Mu Wanji's face darkened as she heard that childish "humming".
"Go! Bring the Emperor here! Let him see how the Xue family is running rampant in the palace!" Mu Wanji ordered Miao'er through gritted teeth in a low voice.
"Yes," Miao'er replied and immediately headed towards the Imperial Study.
The Xiaochen Palace was originally located inside the Qiantai Palace. After exiting the Xiaochen Palace, you would find the Imperial Study, which is conveniently located not far from here.
Mu Wanji glanced at the little boy with a cold smile, her eyes filled with malice.
The little boy watched Miao'er run away and wondered what she was going to do when he saw Zhuangyou and Xia Yi finally come around from the main gate.
"Sister Zhuangyou!" the little boy called out in his childish voice, then instantly forgot about playing catch with the palace maids and eunuchs, and ran towards Zhuangyou with his short little legs.
But to the little one, it looks like he's playing some fun game.
However, when Zhuangyou saw this scene, she immediately sensed the malice of the group of palace maids and eunuchs, and her aura became sharp and imposing without her noticing.
However, these palace maids and eunuchs couldn't run as fast as the little boy.
In the blink of an eye, the little dumpling slid along the wall and ran up to her, calling out in her childish voice, "Sister Zhuangyou."
Hearing the soft, sweet voice approaching, Zhuang You softened her expression, smiled gently, and looked up at the little girl running towards her. She opened her arms to her, saying, "Little princess, come down quickly, be careful not to fall."
"good!"
When asked to come down, the little dumpling obediently complied with Sister Zhuangyou's words, then cuddled up and squatted down, curling into a small ball.
Xia Yi was puzzled and was about to step forward to catch her when, unexpectedly, the little bundle of milk jumped down with a "whoosh"!
"Little, little princess!" Xia Yi was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She screamed and hurriedly tried to catch her.
However, when she looked closely, she saw that Zhuangyou had already caught the little baby who pounced on her steadily, with a gentle smile on her face, showing no sign of surprise. It was clear that the little baby had done this kind of thing quite often.
Xia Yi was still in shock, staring at the scene with her heart pounding.
Seeing Xia Yi's stunned expression, Zhuang You smiled faintly after a slight pause, and said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm sorry, did I scare you? Our Hengchang Prince's Mansion is far in the Northwest, and we don't have these rules like those in the capital. Our little princesses are raised in a free-range manner, which is quite different from the girls in the capital."
This isn't just different, it's completely different!
Even a monkey this small probably wouldn't dare jump off a wall two or three meters high...
Xia Yi's eyes twitched repeatedly, she forced a stiff smile, but her eyes were still full of shock.
Of course, the palace maids and eunuchs who followed behind were also stunned when they saw this scene, and they didn't even hear Xia Yi's scream of "Little Princess" clearly.
Zhuangyou glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs, then gently patted the chubby little girl's back and asked in a low voice, "Little princess, who are these people? Why are they chasing after you?"
As soon as the little boy heard that his older sister, Zhuangyou, had arrived, he immediately began to complain in his sweet, childish voice, recounting what had just happened.
Finally, the little girl whined and complained, "That auntie clearly heard Niannian's explanation, but she pretended not to hear it and insisted that Niannian was going to hit her. Isn't this what Mommy meant when she said, 'You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep'?"
