However, Gu Linchao seemed to have become addicted to feeding her.
He held her in one arm and whispered in her ear, "I'm taking a break from my busy life. Nong Nong, once we get back to the capital, I might not be able to spend as much time with you as I do now."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong did not refuse again, but obediently opened her mouth and let him feed her.
She almost forgot that being an emperor is very busy.
He was already very busy when he was regent, and now that he's emperor, he must be even busier.
He had to review memorials every day and attend the morning court session.
Thinking about it, it must have been quite tough.
Seeing that she was cooperating with him obediently, but there was a clear hint of distress on her face, Gu Linchao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Wen Nong Nong glanced at him, then wrapped her arms around his neck. "I just think being an emperor is too hard, and I don't want you to have to work that hard."
Gu Linchao paused, then lifted her face. "Feeling sorry for me?"
This time, Wen Nongnong didn't dodge the question. She nodded earnestly, "I feel sorry for you, and... I feel sorry for myself too." As she said this, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, "You're so busy, you probably don't have time to collect beauties, do you?"
Gu Linchao was taken aback for a moment, then, after understanding, he chuckled and gently flicked her smooth forehead, saying, "Having you is enough."
"What? You make it sound like you can't handle me." Wen Nongnong rubbed her forehead, deliberately misinterpreting his meaning.
Gu Linchao paused, his dark eyes fixed on her intently. Then, a slight smile played on his lips. He simply grabbed her, laid her down on the cushion, and said meaningfully, "It seems last night wasn't nearly enough."
Wen Nongnong realized his intention, her eyes widened in fright, and she quickly begged for mercy, "Enough, enough, I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously..."
Just kidding, she was up all night and couldn't even get out of bed this morning. If it happened again, she might just die right here.
Gu Linchao certainly didn't intend to do anything in the carriage; he was just trying to scare her.
Seeing her pale with fright, he couldn't help but smile.
He reached out and touched her face, saying gently, "When Xiao Jin grows up, I will pass the throne to him, and then I will take you wherever you want to go."
Wen Nongnong was taken aback for a moment, but then frowned and said disapprovingly, "Xiao Jin is only three months old, and you're already thinking about him?"
Suddenly I felt so sorry for my son; his father, the emperor, was already plotting against him.
In another carriage, Gu Huaijin, who had just woken up, suddenly sneezed, his dark, beautiful eyes showing a blank expression.
Granny Ding was startled, thinking he had caught a cold, and quickly picked up his little cloak and wrapped it tightly around him.
Gu Yaoyao woke up at this moment. She opened her beautiful big eyes and looked at Lü Qiao who was holding her. Then she turned her head to look at the carriage, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see. She couldn't help but burst into tears.
Wen Nongnong had just finished breakfast when the carriage stopped, and then Lü Qiao's voice came from outside.
"Miss, the princess has woken up and is crying because she can't see you."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong's heart tightened, and she quickly opened the carriage door. Sure enough, she saw her daughter with red eyes, being held in Lü Qiao's arms. When she saw her, she burst into tears again, as if accusing her mother of abandoning her.
Wen Nongnong quickly reached out and carried her inside.
As soon as she was in her arms, Gu Yaoyao stopped crying, but her pouting little mouth made her look extremely aggrieved.
Wen Nongnong felt heartbroken and kissed her little face, saying, "Yaoyao, be good, Mommy's here."
Gu Linchao took Gu Huaijin from Ding Mama's arms and brought her up as well.
Turning around and seeing the mother and daughter embracing, my heart softened.
Gu Huaijin wasn't as attached to her mother as her younger sister, but she was still very happy to see her.
However, being the older brother, he didn't try to take his sister's hug from her after seeing how badly she had cried.
He nestled quietly in his father's arms, being incredibly well-behaved.
Perhaps because it was his first time riding in a carriage, he was very curious, his dark eyes darting around as he looked at the carriage.
After Wen Nongnong finished feeding her daughter, she handed her to Gu Linchao, while she took her son.
Gu Huaijin was held in his mother's arms, and he happily rubbed his head against her chest.
Wen Nongnong looked at the little guy and felt very satisfied.
She used to dislike children, but after having her own, she changed her mind.
She thinks children are adorable, and looking at their cute little faces makes her feel warm and content.
...
Considering the two little ones, the journey was slow, and it was more than half a month later, at the end of May, when we arrived in Beijing.
Children grow up very quickly. In just over half a month, Gu Huaijin and Gu Yaoyao have grown a bit more and are more dexterous in their grasping of things.
Upon arriving at the Empress's residence, as soon as Wen Nongnong alighted from her carriage, Gu Yaoyao grabbed her hair.
She wasn't expecting the little guy's movements and her hair was pulled painfully, making her hiss.
Seeing his mother frown, the little one, completely unaware that he had hurt her, grinned at her as if to ask for praise: "Mommy, look, I can hold on really well now."
Wen Nongnong was both annoyed and amused, and turned to Gu Linchao for help.
Gu Linchao quickly freed her hair from her daughter's grasp.
Gu Yaoyao grabbed at her hair with her little hand, and when she saw that the hair in her hand was gone, she immediately pouted and started to cry.
Suddenly, a rattle drum was shoved into her hand.
She accidentally shook it, making a thumping sound.
She was immediately captivated, waving her little hand from time to time.
The "thump thump thump" sound made her extremely happy, and she completely forgot about her mother's hair, happily playing by herself.
Wen Nongnong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wang Houde, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Wang is indeed very thoughtful."
Wang Houde was delighted to see that the little princess enjoyed playing with the rattle drum. Upon hearing her words, he immediately said, "I noticed that the little masters have grown a bit, so I bought a few toys suitable for them to play with on the way. I didn't expect them to come in handy now."
As he spoke, he took out a rattle drum and placed it in Gu Huaijin's hand.
Unexpectedly, Gu Huaijin only played for a short while before losing interest and letting go, no longer wanting to play.
Seeing this, Wang Houde took something out of his pocket and put it in Gu Huaijin's hand.
Unexpectedly, Gu Huaijin held on tightly this time, his dark eyes scrutinizing the object with great care.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong became somewhat worried, "This child is still so young, how could he like swords? Will he grow up to be violent and aggressive?"
Indeed, Gu Huaijin was holding a jade sword in his hand. It was round, smooth, and small, so it wouldn't hurt his delicate hands when he held it.
Gu Linchao listened to Wen Nongnong's words and said with a smile, "It's good that he likes swords. When he gets a little older, we can teach him martial arts."
Just as Wen Nongnong was about to say something, a slender figure stumbled over and knelt down before Wen Nongnong with a thud, sobbing, "Your Majesty, I don't want to stay in the Cold Palace! Please, Your Majesty, grant me this favor..."
