Gu Linchao paused, then stood up and handed her a handkerchief. "Wipe yourself."
Wen Nongnong was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and took the money. She wiped her face with it before handing it back to him. "Thank you, Your Highness." With that, she walked out step by step, trying her best to look like a lady from a respectable family.
After watching her leave, Gu Linchao looked down at the handkerchief in his hand, frowned slightly, walked to the wastebasket, and was about to throw it in, but for some reason, he paused and then pulled it back.
Finally, it was placed in the sleeve.
After leaving the study, Wen Nongnong slumped her shoulders, wiped away her sweat, and felt somewhat exhausted.
Gu Linchao, that old-fashioned guy, his stern face was truly terrifying.
However, they managed to get away with it.
Fortunately, she was good at crying scenes, and her tears came easily, which made Gu Linchao change his mind.
Otherwise, if they really bring back a nanny to keep an eye on her tomorrow, her good days will truly be over.
However, where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure; she narrowly won this round.
She slowly exhaled.
Back at Chenxiang Courtyard, she completely let loose.
The armored guards returned all the snacks she had left on the grass.
Fortunately, none of the items she bought were fragile, and since they were dropped on the grass, they were all still intact.
She gave Lü Qiao's share to her, and then had someone deliver Wang Houde's share to him.
She thought that Gu Linchao would keep her confined for at least ten days or half a month, but to her surprise, she had the opportunity to go out the next day.
At that time, she was still lying on the table, struggling with those scriptures, and seemed utterly hopeless.
Just then, Wang Houde suddenly walked in with a smile.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Wen Nongnong was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "Please don't belittle me, Eunuch Wang. I'm locked up in my room all day, what's there to be happy about?"
Wang Houde said solemnly, “Your Highness, you may not know this, but the prince from Xinjiang has come to our Daye with his envoys. Today, His Majesty is hosting a banquet in the palace to entertain them. Ministers and their families are all required to attend the banquet. That is why my master sent me here to inform Your Highness so that you can prepare to enter the palace together. Your Highness can now go out openly and legitimately today. Isn’t that a great joy?”
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong was indeed delighted.
Finally, I don't have to stay cooped up in my room copying scriptures anymore.
Just as she was about to pick out a pretty dress to change into, Wang Houde suddenly coughed lightly and took out a set of purple imperial robes from behind him.
"Your Majesty, this is your ceremonial robe. There will be foreign envoys at the palace banquet today, so you must wear your ceremonial robe."
Wen Nongnong glanced at him, took the imperial robe, and vigorously shook it open.
The jewels studded on it almost dazzled her.
She blinked and asked, "Is this my ceremonial robe?"
Wang Houde nodded, "Yes."
"I like it very much. Please thank Your Highness for me." Wen Nongnong hugged the imperial robe tightly to her chest, thinking to herself that if she ran out of money in the future, she could pry off the gemstones and sell them; they should be worth quite a bit.
Although Gu Linchao's personality was a bit decadent, there were still many advantages to being the Regent's Consort. For example, this imperial robe suited her very well.
Therefore, she should try even harder to cling to Gu Linchao's coattails.
It's good to have a big tree to lean on; in the future, she'll still need him to keep Wen Ruyi in check.
She happily went to change into her ceremonial robes.
Although the imperial robes were too thick and heavy to wear, she had no problem with them and could easily overcome the challenge.
