Wang Houde almost laughed out loud, but said seriously, "No, the princess is, after all, the master's first wife. Perhaps it won't be long before the master remembers and lifts your restrictions."
Wen Nongnong slumped into a chair, covered her face with her hands, and said sadly, "Heavens, what sins have I committed?"
Wang Houde felt he couldn't stay any longer, or he would lose his composure, so he quickly handed over the writing brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and scriptures he had brought to Lü Qiao.
"This servant will return now."
“Miss, this…” Green Fairy looked at the thing in her hand, then at Wen Nongnong, who looked utterly hopeless, hesitated for a moment, and said, “How about I copy it for you?”
"You can write?" Wen Nongnong's eyes lit up.
Lü Qiao scratched her head. "I know a few, and I'm willing to learn for you, Miss."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
Well, she had too high expectations for Lü Qiao.
"It's good that you have the intention, but you don't need to learn it specifically for me. I can just copy it myself."
"Oh." Green Fairy felt utterly useless, unable to help her mistress. She sighed, turned around, and spread the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, then opened and put the scriptures away.
Wen Nongnong took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves, squatted down on the chair, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and then began to write on the white paper.
Seeing her posture, Lü Qiao assumed her calligraphy had improved, then peeked out and... uh, what is this...?
The next day, in the study.
Gu Linchao was handling government affairs when Wang Houde walked in carrying a stack of papers.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has sent someone to deliver a copy of the scriptures."
Gu Linchao paused, his voice cold, "Bring it here."
"Yes." Wang Houde placed the scriptures in his hand on the table in front of him.
Gu Linchao frowned as he looked at the scrawled handwriting in front of him, and raised his hand to rub his temples.
Wen Nongnong was indeed not very literate.
He endured the pain of his aesthetic sense being ravaged and flipped to another page. This time, his handsome face suddenly darkened.
When Wang Houde saw it, he took a closer look and was so frightened that he bit his finger.
There wasn't a single word on the paper, but a lifelike turtle was drawn on it.
Actually, nothing was written on it, but this scripture was meant for the master to see. The princess specially drew such a turtle; wasn't she scolding the master?
Wang Houde quickly took two steps back, not daring to look at his master's expression.
Gu Linchao slammed his hand on the table in anger, his face darkening. "Summon the Princess Consort!"
"Yes." Wang Houde dared not delay and hurriedly went to do so.
"Never mind, I'll go myself." Gu Linchao stood up, grabbed a stack of papers from the table, and left the study.
Agarwood Courtyard.
The servants sweeping the courtyard were so surprised to see Gu Linchao walk in that they forgot to go in and announce his arrival.
It wasn't until Gu Linchao entered the main room, exuding a chilling aura, that everyone snapped out of their daze.
Good heavens, the prince has actually come to Chenxiang Courtyard! This is truly unprecedented.
Inside the room, Wen Nongnong, with her hair in a bun and sleeves rolled up, squatted on a round-backed chair, writing furiously while taking a break to eat the grapes that Lü Qiao fed her.
I heard that these grapes were a tribute from a foreign country. There were only a few baskets in total. The palace kept one basket, another basket was sent to the Regent's Palace, and the rest were distributed to the ministers.
Gu Linchao naturally didn't eat these things, so they all ended up in Wen Nongnong's stomach.
When Gu Linchao entered, he saw this scene.
Wen Nongnong doesn't look like someone who's been confined to her home at all.
"Smack!"
Green Beauty had just peeled a grape and was about to feed it to Wen Nongnong when it suddenly fell onto the table.
