Meanwhile, Zhuangyou, who was in charge of feeding the baby, was outside the door. She pulled He Wan aside and whispered about Hua Xiao's situation, asking her to convey the message to the Empress Dowager and inquire about the Empress Dowager's opinion.
What does "Empress Dowager Meeting" mean?
He Wan, the head palace maid serving the Empress Dowager, knew the Empress Dowager's intentions best.
The Empress Dowager only took care of the little girl out of pity. If she really dared to have such thoughts and try to associate herself with the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince of Hengchang, then whether it was for the sake of the little boy, her grandson, or the Fifth Prince of Hengchang, the Empress Dowager would never tolerate it.
He Wan quickly pulled Zhuang You aside, her face apologetic, and said with a smile, "Miss Zhuang You, what are you saying? What 'young mistress'? She is the illegitimate daughter of the Imperial Son-in-Law, how could she receive any bestowed title? It was only because our Empress Dowager felt sorry for her that she raised her status. We can't let her take advantage of this favor!"
Zhuangyou didn't blame them. Even she had misjudged them at first, let alone the Empress Dowager who had only met Hua Xiao once.
"In that case, I understand," Zhuangyou replied with a smile.
He Wan wanted to say something more to Zhuang You, but then she saw the little palace maid serving in the room quickly come out.
Upon seeing the two, the young palace maid quickened her pace and curtsied to Zhuangyou, saying, "Sister Zhuangyou, please go inside quickly. Your Fifth Young Master is calling for you!"
"Called me?" Zhuang You was taken aback. She thought about it carefully and realized that every time the Fifth Young Master called her before, it never seemed to be anything good.
No, it's because the Fifth Young Master has never had a good time! He's either causing trouble with their little princess, or he's bullied someone and can't be appeased, so they have to frantically shove the child into her hands.
Upon hearing this, He Wan quickly said, "Then you should go quickly. I'll talk to the Empress Dowager later. You should do whatever you need to do with that girl. Don't hold back. If it's really difficult to take action, just come and find me."
Seeing He Wan's serious demeanor, Zhuang You smiled gently, "Alright, I'm relieved to hear that from you, sister."
Zhuangyou followed the palace maid into the hall. As soon as she entered, she saw two people who were once again in a tense standoff.
These two are really something...
Zhuang You walked up with a helpless expression, looked at her fifth young master's dark face, and said softly and gently, "Fifth young master, did you call me?"
When Xuan Di saw Zhuang You arrive, he immediately raised his chin and looked at Huo Chengche provocatively, "Quickly, the person who feeds the baby is here. Your Highness, why don't you give Niannian to her!"
A person who specifically feeds babies?
Zhuangyou stared at the finger Xuandi was pointing at her with, completely speechless. She... she really did seem to be someone who specialized in feeding babies.
Having received orders from her fifth young master, Zhuangyou had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Huo Chengche for the person.
It wasn't that she was afraid of this sesame-filled little prince, but rather that the little prince's aura at this moment was just a bit... Sitting there, his handsome face was cold and imposing, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his aura was self-contained, and his whole body seemed to be emitting a dark and cold aura.
Huo Chengche merely glanced at Zhuang You before his deep gaze returned to Xuan Di.
Suddenly, the displeased-looking young man with a dark face broke into a wicked and mocking smile.
Xuandi immediately sensed something was wrong and toned down his provocative expression.
Huo Chengche held the little girl tightly, slowly and methodically putting a bib around her neck. As he spoke, he deliberately used his uniquely clear and magnetic voice, "Niannian is your own sister, why is Fifth Young Master acting like this?"
As he spoke, he deliberately leaned close to Xuandi in front of the Empress Dowager, pretending to whisper something. Meeting the furrow between Xuandi's brows, he smiled playfully and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Good boy, I'll feed you when we get back."
