Should she take advantage of him being fast asleep, secretly pull down his pants, and take a peek?
Although she no longer cared whether he was really a eunuch, the words the empress had said suddenly popped into her mind, stirring up a restless desire within her.
To dig or not to dig?
Bai Li's small face was furrowed in distress.
Actually, it wouldn't be a problem if she just glanced at it secretly, right?
Anyway, Eunuch Wang was sleeping so soundly that he wouldn't know.
Thinking of this, she swallowed hard and reached out towards Wang Houde's waistband.
Just as her hand was about to touch his belt, Wang Houde, who had been fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
Feeling guilty, Bai Li immediately withdrew her hand and stood up.
Wang Houde's eyes appeared blurry due to his intoxication.
He vaguely saw someone sitting by the bed, but he was too drunk to think it was the eunuch who usually took care of him, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
He propped himself up on the bed, slowly sat up, and ordered, "Little Li, fetch the chamber pot..."
When Bai Li saw him suddenly wake up, she thought he had discovered her little scheme. Unexpectedly, he was just in the urge to urinate.
"Oh," she replied, taking the chamber pot from her. "Here you go."
Wang Houde stood up unsteadily. "Put it down."
"Oh," Bai Li replied, and put down the chamber pot as instructed. As soon as she stood up, she saw that he had already pulled down his pants.
Bai Li's head buzzed, as if something had exploded inside her brain. She stared unblinkingly, forgetting to look away.
After Wang Houde finished relieving himself, he pulled up his pants, turned around, and lay back down on the bed, completely unaware that "Little Li" was still standing there blankly.
It took Bai Li a long while to come to her senses.
The scene she had just witnessed kept replaying in her mind.
She had always been curious whether Wang Houde was a real eunuch, but when she actually saw him with her own eyes, she was deeply shocked.
She had never actually seen an adult male's penis, but she had seen a child's.
She had seen children urinating on the roadside before, so she always thought that there was no difference between adults and children.
But just now...
Her face suddenly became hot and red.
The difference is too great; it's not what she thought at all.
So, someone like Eunuch Wang should be considered someone who wasn't castrated, right?
She walked out the door like a lost soul.
A moment later, he returned, took the chamber pot to clean it, then came back, closed the door, and went back to Luanfeng Palace.
Although the Empress said she didn't have to stand guard at night, she couldn't sleep tonight, so she sat on the veranda outside the palace all night.
However, after sitting there all night, she still couldn't calm down, and her mind kept wandering to all sorts of random thoughts.
It wasn't until dawn, when she saw Wang Houde walking towards her from afar, that she suddenly came to her senses.
After a night's sleep, he should have sobered up and was now waiting for the emperor to go to court.
Although Gu Linchao no longer needed his service after living with Wen Nongnong, he still made it a habit to come and wait by the door every morning.
When Bai Li saw him, he also saw her.
He was about to call her when the girl, like a mouse seeing a cat, suddenly leaped onto the roof and ran away in a flash.
Wang Houde paused in his steps.
What's wrong with Bai Li? Why does she look so guilty?
He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think much of it and waited by the door for his master to come out.
Inside the palace, Gu Linchao had already woken up.
Just as he was about to get up, the girl's slender arms suddenly came across and hugged his waist.
"Time to go to court again..."
Wen Nong Nong opened her eyes and glanced at him, then closed them again, muttering something under her breath.
"Mmm." Gu Linchao lowered his head and kissed her fair forehead before removing her hand.
However, just as he sat up and was about to put on his shoes, the girl's soft body suddenly leaned against him from behind.
The girl's snow-white arms encircled his neck, her moist lips brushing against his earlobe as she said with a hint of threat, "You must come back for breakfast after court. If you don't come back, I won't eat, and I'll wait until you return..."
Gu Linchao was taken aback. He turned his head slightly and saw that although she was saying threatening words, her eyes were closed. He couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Wen Nongnong didn't hear his reply, so she opened one eye, glanced at him, and saw that he still had a smile on his face. She couldn't help but poke his face with her finger. "I'm serious. Don't take it lightly. I won't eat if you don't come back."
Gu Linchao glanced at her with a smile, then gently laid her down on his lap. He curled his long fingers and lightly stroked her delicate nose. "I know, I'll definitely come back."
Wen Nongnong was finally satisfied. She got up from his lap, climbed into the couch, and lay down again.
"Then you should go to court now, I won't keep you any longer."
Gu Linchao smiled and said, "Alright, then keep your eyes down for a while longer."
After this ordeal, Wen Nongnong lost her interest in looking down at him, so she turned to watch him put on his robes.
She didn't necessarily want him to come back to dine with her, but if she didn't threaten him like that, he would go straight to the Imperial Study to handle government affairs as soon as court was over, and often didn't even eat breakfast.
If this continues, his body will surely break down.
She had good intentions.
...
Wang Houde noticed that Bai Li had been avoiding him for the past two days.
Whenever she saw him, the girl would run away as if he were some kind of monster.
That day, he had just arrived at Luanfeng Palace when he happened to see her coming out. He quickly called out, "Bai Li."
When Bai Li saw him, her expression changed, and she turned to run away, but this time, Wang Houde was prepared and grabbed her wrist first.
"Why do you run away as soon as you see me?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at her scrutinizingly.
Bai Li secretly groaned, but pretended to be calm and said, "No, I didn't run away."
"Then why don't you dare look at me?" Wang Houde asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li had no choice but to turn her gaze to him, "You've misunderstood, I wasn't ignoring you."
When Wang Houde saw her eyes darting around as she spoke, he knew she was lying.
However, he didn't expose her. Instead, he pulled out a food box from behind him and handed it to her. "This is eight-treasure duck that just came out of the imperial kitchen. Would you like some?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Li swallowed hard, her gaze involuntarily fixed on the food box in his hand.
She could almost smell the aroma through the food box.
She was somewhat unable to resist the temptation of the food and was about to nod, but the scene she had witnessed that night quickly flashed through her mind, and she immediately shook her head. "I...I won't eat. Eunuch Wang, I have things to do, please let me go." As she spoke, she struggled to free her wrist.
But Wang Houde held her tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.
She struggled a few times, her face turning red, and couldn't help but shout angrily at him, "Let me go right now!"
"Unless you tell me why you're avoiding me," Wang Houde stared at her, feeling utterly helpless. This girl couldn't even be tempted by her favorite food; something serious must have happened that he didn't know about.
Thinking of this, he became somewhat solemn.
