The Tyrant Father's Pampered Daughter Chapter 552 - 552 Grand Preceptor Du's Birthday

Chapter 552 - 552 Grand Preceptor Du's Birthday

552 Grand Preceptor Du’s Birthday

Time pa.s.sed and it was nearing mid-autumn.

Beside the swaying imperial carriage, two personal guards were riding horses with dignity. When the commoners saw this, they hurriedly made way for the carriage.

After the carriage pa.s.sed by, the commoners couldn’t help but stop and discuss—

“This is that prince’s carriage. It looks really imposing.”

“From the looks of it, this carriage is probably headed for the Grand Preceptor Du’s manor. This is probably the first prince!”

“I see. I heard that it’s Grand Preceptor Du’s 60th birthday today. The Grand Preceptor’s manor was opened to give out a lot of food to the poor for free, acc.u.mulating good karma for the Grand Preceptor.”

The person in the carriage was the first prince, Gu Zixiao.

At the same time… there was also Great Qi’s only princess, Gu Nuo’er.

The child was wearing a beautiful and festive red dress today. As the autumn weather was gradually turning cold, n.o.ble Consort Qiao even wrapped a layer of rabbit fur around her neck.

Gu Nuo’er’s soft black hair was tied into two buns with two golden ta.s.sels hanging from them.

Her fair face was delicate and filled with joy.

Seeing that his sister was so happy, Gu Zixiao couldn’t help but smile. “Nuo’er, it’s been hard on you to have to accompany me today.”

“It’s not hard!” Gu Nuo’er smiled and spread her pink lips. “Elder Brother, don’t be afraid. With Baby Nuo around today, I guarantee that those bad women won’t be able to get close to you!”

When the first prince heard this, his expression paused and he coughed awkwardly.

That’s right. He had taken the initiative to invite Gu Nuo’er to attend his maternal grandfather’s birthday celebration with him.

It was precisely because he trusted his sister’s words that he’d be involved in love tribulations that Gu Zixiao had to be wary of the many people his maternal grandfather had invited for his birthday recently.

For some reason, Gu Zixiao felt that if his sister was around, things wouldn’t have developed in a bad direction.

Moreover, he hadn’t been alone with his sister for a long time.

As the eldest brother, although he liked Gu Nuo’er a lot, it wasn’t good for him to s.n.a.t.c.h her from his younger brothers.

Apart from going to school, Gu Nuo’er was usually picked up by the second prince to go shopping.

Or the third prince would bring her to see the newly cultivated medicinal flowers.

Usually, the fifth prince would often bring the child to the Ministry of Works.

Occasionally, when Gu Nuo’er had time, she would either accompany her other older brothers or be taken away by Marquis Yongye!

Gu Zixiao cherished the opportunity to be alone with his sister.

He decided to be an extremely considerate older brother today and let his sister know that compared to her other brothers, he was the most reliable.

Gu Nuo’er was holding a brocade box made of black iron with auspicious clouds outlined in gold paint.

The child fluttered her long eyelashes and her eyes was watery. “Elder Brother, do you think Grand Preceptor grandpa will like the gift Mother and I prepared for him?”

Gu Zixiao smiled heartily. “Of course. Grandfather likes you the most. Come, Nuo’er, we’ve arrived. Brother will carry you out of the carriage.”

Gu Nuo’er immediately reached out her small hands obediently and wrapped her arms around her brother’s neck.

As soon as the first prince’s carriage arrived, the butler standing at the entrance of the Grand Preceptor Manor quickly went down the steps to welcome them.

“This servant pays respects to Your Highness.” The butler turned and saw that the first prince was still carrying the adorable Gu Nuo’er in his arms. He then said, “Greetings, Princess Yaoguang.”

Gu Zixiao’s handsome eyes were filled with righteousness.

He nodded and handed the gift box to the butler. “Mother hasn’t fully recovered yet and can’t come personally, so she asked me to bring a gift with me. I wish Grandfather great longevity.”

The butler smiled happily and received the box. “Princess, do you need this servant to bring the gift on your behalf as well?”

Gu Nuo’er hugged the small box tightly and shook her head. “I want to give it to Grand Preceptor grandpa myself later~”
