Hua Xiao was shocked and stunned, her eyes filled with fear and panic. She quickly said, "No, no, this servant wouldn't dare. Miss has misunderstood. I... I am not the county princess's sister. I... I am just a servant in the princess's mansion."
"Huh?" The little boy tilted his head in confusion. "Didn't you just say you were the daughter of Lord Fende, the Lady of Fende County? You're older than her, so you're her older sister, aren't you?"
Hua Xiao smiled bitterly and said softly, "Miss, you misunderstand. My mother and I are just servants in the princess's mansion. How could we dare to call the county magistrate's daughter our sister?"
"Hmm?" The little boy was even more confused.
However, apart from the little boy, everyone else understood what was going on, and their expressions were all grim.
A look of disgust flashed in Huo Chengche's eyes. He reached out and pulled the little baby back into his arms. Looking at Hua Xiao, he frowned and sighed, "So, your presence here today was orchestrated by the Princess?"
Hua Xiao lowered her head and nodded gently.
Huo Chengche's eyes darkened, a fierce and ruthless glint flashing within them.
"And what about your father? Does he know?" Huo Chengche's tone was calm, but his imposing manner was unmistakable.
Hua Xiao quickly shook her head, "Father... he doesn't know. I heard from the Celestial Master that he was supposed to come today, but something came up at the last minute, so he... he couldn't come..."
As for who made him "have something come up" and couldn't come, everyone knows the answer.
Zhuang You listened, her anger mixed with shock. "This princess is truly vicious and cruel. Does she want the prince consort to eat the elixir made by her own daughter?"
The little girl looked up, and her height clearly revealed the loneliness in her eyes.
"Sister Hua Xiao, don't be sad. Niannian will play with you from now on, okay?" The little boy ran over, took Hua Xiao's skinny little hand, looked up at her, and said in a childish voice.
Hua Xiao looked down and met the little boy's clear, innocent eyes, which were filled with bright, sparkling smiles, pure and adorable.
The little girl felt a sudden warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears. She nodded, "Okay, Miss Niannian, can you... can you take me back? I... I can do anything, I... I don't want to go back to the Princess's residence..."
As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with hope as she looked at the little boy and the boy behind him who was holding her belly.
Zhuang You also looked at Huo Chengche and tentatively asked, "Your Highness, is it alright?"
The palace has strict rules, and not just anyone can enter.
However, no matter how strict the rules were, they couldn't overcome the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's favoritism.
"Brother Crown Prince! Please! Niannian wants to take Sister Huaxiao back! So that bad people won't bully her anymore!" The little dumpling snuggled into the boy's arms, tilting her head back and staring at him with her bright, dark eyes, looking like a spoiled little thing.
The little dumpling is so cute and clingy, would Huo Chengche let his little wife be unhappy over such a small thing?
Of course not!
“Alright, Niannian can take her back if she wants, but we need to tell your grandmother first.” Huo Chengche caught the little baby who rushed towards him, skillfully supporting her soft, plump bottom and patting it gently.
"Okay!" The little boy immediately agreed obediently, his sweet little voice echoing in the room.
Then, Huo Chengche's arms were empty.
The little dumpling, having gotten what he wanted, immediately grew tired of the old and started jumping out of the prince's arms with a kick of his short legs. He happily ran to his new friend, Sister Hua Xiao, and took her little hand.
