“Regent, how can you remain unmoved when a beauty begs for your hand? I will fetch the Queen for you.” At this moment, the young man suddenly stepped forward.
However, before he could make a move, Gu Linchao had already leaped into the air.
Before Wen Nongnong could react, her clothes were suddenly tightened, and she was lifted up.
Yes, she was lifted up, not embraced around the waist as she had imagined.
Once she stepped onto solid ground, Wen Nongnong seemed to wake from a dream. She turned her head slightly and saw only the man's perfectly sculpted jawline.
Before she could take a closer look, the other person released her and took two steps back.
Wen Nongnong blinked.
Xiao Yan sighed, as if he hadn't had enough of watching the show, and reached out to pat Gu Linchao on the shoulder.
But as always, he was disappointed this time as well.
Gu Linchao gave him a cold look.
Xiao Yan touched his nose, trying to save face, "Hengzhi, it's not that your uncle is criticizing you, but your niece-in-law is a young lady, and you were being too rude. No young lady would like that."
He had barely finished speaking when a whooshing sound came from behind him.
He instinctively turned his head away.
A long spear gleaming with a cold light grazed past his shoulder.
Xiao Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
Turning his head, he saw that the "nephew's wife" he had mentioned had somehow acquired a long spear and was fiercely slashing at him.
He swallowed hard, dodging as he yelled, "Hey, nephew's wife, let's talk this out, don't hit me!"
"I think your uncle has too much energy and nowhere to release it, so let me help you loosen up your muscles." Wen Nongnong chased him all over the field with a spear in hand.
"Hengzhi, save me! Your wife has gone mad..." Xiao Yan was so frightened that he ran around in all directions, not forgetting to ask Gu Linchao for help.
Gu Linchao's face was now as black as the bottom of a pot.
The young man, Si Yi, Wang Houde, and the group of armored guards were all dumbfounded.
Coming to his senses, the young man clapped his hands in praise, "The Regent's Consort may seem delicate, but her spirit is clearly no less than that of a man. She's just as good as the girls from our Hui region."
Tomorrow is the palace banquet. I really want to see the Princess Consort and our Xinjiang girls compete. I just wonder who will win?
Gu Linchao glanced at him indifferently, "If the Prince of Huijiang wants to watch wrestling, I will take you to the training ground. There are plenty of skilled wrestlers there."
The young man waved his hand and said with a smile, "What's the point of watching men compete? This prince wants to see a contest between the princess and my Hui girl."
"Then I'm afraid the prince will be disappointed." Gu Linchao's voice was indifferent, then he added, "Excuse me."
When the young man looked over, he saw that Gu Linchao, who had been standing next to him, had moved behind Wen Nongnong and suddenly grabbed her shoulder.
"Snap!" Wen Nongnong winced in pain, dropping the spear from her hand. Turning her head, she saw Gu Linchao's cold and aloof eyes. She frowned and said, "Your Highness, you hurt me..."
As she spoke, she reached out to push his hand away, but Gu Linchao released her first, took a step back, and gave her a stern look. "Come with me."
Looking at the man with frost between his brows, Wen Nongnong slumped her head in dejection and followed behind him.
Xiao Yan plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, too exhausted to speak.
My nephew's wife is too fierce; she almost killed him.
He wiped his sweat.
Others: "..."
