At first, he thought that the two little guys came to admit their mistakes and repent. He originally thought that as long as the two little guys sincerely admitted their mistakes and promised him that they would pay attention to their own safety when leaving the palace in the future, and he would never send the shadow guards away casually, he would say a few words of instruction, and the matter would be over.
Who would have thought that this would happen again?
He flicked his sleeves, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked sternly at the two little people who were hugging his thighs.
"You...you two, get out of here! I want you to reflect on your mistakes, not take advantage of me."
After he said this, the audience fell silent. The two little guys looked at each other with their big eyes, obviously stunned.
However, the two little guys did not have time to lament why Zhou Beichen was different from what they expected, because the storm was really coming.
Nuannuan saw that her father was really angry, the kind that was difficult to appease, and her little face was wrinkled in an ugly way.
Zhou Beichen stood up from the dragon throne, raised his hands, and was about to pick up one in each hand, intending to give them a couple of punches, but he was surprised to find that his thighs could not move. He pulled his thighs with all his strength, his face distorted, but the more he pulled, the tighter the two little men below held him, as if they were afraid that he would run away.
Zhou Beichen laughed out of anger and reached out to touch the foreheads of the two little guys.
"Well, you two are really good. At this time, you are still acting like a spoiled child. Do you really think I can't bear to beat you up?"
"Let go, let go, how disgraceful!!"
Nuannuan hugged Zhou Beichen's thighs even tighter.
"I won't, Daddy, please don't be angry."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
You are really capable. He couldn't bear to kick them. He was afraid that he would kick the two children away.
I want to scold you, but I can't bear to do it.
So, I can only be angry at myself.
Just make him mad to death.
A playful yet angry smile flashed across his lips, and then his anger gradually subsided.
"You don't want to let go, right? You like hugging my thighs, right? Then you two can hug me."
Just when the two little kids thought Zhou Beichen had calmed down and the storm was about to stop, a cold voice came from above their heads.
"Come here, pass the board and beat these two little bastards hard. Stop when they let go of me."
Zhou Zhaonuan, Zhou Zeyun: "..."
The two little men looked at each other and felt something was wrong when they saw the palace maid walking towards them with a board in her hand.
Nuannuan rolled her big, round eyes, and when the beating was about to hit her, the little fellow pretended to be discouraged and spoke in a flattering manner like a wilted eggplant vine.
"Dad, good dad, please calm down. Nuannuan didn't mean it. Nuannuan didn't take shortcuts. Nuannuan just wants you to calm down. Nuannuan is here to admit her mistake to dad. Nuannuan promises that from now on, whether in the palace or outside, I will listen to you and mom and let the shadow guards follow me all the time. It will never be like today again. Dad, Nuannuan was wrong. Nuannuan knows that dad really cares about me and my brother. It's Nuannuan's fault. At this time, she still wants to muddle through and let dad not pursue the matter. The main reason is that Nuannuan is afraid of being beaten. She never thought that Nuannuan's behavior would not only not make dad happy, but also really make dad angry."
"It's all Nuannuan's fault. It's Nuannuan's fault. Daddy wants to beat or scold her, and Nuannuan will accept the punishment. But, can Daddy beat her himself? Don't throw Nuannuan to irrelevant people. Nuannuan is... scared..."
As she was talking, Nuannuan suddenly cried out "Wow" and burst into tears.
To be honest, when Zhou Beichen saw the crying child, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
"Father, this is all my fault. This idea today was my own, and it has nothing to do with my sister. I was injured a while ago and cannot bear any more beatings. If you want to hit someone, just hit me."
Letting go of Zhou Beichen's thighs, Zhou Zeyun took a step back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed solemnly.
Nuannuan hugged his thighs even tighter, sobbing continuously.
"I...I know Daddy is doing this for our own good. He's afraid that something might happen to us. We were indeed reckless this time. Please don't be angry, Daddy. Please don't hit my brother or Nuannuan. Please forgive me this time, okay? Okay?"
Her eyes were filled with tears, and bean-sized tears kept sliding down from the corners of her eyes. Nuannuan stretched out two little fingers and assured him with an innocent face.
"Nuannuan, please promise that from now on, no matter what you do, you will put your own safety first. I will never send Yuqin out so carelessly again."
Even so, Zhou Beichen's anger finally subsided a lot, but his face was still cold.
He looked down at his son kneeling on the ground, picked up his daughter, and gently wiped her tears.
"You said that yourself. If I ever find out you've secretly sent someone away again, we'll settle the old and new scores together."
Nuannuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded obediently.
"Forget it, even if daddy beats Nuannuan into a meat pie next time, Nuannuan won't cry."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
I really want to beat you into a meat pie right now, but after taking a look at the tears hanging on his daughter's fair face, he decided to swallow all the words.
It's not for any other reason, it's just because his daughter seems to be made of water. She cries a lot and is the type that is hard to coax. It seems that he has to be more careful when scaring or scolding his daughter in the future.
"You can cry if you want. I'm not covering your mouth."
Zhou Beichen left a word arrogantly and didn't intend to pay any attention to her.
Nuan Nuan: “…”
He looked at Zhou Beichen in surprise and was about to say something when he felt himself moving.
Zhou Beichen held her, step by step, and finally stopped in front of the kneeling Zhou Zeyun.
"Hanhan, get up!"
He spoke calmly. Zhou Zhaonuan watched his brother stand up. The little guy knew that the storm was over. Daddy was not only not angry, but also did not beat them. How great!!!
After taking a look at the restless little girl in his arms, Zhou Beichen circled around Zhou Zeyun, looked left and right, and finally, stopped behind Zhou Zeyun, raised his foot, and kicked him on the butt.
There was only a "thump" sound, the sound of a knee hitting the ground. Nuannuan was so scared that she closed her eyes, "Daddy, what are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't hit us? Why are you kicking my brother?"
Zhou Zeyun knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his hands. His eyes were red and rimmed with tears. He looked at Zhou Beichen with an innocent and aggrieved look.
"Since the emperor dislikes me, why not just pass on the stick and throw me out to beat me instead of insulting me here?"
