When Miao'er heard Mu Wanji say that she was going to Gantai Palace, she was taken aback for a moment, then quickly followed and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is probably busy with state affairs right now and won't have any free time. Why don't we go to the Empress Dowager's palace? The Xue family is all there."
Mu Wanji curled her red lips into a cold smile, "The Empress Dowager? She's spent her whole life in the palace, what tricks hasn't she seen? Do you think she can be fooled by us?"
As she spoke, she lifted her eyelids and sneered, "Besides, our Empress Dowager loves her grandson the most. No matter how badly the Xue family has done something, just because Xue Shi has given birth to two princes for the Emperor, the Empress Dowager will side with her. Going to the Empress Dowager will only make big things small and small things disappear."
Miao'er nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty is right. The Consort always bullies Your Majesty because of her rank. This time, let her taste her own medicine. Our Emperor is always impartial and will never show favoritism to her. If he is going to show favoritism, it will be to Your Majesty."
Miao'er's words struck a chord with Mu Wanji, and her smile deepened.
But her smile quickly faded.
Mu Wanji was suddenly bumped from behind by a little palace maid. Before she could get angry, she heard a string of giggles from a little baby.
She turned around and saw that while they were talking, the palace maids she had sent to catch the little baby had been completely fooled by the little baby.
"What's going on!" Mu Wanji shouted angrily.
This story begins when Mu Wanji had just ordered people to capture the little boy.
Upon receiving the order, the palace maids and eunuchs immediately rushed forward menacingly, forming a circle around the wall where the little boy was standing, threatening him fiercely, "Get down here right now! There are so many of us here, do you think you can get away?"
"Hurry up and get down yourself, so you don't fall and get hurt!"
...
The little boy saw that Mu Wanji wouldn't listen to any explanations, so how could he not know what his aunt was up to?
Looking down at those menacing-looking people, she pouted, her little mouth twitching with a fierce yet adorable expression, "You big bad guys! Niannian won't listen to bad people! You can't catch me!"
As he spoke, the little boy huffed and puffed, taking short strides and sprinting along the wall towards Mu Wanji.
These palace maids and eunuchs had never seen such a capable little baby before. They stared dumbfounded at Xiao Chanian, who was running away along the wall, and it took them a while to react before they hurriedly chased after her.
The wall was so high that even if people stood on top of each other, they couldn't touch the little baby. Plus, the little baby was walking on the narrow eaves as if it were flat ground, and ran as fast as the wind. The people just looked up and ran after him, shouting as they ran, like idiots.
As a result, a palace maid accidentally bumped into Mu Wanji.
The little dumpling looked at the group of people running back and forth following her and found it all very funny. She giggled happily, then took off running back on her short legs.
Looking down, the little dumpling met Mu Wanji's sinister and sharp gaze. She mischievously tugged at her cheeks, stuck out her little tongue, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Silly aunties, you can't catch Niannian! Niannian isn't stupid, she won't stand still and let you catch her! Hmph!"
The problem is, aren't most kids that age a little simpleton? They're easily scared and stand there crying. But who's like this little devil, who can shut you up and make you laugh at him?
