The gentle smile on Gu Rao’s face disappeared after being ignored.

She twisted her handkerchief tightly and watched as Ye Siming carried Gu Nuo’er away.

Why was a marquis and a princess so intimate with each other?!

Didn’t the others care?

Gu Rao was so angry that her chest heaved. She turned to Grand Consort Yu and complained, “Imperial Grandmother, has Sister Nuo’er been spoiled by

Imperial Uncle?”

Before Grand Consort Yu could say anything…

The palace maids behind them lowered their heads and said, “Commandery

Princess, Her Highness said just now that you’re not allowed to refer to Grand Consort Yu as ‘Imperial Grandmother’. Please change your wording and don’t make things difficult for us.”

Gu Rao frowned and turned around. “Her Highness didn’t order you guys to supervise us either. You guys were arranged by my imperial uncle to serve me and my imperial grandmother. Are you guys clear on your responsibilities?!”

The palace maid lowered her head and looked submissive. “Commandery Princess, if you don’t change your wording, this servant can only report to the Noble Consort.

“His Majesty also said that the Princess’s imperial order is equivalent to his imperial edict. If the noble consort finds out that you didn’t listen to the princess’s instructions, this servant is afraid this servant won’t be the only one punished.”

Gu Rao gritted her teeth and wanted to argue.

However, Grand Consort Yu tugged at her hand, indicating for her to endure it.

After all, it wasn’t easy for the emperor to agree to let Prince Guang enter the capital.

What they had to do now was to curry up to Gu Yihan and live steadily in the capital.

Never to return to their fief again.

In this world, there was no place that could compare to the capital where the emperor lived.

Gu Rao held back her anger.

On the other side, Gu Nuo’er had already been carried into the carriage by Ye Siming.

The two of them rode the carriage out of the palace.

As Ye Siming’s status became more and more important in the imperial court, Gu Yihan also relied on him very much.

Therefore, he was always busy with work.

Sometimes, when he wasn’t busy, Gu Nuo’er would definitely be busy dealing with the matters of her Four Seasons Sweet Shop.

This was because in the past year, Four Seasons Sweet Shop’s business had become increasingly popular.

The child had already used the profits from the to buy that street and expand her shop.

Recently, her hands had gone limp from earning money. She went to check the accounts every time.

The time the two of them could spend alone was greatly reduced.

This often made Ye Siming feel dissatisfied.

Therefore, he specially rejected everything today and asked the child to accompany him.

However, Gu Nuo’er suggested that unless he won her in hide-and-seek, Ye Siming would have to accompany her to the Four Seasons Sweet Shop to check the accounts.

In the carriage, Gu Nuo’er was still waving her small hands around. “Elder Brother Siming, can we compete again? It’s all those two unlucky fellows’ fault that I wasn’t able to hide well!” Ye Siming smiled in a fit of anger. “Where were you planning to hide?”

“There, behind that big tree.”

“Hiding there is equivalent to standing under my nose. No matter how many times we play, I’ll still be able to find you.”

Gu Nuo’er placed her hands on her hips and leaned back in Ye Siming’s arms, saying angrily, “Hmph, no matter what, it must be those two unlucky fellows’ fault that I was found by you!”

Ye Siming raised his eyebrows. “Why do you say that they’re unlucky?”

The child fluttered her long eyelashes. “It’s because the two of them have a stench of hearts’ that are leaning toward evil. Elder Brother Siming’s nose is so sharp. Can’t you smell it?”

Ye Siming’s thin lips curled up and he smiled coldly. “You want to say that my nose is sharp again and secretly call me a dog?”

“I’m saying it openly in front of you!”

The little thing was getting more and more out of hand.

Ye Siming got close to her and deliberately sniffed in front of her.

His cold eyes were deep as he sneered threateningly. “What a pity. I can probably only smell a fish fingerling.” Suddenly, Ye Siming realized—

Why was he so close to Gu Nuo’er’s lips?
