Chapter 54: Uncle Bai Yi Couldn’t Have Seen Through Anything, Right?
When she got into the carriage, she was already so cold that the tip of her nose had turned red.
Gu Nuo’er blew out some hot hair and rubbed her small hands.
The carriage should belong to one of the officials. At this moment, there was still a heater burning.
The interior of the car was simple and on the rosewood table with auspicious clouds carvings, there was a plate of pastries, a plate of melon seeds, and a pot of tea that had gotten a little cold.
Gu Nuo’er crawled to the corner of the carriage, shook the folded blanket, and wrapped it around her chubby little body.
Phew~ She felt so much warmer.
Looking at the tempting sweet pastries on the table, Gu Nuo’er licked her lips.
Well, her mother had said that she mustn’t eat other people’s food casually.
However, Baby Nuo was really hungry.
When that official uncle came, Baby Nuo would definitely apologize to him and compensate him with another plate of pastries.
With this thought in mind, Gu Nuo’er wriggled over while wrapped up in the blanket. She sat in front of the table and started to eat heartily.
General Bai Yi had come to the palace today to report something to the emperor.
However, the emperor seemed to be busy dealing with the matter relating to the a.s.sa.s.sin and did not have time to meet him.
Therefore, General Bai Yi could only return first. He planned to return to the residence first and come to the palace to give his report another day.
However, when he lifted the curtain, even someone like him who was experienced on the battlefields and was calm in all situations had no choice but to open his eyes wide!
In the carriage, Gu Nuo’er’s stomach was bulging from all the eating. She was lying flat in the carriage with an unfinished pastry in her small hand.
The table was already a mess.
The child seemed to be tired of eating and was resting.
Sensing that someone had pulled up the curtain, she quickly sat up.
She and General Bai Yi stared at each other for a long time.
Gu Nuo’er took the initiative and said softly, “Uncle Bai Yi! Why aren’t you getting on yet? Come quickly, come quickly, Baby Nuo wants to go out of the palace to look for… Elder Brother Siming to play!”
She must not be sent by Uncle Bai Yi!
Bai Yi frowned in confusion. “Princess, why are you going to my residence alone?”
Gu Nuo’er sat up straight and explained seriously, “That’s right. Because Elder Sister Wanyin and Elder Sister Wanxuan are very busy, Baby Nuo came out by myself!
“Uncle Bai Yi, Nuonuo is already three years old. Why do I need someone to accompany me when I go out? Hurry up and come up. We’ll go to your house to play!”
General Bai Yi was doubtful.
It wasn’t that the little princess wasn’t adorable, nor was it that her words sounded like they were made up.
But that…
Bai Yi looked at Gu Nuo’er. There were ink stains on the tip of her nose and the remnants of pastries on her pink cheeks.
He looked down and saw that her clothes were b.u.t.toned up wrongly. Even her two fair feet only had socks on one of them.
General Bai Yi was speechless.
No matter how one looked at it, this didn’t seem simple!
Gu Nuo’er’s eyes flickered when she saw that Bai Yi didn’t move.
The child panicked in her heart. This was bad~
Uncle Bai Yi couldn’t have seen through anything, right?
Then, Gu Nuo’er frowned and tears gradually welled up in her big watery eyes.
“Uncle Bai Yi.” The child let out two sobs. “Do you think that Baby Nuo is disturbing you by going to your house? Then Nuonuo won’t go. Boohoo.”
As she said this, she twisted her small b.u.t.t and planned to slip out of the carriage.
Bai Yi had watched Gu Nuo’er grow up. When he saw the little princess crying, he panicked.
“Princess, don’t cry. That’s not what I meant. Alright, alright, alright. We’ll set off now. It’s just that there’s nothing fun in my residence. I hope Princess doesn’t mind.”
As he spoke, Bai Yi lowered his head and entered the carriage, letting the coachman drive the carriage away from the palace.
Gu Nuo’er sat up straight and immediately stopped crying.
She fluttered her glistening eyes that had been washed by tears. “No mind no mind~”
The child waved her hand and wrapped herself back into the blanket.
Under General Bai Yi’s puzzled gaze, Gu Nuo’er hid under the small blanket and smiled, revealing her white teeth.
