Before shutting up, Chen Zhixian had only one thought—as expected of someone from the Hengchang Prince's Mansion, they were full of confidence. If it were any palace servants, let alone concubines, no one would dare to show that kind of cold smile in front of the word "Crown Prince."
Crown Prince Huo Chengche was the legitimate son of Empress Yuan. Three years ago, Empress Yuan passed away. After the mourning period, there were calls from outside to establish an empress, but Emperor Chongjin rejected them all on the grounds that "the Crown Prince is old enough to marry a woman from the imperial clan soon and can manage the household affairs."
To put it bluntly, in two years the Crown Prince will marry his principal wife. As the principal wife of the Crown Prince, she will become the wife of the imperial family and be in charge of the household affairs. At this time, Emperor Chongjin will marry an Empress who is not much older than the future Crown Princess. Wouldn't that cause a lot of trouble?
Therefore, the position of Empress has remained vacant until now, with the Empress Dowager holding power in the palace, and the four highest-ranking concubines, Guishu, Dexian, and Xian, jointly managing the palace.
However, they were only "assistants" in managing the household affairs. Once the Crown Princess entered the household, these stepmothers would naturally have to return the management of the household affairs to their original roles.
This makes it easy to see the position of the soon-to-be Crown Princess, and also reveals the status of the Crown Prince, the Empress's legitimate son, in the palace.
Chen Zhixian felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing the word "Crown Prince," and seeing Zhuang You's reaction, she could only pretend not to see it.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, she frowned slightly, and looked down at the grinning little baby in her arms, asking, "Grandma? Is Niannian's grandma in Beijing?"
Chen Zhixian really didn't know who the little boy's maternal grandmother was.
The little dumpling nodded and said in her childish voice, "Yes, today Prince Brother took Niannian to see Grandma. Grandma is so nice! Niannian likes Grandma. Grandma's pastries are so delicious! Grandma's older brother is also nice! It's just that Grandma's older sister Rao Rao is a bit fierce, so Niannian doesn't like her!"
As she spoke, the vengeful little boy pouted and grumbled, "She bullied Changyin and even made fun of Wenlian for being an illegitimate daughter!"
Making fun of Princess Wenlian?! And daring to bully Princess Changyin?!
Chen Zhixian felt her heart pounding. She had never known that there was such an arrogant family in the capital!
When Zhuang You saw Chen Zhixian's expression, she knew that Chen Zhixian had misunderstood, but she didn't have time to explain to Chen Zhixian right now.
Zhuangyou quickly corrected her little princess, "Little princess, that's His Highness the Crown Prince's maternal grandmother. You should call her 'Grandma,' not 'Grandma.' You can't just call her whatever His Highness calls her. You have your own maternal grandmother!"
I guess... yes, there is.
When Zhuangyou got to this point, she hesitated for a moment, as if something had come to mind.
The little dumpling immediately pouted, "It was the Crown Prince who told Niannian to call her Grandmother, and Grandmother responded! Grandmother was so happy, and she even gave Niannian several pieces of pastry!"
Zhuang You smiled, her back teeth clenched tightly. She was absolutely not imagining things! This little prince with sesame filling was definitely up to no good!
Why don't I ever see him calling Old Mrs. Qin "maternal grandmother" with his two younger sisters?
Zhuangyou took a deep breath and continued to explain to the little boy that he shouldn't call someone else's maternal grandmother "maternal grandmother".
But as she talked, Zhuangyou herself got caught up in the little baby's antics.
This little girl, once she's made up her mind, she's always right. It's driving Zhuangyou crazy.
At this moment, Chen Zhixian was so shocked that she dared not move.
Chen Zhixian didn't know who the little boy's maternal grandmother was, but how could she not know the Crown Prince's maternal grandparents' family?
