Gu Nuo’er looked up, her eyes dark. “But Father said that the things in the private treasury are all your treasures!”
The child felt a little guilty. “It’s all my fault for being too careless. I’ll get Elder Brother Siming along to look for it with !”
Gu Yihan smiled and picked her up.
“Father’s best treasure is you. Other things and money are just worldly possessions. Nuo’er, you don’t have to worry about this. Let’s go. Father will bring you there to see the flowers again.”
The father and daughter left the pavilion.
Not far away, a sneaky palace maid quietly turned around and left.
She quickly returned to Zhuyou Palace.
She whispered a few words in Grand Consort Yu’s ear.
Grand Consort Yu was resting her head on her hand when she heard this and couldn’t help but open her eyes.
A hint of surprise appeared on her face. “Do you an what you said?”
“This servant was listening from the side. It’s absolutely true! The little princess lost the jade dragon key!”
Grand Consort Yu slamd the table. “Alright, the heavens are really helping . His Majesty really dotes on the princess to let her play with such a precious thing.
“The emperor’s private treasury has the heirloom jade seal that is not easily revealed to others! Losing the key is a small matter, but losing the jade seal is a big matter!”
The little palace maid had already been bribed by Grand Consort Yu and had long beco her trusted aide.
At this mont, she quickly asked, “What does Grand Consort intend to do?”
Grand Consort Yu thought about it.
Her slender eyes looked very shrewd and scheming.
She waved her hand. “I rember that the jade dragon design on the key was taken from a page in ‘Artistic Carving’. It’s a pattern that the late emperor liked a lot.
“Go to the library tomorrow and steal that book. Then, go outside the palace and find a craftsman to replicate that jade dragon design for . It doesn’t matter how much it costs. What’s important is the resemblance!”
The young palace maid was a little hesitant. “Your Highness, will this work?
Even if the jade dragon pattern is the sa, the jade might not be the sa color. His Majesty may notice that sothing is amiss.”
“You only need to choose a colorless tourmaline to deceive people.”
The more Grand Consort Yu spoke, the more excited she beca.
In the past, when she served the late emperor, she had seen the key with the jade dragon on it.
The dragon design was carved on the jade, looking very lifelike.
At that ti, Grand Consort Yu liked it very much.
She had once relied on the late emperor’s love for her to ask him to let her play with it for a few days.
However, she didn’t expect to be reprimanded by the late emperor for not knowing her standing.
Therefore, her mory of this event was especially deep.
The young palace maid nodded and rembered Grand Consort Yu’s request in her heart.
After she left, Grand Consort Yu was so happy that she couldn’t fall asleep, her eyes shining.
The little princess had lost the key.
If she lied and said that she had picked up the key and returned it to His
Majesty…
Wouldn’t that be considered a rit for her?
As Grand Consort Yu thought about this, she gently curled her lips and laughed.
Her tough days were coming to an end, right?
Soon, it was the third of March, the Double Third Festival.
Every ti there was such a lively festival, the streets would always be crowded with pedestrians.
Especially by the river, there would be a commotion on both sides of the river and the sounds of hawkers calling out to sell their rchandise would keep on ringing out.
Young masters would wear light robes and jade headgear, while the young ladies would be dressed up prettily.
The scholars recited poems and composed poems in an advanced and elegant manner.
The scene would be very lively.
Gu Nuo’er was wearing a bright embroidered dress today. Under the sunlight, the robe revealed a burning color.
Ye Siming, who was walking beside her, was wearing a red robe and his pair of cold eyebrows under a golden headgear made him look extrely handso.
They ca to the riverside with Jiang Xiaoran and Xie Yinxiang.
At this mont, the river was surrounded by people and laughter could be heard everywhere..
