"Sycophant!" Si Yi snorted.
Wang Houde glanced at him and said, "Are you just jealous? The master is really into that."
Si Yi: "..."
Lu Yingying and Su Qianqian also heard it and stared at Wen Nongnong in disbelief.
She actually said such embarrassing things without hesitation.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that she and the Regent were so... well, so explicit in private.
In their eyes, the Regent was so majestic and unapproachable that no one dared to act presumptuously in front of him. However, after Wen Nongnong said such frivolous words, the Regent not only did not get angry and reprimand her, but his eyes and brows were full of indulgence towards her.
Their worldviews were completely transformed, and they were filled with admiration for Wen Nongnong.
That's amazing!
Gu Linchao was afraid that Wen Nongnong would say something shocking again, and he was even more afraid that he would be reluctant to let her go, so he said first, "Aren't we still going to Tunzhou?"
“Yes.” Wen Nongnong seemed to have just remembered, and she hugged his arm and shook it. “Then I’m off. Your Highness, please remember to take good care of yourself. You must eat well, sleep well, and don’t stay up too late.”
Gu Linchao's heart was filled with warmth; this girl...
He closed his phoenix eyes briefly, looking at her with doting affection. "Okay."
Wen Nongnong was finally satisfied. Just as she was about to let go of his hand, he grabbed it back and said gently, "Wang Houde will go with you to protect you."
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment. She wanted to say that she had white pears, but when she saw Wang Houde walking over with a smile, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Well, at least it's Gu Linchao's way of showing his affection for her.
Thinking it over, she immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Wang."
Wang Houde was flattered and overwhelmed. "Your Highness is too kind to this servant. This way, Your Highness. My master has already had a carriage prepared for you."
Wen Nongnong then noticed the black carriage quietly parked to the side, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
Gu Linchao even prepared a carriage for her.
She blinked, a warm feeling washing over her.
Finally, Gu Linchao personally helped her into the carriage.
As soon as she sat down in the carriage, Wen Nongnong eagerly opened the window and looked at the man standing beside the carriage. She couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you are mine now. When I'm not here, you must miss me and not look at other women. You must wait for me to come back obediently."
Gu Linchao was somewhat reluctant to see her leave when he was caught off guard by these words. He was stunned and stared at her in astonishment. This girl...
He curled his fingers, looking somewhat uneasy.
Does she realize how suggestive her words are?
Sure enough, upon hearing this, everyone else froze, staring wide-eyed at the two of them without moving.
After a moment, seeing the girl's unyielding gaze, Gu Linchao gave in and said gently, "I know."
Upon hearing this, the others were utterly bewildered, each thinking they were hallucinating.
It would have been one thing for Wen Nongnong to say those things, but why did the Regent respond so solemnly?
Gu Linchao glanced at Wang Houde, Lü Qiao, and Bai Li standing to the side, and said in a deep voice, "Take good care of the Princess."
"Yes," the three replied in unison.
Gu Linchao looked at Wen Nongnong and reminded her, "Be careful."
"Okay." Wen Nongnong leaned against the window and waved at him.
As the carriage started moving, Wen Nongnong looked back and saw that he was still standing there, which warmed her heart.
If it weren't for something else, she wouldn't have been willing to leave him.
Gu Linchao watched the carriage drive away until it was out of sight before turning back to the palace.
The Imperial Palace.
Since Gu Linchao and Wen Nongnong consummated their marriage, the Empress Dowager felt relieved, but she couldn't help but worry about Xiao Yan's marriage.
Xiao Yan was her parents' youngest child. Before they passed away, her parents entrusted him to her and asked her to take good care of him.
Xiao Yan was only one year older than Gu Linchao.
Although they are said to be siblings, they are more like mother and son.
Because Xiao Yan was practically raised by her.
Gu Linchao is already married, but his marriage is still undecided. How can the Empress Dowager not be anxious?
Therefore, after court today, Xiao Yan was invited over by someone she sent.
Upon entering Jingci Palace, Xiao Yan, as usual, inquired about the Empress Dowager's health before asking, "Did my elder sister call me here for something?"
The Empress Dowager had a great headache over her only younger brother.
She took out a painting directly and said, "This is a portrait of Miss Chen. Take a look."
Seeing her entourage, Xiao Yan knew what she was up to.
His heart skipped a beat.
It seems that Hengzhi and Nongnong have been inseparable lately, which has put my older sister at ease. So now that she has nothing to do, she has turned her attention to him.
He pretended to take the portrait, looked at it carefully, and then commented, "She is beautiful, but isn't her face too thin and pointed? I've seen many mean-spirited people who look like this. If you marry her, not only will you cause trouble at home, but you probably won't be able to make a fortune either."
He looked worried.
But how could the Empress Dowager not know his thoughts?
She laughed and scolded, "You're not young anymore, and you're still so picky. In the end, all the good girls will be someone else's."
Xiao Yan sighed, "If that's the case, then I can only say I'm unlucky."
The Empress Dowager was troubled again when she saw that he had no intention of getting married.
"I'm getting old, and I can't take care of you for very long," she suddenly sighed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was somewhat alarmed and immediately said, "My older sister will live to be a hundred years old. I still want you to take care of me for the rest of my life!"
The Empress Dowager chuckled and said, "With my frail body, I'm afraid I won't last that long." After a pause, she changed the subject, "I know you have no plans to marry yet, but you are not young anymore, and you must leave an heir for the Xiao family. I will give you one month. If you haven't found a girl you like after one month, you will have no choice but to follow my arrangements and marry the girl I have chosen."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
If he had a girl he liked, would he have waited until now to get married? The Empress Dowager is clearly making things difficult for him. In any case, he will have to follow her arrangements and get married in a month.
After bidding farewell to the Empress Dowager, he felt somewhat troubled.
Where is he supposed to find a girl he likes in a month?
If it were that easy to find a wife, he wouldn't have waited until now to get married.
well!
He sighed, realizing that the Empress Dowager had given him a difficult problem.
Xiao Yan was in a state of agitation when, as he was passing through the Imperial Garden, a feather shuttlecock suddenly flew through the treetops and flew straight at him.
Startled, he dodged to the side, but couldn't help kicking the shuttlecock back the way it came.
