455 What Did Elder Brother Siming Go Off To Do?
Gu Nuo’er rubbed her head against Gu Yihan’s shoulder.
“Father, it should be bringing Baby Nuo and Mother home. Mother was very amazing just now. With just a few swooshes, she beat the baddie to the ground in a few moves!
“Not only did she protect Baby Nuo, as well as the nanny and grandpa in the shop, but also protected Baby Nuo’s hard work!”
Gu Yihan’s narrow eyes swept over and he turned to look at the noble consort.
He reached out his palm, indicating for the noble consort to hold it.
“Let’s go,” Gu Yihan said to her softly.
Noble Consort Qiao quickly walked up and placed her hand tightly in her husband’s palm.
Gu Yihan carried his daughter in his left hand and held Noble Consort Qiao’s hand with his right.
The family of three walked out of the shop. Xie Xingli smiled apologetically and followed beside them.
The imperial guards brought Gu Yihan’s magnanimous carriage over and Xie Xingli watched as the emperor and the others left.
Before leaving, Gu Nuo’er didn’t forget to lift the curtain. She swayed her small feet and said softly, “Uncle Xie, you have to be a good official who can distinguish between public and private matters in the future!”
Xie Xingli quickly cupped his hands and said, “This subject will remember Your Highness’s teachings.”
Gu Nuo’er narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly. “Send my regards to Elder Sister Yinxiang.”
Only then did the carriage turn around and leave the street.
When he could no longer see the carriage, Xie Xingli heaved a sigh of relief.
He wiped his forehead, which was covered in a cold sweat, with his sleeve.
He had almost been implicated by Third Zhang just now and could have gotten killed!
In the carriage, Gu Yihan let Gu Nuo’er sit on his lap.
He raised his cold eyes and looked at the noble consort, asking calmly, “Noble Consort, you can tell me now. Why did you lie?”
Noble Consort Qiao, who was sitting beside him, froze.
The emperor still asked in the end.
She pursed her red lips.
Wondering if she should tell the truth.
However, she was afraid that the emperor would be jealous and think that she was competing with him for their daughter’s favor!
At this moment, Gu Nuo’er said softly, “Father, don’t blame Mother. I asked her to hide it from you!”
“Oh? Why is that?” Gu Yihan’s expression clearly improved when facing his daughter.
Gu Nuo’er’s voice was soft. “It’s because Mother and I want to give Father a surprise. We originally wanted to ask Mother to help me take a look at the renovations today.
“If it’s not bad, we’ll invite Father to be Baby Nuo’s first customer. But who knew that before Mother could take a look, we met the baddies!”
Gu Yihan’s eyes lit up. “Is that true?”
Gu Nuo’er nodded without hesitation.
“It’s true. If Father can be the first customer, then Baby Nuo’s shop will be the place the emperor has been to. It’s simply an honor!”
As she spoke, the child hugged her father’s arm tightly and shook it gently.
“Father, when the time comes, can you take the time to come and try it?”
Gu Yihan laughed heartily. “Why not? If it’s something that Baby Nuo wants to do, Father will support you no matter what.”
He looked at Noble Consort Qiao with a much gentler gaze.
“You still want to hide such a thing from me? However, Noble Consort has been with me for many years and I already know your personality.
“Every time you lie, you’ll use your hand to tuck your hair behind your ear. It’s been so many years, but you still haven’t changed this habit.”
Noble Consort Qiao’s heart skipped a beat.
To think that this was where she had made a mistake!
She pouted her red lips and said helplessly, “Your Majesty, in short, your consort won’t be able to get out of your hands. In the future, your consort won’t dare to hide things from you anymore.”
Gu Yihan chuckled. “That’d better be the case.”
The carriage passed by a lively street market. Gu Nuo’er lifted the curtain, wanting to smell the fragrance of the sweet pastries drifting on the street.
However, the moment she lifted the curtain, she saw Ye Siming walking into a restaurant.
Gu Nuo’er tilted her head slightly and blinked curiously.
What did Elder Brother Siming go off to do?
The carriage moved very quickly. After it made a turn in the corner, Ye Siming’s figure disappeared.
