The little boy quickly burrowed into his sister Zhuangyou's arms and pretended to be dead.
The wet nurse was furious and kept saying, "Next time the little princess coughs, this old servant will not feel a single bit sorry for her!"
Even Zhuangyou didn't believe that, so how could the clever little dumpling believe it? Confidently nestled in Zhuangyou's arms, he rolled his eyes and looked at Nanny Jiang with watery eyes, saying in a childish voice, "Nanny, Nanny, Niannian wants to drink milk."
The wet nurse, with a dark expression, picked up the warmed milk that had been prepared that morning and fed the baby.
The little one was very well-behaved during her bath, quietly nestled in her little tub playing with her little wooden duck, and obediently letting her older sister, Zhuangyou, wash her hair.
Soon, the smelly little baby was taken out of the bathroom by Zhuangyou and tucked into the bed.
"It's getting late, little princess should go to sleep. Now that the little princess is in the palace, she can't stay in bed any longer."
The little dumpling pouted and whimpered, glancing at Zhuangyou and Fifth Brother who were guarding the bedside, before obediently closing his eyes.
Xuandi raised his hand and stroked Cha Nian's soft fur, then gently pinched her pretty little nose. "Fifth Brother will take Nian Nian out to play tomorrow. Nian Nian, you mustn't secretly tell Daddy on this."
The little dumpling blinked, her dimples deepening, and her soft, sweet voice said, "Okay! Fifth Brother will take me out to play, and Niannian won't tell Daddy."
It means that if I don't take her out to play, she will complain.
Xuan Di flicked her soft, chubby cheeks, then glanced at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, "You little rascal, you even know how to threaten your fifth brother! I've spoiled you for nothing!"
"Second brother said that fifth brother deserved what he got for not teaching Nian Nian proper things, and only thought of leading Nian Nian astray." The little dumpling pouted, brought up her second brother, and then whined in a childish voice, "Fifth brother was mean to Nian Nian again, and Nian Nian wanted another piece of candy before she would stop complaining."
"Hey, you little brat!" Xuan Di was so angry his teeth ached, but did he dare to talk back to his second brother?
He dared not.
But when faced with his younger sister's bright, mischievous eyes, Xuan Di could only swallow his anger, shut his mouth with a dark face, and tacitly agree.
The little dumpling got his way, kicking his short legs happily in the blankets, his dimples showing as he laughed heartily.
Xuan Di snorted and tapped her little head. "Niannian, you'd better behave yourself from now on. Don't let Fifth Brother catch you doing anything wrong, or he'll teach you a lesson! Humph."
The little dumpling giggled and quickly burrowed into the blankets, rolling to the very back and peeking out with his little head. He mischievously stuck out his little tongue at Xuandi, then immediately called out in his sweet, childish voice, "Niannian is going to sleep! Goodnight, Fifth Brother!"
Sure enough, Jiang's mother, who was busy outside, came in upon hearing this. When she saw Xuandi, her eyes clearly looked at some disobedient brat.
He stepped forward and blocked Xuan Di's path, coldly curtsied, and said reproachfully, "Fifth Young Master, it's already this late, the little princess should be asleep by now, and you should also return."
Xuandi was genuinely intimidated by the fierce-looking wet nurse. Moreover, the thought that these wet nurses and maids could directly contact his father made him feel inexplicably guilty and short of breath. He coughed awkwardly and slunk away.
Then, the smiling little baby was glared at by Nanny Jiang.
The little one timidly shrank into the blankets, quickly closed his eyes, and obediently went to sleep.
Zhuangyou smiled helplessly, pushed the wet nurse Jiang back to rest, and took the little baby out from the innermost part of the room. She made sure the baby had a good pillow, covered her with a blanket, and then gently patted her while humming a little tune.
