“Take off your clothes,” Wen Nongnong said matter-of-factly. “This imperial robe I’m wearing is beautiful, but it’s really heavy. Wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage if I wore this to compete with others?” Most importantly, what if the princess of Xinjiang secretly took all the jewels on it?
Thinking of something, Wen Nongnong leaned closer and whispered, "Is Your Highness worried that I'll be exposed? Don't worry, I'm wearing another dress underneath. You can see for yourself." As she spoke, she reached out to lift her skirt.
Gu Linchao felt fortunate that he did not have a heart condition, otherwise he might have died on the spot.
A gloomy look settled between his brows, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he glanced at her with hidden anger before turning to Wang Houde and ordering, "Take the Princess Consort to change her clothes."
"Yes." Seeing that his master seemed about to get angry, Wang Houde was filled with anxiety and fear. He quickly said to Wen Nongnong, "Your Highness, please come with me."
"Oh." Wen Nongnong put down her hand, stood up with a smile, and followed Wang Houde.
Upon seeing this, the Hui princess scoffed, "Is the Regent's Consort trying to flee in disarray?"
Wen Nongnong turned around and glanced at her, then said with amusement, "What are you thinking? Just wait and see. When I get back, I'll beat you until you're crying for your parents and can't find your way back to Xinjiang. Be good, wait for me."
The audience burst into laughter again.
Although the Regent's wife's words were rather vulgar, seeing the Hui princess's aggressive and arrogant face turn liver-colored in an instant still felt exceptionally satisfying.
Xiao Yan laughed until tears streamed down his face. He wiped his eyes and said to Gu Linchao, "Good nephew, you've married a good wife. Haha, I'm dying of laughter, how can someone be so adorable..."
Gu Linchao glanced at him indifferently.
Xiao Yan immediately stopped talking.
The Wen family members, who were not far away, looked somewhat worried.
Their daughter, Nong Nong, has always been pampered and never lifted a finger. She can't lift a finger, and she's supposed to go up and compete with a princess from Xinjiang? How could she possibly be a match for her?
What if I get hurt in a little while?
Everyone in the Wen family, including Wen Tingyun, was extremely worried about Wen Nongnong and wished they could take her place. Only Wen Tingyun was not worried at all and was full of confidence.
The one who gets beaten up and cries must be the Uyghur princess.
He was quite relaxed, even dragging over the fruit platter to eat slowly, intending to watch the show later.
Seeing that he wasn't worried about his sister at all, Wen Shiqing slapped him on the shoulder in anger, "Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating. You don't care about your sister at all."
Wen Tingyun looked utterly innocent. "I can eat, so why wouldn't I?"
Wen Shiqing: "..."
He took a deep breath; if it weren't for the fact that swearing was so uncivilized, he would have wanted to curse at this kid right now.
Isn't that heartless?
What kind of older brother is he?
Before long, Wen Nongnong returned.
She changed into a white women's outfit, and removed all the hairpins and ornaments from her hair. She walked over without any jewelry, looking clean and refreshing, yet she still attracted the attention of many people.
Gu Linchao's gaze lingered on her plain face for a moment before shifting away.
The dancers in the arena had already left.
Wen Nongnong stood still in the middle of the field, waiting for the Hui princess to return.
At this moment, Gu Linchao suddenly stood up.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he suddenly walked towards Wen Nongnong.
"Your Highness?" Wen Nongnong was taken aback.
