"Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive me, but the former Imperial Preceptor, Master Yeji, was indeed a close friend of our Prince. After resigning from his official post, Master Yeji traveled to Hengchang and watched our little princess being born and growing up. He would never do such a thing!"
"Grow up?" Huo Chengche raised an eyebrow in suspicion, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt a chill run down his spine and immediately sensed something was wrong—
"Doesn't Crown Prince think Niannian has grown up? Yesterday, Crown Prince told Niannian that she's a big baby now and that it would tire Zhuangyou out if she always lets her be carried! How could Crown Prince lie to a little baby like that! You're so naughty!"
Now Zhuangyou understood why her little princess, who had been sleeping soundly in her arms, suddenly became sleepy and wanted to run into the arms of this sesame-filled little prince.
"Your Highness!" Zhuang You wished she could chew on someone's flesh and blood! How could this little prince, so full of sesame seeds, be so good at finding opportunities to seduce her! She hadn't stopped staring at her little princess, so when did he start corrupting her little darling this time?!
However, Zhuang You's threat was not enough, so Huo Chengche pretended to be deaf and dumb and quickly coaxed his sulking little dumpling with a gentle smile.
“Niannian, you are a cute little baby in the eyes of the Crown Prince! Yesterday the Crown Prince said that Niannian has grown up and that Niannian should be more sensible when she is with Sister Zhuangyou so as not to tire her out.”
“But when Niannian is in the arms of the Crown Prince, she can stay a baby forever. She doesn’t have to be well-behaved and sensible. She can be as naughty and mischievous as she wants!”
Huo Chengche knew all too well that he absolutely couldn't coax this little bundle of joy, otherwise, that little devil's mouth would definitely expose him in a fierce and adorable way.
In a moment of quick thinking, Huo Chengche changed his approach. The little boy, though not fully understanding the exact meaning, grasped the gist: he could do whatever he wanted in the Crown Prince's arms without being scolded for being naughty!
Really?
The boy smiled indulgently, "Yes, the Crown Prince is not your fifth brother. The Crown Prince always keeps his word and never lies to Niannian!"
Sure enough, the little dumpling was immediately coaxed into a happy mood as soon as she thought about how much more reliable her Crown Prince brother was than her Fifth Brother, her bright black eyes sparkling.
However, Huo Chengche wasn't entirely without principles. Looking at the mischievous, bright eyes of the little girl in his arms, he reached out and gently pinched her little nose. "But all of Crown Prince Brother's indulgences are within the bounds of principle, okay?"
The little baby couldn't understand. Actually, she could secretly guess a tiny bit in her heart, but she was a silly little baby, and she just couldn't understand! With her big, dark eyes rolling and her little face pouting, she looked like she was saying, "This baby doesn't understand."
Huo Chengche didn't mind being more blunt, patting the little rascal's tender bottom as he pretended to be silly, "For example, you can only eat one bite of braised duck, you can only eat two pieces of snacks and you can't eat them before meals, and you have to obediently drink hot milk and rinse your mouth before going to bed..."
Huo Chengche also followed the example of a certain silly little baby, listing all the things he would never allow her to do from beginning to end.
At this moment, Zhuangyou sneered from behind. Should she be glad that this little prince with sesame filling still had some principles, or should she be furious that this little prince with sesame filling could talk so much!
She still thinks she can "always be an innocent little baby in the arms of the Crown Prince"? Bah! Does she think she's an outsider now?
