Cha couldn't understand why Emperor Chongjin called it a beard, but the little girl, whose wish had been fulfilled, still obliged and stopped crying.
At this moment, the imperial carriage stopped in front of the Gantai Palace.
Emperor Chongjin dismounted from his carriage carrying Cha Nian. As soon as he entered the gate of Gantai Palace, the noisy commotion inside drew the little baby's attention.
Now the little girl completely forgot about crying. She turned her head to look at the messy hall. Her eyes, which had just been washed by tears, were exceptionally bright and clear, as if they contained sparkling stars. She blinked with curiosity.
When Emperor Chongjin looked down and saw this scene, his handsome face darkened, and he felt extremely aggrieved.
So, it turns out that with this little girl, all his words as emperor were less effective than the commotion of a few servants?
As Emperor Chongjin became displeased, his imperial might suddenly arose, and an invisible pressure seemed to shroud the entire Qiantai Palace.
The dragon whiskers in Xiaochan's hand were gone, replaced by a golden dragon circling around Emperor Chongjin. The little girl curiously reached out her little hand to touch the golden dragon.
At this moment, the chief eunuch Dejiang stepped forward and shouted sharply, which immediately silenced the noise in the room, leaving it quiet.
Then, a young eunuch quickly came out from inside and knelt before Emperor Chongjin to report.
"Your Majesty, not long after you left, a hidden arrow suddenly shot out, pierced through the window, and landed right where you were sitting."
In other words, if Emperor Chongjin hadn't gone out to find Cha Nian, he would have been hit by a hidden arrow, and his chances of survival would have been slim.
Everyone, including Emperor Anjing, couldn't help but gasp and break out in a cold sweat.
Emperor Chongjin's face immediately darkened, and his aura suddenly became sharp. "Who did this? Investigate!"
"Yes." The little eunuch trembled and scrambled back.
Amidst Emperor Chongjin's rage, everyone dared not utter a sound, except for the little dumpling Cha Nian, who was completely bewildered by what had happened.
The little girl turned her head and saw Emperor Chongjin's gloomy face, thinking that her crying had made her godfather angry.
The little dumpling pouted, her chubby cheeks softly rubbing against Chong Jindi's face. Her watery eyes sparkled, and she said in a childish voice, "Godfather, don't be angry. Then, then Niannian will wait a little longer before wanting a daddy. Godfather knows Niannian was bullied, so he'll go and stand up for Niannian. Niannian likes Godfather too!"
Emperor Chongjin felt his heart melt at the sound of the little girl's soft, sweet voice. If he hadn't gone to find Cha Nian, who had sneaked out, he would have been dead by now.
In truth, it was Cha Nian who saved his life.
Emperor Chongjin's expression softened, and he gently patted the delicate little dumpling, rubbing his stubble against her chubby cheeks. "Hmm, our Niannian is truly my little lucky star. I love Niannian too."
Xiao Chanian's face was pricked by Emperor Chongjin's stubble, and she pushed his face away in disgust. This coquettish little action did not displease Emperor Chongjin, but instead made him laugh loudly.
Emperor Chongjin carried the little girl into the study. Instead of letting Dejiang take Cha Nian away, he placed her on his lap and gently rubbed her soft, fine hair and head.
"Niannian, you're not allowed to sneak out anymore, understand? If you want to chase butterflies, just tell your wet nurse and she'll take you out to play." Emperor Chongjin's voice was gentle yet stern.
