Out of the corner of her eye, Zhuang You saw the little baby lying pitifully on the table, pouting and whimpering. She immediately knew that the baby must have sensed Chen Zhixian's feelings.

Such complex and heavy emotions are too difficult for a little baby to bear.

Zhuangyou quickly smiled and diverted Chen Zhixian's attention, "Your Highness Miaoliu is so skillful! These clothes are so beautiful, they're making my eyes dizzy. Why don't you help our young mistress choose a dress?"

It's so hard to pick out one piece from this pile of eyesores!

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixian was no longer sad. Moreover, seeing the obvious disdain in Zhuangyou's eyes when looking at the clothes, she smiled instead, casually picked out the most unpleasant color scheme from among them, and unfolded it to show Zhuangyou.

“I think this set is good, Niannian will like it,” she said confidently.

Zhuangyou glanced at it and quickly covered her eyes in disgust, sneering inwardly: Hmph, she will like it, it's amazing that this empress can make it without caring about hurting her eyes!

Zhuangyou sighed, nodded quickly, then hurriedly took the little dress and made sure she didn't see it anymore. She forced a smile and said, "Your Highness Miaoliu, let's go and put it on my young master!"

Seeing Zhuang You's reaction, Chen Zhixian was even more amused and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Zhuangyou rolled her eyes inwardly, feeling helpless. Sure enough, this empress was doing it on purpose.

However, at this moment, Zhuangyou also understood why the Sixth Princess had chosen to be in her womb. She was a lovely princess, both cute and stubborn.

She looked at Chen Zhixian, who was smiling, her face so pale it was almost transparent. She had been bullied to the point of not being able to eat, yet she stubbornly tended to the wildflower garden that the Sixth Princess loved most and sewed the clothes that the Sixth Princess loved most.

Zhuangyou touched the little garment in her hand and was surprised to find, "This is made of the finest material!"

Chen Zhixian suppressed a laugh and explained, "Yes, if it weren't for its bright color, it wouldn't have ended up in my hands, let alone stayed with me for so long."

Chen Zhixian said it with a smile, with a hint of mockery, but Zhuang You could hear the endless bitterness in her voice.

"Oh, right, I forgot to ask. You and Niannian look unfamiliar. May I ask which family you two belong to?" Chen Zhixian asked as she led Zhuangyou into the outer room.

Today, the Empress Dowager invited all the noble families of the capital to the palace, and Chen Zhixian naturally assumed that the little boy was one of the noble families of the capital who was brought into the palace today.

Zhuangyou smiled and said, "We are from the Hengchang Prince's Mansion. Our little princess just arrived in the capital today, so it's normal that Her Majesty doesn't recognize us."

"The Prince of Hengchang's Mansion?!" Chen Zhixian stopped in her tracks, her already frail body almost staggering and falling.

Zhuang You hadn't expected Chen Zhixian to react so strongly. Quick-witted and agile, she helped Chen Zhixian up and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, why are you so surprised? No matter what our little princess's identity is, she is still herself. The baby you just held wasn't a fake."

Chen Zhixian was still in a daze. She looked at the little baby playing happily in the outer room with disbelief, and then her eyes flashed with understanding. No wonder Zhuangyou and the little baby treated her so differently from the people in the palace.

She forced a smile, gently pulled away from Zhuang You's hand, lowered her head slightly, and subtly distanced herself from her, smiling softly as she said:

"The little princess and the young lady have come from afar; they probably don't know anything about me and my sixth princess in this palace..."
