Consort Yi’s almond-shaped eyes lit up and she looked at Gu Zitang. “What is it?”
Gu Zitang was also puzzled.
When did he bring something back for his mother?
Gu Nuo’er winked at him and said softly, “Second Brother, are you feeling embarrassed? Then Nuo’er will speak up for you!
“Mother Yi, Second Brother brought Nuo’er out and we met two uncles who were selling coltsfoot flowers. Coltsfoot flowers can quench one’s thirst. Also, when used to make pastries…
“It’s good for calming the heat and improving one’s complexion. When Second Brother saw this, he bought two big bags of them! He said that he wanted to bring them back for Mother Yi!”
Gu Zitang was secretly shocked!
Did he say such things?
However, he saw the child’s watery eyes kept flickering, trying to give him a hint.
He immediately understood.
He coughed lightly and nodded. “Yes, Mother, but those things aren’t very valuable. I only bought it casually after seeing them…”
Who would have thought of this? The second prince had planned to find a place to throw away the two bags of coltsfoot flowers he brought back.
Unexpectedly, after Consort Yi heard these words, her eyes were already brimming with tears.
She wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief. “You’re really…, You’re spending money recklessly on your mother.”
Consort Yi couldn’t sit still anymore and pulled the second prince to leave. She said that she wanted to go back and have a taste of pastries made from coltsfoot flowers.
They left in a hurry. Gu Nuo’er looked at Consort Yi’s back view and spread out her small hands…
“Phew~ Second Brother is so stupid. He doesn’t even know how to please his mother and still needs Nuonuo to teach him!”
Noble Consort Qiao laughed when she heard this. “Your second brother has always been a quiet person. It’s already good enough that he doesn’t make Consort Yi lose her temper and throw things.
“I was wondering why he suddenly changed his personality and bought something back as a gift. It turns out that it was because of you, you mischievous girl.”
Gu Nuo’er giggled and revealed her white teeth, pouncing into her mother’s arms.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes looked bright and cute.
“Mother, Mother Yi is so happy because she likes Second Brother too much. That’s why she was deceived by Nuo’er’s little tricks.”
Noble Consort Qiao stroked her daughter’s soft hair. “That’s right. Which mother wouldn’t like their child?
The coltsfoot flower was the most inconspicuous item in the palace. Who would use it to make pastries? However, if your second brother bought it, it’s a representation of his sincerity.
“What your Mother Yi values is her son’s sincerity.”
Gu Nuo’er nodded, not fully understanding. She recalled her doubts on the way and asked, “Mother, what do you like?”
Noble Consort Qiao chuckled. Her red lips were beautiful and she was really charming.
“I like for my Nuo’er to grow up safe and sound.”
Gu Nuo’er nodded very seriously, not feeling that Noble Consort Qiao had said it casually.
“Nuonuo will definitely grow up obediently and stay by Mother’s side. I won’t anger Mother!”
The child snuggled her head into her mother’s arms, acting very spoiled.
She looked up again and asked in an extremely adorable manner, “Mother, Nuo’er wants to take a shower. Nuo’er wants you to help me wash up!”
Noble Consort Qiao’s phoenix eyes were filled with love. She carried Gu Nuo’er and grabbed her chubby little hand. “Wanyin, Wanxuan, go and fill a bucket of hot water. I’ll help Nuo’er bathe.”
Not long later, the inner room was filled with steam.
Gu Nuo’er had liked water since she was young and was close to water.
At this moment, she was splashing around in the bathtub. She also knew how to hold her breath.
The child blew bubbles under the water. If the bathtub was a little bigger, she would probably want to swim back and forth.
Noble Consort Qiao washed Gu Nuo’er up. Her skin was fair and tender.
Her round face was steamed up by the heat, flushing her cheeks and making her look playful and cute.
Wanyin wrapped the little princess in the blanket, and the child’s watery eyes darted around.
At this moment, a report was sent from outside. “His Majesty has arrived!”
Gu Nuo’er, who was in the blanket, became anxious and kicked her legs. “Father, you’re not allowed to look. Nuonuo just came out from the bath!”
