Wen Nongnong: "..."
She suddenly twisted the handkerchief in her hand nervously.
The Empress Dowager smiled and glanced at Granny Zeng.
Zeng Mama understood and said to the two of them, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please come with this old servant."
When Gu Linchao saw that Wen Nongnong was now shy, the corners of his lips curved up. He took her hand and followed Zeng Mama out.
The Empress Dowager was overjoyed as she watched the two leave.
Oh dear, the young couple can finally get married tonight.
Gu Linchao and Wen Nongnong followed Granny Zeng out of the main hall. At this moment, Hao Fulu came over and said, "Regent, His Majesty heard that you have entered the palace and has something to discuss with you. Please come to the Imperial Study."
Upon hearing this, Granny Zeng frowned. "Chief Steward Hao, the Regent is unavailable tonight. Let's discuss this tomorrow. Go back and tell the Emperor that this is the Empress Dowager's wish."
Hao Fulu was immediately in a dilemma, "But His Majesty has an urgent matter..."
Wen Nongnong was suppressing the burning sensation in her stomach when she saw this. She thought that Gu Linchao would definitely not ignore Gu Heng, because Gu Heng had said that he had something urgent to discuss with him.
However, Gu Heng's urgent matter came at a very opportune time.
In this way, she and Gu Linchao won't have to consummate their marriage tonight.
Thinking about it, she didn't know whether she felt relieved or somewhat disappointed.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming somewhat awkward, just as she was about to break the silence, the man's deep, cold voice rang out, "Tell the Emperor that I have drunk some wine and am feeling dizzy. I'm afraid I cannot discuss matters with him. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Granny Zeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Gu Linchao had spoken, Hao Fulu naturally dared not say anything more, and hurriedly replied "Yes" before withdrawing.
Gu Linchao gripped Wen Nongnong's hand tightly and said to Granny Zeng, "Granny, lead the way."
“Okay.” Granny Zeng quickly agreed and led the two to the side hall.
Wen Nongnong had anticipated that the side hall would be elaborately decorated, but she hadn't expected it to be so luxurious.
The side hall was very large, with luminous pearls embedded in the walls. The floor by the door leading to the large bed was covered with red roses, and large red candles were lit on both sides of the flower path. The furnishings inside were also predominantly red, making it look bright and festive.
Being there, Wen Nongnong suddenly felt like she was on her wedding night; it was very ceremonial.
I never expected the Empress Dowager to put in so much effort.
She pursed her lips and glanced around. Apart from the luminous pearl, the flower path, and the candles, every item inside was carefully chosen. However, the most eye-catching item was the large bed in the center. The bed was exceptionally large and decorated with bright red curtains. Even the bedding on the bed was bright red.
Wen Nongnong also spotted a white cloth spread on the bright red mattress from afar.
Realizing what it was for, her face flushed.
Not far from the bed was a bathtub, the kind that could accommodate two people bathing at the same time, with steam rising from the water, adding an ambiguous atmosphere.
Upon seeing this, Wen Nongnong's fingers clenched quietly, her heart pounding like a drum.
Granny Zeng stopped at the door and said with a smile, "The change of clothes is ready and is in the wardrobe. There are also palace servants on duty outside. If you need anything, you can just call them."
"Thank you for your trouble, Granny," Gu Linchao said gently.
Granny Zeng shook her head: "If there's nothing else, this old servant will go back to serve the Empress Dowager first."
"Okay." Gu Linchao nodded.
After Granny Zeng left, Gu Linchao's gaze fell on Wen Nongnong, and he said gently, "Go in."
Wen Nongnong snapped out of her reverie, glanced at him, and nodded absentmindedly, "Oh." She then stepped inside.
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then stepped inside and turned back to lock the door.
The sound of the bolt being pulled down startled Wen Nongnong.
She clutched her chest, feeling as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat.
Thump thump, it was jumping exceptionally fast.
This wasn't the first time the two had shared a room, but this time it was clearly aimed at consummating their marriage. Even though she was usually very bold, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous when the moment came.
After she finally calmed down, she realized there were no footsteps behind her and couldn't help but turn around to look.
Then they saw Gu Linchao leaning lazily against the door, his handsome face flushed an unnatural red, as he loosened his collar.
Wen Nongnong was taken aback. Seeing that he didn't seem to be feeling well, she went over and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Let me help you to the bedside."
However, as soon as her hand touched the man's arm, his fingers were gripped tightly.
Wen Nong Nong looked at him in surprise.
Gu Linchao looked up at her, then suddenly said in a low, hoarse voice, "I don't feel well anywhere..."
The man's low, husky voice, tinged with desire, reached her ear, and Wen Nongnong unconsciously tightened her fingers, her body going numb. Her peach blossom eyes widened as she looked at him helplessly, stammering, "Then, what should we do... Should we call the imperial physician to take a look?" She must have drunk too much of that soup.
Hearing her slightly silly words, Gu Linchao chuckled, his slender fingers stroking her face, and said meaningfully, "The imperial physician can't cure it."
Wen Nong Nong blinked, quickly realizing what he meant, and her face flushed.
The girl's thick, long eyelashes brushed against his fingertips, and Gu Linchao felt a ticklish sensation, as if the tickling reached his heart.
He stared at her intently, then suddenly pulled her arm, pinning her against the door behind him. His warm breath brushed against her lips as he whispered, "Nongnong, I drank two bowls of soup..."
Before Wen Nongnong could react to why he said that, the man's kiss suddenly came over her, taking away her breath and her thoughts.
She was completely stunned and couldn't react for a long time, except that the burning sensation in her abdomen was getting worse.
Only when her body felt lighter and the man bent down to pick her up horizontally did she wake up as if from a dream, raising her eyes to look at the man's handsome profile, and then looking at the large bed not far away.
Thinking about what was about to happen, her breathing suddenly became rapid, and she looked at him with moist eyes.
Gu Linchao noticed this and tightened his grip on her arm, but even so, he still managed to place her on the edge of the bathtub with astonishing composure.
Suddenly stepping on the ground, Wen Nongnong was still a little taken aback.
"Do you need my help?" Gu Linchao suddenly asked.
"Help me with what?" Wen Nongnong asked blankly.
Gu Linchao gave her a deep look, but did not answer. Instead, he lowered his head and reached out to help her untie her belt.
When Wen Nongnong saw the bathtub next to her, she realized what was happening, and her peach blossom eyes widened slightly.
Is Gu Linchao planning to bathe with her now?
She swallowed hard.
Isn't this moving a bit too fast? After all, it was her first time, and she wasn't mentally prepared.
but--
Her gaze suddenly fell on the man's tall and slender figure. She had never seen Gu Linchao completely naked before.
I wonder what his physique looks like under his trousers?
Thinking of this, curiosity finally prevailed. She suddenly grabbed Gu Linchao's hand, suppressing her excitement, and said shyly, "Let me help Your Highness change first."
