Gu Linchao glanced at the roast chicken in the maid's hand, and when he thought of Wen Nongnong's forced smile when he came out of Chenxiang Courtyard, the corners of his mouth curled up and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
That brat dared to draw a turtle and give it to him, so it's not unreasonable for him to ask her for a roast chicken.
"This roast chicken is yours," Gu Linchao said.
The maid handed the roast chicken to Wang Houde and then withdrew.
Wang Houde was overjoyed. "Thank you for the reward, Master."
"Go down," Gu Linchao said calmly, and sat down again to continue his official duties.
Wang Houde carried the roast chicken out of the study with a happy smile. He looked at Si Yi beside him and said with a bit of smugness, "Si Yi, the master rewarded me with a roast chicken. How about we sit down and have a couple of drinks?"
Si Yi, holding the sword, turned her head away. "I won't eat."
Upon hearing this, Wang Houde shrugged, picked up the roast chicken, and left the study.
"Her Majesty is currently confined to Chenxiang Courtyard and must be having a very miserable time. Why don't we go and have a meal together?" Wang Houde thought his idea was brilliant, and that His Majesty would be very grateful to him.
Agarwood Courtyard.
Wen Nongnong was still upset that the roast chicken she was about to eat had flown away, and she had no mood to copy the scriptures. Just then, Lü Qiao walked in with Wang Houde, looking at her strangely.
"Your Majesty, the master rewarded this servant with a roast chicken, and this servant immediately thought of you and specially brought it to you." Wang Houde said with a smug look on his face.
Wen Nongnong's gaze fell on the roast chicken in his hand, and her lips twitched slightly.
Gu Linchao had planned everything meticulously, but he certainly hadn't anticipated that Wang Houde would return the roast chicken.
Her mood instantly improved, and she jumped off the chair with a radiant smile, pulling Wang Houdala inside.
"Eunuch Wang is so kind to me. I'm starving. This is truly a godsend. Let's eat together."
Wang Houde felt like he was about to float away.
The princess actually took his hand.
He was so excited his face turned bright red.
Finally, the roast chicken was shared among Wen Nongnong, Wang Houde, and Lü Qiao.
Wang Houde returned to his study with a satisfied burp.
When Gu Linchao saw him return, he asked, "Did you finish the roast chicken?"
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. I am very full today. The roast chicken was delicious." Wang Houde said gratefully. Thinking of what Wen Nongnong had said when he returned, he added, "However, I couldn't finish the whole chicken, so I went to Chenxiang Courtyard to find Your Highness. I ate with Your Highness, and she was very satisfied. She also asked me to convey her thanks for the roast chicken."
Gu Linchao immediately raised his eyes and stared at him.
Wang Houde felt as if he were immersed in ice water when Wang Houde was suddenly stared at, and a chill ran down his spine.
Huh, what's wrong with Master?
How did it suddenly turn from sunny to cloudy?
"Now that you're full, go and scrub the toilets in the Prince's mansion," Gu Linchao said coldly after a long pause.
Wang Houde's face stiffened. Now it wasn't just like being immersed in ice water; he felt that he had eaten that roast chicken for nothing.
It turns out that his master's sudden kindness towards him was part of a plan.
Wang Houde was on the verge of tears; he should have known better than to eat the roast chicken.
That master is so mean!
He covered his face and ran out.
Gu Linchao rubbed his temples, he was really angry at Wang Houde, that idiot.
In the end, that roast chicken still ended up in Wen Nongnong's stomach.
He could almost picture Wen Nongnong's radiant smile as she ate the roast chicken.
This was a real blunder; I should have known better than to reward Wang Houde.
Gu Linchao's lips were pressed tightly together into a line.
