Chapter 77: Elder Brother Siming Came to the Rescue
On the surface, A’Yun agreed, but in her heart, she thought to herself, who would be willing to become sisters with a quack like Mu Shuzhen?
She was also certain that the empress would not ask the patrolling guards nearby. So what if they saw that it was A’Yun who had pushed Mu Shuzhen down?
Mu Shuzhen was really timid and wouldn’t dare to say anything.
At this moment, Mu Shuzhen was kneeling at the bottom of the steps. The cold wind blew and she held the broken bangle, feeling extremely sad.
This was the empress’s kindness to her. It was all her fault for being useless and allowing it to be damaged by A’Yun.
Mu Shuzhen’s eyes turned red and she sniffed.
At this moment, for some reason, the little princess’s voice sounded in her ears again.
“Don’t you want to be valued by everyone?”
Mu Shuzhen was stunned. She held the broken bangle in her hand and knelt on the ground, thinking for a long time. After a long while, she staggered up and left.
…
The next day, Gu Nuo’er woke up to see snow falling outside the window.
The child was extremely excited. “Snowflake~”
She was about to run out when Wanxuan grabbed her.
“Princess, we can’t run out wearing so little. Be careful not to get sick!”
Noble Consort Qiao was hugging a heater at the side. She was the most afraid of the cold and had another charcoal basin beside her.

There was a hint of sleepiness in her phoenix eyes. “Put on more clothes on Nuo’er today. Don’t let her catch a cold.”
Wanxuan responded. Then, ignoring Nuo’er’s protests, she put on three layers of clothes for her.
When she walked, she swayed because she had too many clothes and it was inconvenient for her to move.
She looked like a walking little white bun.
Gu Nuo’er’s childish voice was filled with dissatisfaction. “Mother! Baby Nuo is so tired from wearing all these!”
Noble Consort Qiao tightened her grip on the heater. “How can that be? Nuo’er, you mustn’t hanker for the cold. If you get sick, it’ll be too late for regrets.”
Even though she was already wearing a thick fox fur cloak, she still felt cold.
On the other hand, Noble Consort Qiao felt that Gu Nuo’er was wearing too little even though she looked like she was bulging from all the clothes.
“Baby Nuo, why don’t we add another cloak?”
The hall’s ground heating system made the place as warm as spring. Gu Nuo’er already felt hot.
When she heard that her mother wanted to add more clothing to her…
Gu Nuo’er hurriedly ran out. “I’m not cold, not cold. I’m not cold at all!”
The child lowered her head and bumped into someone’s arms.
This embrace was bone-chilling as if the person had just been scooped out of ice water.
Wanyin’s surprised voice sounded from the side. “Princess, are you alright? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Gu Nuo’er looked up, and some snow from that person got onto the tip of her nose.
She blinked her watery eyes and met a pair of cold and dangerous eyes.
“Elder Brother Siming! Why are you here?” Gu Nuo’er recognized the person and called out obediently.
Today, Ye Siming was wearing white clothes with a high collar and a golden headgear, making him look even more youthful.
He lowered his eyes, looking like he had a shadow of a smile, but also as if he was gritting his teeth…
“Didn’t the princess want me to enter the palace every five days?”
How dare she forget?
Gu Nuo’er was enlightened and patted her head. “Oh, right!”
She looked at Ye Siming with sparkling eyes and grabbed his slender fingertips.
Gu Nuo’er turned her head and shouted into the room, “Mother, Elder Brother Siming is here. I want him to go play with me!”
Noble Consort Qiao’s voice of objection sounded. “It’s snowing heavily now. It’s not suitable for you to go anywhere. You can play in the hall!”
“No, I have to bring Elder Brother Siming to the lion and tiger garden to see my little meow meow!”
As she spoke, the child dragged Ye Siming and ran into the snow.
