"Father, I think it's the first time the people from the Hengchang Prince's Mansion have taken care of Niannian on their own, and they seem to be a little overwhelmed," the boy said, feigning concern, and gave Zhuangyou a very "understanding" look.
Zhuangyou's eyelids twitched. She had a feeling that this young master was just like the other young masters in their manor, full of bad intentions.
Sure enough, after Emperor Chongjin nodded in agreement, Huo Chengche continued:
“Since Prince Hengchang and his sons took care of Niannian personally when she was in the Prince’s residence, she shouldn’t be treated badly now that she’s in our palace. Father is busy with many affairs of state and has no time to spare, so I will help take care of Niannian as a way of thanking this little girl for the good fortune she has brought me.”
Emperor Chongjin found this reasonable and immediately nodded, "Che'er is right. Niannian is smart, lively, and sensible. She won't hold you back. I trust you to do things."
Upon hearing this, Zhuangyou knew exactly what this young master was planning!
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!" she hurriedly interjected, curtsying with a faint smile. "However, everything is difficult at the beginning. I was negligent this time, but I will be more careful in the future and will never make the same mistake again. There is no need for Your Highness to trouble yourself."
Nanny Jiang smiled and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, besides, His Highness the Crown Prince is busy with his studies, and our little princess is at the age where she should be playing every day. What if we delay His Highness's studies?"
It was rare to see the usually stern-faced Nanny Jiang smiling sheepishly; after all, no matter what, it was she who hadn't kept a good eye on the person, so it was no wonder she felt guilty.
But right now, Nanny Jiang was so angry that she wanted to pick up the little baby and ask her how a three-year-old could be so capable!
She's breastfed so many babies, and she's never seen a little one who can climb out of the second-floor window in the middle of the night. Why doesn't her little darling just go straight to heaven?
Huo Chengche looked at the two men who were guarding against him like wolves and smiled faintly, "It's alright, Niannian can play in the palace during the day. At night, I'll be watching over her, and if she sleeps soundly, you'll sleep peacefully too, right? Don't worry about not being able to find little Niannian when you wake up in the morning."
Ha, they're already in the wolf's den, so there's really no need to worry about our little darling being caught by the big bad wolf!
Looking at Huo Chengche's serious face, Zhuangyou really wanted to spit on him on behalf of her little darling.
How can all men be so shameless! They really are all the same!
When Nanny Jiang heard this, she also became anxious.
How can I not be anxious! My own precious little cabbage is about to be taken by someone else!
"No, no, no, this old servant will definitely guard the little princess every night from now on and will never repeat the same mistake! There's no need to trouble Your Highness!"
"I don't need to study all the time, or I'd become a bookworm," Huo Chengche retorted once again with a nonchalant air.
“How can we expect Nanny Jiang and Miss Zhuangyou to stay up every night? Besides, what if they accidentally doze off one night? Wouldn’t that be a thankless task? I can hold Xiao Niannian to sleep, and it won’t cause any problems. She doesn’t take up much space anyway.”
"This, this is not allowed! Your Highness, you cannot joke like this. Men and women should not touch each other. How can Your Highness hold our little princess while she sleeps!"
Jiang, the wet nurse, stared wide-eyed at the Crown Prince, who was seriously talking about holding the little girl to sleep. She thought to herself, how could there be such a shameless person? He's almost as shameless as her prince and the other young masters!
