You don't really miss your mother. Don't think I don't know what you did to your mother at night before.

What a pig's hoof you are! You don't miss my mother at all. You clearly miss the place on my mother that no one else can touch.

"Think about it, it will arrive tomorrow anyway."

Zhou Zhaonuan replied to Zhou Beichen very perfunctorily and turned his head to the outside of the carriage.

Thinking of what Ye Chouxiu had come to him to tell him the day before yesterday, Zhou Beichen's eyes sank. He had to take a close look at his daughter's lifelong event. Comparing from all aspects, he always felt that Pei An was much better than Jiang Yanfeng, although he had been interested in Jiang Yanfeng from the beginning.

"Nuan Nuan, if the emperor chooses one of Jiang Yanfeng and Pei An as your consort, who would you choose the most?"

Zhou Zhaonuan was frightened. A few days ago, she had just gotten over the worry of not having to get married for the time being, so why was her father talking about this again?

Angry, Zhou Zhaonuan glared at Zhou Beichen and ignored all etiquette and rules. She slapped the carriage hard. The guards heard the noise and stopped without saying a word, just because Zhou Beichen had ordered that Princess Chang'an's order was like his own order.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

A casual voice came from outside the carriage, which made Zhou Zhaonuan even more annoyed. She ignored the guard's words and didn't even look at Zhou Beichen. She jumped out of the carriage.

Zhou Zhaonuan shouted, "Where's the horse? Where's the horse? I want to ride a horse."

The guards following outside the door looked at each other in confusion. They each rode a horse, and there were no extra horses at all.

They didn't know how the emperor had angered the princess. They didn't understand why the emperor scolded her when the princess was obviously very sensible.

Zhou Beichen was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring in the carriage. He said that he had never had a child who didn't take him seriously like this.

"Zhou Zhaonuan, get back here! Who told you to go ride a horse? There are no extra horses here. Come back."

Zhou Beichen scolded harshly in a cold voice.

The little girl is so rebellious that she dares to argue with him at a time like this.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhaonuan directly snatched the horse of a guard, and happily sent the guard to the horse of another guard. Then, he led the horse in front of Zhou Beichen and grinned openly.

"Dad, this carriage is too slow. I can't wait to go home. I miss Mom, so I'll go first. Please don't take your anger out on others because of your pettiness."

With just one sentence, he successfully made everyone dare not breathe. Zhou Beichen only felt like a bolt of lightning struck his head.

"Zhou Zhaonuan, come back here and sit in the carriage."

As the voice ended, everyone saw Zhou Zhaonuan jump on the horse and in the blink of an eye, he had ridden a long way.

Zhou Beichen was so angry that he gritted his teeth and kept mentally preparing himself. If this girl was still young, only a few years old, he would definitely catch her and give her a good spanking so that she wouldn't dare to make trouble again.

Because of Zhou Zhaonuan, the entire team stopped. Zhou Beichen was so angry that he couldn't get a word in, but he had to consider the guards who had been working hard for several months.

He closed his eyes, temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, and pulled down the curtain of the carriage with a whoosh. Then, a sinister voice came from inside.

"Let's go back to the palace. When we get back, I'll deal with that girl."

After he said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was all "that girl". The emperor must not be really angry at all, but just said harsh words to save his own face.

Zhou Zhaonuan headed north and soon left the entire team far behind. Around dark, he finally saw the majestic and solemn imperial palace.

"drive!"

The closer they got to home, the faster Zhou Zhaonuan's heart beat.

Pepper Room Palace.

During these years as queen, with the support of the Shen family and the favor of Zhou Beichen, Shen Nian'an has lived a very comfortable life.

"I really like the white ball that the Queen has raised. When the day comes, I will also get one to play with when I am bored."

Concubine Liang waved her folding fan, appearing to have a very close relationship with Shen Nian'an. Shen Nian'an hummed lightly and turned to speak.

"I had no intention of raising this, but after Nuannuan left with her father, this white ball was sent to me. Since my daughter likes it, I'll help her take care of it."

Fei Wan looked envious but her tone was sour.

"Speaking of the concubines in the harem, the one with the best fortune is probably the Empress. In her early years, she was just an orphan. Because she offended the Emperor, she was sent to the cold palace. She thought she would be trapped there for the rest of her life, but she was so pregnant that she gave birth to the Emperor's two favorite children in a row. Princess Chang'an is especially special. She is the one who is the best at acting spoiled, but the Emperor likes her the most. Look, the Empress is where she is today thanks to Princess Chang'an and the Crown Prince."

As soon as Fei Wan finished speaking, the hall, which was originally full of chatter, fell silent. Shen Nian'an's face was expressionless, but the look he gave Fei Wan revealed a frightening intimidation.

"Concubine Wan, since you are the niece of the Empress Dowager, you should be more careful with your words and actions. I may forgive you once, but I may not forgive you a third or fourth time."

Shen Nian'an's eyes turned cold, and Fei Wan raised her head complacently and said indifferently.

"That's exactly right, Queen. We all know that you are able to sit in this position. We just gave you face and didn't expose you."

Shen Nian'an sneered, and she raised her voice, "Come here, bring Concubine Wan..."

"Empress Wan, no matter what, the Queen is the Queen. Even if you are the Queen Mother's niece, you cannot commit crimes against your superiors."

The sudden and abrupt voice made everyone in the hall stunned. Shen Nian'an was even more unbelievable. She never thought that her daughter would come back today.

The virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the Ying concubine were even more excited. Zhou Zhaonuan walked past Shen Nian'an, resisting the urge to dive into Shen Nian'an's arms and act coquettishly. She looked at Concubine Wan sitting under Shen Nian'an, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, and she became angry at her domineering appearance.

Without saying a word, he stepped forward, and before Fei Wan could react, a crisp slap exploded in the hall, making the palace maids, eunuchs and low-ranking concubines secretly happy. Concubine Wan usually acted domineeringly the most as soon as the emperor left, and this time, she really deserved it.

"Nuannuan, no matter what you do, she is still your stepmother. If you have any problems, just let her come later."

Shen Nian'an was worried about her daughter and could no longer sit still. She walked over, lifted her daughter's hand, looked left and right, and only felt relieved after making sure that nothing was wrong.

"Nuannuan, if someone like Concubine Xiang Wan is disrespecting her superiors and ignoring palace rules, it's up to the Queen Mother to take care of him. Look at your hand, it's all red. Does it hurt?"

"It must be painful. After all, Concubine Wan is so shameless."
