"Niannian wants to be lifted high!" The little dumpling looked at the happy Emperor Chongjin and took the opportunity to make her request, kicking her little legs. Although she didn't know why her godfather was so happy.
"Okay, lift him up high." Emperor Chongjin was now completely compliant with the little baby's every whim. Upon hearing Cha Nian's request, he agreed without hesitation and did as she asked.
Immediately, the little boy's cheerful laughter rang out in the yard, wave after wave.
Today, Emperor Chongjin is unusually patient, and the usually dignified and serious emperor actually smiled?
Everyone, including Huo Chengche, was stunned.
After Emperor Chongjin finished coaxing the little girl, he met the surprised look from his own son, and even the usually calm and reserved emperor felt a little embarrassed.
He awkwardly suppressed his smile, coughed twice to regain his composure, and then asked in a serious tone, "What happened just now? Why was it so noisy? I heard it all from the Imperial Study."
Seeing that his father had finally thought of the important matter, Huo Chengche sneered and his cold gaze swept over the wet nurses kneeling and prostrating in the courtyard.
However, Huo Chengche didn't actually need to put pressure on them; these wet nurses were already terrified and looked ashen-faced.
Princess Fuying looks remarkably like the jinxed sixth princess, doesn't she? How could she possibly be the reincarnation of the little lucky star?!
They had never seen His Majesty show such affection for any prince or princess before! He had even just personally acknowledged that Princess Fuying was a lucky charm?!
Isn't it said that His Majesty has always disliked His Highness the Crown Prince?
Why are you so happy to see His Highness the Crown Prince awake! This doesn't seem like you dislike the Crown Prince at all!
Following Huo Chengche's gaze, Emperor Chongjin saw the four wet nurses in the courtyard and immediately made a guess.
Huo Chengche's cold voice rang out, "Your Majesty, when Niannian woke up, she couldn't find anyone and cried for a long time, but no one paid any attention. I was awakened by the crying and brought Niannian out to look for her, only to find these few wicked servants hiding here gossiping."
Huo Chengche did not tell Emperor Chongjin that he had woken up early in the morning, but said that he was woken up by the tea.
However, Xiao Chanian didn't catch the hidden meaning in Huo Chengche's words; she was busy complaining in her childish voice.
"Godfather, is Niannian a little jinx?" the little girl asked, wrapping her arms around Emperor Chongjin's neck with a pitiful expression.
"Of course not!" Emperor Chongjin's face darkened, and his sharp gaze swept directly at the wet nurses in the courtyard. "Which scoundrel said such a thing? Niannian is my little lucky star. My words are law, who dares to speak nonsense!"
"This servant knows her mistake! This servant knows her mistake..."
The wet nurses had long lost the arrogance they had displayed when they were gossiping. They kowtowed repeatedly, admitting their mistakes.
But Xiaocha Nian was thinking about her sister Zhuangyou, and she pouted with a wronged look, "But they said that Sister Zhuangyou was stabbed to death and thrown into the Imperial Hospital because she was looking for Nian Nian. Nian Nian wants Sister Zhuangyou..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in the little dumpling's watery eyes, and golden beans rolled down her cheeks one by one.
Emperor Chongjin's heart ached at the sight. He quickly patted her back and gently coaxed her, "Niannian, don't cry. They're just talking nonsense. Zhuangyou and the wet nurse only suffered minor injuries. I was worried that their injuries would frighten Niannian, so I had them go to the Imperial Hospital to get bandaged up first."
As he spoke, Emperor Chongjin looked at Dejiang and said, "Send someone to the Imperial Hospital to check if Princess Fuying's head maid and wet nurse have finished preparing. They should return to serve her as soon as possible."
