Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

At night, Gu Yihan accompanied Noble Consort Qiao and Gu Nuo’er to have dinner.

He held the child’s hand and walked into the imperial garden to take a walk to aid their digestion.

The night was long and the stars were densely packed.

The moonlight was bright and gentle.

The sounds of insects in the imperial garden fluctuated. Even the lake water rippled with a sparkling luster.

Gu Yihan was busy with government affairs, but he would always take some time to accompany his daughter’s growth.

As the father and daughter walked, he told Gu Nuo’er about the interesting things in the court.

Gu Yihan analyzed the imperial court very thoroughly and explained his understanding as an emperor to his daughter.

Gu Nuo’er was very obedient and listened very seriously.

Chunshou led a group of palace maids and guards and followed behind at a distance.

He left some time for the father and daughter to be alone warmly.

“Father, what kind of person was Imperial Grandmother?” Gu Nuo’er held her father’s big hand and looked up curiously.

Gu Yihan was stunned.

His biological mother, the former Empress Chi, had always been a taboo that he could not mention.

In the past, when an official accidentally mentioned it, he was killed and sentenced to death by Gu Yihan.

Only when Gu Nuo’er asked would Gu Yihan not be angry.

After a long while, he sighed softly.

“Actually, Father was very young when I lost my mother and can’t remember her appearance anymore. I only remember that she was very strict and very busy.”

Gu Yihan carried Gu Nuo’er and sat in a small pavilion to rest.

The moonlight was gentle and the lake was sparkling.

Gu Nuo’er tilted her head and listened to Gu Yihan quietly.

“At that time, she fought endlessly with Grand Consort Yu and rarely cared about me. Therefore, when the incident happened, Father was still young and naturally didn’t know who to trust.

“I did hate her for a period of time, but my longing for my biological mother came deep from my bones. When I gradually grew up, I understood that it wasn’t easy for her back then.

“Unfortunately, it was too late. No matter how much I wanted to investigate the truth back then, I couldn’t find any traces of it. When I had grown to become sensible, her tomb was already covered in grass

Gu Nuo’er rested her chin on her small hand. “Oh, Imperial Grandmother must have been a really amazing person. That’s because even Father is so amazing!”

Gu Yihan laughed heartily and looked at the starry sky, muttering, “That’s right. Father’s mother is a very amazing person.”

At the age of 14, she was already a talented young lady who was famous in the capital. There was an endless stream of people pursuing and admiring her.

He didn’t expect such a talented young lady to fall in love with the late emperor back then.

Therefore, she put away her ambitions and dreams that were not inferior to men.

In the harem, for the sake of His Majesty’s love, she fought with others until her head bled. In the end, she even lost her life.

At the thought of this, Gu Yihan couldn’t help but massage his glabella, feeling troubled.

He said to Gu Nuo’er, “Nuo’er, promise Father this. In the future, even if you don’t marry anyone, don’t randomly pick a husband just for the sake of getting married.”

Gu Yihan narrowed his eyes. “It’s good for you to not get married as well. Father will support you. When Father passes away many years later, your older brothers will protect you.”

Gu Nuo’er pouted. “Father, you’re talking about something that’s too long away. Nuo’er is still young!”

The child hugged Gu Yihan’s hand and blinked her thick eyelashes. “Father, do you still remember that you gave Baby Nuo the key to a private treasury?

Gu Yihan smiled and nodded. “I remember. Why?”

Gu Nuo’er lowered her eyelashes in embarrassment.

She puffed up her cheeks and said softly, “I accidentally lost it…

Gu Yihan thought that it was something serious.

He patted his daughter’s small shoulder comfortingly.

“My good daughter, don’t worry. It must have fallen somewhere. Father will get people to keep an eye out when they are patrolling later. It’s just a small thing. Don’t take it to heart.”
