"I asked Physician Lin, and he said it's okay to drink a little bit." Wen Nongnong looked at him pitifully.
Gu Linchao rubbed his temples. "Have Physician Lin come over. I want to ask him myself."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
Even if Physician Lin said those words, if Gu Linchao asked him personally, he would definitely say that it was not advisable to drink it.
She listlessly poked at the rice with her chopsticks.
Seeing this, Wen Tingyun said with amusement, "What's so good about this wine?"
"It's easy for you to say that when you're not in my shoes. I haven't touched a drop of alcohol in almost a year." Wen Nongnong rolled her eyes at him.
Wen Tingyun touched her nose and remained silent.
Seeing that she really wanted to drink, Gu Linchao took his own cup and brought it to her lips, saying, "You can only have one sip."
Wen Nongnong was delighted, then grabbed his wrist and, taking advantage of his inattention, drank the entire glass of wine.
Gu Linchao looked at the empty cup: "..."
Having satisfied her craving for alcohol, Wen Nongnong lowered her head and ate her food earnestly.
After finishing their meal, the three of them sat and chatted for a while before Wen Tingyun got up to say goodbye.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Nongnong decided to give the two little ones a bath.
I usually wash them in the afternoon, but now that the weather is getting warmer, it's fine to wash them at night.
The two little ones had slept all afternoon and were still full of energy.
After having hot water prepared, Wen Nongnong thought of something and said to Gu Linchao, "You haven't given the children a bath yet. I'll give you that chance today."
When Granny Ding saw her speaking to the Emperor like that, although she was used to it, she was still worried that the Emperor would be displeased that the young lady was still so impolite now that the Emperor's status had changed.
But she was overthinking it; Gu Linchao showed no displeasure whatsoever.
After hearing Wen Nongnong's words, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said gently, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Wen Nongnong surprisingly said in a serious tone, "You're welcome, it's nothing."
Gu Linchao reached out and ruffled her hair, a smile playing on his lips as he said, "Naughty."
Seeing this, Granny Ding was relieved.
It seems she was worrying unnecessarily.
How could the Emperor be displeased when he dotes on the young lady so much?
"Granny Ding, you must be tired after a long day. Go and rest. The Prince and I can manage here," Wen Nongnong said.
Upon hearing this, Granny Ding instinctively wanted to correct her on how she addressed the Emperor, but seeing that the Emperor didn't seem to mind at all, she swallowed her words.
"Then this old servant will take his leave."
After she left, Wen Nongnong and Gu Linchao each carried a child into the bathroom.
There were two wooden basins filled with hot water in the bathroom, and two small stools next to them.
Wen Nongnong first tested the water temperature to make sure it was just right before starting to remove her daughter's clothes.
Although Gu Linchao had never bathed a child before, he was a quick learner and soon mastered the skill by imitating others.
Looking at his son, whose clothes he had stripped off, a smile flickered in Gu Linchao's eyes.
"Looking at Xiao Jin is like seeing yourself when you were a child," Wen Nongnong said jokingly, looking at her son sitting happily in the water.
Gu Linchao glanced at his daughter, who was also soaking in the hot water and grinning, and said, "Me too."
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment, looking at her naked daughter soaking in the water, and was speechless.
Okay, if the son is a miniature version of Gu Linchao, then the daughter is her miniature version, no problem!
Both little ones love taking baths and don't want to get out of the water once they're in.
However, Wen Nongnong was worried that soaking in the water for too long would cause her to catch a cold. Seeing that it was almost time, she picked up her daughter, dried her off, and dressed her. At the same time, she reminded Gu Linchao to pick up their son.
After their bath and changing into dry little clothes, both little ones were full of energy.
After feeding the two children, Wen Nongnong put them in the cradle and gently rocked it.
Before long, the two little ones, having eaten and drunk their fill, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
When Gu Linchao came out after taking a bath, he saw that the children were asleep and Wen Nongnong was still sitting by the cradle, gazing at the children in a daze. He walked over and pulled her into his arms from behind. "What are you thinking about? It's getting late. Go take a bath."
Wen Nongnong leaned against him, saying lazily, "I don't want to move..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao picked her up and carried her horizontally.
Wen Nongnong was taken aback. "What?"
"Since you don't want to move, I'll wash you," Gu Linchao said naturally, carrying her towards the bathroom.
Wen Nongnong blinked. "You're going to wash me?"
Gu Linchao's lips curled slightly. "Mm."
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head, "No, no, I can do it myself..."
Gu Linchao said with amusement, "Didn't you just say you didn't want to move?"
"I……"
"Be good, it'll be ready in a minute."
Looking at the man's gentle appearance, Wen Nongnong could no longer bring herself to refuse.
"You are the emperor now. Isn't it a waste of your talents to serve me a bath?" Wen Nongnong asked hesitantly as she lay on the bath tub.
Gu Linchao paused in his rubbing of her back, "No matter what my status is, I will always be your husband, serving my wife while she bathes..." He paused, his dark eyes slightly closed, "It's also a kind of bedroom pleasure."
Wen Nong Nong found it amusing to hear him so earnestly repeat the phrase "the pleasures of the boudoir."
Gu Linchao is an extremely upright person, so it is truly rare for him to say such things now.
She blinked, deliberately splashing water on him, "My dearest Emperor, would you like to bathe with me and share the pleasure?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao's breathing became erratic. He quickly grabbed her mischievous hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Nongnong, stop fooling around..."
Wen Nongnong bit her lip and said deliberately, "I'm going to mess with you, what can you do about it?"
Under the lamplight, the girl's porcelain-white skin glowed with an alluring luster, and her captivating eyes, sparkling with light, seemed to beckon...
Gu Linchao swallowed hard, then suddenly placed the handkerchief in his hand on the edge of the bucket, and slowly began to remove his undershirt.
Upon seeing this, Wen Nongnong suddenly remembered the methods he had used to deal with her that afternoon.
She couldn't help but swallow hard, then submerged herself in the water. "Um... I was just kidding, you've already showered..."
"It's too late." Gu Linchao hung the shirt aside, then leaned over the tub, resting his arms on the edge of the tub. "Besides, it won't hurt to wash it again."
Wen Nongnong covered her face with both hands.
Realizing what was happening, she tried to get up, but the man had already stepped in and quickly pressed her down.
Wen Nongnong wanted to cry but had no tears.
...
Before Gu Linchao came to Xiangzhou, although he had already handled all the important political affairs, he had just ascended the throne and many matters in the court required his decision. Therefore, he could not stay in Xiangzhou for long. So the next day, Steward Wang led people to pack their luggage, and the mansion was bustling with activity.
Lü Qiao got up early too, wanting to get to the main courtyard as soon as possible to help Wen Nong Nong pack her luggage.
