Godmother?
Zhuangyou didn't react for a moment and was stunned, but the next moment she saw the little wildflower in the baby's hand and immediately realized who it was.
"Alright, I'm sure Consort Miaoliu is also looking forward to the little princess visiting her." Zhuangyou smiled gently, then thought for a moment and sent a maid to Shouci Palace to inform her.
Having received confirmation, the little boy immediately ran happily towards Xihe Palace and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhuangyou dismissed the little palace maid, turned around, smiled with a headache, and quickly followed.
The little baby's short legs were kicking faster and faster, and Zhuangyou had to run to keep up. Unfortunately, running was not allowed in the palace, so walking briskly was tiring.
Before long, Zhuangyou followed the little boy to the side gate of Xihe Palace. She thought he had already run inside, but to her surprise, there was a row of guards at the side gate today.
This is quite rare. The side gates of the palace are usually guarded by eunuchs, but the east side gate of Xihe Palace is next to Chen Zhixian's rear hall, so the guards are always negligent and never around.
These guards have now replaced the gatekeeper, which means that the original gatekeeper has been dealt with by Emperor Chongjin. As for these guards, they are not just there to guard the gate; they are probably sent by Emperor Chongjin to protect Chen Zhixian.
From this position, they could immediately hear any sound coming from Chen Zhixian's back palace.
Yesterday, Emperor Chongjin's demeanor clearly indicated that he was going to demand justice for Chen Zhixian, but since the little baby accidentally exposed the enemy's spy stronghold, he naturally couldn't care less about such things.
However, precisely because of this, the fact that there were more guards at Xihe Palace today did not lead anyone to associate it with Chen Zhixian.
The little boy has never seen wooden stake guards in the palace before; they're dressed like pangolins.
This piqued the little boy's curiosity immensely. Like a butterfly, he fluttered around each of the guards, jumping onto their laps and looking up at them. His bright, clear eyes blinked with curiosity.
Her delicate, porcelain-like face, adorned with a pair of soft, dimpled dimples, swayed gently when she smiled, making her look adorable and charming. The dangling ornament in her little bun was also quite eye-catching.
The guards, who were trying their best to stand like wooden stakes, couldn't help but glance at the little cutie a few more times. Especially when they saw the bright, innocent smile on the little cutie's face, they couldn't help but smile back at her.
The little boy circled around the guard uncle in amazement, saying in his childish voice, "Wow, so the uncle can move!"
The guard who had moved accidentally froze instantly, feeling a chill on his head. Sure enough, the next moment, the captain beside him glared at him with a sharp look.
Zhuangyou vaguely remembered that the guards in the imperial city did have a rule that they could not look at each other or laugh. Seeing the guard trying to suppress the little boy's greetings, she had no choice but to go up and pull the little darling off the guard's legs and clothes.
Zhuangyou smiled shyly at the guard and explained to the reluctant little baby in her arms, "Little princess, don't be naughty. The guard uncle is on official business. It's important. Let's be good and go play with our godmother, okay?"
The little boy looked up at the uncle who was pretending to be a wooden stake in surprise, pouting in disbelief, "Pretending to be a wooden man means doing official business? Does that mean that every time Daddy tells Niannian that he and Mommy have important things to do, it's just them playing pretend to be wooden men? So Daddy never includes me in this game!"
