The little dumpling sensed her godmother's fear and shrank back, realizing she had probably gotten into trouble—her brother, the crown prince, had told her that everyone in the palace was afraid of Fatty Tuan Tuan and that she shouldn't call it out to scare people.
The little boy, looking guilty, snuggled obediently into his godmother's arms, his eyes wide and round. He looked up at her, his voice exceptionally soft and sweet.
"Godmother, did Niannian call Pang Tuantuan over and scare you? Godmother, don't be afraid. Niannian was wrong. Please don't be angry. Niannian will not call Pang Tuantuan randomly again."
The sweet, timid little voice gently drifted into Chen Zhixian's ears, and her eyes gradually returned to their senses.
Chen Zhixian didn't see the tiger's face clearly, and with Zhuang You blocking her view, she managed to keep her composure.
She looked down at the little baby in her arms, who was tilting his head back. Knowing he had done something wrong, the little baby became even more obedient, his round, watery eyes looking at her expectantly, both well-behaved and pitiful.
Looking at that exquisitely beautiful face, how could Chen Zhixian bear to be angry?
"No, it's alright, godmother is fine! Godmother isn't angry with Niannian, it's just that godmother is timid, it's not Niannian's fault."
Chen Zhixian heard this morning that Niannian brought a tiger into the palace. At first, she thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true!
She glanced around and saw the eunuchs who were paralyzed with fear and rolling their eyes. Her eyes flickered, and finally she said firmly to the little baby in her arms, "Next time someone tries to bully Niannian, Niannian will call Pang Tuantuan like this again!"
Zhuang You, who was listening nearby, twitched at the corner of her mouth.
The little boy's eyes lit up when he heard his godmother's words, and he said in a clear voice, "Okay!"
Zhuangyou: ...
Looking at the little boy's happy face, Chen Zhixian also had a faint smile on her still pale face.
"well……"
A deep sigh came from behind, filled with helplessness, but upon closer listening, it was full of indulgence.
Chen Zhixian was stunned. As soon as she turned around, before she could even see who it was, she was pulled into a warm and broad embrace.
"Your Majesty?!" Chen Zhixian looked at Emperor Chongjin in surprise, her almond-shaped eyes misty and somewhat dazed, probably because she had just been frightened.
Emperor Chongjin frowned as he looked at Chen Zhixian's pale face, and was immediately displeased.
However, this displeasure was not directed at the little boy. His sharp gaze swept over the four eunuchs lying on the ground, his nostrils flaring, exuding imperial might.
"Dejiang, wake him up now!"
Dejiang quickly agreed, but while the other three were easy to talk to, Manager Huang was being used as a cushion by a certain fat tiger on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Dejiang's eye twitched.
He was still a little intimidated by the big, fat tiger and didn't dare to snatch the person from under its rear. He could only grit his teeth, look at Emperor Chongjin with difficulty, and give him a fawning smile.
Emperor Chongjin glanced at the fat tiger sitting on Manager Huang licking its paws, then looked down at the little girl. He met her bright, clear eyes, which blinked at him, looking obedient, soft, and with a hint of guilt.
Emperor Chongjin chuckled and gently pinched her little nose, suppressing all his anger. He praised her with a gentle smile, "Niannian did a great job today, protecting her godmother."
Although Chen Zhixian was frightened, being frightened is better than losing her life. Today, he and Zhuangyou were there. Who knows if there will be anyone by her side next time?
Ultimately, Emperor Chongjin also supported the little boy's actions.
