Everyone waited patiently for a while.
As expected, Gu Yihan arrived late with Gu Nuo’er.
The child was wearing a pink dress today.
Her soft black hair was tied into two braids and hung by her ears.
A little hair was left on her forehead, making her eyes look even more watery.
Her skin was soft and her pink lips were tender.
Gu Yihan held his daughter’s hand and walked slowly.
Everyone quickly bowed and greeted, “Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness.”
Gu Yihan was already used to such a scene, so he gave an indifferent reply.
However, Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand.
She said in a soft voice, “I’m sorry, official uncles. Father and I came late!
“My mother scalded her hand at breakfast this morning. My father helped to blow on her hand before we came! Don’t be angry!”
Everyone was stunned.
n.o.ble Consort Qiao and His Majesty really shared a close relationship. The officials quickly called out, “We wouldn’t dare.”
On the other hand, n.o.ble Consort Qiao’s older brother, Qiao Zijin, who was standing in the line of officials, lowered his head in embarra.s.sment.
An official who had a good relationship with him immediately whispered, “Lord Qiao, the n.o.ble consort has a good relationship with the emperor. It’s really enviable.”
Qiao Zijin cupped his hands and said humbly, “You’re too kind.”
When Gu Nuo’er pa.s.sed by Ye Siming…
She didn’t forget to turn her head and wink at him.
Her big eyes flickered.
When Ye Siming saw this, he pursed his thin lips and a smile appeared in his cold and narrow eyes.
Gu Yihan carried his daughter onto the throne.
He waved his hand, indicating that the officials could start reporting government affairs.
Gu Nuo’er sat obediently and listened attentively.
Firstly, the minister from the Ministry of Revenue stood up.
He reported, “Your Majesty, the great waterway that runs through our empire has been completely completed. This subject has already led my men to check the accounts. The expenditure memorial has been submitted to the imperial court. Your Majesty, please approve the memorial when you are free.”
When the minister from the Ministry of Revenue said this, Chunshou had already delivered two plates of pastries according to orders.
Gu Yihan pushed the snacks in front of his daughter.
However, his voice was very serious. “Alright, let the Ministry of Works verify it.”
“Yes.”
Right on the heels of that was the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
He went forward and reported, “Your Majesty, two days ago, this subject received a letter from Academician Lu. He has already arrived at Caixia Town and will arrive in State Ke with another half a month of traveling.”
Gu Nuo’er immediately looked up with watery eyes.
Uncle Lu was really fast.
Ever since Gu Nuo’er arranged for Academician Lu to go to State Ke to deal with corrupt officials and supervise the officials’ culture…
Academician Lu quickly went to make preparations and set off the next afternoon.
He was dedicated to the people and was a good official.
Gu Yihan nodded. “Maintain correspondence with him. If he encounters any difficulties, cooperate with him to resolve them in time.”
“Yes.”
The officials finished reporting the matters one after another.
Gu Yihan blinked and suddenly saw Prince Guang’s tanned face.
He frowned and asked coldly, “Prince Guang, who allowed you to come to court?”
Prince Guang exclaimed in his heart.
Gu Yihan had finally seen him.
Otherwise, he didn’t know how he could perform in front of everyone today!
He had to hand over the key to the private treasury in front of all the officials!
Not only would he let everyone know that His Majesty’s doting on the little princess had almost caused him to lose such an important item!
It also made them and Gu Yihan understand that Prince Guang was loyal and reliable and had made great contributions!
Thinking of this, Prince Guang appeared a lot more arrogant as he stepped forward.
He raised his dark and chubby face, and there was unconcealable smugness in his small eyes.
Gu Nuo’er blinked her dark eyes when she saw him like this.
She shook her head silently.
He sighed in his heart.
Why was neither the n*ked prince nor Grand Consort Yu smart?!
