When Wen Nongnong entered the Agarwood Courtyard, several lazy maids were chatting in the corner. They only noticed her when she entered and hurriedly came forward to greet her, "This servant greets Your Highness."
Wen Nongnong nodded and instructed, "Prepare hot water for a bath, and also prepare some breakfast."
The maids breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she did not cause any trouble. They quickly agreed and went to prepare.
Wen Nongnong sighed and went into the middle room.
The maid was quite efficient and quickly brought over the hot water.
Breakfast was delivered when Wen Nongnong finished her bath.
She sat at the table, wearing a soft nightgown, and ate some breakfast.
I'm planning to take a nap in a bit.
She hadn't slept all night and was feeling a bit sleepy.
However, just as she finished breakfast and was about to go to bed, Gu Linchao sent Wang Houde to Chenxiang Courtyard to deliver a message.
"Your Highness, His Highness asks you to prepare yourself so that you may enter the palace with him in a short while."
Wen Nongnong sized him up and asked, "Are you Wang Houde?"
Wang Houde was quite surprised to hear this. "Does the Princess know about this servant?"
Wen Nongnong nodded and said with a smile, "Of course I know. Eunuch Wang is a trusted servant of the Prince, and he has always served the Prince wholeheartedly. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Even if I don't know others, I must know Eunuch Wang."
Wang Houde was quite flattered by her words and humbly waved his hand, saying, "Your Highness is too kind. Serving the Prince well is my duty, and I really don't deserve such praise from Your Highness."
Despite saying that, he was grinning from ear to ear, thinking to himself: The princess isn't so unlikable after all.
She's good-looking, and more importantly, she has a sweet tongue.
The Empress Dowager was truly insightful.
"Your Highness has just returned from the border. Is your arrival at the palace to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager?" Wen Nongnong pretended not to see the smile that seemed to be about to burst from his face and asked casually.
Wang Houde nodded, "That's right." Then he sighed, "The Empress Dowager is getting old and her health isn't very good. Don't let your cold demeanor fool you, Your Highness; you really care about the Empress Dowager. This time when you came back, you even specially asked for medicine for her."
Wen Nongnong nodded. "Thank you for informing me, Eunuch Wang. I'll change my clothes and then go find the Prince."
"This servant takes his leave." Wang Houde bowed to her and then withdrew.
Since she was going to see the Empress Dowager, Wen Nongnong chose a plain-colored dress with a dignified style to change into.
When Wen Nongnong finished getting ready and arrived at the gate of the mansion, Gu Linchao was already there.
He changed into a dark green robe, his hair still tied up, and he looked very dignified and noble, yet exuded a clear sense of aloofness.
"Your Highness." Wen Nong Nong walked over and curtsied to him.
"Let's go," Gu Linchao said calmly.
Wen Nongnong straightened up and subconsciously took two quick steps to his side.
Gu Linchao glanced at her, his expression somewhat displeased.
Wen Nongnong blinked, feigning ignorance, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
“Three feet.” Gu Linchao looked at her with a cold expression.
"Oh." Wen Nongnong nodded, but did not consciously step back.
Gu Linchao looked at her patiently, "Don't you understand?"
Wen Nongnong nodded, then shook her head. "I just feel that we are husband and wife, and we shouldn't be so formal."
Gu Linchao glanced at her. "That's just your opinion."
“Husband and wife are one, why distinguish between each other?” Wen Nongnong took another step forward and simply took his hand. “Your Highness, don’t you think so?”
Gu Linchao froze. This woman…
"Let go!"
"don't want."
"Let it go or not?"
"Believe it or not, I'll just hug you."
