When Yue'er was suddenly called out, she instinctively looked at the two people at the head of the table. Hui Meiren was pale-faced, clutching her handkerchief and glaring at her fiercely.
The Imperial Concubine sat to the side, her face expressionless and her eyes coldly fixed on her, as if she could put her to death if she dared to utter a single word in her favor.
Yue'er shivered, and like a startled rabbit, she averted her gaze, not daring to look again. She gave Helian Si a troubled expression.
"Little princess, this servant..."
Helian Si could easily see the mischievous looks those two gave his Yue'er sister. Somewhat annoyed, he patted his own head with his little hands.
Sister Yue'er is timid. As her sweet and caring daughter, how could I be so inconsiderate?
In that case...
The little girl's grape-like eyes darted around, finally landing on Granny Cai, who stood like a mountain behind Wen Changle.
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she looked at the seated Wen Changle with a sweet smile on her rosy face, saying in a soft, sweet voice, "You naughty queen~"
Wen Changle's charming face stiffened for a moment. When she met Helian Si's innocent and harmless smile, her rouge-painted red lips twitched slightly, and she spoke in a gentle tone.
"Little Princess...is there something you need from me?"
The little girl tilted her head, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.
"Father told Sisi that the wicked Empress is usually very kind and loves Sisi the most, so she definitely won't refuse to help Sisi, right?"
Flattery will never fail you, so let's start with some rainbow-colored compliments!
Wen Changle had a vague premonition of something bad, but there were outsiders present, and besides, the little princess was currently favored. Based on her understanding of Helian Nie, there was no doubt that this bastard child might have secret guards monitoring him.
A polite smile appeared on her face, and her beautiful eyes looked lovingly at Helian Si. "Of course, the little princess is kind and lovable, so I will naturally help her."
"No, no, no!" Helian Si stretched out a little finger and shook it, his grape-like bright eyes full of sincerity.
"Sisi is not kind, but that's not the point. The point is that the wicked lady has already agreed to help Sisi, so let's hurry up and get that old nanny to help Sisi beat up the wicked beauty!"
As she spoke, she pointed with her little finger at Granny Cai behind Wen Changle. Granny Cai never expected that the fire would spread to her.
The usually efficient woman was momentarily stunned, her face, covered in fine lines, remaining in shock for a while.
Hui Meiren thought she had escaped a disaster, but she never expected Helian Si to be so cruel. With Cai Mama's physique, how could she withstand being hit?
He turned to look nervously at Wen Changle, fearing that Wen Changle would agree to Helian Si's request.
Wen Changle's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a gloomy look settling in them. Using her own people to teach Hui Meiren a lesson—that little brat had truly improved a lot.
Ignoring the pleading look from the beautiful woman beside him, he raised his eyes, his charming face displaying an air of composure and grace.
“Since His Majesty sent the little princess, I dare not disobey, Granny Cai.”
"This old servant is here." Granny Cai finally came to her senses.
"Just follow the little princess's orders." Wen Changle smiled calmly and gracefully.
"This old servant obeys." As someone who had served Wen Changle for many years, Granny Cai quickly understood her mistress's intentions.
"My lord, if it happens later... this old servant is also acting on the orders of the Emperor and the little princess. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I may have caused."
