The palace servants led Gu Rao and Gu Xinghan to the last table and sat down.
Gu Rao lowered her head the entire time.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Gu Yihan brought the Empress and Noble Consort Qiao in. Everyone quickly stood up and bowed.
However, Gu Yihan first looked at his daughter. The child was flushed with joy and her face was round, fair, and delicate.
He first strode towards Gu Nuo’er and carried the child in his arms. Then, he turned around and waved at everyone with a smile. “There’s no need to stand on ceremony. Everyone, take a seat.”
“Today is my birthday banquet, and it can also be a family banquet. You guys can drink and chat to your heart’s content!”
“Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!” After the cheers, everyone took their seats.
Gu Yihan teased everyone, “Just don’t get drunk. There’s a peach forest behind Taiqing Palace. It’s blooming brightly and beautifully now. After getting some drinks, you guys can go take a walk together.”
Everyone thanked him again.
Only then did Gu Nuo’er raise the wine cup she had prepared long ago.
The palace servants didn’t dare to serve the little princess wine and could only pour the brewed fruit tea for her.
“Father, Baby Nuo toasts you. I wish my father happiness every day, have boundless territories and a very long life!”
Gu Yihan’s eyebrows were filled with joy. He immediately bent down and picked up the wine pot.
“Alright! Father likes Nuo’er’s blessing. I’ll drink this pot of wine!”
After saying that, he generously pushed open the lid of the wine with his thumb and finished the pot of wine.
Everyone sitting below immediately clapped and cheered.
Noble Consort Qiao couldn’t help but go forward and persuade him, “Your Majesty, it’s better to drink slowly. In a while, the officials and princes will definitely take turns to toast you. Your health is more important.”
Gu Yihan glanced sideways at Noble Consort Qiao and let out a heavy snort. “Hmph!”
He stopped looking at Noble Consort Qiao and placed Gu Nuo’er on her dragon and phoenix seat before sitting on the dragon throne.
Noble Consort Qiao frowned helplessly. Empress Du gave her a comforting look.
Not long after the banquet started, the officials took turns toasting.
The wine used for this banquet seemed to have been brewed with high-quality grapes last year.
It was really extremely sweet!
Gu Nuo’er had no resistance to such a fragrance.
There were a few times when she licked her pink lips and looked up at her father drinking one cup after another.
The official uncles also drank until their faces were flushed.
Woo… She wants to drink too…
Gu Nuo’er subconsciously looked in Ye Siming’s direction.
He was drinking and chatting happily with Old Master Qiao.
It seemed that Elder Brother Siming was busy and didn’t have time to care about her!
The child immediately looked at her brothers.
There were only four to five tables occupied by the princes in the palace.
Oh, if she wanted to trick her brother into giving her wine, she had to find someone who was more foolish.
The child’s gaze landed on her second and eighth brothers.
Who should she choose?
Unexpectedly, her gaze met the first prince, Gu Zixiao’s.
Gu Zixiao was indeed someone who had been training at the border for a few years. He sat there like a heavy blade with a faint coldness.
However, when he saw Gu Nuo’er, he smiled. His sharp eyebrows and starry eyes were filled with gentleness.
Gu Zixiao waved at Gu Nuo’er.
The child immediately jumped off the chair and ran towards the first prince.
“Brother!” Gu Nuo’er pounced into his arms and called out sweetly.
Her big watery eyes blinked, sparkling.
Gu Zixiao’s smile immediately deepened. “Nuo’er, are you full? Should Brother feed you more?”
The second prince was unhappy.. “Eldest Brother, let me carry her too!”
