"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy! Thank you, Princess, for pleading on my behalf!" Mu Shuren kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude.
As she was being led away, she suddenly spoke solemnly again, "Your Majesty, I request to come to Yimiao Pavilion after the month to take care of the little princess and the young ladies of various families. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to repent and start anew!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongjin gave Mu Shuren a deep look, neither confirming nor denying. Instead, he lowered his head and asked the little baby in his arms in a gentle voice, "Is Niannian willing to forgive Aunt Mu?"
The little girl couldn't understand her aunt's words, but she glanced back at Mu Shuren and saw that she was completely different from when she had just falsely accused her. The little girl pouted, but under Mu Shuren's hopeful gaze, she obediently nodded.
"Godfather, where is Yimiao Pavilion? Doesn't Niannian live in Qinghua Tower?" The little boy tilted his head in confusion.
"There is a palace in the palace called Xinhe Palace, which is the girls' school in the palace. Yimiao Pavilion is the elementary school for children that Niannian wants to go to," Emperor Chongjin explained gently.
Actually, Yimiao Pavilion is more of a garden than a school.
Since they were all little girls around three or four years old, it was just a school in name only, with palace maids taking these toddlers around to play.
The girls' school in Xinhe Palace was actually a place for concubines to find suitable wives for the royal family. Therefore, the concubines who went there to oversee the school all had princes under their wing.
It's just that too many young princesses insisted on going before the New Year, so a small class was added. But the babies are too young, confused and fussy, and prone to accidents, so no concubine has ever been willing to take on this hot potato.
Emperor Chongjin thought about the many little girls in the courtyard, then looked at the delicate and soft little baby in his arms, and immediately agreed, "Since you have this intention, I grant your request."
Mu Shuren was delighted and readily agreed.
Emperor Chongjin said in a stern voice, “You should know who I am doing this favor for. Nian Nian is new here and has a gentle and sweet nature, so you must take good care of her.”
Soft-hearted? What soft-hearted person can climb walls and trees? They managed to run her maids and eunuchs around in circles, and even shut her up with their little mouths so she couldn't say a word.
Mu Shuren hesitated for a moment, but she knew what Emperor Chongjin meant, so she quickly assured him, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best to repay the little princess and ensure that she does not suffer any injustice!"
Emperor Chongjin nodded, "Very good. If you do well, you can atone for your mistakes and have your rank restored. But if you suffer even the slightest grievance, you can go to your cold palace and be a maid."
"Yes, yes!" Mu Shuren's eyes lit up when she heard the words "reset". When she looked up, her eyes were already glistening with tears, and she nodded repeatedly.
Emperor Chongjin raised his hand and ordered someone to take her away.
Watching Mu Shuren's departing figure, the little boy thought seriously for a moment, then happily looked up and asked, "Godfather, is Niannian going to school? Is Crown Prince Brother there too? Does that mean Crown Prince Brother will play with Niannian from now on?"
Emperor Chongjin looked at the little girl's cheerful appearance, smiled helplessly, and pinched her upturned little nose, "Your Crown Prince brother has grown up, so naturally he will attend a different school."
The little dumpling immediately pouted his little lips, and let out a long, childish "ah" sound.
Emperor Chongjin looked at the little boy's disappointed expression and his heart softened. He could only say, "Actually, Xinhe Palace is not far from where your Crown Prince brother studies. Niannian can go to see him every time she gets off school, and bring him some fruit and tea, so that your Crown Prince brother can also rest and not just stay in school."
