When they arrived at the Taiping Garden, the palace lights were bright. The beautiful trees and jade flowers in the garden were accentuated by the night.
Many officials and n.o.bles had already arrived.
They stood together in groups of twos and threes and chatted.
There were also some young ladies who were familiar with each other who gathered together and smiled sweetly.
The moment Gu Nuo’er entered, she attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone had long heard that the Great Qi’s Princess Yaoguang had entered the palace.
Not only did she not become a prisoner, but she was also arranged by Ling Tianyin to stay in Consort Lu’s palace.
Some people guessed that it was because Princess Yaoguang had used some unknown method to curry favor with Consort Lu.
Ling Tianyin had always doted on Consort Lu and her son.
Therefore, it wasn’t strange for the enemy country’s princess to stay in Consort Lu’s palace.
However, when they saw Gu Nuo’er, they all felt that it must be because Princess Yaoguang was too cute that Ling Tianyin was especially benevolent.
The child was wearing a light-colored dress and stood at the door, looking forward to the event.
Her fair and pink face, thin eyebrows, and eyes were like two black pearls.
Her big eyes were sparkling.
At this moment, the evening wind blew at her sleeves and hair.
It made her look as good-looking as a little fairy who had come to the banquet while riding the wind.
After everyone finished looking at her, they noticed the cold youth beside her.
If Princess Yaoguang was said to be delicate and sweet…
Then, this youth’s entire body was suffused with a cold aura like a treasured sword being unsheathed.
His eyes were extremely handsome and deep, but the way he looked at people was cold and insightful.
It was as if one look from him would render a person immediately being seen through.
The youth’s eyes were like two deep pools.
Everyone immediately guessed it.
This must be the number one expert in Great Qi who had defeated the Zheng Family’s army a few days ago, Marquis Yongye.
It was said that he had not only beaten up General Zheng and the others.
He even entered the palace easily and killed the a.s.sa.s.sins who wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate the emperor.
Be it Princess Yaoguang or Marquis Yongye, these two people were legendary figures.
They had finally seen both of them today!
Wei Cang was the first to walk towards Gu Nuo’er.
“Your Highness.” Wei Cang looked calm, but there was a hint of emotion and excitement in his voice.
When Gu Nuo’er saw him, she smiled sweetly. “Dudu, you’re here too!” Wei Cang nodded. He took two steps back and bowed slightly to Gu Nuo’er.
“I heard that Your Highness helped me out and saved me from prison. Please accept Wei Cang’s bow.”
Gu Nuo’er smiled, her eyes sparkling as if stars had fallen in them.
“We’re all on the same side. Why are you being so polite to me? It’s fine as long as Emperor Ling doesn’t bully you.”
When Wei Cang heard Ling Tianyin’s nickname, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Wei Cang didn’t expect Ling Tianyin not to make things difficult for Gu Nuo’er.
However, the feeling Gu Nuo’er gave him had always been that she was obedient and smart, but she had her own opinions.
Although she was young, she had a lot of ideas.
Knowing that she was doing well, Wei Cang felt relieved.
Gu Nuo’er asked, “Why are you alone? Where’s Gugu?”
“Yuan Gu is over there. He was just talking about how Your Highness still hasn’t come. I’ll bring Your Highness over.”
Wei Cang made an inviting gesture.
Gu Nuo’er took two steps and realized that Ye Siming, who she was holding, hadn’t taken a step forward.
The child turned around.
She realized that Ye Siming’s gaze was fixed on a group of generals gathered not far away.
One of them was Yuan Gu.
He was smiling honestly and kept waving in Wei Cang and Gu Nuo’er’s direction.
Ye Siming frowned slightly, his gaze revealing a hint of coldness.
If the little thing were to go over, he could imagine how those people would praise her for being cute..
