The Imperial Preceptor Changxu really wanted to say that, and the words were already on the tip of his tongue, but Huo Chengche suddenly blocked him. Now he was caught between saying it and not saying it, and he was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off.
This little prince...
A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes, but the aftershocks revealed a faint, lingering sense of apprehension.
fear?
Normally, Huo Chengche would not have noticed these subtle emotions of the Grand Preceptor Changxu.
However, today, Huo Chengche had been paying close attention to the expression of the Grand Preceptor Changxu. Upon seeing this scene, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.
Grand Preceptor Changxu's beard twitched, and he chuckled twice before saying, "Look at what the Crown Prince is saying. This old Taoist is also meeting Niannian for the first time, and I have no reason to lie."
Huo Chengche looked at the Grand Preceptor Changxu, who was trying to gloss over the matter, and sneered, "Grand Preceptor, you are mistaken. How much does Nian Nian know? Grand Preceptor Changxu has so many things to deal with in a single day. Who knows what else he has to do today?"
"What...what are you saying!" Even the Grand Preceptor Changxu, facing the powerful Huo Chengche, began to feel uneasy, cold sweat broke out, and his eyes began to dart around.
The three little bundles of joy stood together, holding hands, looking up at their elder brother, the Crown Prince, with stars twinkling in their eyes.
Especially Wenlian and Changyin, these princesses and royal women all have great awe and fear of these national advisors. They can be arrogant and willful, but if these national advisors say a bad word about them, their lives will probably be ruined forever.
Isn't that "jinxed sixth princess" a perfect example?
However, as the pampered little darling of Hengchang, Cha Nian Little Milk Bun is not afraid of any national advisor at all.
What is a "National Preceptor"? Can you eat him/her?
It sounds like it must taste awful!
The little dumpling looked at the guilty-looking Grand Tutor, tilted his head back proudly, and hummed in a childish voice, echoing him.
"Yes, yes! Niannian is a good girl, she never lies! My father said that adults can't lie either, and it has nothing to do with status! Don't think that just because you're the Imperial Advisor you can lie! Hmph!"
When the little dumpling said something unintentionally, Huo Chengche glanced down and caught the gaze of the other two little ones. The fear and awe they showed towards the Imperial Preceptor instantly made the coldness around Huo Chengche cool down several times over.
A sharp gaze swept across the room like a blade, pressing directly on the Imperial Preceptor Changxu. "Niannian is right. How can the Imperial Preceptor lie? Especially matters of good or bad fortune, which should not be casually spoken by the Imperial Preceptor, should they?"
"Your Highness!" The Imperial Preceptor Changxu was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. These two children, one big and one small, had put Jing on the hot seat with just a few words.
As the imperial advisor, you speak recklessly about good and bad fortune. If this matter is not clarified today, it could be a matter of life and death!
Suddenly, the Grand Preceptor Changxu's eyes lit up, his momentum returned, and he retorted confidently, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Everything I have said is true. Moreover, this rumor is not just something I have said alone. There have been rumors in Hengchang for a long time. Could it be that everyone in Hengchang is lying?"
"Heh," Huo Chengche sneered, his voice low and chilling, as if wrapped in the deepest ice of the underworld, striking heavily on the heart of the Grand Preceptor of Changxu. A chilling aura instantly spread throughout his body.
When the Grand Preceptor Changxu looked up, he met Huo Chengche's murderous aura and his heart trembled. He had a feeling that something was wrong.
