The empress did not bring many people with her. Other than her maids, A’Yun and Mu Shuzhen, there were only some guards.

Gu Nuo’er brought Ye Siming and Wanyin along with Noble Consort Qiao’s hidden guards.

The group chose to respect the empress’s preferences and travel in a low-profile manner. Therefore, they also chose a carriage that was not luxurious.

This was to avoid them being targeted by people who had evil designs.

Gu Nuo’er was naturally happy to be able to go out and play.

After she got into the carriage, she urged them to leave.

Only Gu Yihan stood at the palace gate and watched the carriage leave, feeling extremely reluctant to see them leave.

He began to recall that when his daughter was just born, he was the one who carried her back to the palace tightly in his arms.

When had she ever left his side for five to six days?!

The following days were going to be tough.

The empress and Gu Nuo’er sat in the carriage. A’Yun, Mu Shuzhen, and Wanyin sat in the other carriage behind.

Ye Siming rode beside the entourage.

Gu Nuo’er was wearing a spring-green cotton-padded jacket with a layer of rabbit fur around her collar. Her two buns made her look extremely cute.

Her eyes were bright, her cheeks were red, and she looked like a porcelain doll.

The child was in an extremely good mood. She leaned against the window and rested her chin on her small arm.

She called out to Ye Siming, who was riding at a constant speed.

“Elder Brother Siming, it’s so cold outside. Can you come into the carriage?”

Ye Siming neither sped up nor stopped but turned to glance at her.

The Gu Nuo’er in his eyes now was like a little white bun waiting to be bitten.

Ye Siming retracted his gaze. “Move your head back in. It’s dangerous like this.”

Gu Nuo’er refused to listen. She shook her head and blinked mischievously. “Then get into the carriage!”

Suddenly, Ye Siming drew the sword at his waist and pushed Gu Nuo’er’s head back into the carriage with the sheath.

Almost in the next second, a thick branch suddenly brushed past the carriage window, causing a rustling sound.

Ye Siming could have chosen to cut off the branch, but this was not safe.

If the branch wasn’t broken, it would cut the child’s face.

Gu Nuo’er was pushed back into the carriage.

She also heard the sound of the branch scratching against the carriage.

The empress took her into her arms and gently stroked her head to comfort her. “Baby Nuo, don’t lean out of the window anymore. It’s too dangerous. You can play when we reach the monastery.”

Gu Nuo’er touched her forehead with her small hand. Ye Siming didn’t use much strength to push her.

However, she was delicate and soft, so she actually felt a little pain!

Gu Nuo’er lay in the empress’s arms and complained in a spoiled tone, “Empress Mother, that made Baby Nuo giddy. I have to eat a piece of candy to feel better.”

The empress couldn’t help but laugh. “Your mother told you to eat fewer candies.”

Gu Nuo’er raised her head. Her watery eyes looked pitiful as they emitted a young and helpless light beam.

“Just one~”

The empress had always been soft-hearted and nodded. Gu Nuo’er took a piece of yellow candy from the table and stuffed it into her mouth, narrowing her eyes in bliss.

After that, Gu Nuo’er was indeed very obedient and did not poke her head out again.

Instead, she just hugged the heater. She didn’t even let go of it even though she felt so hot that a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The empress had told her a few times not to hold onto it, but she kept on complaining that she felt cold.

Ye Siming rode a horse outside and looked sideways to pay attention to the window many times.

He didn’t expect that the child was really so obedient.

Was she really not going to look out again?

Was she angry?

Ye Siming furrowed his brows and wondered.

When the carriage arrived in front of Taishi Monastery, a small round green figure jumped out.

“Elder Brother Siming, quick, catch me!”

Ye Siming did not expect Gu Nuo’er to suddenly jump out of the carriage. The carriage had yet to stop completely!

He hurriedly got off the horse and reached out to grab the child into his arms.
