543 When Can I Touch Elder Brother Siming Again?
In order to fight for the emperor’s favor, Consort Rou was discovered by the emperor for having faked her pregnancy. This, together with how the entire Cui Family was implicated quickly spread throughout the court.
It turned out that Consort Rou had been in the palace without children for many years because her health was poor and she was infertile, to begin with. So how could she be pregnant?
If she had the time to fake her pregnancy, she could ask the doctor to treat her body more often. She might get pregnant one day!
However, the consorts and concubines in the harem also received a hint from this matter.
That was, His Majesty didn’t intend to continue wanting imperial heirs!
Thinking about it, it made sense. His Majesty already had more than 20 princes. Why would he be afraid that he wouldn’t be able to choose someone to inherit the throne?
Moreover, Gu Yihan’s heart was focused on his beloved daughter, Gu Nuo’er.
It would be ordinary to give birth to another prince.
However, His Majesty wouldn’t be willing to give birth to a princess either. He didn’t want to share his love with a second daughter at all.
This way, the consorts who were thinking that they would be able to soar in status even if they were pregnant with their daughters would completely give up and stop having extravagant hopes.
They were afraid that they would end up like Consort Rou.
Everyone became even more envious of Noble Consort Qiao.
They didn’t understand why the talented and smart Gu Nuo’er, who was blessed by the heavens, would be born from Noble Consort Qiao’s stomach.
She was really lucky!
Everyone sighed. It was fate!
…
The autumn wind was cold early in the morning, especially in the mountains.
Gu Nuo’er was wearing a light blue autumn dress and had two small buns on her head, making her look petite and cute.
She walked in the silent wilderness with Ye Siming.
Ye Siming walked quietly beside the child with a lazy expression.
A moment later, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you very familiar with that bald donkey?”
“Elder Brother Siming, I’ve already said that he’s not called a bald donkey. He’s called monk older brother.”
Ye Siming sneered. “It’s the same thing. If you don’t know him and don’t even know where the temple he’s in is, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort to circle around the mountains?”
This was because Gu Nuo’er had seen that Kongjue hadn’t come to ask for alms for a long time.
She was worried that he would starve to death since he was so poor!
Therefore, the child wrapped two big bags of snacks and went up the mountain with Ye Siming to look for Kongjue.
However, Gu Nuo’er had forgotten to ask Kongjue which temple he was from when they met previously.
She only vaguely remembered that the last time Kongjue and her transcended souls at the mass grave, he had gone up the mountain from this path.
Gu Nuo’er stopped and looked up with a smile. “I have Elder Brother Siming. I’m not afraid!”
Ye Siming raised his eyebrows. “You want me to look for it?”
Gu Nuo’er hugged his arm and said softly, “I believe that Elder Brother Siming will definitely have a way to find it!”
She didn’t dare to say that he could smell it, lest Elder Brother Siming thought that she was treating him like a doggy again and would then ask to eat her small hand one more time!
As long as Gu Nuo’er acted spoiled, it would work with Ye Siming.
He liked the feeling of being completely dependent on by the child.
Ye Siming carried the two large bags of pastries in his right hand and scooped up Gu Nuo’er with his left, carrying her in his arms.
His thin lips curled up and he smiled casually. “Since you’re sincerely pleading with me, I’ll give it a try.”
Gu Nuo’er blinked her big eyes and looked at Ye Siming seriously.
She kept feeling that at this quiet moment, Elder Brother Siming should have two ears on his head!
Just like the last time she saw them. They were soft… fluffy…
When would she be able to touch them again?
The child was in a daze when Ye Siming said coldly, “I found it.”
“Wow! Elder Brother Siming is so amazing. You found it so quickly?”
“Because there’s an aura that I hate very much where the smelly monk is.” Ye Siming carried Gu Nuo’er and walked in the direction he had sensed.
