Realization dawned on Cui’er. She nodded and picked up a ruby hairpin, then helped Gu Qingxue tie her long hair up.
“These are not important matters to us, just treat it as an interesting matter, you two don’t need to take it to heart. Qin Yun, go and see if Lil’ Lin and the others are ready. If they are, we should set off.” When Gu Qingxue spoke, the corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile.
Today, she had told her godmother in advance that she would bring her three little ones to pay a New Year’s visit in advance.
Although their family would be able to see each other on the day of the palace banquet, they were sitting in different seats. In order to continue to hide their relationship, it was not appropriate to communicate with each other too enthusiastically.
It was New Year’s Eve today, and she had brought the three little ones to attend a family banquet. Naturally, there was no need to be so particular, and the whole family could gather together and chat as they pleased.
Qin Yun nodded in agreement before she quickened her pace and left the room.
The three little ones were also looking forward to meeting their maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, and goduncle. They had also packed up early and brought along New Year’s gifts with Gu Qingxue, heading to Imperial Duke Zhan’s manor.
The carriage went straight through Imperial Duke Zhan’s manor’s back door and entered the backyard. The coachman lifted the curtain, and Gu Qingxue stepped out of the carriage. She immediately saw Zhan Liuye standing in the corridor not far away.
He was still as elegant as a bamboo. When he saw Gu Qingxue, he smiled and walked over in large strides.
Gu Qingxue was very surprised. She hurriedly got out of the car and saluted
Zhan Liuye, saying, “Why is Godbrother standing in the snow and waiting?
We’ve arrived, so let the servants bring us to see my godparents.”
Zhan Liuye’s lips curled into a smile. The way he looked at Gu Qingxue was like an elder brother looking at his younger sister who had not returned home for many days.”It’s not easy for you to come home. How can I let you be so lonely the moment you get off the car? Originally father and mother also wanted to come and pick you up, but I thought that the two of them were already old, so I came alone.”
Gu Qingxue nodded and said, “Godbrother, you’re very thoughtful. Lil’ Lin,
Dumby, Lingbao, come and say hello to your goduncle.”
The three little cubs were carried out of the carriage by the coachman one by one. They were all wearing the most popular clothes in Jing City. The three little cubs all looked well-behaved and cute, their pink little faces looking like three little glutinous rice balls.
‘Greetings, Goduncle.” Gu Lin knew etiquette the best, and as he spoke, he bowed toward Zhan Liuye.
Dumby and Lingbao were not as capable as their big brother. When they bent down, they did not forget to look up and steal a glance at their big brother. Learning from their big brother’s movements did look a little interesting.
Amused by his three ones, Zhan Liuye took out three jade pendants from his sleeve. They were black jade, red jade, and mutton fat white jade. He handed them over to the kids one by one.
Gu Qingxue had seen countless treasures, and she could tell that these three jade pendants were valuable items. One might not be able to buy them even if they had money.
“Godbrother, why did you give them such a valuable gift?” Gu Qingxue asked Zhan Liuye.
The three little ones looked at the beautiful jade pendant. Although they liked it very much, they heard their mother say that this item was valuable, so they were prepared to return it to Zhan Liuye.
“Xue’er, it’s just something for the children to wear and play with. You don’t have to take it to heart. Moreover, they had all been admitted into the Royal Academy, which showed how much effort they had put in. To them, this was not a small reward. As their goduncle, I still have to give them this gift..”
