Huo Chengche rolled his eyes at Xuan Di, giving him a knowing look, and then, after thinking about it carefully, he raised an eyebrow and looked Xuan Di up and down suspiciously. "Your father doesn't think that a wet nurse can protect your little Niannian from being tainted by the mud, does he?"
Xuan Di didn't immediately catch the sarcasm in Huo Chengche's words. He just snorted coldly and gritted his teeth in anger, "You don't know, my father said it himself. As long as it concerns Niannian, her words are as good as my father's royal decree."
Upon hearing this, Huo Chengche finally understood why this wet nurse was so strict and unyielding.
However, they were never unreasonable; they acted with reason and never overstepped the bounds. Even if Xuandi was causing trouble, it was just a few ignorant brats making a fuss. The Prince of Hengchang would never side with them.
Huo Chengche looked at Xuan Di, who was gritting his teeth in anger, and couldn't help but frown and ponder.
How could he not remember having a wet nurse named Jiang in his previous life? Logically speaking, given her status and position, even if he was young at the time, he should have some recollection of her.
Huo Chengche vaguely sensed that his memory of his "previous life" did not completely match the present. No, there were many things that did not match, and these things all seemed to revolve around the little baby.
He didn't understand why there was such a discrepancy.
Just as Huo Chengche was deep in thought, he was unsurprisingly kicked out of Mengxiaxuan by Nanny Jiang.
As for Xuandi, unsurprisingly, he was "invited" by Nanny Jiang to "connect" with his "new good friend" Huo Chengche.
Unsurprisingly, the two started fighting in the Xiaochen Palace.
Fortunately, the two fought on the training ground, so when word got out, it was just that they were "sparring".
When this reached Emperor Chongjin, he didn't even blink, and continued his tender moments with Chen Zhixian. Finally, the two were ushered back to their respective rooms by the old nanny sent by the Empress Dowager—the Crown Prince had just recovered from a serious illness and should rest quietly!
Huo Chengche almost got confined to his quarters by the Empress Dowager. It was only after he sincerely apologized and promised to do so, and after the old nanny patiently nagged him again and again, that the old nanny reluctantly agreed to go back and "speak well" of him.
Xuan Di laughed gleefully from the side. Although the fight hadn't resulted in a winner, if he were to bicker with Huo Chengche again, he only needed to mention, "Your Highness, how about we go to the training ground and have another fight?" He would definitely have the upper hand.
Soon, when Xuan Di returned to Meng Xia Xuan with a cheerful smile, the little baby had already been given a nice bath by Nanny Jiang and was curled up lazily in Miss Xia Yi's arms, blinking his bright black eyes as he listened attentively to the story.
Xuan Di glanced at her, gently pinched her cheek, and was about to head to the side hall to bathe when he passed under the corridor and overheard Nanny Jiang calling Zhuang You to whisper to her.
"Zhuangyou, what exactly is that little girl's background? Do you know whether she's here to serve others or to be a young mistress?" Nanny Jiang glanced at the small figure she had just stopped and sent to the east wing to rest, and asked Zhuangyou with a stern face.
Seeing the obvious displeasure on Nanny Jiang's face, Zhuangyou couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.
"This girl's affairs involve their royal family, and it's none of our business. I only agreed to let her stay with us because our little princess likes her, and the girl is truly pitiful. Is it because you don't like her that you're asking, wet nurse?"
