Now, Yuantuanzi was beautiful and put her arms around Zhou Beichen's neck.
"Then Daddy, please go with Nuannuan. Today, Nuannuan will sleep in Daddy's Qianyuan Palace."
"Daddy is the best. Mom always said that a child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is like a piece of grass. Now it seems that a child with a father is also a treasure. Nuannuan loves Daddy the most."
"A child with a father is a treasure."
This sentence made Zhou Beichen's pupils shrink suddenly. He had no children before, so naturally he didn't know how good it was to have children around. Now that he had a daughter, seeing the admiration in his daughter's eyes when she looked at him, Zhou Beichen just wanted to hold the best things in front of the little girl with both hands.
He didn't care about competing for favor or not, as long as his daughter liked it, it was better than anything else. He didn't care whether Shen Nian'an deliberately asked his daughter to come. If Shen Nian'an deliberately asked his daughter to come, he would be even more happy, proving that the woman had him in her heart.
"Father loves our little Nuannuan the most."
Zhou Beichen happily picked up his daughter. Concubine Li was so angry that her face turned purple and her fingers were trembling slightly. Nuannuan stuck out her tongue provocatively and leaned her little head on Zhou Beichen's chest. She felt so good.
"Come on, let's go to bed."
"Your Majesty, let's go!"
Deshun shouted happily, and Concubine Li felt a lump in her heart, a sour feeling. She pinched her arm hard and followed him out weakly.
"Your Majesty, this is even more dewy. It is really not appropriate for Your Majesty to carry the princess so far. Otherwise, Your Majesty and the princess should sleep here, and I will go to the side hall."
Zhou Beichen paused and was about to agree when Nuannuan raised her little head, pouted, and spoke arrogantly.
"Daddy, Nuannuan doesn't like it here. Nuannuan wants to go to your Xuanzheng Palace and sleep in Li'an Palace. Nuannuan is afraid that you won't like her anymore tomorrow."
His daughter's big eyes were filled with tears, and Zhou Beichen instantly understood what she meant. The little girl was recalling the past.
Rolling his eyes at Concubine Li, Zhou Beichen said in a bad tone, "Alright, Concubine Li, don't bother trying to get me to favor you. If you really want a child, then there's a Second Princess, right? It's perfect for you."
"Emperor..."
Just as Concubine Li was about to say something, Zhou Beichen interrupted her unhappily.
"Alright, I don't like to have to say it a second time. Later, you take the second princess with you to raise her. Deshun, you go and do it."
Deshun walked away cursing in his heart, while Zhou Beichen, holding his daughter, headed towards Xuanzheng Hall and met Shen Nian'an and Yingpin head-on.
"My two beloved concubines, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Zhou Beichen looked at the two people in front of him with a smile.
Chen Nian An Luoluo bowed generously, "I was originally talking to Yingpin's sister, but Nuannuan suddenly wanted to go find the emperor. I was afraid that she would offend the emperor out of ignorance, so I came out with Yingpin to see."
Zhou Beichen nodded lightly, his eyes fixed on Yingpin.
Yingpin's body trembled, and her face became even paler than when she pretended to be sick. She felt that the emperor looked at her with unkind eyes, as if he wanted to eat her. No, she must not disturb the happy occasion of the three-member family. She did not want to serve him in the emperor's bedchamber.
Yingpin touched her face uncomfortably and asked, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with my face?"
"No, tomorrow..."
Go to your place.
Zhou Beichen said nothing, and Yingpin's heartbeat quickened. "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that Nuannuan and Hanhan are grown up now, and I want to make them some clothes. These are not ready yet, so I will go make them right away. I'll take my leave now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yingpin was about to run away. What she had just said was shouted.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
Why did he feel that when Yingpin saw him, she was like seeing a fly. He was so annoying that she wanted to avoid him.
He has a problem with his brain.
"Your Majesty, since Nuannuan is alright, I will take my leave."
Shen Nian'an didn't think so much, looking at Yingpin's back, she shook her head and left.
So, on the palace road of the Imperial Garden, apart from a large number of palace maids and eunuchs who dared not make a sound, only the lonely father and daughter were left.
Zhou Beichen was puzzled. Why didn't Shen Nian'an want to sleep with him when there was such a good opportunity? Could it be that he had just favored Concubine Li, so she was angry?
Zhou Beichen picked up his daughter and walked towards Xuanzheng Hall with confusion.
Huaibei woods.
Prime Minister Li, Doctor Zhong and a few assassins traveled for several days and nights and finally arrived at the place where the army was kept.
That night, the two of them secretly conspired to move 10,000 elite troops into the capital in the shortest time possible. When Zhou Beichen completely relaxed his vigilance, he would catch him in a trap. It was a good idea. Prime Minister Li happily drank three bowls of soup with the soldier leader.
Li'an Palace.
After Zhou Beichen left, Concubine Li dug her nails into her palms and didn't even realize she was bleeding.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be like this. After all, the Emperor is willing to see you, has given you a child, and has favored you. Isn't this a good thing? At least it proves that the Emperor has you in his heart. We still have a chance. Your Majesty, please don't be discouraged."
Concubine Li cried and laughed for a while, and finally cheered up. Since she was not under house arrest, she must be careful with every step she took.
Thinking of her dead brother, Concubine Li hated Zhou Zhaonuan to the core, but she had no choice. For the sake of the future, she could only endure the disgust and try to please Zhou Zhaonuan and Shen Nian'an. This flattery lasted for two months.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Zhaonuan is already five years old.
That day, Nuannuan happily changed into a bright red riding suit. Zhou Beichen came home from court and had just closed the memorial when he heard a sweet voice outside the door.
"Daddy, it's already afternoon. Nuannuan wants to learn horseback riding. Can you teach her how to ride?"
Zhou Beichen only saw a big round head sticking out from the door frame. He smiled knowingly and waved.
"It's Nuannuan, come in."
The little girl was particularly happy today. She jumped in from the door, ran to Zhou Beichen, snuggled into his arms, grabbed his clothes, and showed great hope in her eyes.
"Dad, let's go learn horseback riding, okay? Look at my clothes. I had the clothing department prepare them for me ten days in advance. They finally delivered them today. I have to go to the horse farm and run a few laps."
Zhou Beichen laughed at Nuannuan's eager look. Suddenly, his expression became serious. He patted the little girl's shoulder and said worriedly.
"You're still young, can you learn to ride a horse? What if the horse gets wild and throws you off? Or wait two years, until you're seven, and then your father will choose a pony for you, and you can learn to ride a horse."
