Chapter 69: My Nuo’er Has to Learn to Play With Human Lives
At the same time, in the imperial study.
The Censorate’s Lord Zhang reported respectfully, “As Your Majesty has expected, that rich merchant, Ji Yongwang, just entered the capital four days ago.
“He immediately organized a banquet to welcome himself. It was such a grand scene that would outdo even a sixth-grade official.”
Gu Nuo’er sat on her father’s lap, swaying her fair and tender legs and stepping on the throne’s armrest.
She grabbed a piece of pastry with her hands and was putting it into her mouth.
She looked at Censor Zhang with her big and watery eyes.
As Gu Yihan hugged his daughter, he sneered. “He’s scared that others don’t know that he bought an official position, so he made such a grand scene?”
Censor Zhang nodded and said, “After this subject’s investigation, Ji Yongwang has a good relationship with Minister Sheng. However, I haven’t found any evidence that Minister Sheng is watching out for him.”
At this point, Censor Zhang quickly added, “However, this Ji Yongwang has invited some officials to his house as guests three days later.
“I believe that when the time comes, this subject can pretend to flatter him and find out some information to see if I can discover any leads.”
Gu Yihan waved his hand and said that there was no need to do that.
...
“I’ve already decided to head to the banquet in your name.”
Censor Zhang was shocked. “His Majesty wants to go personally? You mustn’t! Firstly, you have a noble status. Secondly, some of the invited officials recognize you!”
Gu Yihan crossed his arms and said in a very casual tone, “I’ve already planned on making them all not go on the day of the banquet.”
“This…”

The more Gu Yihan spoke, the more excited he became. His cold eyes flickered with killing intent.
“Not only do I want to go, but I also want to bring Nuo’er along.”
As he spoke, he gently touched Gu Nuo’er’s forehead with his palm and smiled like a loving father. “Although Nuo’er is only three years old, it’s time to understand the treacherousness of this imperial court.
“Most importantly, she should know how those in power can flip their hands and instantly take people’s lives. My Nuo’er has to learn to play with human lives.”
Censor Zhang looked at the little princess lying in the emperor’s arms.
She looked fair and tender, not crying or making a fuss at all. She just lay obediently in her father’s arms and ate the pastries.
Her chubby face was covered in pastry crumbs, but she didn’t seem to be affected by what Gu Yihan said.
Censor Zhang was quite frightened.
His Majesty’s method of teaching children…
Censor Zhang smiled and asked, “Your Majesty, are you trying to let the little princess learn how to manipulate people’s hearts?”
Gu Yihan wiped away the crumbs on Gu Nuo’er’s and said without looking up, “Yes. It’s the same thing.”
They are too different, Your Majesty!
Censor Zhang didn’t dare to have any objections. He cupped his hands and said, “This subject will go make arrangements as per Your Majesty’s orders right away.”
After Censor Zhang left, Gu Nuo’er asked in her childish voice, “Father, is this Merchant Ji very bad?”
Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows and didn’t comment.
“If this person were to spend money to buy an official position and take the place of those poor children who had worked hard to pass the examinations to get to the position…
“And if he’s also suspected of trafficking homeless girls, do you think this person is bad? Is the money he earns through conscience-stricken means?”
Gu Nuo’er clenched her small fists tightly. “Big baddie!”
When Gu Yihan saw how adorable his daughter was, he couldn’t help but pick her up. “Baby Nuo, remember this. If you encounter bad people in this world, you have to be ruthless to them.”
The child puffed up her cheeks and nodded her chubby head. “Yes! I’ll go with Father and take his money to buy candies for good people!”
“That’s more like it. Come, Baby Nuo, you haven’t mastered the words ‘Love Father the most’ just now. Write them a few more times for Father to see.”
