Nanny Jiang frowned, her tone as cold and hard as ever, "I don't like it. A nine-year-old girl should be sensible by now. Even if she doesn't understand, the look in her eyes today wasn't the innocent look of a child. Just for that, I don't like it."
"What eyes..." Zhuang You asked blankly, then suddenly remembered that when she carried the little girl over, the little girl had just withdrawn her gaze.
It was just a fleeting thought at the time, so she didn't pay much attention to it. But now, reminded by Nanny Jiang, she's thinking about it more carefully...
Zhuang You's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Seeing that Zhuangyou remembered, Nanny Jiang snorted and continued in a stronger tone, "Even if we don't like that little prince, our little princess likes him. Who knows what will happen in the future? In any case, it's not her place to covet him."
Zhuangyou, a young maidservant, was inexperienced in matters of the heart and somewhat oblivious to such things. However, after being reminded by Nanny Jiang, she immediately understood.
She was startled, but agreed, saying, "Yes, even if we don't care about that little prince, we still have our own fifth young master! If that girl really has such thoughts, we can't let our fifth young master get into trouble."
“It’s good that you understand,” Nanny Jiang nodded and instructed Zhuangyou, “I heard that the Empress Dowager ordered her to enjoy the treatment of a county lady. Tomorrow you should ask the Empress Dowager to find out whether she is a palace maid who enjoys the treatment of a county lady or a county lady who has not yet been formally conferred the title.”
“If she is a maid, always enjoying favors, then she should act like a maid and not overstep her bounds. If she is a county magistrate’s daughter, then she should be raised in her boudoir, and it is not convenient for her to live in our courtyard.”
Xuan Di listened to their conversation, his brows furrowing slightly. He came over with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "She's just a girl from Xiheng Kingdom. At the age of Mu Shaoai, it's perfectly normal for her to take a second look at handsome men."
Zhuangyou and Jiang Nainiang exchanged a glance, both speechless as they looked at Xuandi, who was praising their good looks without batting an eye.
Xuan Di coughed upon seeing the color and said casually, "We don't need to concern ourselves with other people's affairs. As long as Niannian likes it, just put it in the yard. After all, if she really has any ulterior motives towards Niannian, can she hide it from that clever little devil?"
The words were a mix of seriousness and humor. Xuan Di didn't put on a stern face, and Zhuang You and Nanny Jiang smiled helplessly in unison.
They weren't worried about that little dumpling, of course. That clever little devil was very perceptive; if anyone wanted to harm her or take advantage of her, she would immediately sense it.
They were clearly worried about Xuandi.
Looking at her fifth son's unruly demeanor, although she often sternly rebuked Xuan Di, she had long regarded her youngest brother, the little princess, as her own baby because he often came to play with his sister.
Seeing that Xuandi wasn't paying attention, Nanny Jiang patiently lectured him, "Fifth Young Master is inexperienced and doesn't know much. It's normal for this young lady to be attracted to young men, but the way she secretly glances at handsome men isn't the same as what she just did. That look was clearly..."
It's a burning gaze that knows no bounds in its pursuit of its goals.
Before Jiang Nanny could finish speaking, she was tugged by Zhuang You.
Upon seeing this, Xuandi naively thought: "As expected, Zhuangyou is still the most understanding."
He raised an eyebrow and gave her a thank-you look, then turned and walked towards the side hall, quickly telling people to prepare water for his bath. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
