Gu Ziliang lowered his head, feeling a little embarra.s.sed.
“Because… Master Tao said that my handwriting is ugly and asked me to practice more.”
Gu Nuo’er was very unconvinced. “Hmph! That’s because he doesn’t know how to teach! Brother, don’t learn from him, I’ll teach you in the future!”
Gu Ziliang looked at the child’s smug expression. “Sister is going to teach me?”
“That’s right! Don’t underestimate me. My handwriting was taught by Uncle Grand Chancellor. I even know how to copy Father’s handwriting!”
She touched her nose proudly.
Gu Ziliang quickly raised his hand to stop her. “Hey! Don’t touch your face!
There’s ink on your hands!”
However, the child had already gotten ink on her nose.
Gu Nuo’er only remembered now.
At this moment, there was a little black spot on her fair nose.
Coupled with her curved eyebrows and big grape-like eyes, she looked even cuter and smarter.
Gu Nuo’er pouted in distress. “Aiya, I still got ink on my face. Forget it, I’ll wash it off together later.”
“Brother, come with me. Let’s not write anymore. I’ll bring you to play! If you continue to study, you’ll become stupid!”
“But…” Gu Ziliang was a little hesitant.
However, the child made the decision. “But what?! Master Tao just said that he wanted to hit my hand. Hmph, let’s ignore him!”
Gu Ziliang smiled helplessly and was pulled away by his sister.
The siblings were both stained with ink.
Gu Nuo’er brought him to the Clear Lake. She first washed the ink off her small hands and then wiped her nose.
Her small face got wet in the end.
Gu Ziliang had already washed his hands clean. When he saw that his sister’s face was wet, he couldn’t help but take out a handkerchief and wipe Gu Nuo’er’s face clean.
The child looked up and saw that her tenth brother’s movements were gentle.
His ice-blue eyes were extremely beautiful under the sunlight.
His brown hair, which was different from theirs, also emitted a glow.
“Tenth Brother, you’re really beautiful!” Gu Nuo’er praised from the bottom of her heart.
Gu Ziliang’s face turned red.
“Nuo’er, Brother is a guy. How can you say that I’m beautiful?”
The child tilted her head. “Then what should I say?”
Gu Ziliang opened his mouth. He wanted to say a few words, but he felt it’d be like he was praising himself.
Therefore, he didn’t continue.
Gu Nuo’er brought Gu Ziliang to a pavilion by the lake.
She waved her small hands and called for a pa.s.sing palace maid to bring over pastries and tea.
The water was sparkling and the refraction of the light made the child look even fairer and cute.
A strand of wet hair was still stuck to her forehead, making her look exceptionally obedient.
“Tenth Brother, actually, I have something to ask you.”
She reached out her small hand, revealing the pink tourmaline ring she was wearing.
This was a mechanism that the eighth prince had specially built for her.
The child showed Gu Ziliang where the silver needles were hidden.
“Eighth Brother said that this silver needle is smeared with the knockout drug you gave him. Uh, I want to ask Tenth Brother why this knockout drug smells so good!”
As the child spoke, she even took a deep breath beside the ring.
“It smells so good. It smells like flowers.”
Gu Ziliang smiled and said, “Because it’s essentially a kind of bewitching drug.”
It was true that he was the one who gave the eighth prince the knockout powder.
They produced such things in the outer region.
Outlanders were good at grinding different flowers into powder. When different pollen was combined, they had different effects.
Gu Nuo’er was very curious. “Bewitching drug?”
“That’s right. The one in your ring can make people faint instantly.”
“There are also some bewitching drugs that are put in food. These drugs are colorless and tasteless. They can make one’s limbs weak but their mind clear.”
At this point, he suddenly realized something and stopped.
He shouldn’t say too much. After all, this wasn’t a good thing..
