Gu Nuo’er pondered.
How could they express motherly love in Empress Chi’s 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 Empress’s posture and make her lower her head and look beside her with a smile?”
Gu Nuo’er’s 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 ording to Her Highness’s instructions.
Not longter, the former Empress with her head lowered and a gentle smile gradually becameplete.
Gu Nuo’er pointed with her small hand. “I think Imperial Grandmother stillcks something in her hand.”
The officials from the Secretary Office gathered together, feeling a little puzzled.
“Your Highness, do you mean that it iscking a jade ruyi? Or prayer beads?”
Gu Nuo’er shook her head. “Neither. It’s missing a rattle drum!”
The officials were stunned.
The child exined softly, “Since Imperial Grandmother is apanying 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 thete empress apanying His Majesty to y 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 thete emperor and thete empress were arguing over trivial matters. His Majesty was young and didn’t understand the reason, but he held his small wooden sword and protected thete empress, preventing thete emperor from losing his temper at his mother.
After the official finished speaking, he quickly added carefully, “This is all what this subject’s teacher said. It was from too long ago and there’s no evidence of
it.”
After all, this was an interesting matter between thete emperor and thete empress. To say it out loud would make one have the suspicion of gossiping about the imperial family.
However, Gu Nuo’er wasn’t 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 Nuo’er’s request, the first empress, Madam Chi, lowered her head and smiled, her eyes filled with love.
There was a nk 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 Nuo’er looked at the drawing and praised them repeatedly. “It’s been hard on you, uncles. This is exactly what I want! I’ll 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 timees.”
The few of them quickly replied, “Yes.”
After they left, Gu Nuo’er climbed onto a stool. “Elder Brother Siming, let’s start! ”
She took a brush dipped in ink and handed it to him. “You’ll be in charge of painting ck hair and eyes. This isn’t difficult! ”
Ye Siming raised his eyebrows and took the brush. He immediately leaned over and started working.
Gu Nuo’er was afraid that he would make mistakes. If that happened, the entire painting would have to be redone again.
However, Ye Siming’s wrist moved quickly and steadily.
Not longter, thete empress and the young emperor’s ck hair and ck eyes had beenpleted.
Gu Nuo’er opened her pink lips.. “Elder Brother Siming, do you know how to draw? How can you move so quickly without making any mistakes?”
