Chapter 43: Father, Nuonuo Misses You
Gu Yihan’s black boot was just midway into the room when it backed out
He turned around and laughed. “Alright, alright, alright. Father won’t go in first. Nuo’er, put on your clothes properly before Father goes in!”
When Eunuch Chunshou saw this, he smiled to himself.
Among the six palaces, only the little princess would dare to directly turn the emperor away!
n.o.ble Consort Qiao smiled and helped Gu Nuo’er put on her clothes.
Only then did the child call out toward the door in a childish voice, “Father, come in! Nuonuo is done!”
When Gu Yihan entered, he saw that his precious daughter’s cheeks were red and her eyes were bright and round. She looked like a little white bun that had just come out of the pot.
He walked over and picked Gu Nuo’er up. Smelling the milk fragrance on her body, Gu Yihan chuckled. “Nuo’er, it’s going to be the new year soon.
“This year, do you want the North Zhou’s peac.o.c.k feathers or the South Yue’s ivory jade? Tell Father in advance so that Father can get them to bring more over when they come to pay tribute.”
Gu Nuo’er’s eyelashes fluttered like two small fans. She asked curiously, “Father, Baby Nuo doesn’t want any of these. Can Baby Nuo ask for other things?”
Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows. “Let’s hear it.”
He wanted to know what his three-year-old daughter would ask for.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nuo’er said seriously in his arms, “Baby Nuo wants Father to spend more time with me. Father is always very busy!”
After saying that, the child snuggled her soft head in Gu Yihan’s arms.
She even whined in her childish voice, “Father, Nuonuo misses you. Mother misses you too~”
Gu Yihan was stunned and looked up at n.o.ble Consort Qiao.
n.o.ble Consort Qiao’s beautiful expression also seemed stunned. She didn’t expect Gu Nuo’er to say this.
Then, she blushed and turned to look to the side.
“Your Majesty, don’t listen to Nuo’er’s nonsense. Your consort… only misses you a little.”
Gu Yihan has indeed been very busy recently. Other than handling government affairs, he often went to the Music Bureau to listen to music.
This was originally a way for him to relieve the pressure.
However, a new batch of performers had come to the Music Bureau recently. One of them was beautiful, had a great figure, and could play a pleasant tune.
Therefore, Gu Yihan went a few more times.
However, he didn’t neglect accompanying his daughter. However, he didn’t expect the child to notice it.
Gu Yihan looked at his precious daughter’s clear and tender eyes and his heart immediately softened.
He grabbed the child’s soft and chubby hand. “Baby Nuo, it’s Father’s fault for ignoring your and your mother’s feelings.
“Father will go and settle the memorials tonight. I’ll accompany you to admire the plum blossoms tomorrow, alright?”
Gu Nuo’er nodded repeatedly, her fair face filled with joy. “Father, pinky swear. If you don’t keep your word, you’ll become a woof woof!”
n.o.ble Consort Qiao felt bad and quickly said, “Nuo’er, how can you call your father a dog?”
Gu Yihan didn’t mind at all. He waved his hand and laughed, saying, “This is a promise I’ve made with Baby Nuo.
“Nuo’er, if Father can’t do it, Father will be small woof woof. You can rest a.s.sured now.”
Gu Nuo’er obediently gave her a sweet smile.
In the end, the child slowly fell asleep in the company of n.o.ble Consort Qiao and Gu Yihan.
The child on the bed had a round face and cute pink cheeks. Her long eyelashes gathered together like a pair of b.u.t.terfly wings.
Her small hand was on top of the brocade blanket. n.o.ble Consort Qiao gently held it and placed it back under the blanket.
“Yayu,” Gu Yihan called out in a soft voice. He held n.o.ble Consort Qiao’s hand and said, “I’ve been neglecting you recently. After I’m done with the government affairs, I’ll come and accompany you guys.”
