What a self-restrained and patient child!
How did he end up with such a father?
Everyone wanted to complain, to vent this anger on behalf of Jun Ning. But no one dared to do so, they just let it go.
Soon, Jun Ning came out after changing his clothes. The green dress fit him very well and suited his aloof aura when he was silent.
Now only the hair was left. Once his hair was fixed and he wore the little girl’s accessories, Jun Ning would look completely like a little girl.
Emperor Yongning looked at the palace maid, who had already been summoned to dress up Jun Ning, "Go and make him a double-looped bun, then put on the golden necklace."
The palace maid went to carry out her orders.
Since Emperor Yongning attached great importance to this matter, the palace maid paid extra attention when doing Jun Ning’s hair. Although it was just a hairstyle, she put all her skills into it and gave Jun Ning the most beautiful double-looped bun.
Then, she put on him the golden necklace, golden bracelet, and all sorts of accessories.
Jun Ning felt that he was dressed in a way that made him shine with wealth, a little tacky.
He wanted to take off the golden bracelet and only wear the golden necklace, but the palace maid wouldn’t allow it, nor would Emperor Yongning.
He had no choice but to wear it all.
After being completely dressed, Jun Ning was led by the palace maid to stand before everyone.
Seeing the little princess, carved from jade and ivory, appearing before them, she was so cute, so petite, gentle, and delightful. No one who didn’t know would ever guess that this was a boy in disguise.
This was clearly a little girl.
Emperor Yongning looked at him, somewhat dazed, even momentarily forgetting Jun Ning’s real gender that he originally believed in his heart, treating him truly as his little princess, the princess he longed for but could never have.
"Baby, come, let Father hold you."
Gazing at the princess from his dreams standing right in front of him, Emperor Yongning didn’t even call Jun Ning by name, addressing him directly as "baby," showing how much he cherished this version of Jun Ning.
Jun Ning felt a bit uncomfortable hearing this, and stood there without moving.
Emperor Yongning wasn’t angry either; he proactively took a step forward and embraced Jun Ning tightly, affectionately kissing his little cheeks.
After getting enough kisses, Emperor Yongning looked at him gently and said, "Baby, call me Father for me?"
When he knew she was his son, he never showed a good face, let alone acknowledged her. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
But when she dressed as a little girl, deceiving himself as his long-desired princess, he was all kisses, hugs, and playful lifts. Even more outrageous, he affectionately called her "baby?"
Jun Ning had lived two lives and had never been called "baby," especially not by an Emperor.
She knew full well there was some self-deception in Emperor Yongning’s use of "baby."
Yet, her feelings were still somewhat complex.
She didn’t know how to handle it.
Seeing Jun Ning not opening her mouth for a long time, Emperor Yongning grew anxious and started urging, "Baby, quickly call me Father?"
At this moment, Emperor Yongning was completely engulfed in the idea of making his little princess call him Father.
He wouldn’t rest until he heard this call.
Finding it somewhat hard to say.
"Call! Just one call, and I’ll reward you with an ounce of gold," Emperor Yongning coaxed.
Jun Ning, who didn’t have a single copper coin on her, widened her eyes upon hearing this.
