“Auntie, you’re silly. Discipline and venting are different! My dad says that discipline is giving the person who made the mistake a reason to learn a lesson, while venting is giving the person who scolded the other a reason to learn a lesson.”
Actually, when the little boy said "stupid," it wasn't meant to be derogatory.
For the little girl, whether it's "Niannian is so smart" or "Niannian is such a silly girl," it's an affectionate nickname given to her by her parents and brothers. It means the same as being cute and innocent, but "silly" is easier to remember.
However, it was clear that Min didn't think so. She was shocked to hear this little thing so brazenly calling her stupid, and the implication was that she was bullying others by taking advantage of her power.
Min's face was extremely ugly, and her gaze towards the little boy was full of malice. If it weren't for the oppressive presence of Emperor Chongjin above, she would have definitely brushed the little boy away with one hand.
Emperor Chongjin naturally heard what the little boy said.
Although the little baby was speaking softly, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, let alone the little baby's soft, sweet voice.
Upon hearing the now-famous phrase "Daddy said," Emperor Chongjin couldn't help but glance at the little boy.
This little girl has only been here for two days, but he feels as if the Prince of Hengchang has moved in and is living right next to him, saying something to him anytime, anywhere. And every time he hears her, he has no choice but to say, "Well said!"
Emperor Chongjin thought that next time he would bestow an honorary title upon the Prince of Hengchang, he might as well just give him the title of Grand Tutor and Imperial Preceptor, which would be a well-deserved honor.
Thinking this, the anger that had been building up in Emperor Chongjin's heart was unknowingly dissipated by the little boy. He propped his head up and gave the little boy an approving look, "Hmm, you're right, Niannian is really smart."
As he spoke, Emperor Chongjin glanced at Lady Min without changing his expression. Unlike his gentleness towards the little baby, his gaze towards Lady Min was sharp as ice, filled with fierce anger.
When Lady Min met Emperor Chongjin's gaze, her face turned deathly pale.
At the same time, upon receiving praise, the little brat immediately perked up its tail, looking like a proud little bear, and was incredibly smug.
However, the little dumpling quickly noticed that Auntie Benben's expression wasn't good, and realizing that what she had done was wrong, she quickly put away her smug little tail, tugged at Min's sleeve, and comforted her very considerately:
"It's okay if Auntie doesn't understand, Niannian doesn't quite understand either, but Niannian can learn, and so can Auntie!"
To Min Shi, these words only sounded sarcastic. Her gaze turned icy and unbearable. She glanced at the little girl and said in a sarcastic tone, "Is the little princess accusing me of abusing my power?"
This is a common tactic used in the palace. Min-shi directly uses her status as an elder, and if a junior dares to say another word, she will be labeled as "disrespectful to elders and jumping around".
Most people would choose to remain silent for fear of damaging their reputation.
But does Min want to use this method to deal with a three-year-old toddler?
Upon hearing Min Shi's words, the little baby opened his mouth wide, then formed a small circle in surprise. His bright, dark eyes blinked as he looked at Consort Min, making Consort Min's eyelids twitch violently.
Immediately afterwards, a soft, sweet little voice rang out, full of surprise, "So Auntie can understand! Auntie is so smart!"
The little boy tilted his head, his arched eyebrows revealing dimples, and his sweet smile showed he was very generous with his praise.
