Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gu Nuo’er’s small face was round, fair, and cute.

She blinked her slender eyelashes and smiled. “Of course I’ll be happy. Let’s go,

Elder Brother Siming. I’ll bring you to see something!”

The child naturally reached out her delicate palm, grabbed Ye Siming’s sleeve, and walked forward.

The two of them came to an extremely spacious and glorious hall in the palace.

There were bold words written on the plaque: Library Pavilion.

A few officials from the Secretary Office were already bowing and waiting here a long time ago.

When they saw Gu Nuo’er coming, they quickly went up to her and lowered their heads to pay their respects.

The child waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to stand on ceremony. “Uncles, thank you for your hard work today! ”

The officials from the Secretary Office quickly said, “It’s this subject’s honor to be able to share Your Highness’s burdens. Your Highness, please enter. These subjects have already prepared brush, paper, and ink.”

Gu Nuo’er nodded and turned to say to Ye Siming, “I’m preparing to draw a painting today. Elder Brother Siming, come and accompany me.”

Ye Siming raised his eyebrows.

He didn’t know how to draw.

However, it didn’t matter. For the sake of the little thing, he should be able to learn it now.

After the two of them entered, the first thing they saw was rows of bookshelves.

The fragrance of books and ink filled the hall.

The library contained many authentic masterpieces by renowned masters, calligraphy and paintings, ancient books, and so on that had long been lost in the world.

There were so many books. Even if a person were to read one every day, it would take them five to six years to finish reading all the books here.

However, Gu Nuo’er had almost gone through all of them.

The people from the Secretary Office brought her to a big table next to the bookshelves, facing the window.

The table had long been set up with inkstone and various types of paper.

Actually, if Gu Nuo’er wanted to find someone to draw, there were also painters with superb painting skills in the palace whom she could ask for help.

However, the officials in the Secretary Office were even more impressive.

They were usually in charge of recording everything about His Majesty’s daily life.

Therefore, not only did they have to have good handwriting, but sometimes, they also had to add paintings beside the words to record his deeds more clearly.

In the Secretary Office, portraits of every emperor and empress were stored

and recorded in the booklet.

At this moment, the official from the Secretary Office took out a thin book.

“There aren’t many portraits of the former Empress. Back then, when she was first reported as the empress, the Secretary Office drew a portrait of her and the late emperor together. Your Highness, please take a look.”

Gu Nuo’er took it and opened it.

A beauty with a dignified smile and a natural bearing entered her eyes.

Her pink fingers slowly touched the woman’s face. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her imperial grandmother’s smile back then was really beautiful.

She must have been feeling very blissed back then, right?

Gu Nuo’er immediately decided. “Let’s draw according to this expression. You guys help me draw the lines and I’ll fill in the colors. Oh right, remember to leave a spot beside her.”

“Yes.”

The officials from the Secretary Office received the order and immediately dispersed to work together.

A long piece of paper was placed horizontally on the table.

The officials who were best at drawing expressions were in charge of painting Empress Chi’s head, while those who were good at posture drew her body.

The last person was good at checking for misses, so he was in charge of adding finishing touches.

Their movements were extremely fast and their hands were steady. As their brushes fluttered smoothly, the image of a smiling former Empress appeared on the paper.

Gu Nuo’er had her hands behind her back and had been watching seriously from the side.

She suddenly said softly, “That’s not right. Her expression is like this, but I also want her eyes to have a little more motherly love apart from just smiling.”

The official held the brush and hesitated, not knowing how to continue for a long time..
