The memories of the past were still vivid in his mind.

After Qiao Yayu became Gu Yihan’s Noble Consort Qiao, her personality restrained a lot!

Especially after having his precious daughter, Gu Nuo’er, she became even more steady and decisive.

However, the girl who questioned him under the scorching sun back then was in high spirits and had picturesque eyes.

Gu Yihan would never forget it.

He couldn’t help but say, “Noble Consort, how about we compete again tonight? This time, let Nuo’er testify.”

Noble Consort Qiao was stunned. “Your Majesty, this isn’t appropriate.”

However, the child was overjoyed and clapped her hands.

“Nuo’er wants to see, Nuo’er wants to see!”

Gu Yihan put Gu Nuo’er down and turned to grab Noble Consort Qiao’s wrist.

“What’s inappropriate about it? Back then, I was the one who gave in to you. Chunshou, bring two swords over!”

Gu Nuo’er also called out softly.

“Elder Sister Wanyin, Elder Sister Wanxuan, bring my food, drinks, and fabric tiger to the courtyard!”

The scene of her parents sparring was one that mustn’t be missed!

Noble Consort Qiao was brought to the courtyard by Gu Yihan and was a little hesitant.

“How long has it been since Your Majesty last held a sword? What if you say that your consort is bullying you?” She blinked.

Gu Nuo’er had inherited that innocent and eager look from her.

Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows and sneered. “I didn’t neglect my training much. However, Noble Consort, don’t beg me to show mercy later.”

Noble Consort Qiao’s desire to fight was aroused.

She rolled up her sleeves, turned around, took the longsword Chunshou had brought over, and drew a beautiful sword move.

“Your Majesty, make your move!”

Gu Yihan picked up his longsword and took a step forward, striking out with the blade!

A white light flashed and let out a clanging sound of swords colliding.

Noble Consort Qiao’s black hair fluttered and she blocked the attack easily.

Gu Nuo’er crossed her small feet and sat on a stone stool not far away, eating walnut cake and cheering.

“Mother is really amazing. Hurry up and beat Father until he begs for mercy!”

“Father, you’re the best! Mother will definitely not be your match!”

The child’s words made the palace servants present burst out laughing.

Wanyin and Wanxuan stood behind Gu Nuo’er and smiled.

“In this servant’s opinion, the princess is the best. Your Highness is praising both of them, not ignoring either of them.”

Gu Nuo’er patted the walnut crumbs off her hands.

Her round and fair face was serious.

“You guys don’t understand. This is called a gentle policy. I’ll appease everyone. Be it Father or Mother, I’ll treat everyone equally! Both of them are precious to me!”

The palace servants immediately laughed.

As for Gu Yihan and Noble Consort Qiao, they were in a deadlock and their martial arts skills were on par.

If one took a closer look, they would discover that Noble Consort Qiao’s sword wind was cold and sharp and her attacks were fast and anxious.

On the other hand, Gu Yihan’s movements were skillful. As he blocked, he naturally had a calm feeling.

The two of them had actually learned their sword techniques from the Grace Defender Duke, Old Master Qiao.

However, because of their different personalities, the sword techniques also changed under their hands.

The more Noble Consort Qiao wanted to prove herself, the more she flipped her wrist, the faster the sword light became.

However, in an instant, Gu Yihan seized the opportunity.

He was the first to grab Noble Consort Qiao’s wrist that was holding the sword. Then, he pressed down, causing the sword’s edge to fall.

Gu Yihan turned around and went behind Noble Consort Qiao.

His other hand gently pressed down on her neck.

Gu Yihan smiled next to her ear. “My beloved consort, if you were to fight someone else, your blood would already be splattered on the spot. You’ve lost.”

Noble Consort Qiao panted. “Your consort is just giving in to Your Majesty!”

A hint of amusement flashed across Gu Yihan’s handsome eyes.

Time had turned the person he had liked since he was young into a mother.

However, it didn’t change how she looked in his memory.

It didn’t take away her beauty and uniqueness.

He was very gratified and happy.

Therefore, Gu Yihan lowered his voice and said to Noble Consort Qiao, “You said that the Qiao Family’s family motto is to serve the country loyally.

“Actually, you don’t necessarily have to go to the borders to be considered loyal to the emperor. By accompanying me, you’re also serving the country.

“You’re being loyal to your husband, not the emperor. You’re repaying the family that comprises of us and Nuo’er.”
