These wet nurses were transferred from the princes' quarters to take their place after Huo Chengche accidentally fell into the water and the original wet nurses were punished by Emperor Chongjin.
When they were at the prince's residence, they had never seen such a scene before.
The thirteen-year-old prince stood alone in the courtyard, yet his imposing presence was enough to make all the maids in the courtyard unable to lift their heads. He was aloof, noble, indifferent, and cold, exuding an aura of decisive ruthlessness.
Even the sixteen-year-old eldest prince did not possess such an aura of dominance over the world.
As expected, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, incomparable to ordinary princes.
At this moment, a young eunuch from the imperial court came over. It must have been Emperor Chongjin, who was in the main hall, who heard the commotion and sent someone over to see what was going on.
"What's all this commotion about? It's disturbing His Highness the Crown Prince and the little princess..."
The young eunuch reprimanded her harshly, but when he turned the corner and saw Huo Chengche holding Niannian in the courtyard, he was stunned and fell silent.
With a clatter, the whisk in the little eunuch's hand fell to the ground.
However, the sound also startled the dazed eunuch. Before anyone could react, the eunuch took off running back, excitedly shouting, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! His Highness the Crown Prince is awake! His Highness the Crown Prince is awake!!"
"Hahaha……"
A clear, bell-like laugh rang out. It was the cheerful, lively little girl, Cha Nian, who was completely oblivious to what had happened. She looked at the little eunuch's comical appearance and giggled incessantly.
Huo Chengche gently bounced the giggling little girl in his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Little girl, is it that funny?"
The little girl wasn't stupid; she sensed the slight disdain in Huo Chengche's words. She pouted, clenched her little fist, and said in a cute but fierce tone, "Funny!"
Huo Chengche's eyes were full of affection, and he said in a gentle but helpless voice, "Okay, Niannian is right."
The little dumpling then hummed contentedly twice, signifying that she had generously forgiven Huo Chengche.
As they were talking, Emperor Chongjin arrived in a hurry.
When Huo Chengche looked up and saw Emperor Chongjin, his expression stiffened for a moment, but it was fleeting, as if it were an illusion.
The young man slightly turned his head, avoiding Emperor Chongjin's gaze, and concealed his sharp and imposing aura. He bowed lightly and said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongjin looked at the young man in front of him, his throat tightened for a moment, and the words that were about to come out were blocked.
He paused for a moment, then awkwardly turned his raised hand to pat the boy's shoulder. "Good, good, it's good that you're awake..."
At the end of his sentence, he let out a barely audible sigh, as if he had breathed a long sigh of relief.
Upon hearing Emperor Chongjin's words, Huo Chengche froze for a moment before slowly raising his head to meet Emperor Chongjin's deep gaze.
"Godfather!" Little Tea Nian called out in a childish voice, interrupting the strange father and son.
Emperor Chongjin looked down and met the little boy's dark, sparkling eyes, which blinked like stars in the sky.
Emperor Chongjin's heart melted. He picked up the little bundle of joy and bounced it around in his arms as if it were a rare treasure. He laughed loudly, "Haha, little Niannian is indeed a reincarnated lucky star!"
The appearance of this little baby was like a ray of light, shining on everyone who came near her, bringing hope to all their bad luck and sweeping away their anxieties.
Just yesterday, Emperor Chongjin was still racking his brains over the Crown Prince's unconscious state and the elusive whereabouts of the assassins and rebels. But today, this little girl entered the palace, chased a butterfly, took a nap, and solved all his problems!
Is there anyone more blessed than her?!
