the next day.
Madam Zeng came early in the morning.
She went directly to West Garden.
Gu Linchao didn't sleep much last night, and he just woke up now.
Wang Houde went in to wait for him to wash and change his clothes.
After getting dressed, Si Yi's report came from outside the door.
"Master, Nanny Zeng is here."
When Gu Linchao heard this, the veins on his forehead twitched.
What is Grandma Zeng doing again
"What is it?"
"My lord, this old slave is here to collect the Yuan Pai under the order of the Empress Dowager." Madam Zeng said respectfully outside the door, paused, and then asked, "Is your majesty up? This old slave didn't disturb the princess's sleep." Bar."
Even through the door, Gu Linchao could hear Madam Zeng's laughing voice.
but-
"Yuan Pa?" He asked Wang Houde.
Wang Houde quickly explained in a low voice.
After speaking, he didn't dare to look up.
The concubine didn't stay in the West Garden last night, where did you get the Yuan Pa
However, Gu Linchao understood, with a layer of gloom covering his brows and eyes, he said to Wang Houde: "Go to the bed."
Wang Houde stared at him blankly, and after a long while, he realized that he quickly went to fetch a piece of white cloth and spread it on the couch.
As soon as he turned around, his master handed over a sharp dagger.
Wang Houde turned pale with shock, "Master, master wants to kill this slave?"
"Stretch out your hand!" Gu Linchao ordered.
Wang Houde stretched out his hand tremblingly.
"puff!"
The blade light flashed, and in the next moment, a gash was cut on his index finger, and dark red blood flowed out one after another.
"Drip on the veil." Gu Linchao ordered again.
Looking at the blood on his fingers, Wang Houde felt a little dizzy, his mind was in a mess, so he could only obediently obey.
Nanny Zeng waited outside the door for a while, but Gu Linchao did not come out. Just as she was about to step up to inquire, the door opened in front of her eyes.
Wang Houde came out with a pale face, and put a white handkerchief into her hand.
"Yuan Pa you want."
Nanny Zeng was wondering why his face was so pale, but Yuan Pa diverted her attention the next moment.
She quickly unfolded it and looked at it, and when she saw the plum red on it, she was immediately satisfied, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty worked hard last night, remember to ask the kitchen to cook more soup for your qi and blood, I have to go back to the palace first .”
Wang Houde thought: he is the one who should nourish Qi and blood.
"Understood, Nanny Zeng, go slowly." He said politely on his face.
Madam Zeng left happily.
Not long after, Gu Linchao came out, wearing a purple court dress, ready to go to court, his face was still cold, as if nothing happened just now.
Wang Houde hesitated to speak.
What he wanted to say was, why is the prince so troublesome, it would be fine if he just consummated the marriage with the princess.
But he only dared to think about these words in his heart, but he dared not say them out.
Besides, after Nanny Zeng took the Yuan handkerchief, she went straight back to the palace.
The Empress Dowager had already got up, and when she saw her coming back, she asked urgently, "How's it going, did you get it?"
"I got it, I got it." Nanny Zeng nodded with a smile, and hurriedly took out the Yuan handkerchief to show her.
The Empress Dowager took it and looked at it, grinning from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, finally the Ai family's worries are over."
"If things go on like this, you will probably be able to hold a grandson again soon." Madam Zeng said with a smile.
The empress dowager's face was full of smiles, and she also looked forward to it, "Actually, Aijia likes grandchildren and grandchildren. If it's a boy, it must be like Chao'er, and if it's a girl, it must be like Yanlong. They are all good children, children Like any of them."
