Gu Nuoer nodded happily, with a pair of eyebrows and eyes that curved into crescent moons in a smile, with broken light shining in her eyes.
Gu Zitang took Gu Nuoer back to the palace, and the brother and sister went to the cold palace with ease.
The box was dug out under the dead tree in the familiar old place.
Gu Zitang placed the silver neatly inside.
Afterwards, the second prince took his sister and walked along the palace road to take Gu Nuoer back to Qiushui Palace first.
On the way, Gu Zitang finally confirmed——
"Nuo'er, you remember what you promised to your brother, right? This is the money you and I earned. If anyone asks,
When we go out to play, where does the remaining money go? How should you answer?"
Gu Nuoer held the cloth tiger in her little hand and walked slowly.
"To be honest, Nobao doesn't know!"
Gu Zitang touched her little head happily: "My sister is so good."
"But," Gu Nuoer fluttered her long eyelashes in confusion: "Second brother, are you afraid that Yi Niang will take away your money?"
Gu Zitang nodded seriously: "My mother-in-law is a shrewd thinker. Every time during the Chinese New Year, she said she would help me keep the red envelope given by my grandpa!
However, if you keep it, it will become her own. Sister, you must know that my brother is so independent because of his mother and concubine."
Gu Nuoer's pink lips opened in a round arc: "Oh~"
She shook her head and thought about it. Fortunately, her mother didn't like silver.
Thinking of this, Gu Nuoer tilted her little head.
Well, what does mother like?
In my impression, her mother, Concubine Qiao, was so beautiful that she dominated the harem.
It seems that I have never had any particular preferences.
While the little guy was deep in thought, he and Gu Zitang had returned to Qiushui Palace.
Before the two of them entered, they heard a sweet laugh coming from the hall——
"Sister Imperial Concubine, Zitang has been gifted since he was a child. Even my concubine's father praised him for being a born businessman."
Concubine Qiao said in a gentle voice: "Having said that, after all, the second prince is the oldest among all the princes except the eldest prince.
The Emperor has high hopes for you, so you should not always compete with him over matters of money. You should cultivate his literary, Taoist, and military strategies as early as possible."
A hint of something bad flashed in Gu Zitang's peach blossom eyes.
No, his mother is here!
He knelt down and whispered to Gu Nuoer: "Sister, you can go in by yourself, the second brother will be sent here."
Gu Zitang never expected that he had just finished speaking.
Concubine Qiao's eldest maid, Wanyin, came out to add tea, and happened to see the brother and sister walking down the steps.
Wanyin smiled and called: "Your Highness, little princess, are you back?"
It was too late for Gu Zitang to run away.
Concubine Yi's voice came from the palace, with a hint of force and domineering: "Zitang, why don't you bring your sister in!"
Gu Zitang gritted his teeth secretly, and the word "unlucky" seemed to float in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Gu Nuoer held Buhuhu in her little hands: "Second brother, are you not leaving?"
Gu Zitang muttered in a low voice: "The tigress is here and can't escape!"
After the brother and sister entered, Gu Nuoer saw her extremely gorgeous mother sitting among the seats.
Concubine Qiao's hair is still neat and tidy, her clothes are like piles of snow, her whole person is extremely beautiful, her eyebrows are stern and proud.
The beautiful woman on her right has an oval face and crescent eyebrows.
When not smiling, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and his almond-shaped eyes are bright and lively, revealing a shrewdness that is hard to fool.
Gu Nuoer ran over and threw herself into her mother's arms first.
Then, the little guy raised his head and shouted sweetly: "Yi Niangqin! Nono hasn't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!"
