Back in her bedchamber, Empress Dowager Guo sat down in front of her dressing mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face, and then sighed softly.
She wasn't old, and her appearance was quite striking, but...
Suddenly, Wen Nong Nong's beautiful face flashed through her mind...
Even she had to admit that Wen Nongnong was extremely beautiful, and she was so young, only a teenager, that she and Gu Linchao were a perfect match.
Gu Linchao has never had a woman by his side before. Now that he has married such a wife, he must pamper her very much, right?
Thinking about this, she felt a pang of sadness.
The Empress Dowager is really good to Gu Linchao. Even the wife she chose for him is a rare beauty. Even if the beauty is not very smart, she is beautiful and young. Just looking at her is a pleasure.
Gu Linchao himself is exceptionally talented; what does it matter whether his wife is intelligent or not?
That's what the Empress Dowager was thinking, right?
She knew that the Empress Dowager had mistreated Gu Linchao too much in the past, and in her later years, she wanted to make it up to him.
But she really did choose a wife who was far too beautiful for Gu Linchao.
A shadow crossed her eyes.
The Regent's Palace.
As soon as Gu Linchao stepped into the mansion, he saw Wen Nongnong pacing anxiously.
As soon as she saw him return, she rushed forward, "Your Highness, how did things go?"
Gu Linchao paused slightly. "What?"
Wen Nongnong asked, "Did you try to stop the Emperor from taking Wen Ruyi as his concubine?"
"I cannot interfere with the Emperor's decisions," Gu Linchao said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong blurted out, "Gu Linchao, you're so useless."
Gu Linchao's handsome face darkened. Who gave this woman the audacity? He was about to reprimand her when he heard her say, "Aren't you the Regent? How dare the Emperor disobey you? You really disappoint me." With that, she stormed off in a huff.
Gu Linchao: "..."
Wang Houde and Si Yi took several steps back, pretending to be deaf and that they hadn't heard anything.
Gu Linchao came to his senses, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.
Wen Nongnong is a woman who really needs to be disciplined!
"By my order, the Princess Consort is ignorant of etiquette. From today onwards, she is confined to Chenxiang Courtyard and ordered to copy the scriptures one hundred times. Without my order, she is not allowed to leave Chenxiang Courtyard." Gu Linchao said in a deep voice, then walked to the study.
Despite immense pressure, Wang Houde went to Chenxiangyuan to convey Gu Linchao's words.
As soon as Wen Nongnong returned to Chenxiang Courtyard, she grabbed an apple and started eating it.
She was truly disappointed that Gu Linchao had failed to expel Wen Ruyi from the palace.
She was biting into the apple with a loud crunching sound, as if she were competing with someone.
After hearing Wang Houde's words, the apple in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
"Eunuch Wang, did I say anything disrespectful to His Highness just now?" She calmed down and began to think about whether she had gone too far.
Wang Houde looked at her sympathetically and nodded. "I told her."
"What did I say?" Wen Nongnong's eyes widened.
Wang Houde shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness, please stay in Chenxiang Courtyard these next few days and copy the scriptures. This servant will return to report."
Wen Nongnong hurriedly asked, "How long will I be grounded?"
"Well... it depends on the master's mood," Wang Houde said with difficulty.
"What if he's in a bad mood for the rest of his life? Will I be trapped here and die?" Wen Nongnong asked with a mournful face.
