At night, Gu Nuo’er returned to the palace.
Gu Yihan had already learned in the morning court that the epidemic had spread out.
Moreover, it had already made the people feel uneasy.
The child waited in the Qiushui Palace until she was about to sleep, but Gu Yihan didn’t come to their palace.
Noble Consort Qiao combed her thin and soft black hair. “Nuo’er, go to sleep first.
Gu Nuo’er shook her head. She hugged the long pillow and sat obediently on the chair.
“I want to wait for Father to come back.”
Noble Consort Qiao pursed her lips into a comforting and gentle smile.
She touched the child’s hand. “Good child, go to sleep first. Your father must still be busy.”
Unexpectedly, Gu Nuo’er was very insistent. “Then I’ll go look for Father.
Mother, you can sleep. Baby Nuo isn’t sleepy at all.”
After saying that, she jumped off the chair.
She waved her small hand and asked Wanyin to help her put on her clothes.
Noble Consort Qiao felt extremely helpless. “What urgent matter is it? You tell your father tomorrow, alright?”
Gu Nuo’er’s fair face looked serious.
“Mother, this concerns the lives of the entire capital. Baby Nuo can’t not be anxious.”
She had a good idea to tell her father!
Noble Consort Qiao knew that although her daughter was young, she had many smart ideas.
Therefore, she didn’t object anymore.
She only asked Wanyin to dress Gu Nuo’er a little thicker.
The child brought a group of palace servants and walked toward Gu Yihan’s imperial study in the cold wind.
The wind was strong at night, causing the fox fur collar hair on her neck to flutter slightly.
Her small face made her facial features look even more exquisite and lively.
It was already so late, but the imperial study was still brightly lit.
From time to time, sounds of conversation could be heard from inside.
Eunuch Chunshou was guarding the door. When he saw that the princess had arrived, he quickly went forward to pay his respects.
“Your Highness, His Majesty is busy. Do you want to go in?” If anyone else came, Eunuch Chunshou would definitely stop them.
However, it was Gu Nuo’er.
It was fine even if she wanted to sit on His Majesty’s throne, let alone when they were discussing political matters. His Majesty would definitely let the little princess in.
Moreover, the weather was so cold.
If the little princess were to freeze, His Majesty would blame him.
Gu Nuo’er nodded. “Eunuch, who’s inside?”
“Grand Chancellor Ye, Censor Zhang, General Bai Yi, and Cabinet Elders.”
Uncle Bai was also here?
The child had some understanding of the situation now.
Chunshou pushed open the door and said politely, “Princess Yaoguang has arrived. ”
In the hall, the ground heating system was burning strongly, blocking the cold that came from outside.
Gu Yihan sat behind the imperial table, surrounded by the officials.
There was a map spread out on the table. They seemed to be studying something.
When he heard that his daughter had come, Gu Yihan quickly walked away from the table and carried the child into his arms.
“Baby Nuo, why are you here? Why aren’t you sleeping obediently with your mother at this hour?”
After saying that, Gu Yihan saw that his precious daughter’s fair face was slightly red from the cold.
His heart ached as he stroked and warmed Gu Nuo’er’s small face with his broad palm.
Gu Nuo’er’s soft face was squashed a little.
Her voice was soft. “It’s already so late and Father isn’t back yet. Baby Nuo is worried! Father, continue with your work. Baby Nuo will go and sit at the side.
Father can carry me back later!”
After saying that, she took the initiative to get off Gu Yihan’s arms.
She walked to the soft couch to rest and sat down.
She looked like an obedient child.
In the past, Gu Nuo’er liked to do this. When her father was busy, she would sit at the side and play by herself.
Therefore, Gu Yihan didn’t object this time.
He got Chunshou to bring over some snacks and fruit tea before continuing to discuss political matters with his subjects..
