Futu Imperial Abode had its back against the dense forest and faced the Jian River.
As it was at the highest position in the mountain, one could oversee the surrounding mountains and rivers.
It was late autumn now. The red leaves in the mountains had yet to completely wither and were hanging precariously on the branches.
The mountain wind blew past and the sound of rustling leaves filled the mountain.
It was both quiet and lonely!
As the imperial hunting ground favored by the three Great Qi emperors, the Futu Imperial Abode had been repaired many times.
Now, the imperial abode was decorated majestically. The golden tiles and arches were smooth and the red walls were brightly colored.
In the imperial abode, flowers that had been carefully taken care of by the gardener could be seen everywhere.
They were not afraid of the coldness of the season and bloomed in full swing.
Everyone knew that because His Majesty liked hunting, the flowers and trees in this imperial abode, so thousands of gold were spent every year on gardeners to cultivate them well.
At this moment, the colors of the flowers and willows made the gorgeous imperial abode look even more luxurious.
“Nuo’er, the Jian River is on the other side of the hunting ground. The water is surging and turbulent. If you’re running around to play, don’t go there.”
In the hall where they were temporarily resting, Noble Consort Qiao helped Gu Nuo’er tidy up her two buns as she reminded her gently.
The child’s big and bright black eyes flickered and she pursed her pink lips into a sweet smile.
“Mother, don’t worry. Nuo’er is the most obedient. I won’t run around recklessly.”
At this moment, Gu Yihan had gathered the officials and was using his free time to discuss government affairs.
Gu Nuo’er couldn’t sit still in the hall. She asked softly, “Mother, can I go play with Elder Brother Siming?”
Ye Siming and Bai Yi lived in a palace not far from His Majesty’s sleeping quarters.
Noble Consort Qiao patted the creases on her dress. “Marquis Yongye is probably very busy now. Your father asked him to help keep an eye on the imperial guards. He might be arranging the troops now.”
The child thought for a moment. “Oh, then I’ll go out for a walk and come back later!”
After saying that, she waved her small hand, turned around, and ran out of the door.
Noble Consort Qiao smiled helplessly and said, “Wanyin, go and follow the princess.”
“Yes.”
When Gu Nuo’er came out of the palace Gu Yihan lived in, she was in a dilemma as to whether to go left or right.
The palace where the emperor lived was the tallest and largest in the entire Futu Imperial Abode.
The officials lived around His Majesty according to their official grades.
To the right of His Majesty’s palace was where the consorts and the princes lived.
The Empress was recuperating and didn’t come along.
As Noble Consort Qiao had brought the little princess along, His Majesty kept her by his side at all times and the three of them lived in the same palace.
On the left of His Majesty’s palace was the officials’ residence. It was also close to the hunting ground.
The hunt would only start tomorrow.
The child was in a dilemma. Should she go and play with her brothers or watch Elder Brother Siming train the troops?
Wanyin had already caught up from behind and saw the child looking to the left and then to the right.
She covered her mouth and smiled gently. “Her Highness, why don’t this servant bring you to see the flowers in the flowerbed? I heard that the gardeners have cultivated a rare epiphyllum that will bloom in these two days.” Gu Nuo’er immediately felt a hint of interest. “How rare is it?”
“It’s said that it can only bloom once every three years. It’s a rare find in the world and has a purple-red color. It’s very different from ordinary epiphyllums. His Majesty asked the gardeners to nurture it diligently so that when the flower blooms, he can give it to the noble consort.” It turned out that the flowers were meant for her mother!
Then she must go and have a look!
“Elder Sister Wanyin, let’s go!”
The child reached out her hand and took Wanyin’s hand, walking to the right happily..
