Chunshou shook his head. “This servant heard from the palace servants in the lion and tiger garden that the princess subdued the white tiger that was preparing to hurt someone with a smile. The tigress obediently lay down and let His Highness pet her. The little white tiger is already familiar with the princess, so it naturally didn’t hurt the princess.”
When Gu Yihan heard this, his expression changed from panic to peace.
He said, feeling consoled, “If not for Nuo’er, the palace servants in the lion and tiger garden would have suffered. My daughter is really a lucky star.”
Chunshou quickly echoed, “This servant agrees too.”
From the corner of his eye, Gu Yihan saw the hidden guard standing at the side and raised his eyebrows. “You just said that Minister Xie from the Court of Judicial Review has a daughter. She was the one who suggested that Baby Nuo bring everyone into the palace to see the white tigers, right?”
The hidden guard lowered his head. “Yes.”
Gu Yihan waved his hand. “Tomorrow morning, arrange for the imperial guards to bring the white tiger out of the palace and send it to the state school for them to watch.”
Chunshou was shocked and hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, white tigers are rare and fierce by nature. Will it cause the commoners to panic?”
Gu Yihan didn’t think much of it. “When you go, cover them up or think of other ways. I’ll leave this matter to you guys.
“In short, I only have one request, and that is to back the princess up.
“It also let them see that even though the white tiger was so fierce, she is as obedient as a kitten under Baby Nuo.
“Even beasts are like this, let alone these disobedient people?”
After saying that, the emperor clapped his hands and smiled.
The hidden guard asked, “Your Majesty, are we only sending the little white tiger?”
“Since we’re trying to show off, we should naturally send both the big and the small one.” After Gu Yihan gave the order, this matter was settled.
The next day, Gu Nuo’er was in school, imitating the teacher and reading while swaying her head.
Ye Siming, who was behind her, watched for a long time, his thin lips suppressing the smile that was about to come up.
Why was this little bun-like person so good at entertaining herself?
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the window.
Gu Nuo’er was not seated by the window facing the courtyard, but her cla.s.smate sitting there looked out and immediately exclaimed, “There’s a tiger! It’s a white one!”
Everyone immediately threw down the textbooks in their hands and quickly squeezed over to the window to take a look.
In the courtyard, the imperial guards were standing neatly in two rows. They held Golden Crow Sabers and observed strict discipline.
There was an iron cage with them. The black cloth was lifted to reveal the two white tigers inside, one big and one small.
The students exclaimed—
“Princess Yaoguang must have brought them here. I thought that the white tigers couldn’t be brought out of the palace easily. I didn’t expect her to really bring it here to show everyone!”
“She’s a princess. As long as she wants to, His Majesty will definitely try his best to satisfy her.”
“The white tiger’s fur is really beautiful. It’s glossy and its eyes are so blue and clear!”
The teacher quickly tried to calm everyone down. “Don’t go out first. It’s dangerous. Sit here. I’ll ask what’s going on.”
After saying that, the teacher hurried out.
When Ye Siming saw this, he turned his head slightly and looked at Gu Nuo’er, whose face was filled with confusion.
He frowned. “You don’t know about this?”
Gu Nuo’er shook her head. “I didn’t bring the little white tiger here.”
Could it be that this was her father’s idea?
The teacher walked to the imperial guards who had a strict aura and bowed to ask, “Sir, this… what is with these white tigers?”
He was not tall. The imperial guard lowered his head and said in a cold tone, “His Majesty heard that the princess has recently learned a poem about tigers. He specially ordered us to bring the white tigers here to show the princess and her cla.s.smates.”
The teacher was shocked.
Many people never had the chance to see a tiger in their lives and could only see its might from the paintings.
However, for the sake of the little princess’s studies, the emperor had actually sent two expensive white tigers out of the palace?!
He really pampered her a lot.
