The Tyrant Father's Pampered Daughter

566 It’s Time to Take Out the “Main Event” Her Highness Mentioned!

Grand Preceptor Du sat at the main seat with the Grace Defender Duke, Gu Nuo’er, Gu Zixiao, and Ye Siming.

During the banquet, Gu Nuo’er was sandwiched between the two grandfathers.

They competed in adding more food to her bowl.

It was until the dishes in the bowl were piled up to the height of a small mountain.

The Grace Defender Duke glared and felt a little dissatisfied. “Old Du, this is my granddaughter. It’s only right for me to take care of her while she eats. What are you doing?”

Grand Preceptor Du was not convinced at all. “The Empress is my daughter and can be considered a half-mother to sweetheart. Then why can’t I feed her?!”

The two old men often bickered. They may have a good relationship, but they always quarrel when they meet.

Gu Nuo’er was sandwiched in the middle. She looked up and said softly, “Grand Preceptor grandpa, Grandpa~ Don’t fight anymore. I’ll eat everything!”

After saying that, the child lowered her head and held onto the side of the bowl with her small hand. She held two chopsticks and obediently ate the food herself.

She chewed and swallowed slowly, her chubby face puffing up and looking very cute.

Ye Siming watched from the opposite side, unable to take his eyes off her. He couldn’t help but purse his thin lips into a smile.

After Gu Nuo’er finished the bowl of food, the two elders were very happy and even wanted to scoop more chicken soup for her to drink.

Gu Zixiao couldn’t help but press down Grand Preceptor Du and the Grace Defender Duke.

“Sister is still young and can’t eat so much.”

As he spoke, he quickly carried Gu Nuo’er to sit beside him.

Old people just liked to feed children. It was as if they felt that the children weren’t like a ball, they would think that they weren’t full.

Gu Nuo’er burped and touched her stomach. “I really can’t eat anymore!”

Only then did Grand Preceptor Du and the Grace Defender Duke give up.

Gu Zixiao wiped his sister’s mouth. Coincidentally, Ye Siming handed over a cup of fruit water and the child held it with both hands to drink it.

At this moment, Gu Zixiao looked up and saw the girl in red looking at him in fear.

When she sensed that Gu Zixiao had unintentionally looked over, she quickly lowered her head like a frightened cat.

Gu Zixiao frowned.

Which family’s young miss was she?

Gu Nuo’er sensed the change in her brother’s expression and asked softly, “What’s wrong, Eldest Brother?”

Gu Zixiao lowered his eyes and looked at his sister, smiling helplessly. “I’m fine. It’s just that what Nuo’er said is indeed right. I really do have a love tribulation.”

Otherwise, why would he be misunderstood as a p*vert who wanted to do something bad just because he was looking for Gu Nuo’er?

Fortunately, Gu Zixiao had already restrained his temper a lot after experiencing the training at the borders.

Moreover, Gu Zixiao was the most upright and calm among the princes.

If that girl had offended another prince, she would probably be pursued for her actions to the end.

When Gu Nuo’er heard this, she blinked and didn’t say anything.

After a while, Grand Preceptor Du saw that everyone was almost done eating.

It was time to bring out the “main event” that Her Highness had mentioned!

He stood up and said to the guests present, “Last night, Immortal Humeng came to congratulate me, saying that today is my birthday and that someone will give me a pearl. It’s an auspicious omen. In that case, I must take it out and share the auspicious omen with everyone present.”

After Grand Preceptor Du finished speaking, the servants entered with countless congratulatory gifts.

“If we can find this pearl, in the next month, I’ll treat this esteemed guest as an honored guest. We can share exchanges of our knowledge and read ancient books together.”

After he said this, the officials present were a little excited.

Grand Preceptor Du had been in the officialdom for many years and was already very familiar with the way of being an official.

Not only that, but before he went into seclusion, he got along very well with His Majesty Gu Yihan.

Gu Yihan had lost his temper with many old officials, but he had never scolded Grand Preceptor Du and the Grace Defender Duke.

If they could obtain Grand Preceptor Du’s guidance, their future would be limitless!

At this moment, some of the guests who didn’t prepare pearls as gifts were already feeling a little regretful!
