Gu Nuo’er held Ye Siming’s fingertips tightly.

The child’s attitude was so firm.

“Elder Brother Siming, don’t take Linzhou’s words to heart.”

Gu Nuo’er comforted her in a soft voice, “You’re my best friend. You can call me whatever you want!”

She looked back, her watery eyes filled with sincerity and kindness to him.

Ye Siming’s eyes were filled with the hostility that Yun Linzhou had caused just now.

However, when he saw Gu Nuo’er, the anger in his eyes dissipated.

It turned into a faint coldness.

The youth was still a little displeased. He said awkwardly, “Then is he considered your friend?”

“Oh, he used to,” Gu Nuo’er replied without thinking.

She blinked her long eyelashes. “Friends should be honest with each other. Linzhou isn’t honest at all.

“He told a bunch of lies just now and I couldn’t be bothered to expose him.

After all, my main goal in coming to the Xili Empire isn’t for him.”

“As long as he doesn’t come and affect me, whatever kind of person he becomes has nothing to do with me.”

When Ye Siming heard this, he looked at Gu Nuo’er’s side profile.

The gentle moonlight covered her delicate and cute face, revealing an even more obedient pinkness under her skin.

The youth’s heart was filled with tenderness.

This was because just now, Gu Nuo’er didn’t hesitate and firmly chose to stand in front of him.

Even though her body was so petite, she still wanted to protect him.

The dissatisfaction from being neglected just now, the displeasure from being suspected to be jealousy, and all sorts of other displeasure he felt..

At this moment, all of them had been appeased by her.

Ye Siming couldn’t help but move his thin lips. When no one saw him, he smiled brightly like a cheerful youth.

When the banquet was about to start, Ling Tianyin and Empress Zhong finally arrived.

Ling Tianyin symbolically spoke a few words to thank Wei Cang for his hard work.

Wei Cang’s expression was solemn from beginning to end and his attitude was respectful.

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell.

There was a rift between Governor Wei and His Majesty.

After all, Wei Cang had helped Ling Tianyin make a long trip to Great Qi and brushed past danger.

The moment he returned to the Xili Empire, he was locked up in prison by Ling

Tianyin.

Anyone would find this a little unacceptable.

Ling Tianyin naturally knew that he had been rash previously.

Therefore, he promoted Wei Cang’s official rank in public.

Wei Cang appeared even calmer about this honor.

He cupped his hands and thanked her. Other than that, there was no longer any joy on his face.

When Ling Tianyin saw this, he couldn’t help but frown, a hint of anger rising in his eyes.

He felt that he had already given Wei Cang a way out.

However, why did Wei Cang still have this attitude?

Was he really going to let an emperor apologize to him?

Just as Ling Tianyin was about to flare up…

From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a child gesturing to him from

Consort Lu’s table.

Ling Tianyin looked over.

Gu Nuo’er placed her two small hands by her lips and tilted her head slightly, her watery eyes sparkling.

She mouthed silently.

‘Smile’

Ling Tianyin was stunned.

Was this child asking him to smile?!

Ling Tianyin looked away with a cold expression.

He didn’t want to listen to a child.

However, for some reason, he couldn’t help but glance at Gu Nuo’er from the corner of his eye.

The child placed her two small hands under her chin and made a flower-like posture.

Gu Nuo’er blinked her lively eyes. Her face was fair and delicate.

She emphasized silently again: Smile!

The corners of Ling Tianyin’s mouth twitched.

Suddenly, everyone saw the emperor, who had been sitting at the head of the table with a cold expression as if someone owed him a million gold, revealed a rare smile.

His Majesty actually smiled right on the verge of flaring up.

This frightened the nobles and officials sitting below!
