Zhou Zhaonuan was born in the cold palace. At four years old, her mother told her that if she didn't go hug her dad's thigh, their whole family would die. Thus, the little dumpling climbed ...
When Zhou Beichen and the other two arrived at Qianyuan Hall, Zhou Zeyun immediately saw an old woman sitting in a dignified manner. She looked to be about forty or fifty years old. She didn't have many jewelries on her head, but she looked very unapproachable.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother!"
Zhou Beichen bent over.
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "My prince, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"
Zhou Beichen is the Queen Mother's biological son, and the relationship between mother and son has always been good. Looking at her son's dark face, she couldn't help but feel concerned.
"Please remember my mother, I'm fine."
The Queen Mother paused, then looked the two little round balls up and down for a few times, and suddenly, she smiled.
"These must be my grandson and granddaughter who were born in the cold palace."
She waved affectionately towards the two round dumplings, "Come, let me take a good look at you."
Zhou Beichen took the lead and signaled Deshun to carry Zhou Zeyun over and put her on the ground.
"Grandmother, your grandson pays his respects to you!"
The little man was dressed in blue. He knelt down neatly and saluted in one smooth motion.
The Queen Mother smiled even more brightly, pulled Zhou Zeyun up, and asked.
"I heard that you grew up in the cold palace, how come you can perform etiquette so smoothly now?"
Zhou Zeyun thought for a moment and said.
"Mother said that even though I grew up in the cold palace, I was still a child of the royal family and the rules of etiquette could not be abolished, so Mother has always taught me."
Now, the empress dowager was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. That Shen was exactly what she wanted.
Holding Zhou Zeyun in his arms, he could never cherish her enough.
He looked at Zhou Zhaonuan in Zhou Beichen's arms again and said.
"Quickly bring my granddaughter over to see her."
Zhou Beichen pondered and refused.
"Mother, my grandson is sensible. Look at him, he's quite good. But as for my granddaughter, you should wait until I discipline her before showing her to you. Otherwise, I'll make you mad!"
The Queen Mother: “…”
She was stunned for a moment, but seeing Zhou Beichen's ashen face, she didn't force it. She just straightened her expression and said.
"My son, in my opinion, although Shen from the cold palace offended you in the past, she is a sensible person after all. Perhaps her mistake was unintentional. For the time being, you should release her. These two children must be taken care of by their mother. Only then will I feel at ease. Also, since Shen can give you children, why not have a few more? That way, you don't have to worry about having children."
Zhou Beichen sneered repeatedly as he was filled with violent anger. "That woman, despite repeated admonitions, refuses to change her ways and speaks rudely. She must be locked up in the cold palace to kill her anger. If I don't let her go, then I won't worry about it, Queen Mother."
Generally speaking, few people can influence Zhou Beichen's decision, and the Queen Mother nodded.
Zhou Zhaonuan looked at all this, and the little girl felt like the sky was falling. Why? Her mother clearly said that she would have a good life if she found her father. But, she did not have a good life at all, and she was even separated from her mother. She was so sad.
As soon as Zhou Beichen decided that Zhou Zeyun and Zhou Zhaonuan would be the eldest prince and princess, it took only one day for the news to spread throughout the court and the harem.
Zhou Beichen served the meal, and the father, son, and daughter sat together, creating a very happy atmosphere.
At the same time, the harem and the former court were in an uproar.
Li'an Palace.
With a "bang", the porcelain shattered all over the floor, "bang bang bang..." Concubine Li was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent, so she could only throw the porcelain one after another.
"Why? Why on earth? What is the reason for this? How am I any worse than that bitch in the cold palace? Why can she get pregnant but I can't?"
Concubine Li looked at the porcelain in her hand and smashed another one.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't be angry. The one in the cold palace gave birth to two children, but she is still in the cold palace. The emperor hasn't found a mother for the two children yet. Your Majesty can go to the emperor and be more attentive and treat them better. When you get the children, if it's thoughtful, keep them. Isn't that thoughtful?"
Suoxin looked at the porcelain in Concubine Li's hand and said viciously.
"It's all over if you fall."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Li sat down gracefully and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea.
"I'll do as you say. Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow and tell my father and mother that if I really can't give birth, I'll have to keep only one child."
As she spoke, Concubine Li changed her mind again.
"No, I'm not sure I can't have children. I don't believe it. I don't want to adopt those two little bastards. Just looking at them makes me angry."
Lock Heart: "......"
She had no choice but to nod, however, the two of them didn't know at this time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The porcelain in a cabinet fell to the ground one after another. Looking at the porcelain fragments all over the room, Prime Minister Li Bing'an's wife was so sad that she felt like crying and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Master, what's going on? What happened to make you so angry?"
"What happened? What did you say happened?"
Prime Minister Li was panting with anger, and his wife hurriedly patted his back.
"Don't you know that the Emperor...the Emperor has a child?"
Prime Minister Li was so furious that he even stamped his feet. His wife was puzzled and said, "The emperor has a child. Isn't that good? Maybe after having a child, he will not be such a tyrant anymore, and he won't be shouting for war and killing all day long. You don't have to worry every day."
Prime Minister Li looked at his wife, as if he was about to cry.
"It's okay! It's pretty good, but what about our daughter? Her dream of becoming a queen is about to be shattered."
The Prime Minister's wife immediately understood what was going on. She didn't think it was a big deal. If she couldn't be the Queen, then she couldn't be the Queen. Being a Concubine Li was also good enough. People should be content with what they have. Why did she have to be the Queen?
However, she looked at the crazy prime minister and still didn't say anything.
Here, Zhou Zhaonuan finished his dinner and his stomach was full. The little round ball stretched lazily, feeling very happy.
However, she became unhappy whenever she thought of her mother, and even more unhappy when she saw her bad father.
In one day, Zhou Zhaonuan realized that playing tricks on her so-called father was useless, and if she cried too much, she would get beaten.
But she missed her mother very much.
So, Xiaoyuantuanzi decided to change the way to go see his mother.
She climbed down from the chair, crawled to Zhou Beichen's side, hugged his thighs, looked up at him, her big grape-like eyes full of hope.
"Daddy, can Nuannuan go see Mommy today?"
Zhou Beichen decisively refused, "No."
If you want to see the woman in the cold palace, just wait a few more days until he calms down and wants a child.
The little round dumpling wilted instantly, with a sad face, as if it was mourning for him.
"Why? But Nuannuan misses her mother. She wants to be held by her mother. Last night, she slept alone and was so scared."
