However, as long as he saw the seal, he would think of what Bai Yi had said.
“You have to make meritorious contributions yourself to have more confidence in standing by the princess’s side.”
Therefore, he came without hesitation.
It was a good opportunity to repay Bai Yi and his wife for their adoption.
It was also for Gu Nuo’er.
He didn’t want to be the person who would only rely on the princess in the eyes of others.
The youth didn’t look back. For the sake of the little thing in his heart, he stepped onto this path that no one was willing to take.
Meanwhile…
A gorgeous carriage that came out of the palace stopped in front of the Bai Manor.
If Gu Nuo’er wanted to go to the disaster relief to treat the people, she mustn’t let Ye Siming know.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to use her powers!
Therefore, the child asked the imperial guards to go to the manor to call Bai Yi out alone.
Bai Yi was about to go to the palace to tell His Majesty that Ye Siming had gone to provide disaster relief on his behalf!
When he reached the door, he happened to receive the princess’s invitation.
He quickly walked near the carriage. “Your Highness, why are you here? Siming…”
“Shh.”
The child lifted the curtain and beckoned with her soft and fair hand, interrupting Bai Yi. “Uncle Bai, lean over. I’ll tell you secretly.”
Bai Yi leaned forward.
Gu Nuo’er said in a soft voice, “Uncle Bai, I’m going to inspect some of the sugar shops’ businesses these few days. They’re much better than ours!
“However, I told Father that I came to your house to play. If I’m not at home these few days and the palace sends someone to ask, get the people in the manor to help me cover for me!”
However, Bai Yi frowned.
This concerned the little princess’s safety. How could he hide it from His Majesty?!
Before Bai Yi could refuse, the child immediately said, “I’ll get someone to send a letter every day to inform you that I’m safe. Don’t worry!”
After saying that, her long eyelashes fluttered and her sparkling eyes were filled with a hint of pleading. Her voice also became pitiful.
“Uncle Bai, are you going to reject me?”
Seeing how the child looked, Bai Yi really couldn’t bring himself to say no.
“But Princess…’
“Uncle Bai, mmm-” The child held her chubby hands together and shook them up and down like a kitten.
Bai Yi sighed. “Alright, then you must send a letter back. Otherwise, this subject can only tell His Majesty.”
Gu Nuo’er immediately smiled sweetly. “Alright, I’ll remember it.”
Bai Yi continued to instruct, “Recently, the plague has been rampant outside the city and the city isn’t safe either. Your Highness, remember not to run around recklessly. There are hidden guards following you, right?”
“Yes, yes.” The child nodded repeatedly.
Only then did Bai Yi feel much more relieved.
Gu Nuo’er continued, “Uncle Bai, remember to help me hide this matter from Elder Brother Siming! It’s because I… Well… I want to give him a surprise!”
Bai Yi didn’t doubt the authenticity of these words and nodded in agreement.
He was about to say that Ye Siming had gone to Ning’an Village, but Gu Nuo’er had already retracted her small body.
The child’s soft voice sounded from behind the curtain. “Uncle Bai, hurry up and set off!”
Bai Yi didn’t say anything else. After bidding goodbye, he got onto his horse and quickly headed in the direction of the palace.
Gu Nuo’er was secretly delighted.
Originally, Bai Yi was going to provide disaster relief.
Since he wasn’t home, he wouldn’t know if she had sent any letters back.
However, to be safe, she still got the Bai Manor’s servant to call Hu Ni out.
Ever since he came to the Bai Manor, Hu Ni had been living a good life.
The sky was already quite bright, but he was still sleeping in a daze. When Gu Nuo’er saw Hu Ni, he was still stretching and yawning.
“Who’s looking for me?!”
Gu Nuo’er narrowed her eyes and smiled. “It’s me!” When Hu Ni heard this voice, he instinctively woke up.
“Good older sister, why are you here?!”
