So, Nanny Jiang sneered, her face dark, and said coldly, "Yes, if it weren't for this black-hearted little prince having some sense of propriety, I would have already taken our little princess back to Hengchang."
When the time comes, will the Prince of Hengchang blame them for taking his precious little darling back without permission, or will he simply take a big sword and storm into the capital palace?
Xia Yi swallowed hard, gave an awkward smile, and quickly shut her mouth, burying herself in her work.
Jiang the wet nurse and Zhuangyou exchanged a glance and simultaneously let out a cold laugh through gritted teeth.
After Zhuangyou dried the little baby's hair and changed him into clean clothes, the guards who came to pick them up arrived outside, led by Gu Ran, who was by Huo Chengche's side.
“Those restless people outside have been cleared out. His Highness the Crown Prince has sent me to escort Princess Fuying back to the palace.” Gu Ran said solemnly and crisply, staring at the ground in front of the Yifu Palace steps with a blank face.
After her bath, the little baby was already sleepy. She yawned and then lazily nestled on Zhuangyou's shoulder, dozing off.
Fearing that the little baby would catch a cold, Nanny Jiang wrapped her in a small blanket over her cloak, making her look like a little ball.
When they left, Consort Xue still did not show up, but sent her head maid, Li'er, to see them off, apologizing that her lady was currently unavailable.
After listening to Consort Xue's long-suppressed words tonight, Zhuangyou felt great sympathy for her. In this deep palace, so many people are not in control of their own lives.
"It's alright. We have His Highness the Crown Prince's guards to escort us. We can go back on our own. Your Highness, please rest early after you've finished your work." Zhuangyou was unusually kind to Li'er, smiling gently as she asked her to stay.
When they came out of the side hall, they could still hear the noise coming from the east wing hall as they walked in the courtyard.
It seems that Consort Xue will not be able to enjoy a peaceful night either.
Aside from the gates of Yifu Palace, Nanny Jiang glanced back at the brightly lit palace behind her, frowned, and sighed, "Tell me, why would a perfectly good princess help outsiders harm our little princess!"
Zhuangyou smiled at Jiang Nanny's indignant expression and said nothing, only tightening her grip on the little dumpling in her arms slightly.
"By the way, where is the Fifth Prince? Wasn't he with you? Why did we only see His Highness the Crown Prince and our little princess? Where did the Fifth Prince go?" Nanny Jiang suddenly remembered Xuan Di and asked curiously.
Hearing this from the side, Xia Yi asked in surprise, "Eh? Fifth Young Master didn't go back? This servant thought Fifth Young Master had gone back!"
She had been waiting outside the courtyard with the people from the East Palace when the other masters went to play in the rockery garden. In short, she didn't see Xuan Di when she was summoned to Yifu Palace, so she asked in confusion.
"Fifth, Fifth Young Master..." Zhuangyou was about to say that she had left the palace, but suddenly remembered that Xia Yi had said that the palace would be locked at night and no one inside could get out.
So, the words were on the tip of her tongue, but Zhuang You swallowed them back down and made up a new excuse, "Ah, Fifth Young Master, he must have gone to feed the tigers, right? That stupid tiger from the Battle Domain must have caused some trouble at the Beast Taming Division again, right? A servant from the Beast Taming Division just came and called him away."
After saying that, Zhuangyou felt the little bundle of flesh in her arms move, so she quickly and quietly patted the little bottom of the baby. It was a light pat, not too light or too heavy, and you could barely feel it through the layers of thick clothes.
