Xuan Di looked at Emperor Chongjin's smile and had a slight bad feeling. He raised his eyebrows.
The next moment, Emperor Chongjin clapped his hands at the little baby in his arms, smiling gently, looking every bit the loving old father, provided one ignored the glint of shrewdness in his eyes.
“Come here, Niannian, come into your godfather’s arms,” Emperor Chongjin said with a smile.
The little girl saw Emperor Chongjin's malicious smile, but she sensed that he wasn't after her, but rather her brother.
She looked back at her brother, then turned back to her godfather with her dimples, gave him a sweet and innocent smile, and replied in a childish voice, "Okay." She then kicked her little legs to let her brother put her down.
Xuan Di glanced down at the little white-eyed wolf in his arms, snorted coldly in his heart, gritted his teeth inwardly, and then reluctantly put down the little amulet.
The little baby didn't care much for her older brother and happily ran to Emperor Chongjin, throwing herself into his arms.
Regardless of his attitude towards Xuandi or Hengchang, Emperor Chongjin genuinely adored the little girl. With a smile, he picked her up and fed her a small pastry.
The little baby nestled obediently in his godfather's arms, calling out in his sweet, childish voice, "Grandma Dowager" and "Brother Prince," before happily munching on his snacks.
At this moment, Emperor Chongjin also turned his gaze to Xuandi, his eyes flashing with a sharp light and a cold smile playing on his lips.
Xuan Di felt a little uneasy under his gaze, but was still completely confused and couldn't figure out what Emperor Chongjin wanted to do. He just stood there calmly and let him look at him, adopting a posture of remaining unchanged in the face of all changes.
Emperor Chongjin sneered, withdrew his gaze, and looked with a smile at the little baby in his arms who was munching on a snack. He asked calmly, "Niannian, I remember you said yesterday that every time your fifth brother sneaked out to play and was caught by your father but denied it, what did your father do?"
Sure enough, since it didn't involve her little baby, she didn't notice the sparks flying between her godfather and her fifth brother.
She reluctantly licked the little snack in her hand, then innocently raised her head and obediently replied, "Put them in separate rooms and ask them individually, okay? Did Godfather forget? Just like he did with that mean auntie yesterday!"
Upon hearing his younger sister's words, Xuan Di's handsome face darkened instantly—no doubt, this little rascal had thoroughly exposed his past! Is this brat even his own sister?! Why does she always have to spread his embarrassing history to him?!
However, unlike Xuan Di, who merely raised his eyebrows with a dark expression and gritted his teeth while cursing the little rascal in his heart, Xuan Di did not react the same way.
When Duke Zhongwu heard what the little boy said, his expression changed drastically. Large beads of cold sweat immediately rolled down his face, and his complexion became pale. His hands, which were raised in a gesture of respect, trembled uncontrollably.
Xuan Di glanced at him coldly, wishing he could kick him from behind—what's this guy feeling guilty about! Even if Emperor Chongjin wanted to ask, there's still him! He can always get a thorough answer from his father because that's his father.
If he can't handle his father, how could he possibly be unable to handle Emperor Chongjin?
However, it is clear that Emperor Chongjin was unaware of the difference between him and the Prince of Hengchang.
At that moment, he noticed the expression on the face of the Duke of Zhongwu. His dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and he already had a plan in mind.
