When Gu Nuo’er woke up early in the morning, it was no longer raining outside.
The scorching sun shone in all directions, dispelling the coolness brought by the night rain.
The air was filled with a slight heat wave.
The green trees and pink flowers in the courtyard swayed. After being washed by the rain, they looked even more beautiful.
The first thing Gu Nuo’er did when she sat up from the bed was to turn around to see if Ye Siming was still around.
However, not only was the place where Ye Siming slept empty, but even the bed that he had made was gone.
The child blinked.
Elder Brother Siming had already woken up?
At this moment, someone pushed open the door and entered.
Gu Nuo’er looked up and saw Ye Siming coming in with a plate of fragrant breakfast.
The youth’s black hair was tied up high and he was wearing black clothing with golden auspicious clouds embroidered on it. It accentuated his smooth waist.
His eyes were cold and he looked like a n.o.ble young master.
He saw Gu Nuo’er sitting on the bed and blinking her big eyes at him in a daze.
A smile instantly appeared on Ye Siming’s face.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why are you in a daze? Come down from the bed if you’ve woken up. I’ve brought you breakfast.”
Gu Nuo’er lifted the blanket and sat by the edge of the bed, wanting to put on her shoes.
However, she realized that for some reason, her small shoes were not on the footrest.
Instead, they were scattered not far away.
The child could only straighten one of her legs and try her best to reach for her shoes with her feet.
Before the tips of her toes could touch the shoe, Ye Siming’s well-defined hand grabbed her ankle.
Ye Siming had become increasingly adept at putting on her shoes for her. He did it very smoothly.
Gu Nuo’er sat up obediently. “Elder Brother Siming, you’re up early!”
Ye Siming pursed his lips and was about to answer.
He had once heard Bai Yi say that there was a rule in the mortal world that men and women would have different seats when they reach seven years old.
As the saying went, there was a difference between men and women.
A lady’s reputation was very important.
Gu Nuo’er was already about six to seven years old.
This was Xili, and there were strangers everywhere.
Ye Siming had to protect Gu Nuo’er well and pay more attention to her reputation and innocence.
In order not to let others see him sleeping in this room and gossip about the little thing,
He left the hall at dawn.
The youth sat on the roof until sunrise.
However, he hesitated for a moment and didn’t say these words to Gu Nuo’er.
There was no need for her to know that he was watching over her.
“Yes, I couldn’t sleep,” Ye Siming replied simply.
Gu Nuo’er’s eyelashes fluttered.
Oh, Elder Brother Siming couldn’t fall asleep. Did he miss Uncle Bai Yi too?
The child reached out her hand and patted him comfortingly.
“Elder Brother Siming, we can go home after playing for a while more.
“By the way, we’ve successfully entered the palace. What about Little Foxy?”
Hu Ni was Ye Siming’s friend after all. Perhaps Elder Brother Siming would be happier with him around.
When Ye Siming heard Hu Ni’s name, his expression was calm.
His tone was indifferent. “He’s cunning by nature and has many ways to get in.
You don’t have to worry about him.”
A hint of understanding appeared on Gu Nuo’er’s pink face.
Elder Brother Siming was right. The little foxy was very smart!
At this moment, Consort Lu’s palace maid, Qianhong, said at the door, “Princess Yaoguang, this servant is here on Her Highness’s orders to send you clothes.”
Gu Nuo’er turned her head, her eyes curved, and her watery eyes looked even more exquisite. “Come in.”
Qianhong waved her hand and three palace maids entered with trays.
Gu Nuo’er took a look.
Apart from a lily-green dress, there was also a matching jade lotus pollen head accessory.
They were all new.
Qianhong smiled and said, “We had the Palace Bureau to rush these out last night. Your Highness, try it on to see if it fits you..”
