Gu Nuoer pondered.

How could they express motherly love in Empress Chis eyes?

One had to know that the gaze was a feeling. It would be a little difficult to show it through a painting.

Ye Siming, who was standing at the side with his arms crossed and observing quietly, suddenly said, Perhaps we can modify the former Empresss posture and make her lower her head and look beside her with a smile?

Gu Nuoers eyes lit up. Elder Brother Siming is right!

Mothers loved their children. As long as the child was by their side, their gazes would follow the child.

The official quickly made amendments according to Her Highnesss instructions.

Not long later, the former Empress with her head lowered and a gentle smile gradually became complete.

Gu Nuoer pointed with her small hand. I think Imperial Grandmother still lacks something in her hand.

The officials from the Secretary Office gathered together, feeling a little puzzled.

Your Highness, do you mean that it is lacking a jade ruyi? Or prayer beads?

Gu Nuoer shook her head. Neither. Its missing a rattle drum!

The officials were stunned.

The child explained softly, Since Imperial Grandmother is accompanying her child, although she has a dignified bearing, how can she not have a toy in her hands?!

The officials from the Secretary Office came to a realization.

This way, the scene of the late empress accompanying His Majesty to play seemed even more realistic!

One of the officials suddenly said, When this subject first entered the

Secretary Office, I heard my teacher say something interesting.

Back then, His Majesty was still young and the late emperor and the late empress were arguing over trivial matters. His Majesty was young and didnt understand the reason, but he held his small wooden sword and protected the late empress, preventing the late emperor from losing his temper at his mother.

After the official finished speaking, he quickly added carefully, This is all what this subjects teacher said. It was from too long ago and theres no evidence of

it.

After all, this was an interesting matter between the late emperor and the late empress. To say it out loud would make one have the suspicion of gossiping about the imperial family.

However, Gu Nuoer wasnt angry. Instead, she smiled cutely. Then change the rattle drum to a small wooden sword!

After all, this was a gift for her father. She had to be careful with every detail.

Soon, under Gu Nuoers request, the first empress, Madam Chi, lowered her head and smiled, her eyes filled with love.

There was a blank soace beside her. The officials continued with a few more strokes and added the appearance of a three to four-year-old child.

It was the young Gu Yihan.

He was wearing a small brocade robe and thick cloud boots, his small face looking mighty.

He raised his small fist while the former Empress, Madam Chi, held his small wooden sword in her hand.

Gu Nuoer looked at the drawing and praised them repeatedly. Its been hard on you, uncles. This is exactly what I want! Ill fill in the remaining colors myself.

The officials from the Secretary Office bowed and cupped their hands. Your Highness is too kind.

The child blinked her watery eyes and said with a lively expression, However, you guys have to keep it a secret for me. I want to give Father a surprise when the time comes.

The few of them quickly replied, Yes.

After they left, Gu Nuoer climbed onto a stool. Elder Brother Siming, lets start!

She took a brush dipped in ink and handed it to him. Youll be in charge of painting black hair and eyes. This isnt difficult!

Ye Siming raised his eyebrows and took the brush. He immediately leaned over and started working.

Gu Nuoer was afraid that he would make mistakes. If that happened, the entire painting would have to be redone again.

However, Ye Simings wrist moved quickly and steadily.

Not long later, the late empress and the young emperors black hair and black eyes had been completed.

Gu Nuoer opened her pink lips.. Elder Brother Siming, do you know how to draw? How can you move so quickly without making any mistakes?
