Huo Chengche looked at Liang Sheng, who couldn't muster any flattery or smile, and smiled with satisfaction, "Then I won't disturb Lord Liang from seizing the 'opportunity' and making a 'great contribution'."
As he turned around, he saw Master Wang huddled in the corner, trembling with fear. His expression turned cold. "Fu Man, take this man away and lock him in the East Palace prison. Keep a close eye on him."
"Yes," Fu Man replied, then after a moment's thought, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, should we keep the news under wraps to avoid alerting the enemy?"
"Just be careful, but don't be too deliberate, or you'll attract attention."
"yes."
Having received the message, Fu Man, along with the eunuch, gagged Wang, the troupe leader, and took him away. Liang Sheng, with a long face, huddled to the side like a quail, not daring to utter a sound, fearing that the young prince might remember something else before leaving and dump it on him.
Finally, under Liang Sheng's expectant gaze, the little prince with sesame filling left without saying another word to him.
The moment Huo Chengche stepped out of the Jingzhao Prefecture government office, Liang Sheng wished he could set off firecrackers to celebrate, and was so excited that he almost cried tears of joy.
Liang Sheng is unaware that because of his loose tongue today, thinking he could fool this half-grown prince, from now on, whenever a prince thinks of him and kindly invites him to "visit and comfort" him, Liang Sheng will be plagued by nightmares and lose clumps of hair after returning home.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
When Huo Chengche returned to the carriage with the little baby in his arms, his complexion was still excellent.
Although the little girl didn't quite understand what was going on, that didn't stop her from taking the opportunity to make demands.
"Crown Prince, Niannian wants to eat braised duck for dinner!" The little dumpling swallowed greedily, snuggled in Huo Chengche's arms, and said in a childish voice.
Huo Chengche's usually stern and serious expression froze for a moment. His brows furrowed slightly as he patted the little boy's bottom, who was trying to take advantage of the situation.
"Didn't you already eat lunch? When Niannian had that extra bite, she said she wouldn't eat any braised meat for the next few days, which is why I agreed to let you have that extra bite. Niannian, are you trying to go back on your word so quickly?"
The little dumpling pouted, looked at his uncompromising older brother, the Crown Prince, and whimpered pitifully, "Your Highness has a new love, so stop nagging me!"
Huo Chengche choked abruptly, his head throbbing as he glared at the little girl in his arms. "Wh-what?"
The little dumpling pouted pitifully, whining and saying in a cute but fierce tone, "After Crown Prince got that Uncle Liang, he doesn't like Niannian anymore! Then why is Crown Prince still holding Niannian? Crown Prince should bring Uncle Liang back!"
As she spoke, the little dumpling looked incredibly aggrieved, her little mouth pouting so much it could hang an oil bottle on it. With a kick of her short legs, she stuck out her little bottom and tried to crawl out, saying, "Crown Prince Brother doesn't like Niannian anymore, Niannian wants Sister Zhuangyou to hold her!"
Although the carriage was moving, it was an ordinary family's carriage that Fu Man had specially found. The carriage walls were open, and the little baby's soft and sweet voice could be heard floating out.
At this moment, everyone outside had their heads down and their shoulders were shaking. They were probably all feeling incredibly fortunate that a certain prince was sitting inside the carriage while they were outside.
Zhuangyou listened to her little darling's pitiful, soft voice and covered her mouth, almost laughing out loud. She didn't even need to look to guess what the person inside looked like.
Upon hearing the little boy's instructions, she quickly walked to the carriage. "Sister Zhuangyou is here. Don't be sad, little princess. It's okay that His Highness the Crown Prince has found someone new. We'll ignore him. Sister Zhuangyou is always here. Come and let Sister Zhuangyou hug you!"
