376 He and I Can Be considered Old Enemies
The child turned around and stuck out her butt to rummage through the box. đŻđđŽâŻđ¸âŻđŁđâ´đˇâŻđľ.đ¤đđ
After a long time, she finally found a black eyebrow brush that she had plundered from Elder Sister Wanyin before she went out today!
Gu Nuoâer drew a mustache above her lips based on her intuition.
Then, she fluttered her long eyelashes, her big eyes sparkling.
âFifth Brother, how is it? Do I look a lot more mature now?â
Gu Zichen looked at his sisterâs kitten-like face and couldnât help but clap and laugh. âNuoâer, your current outfit is really⌠pulling wool over peopleâs eyes and is unparalleled.â
The child raised her head proudly. âOf course.â
The carriage drove to the lake and stopped.
It was summer and the scenery at Dingshan Lake was beautiful. The water was glistening and the mountain looked magnificent under the bright sun.
Gu Zichen got out of the carriage and turned around, wanting to pick Gu Nuoâer up.
Unexpectedly, the child reached out a small hand and slapped his palm.
Gu Nuoâer lowered her voice, her fair face filled with seriousness. âFifth Brother! Watch your attitude! Weâre now a prince and his attendant. How can a prince be helping his attendant off the carriage?!â
Gu Zichen was amused by her adult-like tone.
âIâm just an unloved prince. These officials might not take me seriously. So what if I were to treat an attendant better?â
After saying that, he carried the child and brought her down from the carriage.
The sweet milk smell on Gu Nuoâerâs body was quite strong.
Gu Zichen felt that his sisterâs disguise would definitely not escape everyoneâs eyes.
However, since she was his sister, he was happy to put on a good show with her.
Gu Nuoâer stood on the ground with her small feet and widened her watery eyes. âFifth Brother, you, you, you! Hmph, you arenât allowed to do this next time!â
She blew at her fake beard and then imitated the way the teachers of the academy walked. She deliberately swayed her small body and walked forward.
When Gu Zichen saw this, he smiled.
His sister was the cutest girl he had ever seen.
Gu Zichen and Gu Nuoâer walked towards the lake.
At this moment, there were already a few pleasure boats on the water beside the willows by the shore of Dingshan Lake.
The pleasure boats were elegantly built. A faint pink gauze fluttered in the wind, revealing the boatsâ elegance and gentleness in the reflection of the lake.
However, the afternoon sun was a little scorching.
Gu Nuoâerâs small face had already turned red from the sunlight.
On her fair and tender skin, a pair of cute red glow hung above her cheeks, making her eyes look even darker and more lively.
Gu Nuoâer covered her eyes with her small hand and looked at one of the pleasure boats.
There were already two to three people standing at the bow chatting. At the side, there was also a performer playing the zither.
She recognized the Minister of Works, Hang Tongfu, standing among the crowd at a glance.
The child pointed in their direction and whispered to Gu Zichen, âFifth Brother, do you see that uncle in the brown robe? Heâs the person who is in charge of procuring fabric for the palace! His name isâŚâ
âWang Fu? I know him.â Before Gu Nuoâer could finish introducing him, Gu Zichen interrupted.
âEh? Fifth Brother knows him?â
Gu Zichen smiled profoundly, his gaze unfathomable. âWe donât just know each other. He and I can be considered old enemies.
âSister probably doesnât know this, but three years ago, I also thought of the method you mentioned. I wanted to get to know this Lord Wang so that I could develop my influence through the palaceâs procurement team.
âUnfortunately, Lord Wang only gave me two words.â
Gu Nuoâer sensed that something was wrong and asked, âWhat is it?â
âWishful thinking.â Gu Zichen sneered.
When the child heard this, her eyes widened.
This was bad. According to her fifth brotherâs personality, wouldnât he take the opportunity to take revenge this time?
Would he obediently try again to get to know this official who had humiliated him before?
