She used to send Doudou to the Empress's side and then embroider flowers in the garden, playing games with the palace maids for a while, but now the Dowager Empress had said there was no need to send Doudou over, so the task of accompanying Doudou fell on her.
To be honest, she found it quite boring to spend every day with a little brat, so she let the palace maids supervise his safety, letting him run around freely within a safe area. It didn't matter if he fell; the only concern was ensuring he didn't eat the dirt on the ground.
If it weren't for having seen ants and some unknown insect eggs in the dirt before, Nangong Nini would have thought it wouldn't be a big deal for Doudou to eat a bit of soil.
Watching Doudou was boring, and not watching him was equally dull. Nangong Nini felt she needed to find something to do. Her specialty was painting, so she simply had the palace maids fetch some paintbrushes and colors for her to paint with.
