Upon hearing this, Li Chenjiao's first thought was, "Wanwan is only a few years old, what kind of doggerel could he possibly come up with?"
Don't let Wanwan blush with embarrassment when she sees that calligraphy when she grows up.
Li Chenjiao couldn't help but want to laugh.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jia waved her hand, signaling the people to leave. She looked at Li Chenjiao with envy in her eyes, but not much jealousy.
There's nothing to envy. She's put a lot of effort into teaching her own children, but some children... are just born to collect debts.
She was already grateful that her daughter Hongxi wouldn't embarrass herself in front of the Emperor; she didn't expect any other favors or rewards.
After His Majesty finished testing the group of imperial grandsons, he then moved to the covered walkway to admire the moon and the lotus flowers in the pond.
By this time, the Empress Dowager was already tired and had gone to rest, so everyone moved around the Emperor along the corridor.
Li Chenjiao and the other women followed at a distance. Amidst the comings and goings of people, Li Chenjiao held the two children's hands tightly, just as she had when she arrived.
She also took a look, but didn't see Wanwan next to Fourth Master.
Li Chenjiao felt uneasy. She poked Qiu Hu's thigh with the handle of her fan, and Qiu Hu looked up.
Li Chenjiao raised the round fan, then flipped it over to reveal a picture of children playing with lotus flowers on the back.
Qiu Hu's gaze shifted slightly, and she slowed her pace, no longer following.
At Li Chenjiao's prompting, Zhao Jia and Cao also held A Rong's hands tightly on either side.
The candlelight on both sides illuminated Li Chenjiao's face. She subconsciously looked at the lotus flowers on the water, but was suddenly dazzled by the silver light.
Li Chenjiao was stunned. She initially thought it was someone's hairpin or silver hair ornament that was shining, but when she looked around, she realized that it was just a hairpin or silver hair ornament.
Zhao Jia didn't like silverware, preferring gold and jade ornaments, while Cao was cold-hearted and usually only liked to wear some velvet flowers in her hair. Li Chenjiao remembered that she was wearing a plain silver hairpin today, but Cao kept turning her head to look at A Rong...
Li Chenjiao simply assumed it was the silver ornaments from the maids' hair fluttering by.
But when the silver light flashed a second time, Li Chenjiao felt a chill in her heart and tightened her grip on the Second Princess's hand.
Something's not right!
Li Chenjiao whispered to the two children, "It's dark at night, so hold onto me tightly and don't leave my side no matter what happens."
The second princess gave a loud "hmm" and stepped aside slightly, afraid of bumping into her mother's belly.
As soon as Li Chenjiao finished speaking, she suddenly heard the water surface tremble and the lotus leaves sway incessantly.
Suddenly, dark shadows emerged from the water, the light and shadows so bright they hurt Li Chenjiao's eyes.
Without any response, Li Chenjiao instinctively pulled the two children and squatted down against the railing.
"Don't panic, everyone stay calm."
Li Chenjiao knew very well that these people were mostly not after them, the women.
