Early the following day.

Gu Nuo’er ate at the table.

The child pricked up her ears and eavesdropped on Wanyin and Noble Consort Qiao’s whispers.

Wanyin lowered her voice and said, “Before dawn, Grand Consort Yu was escorted to the temple hall by the imperial guards.”

“This servant heard that Grand Consort Yu was a little unwilling at first, so the imperial guards scolded her angrily! They scared Grand Consort Yu so much that she obediently chanted sutras.”

“After a while, His Majesty sent someone to say that if Grand Consort Yu doesn’t finish reading today’s portion of the 100 times, she won’t be able to eat. It’s obvious that they’ve really made His Majesty unhappy this time! His Majesty has also made up his mind to deal with Grand Consort Yu ruthlessly.”

As she spoke, Wanyin couldn’t help but smile again. “She still has to copy the sutras after reciting. This will definitely tire her out!”

When Noble Consort Qiao heard this, a disdainful smile appeared on her red lips.

“Grand Consort Yu, that old hag…” She was about to say something nasty to humiliate her.

Noble Consort Qiao suddenly recalled that her daughter was sitting behind her and eating.

She quickly turned around.

The child was fluttering her long eyelashes and biting her chopsticks as she eavesdropped on their conversation.

Seeing that Noble Consort Qiao was looking over, she pretended to lick her lips again and looked seriously at the buns in the bowl that only had skin left.

“It’s so delicious!”

Noble Consort Qiao retracted her gaze.

She lowered her voice even more. “Grand Consort Yu, that old hag, used to make Godmother suffer a lot when Godmother was still alive.

“Now that she’s in my hands, I naturally can’t let her have an easy time. Wanyin, go and find a few palace maids to interfere while she’s reciting the sutra. If she reads it wrongly, let the imperial guards supervise the restart. How can she not be sincere?”

Wanyin nodded. “Yes, this servant will go now.”

Although the master and servant’s voices were low,

However, the child heard the whispers clearly.

She blinked her watery eyes.

Oh, it seemed that her mother had her eyes on this Grand Consort Yu in the palace and she wouldn’t be able to create trouble for the time being. Gu Nuo’er wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and rinsed her mouth.

She jumped and stood on the ground.

“Mother, I’m full. I’m going out!”

Noble Consort Qiao was thinking about bringing her daughter for a walk in the garden.

When she heard this, she raised her beautiful eyebrows in surprise. “Nuo’er, there are no classes at the state school today. Where are you going?”

Gu Nuo’er looked back. On her fair face, her eyes were big and her eyelashes were long.

She was a little proud. “The sweet shop I opened is having a collaboration with a rouge shop, Colorful Hall, to hold an elegant gathering. It’s going to be held at the Victory Chess Hall today. As the owner, I have to go and show support!”

Noble Consort Qiao’s beautiful eyes immediately lit up with interest.

“Elegance gathering? One for poetry and songs?”

Gu Nuo’er nodded.

Noble Consort Qiao’s eyes carried a hint of pride. “My daughter is really amazing. She’s like a little adult and can even hold a poetry gathering with others!”

After saying that, she stood up and her wide blue sleeves fell.

Noble Consort Qiao tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her soft and slender fingertips and said firmly, “Then Mother has to go with you to take a look.”

Gu Nuo’er’s big eyes were filled with surprise.

“Mother is going too?”

Would her father discover this?!

Noble Consort Qiao was a person of action when it came to Gu Nuo’er.

She immediately turned around and walked towards the inner hall. “Of course Mother has to go. This is our Nuo’er’s first time doing a collaboration with someone. How can I not go and take a look?”

As she spoke, she pondered for a moment and said, “Why don’t we call Consort

Yi along? She has a lot of money, so it’s more suitable for her to support us!”

Noble Consort Qiao quickly walked into the inner room, planning to change her clothes.

At this moment, she heard Wanxuan’s call from outside— “Your Highness, the princess has run away!”
