The Empress Dowager's sudden words immediately drew the attention of Emperor Chongjin and his son Huo Chengche, who were still shaken.
Emperor Chongjin asked in surprise, "Does Your Majesty mean that your asthma suddenly improved just now because Nian Nian massaged your acupoints?"
Huo Chengche looked at the little baby in the Empress Dowager's arms, blinking his big, bright eyes, looking innocent and naive, and couldn't help but smile.
"Niannian is such a lucky charm. She can press the right spot with just a casual gesture. I wonder if Imperial Physician Yuan, who has been afflicted with this ailment for the Empress Dowager for many years, will be so frustrated that he will beat his chest in frustration upon hearing this news."
The Empress Dowager listened to Huo Chengche's words, glared at him with lingering anger, and then said, "This is not something that can be done randomly; I can tell the difference."
Over the years, the Imperial Medical Academy has sent many female physicians to give the Empress Dowager acupuncture and massage. The Empress Dowager can naturally tell whether the little boy's massage just now was random or if there was a technique involved.
The Empress Dowager looked down at the adorable little baby in her arms and asked affectionately, "Niannian didn't press the acupoints randomly, right? You only started pressing them because you saw that Grandma Empress Dowager was panting, right?"
The little dumpling looked up at the Empress Dowager's face, which had regained its rosy hue, smiled sweetly with her dimples, nodded vigorously, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Yes, Daddy told Niannian that Grandma Empress Dowager is not well, and if she has difficulty breathing, Niannian should press here."
As she spoke, the little boy raised his hand and pointed to the Empress Dowager's chest, which was the acupoint she had just pressed.
"Did your father teach you this?" Emperor Chongjin was surprised again, then frowned, his eyes flickering, before asking calmly, "Why did your father think of teaching you this? Does anyone in your family also have asthma?"
Asthma can strike at any time and can be quite frightening. If someone has this condition, it is usually impossible to hide it. For example, the Empress Dowager had asthma since childhood, as anyone who wanted to find out would know.
Emperor Chongjin remembered that the children in the Hengchang Prince's Mansion were all incredibly healthy, and even the youngest little baby showed no signs of having asthma. As for his princess, although she was pampered, he had never heard of her having any illness.
Why would the Prince of Hengchang, who was perfectly healthy, teach his daughter how to treat asthma?
As Emperor Chongjin was lost in thought, he heard the soft, sweet voice of the little baby.
"My daddy said that Niannian will be living at Grandma's house from now on. It's not good to just freeload and live there for free. I need to have a skill!" The little dumpling said, patting her chest proudly with a smile.
Emperor Chongjin: ...Only this shameless prince could explain how to please the Empress Dowager in such a simple and easy-to-understand way.
After hearing what the little boy said, the Empress Dowager and Huo Chengche exchanged a glance, and the two of them smiled helplessly, looking at the proud little silly baby with amusement.
The little baby tilted his head back, blinking his round, bright eyes repeatedly, looking at the adults' various expressions with great confusion.
However, she quickly put it out of her mind and continued proudly, "Father always keeps his word. He said that after I went to Grandma Dowager's side, I would definitely be able to use this often. Father really didn't lie to Niannian!"
He said that once I'm with my grandmother, I'll definitely be able to use this often...
Emperor Chongjin had just taken a sip of tea when he heard the little boy's words, and he spat out the entire mouthful of tea.
