Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day, a heavy rain suddenly came.
Gu Yihan was afraid that there would be too much water on the road and it wouldn’t be safe for Gu Nuo’er to go to school.
Therefore, he carried the child, who was still half-asleep, to the morning court session.
Gu Nuo’er stayed up late last night to secretly peep at her father and mother admiring the moon.
Unexpectedly, she was so sleepy and groggy in the morning.
Wanyin was in charge of putting on the clothes for her, and Wanxuan tied her hair into a cute bun.
There were two pink hibiscus flowers on her soft black hair.
They made the child’s already fair face look even more delicate.
Gu Nuo’er subconsciously grabbed onto her father’s dragon robe. She leaned into Gu Yihan’s arms and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Gu Yihan carried his daughter and sat on the throne before waving his hand to dismiss the officials.
Ye Siming was wearing vermilion court clothes today. The youth stood at the front of the military officials with a straight posture.
His thin eyes turned and he looked at Gu Nuo’er, who was yawning sleepily.
He couldn’t help but smile.
Gu Yihan looked at the civil and military officials and saw that Censor Zhang had come to court.
He was a little surprised.
“Censor Zhang, didn’t I let you take a break for half a month? Why are you here for court today?”
A few days ago, Censor Zhang seemed to have been possessed by some fiend or demon and was in a daze.
There were dark circles under his eyes and it made him appear even colder.
In fact, when he was in court, he fell headfirst. If not for Marquis Yongye’s fast reaction and grabbing him, he would have lost his front teeth from the fall!
At that time, Ye Siming had lifted Censor Zhang up like an eagle catching a chick.
Only then did Censor Zhang wake up from his dream.
Gu Yihan felt that he wasn’t in good health, so he let him take a break to rest.
However, today, Censor Zhang was beaming with joy and was full of energy. His previous dejected and tired appearance was swept away.
When Censor Zhang heard Gu Yihan take the initiative to ask him, he was very touched!
He cupped his hands and stepped out of the line, bowing deeply to Gu Yihan. “This subject is such an insignificant person, but Your Majesty actually values and cares so much for this subject. How is this subject deserving of this?!
“Previously, my daughter suddenly contracted a strange illness. This subject couldn’t find any good medicine everywhere, so this subject was extremely troubled. However, with Your Majesty’s blessing, my daughter has recovered!”
A faint impatience appeared on Gu Yihan’s forehead.
It started again. Every time he said a word of concern, Censor Zhang would continue on the topic for a very long time.
The officials seemed to be used to it.
When Censor Zhang thanked the emperor more than ten times…
The child in Gu Yihan’s arms stretched lazily.
She arched her small body and turned over to continue sleeping.
“Shut up. If there’s nothing important, go back to the government office. I’m just asking casually!” Gu Yihan gritted his teeth and glared angrily, interrupting Censor Zhang.
Censor Zhang hurriedly bowed and stood back happily.
After all, in the imperial court, would His Majesty still care about others casually?
No!
The more Censor Zhang thought about it, the more tears welled up in his eyes.
He could only go through fire and water for His Majesty and die before he could repay such a great favor!
The officials began to report on government affairs in an orderly manner.
The minister of the Ministry of Revenue came out and said that various parts of the six ministries needed to invest in renovating the government office. He came to ask His Majesty for his approval.
Gu Yihan lowered his eyes and saw Gu Nuo’er sleeping soundly in his arms, but he subconsciously frowned.
He looked up and said in a cold tone, “I remember that last year, the Ministry of Revenue used the same reason to draw a lot of money.”
“Why? Could it be that the government office of the six ministries is even more luxurious than my Jinluan Hall and needs to be repaired every year?”
The minister from the Ministry of Revenue lowered his head in embarra.s.sment. “This subject wouldn’t dare.”
He returned to stand in line and didn’t dare to speak again.
