His exclamation was heard by Noble Consort Qiao and Gu Yihan in the Qiushui

Palace.

The two of them ran out.

“Nuo’er!”

Gu Yihan was the first to carry the child into his arms.

Gu Nuo’er stretched sleepily.

Then, she didn’t have any intention of waking up. Instead, she curled up a little more and fell asleep in her father’s arms.

Noble Consort Qiao’s beautiful eyes were red from crying and she quickly said,

“Your Majesty, let’s bring her into the palace to let her sleep.”

Seeing the two of them entering the palace in a hurry, Ye Siming didn’t move and was still standing on the spot.

Not long later, Gu Yihan walked out.

He looked at Ye Siming with a dark expression.

“Marquis Yongye, what’s going on?! You disappeared without a word, and now even the princess is doing this. Have you led her astray?”

Ye Siming was born proud and had never lowered his head to any matter.

However, at this moment, he only lowered his head slightly.

He took all the blame onto himself.

“Your Majesty, please don’t vent your anger on the princess. I was willful and reckless in this matter. I lost my way in the forest. Her Highness sneaked out of the city to look for me last night and almost got injured. Fortunately, the two of us met in time and there were some delays when we tried to rush back.”

After saying that, he cupped his hands. “Your Majesty, please punish me.”

For Gu Nuo’er, his attitude could be said to be unprecedentedly respectful.

Gu Yihan wasn’t used to it.

He was originally furious, but his anger was suddenly extinguished by Ye Siming’s words.

It was really because Marquis Yongye had always been arrogant and unrestrained, and his martial arts were powerful. This was the first time he had seen him so reasonable.

He was really not used to it!

Gu Yihan had his hands behind his back and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, he frowned and asked, “Did you really get lost in the forest?”

“Yes.” Ye Siming lowered his eyebrows and didn’t move. His voice was calm.

Gu Yihan narrowed his eyes and sized up the youth in front of him.

For some reason, after not seeing him for a few days, he felt that Ye Siming’s eyes had become even sharper and colder.

“Marquis Yongye, could it be that you’re dissatisfied because the official position I gave you is too low and want to go to another country to look for another higher position?”

Gu Yihan thought about it and could only find this reason.

After all, he didn’t believe that Ye Siming had lost his way.

It was Ye Siming’s fault for being so skilled in martial arts. He could recognize the terrain in the hunting ground so well, as if he was back at home, even though he had never been to the hunting ground before.

Gu Yihan was afraid that such a powerful person actually felt that his current position was too low and he couldn’t show off his skills. Ye Siming didn’t expect the emperor to say this.

He was stunned. “What?”

Gu Yihan walked forward and patted his shoulder as if they were good brothers.

“I know that you’ve led troops to make meritorious contributions this time and indeed have to be promoted to a noble. But I’m afraid the princess won’t be able to bear to let me send you elsewhere!”

Ye Siming raised his cold eyes, his gaze seeming to be mixed with a little confusion.

Gu Yihan smiled. “Alright, how about this? I’ll give you more actual power.

“I see that you’re leading the troops well. Why don’t I give you another 10,000 elite soldiers?

“In the future, the title ‘Marquis Yongye’ will not just be a mere title, but you will also be a marquis that everyone in the Great Qi has to respect.” Ye Siming frowned. “Then can I continue to take care of the princess?”

“Taking good care of the princess is naturally your first priority.”

Ye Siming immediately nodded. “Alright, I agree.”

Only then did Gu Yihan wave his hand. “You can leave. Go back and see Bai Yi. He’s been very anxious since you disappeared.”

“Yes.”

After Ye Siming left, Gu Yihan returned to the Qiushui Palace.

However, he realized something a little late.

Strange, why did it seem that in Ye Siming’s eyes, even such heavy military power couldn’t compare to his daughter?
