Veins popped up on Zhou Beichen's forehead, and the next moment, he saw Yingpin flying towards him with shining eyes. Zhou Beichen held his head high, looking extremely arrogant.
You see, my charm is so great that the women in the harem are so happy when they see me.
His Majesty the Emperor, who usually keeps his emotions secret, now showed his emotions on his face.
"Nuannuan, you're finally back. I just heard that you and Hanhan passed the test with your father and didn't get beaten. Empress Ying was so happy. This time, Empress Ying's heart is finally at ease. Come, Empress Ying has a small golden lock to calm our Nuannuan down."
As Yingpin spoke, she took out a heavy golden lock from her sleeve without even looking at Zhou Beichen. Then, Zhou Zhaonuan entered her arms, and the golden lock in her hand ran into Zhou Zhaonuan's arms.
"Empress Ying, you are so kind. Nuannuan likes you the most."
Zhou Zhaonuan kissed her on the face and danced happily.
Yingpin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Nuannuan likes Empress Ying. That's great. Empress Ying also likes Nuannuan the most."
Zhou Zeyun was in Zhou Beichen's arms and raised her head at the right time.
"Mrs. Ying, my sister has a big golden locket, do I have one?"
Yingpin: "......"
The atmosphere of laughter came to an abrupt end. Looking at Zhou Zeyun with a face full of hope, she laughed dryly twice. Then, the palace maid beside Yingpin took out a silver lock that was not even half the size of the gold lock from her sleeve, held it in her palm, and carefully handed it to Zhou Zeyun.
Yingpin laughed.
"Hanhan, you know that even though Empress Ying has silver, it can't withstand Empress Ying giving it away three times a day. Just make do with it and use it to calm your nerves."
After saying that, Yingpin turned back guiltily. In fact, there were so many golden locks in her palace. Now she had Xiao Nuannuan. Yingpin felt that only her daughter was worthy of this precious golden lock. The rest could go away.
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
He looked at his sister's and then at his own, and suddenly felt that in this palace, it seemed as if everyone treated his sister as a treasure and him as grass. The most important thing was that there were not many princes in this palace.
Could it be that he himself is really not wanted by anyone?
After Zhou Zeyun reluctantly accepted the small silver lock, he raised his eyes and looked at his father. He found that his expression was not very good, and he even looked like he wanted to beat him up.
Shaking his head, Zhou Zeyun felt that he had seen it wrong. He wiped his eyes, plucked up his courage, looked again, and found that it was still the same expression.
Zhou Beichen put Zhou Zeyun on the ground in a bad mood, strode to Yingpin and stretched out his hand.
"Give me your daughter. If you want a daughter, go give birth to one yourself. Don't try to steal it from me."
Yingpin didn't want to give it, so she took Zhou Zhaonuan and took a step back, kneeling down, carefree.
"Your Majesty, I like Nuan Nuan. Please let me hold you for a while longer."
Zhou Beichen glanced at her sideways. That was great. This woman, it would be fine if she didn't throw herself on him, and it would be fine if she didn't flirt with him, but now in her heart, he, the king of a country, was not as important as a little girl. This made him very angry. The most important thing was that this damn woman actually dared to snatch his daughter. This was simply intolerable.
Zhou Beichen showed a terrifying smile and rushed forward, "Give it to me."
In a flash, Nuannuan felt dizzy and found herself running into Zhou Beichen's arms.
"Daddy, look at the golden locket that Lady Ying gave Nuannuan. Isn't it beautiful? It's so golden and shiny. Nuannuan loves it so much."
Zhou Beichen stared at the gold lock with a forced smile.
"You like it, don't you?"
Nuan Nuan nodded vigorously, "I like it, of course I like it."
"Bring it here!"
Zhou Beichen snatched it away, threw the golden lock into Deshun's hand, and gave a cold order.
"I have confiscated this golden lock and put it into the national treasury."
Nuan Nuan: “…”
The little girl pouted in grievance. If Zhou Beichen hadn't threatened her with his eyes, she would probably have burst into tears on the spot.
Deshun: “…”
The heavy gold locket lay in his hand, which was obviously worth a lot of money. He secretly glanced at Zhou Beichen and became more and more indignant for his own princess.
The little princess is so well-behaved, why does she have such an immoral father? If he were her father, she would definitely give her the best things in the world and not let her suffer any grievances.
“Daddy!”
Zhou Zhaonuan pouted and looked at Zhou Beichen with anger on her face. She raised her little butt, trying to be at eye level with Zhou Beichen, trying hard to fight for herself.
"Daddy, you are too arrogant and overbearing. That was given to Nuannuan by Empress Ying. Nuannuan loves it so much. How could you throw it into the national treasury?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Beichen's face changed again, turning ashen. He looked at Yingpin, the woman who had sat in her arms and fantasized about having her child soon, and said lightly.
"Yingpin, you have disrespected your majesty and committed insubordination. You will be fined six months' salary. All the fines Yingpin has received will be given to Princess Chang'an to calm her nerves."
Looking at Zhou Beichen's back as he walked towards the main hall with his daughter in his arms, everyone in the room was left staring in amazement.
Oh my God, is this still their emperor? As the king of a country, how can he be jealous of the princess, and be so obvious about it?
Does he still have any shame?
Of course, Zhou Beichen was shameless after all. Seeing that Yingpin was humiliated and Xianfei and Shen Nian'an failed to hold their daughter, he looked at his daughter in his arms with satisfaction and a fatherly smile. He felt that he was a kind father and a benevolent monarch, and felt very comfortable in his heart.
Yingpin was a little angry about being fined her salary, but when she heard that all the salary was given to Nuannuan, she was no longer angry. As for the confiscated gold locket, she would just secretly give one to Nuannuan tomorrow. She waved her hand as a token of gratitude.
"Your Majesty, I believe you must have a lot to say to Sister Huifei and Nuannuan, so I and Sister Xianfei will not disturb you now."
He dragged the virtuous concubine out of the hall and rolled his eyes countless times during the process.
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry. He's the emperor, the ruler of a country, how could he even take the child's things? Sister Xianfei, do you think he still wants to..."
The virtuous concubine quickly closed her mouth, then covered it again, and looked at the virtuous concubine with a resentful look on her face.
"Sister Xianfei, I almost scolded the Emperor just now. That is a serious crime of disrespect. Why didn't you remind me?"
The virtuous concubine was already annoyed and didn't want to pay attention to her at all. "I'm watching you. There's no one around. The people following are all my confidants. What are you afraid of? If you want to curse, just curse loudly. He can't hear you anyway."
To be honest, she also wanted to curse openly, but she didn't dare.
Yingpin: "......"
