However, after that, Ye Siming kept holding the child’s hand and didn’t let go. When Gu Yihan noticed this, he felt a hint of dissatisfaction.
He frowned and said, “Marquis Yongye, why are you still holding the princess’s hand? It’s time to let go.”
However, Ye Siming’s expression didn’t change as he explained calmly, “I’m afraid that the princess will fall again. There are many tables and chairs here. If she knocks into them and gets hurt, won’t Your Majesty’s heart ache?”
Gu Yihan felt that what he said made sense.
He reached out his hand. “I’ll hold her hand.”
However, at this moment, Ye Siming’s deep eyes revealed a hint of vigilance.
He wanted to hold the child in his hand, so he didn’t want to give her to others.
Just as Gu Yihan sensed that something was wrong…
A cry of surprise came from the side. “Your Majesty?! Is it really you?!”
This shout frightened everyone in the chess hall who had yet to leave. They all turned to look.
Gu Yihan was stunned and looked back.
It was Censor Zhang, who was wearing casual clothes.
Censor Zhang lifted his robe and quickly walked over, observing Gu Yihan from head to toe.
When he recognized that it was indeed his beloved emperor, he quickly cupped his hands and bowed.
“This subject pays greetings to Your Majesty!” The others in the chess hall were all stunned.
The emperor was here?!
Gu Yihan gave Censor Zhang a few looks, gesturing him not to expose his identity.
However, Censor Zhang didn’t see it.
Instead, he turned around and saw a pair of small feet wearing pink butterfly shoes.
Looking up, it was Princess Yaoguang’s snow-white and cute face.
Censor Zhang was shocked and quickly bowed to Gu Nuo’er.
Right on the heels of that, when he saw Ye Siming, he bowed repeatedly. “Marquis.”
Gu Yihan couldn’t take it anymore and simply gritted his teeth and took off his mask.
He placed his hands on his hips and scolded angrily, “Censor Zhang, you always do things without looking at me. I’m visiting incognito. Why are you so stupid?!”
As soon as Gu Yihan finished speaking..
The sound of clothes rustling and kneeling could be heard in the chess hall.
Everyone shouted, “Long live Your Majesty! Long live the princess!”
Onlv then did Censor Zhang react.
He explained anxiously, “His Majesty, this subject knows my mistake. This subject just didn’t expect to see you here. This subject was really surprised and didn’t react for a moment. Please punish me!”
Censor Zhang suddenly saw a pair of beautiful eyes from the corner of his eye.
He looked over in confusion.
Noble Consort Qiao lifted her hood and was smiling with her red lips.
Censor Zhang was shocked.
Just as he opened his mouth, Gu Yihan reprimanded, “Hold it in!”
Censor Zhang covered his mouth with both hands and silently knelt on the ground.
Gu Nuo’er’s voice was soft as she asked curiously, “Uncle Zhang, are you also here to attend the poetry gathering?”
Censor Zhang replied embarrassedly, “Your Highness, this subject is here to eat pastries from the Four Seasons Sweet Shop…”
“Huh?” The child blinked.
Censor Zhang said helplessly, “Every time this subject queues up to buy it, it will be sold out by the time it’s my turn. This subject heard that it can be tasted in the chess hall, so this subject came to take a look.”
Gu Nuo’er covered her mouth with her small hand and chuckled.
“Uncle, you should have said so earlier. Next time, I’ll get someone to send it to your house alone. I’ll make sure there’s enough!”
Censor Zhang kept a low profile and hurriedly waved his hand. “This subject would dare, this subject wouldn’t dare.”
Gu Yihan threatened, “How dare you not accept the princess’s bestowal?”
Censor Zhang trembled in fear and hurriedly said, “This subject would dare, this subject wouldn’t dare.”
Gu Nuo’er went to help him up. “Uncle Zhang, stop kneeling. It’s fate that we met by chance, quickly get up!”
At first, Censor Zhang didn’t dare to get up casually. From the corner of his eye, he saw that His Majesty didn’t seem to have any objections.
Only then did he stand up slowly.
He then thanked Gu Nuo’er.
Just now, he was kneeling on the ground and enduring the scrutiny and sizing up from Gu Yihan, Noble Consort Qiao, and Ye Siming.
He actually felt a lot of pressure!
