked at him.
Gu Linchao's handsome face flushed, his fingers clenched, suppressing the urge to pull her into his arms, his expression somewhat helpless.
Didn't this girl see there were outsiders around?
They really dare to say anything.
But undeniably, he was also pleased.
Wen Nongnong continued, "Your Highness, please remember to miss me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao hesitated for a moment, but when he met the girl's beautiful, hopeful eyes, he couldn't help but respond softly, "Mm."
Wen Nongnong was not satisfied with his reaction, since he hesitated for a moment before responding, as if he was being reluctant.
But then she thought about his aloof nature, and the fact that he was still able to respond to her was already a big improvement.
Thinking about it that way, she felt relieved.
She blinked and continued to tease him, "Anyway, I'll think about you, Your Highness. I'll think about you while I'm eating, while I'm sleeping, and even when I'm out having fun, I definitely won't forget to think about you..."
Gu Linchao deeply understood why his mother said her mouth was as sweet as honey. Indeed, when this girl's mouth was sweet, it was really irresistible.
"Let's go have a meal." Afraid that she would say something he couldn't handle, he quickly changed the subject.
“Okay.” Wen Nongnong held out her hand to him.
Gu Linchao was stunned for a moment, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Wen Nongnong pouted, "Your Highness, please hold my hand."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao finally understood her intention, feeling both amused and helpless.
It's such a short distance, yet someone has to hold its hand; it's really delicate.
Although that's what I was thinking, I still reached out and took her fingertips, pulling her up.
After dinner, Wen Nongnong looked at the man with a cold expression, sitting alone in a corner reading a book, and couldn't help but remind him, "Your Highness, my foot injury has healed."
"I know." Gu Linchao looked up from his book and glanced at her.
that's all……
Wen Nongnong was speechless.
Or was her hint not clear enough?
Or perhaps she lacks charm?
