Academician Lu was flattered and suddenly looked up.
Gu Nuo’er’s watery eyes were very bright on her pink and delicate face.
It was just like the sun that is high above where nothing could compete with it in terms of its glory.
“When I was three years old, I read Uncle Lu’s proposal. I know that you’re from a poor family and that you’re from the State Ke.”
Academician Lu was very shocked.
Back then, he didn’t have any money on him. Even if he passed the imperial examinations, he was assigned to the most useless Hanlin Academy.
He became a small junior historiography compiler.
However, he was ambitious and often wrote all kinds of suggestions, wanting to send them to Gu Yihan’s imperial desk.
However, because his status was low and he didn’t have any connections, he had always remained unknown.
The reason why he could be an academician and stand here as Gu Yihan’s trusted aide…
It was completely because Noble Consort Qiao’s family had recommended him.
However, the recommendation he was given back then was a kind of a streak of luck for him.
He didn’t even know Noble Consort Qiao’s father, the Grace Defender Duke.
He only knew that the Grace Defender Duke suddenly wrote a letter and strongly recommended him.
Gu Yihan naturally started to use Academician Lu.
Ever since then, Academician Lu had also thought of asking the Grace Defender Duke in private.
However, every time he met Old Master Qiao, the latter would only wave his hand warmly and explain that he admired his talent.
However, he was such an insignificant person back then.
He was so inconspicuous among the hundreds of officials.
How did Old Master Qiao, who was known as the Invincible God of War in Great Qi, know about him?
However, in the past few years, Academician Lu had always been diligent in serving the people.
He had been using the knowledge from the books he had read to repay the imperial court and the commoners.
He looked at Gu Nuo’er’s delicate and cute smile.
Academician Lu suddenly had a vague guess.
Could it be that Her Highness saw his suggestion when she was young and asked the Grace Defender Duke to recommend him?
However, he wasn’t wrong.
Gu Nuo’er had read many articles written by officials during the imperial examinations since she was young. She often treated what those advanced officials wrote as materials for her bedtime reading.
Therefore, at the age of three, she saw the pride of a scholar from Academician Lu’s handwriting!
It was her responsibility to choose talents for her father.
Of course she couldn’t let go of such a good seedling.
Gu Nuo’er looked at Academician Lu’s shocked expression and smiled sweetly.
“Uncle Lu, the plan you wrote mentioned that although State Ke is suffering, the people are open-minded and passionate.
“On the occasionally dry land, there are people who work together to overcome difficulties. There are also heartwarming cases where servants fall sick but their masters carry them on their backs and walk for five kilometers to look for a doctor.
“I still remember you mentioning that the flatbread your mother made was superb in State Ke. Although she has already passed away, that taste and the memories of your hometown…
“It’s as if it’s engraved in your dreams. Every time you dream back at night, you’ll remember that your original intention in studying was to help State Ke get out of poverty.”
Gu Nuo’er reached out her small hand and handed the memorial to him.
Her black eyes were clear and innocent, and there was a slow smile in them.
That feeling was like a god looking at the mortal world with a hint of gentleness that showed pity for the world.
“Now, the opportunity is right in front of you.”
It was as if someone had poured a basin of water from the heavenly lake into Academician Lu’s head.
He was enlightened.
He hurriedly came back to his senses. His eyes were red and two streams of tears suddenly fell while trembling.
Academician Lu knelt in front of Gu Nuo’er and raised his hands high.
“Your Majesty and Your Highness, please give this subject this chance.. This subject will definitely not let you down and will purge the entire State Ke to return its peace!”
