Noble Consort Qiao was about to retract her hand and apologize again.
However, Gu Yihan held onto it very tightly this time.
He got Chunshou to bring the palace maids and eunuchs to stand further away.
A pair of deep eyes looked at Noble Consort Qiao.
He said something unexpected.
“The last time I heard Nuo’er miss her, I suddenly felt that she had already passed away for many years and had even forgotten her voice, smile, and appearance completely.
“I’m in a good mood today, so I don’t blame you for mentioning her. Noble Consort, do you still remember her? Tell me about her.”

Noble Consort Qiao said, “Of course I remember. When I was five years old,
Mother brought me into the palace and kowtowed to the late Empress.”
Gu Yihan suddenly laughed heartily. “I remember this too. At that time, I was learning archery.
“When you and Madam Qiao came out of the Fengyi Palace and passed by the training ground, I saw beautiful pearls hanging from your robe. I became playful and shot an arrow at you.”
The more he spoke, the more he laughed. “Noble Consort, you were really timid back then. My arrow nailed your dress, and you were so frightened that you fell to the ground. Later on, you even cried.”
At the mention of her predicament back then, Noble Consort Qiao couldn’t help but pout her red lips, a hint of resentment rising in her beautiful eyes.
“The dress that Your Majesty destroyed was one of your consort’s favorite dresses.”
Gu Yihan laughed heartily. “Later on, I was reprimanded by Mother and gave you a lot of expensive fabrics. Only then was your anger dissipated.”
A breeze blew over and the two of them held hands tightly.
Noble Consort Qiao’s dress swayed slightly. When she thought of the past, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Later on, the late Empress even called your consort into the palace to teach your consort how to bully you back. She asked your consort to add salt to the tea Your Majesty had to drink every day after class.
“There were a few times when Your Majesty didn’t know anything and was deceived. You spat out the water after taking a sip. Your consort hid in the dark
and saw this and laughed happily.”
In the end, Noble Consort Qiao lowered her head and sighed quietly.
“The late Empress was sensible and didn’t side with you at all just because Your Majesty is her child. When your consort was young, your consort admired her the most.
“When your consort was young, your consort’s father was very strict and always asked me to learn all types of martial arts. If your consort was accidentally injured, your consort wasn’t allowed to cry.
“At that time, what your consort looked forward to the most was for the late Empress to call your consort into the palace to stay for a few days. Your consort would always be able to get some peace when your consort was with her.
“Not only did she not force your consort to learn martial arts, but she also taught your consort how to read and write. She taught your consort that women don’t have to be weak at all times. When they’re strong, they’re not inferior to men.
Gu Yihan’s eyes were deep as he looked at the lake in a daze.

Noble Consort Qiao couldn’t help but laugh dryly. “At that time, your consort was still insensible and kept feeling that men could become soldiers and protect their country. Why can’t your consort do the same?”
Gu Yihan looked at her steadily. “After you entered the palace, did you blame me for the matter relating to the late Empress?”
“Your consort didn’t.”
“Liar.” Gu Yihan sneered. “You told your maidservant that you wouldn’t be my consort even if you died because back then, I didn’t stand up and express my trust in my mother. I was even adopted under Grand Consort Yu’s name.”
Noble Consort Qiao’s eyes widened. “Which maidservant betrayed your consort?”
Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows faintly. Only then did Noble Consort Qiao realize that he had tricked her.
She bit her lip and lowered her head. “The hatred was only for a while.”
Gu Yihan only smiled but didn’t say anything.
It took him a long time to pick up a green leaf that had been blown down by the wind.
“Do you still remember a tune that the late Empress taught us?”
