Wen Nongnong said meaningfully, "But your departure has actually benefited Wen Ruyi."
A Tuo Jiang Hua paused for a moment, then understood. She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "That's not necessarily true. Since returning from the Regent's Palace that day, I heard that the Emperor hasn't stepped into Wen Ruyi's bedchamber again. I heard that he's been staying in the Imperial Study these past few days."
Wen Nongnong asked in surprise, "Why is that?"
A-Tuo Jianghua shrugged. "I don't know either." Then, she said with some regret, "I thought that after that day, the Emperor would summon me to his bedchamber, but who knew he had no intention of doing so at all. Of course, in such a large harem, no one has the honor of serving the Emperor."
Towards the end, Atuo Jianghua regained her composure.
Wen Nongnong's lips twitched slightly.
I don't understand what she's after.
She shook her head, looking rather helpless.
As Empress Dowager Guo boarded the carriage with the help of a palace maid, she immediately spotted Gu Linchao's black carriage.
She paused for a moment, but when she saw Wen Nongnong get into the carriage, her face turned gloomy.
Gu Linchao actually let Wen Nongnong ride in his carriage to the temple. This special gesture was really... glaring.
A Tuo Jiang Hua followed behind Wen Nong Nong, wanting to ride in the carriage with her. Seeing that she got on, she naturally wanted to get on as well.
However, as soon as she lifted her foot, Si Yi reached out and stopped her, saying without any politeness, "Consort Atuo, your carriage is on the other side."
Atuo Jianghua frowned, "I know, but I want to sit with your queen..."
"No one except the princess is qualified to ride in our prince's carriage," Si Yi coldly interrupted her.
Atuo Jianghua: "..."
She felt she had been severely disrespected.
But unfortunately, the other party's master is the Regent.
Hearing the noise, Wen Nongnong leaned out of the carriage window. "Siyi, let Consort Atuo come up. I'll go to the Prince's place..."
Before she could finish speaking, Si Yi interrupted her, "His Highness has already made an exception for His Highness, why should His Highness make things difficult for him?"
Wen Nongnong: "..."
Why did this kid's words make her feel like he was pushing his luck?
Well, given Gu Linchao's personality, it was indeed an exception that he would give her his own carriage. She shouldn't be ungrateful, but Jiang Hua was her friend.
She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
A Tuo Jiang Hua rolled her eyes at Si Yi and said to Wen Nongnong, "Never mind then. We can play together when we get to the temple anyway. I'll go back to my carriage to sleep."
"Alright, then we can play together when we get to the temple," Wen Nongnong said with a hint of helplessness.
After watching Atuo and Jianghua walk away, Wen Nongnong looked at Si Yi and couldn't help but ask, "How old are you this year?"
Si Yi lifted his eyelids and glanced at her indifferently, "Seventeen."
Wen Nongnong said in surprise, "So you're still so young." This kid always looked so old-fashioned. She thought he was older than that. Of course, she didn't mean he looked old, but he gave the impression of being older than seventeen.
Si frowned and retorted, "It's not young anymore."
“Usually only children keep emphasizing that they are not young anymore,” Wen Nongnong said with a smile.
Si Yi coldly replied, "That's still older than you."
“That’s true.” Wen Nongnong nodded, completely unconcerned about his attitude, and then said, “I’ll introduce you to a girl, would you like?”
Si Yi turned her face away and resolutely refused, "No."
“Didn’t you say you’re not young anymore? Look, your master is already married. Shouldn’t you follow his example?” Wen Nongnong said.
