Niannian heard the words and immediately let go, fiddling with her fingers as she looked up at Qu Tong, her big eyes still brimming with tears.
Qu Tong was smitten by Niannian's charm, squatted down, and gently patted Niannian's soft head, reassuring her softly, "The wound will heal, and you can still wear pants in the future, and besides, Niannian looks pretty in dresses too."
Nowadays, medical science is so advanced they can even regrow amputated limbs, let alone a small scar.
Although the skirt hid the wound and Qu Tong couldn't see it, Niannian was able to walk normally, so it probably wasn't serious; otherwise, the Crown Princess Consort and Empress wouldn't be so calm.
Niannian was still a little sad, pouting, "I can wear both skirts and pants, you know."
Niannian's cuteness brought smiles and laughter to everyone's faces.
Only Gu Xiao's face was somber as if he had just emerged from an intensive care unit.
