Emperor Chongjin watched with amusement as the little rascal in his arms blatantly bullied the weak and feared the strong. He ignored Zhuangyou's gaze, but when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of the glare coming from a good-natured, submissive girl.

"Your Majesty! Children will cough if they eat too much salt!" Chen Zhixian rarely stood up to Emperor Chongjin like this. Her usually gentle and mild face turned stern, and she looked at Emperor Chongjin as if she were looking at a naughty child.

When Emperor Chongjin met Chen Zhixian's somewhat subtle gaze, he couldn't help but recall the looks the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince had given him in the Shouci Palace earlier, which were exactly the same as Chen Zhixian's gaze now.

"Ahem..." Emperor Chongjin coughed. He had just wavered for a moment when the little baby in his arms pounced on him and whimpered in a childish voice, "You can't go back on your word, sir."

The little dumpling's soft, sweet voice finally softened Emperor Chongjin's wavering heart again. He smiled, put his arm around Chen Zhixian, and whispered, "Just a little bit, I know what I'm doing."

Upon closer inspection, one can even discern a hint of ingratiation in that smile.

Chen Zhixian stared at Emperor Chongjin in disbelief. She had never known before that Emperor Chongjin could be so unprincipled!

Taking advantage of Chen Zhixian's momentary daze, Emperor Chongjin quickly gave the little boy a wink.

The little baby wagged his tiny tail, revealing dimples, and smiled as brightly as a little puppy. He quickly jumped up from Chongjin Emperor's arms and whispered a few words in his baby voice.

By the time Chen Zhixian realized what was happening and tried to stop it, it was too late.

Emperor Chongjin, being the Son of Heaven, had agreed to the little boy's deal and naturally could not go back on his word.

Chen Zhixian gritted her teeth, looking at the sneaky look on the faces of Emperor Chongjin and his daughter, and her face turned red with anger.

One by one, they're all acting so recklessly!

Seeing this, Zhuangyou quickly seized the opportunity to complain, "Your Highness Miaoliu, you must keep a close eye on him in the future! The Emperor is too easily swayed! He has no principles at all when my little princess acts cute or pitiful! He always indulges my little princess's whims, and in the end, it's our little princess who has to cough, feel unwell, and take medicine!"

As Chen Zhixian listened, her face grew increasingly angry. When Emperor Chongjin looked over, Chen Zhixian, emboldened by her anger, glared directly at him for the first time.

This was the first time Emperor Chongjin had ever been glared at by a woman in his harem, and he never expected that the woman who glared at him for the first time would be a pushover in the harem whom everyone could bully.

However, Emperor Chongjin did not think of that at the moment. After being glared at, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled faintly at Chen Zhixian, with a hint of embarrassment in his smile.

He raised his hand and patted Chen Zhixian's soft hand reassuringly, then listened intently to the little boy's words with such a serious expression that anyone who didn't know better would think he was holding court.

Chen Zhixian cursed inwardly. What a pretentious, stinky man! How could he be like this! He doesn't act like an emperor at all!

When Emperor Chongjin saw the way Chen Zhixian looked at him, he knew that this woman was probably making up stories about him in her heart.

However, Emperor Chongjin kept his guilt to himself and was surprisingly good-tempered when dealing with Chen Zhixian.

The little boy was practically burying his face in his ear to talk, and Emperor Chongjin could not only hear what he was saying, but also the little boy's breath of "fairy air" blowing into his head, which made his head ache.

However, this did not prevent him from understanding what the little boy meant. His eyes deepened, a dark light flashed, and a satisfied smile appeared on his thin lips.
