Translator: Atlas Studios       Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Nuo’er had already run to the banquet venue in advance.

As it was His Majesty’s birthday, all the officials, consorts, and nobles would attend.

Therefore, the Internal Affairs Bureau and Noble Consort Qiao agreed to

choose the largest banquet venue in the palace—Taiqing Palace.

Taiqing Palace was formed from a main hall and dozens of small hall pavilions.

It occupied a wide area with arched eaves and a grand atmosphere.

The towering pine trees around added a hint of imperial majesty to Taiqing

Palace.

At this moment, many officials and consorts had already arrived.

Gu Nuo’er was wearing a vermilion dress. Her soft black hair was tied into a lively and cute bun with tassels on it.

Her face was fair and tender, and her watery eyes seemed to be able to communicate with people.

The moment the child appeared, she attracted everyone’s attention and they all paid their respects to the princess.

Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand and obediently gestured for them to dispense with the formalities.

At this moment, dozens of round tables had already been placed in the hall. The palace maids guarding the door would guide the guests to the tables they should sit at according to their identities.

Gu Yihan had already arranged Gu Nuo’er’s seat.

Next to the dragon throne at the top, a small dragon and phoenix chair was added.

Gu Yihan had specially ordered the Ministry of Works to make for the Gu Nuo’er when the child was two years old.

It was plated with pure gold and had pearls in the mouths of the dragon and phoenix, symbolizing the nobleness of Gu Nuo’er being doted on by everyone.

The child was not in a hurry to go to her seat.

She only pretended to be nonchalant and slipped behind a pillar.

Seeing that no one was looking over, she immediately held her breath and focused. Her black watery eyes immediately glowed with a faint blue light!

She muttered a few words softly with her pink lips. Dharmic incantations that mortals couldn’t see with their naked eyes immediately spread out and surrounded the hall, waiting for the opportunity to fall.

Hm-hmph, the inescapable net had already been set up. It was just a matter of whether Grand Consort Yu would come today.

At the same time, Bai Yi’s carriage stopped at the entrance of the imperial city.

Ye Siming was unwilling to take the carriage, so he rode next to the carriage.

At this moment, the youth was sitting on the back of a black-maned horse. He was wearing a white and red robe, making him look even more arrogant and handsome.

Many officials’ carriages had already gathered at the imperial city gate. Many people had brought their families to attend His Majesty’s birthday banquet.

Bai Yi and Madam Bai got out of the carriage. When Bai Yi saw that Ye Siming was still on the horse, he couldn’t help but say, “Hurry up and get off! Everyone is taking the carriage. How can you be the only one riding a horse?!”

Before Ye Siming could say anything, Madam Bai glared at him. “What’s wrong with riding a horse? It’s not like he’s riding a horse to barge into the palace. What’s the hurry?!”

Unexpectedly, Ye Siming said in the next second, “Last time, His Majesty gave me permission to ride a horse through the third imperial gate. Walking with you guys is too slow. I’ll make a move first.”

The third imperial gate was almost close to the inner palace.

After saying that, before Bai Yi could stop him, he raised his whip and sped towards the palace.

“Siming!” Bai Yi shouted, but he only saw the dust kicked up by the horse’s hooves and the youth’s straight back that didn’t turn around.

Many people at the side sighed. “Marquis Yongye is deeply trusted and valued by His Majesty. General Bai is so lucky.”

Because of this, Bai Yi could only laugh dryly and cup his hands. “I’ve embarrassed myself.”

He looked at Madam Bai, who was beside him, wanting to complain that she doted on her child too much.

Unexpectedly, Madam Bai looked at Ye Siming’s departing figure and praised from the bottom of her heart, “Husband, look at our Siming. He’s getting more and more handsome.”

Bai Yi sighed silently.

His wife was too protective of the child.

Suddenly, the crowd made way for a person who looked drunk and fell off the carriage.

Bai Yi took a closer look and saw that it was the former Prince Guang’s son, Gu Xinghan.

Now, because Prince Guang’s power had been snatched away, everyone could only call him Young Master Gu..
