"Wake up." The little baby's voice was thick with sleepiness. He whimpered softly and snuggled into Zhuangyou's arms before finally managing to open his eyes a crack.
Looking at the unusually fussy little one today, Zhuangyou sighed helplessly, "Little princess, do you know you don't need enough sleep now?"
The little boy buried his head in her shoulder and whimpered in his baby voice.
Helpless, Zhuangyou coaxed the little baby to get up, wash, and change into pretty little clothes.
Jiang, the wet nurse, with a dark expression, rudely blocked Huo Chengche from entering.
"Since Your Highness has taken on the important responsibility of caring for our little princess, you must get used to the many inconveniences involved. If Your Highness is really dissatisfied, just let this old servant carry our little princess back to Qinghua Tower. His Majesty will surely understand and will not blame Your Highness."
As expected, Huo Chengche was rebuffed by Nanny Jiang. With a helpless smile, he had no choice but to go to the study instead of returning to his room.
However, when it was time for breakfast, when Nanny Jiang brought over the listless little baby who hadn't had enough sleep and was perched on her shoulder, she saw that a certain uninvited prince was already sitting at the table.
Upon seeing the little boy arrive, he naturally reached out to him, smiling gently, "Niannian's here?"
Seeing Huo Chengche's actions, Nanny Jiang really wanted to take off her shoes and slap him across the face.
He was clearly waiting for them to hand their little princess over to him, but instead of asking any questions, he just took action.
Jiang, the wet nurse, glared angrily at Huo Chengche, wishing she could just walk right past him.
Seeing this, Zhuangyou quickly nudged her, "Nanny, it's just feeding her, why are you getting so worked up? The wicked will be punished by the wicked."
Reminded by Zhuangyou, Jiang the wet nurse was taken aback, but her expression immediately improved. Contrary to her usual behavior, she smiled and personally handed the little baby to Huo Chengche.
The crown prince, who should have been gloating over his success, suddenly felt something was off when he saw the smiling eyes of the wet nurse, Jiang. For a moment, the arm holding the little baby stiffened.
The boy paused slightly, looking down at the sleepy little bundle in his arms. She was still that soft and adorable little pink ball. The more innocent and naive the little girl seemed to him, the brighter the smile on the wet nurse's face became when he looked up at her.
The little baby rolled his head, and the little bells on his bun rang out, their clear, melodious sounds adding to his adorable appearance.
Seeing that Zhuangyou and the nanny had stepped aside, the little boy's dimples deepened, and he obediently snuggled into Huo Chengche's arms, tilting his head up and whispering, "Crown Prince, where's Niannian's candy?"
Huo Chengche looked at the little baby who had just woken up and was looking for candy, smiled helplessly, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a small white ball in front of him, and put it into the little baby's mouth.
The little one took a sniff as usual, and the fresh, crisp, and sweet aroma of pears wafted up to him.
The little girl couldn't help but swallow hard, and eagerly opened her mouth to snatch the small ball in one bite. She chewed and chewed, finding it not overly sweet, but refreshing and pleasantly sweet, with a lingering sweet aftertaste.
It was very chewy, but not sticky. After chewing for a short while, the little ball had completely melted in my mouth.
The little dumpling had never eaten such delicious candy before. After finishing one candy, he was already full of energy and turned his head in surprise to look for more candies.
Sure enough, on the small plate in front of her, she saw a plate of colorful little balls, each about the size of her fingertip, round and plump, some red, some white, some pink... so cute and pretty!
