Huo Chengche's words were not only for the little boy, but also for Princess Linhuang.
Princess Linhuang was about to blurt out a suggestion, such as taking the little one to her residence for some cakes today, when Huo Chengche's words shut her up.
Huo Chengche didn't give Princess Linhuang a chance to speak again, and said directly, "Alright, Niannian, quickly thank Aunt Linhuang for the snacks. We should go to the Empress Dowager's for dinner now, so as not to keep her waiting."
Huo Chengche glanced at Princess Linhuang indifferently, bouncing the little baby to remind her, and also to remind Princess Linhuang.
"Okay!" The little boy obediently agreed, and immediately lost his previous resistance to Princess Linhuang. He even thanked her in a childish voice, showing that he had been completely won over by the box of pastries from Princess Linhuang.
However, just like Cheng Yilan and the Grand Preceptor Changxu just now, Princess Linhuang would not let the two leave so easily. Moreover, compared to the two, Princess Linhuang, who was always arrogant, had more confidence than them.
Huo Chengche had just said goodbye to her and hadn't even left when she suddenly stopped him.
"Aunt, is there anything else?" Huo Chengche's face darkened as he coldly stared at Princess Linhuang, completely abandoning his previous polite demeanor and exuding a sharp and imposing aura.
"This prince, this prince..." Princess Linhuang was startled by the young man's imposing aura. Her little nephew had become so imposing in just a few days.
However, seeing the little boy sniffing the food box, Princess Linhuang felt a surge of confidence and said with a smile:
"I noticed that Niannian really enjoys the pastries made by the chefs in my household. How about I speak to the Empress Dowager and ask the children to come back to my household for dinner? To be honest, I only have one daughter, Fende. It's been a long time since the children have made a fuss in my household. I'm really missing them."
His words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence, and by the end, he was almost in tears.
Seeing Princess Linhuang's affectionate appearance, Huo Chengche was momentarily bewildered. Was Princess Linhuang putting on an act, or had she really had a change of heart and just wanted to win over Niannian and liven up the mansion?
He looked down at the little baby in his arms and saw that the little girl seemed to sense Princess Linhuang's sadness. Her eyes, which had been fixed on the food box, had returned to their normal state. Her round eyes were looking at Princess Linhuang, blinking gently, with the sweet and innocent look of a baby.
"Aunt Linhuang, don't be sad. The Empress Dowager also likes children. We have dinner with the Empress Dowager every night. If you also like babies, you can come and have dinner with us!"
The little girl comforted Princess Linhuang in her sweet, childlike voice. After speaking, she gave Princess Linhuang a sweet, gentle smile, looking extremely well-behaved and adorable.
Of course, Princess Linhuang was not in the mood to look at the little boy's adorable appearance at this moment; the sentimentality that had just welled up in her heart vanished instantly.
This little girl, it would have been better if she hadn't said anything at all. She doesn't need her comforting words; what she needs is for her to go back to the mansion with her!
Princess Linhuang looked into the innocent eyes of the little boy, and the smile on her face almost disappeared. This little thing, when it comes to blocking people, is even more vicious than Huo Chengche!
