She rolled her eyes.
Suddenly, Empress Zhong asked, “That Princess Yaoguang will also be attending tonight’s banquet, right?”
The palace maid was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Yes, you were the one who invited her.”
Empress Zhong pursed her red lips and said with a faint smile, “Very good. I’ve never officially met this Princess Yaoguang before.
“If she comes tonight, prepare a cup of wine and get her to come and pay her respects to me.”
Although the palace maid was puzzled, she still lowered her head and replied, “Yes.
“However, Your Majesty, this servant heard that Princess Yaoguang is very smart.”
The palace maid meant that if the Empress wanted to give Gu Nuo’er an opening gambit…
Things probably wouldn’t go smoothly.
However, Empress Zhong naturally didn’t have such plans.
She smiled brightly, her eyes flickering with viciousness. “I just want to get to know her, so you must treat her respectfully.”
“This servant understands.” The palace maid nodded.
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
The sky was filled with stars and the moonlight was bright.
The dark blue starry night reflected the prosperity of the palace.
The welcoming banquet for Wei Cang was held in the Taiping Garden.
Consort Lu had originally invited Gu Nuo’er and Ye Siming to go with her. However, the child rejected her.
Gu Nuo’er smiled sweetly. “Pretty consort, you and Brother Shen’er will be the center of attention no matter where you go.
“If I follow you guys, I won’t have fun!”
When Consort Lu heard this, she covered her mouth gently and smiled. “Then can I leave a palace maid to accompany you?”
Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. It’ll be fine with Elder Brother Siming accompanying me. “Pretty consort, don’t worry. Let’s meet again at Qinghe Hall tonight!”
Hearing her persistence, Consort Lu didn’t force her anymore.
She smiled and said gently, “Alright, if there’s any trouble at the banquet, come and look for me.’
After saying that, Consort Lu held Ling Shen’s hand and boarded the soft sedan Ling Tianyin had sent over.
Ling Shen stuck out his round face from the window and waved at Ye Siming and Gu Nuo’er.
He said extremely reluctantly, “Elder Brother Ye, Elder Sister Nuo’er, see you later!”
After they left.
Ye Siming held Gu Nuo’er’s small hand and walked along the palace path with the night wind blowing.
There were stone lamps with gentle lights every few steps on both sides of the palace path.
The light from the lanterns made Gu Nuo’er’s small face look even more obedient and fair.
She raised her head and didn’t say anything, looking at Ye Siming obediently with her big eyes.
When the youth sensed this, he lowered his head and looked at her. “What’s wrong?”
“Elder Brother Siming.” Gu Nuo’er’s voice was soft. “It’s been hard on you today. You had to beat so many people to protect me.
“Your hands must be very tired. Let me massage them for you and blow on them!”
The child picked up Ye Siming’s well-defined knuckles and rubbed them with all her might before blowing twice.
Ye Siming saw that her small round face had a serious expression.
He couldn’t help but sneer.
“What’s so tiring about that?”
When the child heard this, she was about to let go.
Ye Siming frowned and suddenly came to a realization.
“But… but my finger joints still feel a little sore.” He paused and said in a deep voice.
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes, wearing an ‘I knew it’ expression.”
“That’s right! I saw that you broke a chair in passing and then lashed someone with a stick. You’ll definitely be tired! I’ll give you a massage!”
The child rubbed his hand considerately.
A trace of joy and comfort appeared in Ye Siming’s eyes.
He even slowed down a little.
Gu Nuo’er’s actions were filled with heartache.
“Elder Brother Siming, I’ll practice my Iron Head Technique well. If we encounter big baddies in the future, I’ll be able to help you too..”
