Zhou Beichen saw that he was keeping his head down and not saying anything, but he was not annoyed. He just waited quietly.
After a long time, Zhou Zeyun couldn't help but look up. This time, Zhou Beichen's loving and worried eyes met his sight. He was stunned. In his memory, his father had never looked at him like this before. Even when teaching him to write, his father's eyes were serious and stern, which often scared him.
Today, he followed Zhou Beichen's gaze and looked back, saying with confidence.
"My son was wrong, Father. I was wrong. I shouldn't have judged others by my own standards."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Beichen laughed heartily. He put the two little people on the ground and said, "This child is teachable."
He patted Zhou Zeyun's head again and said, "Very good, you are worthy of being my son."
The two ministers were on good terms and everyone was happy. The entire Xuan Zheng Hall was harmonious and peaceful. Hearing the laughter coming from inside from time to time, De Shun was overjoyed outside.
Very good, very good, great, neither Princess Chang'an nor His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was punished.
Thinking of the money that Concubine Hui had given him during her time in the palace not long ago, Deshun couldn't help but touch his sleeve. Finally, as he walked out, he muttered, "No, I have to find someone to tell Concubine Hui that the princess and Prince Yan are safe."
Xuanzheng Hall.
Zhou Beichen sat back on the dragon throne, and looking at the two children chasing each other and making a lot of noise on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a deep warmth in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
He was very anxious before because he didn't have children. Now that he has children, he feels that no matter what, his children are the best.
After thinking about it, he said again.
"You two come here."
Hearing the sound, the two little kids looked at each other, ran towards Zhou Beichen together, and looked at him with a smile.
Zhou Beichen's tone became serious.
"Today, I'm angry for more than just this reason. Also, tonight, I originally came here to listen to you and Nuannuan admit your mistakes, but I didn't expect you to do this to me, deliberately angering me. Remember this from now on: if you do something wrong, just admit it obediently, and don't try to act coquettishly and try to get away with it."
Zhou Zeyun/Zhou Zhaonuan: "..."
What? Is there no way we can get through this today?
Nuan Nuan nodded quickly, "Daddy, Nuan Nuan knows, Nuan Nuan will remember it."
Zhou Beichen looked at Zhou Zeyun again, "I've also remembered this."
Even so, the emperor's expression finally looked better.
He wanted to say something else, but Nuannuan rolled her big round eyes, excitement overflowing from them.
"Dad, my brother and I used the money we earned to open a porridge stall and give porridge to the people for free. We also bought a lot of shops. In two months or so, we think we'll be able to make some money. With the money, we can give Mom a very good life. From now on, Mom won't have to stay in the cold palace and grow her own vegetables to eat. Mom used to live a very hard and tiring life."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
His eyelids drooped. "Your mother, your mother, it's all your mother. How come your mother is the only one who's tired? Your father, who reviews memorials every day, isn't tired? Why don't you look at me and want to share the burden with your father?"
Zhou Beichen angrily pointed at Zhou Zhaonuan's forehead.
"Little ungrateful wolf, I've loved you so much in vain. You only thought about your mother and forgot about your father."
"Besides, your mother is not only living well now, she was also living well in the cold palace before. You don't need to worry about this. If your mother was not living well in the cold palace, how could you be so fat like a meat bun?"
Zhou Zhaonuan smacked her lips and hurriedly said flattering words, "Not only will it give mother a good life, but after we earn some money, Nuannuan will learn embroidery and embroider a dragon robe for father, okay?"
But in her heart, she kept complaining, "Daddy is not a good daddy, he is a jealous daddy. I will record this for him first, and when he is old, I will settle the score with him."
"Embroidered dragon robe?"
Zhou Beichen lowered his eyebrows and stared at her with a puzzled look, "Just you???"
Nuannuan was serious, her eyes lit up as if there were stars twinkling in the sky, and she spoke happily.
"Of course. Nuannuan will embroider a dragon robe for Daddy and a phoenix robe for Mommy in the future. Wouldn't it be nice for you to wear them together?"
Wind robe?
Zhou Zeyun blinked, thinking that her sister was stupid. How could she dare to say anything in front of their father? Just as she was about to pull her sister to apologize, she saw Zhou Beichen raising his eyebrows proudly.
"Your idea is quite good. When Concubine Hui becomes the Empress, you and Hanhan will naturally become my eldest son and daughter. Even if there are more children in the harem in the future, they will not be able to surpass you."
Zhou Zeyun felt that his brain was not enough. He had read in history books a few days ago that there was a battle between nine kings for the throne, which was very dangerous and it was either you die or I live. But how come when it came to him and his sister, their father's offspring were as rare as the sun in the sky.
Moreover, his father was not ordinary. Other emperors were afraid that the throne would be taken away by their children and were cautious in everything, but his father seemed to not care about anything.
Instead, I hope he can fight for it himself.
"Okay, okay!"
Nuannuan smiled like a rose, clapping her little hands excitedly until she heard Zhou Beichen's merciless words.
"When the previous dynasty is free of obstacles, I can find an opportunity to make Concubine Hui the empress. But as for the matter of embroidering the dragon robe, you'd better leave it alone. With your little fleshy hands, I'm really afraid you'll poke ten or eight holes in it. Don't let me not wear the dragon robe by then, and then I have to take time to coax you. It will be more trouble than gain."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
A good heart was torn into pieces.
"Daddy is so unkind!"
The little guy was so angry that his teeth were bared and he stamped his feet vigorously. Zhou Beichen chuckled, "If I want to go underground, then I am no longer me. Let's go to the Pepper Room and see what your mother is doing."
Outside the palace.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
This wait lasted for several hours, and Prime Minister Li had already become impatient.
"Chu'er, go out and see why Doctor Zhong hasn't arrived yet. Find a few people and go to the clinic secretly. If Doctor Zhong doesn't want to give us or wants to do something bad to us, bring the flour and have him executed. Then, go to the Taifu Mansion and try to show weakness. You must find your mother. Dad has a plan. If your mother comes back, it will be twice as effective with half the effort."
Li Zichu's eyes lit up, and she waved her hand and ran away with a large couple.
As soon as she reached the gate, Li Zichu saw from afar that Doctor Zhong was carrying a large wooden box in with great effort. When he saw Li Zichu walking out the door, he stopped him excitedly.
"Master, you're going out."
After looking him up and down for several times, Li Zichu looked puzzled.
He asked, "What's in this wooden box of yours?"
