Chapter 298 - Grandpa—! I’m Here!

Gu Nuo’er’s eyelashes fluttered and joy appeared on her small face. “Grandpa and Grandma are back?!”

She had seen them when she was two years old.

Thereafter, her God of War grandfather, who couldn’t stay idle, brought her maternal grandmother and her cousin’s family out to travel.

Noble Consort Qiao had an older brother and he had a son with his wife.

Gu Nuo’er’s cousin was cold like jade, rather patient, and had very good self-control.

Not only that, but he had been familiar with the four books and five scriptures since he was young. It could be said that he was well-read.

However, the heavens didn’t allow good things to come by. In her cousin’s early years, when he was riding a horse to hunt, he accidentally fell and injured his bones.

He had been in a wheelchair ever since.

Noble Consort Qiao’s brother and sister-in-law had also looked for famous doctors to treat his leg, but it had never fully recovered.

When Gu Nuo’er was young, she was very naughty and liked to climb onto her cousin’s knees to sit.

At that time, she was so small that she couldn’t even sit properly. She had to let Qiao Xiuli support her!

However, she liked to sit on her cousin’s knees while he pushed the wheelchair. The child felt very satisfied when the wind blew against her face!

Qiao Xiuli’s expression was indifferent and he did not get angry with the child.

When the child heard that her grandparents were coming back, she was extremely happy.

She quickly stood up. “Baby Nuo wants to bring something back too!”

As she spoke, Gu Nuo’er placed her hands on her hips and instructed in a childish voice, “Wrap up the sweet pastries that Baby Nuo didn’t finish today. Give them to Grandpa tomorrow!”

When Noble Consort Qiao heard this, she laughed charmingly.

“Baby Nuo, Baby Nuo, aren’t you going to bring your grandfather something good?”

Gu Nuo’er blinked her big innocent eyes, her gaze watery. “This is the best! As it’s too delicious, Baby Nuo even specially saved two pieces for tomorrow!

“But because Grandpa is back, Baby Nuo will bear the pain and part with my love to share it with Grandpa!”

The child looked at Wanyin. “Elder Sister Wanyin, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and help me pack them up!”

Wanyin smiled helplessly and looked at Noble Consort Qiao. Noble Consort Qiao raised her hand and gestured. “Since it’s Nuo’er’s filial piety, bring them along.”

Early the next morning, at the thought of meeting her family, the child woke up very early.

Gu Yihan watched as Little Nuo’er twisted her small butt and got Wanyin and Wanxuan to change her into a beautiful dress.

He sighed and looked at Noble Consort Qiao. “Come back after bringing Baby Nuo to stay for two to three days. Without Baby Nuo at night, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to sleep well.”

Noble Consort Qiao couldn’t help but laugh. “Your Majesty, your consort understands.”

The noble consort was heading back to visit her family and she was bringing the little princess home with her. Gu Yihan gave her plenty of extravagances.

First, there were imperial guards to clear the way. Then, a gorgeous carriage took the lead, followed by four carriages filled with precious rewards that had been bestowed.

Gu Nuo’er was wearing a red dress today. The color was as bright as if she had stolen the red sun in the sky.

Her skin was already fair, and this time, it made her look even more like a small white ball made of ice crystals.

Her cherry lips were pink and sparkling, and her facial features were exquisite and beautiful.

The carriage traveled all the way to the Grace Defender Duke’s manor. The butler sent a message inside. “Hurry up and inform the Old Master and Old Madam that Her Highness has returned! She’s already at the door.”

Noble Consort Qiao got off the carriage first. Her father, the Grace Defender Duke, was almost 70 years old, but he was still energetic and had a strong physique.

When the Grace Defender Duke saw her, his dignified expression did not change. “Why did you come back? You have to take care of everything in the palace. Wouldn’t you be causing trouble for His Majesty if you come back and stay for a few days?”

Noble Consort Qiao said helplessly, “Father, I have to come back to visit you guys. You guys have been gone for three to four years before coming back.”

At this moment, Gu Nuo’er jumped down from the carriage and shouted in a delicate voice, “Grandpa—! I’m here!”
