"Of course!" Chen Zhixian was overjoyed to hear the little boy's words.
She bent down, picked up the little baby, and walked into the house, saying as she went, "Auntie will take Niannian to put on some clothes before we come out to play, okay?"
"Okay!" The little boy obediently let the pretty aunt carry him into the house.
Chen Zhixian placed her on the soft couch beside the bed, and then magically produced a vase and many small flowers, placing them on the small table. She gently patted the little baby's head, saying, "Auntie is going to find clothes. Niannian, play by yourself for a while."
"Okay!" The little girl looked at the various cute wildflowers on the table and loved them so much that she couldn't wait to hug the vase and put her favorite flower in it.
Looking at the adorable little boy, Chen Zhixian smiled lovingly and turned to go to the inner room to get some clothes.
As she passed by the door, Zhuangyou came in. Seeing Chen Zhixian, she smiled and curtsied, "This servant was negligent and forgot to bring a cloak for our young mistress when she went out. We are very sorry to trouble Consort Miaoliu."
Chen Zhixian was taken aback when she heard the address "Lady Miaoliu," and when she looked at Zhuang You's kind and gentle face, she was somewhat dazed.
It had been a long time since anyone had called her "Lady Miaoliu" so earnestly and naturally, without any sarcasm or mockery.
Chen Zhixian snapped out of her daze, quickly helped Zhuangyou up, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I was just lost in thought. How could I possibly deserve such a title as 'Lady Miaoliu'?"
As she spoke, she led Zhuangyou into the inner room, saying, "Since you are serving Niannian personally, why don't you pick out a dress? She just told me that she wanted a pretty one."
When the little boy said this, Zhuang You naturally heard it. Thinking of her little darling's quirky, bear-like manner, she couldn't help but smile. "Empress Miao Liu's cooking skills are naturally excellent, not to mention my little darling's... young master's taste..."
Thinking of those bizarre color schemes, Zhuangyou's eyes twitched involuntarily; she simply couldn't agree with them.
Chen Zhixian smiled, reached out and opened the wardrobe. Inside, a variety of bright and eye-catching colors immediately caught Zhuang You's eye.
Zhuangyou: ...Am I blind?
Zhuangyou stared dumbfounded at the bright red clothes in the wardrobe, momentarily feeling a sense of disorientation, as if she had returned to the Prince's mansion.
Chen Zhixian looked at Zhuang You's dumbfounded expression and smiled sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, it's quite a coincidence, but my child also loved clothes like these when she was little. Back then, I thought they were ugly and was afraid she'd be laughed at, so I never let her wear them. Later..."
Her hand unconsciously brushed gently over the brightly colored clothes until a tear fell onto her hand. She suddenly came to her senses, quickly wiped away the tear, and smiled as if to cover it up, saying, "So, later I wanted to make something she would like."
Zhuang You went from being surprised to speechless, with a strange "I knew it" expression on her face.
Chen Zhixian didn't understand why Zhuang You had that expression, then she thought of her child's reputation, and her eyes dimmed. She quickly said, "Miss, don't worry, I did all this after Yingying left, it won't be tainted..."
Seeing that Chen Zhixian had misunderstood, Zhuangyou quickly put away her strange expression and interrupted with a smile, "What are you saying, Consort Miaoliu? With such 'beautiful' clothes, our young mistress is overjoyed! How could she possibly dislike them?"
Chen Zhixian looked at Zhuang You in surprise, her dull eyes gradually regaining their light, her tears glistening with emotion. Since the birth of the Sixth Princess, she had never seen such an undisdainful gaze.
