Ye Siming quickly dodged to the side and flipped over. He took a step back and stood steadily.
The three stones collided with a bang and landed where he was standing just now.
“Aiya! Why is it Elder Brother Siming?!” Gu Nuo’er’s small head popped out from behind the window.
She quickly ran over. “Elder Brother Siming, are you alright?”
The eighth prince and Wanyin followed behind her.
Gu Zilan waved his hand. “These stones can’t hurt anyone. Moreover, Marquis
Yongye is skilled. He dodged them just now!”
Wanyin was a little worried. “Princess, let’s not play anymore. It won’t be good if we were to hurt the noble consort when she comes back later.
Moreover, His Majesty might come back after he was done with his work!
Ye Siming frowned coldly. “Why are you guys setting up a trap in the courtyard?”
The child ran forward and hugged one of Ye Siming’s hands. She said softly, “I learned it from Eighth Brother. The hunting starts tomorrow. I want to join in and play too. If I can’t catch anything, it’ll be embarrassing.”
After saying that, she pointed at the stones with her small hand. “The mechanism that Eighth Brother made can catch a few little rabbits or raccoons.”
Ye Siming lowered his eyes. “With just these few stones?”
Gu Zilan could hear the disdain in his tone.
He quickly said, “Don’t look down on these stones. It’ll still hurt if they hit a sparrow or a rabbit! If Marquis Yongye hadn’t come just now, we might have been able to catch a sparrow.”
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes and nodded.
Gu Zilan said happily, “Sister, you can team up with me for the autumn hunt tomorrow!”
When hunting, in order to ensure the safety of everyone who entered the forest, His Majesty would usually allow two to three people to go together. There could be no more than five people in a group.
The prey was distributed evenly. If the team gets first place, everyone in the team would be rewarded.
Therefore, people usually formed teams of five.
This way, the possibility of getting first place would be the highest.
Gu Zilan smiled and said, “At that time, I’ll call a few more young masters and we’ll have five people. Brother can hunt you whatever you want.”
Gu Nuo’er’s black eyelashes fluttered.
“Oh, then…”
“No.” Before she could answer, Ye Siming quickly interrupted.
His expression was cold. “The weapons in the forest have no eyes. You can’t go. What prey do you want? I’ll get it for you.”
When Gu Nuo’er heard this, she immediately shook her hand and blinked pitifully.
“Elder Brother Siming, just let me go with you. Otherwise, if I miss this opportunity, the next autumn hunt will be three years later. Please? I like Elder Brother Siming the most!”
The most?
Ye Siming’s brows relaxed a little. He pondered for a moment and said, “You can go, but you’ll have to follow me.”
“Alright!” The child agreed without thinking.
She didn’t forget to turn around and wave at the eighth prince. “Eighth Brother, I won’t be in the same group as you then. Elder Brother Siming will protect me. It’ll be very safe. Don’t worry!”
Ye Siming bent down and picked Gu Nuo’er up. “When I was training the troops just now, I picked some fruits in the forest. I’ll bring you to eat them.” He nodded slightly at Gu Zilan and carried Gu Nuo’er away.
The child said sweetly, “There are fruits to eat! Goodbye, Eighth BrotherWanyin quickly followed.
Gu Zilan was left standing on the spot alone.
He scratched his head. He felt that as Nuo’er’s biological brother, why didn’t he seem to be as close to her as Marquis Yongye?
No, he was her biological brother!
Gu Zilan quickly walked towards his place.
He planned to carve a small horse made of wood for Gu Nuo’er. She could ride on it and rock herself.
Nuo’er would definitely like it..
