Chapter 157 Extra Chapter 2: Back to Childhood (Part 1)
When Gu Qinghan woke up, she was a little confused about the current situation.
She had just celebrated her birthday with Ye Muyan at Anshan Temple. The abbot gave her a string of beads and smiled, wishing her peace, happiness, and no regrets.
The prayer beads were smooth and round, emitting a faint sandalwood fragrance, which made her feel a little sleepy.
Ye Muyan carried her to a resting place in the temple so she could take a nap.
Shouldn't she be in Ye Muyan's arms? How come...
Huh?
This is…
Parents' room!
She looked down and saw the crib, its small, round body, and its soft little hands.
She looked at her hands, which were as tender as lotus roots, and squeezed them twice, causing the soft flesh on her hands to bulge out.
Is this a dream?
"Huh?"
A child's innocent voice rang out, and Song Zhiyi, who had just entered, smiled.
Gu Qinghan's round eyes lit up when she saw her young mother, and a sweet smile spread across her rosy cheeks: "Mommy~"
Song Zhiyi picked her up and weighed her in her arms: "Has Nannan gotten a little chubby? She feels heavier now."
Gu Qinghan was a little embarrassed and buried her head in Song Zhiyi's arms.
She said sullenly, "I'm just a little kid."
Gu Tingkang, who had just walked in, burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Does our little girl know she's a child?"
Then he coughed and said, "Nannan has grown up. How can a child this big be carried by her mother all the time? Come down quickly."
Gu Qinghan pretended not to hear her father's inner thoughts and twisted her body to get down.
Song Zhiyi patted her head: "We're going to the palace today, which dress would you like to wear, Nannan?"
Gu Qinghan looked up in surprise. Today, she would be able to see Ye Muyan when she entered the palace.
Her small hands clenched into fists. Even though it was a dream, she was able to do it all over again. Ye Muyan would never suffer again!
She remembered that by this time, she had already become familiar with Ye Zeming, and if she went to see him again today, Ye Muyan should also be there.
Gu Qinghan walked to Gu Tingkang's side. She was so small that she didn't even reach his leg. With a serious little face, she made a deal with her father: "Father, can you promise me something?"
Her innocent little face made a serious expression, which was really cute. Gu Tingkang teased her on purpose: "Tell me, I'll think about it."
“First,” Gu Qinghan held up a chubby index finger, “I want to find the Fourth Prince’s mother.”
Gu Tingkang and Song Zhiyi exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised: "Nannan..."
"Because of the Fourth Prince... he, he saved me! The First Prince wanted to hit me, but it was the Fourth Prince who saved me." Gu Qinghan pouted, lying with a clear conscience.
However, it's not exactly a lie; it really happened.
Who told Ye Junyi to be the ugliest?
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingkang immediately reached for his sword, his eyebrows raised, and he said in a gruff voice, "The eldest prince, is that it? Your father will avenge you!"
Song Zhiyi frowned, her face cold: "Don't be afraid, Nannan. Even if it's the First Prince, he can't harm you in the slightest!"
Although Gu Qinghan was touched, the topic had completely veered off course.
She quickly raised her hand: "Father, Mother, the Fourth Prince has already helped me, that's why I want to find his mother!"
She sat down and told her parents in detail about Nan Sang's current situation. When her parents asked her how she knew, she said that the Fourth Prince had mentioned it.
Gu Tingkang hesitated, as he had always been reluctant to get involved in the dirty affairs of the palace.
Although I admire the Fourth Prince, but...
Gu Qinghan noticed her father's hesitation and whispered in his ear, "If you promise me, I will sleep alone from now on."
She now sleeps in the same room as her parents, and Song Zhiyi has set up a small bed for her.
Her father had always wanted to dismantle the bed.
If it weren't for the fear of upsetting Song Zhiyi, Gu Qinghan would have been sent to her own room long ago.
"Great!" Gu Tingkang laughed and immediately agreed to Gu Qinghan's request.
Gu Qinghan narrowed her eyes. Why did she feel that her father was deliberately hesitating for her sake?
*
The Imperial Palace.
At the palace banquet, Gu Qinghan only ate a bite or two of rice before rushing out.
Song Zhiyi complied and gently instructed, "Take Rong Ming with you. If anyone tries to bully you, have Rong Ming beat them up."
Gu Qinghan nodded obediently, kissed Song Zhiyi's cheek, and ran away.
As she ran, she looked back and saw Gu Tingkang wiping Song Zhiyi's cheek with a handkerchief.
Good father.
Rong Ming followed her closely this time, and when they arrived at the courtyard, he stood at the door as usual.
"Rong Ming, wait for me here."
Rong Ming had grown much stronger than his peers by this time. He nodded upon hearing this and looked around warily.
Gu Qinghan went in and saw Ye Zeming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at her with a slight smile.
"Han'er"
She said irritably, "Don't call me."
In his previous life, Ye Zeming realized his mistake and secretly sent a message to Ye Muyan. In the end, he left the palace and reunited with Xiao's father.
However, Gu Qinghan still remembered what he had done to Ye Muyan, so she naturally didn't give him a friendly look at the moment.
Ye Zeming found it strange; Gu Qinghan seemed to have started to dislike him.
He glanced subtly at the corner, then continued smiling, "Han'er, you today..."
Gu Qinghan completely ignored his words.
She saw the corner, but it wouldn't be appropriate to pull Ye Muyan out at this moment.
Gu Qinghan had an idea. She raised the corners of her lips and jogged a few steps toward the stone not far away.
"Ah!" Gu Qinghan lunged forward uncontrollably, her eyes tightly shut.
I hope it doesn't hurt too much.
Suddenly, her body was lifted into the air and carried away.
A pair of strong arms caught her steadily and pulled her into their embrace.
Gu Qinghan smelled the familiar cool fragrance and opened her eyes.
The handsome young man had distinct features and was already showing signs of imperial aura. His deep eyes were filled with worry. When he saw Gu Qinghan open her eyes, he pursed his lips and his body stiffened uncontrollably.
Gu Qinghan looked at the boy in front of her, slightly opened her mouth, and suddenly her lips were a little wet.
Xiao Ye Muyan is so handsome...
Ye Muyan noticed that the adorable little dumpling in his arms was drooling as it looked at him.
