Consort Lu raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Why do you say that?”
Gu Nuo’er immediately sat up straight, her pink face revealing how sensible and obedient she was.
“It’s because they all know that I’m Great Qi’s princess, an enemy that can be shown openly.
“Even if they don’t make a move against me, the emperor probably won’t let me have an easy time either.
“Therefore, they can’t wait for me to be safe and sound now. They’re waiting to see how your country’s emperor will deal with me.”
Surprise flashed across Consort Lu’s black eyes.
Gradually, her expression turned to admiration.
Princess Yaoguang was only six or seven years old.
However, she actually saw the world so clearly.
Consort Lu saw that after Gu Nuo’er had finished speaking, she picked up a pastry and ate it for a while.
The child looked very carefree.
It was as if she wasn’t worried about what would happen to her at all.
Consort Lu couldn’t help but ask, “Are you afraid?”
In an unfamiliar country, her identity as a princess would only put her in danger.
However, the child shook her head honestly.
“What’s there to be afraid of? My mother said that when a person has status and ability, what others send first isn’t applause, but looks of envy.
“Didn’t the emperor here capture me because he wanted to play dirty? He can’t deal with my father in the open, so he can only use this move.”
After Gu Nuo’er finished eating the pastry, she snorted in front of Consort Lu.
She commented in a soft voice, “You’re so beautiful and gentle. It’s really hard on you to marry this despicable big fellow!”
Gu Nuo’er’s words were very disrespectful to Ling Tianyin.
However, Consort Lu didn’t look like she was blaming her at all.
She could actually understand Gu Nuo’er’s current state of mind.
Consort Lu also had a three-year-old son.
If he was also captured by the enemy country…
She would probably break down.
Consort Lu smiled bitterly.
“If you encounter any difficulties in the palace, you can come and look for me. At the very least, I can ensure your safety.
“I’m very happy to be able to make a young friend like you.
“My surname is Lu, and my name is Xiangfu. What about you, young friend? What’s your name?”
Consort Lu’s eyes were clear and suffused with a faint gentle light.
For some reason.
From the first time Gu Nuo’er saw her…
She felt that the aura she emitted was different from others.
However, the child couldn’t tell what was going on.
However, she didn’t dislike Consort Lu.
Therefore, she told her openly.
“My name is Gu Nuo’er.”
Gu Nuo’er saw Consort Lu tremble when she said her name.
“Gu… Gu Nuo’er?”
The child tilted her head, her big eyes sparkling. “Yes, why?”
Why did the pretty consort have such an expression?
Could it be that everyone knew how adorable she was?
An experience from three years ago suddenly appeared in Consort Lu’s mind.
A cold voice kept echoing in her ears—
“Remember, the person who saved you is called Gu Nuo’er. If there’s a chance, come back and repay the favor.”
Gu Nuo’er…
Her benefactor had finally been found.
Gu Nuo’er saw Consort Lu’s expression change many times, and even her eyes were filled with glistening tears.
The child didn’t understand.
“Pretty consort, why are you crying?”
Consort Lu hurriedly wiped her tears.
She composed herself and smiled gently, looking even more moving than before.
“It’s fine. I just thought that it must be very lonely for a child like you to be brought to an unfamiliar place.
“No matter what His Majesty says, I’ll bring you back to my palace first. Have a good rest, alright?”
Consort Lu actually stopped calling herself ‘I’.
