Chapter 70: Elder Brother Siming Likes Them, I Want to Save Them for Him
The next day, when the sun was still rising, Gu Nuo’er was carried up by Noble Consort Qiao the moment she woke up.
The child was sleepy and let out a long yawn.
Even when she was drinking milk, she was laying in Noble Consort Qiao’s arms with her eyes closed.
Wanyin and Wanxuan helped the little princess put on a light yellow dress and braided two buns on her head.
Two small red bells were tied to them.
Gu Nuo’er looked small and exquisite. With a red cloak on her, she looked like a beautiful small flower blooming in winter.
Noble Consort Qiao carried Gu Nuo’er out. There was already a small sedan waiting at the palace’s entrance.
“Mother, it’s so cold!” Gu Nuo’er was curled up in Noble Consort Qiao’s arms. They had just stepped out when she was hit by the cold winter wind.
In an instant, the crisp sound of silver bells rang.
Noble Consort Qiao protected Gu Nuo’er’s head with her hand until they got into the sedan chair.
Only then did she smile and said, “Baby Nuo, how about Mother bring you to visit the empress today?”
Gu Nuo’er quickly nodded.
She had long wanted to sneak there, but she was worried that her empress mother’s body hadn’t fully recovered and that she would only cause trouble if she were to go.
......
Gu Nuo’er asked softly, “Has Empress Mother recovered?”
Noble Consort Qiao pinched the child’s pink nose. “Fortunately, Baby Nuo discovered that someone had poisoned her last time. After receiving treatment, Her Majesty’s illness has mostly recovered.
“Today, Mother is bringing you there to choose palace maids for your Empress Mother!”
Cailuan and Qinghe had already been executed, and the few second-grade palace maids serving the empress were clumsy.
Therefore, Noble Consort Qiao’s first task was to choose two more capable palace maids for the empress.
As the child seemed to always bring good fortune, Noble Consort Qiao trusted Gu Nuo’er very much.
Anyone that Gu Nuo’er was close to or liked could stay behind today.
Anyone that Gu Nuo’er was close to or liked could stay behind today.
Gu Nuo’er nodded in confusion and gave it some thought. “Mother… Then, will Baby Nuo be considered to be helping?”
Noble Consort Qiao smiled and said, “That’s right. Why?”
The child pinched her little fingers. “Since I’m helping, how can Mother not give Baby Nuo money for my hard work?”
Second Brother taught her that if she agreed to help, she had to remember to get benefits for herself!
Noble Consort Qiao was a little surprised. She didn’t expect a three-year-old child to say such things.
She was amused and asked, “What reward does Baby Nuo want?”
Gu Nuo’er smiled, showing her cute white teeth and her eyes curled up into crescent moons.
“Mother, give Nuonuo two more candies today. Elder Brother Siming likes them and I want to save them for him.”
Noble Consort Qiao smiled. “Are you sure it’s not because you want to eat them?”
Gu Nuo’er shook her small head like a rattle-drum. “It’s really for Elder Brother Siming. It’s because the last time I went to Uncle Bai’s house, Elder Brother Siming made a roast bird for me to eat!”
Roast bird?
.
Noble Consort Qiao was a little stunned.
Then, she smiled. It was just a matter of two candies, so she immediately agreed.
When they arrived outside the empress’s palace, the eunuch in charge of the Palace Affairs Bureau was already waiting at the bottom of the stairs with four palace maids.
At this moment, there was a cold wind blowing. The eunuch had both ends of his sleeves put together, his legs trembling from the cold.
The other four palace maids weren’t in any better shape.
However, when Gu Nuo’er alighted from the small sedan, she realized that there was another person standing behind the four palace maids.
She lowered her eyes and looked around from time to time.
As she met Gu Nuo’er’s gaze, she seemed to be shocked and quickly retracted her gaze.
The child tilted her head and looked at this inconspicuous and timid palace maid.
Why was there a faint green glow on her body?
