"Nephew greets Imperial Uncle!" Gu Yi stepped forward and bowed to Gu Linchao.
Wen Nongnong came to her senses and felt inexplicably guilty when she thought about what she had just said.
What a coincidence that Gu Linchao ran into him again!
Noticing the man's gaze, she steeled herself and took two steps forward, then looked up at the man on the reddish-brown horse, feigning surprise, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Gu Linchao gave her a deep look.
He heard everything that girl just said.
When did he find her annoying and wish she were as far away as possible?
This girl loves to make things up.
He pursed his lips, said nothing, and dismounted.
"I happened to have some business to attend to in Tunzhou, and knowing you were here, I thought I'd drop by. Is the banquet over? Are you heading back?"
Wen Nongnong hadn't heard him refer to himself as "this king" in front of her for a long time. Now that she suddenly heard it, she felt uncomfortable and wondered if he was angry.
Thinking about it, she glanced at his face and saw that his expression was ashen and cold. For a moment, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. She scratched her temple and said dryly, "Is that so..." She knew it. Why would Gu Linchao come to Tunzhou if there was nothing wrong with him? She added in a low voice, "I was just about to enter the city."
Gu Linchao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the distance between the two of them. He frowned slightly and suddenly said, "I don't find you annoying, nor do I wish you were as far away as possible."
If he had such thoughts, why would he abandon his political duties and rush to Tunzhou?
That girl is so heartless, thinking of him like that.
Wen Nongnong heard this, and her peach blossom eyes widened suddenly as she looked at him in surprise.
When Gu Linchao was looked at by her mesmerizing eyes, a hint of unease flashed across his handsome face.
Xiao Yan, who had been watching the show for a long time, thought to himself, "What do you mean by coming to Tunzhou on business? He's just here specifically for this girl."
"Nephew's wife, can't you see me? I'm right here, a living person, and you only ask about Hengzhi?" he teased, then dismounted as well.
When Wen Nongnong saw him, her eyes darted around, and she suddenly sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Xiao Yan looked at her, puzzled.
“I didn’t want to say it, but my uncle insisted on asking,” Wen Nongnong said helplessly. “I can’t see my uncle because I only have eyes for our prince. Our prince is just so good at attracting all my attention.”
Xiao Yan: "..."
He didn't eat anything when he came, so why does he suddenly feel so full?
Gu Linchao's lips unconsciously curled up, the aloofness on his handsome face vanished suddenly, replaced by a doting expression, and he beckoned to Wen Nongnong, "Let's go."
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted.
Flattery will get you everywhere.
No matter how meticulous and composed Gu Linchao is on a daily basis, he is still no exception to the common people.
Of course, she believed that he only liked being flattered by her.
She immediately stepped forward and, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, took his arm in an intimate gesture.
Gu Linchao originally wanted to remind her to restrain herself, but the girl suddenly used her sleeve to gently scratch his palm.
A tingling sensation ran through him, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Wen Nongnong hugged his arm affectionately and whispered, "Has Your Highness missed me?"
A hint of unease flashed across Gu Linchao's handsome face, but a sense of pleasure welled up inside him. He restrained himself and gave a low "hmm".
Wen Nongnong was greatly pleased. "I miss Your Highness very much too. I can't wait to go back and be with Your Highness."
Gu Linchao paused, then looked down at her. "Is that so? If I heard correctly, you seemed to have told someone that I don't need you to accompany me, and that you'd rather be as far away as possible."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
How did we end up circling back to the same topic again?
"I was just being modest. I can't possibly tell others that our prince desperately needs my company and can't live without me," she muttered softly. "If I said that, wouldn't people think..." At this point, she suddenly tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "...that the prince is obsessed with women?"
The girl's warm breath suddenly sprayed onto Gu Linchao's ear, and his earlobes turned red rapidly at a visible speed.
His fingers clenched tightly in his sleeve, his voice low and restrained, "Nong Nong, don't talk nonsense."
"Okay, I understand." Wen Nongnong replied obediently, pretending not to see his reddened ears. She then said, "I don't want to ride in a carriage. I want to ride the prince's horse, is that alright?"
Gu Linchao glanced at the people still kneeling on the ground around him, said nothing, but instead helped her up onto the horse by holding her waist.
Wen Nongnong sat on her horse, a smile playing on her lips. Gu Linchao was so easy to talk to.
As soon as she pulled on the reins, the man flipped over and sat behind her. She blinked, naturally leaned her weight on him, and then handed him the reins.
The girl's soft body nestled into his arms, and Gu Linchao's heart trembled. After hesitating for a moment, he finally reached out and put his arm around her waist, while his other hand held the reins. Only when he was about to urge the horse to leave did he say in a low voice, "Get up, both of you."
When everyone got up, they only saw Gu Linchao's horse drive off first, and they could only see his back.
Seeing that Wen Nongnong was not riding in a carriage, Wang Houde immediately stuffed the reins of his horse into Si Yi's hand, and then, taking advantage of Si Yi's inattention, mounted his horse and went to catch up with Gu Linchao and Wen Nongnong.
"Si Yi, the carriage is now in your hands." Wang Houde's voice drifted from afar.
Si Yi's face darkened, and he looked at the carriage with great displeasure.
As soon as Lü Qiao climbed onto the carriage shaft, she saw Wang Houde run away. At this moment, she saw Si Yi's gaze sweep over her, and her body stiffened. She immediately felt a sense of crisis, as if she were being watched by a viper.
She had intended to jump off the carriage and have Bai Li take her, but when she looked up, Bai Li had already ridden away on horseback.
Seeing the aloof young man already walking towards her, she said awkwardly, "Chief... Chief Guard Si..."
Si Yi stepped onto the carriage, sat down next to her, his face sullen and silent, but when he lashed the reins across the horse's back, it made a loud "snap".
Green Fairy's heart trembled a few times. Before she could recover, the carriage she was sitting in suddenly sped away. Her expression changed, and she quickly grabbed the carriage shaft to prevent being thrown off by the suddenly galloping horse.
what to do?
Will Si Yi take this opportunity to get revenge for the time she stepped on his foot?
If she fell off the carriage and died, wouldn't she have no chance to say her last words?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she huddled there tightly.
Si saw it out of the corner of his eye and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
That brat has no guts at all, yet she dared to step on him last time.
