Of course, even if Emperor Chongjin was a little confused by the two brats who suddenly became united against a common enemy, he wouldn't just let them "help" him out like that.
So Huo Chengche gritted his teeth and hinted to Xuandi to help Emperor Chongjin adjust his direction. Then he personally "accidentally" broke open the door of a cabinet.
The vibrant colors suddenly filled Emperor Chongjin's eyes, rushing around wildly. Caught off guard, his head buzzed, and for a moment, he felt as if he had gone blind.
"Ahem, Lady Chen, I apologize. I didn't see you for a moment and accidentally knocked your cabinet door open." The young man politely turned his face away, making sure his gaze didn't fall on anything inside, and said to Chen Zhixian with a gentle smile.
"It's alright, it's alright," Chen Zhixian quickly replied with a smile.
She knew exactly what Huo Chengche was planning, but seeing this once unattainable prince standing before her with a faint smile, so alive and well, made her a little stunned.
After all, this was the first time she had ever seen the Crown Prince in person; before, the Crown Prince she had seen was just a point on a high platform.
Now that people have come to life, it's no wonder Chen Zhixian feels a little uncomfortable.
However, she soon had no time to care about the Crown Prince, as a soft little baby was giggling and trying to squeeze into her.
The little one is so soft and slippery. Every time Zhuangyou grabs her, she immediately slips away with a little burrowing and nudging. Her giggling little voice makes her laugh happily, which makes Zhuangyou wish she had two more hands.
Huo Chengche glanced at the little girl who was having a great time, and quickly gave Xuan Di a look.
It was truly rare for Xuan Di to cooperate so well with Huo Chengche. Seeing that look in his eyes, he didn't hesitate for a moment, subtly tugged at the dizzy Emperor Chongjin, and coughed lightly.
Emperor Chongjin snapped back to his senses instantly, and almost instinctively, he coughed with an air of authority.
Then, as if after some thought, he said in a deep voice, "Niannian, your head maid is right. Since it's clothes made by your mother, it's a token of her love. You can't refuse a gift from an elder, Niannian wouldn't want to upset her mother, right?"
Upon hearing this, the little boy frowned, puffed out his cheeks angrily, and peeked out from Chen Zhixian's arms, grumbling and complaining to Emperor Chongjin:
"Why is Godfather like this? He never keeps his word! How can an adult do this? Even a little baby shouldn't break their promise. Niannian would never do this. Godfather, you're so shameful!"
Emperor Chongjin's old face stiffened, and he coughed repeatedly, trying his best to maintain his dignity.
He really wanted to grit his teeth and "keep his word," but his head was buzzing with that jarring color scheme.
He had just glanced at it and was already in such a state. If he "keeps his word," then every day from now on, there will be an eye-damaged flower bouncing around in front of him.
It's like having a little assassin around—there's always some girl trying to harm me.
With this in mind, Emperor Chongjin's expression immediately hardened, and he spoke with righteous indignation:
"I was careless just now, but let me think about it: no one is perfect, who can be without fault? Your godfather is also human. Now that you know you were wrong, you should correct it in time, right?"
The little boy felt like he'd been fooled, but his godfather seemed very serious.
The little baby whimpered unhappily and pouted.
Emperor Chongjin, with a loving expression, personally picked up the little baby and placed her outside. He patted her head and urged, "Alright, go on now. Your Empress Dowager might be waiting for you."
At this point, Emperor Chongjin narrowed his eyes slightly, only then realizing that Lady Min had taken advantage of the chaos to go to the Empress Dowager's place.
