The Qin family, the Duke of Zhongwu!
Chen Zhixian shuddered at the thought of this family; they were the maternal grandparents' family of the Crown Prince, and were far above her in comparison.
However, the more Chen Zhixian listened to the little boy's soft, sweet voice, the more alarmed she became. She tentatively asked, "Niannian, did His Highness the Crown Prince really make you call Old Madam Qin 'Grandmother'?"
The little dumpling was puffing out his cheeks and arguing with his older sister Zhuangyou when he heard Chen Zhixian's soft and tentative question. He blinked his eyes in confusion and nodded obediently, "Yes, Niannian is a good baby, she doesn't lie!"
"I wonder which naughty little liar said he wanted an extra piece of braised pork at lunch, but he hasn't eaten any for the past few days. Yet, before dinner, he's already pestering me to have it again." Zhuangyou added with a cold snort, glaring fiercely at the little boy.
The gentle and kind-hearted Zhuangyou sister can be as tender as water when she's fierce. The little cutie with dimples buried his head in his godmother's arms and pretended to be dead.
Chen Zhixian was terrified. She swallowed hard and asked, "Then... did His Highness the Crown Prince only let you call her maternal grandmother? Or were the Fifth Princess and Princess Changyin also there, and he let you call her grandmother along with them?"
The Qin family is the legitimate maternal uncle family of the emperor, the maternal grandfather of the crown prince. According to the rules, all the princes and princesses in the palace can call her "maternal grandmother" when they meet. As the crown prince's direct cousin, Changyin can also call her that.
If both little girls call out, then Nian Nian, the little milk bun, might also call out once.
but……
"No, the Crown Prince only took Niannian to see his maternal grandmother, not Fifth Sister and Changyin. The Crown Prince said they had already met before, so they didn't need to meet again," the little dumpling replied innocently.
Chen Zhixian: ...
She shouldn't have asked!
Chen Zhixian caught a glimpse of Zhuang You's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, out of the corner of her eye, and there was nothing she couldn't guess.
She chuckled awkwardly, but inwardly she couldn't help but think that what her Crown Prince had done was really unethical. The little princess was here to be raised, not to be easily abducted by him.
What's more, they've only been here two days, and they're already thinking of kidnapping her? The little princess is only three years old, it's really...
But would Chen Zhixian dare to say that the Crown Prince was wrong?
She dared not! Aside from the Emperor and Empress Dowager, even the highest-ranking Consort Xue in the palace dared not utter a word about His Highness the Crown Prince!
Chen Zhixian laughed and quickly changed the subject, "Oh dear, you're covered in mud! Come on, let your godmother take you to the closet to pick out a nice dress for Niannian to change into, okay?"
"Okay!" The little boy couldn't wait to agree, thinking of all the beautiful clothes his godmother had. His sweet, childlike voice was so cheerful.
Zhuangyou's face darkened and her head ached even more when she thought of that closet full of "all sorts" of clothes!
By now, Chen Zhixian had already slipped away and quickly led the little baby into the inner room.
Soon, a voice came from inside saying, "This one looks good! Niannian wants this one!"
Soon, Chen Zhixian and her little boy had chosen their clothes.
The hot water was brought up at just the right moment.
Yesterday, Emperor Chongjin dealt with several palace maids and nannies who used to serve Chen Zhixian. The new palace maid was personally selected by Dejiang and is very clever. As soon as Chen Zhixian mentioned that the little baby's clothes were dirty, she immediately went to ask for hot water.
Chen Zhixian took the little baby to the inner room for a bath. Zhuangyou was about to follow when she heard a noise outside.
