Gu Nuo’er’s eyes were black and filled with intelligence.
She covered her mouth with her small hand and secretly said, “With Elder Brother Siming around, I’ll be very relieved.”
Ye Siming sneered and didn’t comment.
He held the child’s hand and walked into the hall, passing by the family of the Grace Defender Duke, Old Master Qiao.
Ye Siming stood upright and cupped his hands to greet them.
The youth’s clothes were bright today, making him look even more arrogant and handsome, surpassing everyone else.
Old Master Qiao had a very good impression of this young and promising marquis, and especially admired his skills.
Moreover, a long time ago, Bai Yi had even learned military tactics from Old Master Qiao for a while.
He looked at Ye Siming as if he was looking at half of his grandson.
Therefore, he took the initiative to chat with him.
Ye Siming’s reply was also calm and steady. When it came to opinions, there were many things that coincided with Old Master Qiao.
The palace servants led them to sit at the front, near the emperor’s table.
Gu Nuo’er wanted to return to her seat.
Ye Siming lowered his head and told the child in a low voice, “Go and sit down obediently.”
Gu Nuo’er casually agreed to Ye Siming’s request, but when she turned around, she saw a palace maid in fluttering gauze passing by with a tray of wine.
The sweet fragrance of wine immediately lingered in the child’s nose.
Gu Nuo’er narrowed her eyes and was about to follow the palace maid.
However, Ye Siming grabbed her small hand.
She turned around and met the youth’s slightly raised eyebrows. He warned,
“You can’t drink either.”
Gu Nuo’er could only pout. “Alright.”
Only then did Ye Siming let go and watch as the child ran to the side of the emperor’s throne and sat down on her dragon and phoenix chair.
Gu Nuo’er sat upright, but she couldn’t help but look around. From time to time, she would reach out her small hand and wink at the consorts whom she was close with.
Ye Siming looked at her fair and cute face and couldn’t help but smile.
When he retracted his gaze, he realized that Qiao Xiuli, who was sitting opposite him, was holding a teacup and looking at him quietly.
His deep eyes were sizing him up.
Ye Siming was not afraid at all. He raised his long eyebrows and his gaze was filled with youthfulness.
Qiao Xiuli smiled faintly and spoke first. “Marquis Yongye treats Nuo’er as considerately as if you’re her biological brother. With you by her side, we might be able to rest assured.”
Ye Siming sneered. “I can do better than her biological brothers.”
Qiao Xiuli was speechless.
Although there was nothing wrong with the meaning of his words, why did it sound strange?
At this moment, a eunuch announced, “The young master of the Gu Family and the young miss of the Gu Family have arrived!”
The hall, which was originally filled with voices, instantly fell silent.
They all turned to look at the door.
Gu Xinghan walked in front and looked like he had just sobered up. His eyes were still a little drunk.
Gu Rao lowered her head and walked behind him. She probably felt embarrassed but had no choice but to come.
Everyone immediately whispered to each other—
“How can they still have the cheek to come to His Majesty’s birthday banquet?
They’ve already lost their titles. Could it be that they want to lose their lives
“The deposed Prince Guang probably wants to play the family card by letting the two children come. However, what he did previously made His Majesty so angry. He definitely won’t want to see their family anymore.”
Facing everyone’s sizing gazes, Gu Xinghan even smiled sloppily. “Oh my, everyone is here!”
Everyone present couldn’t help but frown and curse such a b*stard in their hearts. Fortunately, he wasn’t their son. Only Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes.
Grand Consort Yu didn’t come?
The child closed her eyes and sensed for a moment before opening her long eyelashes, her black eyes shining like pearls.
Her small face looked innocent and cute.
She could still have her fun today.. She should wait patiently!
