The little girl, speaking in her adorably sweet voice, transformed her previously roguish manner into a soft, childlike tone, causing the women in the room, who had been puzzled just moments before, to burst into laughter.
The Empress Dowager, who was holding the little baby, laughed heartily at what Xiaocha read aloud, and looked at the soft little bundle nestled in her arms with even more affection.
Seeing the Empress Dowager so happy, Consort Xue chuckled and teased the little boy, "Oh? Does smelling nice make you a beauty? Who told you that?"
As she spoke, Consort Xue smiled radiantly and touched the little boy's soft hair with her nail-covered hand. When she pulled her hand back, she accidentally brushed the little boy's hair.
Cha Nian was originally laughing along with the Empress Dowager, but when her hair was suddenly shaved, she felt a little pain, pouted her chubby little face, and tilted her head to look at this smiling ugly aunt.
The sensitive little baby nestled softly into the Empress Dowager's arms, only showing half of its face as it looked at Consort Xue.
She disliked Consort Xue's smile, but she didn't know why, so she simply attributed it to her "ugliness."
But the little baby remembered her mother saying that a good baby is one who answers questions obediently when adults ask them questions, so she explained in her childish voice.
“My father often says to my mother, ‘You smell so good, you smell so good all over.’ My mother is a great beauty, and my grandmother smells good too, so my grandmother is a great beauty!”
The little girl confidently revealed all the secrets of her father, the brave and mighty prince.
The Empress Dowager laughed even harder upon hearing this, and Consort Xue and the women below also covered their mouths and burst into laughter. Even the palace servants who were serving slowly couldn't help but blush, purse their lips, lower their heads, and start shaking their shoulders.
The Empress Dowager, who had maintained a solemn demeanor for many years, had not laughed heartily like this in a long time. She even laughed until tears welled up in her eyes, which had been bothering her for several days. These tears subtly eased her dryness.
At that moment, Zhuangyou, who had caught up with the palace attendant, arrived outside the palace.
Hearing her little darling's soft, childish voice, she immediately covered her face and just wanted to turn around and leave.
Inside the house, the little boy finally saw An Miaolan, who was frozen in place.
After recognizing who it was, Cha Nian puffed out her cheeks, "You're that bad older sister who tried to kill Tiger Baby! You're not allowed to hurt Tiger Baby anymore, it doesn't bite people randomly anymore!"
The little boy's words shocked everyone present.
The Empress Dowager's smile faltered, and she couldn't help but become serious as she looked at the little boy. "My little darling, what did you say?"
Upon hearing this, the little boy tilted his head and looked at the Empress Dowager with a puzzled expression.
She just said a lot of things. Which sentence does the Empress Dowager want her to say?
Seeing this, Consort Xue smiled and asked, "Child, what just happened?"
Sure enough, as soon as I asked that question, the little boy knew how to answer and recounted the scene in his sweet, childish voice.
However, what this little boy said was somewhat different from what people actually experienced.
For example, when the little baby says in a sweet, childish voice, "Tiger Baby wants Nian Nian to protect Chang Yin Sister," it doesn't seem strange at all; on the contrary, it makes the little baby incredibly cute.
As for the two completely different accounts from Xiao Naibao and An Miaolan, before the Empress Dowager could even send someone to investigate, a palace maid rushed in, knelt down, and exclaimed joyfully, "We won't call her that anymore! Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, we won't call her that anymore!"
