The others were seeing this scene for the first time. People like Tong Youlin, who had no idea who the little girl's father was, could only sigh and say that city people are indeed well-educated and can make a lot of sense with just a few words!
As a minor county magistrate, Jia Wen didn't actually know who the "father" this chubby little princess was talking about was, but he vaguely remembered that she was a little princess, so her father must be... the emperor?
Your Majesty?!
Jia Wen swallowed the rebuttal that was on the tip of his tongue.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Liang Sheng's fawning voice ring out in a very obsequious manner:
"What a good princess! She remembers what the Prince said so clearly! What the Prince said makes perfect sense!"
Sure enough, Liang Sheng's words received strong agreement from the little boy.
The little silly baby, Cha Nian, immediately blinked her bright, sparkling eyes at him, full of joy. She nodded her little head vigorously and said in a childish voice, "Yes, yes!"
For Liang Sheng, this little rascal was cunning and difficult to please.
He was just looking for a good opportunity to please this little darling! Seeing that the little darling enjoyed listening, he immediately perked up, quickly putting on an exaggerated expression of admiration, and continued:
"Oh my, I never imagined that the Prince was not only brave and skilled in battle, but also so knowledgeable! Every word he utters is truly a gem!"
"Your Highness is truly a man of both literary and martial talents, which has broadened my horizons and made me completely concede defeat! After hearing the little princess's words, my admiration for Your Highness is boundless!"
"..."
Whether Liang Sheng's admiration for the Prince of Hengchang was truly boundless remains to be seen, but he certainly showered him with flattery.
Huo Chengche glanced at Liang Sheng and said in a cold voice, "What, Lord Liang admires the Prince so much that you want to go to the Northwest to serve?"
"No, no, no!" Liang Sheng's smile froze. He met Huo Chengche's cold and sharp eyes, shuddered in fright, and quickly dropped his fawning expression.
Huo Chengche sneered, "Lord Liang, there's no need to be so polite with me. Lord Liang is someone I take special care of. I can certainly fulfill your request, which comes from the bottom of my heart and is made with sincerity."
"I'll get you a vanguard position under the Prince of Hengchang tomorrow, how about that?" The young man bounced his little dumpling, his thin lips curving into a doting smile, his voice gentle and warm.
The leader?
With his thin physique, the Prefect of the Capital would be nothing more than a huge cannon fodder if he were to serve as a vanguard soldier.
Liang Sheng trembled and shook his head frantically, immediately professing his loyalty, "No, no, no, Your Highness, although I now also admire the Prince, in my heart, the one I admire most is of course Your Highness. Your Highness is wise and mighty, your majesty is like..."
"Alright." Huo Chengche lifted his eyelids, looking at Liang Sheng's sycophantic manner with considerable disdain. If it weren't for the fact that he was still somewhat useful, he would have banished him to some obscure corner long ago.
Upon hearing this, Liang Sheng immediately shut up, grinned, and wisely kept quiet.
The little dumpling nestled in Huo Chengche's arms, watching Liang Sheng flirt with his crown prince brother and forget about her again. She pouted her little mouth in grievance, snuggled into his neck, and whinely reminded her crown prince brother that she, the bright and lovely little one, was waiting to hear the second story!
