Concubine Qiao smiled without saying a word, and stroked the pink petals with her hands.

Wan Xuan was cleaning the teacup beside her, and said by the way, "You don't understand, this is Empress helping His Highness the Fourteenth."

Wanyin wondered: "Help? His Highness the Fourteenth is embarrassed to speak, and wants to keep that Tingtong. If Tingtong leaves the palace, wouldn't the two of them have no chance to meet?"

Wan Xuan snorted: "But it's not good to hear it, Ting Tong is a palace maid, and His Highness the Fourteenth is a prince!"

"Think about it, if the emperor knew that His Highness the Fourteenth was worried about a palace maid, do you think the emperor would be happy?"

Wan Yin thought for a moment.

It seems so.

The emperor has very high requirements for all his royal highnesses.

If you know about the Fourteenth Highness, because of a palace maid's mood change, he will definitely be unhappy.

Concubine Qiao only spoke at this time.

"Ben Gong also sees that the child of Fourteen is pitiful. He has been wandering outside in the early years, and now he clearly cares about a girl, and he dare not say it."

"Ting Tong's identity is indeed a little more complicated. If they keep being palace maids, they will not have good results."

"It's better to let go of the palace directly. If fate comes, maybe there are more possibilities."

Wan Yin and Wan Xuan nodded again and again.

Concubine Qiao stood up: "What time is it, why hasn't Nuo'er come back?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Nuo'er's voice came from outside——

"Mother, I'm back! I just met Brother Fourteen, and we chatted for a while. My brother said you were pulling him to chat, what did you say?"

Gu Nuoer ran in with her skirt up and hugged her mother's arm.

Concubine Qiao was full of smiles: "You naughty little guy, go take a bath first, wait a while, and mother will tell you what to talk about."

Gu Nuo'er smiled sweetly: "Okay!"

Today, Gu Yihan has government affairs to deal with, so he doesn't come to Qiushui Palace to sleep.

So, Gu Nuo'er squeezed onto her mother's bed.

The mother and daughter were talking quietly.

Concubine Qiao Gui told Gu Nuoer of her plan.

The girl was very surprised at first: "Ah? Is my mother really going to release Sister Ting Tong from the palace?"

Concubine Qiao scratched the tip of her nose: "Yes, otherwise, even if your brother and Ting Tong tell each other clearly in the future, your father will not like him to find a palace maid for marriage."

Gu Nuoer pouted: "Isn't Daddy always reasonable?"

"That's just for you." Concubine Qiao smiled helplessly.

She patted her daughter lightly on the shoulder, coaxing her to sleep.

"Before you were born, your father treated those princes just like his courtiers, beating and scolding at every turn."

"Your eldest brother Zixiao, because he is the eldest son, was beaten a lot. In the past, when your queen mother saw the scars on his back, she felt distressed and cried."

Gu Nuo'er blinked her big round eyes.

She had never seen her father beat anyone.

"Right!" Gu Nuo'er suddenly remembered: "Mother remembers Brother Thirteen?"

"Thirteen?" Concubine Qiao was also taken aback.

She recalled carefully: "I only remember that his mother was originally a palace maid, and later died during dystocia, leaving behind this poor child."

"But within a few years, this thirteenth passed away. He should not have lived past the age of four, nor could he speak. I remember that when he was first born, he didn't even cry."

Gu Nuo'er's eyes flashed with loneliness.

It seems that Brother Thirteen really passed away early.

Concubine Qiao asked, "Why did you ask this all of a sudden?"

Gu Nuo'er shook her head and hugged her mother's arm tightly.

"It's nothing, it's just that sometimes, when I think of this brother who has never appeared, I wonder what kind of person he is. If he is still alive, now he is like the rest of the brothers.
