"Mmm!" The little boy, receiving the hint, immediately nodded his head vigorously, his bright, watery eyes looking pitifully at his nanny, Jiang, while he wrung his little hands, looking like a good boy who knew he had done something wrong.
Judging from the way these two are, one giving hints and the other pretending to be innocent, they've clearly done this kind of thing quite a few times.
Looking at the pitiful little baby, the wet nurse could no longer maintain a stern expression.
She glared at Zhuang You, annoyed, and huffed, "You just keep spoiling the little princess! When she coughs and needs medicine, you'll be the one to coax her to take it!"
"Alright, alright, we'll do as you say, Nanny. Don't be angry, Nanny. We're all counting on you." Zhuang You smiled helplessly, her eyes gentle.
The little baby looked at the stern-looking nanny, reached out and gently tugged at Nanny Jiang's clothes, pouting his little face, his sweet, soft voice saying, "Nanny, Nanny, Niannian is thirsty."
Jiang, the wet nurse, was Xiaochanian's adoptive wet nurse. She was in her forties, with slightly dark skin, tall and strong. She had a long face and was always serious. Her hair was combed into a shiny bun, and she looked energetic and capable.
However, the little dumpling's first favorite is Sister Zhuangyou, and the second is Nanny Jiang, because Nanny Jiang dotes on Xiaochai. The clever little dumpling is naturally fearless.
Just moments ago, Nanny Jiang was all stern and fierce, but after the little girl's sweet, childish whining, she was completely oblivious and turned to fetch water.
However, as she left, the wet nurse sighed and angrily tickled the little baby's soft armpits.
"Giggle giggle..." The little baby was ticklish and kicked his legs, letting out a string of childish laughter.
"You little rascal, be a good girl and listen to Sister Zhuangyou, don't be naughty!" The nanny glared at the giggling little dumpling, but her face was no longer stern and instead had a helpless smile on it. Finally, she raised her hand and flicked the little dumpling's nose.
"Giggle, ok, ok, nanny, go find some water." The little baby snuggled into Zhuangyou's arms, kicking his little feet and laughing happily as he answered his nanny in a childish voice.
Without further ado, Nanny Jiang turned and pulled a palace maid to find warm water. She also sent a young maid back to fetch some pear syrup to stop the cough. The little one coughed whenever he ate anything sweet, and Nanny Jiang had brought a lot of it with her when she came to the capital from Hengchang.
After the wet nurse left, Zhuangyou looked down into the little girl's dark eyes and helplessly tapped her little nose. "I heard that the Emperor has bestowed the title of Princess upon the little princess? As a little princess, she should be an even better girl and shouldn't be misbehaving like this anymore."
"Okay, okay." The little dumpling pouted and agreed in a childish voice, then playfully rubbed his soft, wispy hair against Zhuangyou's shoulder, his restless little head still looking around.
The little boy's commotion naturally attracted the attention of many noble ladies. Upon hearing that the little boy was the young princess of the Hengchang County Prince's Mansion and had just been granted the title of Princess Fuying, the noble ladies all curtsied in greeting.
Cha Nian's bright, watery eyes darted around, her dimples appearing as she smiled sweetly and obediently, her little mouth also sweet, "Pretty sisters, get up quickly! Nian Nian wishes all the sisters to become more and more beautiful, and to marry a big... mmm (pig's trotter) they like!"
Upon realizing something was wrong, Zhuangyou quickly covered the little baby's mouth, but it was already a bit too late. Meeting the gazes of the blushing noble ladies around her, Zhuangyou smiled shyly at them and quickly lowered her head, carrying the little baby towards the main hall of Shouci Palace.
