Noble Consort Qiao went forward and said, “Baby Nuo, come to Mother’s arms and I’ll get you some sweet pastries to eat, alright?”
They were in the middle of nowhere now and could only eat something simple to fill their stomachs.
However, Gu Yihan didn’t agree. He hugged Gu Nuo’er tightly in his arms and stared at Noble Consort Qiao. “You can’t fill your stomach by eating that. I brought bird’s nest soup this morning.
“I had also gotten the imperial guards to pick up firewood. We’ll start a fire on the spot later and give Baby Nuo hot soup to drink.”
However, the child pouted.
Her small face was fair and tender, like an egg with its shell removed, and her big eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
She looked around aggrievedly, looking for Ye Siming.
Suddenly, Gu Nuo’er saw Ye Siming standing beside Bai Yi and looking at her with raised eyebrows.
When he received Gu Nuo’er’s gaze, the youth understood and smiled calmly.
The child called out in her childish voice, “Elder Brother Siming, I’m hungry!”
Ye Siming walked over.
Gu Nuo’er immediately twisted her small body, wanting him to carry her.
Gu Yihan frowned. “Ye Siming, why did the princess think of you? Could it be that you brought milk out?”
Gu Nuo’er twisted her small body and corrected him fiercely, “Father! Baby Nuo is already three years old! I can grow up even without drinking milk. But in the past, Grandpa said that if I don’t eat meat, I won’t grow tall!”
Ye Siming took out a paper package. There were beef pastries made by Madam Bai inside.
He handed it to Gu Yihan. “It’s a little cold. Your Majesty can heat it up for the princess to eat.”
Bai Yi and his wife stood not far away nervously and looked in the emperor’s direction.
“The princess couldn’t possibly have called Siming to go over to have him go hunting in the mountains and then roast a bird to eat in front of the emperor, right…”
However, Madam Bai’s thoughts were different from her husband.
