Huo Chengche looked up at the sky, picked up the little baby and walked towards Xinhe Palace, coaxing the baby in his arms, "It's almost time for Xinhe Palace to finish school, so how about Crown Prince take Niannian to play with the older sisters, and we can also have dinner at the Empress Dowager's place together?"
"Okay!" the little dumpling replied happily. As long as she could play, she was happy.
Huo Chengche looked at the carefree little fool in his arms, shook his head with amusement, and walked towards Xinhe Palace.
Xinhe Palace and Empress Dowager Cishou Palace are on the same road, so they are indeed on the same route.
However, when Huo Chengche arrived with the little boy, Xinhe Palace had not yet finished school.
Huo Chengche naturally had no intention of sending the little boy inside. This was a girls' school, and high-ranking concubines from the imperial harem were stationed there, so it was inconvenient for him, the crown prince, to go in. If he sent the little boy in, he would have to wait outside.
So Huo Chengche deliberately slowed down and strolled leisurely in that direction.
Although the little dumpling was unaware of her brother's wicked intentions, she was also not easily fooled because she was eager to play with her girlfriends.
As soon as Huo Chengche slowed down, the little boy immediately pouted, his bright, dark eyes staring straight at him, and he whimpered in a cute but fierce tone, "Why did you deliberately slow down, Crown Prince?"
Huo Chengche paused, looking down into the clear, innocent eyes of the little baby in his arms. He couldn't help but sigh with a headache. This clever little devil, how could she be so mischievous? He had only just had that thought, and she had already caught him.
At this moment, Huo Chengche had a rare moment of understanding of the feelings of those bad people who wanted to harm Nian Nian.
"Your Highness, you've been walking all day and are a little tired, so you're walking slowly and taking a break," Huo Chengche coaxed the little boy in his arms without changing his expression.
But are little babies really that easy to coax?
Those who want to bully Niannian, such as the few eunuchs she met at Chen Zhixian's place yesterday, will never run into this little tyrant and will always get a cold shoulder.
"But Crown Prince Brother clearly rode a horse all day today, and he didn't even walk more than a few steps!" The little boy spoke frankly, pouting his lips and looking at Huo Chengche with a hint of doubt in his eyes...
It's roughly like the expression Huo Chengche had when he saw a grown man drinking tea and making a delicate gesture with his fingers.
Huo Chengche's face stiffened, and his handsome face darkened—this little rascal! What kind of look is that!
However, before Huo Chengche could dwell on this, he heard Nian Nian's soft, sweet voice ring out in his ear, "It's okay, if Crown Prince is tired, you can walk slowly! Nian Nian isn't tired, Crown Prince, put Nian Nian down, Nian Nian can run by herself!"
Huo Chengche: ...
Sure enough, he had been spending too much time with that guy Xuandi, and he felt that his brain had been a bit foggy these past few days. Now he was even shooting himself in the foot in the same way.
Huo Chengche silently attributed all of this to Xuandi in his mind.
"Niannian is such a good girl." Huo Chengche could only say this dryly, just like a certain Di who always ends up shooting himself in the foot, then coughed lightly and quickly diverted the little boy's attention.
“Niannian, look, that’s Xinhe Palace.” Huo Chengche pointed to the palace in front of him, but as his gaze fell on it, the gentleness on his face suddenly turned cold, and his long, deep eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly.
