This method is always effective. Even if Xuandi knew he would be questioned if caught and had conspired with his servant beforehand, what he thought in his mind and what he actually experienced were always different. The Prince of Hengchang used minimal effort to achieve maximum effect, and he got the answer right every time.
Emperor Chongjin thought of Xuandi's stubborn and annoying nature and couldn't help but sneer. His face darkened. That brat was quick-witted and sharp-tongued. Only his father, the Prince of Hengchang, could keep him in check. No wonder he was so afraid of them complaining to the Prince of Hengchang.
When Zhuangyou heard her little master betray her brother without hesitation, she could only smile helplessly as usual.
Just as the little girl was proudly showing off her daddy and getting carried away, Chen Zhixian picked her up from Chongjindi's arms, patted her chubby little bottom, and said sternly with a stern face, "Good baby won't disobey adults and insist on eating braised duck."
Her sixth princess was the same from a young age; she would cough if she ate anything even slightly salty. Naturally, she knew how serious the consequences would be if the little one ate an extra bite of braised duck.
The little baby, who was a bully to the weak and afraid of the strong, pouted. Even though he knew what his godmother meant, he refused to obediently say he wouldn't eat anymore. His bright, watery eyes filled with tears, and he looked up at Chen Zhixian pitifully, whimpering in his childish voice. He looked so pitiful.
Chen Zhixian's heart softened immediately upon seeing this.
However, no matter how much she wanted to soften her heart, the thought of her little Yingying coughing until her face turned red and painfully drinking bitter medicine, coupled with the sight of this little rascal in her arms, immediately made her heartache prevail over her soft-heartedness. Faced with the little baby's cowardly attempts to act cute and pitiful, she should keep a straight face and remain unmoved.
Even Emperor Chongjin felt a pang of sympathy when he saw the little boy's pitiful appearance. Seeing Chen Zhixian's fierce expression, he reached out to take the little boy back.
However, to Emperor Chongjin's surprise, Chen Zhixian slapped his outstretched hand away.
Chen Zhixian glared angrily at Emperor Chongjin, who was desperately trying to sabotage her. She really didn't understand what these lousy men were thinking. When they should be ruthless, they were so indecisive and soft-hearted, even softer than her. When they should be soft-hearted, they were so cold-blooded.
All pig trotters in the world smell the same!
"Your Majesty, I've heard that the Empress Dowager adores Niannian. If Your Majesty continues like this, I'll take Niannian to the Empress Dowager's Shouci Palace and tell her how you've harmed her precious little darling!"
Chen Zhixian met Emperor Chongjin's gaze and spoke firmly.
Emperor Chongjin's face, which had just darkened, froze instantly. His hand, which had been reaching out aggressively once again, immediately stopped. Although he did not immediately pull it back, his determined momentum had already slipped away.
Chen Zhixian, holding the little baby, gave the mischievous boy's naughty bottom a pat and continued, "Even if Your Majesty orders people to stop me, I will just shout here. I'm sure the Empress Dowager will arrive before I shout until my voice is hoarse!"
The rear hall of Xihe Palace and the rear hall of Shouci Palace are almost separated by only one wall. Although the Empress Dowager is unlikely to be in the rear hall of Shouci Palace, if she shouts here, the palace servants in the rear hall of Shouci Palace will definitely hear her.
Since it concerns the little princess, why would they be afraid not to report it to the Empress Dowager immediately?
As expected, upon hearing this, Emperor Chongjin's face showed a hint of guilt. Before he could figure out how to gracefully let the matter pass without losing his dignity, he had already withdrawn his hand.
So, the majestic and powerful Emperor Chongjin could only quickly change the direction of his hand, cough to his lips, and then touch Chen Zhixian's hair, pretending nothing had happened and smiling gently, "My dear consort, you look much better today."
He said it in a very serious tone.
