If Zhou Beichen didn’t say anything, Shen Nian’an wouldn’t think so, and at this moment he also felt a little dizzy.
"Your Majesty is right. Speaking of which, my head is buzzing too."
Nuannuan lay on the bed, still motionless, her heart a little boiling. Why? She felt that she had done something wrong today. She could have done other things, but she pretended to faint on a whim because she didn't want to drop the porcelain. It seemed a bit too much.
Especially when she caused trouble for her parents, she was wrong.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and she quickly forgot what happened in broad daylight.
"Your Majesty, you still have to attend the morning court in half an hour. Otherwise, Your Majesty, please go and rest for a while, and I, your concubine, will come."
Zhou Beichen's eyes flickered and he shook his head.
"No, I have to wait until this girl wakes up before I can rest assured."
The more Zhou Zhaonuan listened to this, the more guilty she felt. It was over. She had finally conquered herself, just as her mother had said.
The next moment, a warm and sticky ball stood up on the quiet bed. Zhou Zhaonuan looked at the back of Zhou Beichen's head, then at the back of Shen Nian'an's head, and finally, a pair of small hands grabbed the back of Shen Nian'an and Zhou Beichen's necks respectively.
The two were talking to each other when a cold hand suddenly appeared on their shoulders. They looked at each other and immediately got goosebumps. Shen Nian'an shouted "Ghost!" without thinking.
Zhou Beichen glanced back quickly and forcefully turned Shen Nian'an's face to the back, "An'an, it's not a ghost. Look, it's your good daughter."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
As his vision gradually cleared, he was obviously relieved to see that it was his daughter, but the look he gave Zhou Zhaonuan was not so friendly.
The same is true for Zhou Beichen.
"Hey~ Didn't our Princess Chang'an faint from breaking porcelain? How come she woke up so soon? I and Concubine Hui were so worried."
Zhou Beichen spoke this sentence with ups and downs.
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
I was dumbfounded and thought, "Oh my god, Dad, you know a lot about sarcasm."
Blinking his eyes, Zhou Zhaonuan knelt down on the bed.
The little girl lowered her head, looking dejected. "Daddy, Mommy, I'm sorry. Nuannuan didn't faint. I lied to you and made you worry about me. I know I was wrong. Daddy, next time I talk to you, I will definitely not open my mouth and tell you everything."
Nuannuan looked at the small piece of land in front of her, humbly admitted her mistakes, and waited for the fierce criticism from her parents. She even planned to be beaten with a mixed doubles beating.
She was kneeling, and the two people who were sitting stood up. Zhou Beichen looked at her and felt a headache. This girl was too difficult to manage. Fighting wits and courage with this girl was even more tiring than scolding ministers in the court.
Just as Shen Nian'an was about to speak, Zhou Beichen suddenly covered Shen Nian'an's mouth, and then he walked a few steps to his kneeling daughter and looked at her.
He didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, and the little girl on the bed became anxious.
She ran over hurriedly, snuggled into his arms, and wiped her tears and nose with his wide dragon robe.
"Daddy, don't be angry, and don't... don't be sad. Nuannuan will change. Nuannuan will definitely be obedient in the future."
"And mother, Nuannuan is a man of his words. I won't lie to you anymore."
Shen Nian'an was slightly moved. She took a few steps forward and touched her daughter's hair. "Mother knows that our Nuannuan is the best. It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Our Nuannuan is still the best child."
Zhou Zhaonuan looked up aggrievedly, tears welling in her eyes, "Mother... Mother is so kind!"
This one sentence melted Shen Nian'an's heart. She wanted to hug her daughter and comfort her, but Zhou Zhaonuan refused and kept trying to get into Zhou Beichen's arms.
"I won't, mother. Mother is not angry with Nuannuan anymore, but father is still angry. Nuannuan needs father to comfort her."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
Zhou Beichen raised his eyebrows proudly and gave Shen Nian'an a smug look. See, my daughter only wants me to coax her and kiss her.
In the end, he could only sigh, "Forget it, Nuannuan, this time, it's not all your fault. I was the one who asked you to throw things all night long, and forgot about your little arms and legs. This is just this time, and it won't happen again."
“Hehehe!”
Nuannuan laughed heartily, looking at Shen Nian'an's ambiguous expression, she thought awkwardly in her heart.
"Nuannuan, my dear mother, please don't be angry. It's not that Nuannuan doesn't want to find you, it's because my face is covered with snot and tears, and I can't wipe them on mother. It's enough to wipe them on daddy."
The next day.
After the morning court session, Zhou Beichen went to Xuanzheng Hall to meet with ministers. He was busy all day. In the evening, he got up and planned to take a walk in Jiaofang Hall. At the gate, he saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time.
Concubine Li.
Concubine Li glanced at him, and an expression of confusion and fear appeared on her face several times. Finally, under Zhou Beichen's scorching gaze, she knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor!"
Yesterday, the Queen Mother was still thinking about having another grandson. Thinking of her old mother's sad look, she also remembered that Concubine Li had once saved the Queen Mother's life and had served her tirelessly for the past ten years. But after Nuannuan and Hanhan came out, this woman changed and became jealous.
He extended his hand, his tone stiff, "Please get up, Concubine Li. I see you look much thinner. Have you summoned the imperial physician to take a look?"
For the Queen Mother, he was willing to give Concubine Li a favor, but he would think about children later.
Zhou Beichen finally didn't have a cold face anymore, which made Concubine Li cry with joy. She shook her head and spoke softly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Those things that happened in the past were all my fault. During this period of house arrest, I have thought it through and realized that I was jealous of Princess Chang'an and Prince Yan because I was possessed by the devil. From now on, I will not dare to do it again. I came here today to ask for mercy from Your Majesty. I..."
Concubine Li didn't dare to look up at Zhou Beichen's expression. She bit her teeth and saw that she seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Zhou Beichen waved his hand and everyone left.
Concubine Li showed a shy look, "Now my body is in good condition, Your Majesty, I don't ask for anything else, I only ask Your Majesty to give me a child. As long as I have a child, I will be willing to abstain from sex for the rest of my life."
Zhou Beichen's eyebrows were dim. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and helped Concubine Li up.
"It's even darker here, and the dew is heavier. My beloved concubine has lost a lot of weight, so it's better not to be blown by the cold wind here."
Concubine Li immediately looked up, her eyes shining. "After many days, I finally have the emperor's concern again. Your Majesty, I haven't been to Li'an Palace for a while. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to come and sit with me today. I have specially prepared some of Your Majesty's favorite side dishes and am waiting for Your Majesty to enjoy them."
