There was worry in Yingpin's eyes, as if she was about to pounce on her again. Nuannuan didn't think about anything and rushed straight into the hall, with Yingpin following behind.
"Nuannuan, be good. You're still young, don't be afraid. Just let Madam Ying take a look. It's okay if you fall and get bruises. What if you fall and get bruises?"
When Nuannuan heard this, she couldn't help but shiver, and her short legs moved faster, trying to rush into Shen Nian'an's arms.
"Mother, mother, come and save Nuannuan, Queen Ying is trying to take off Nuannuan's pants."
Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian: "......"
This Yingpin must be crazy.
When Shen Nian'an was stunned, a soft ball rushed in, sweating profusely. Shen Nian'an looked surprised and couldn't help but picked up his daughter and asked.
"Why did Yingpin pull down your pants?"
Nuannuan lowered her head and her ears turned red.
"Because Lady Ying bumped into Nuannuan, she turned pale."
Shen Nian'an took a breath and checked the back of her daughter's head directly. After finding that she was fine, she finally let go of the heart that was hanging in her chest.
No matter what, as long as you don’t break your head, it’s fine.
"Where does it hurt, Nuannuan?"
The virtuous concubine walked forward and touched Nuannuan's little head.
When Nuannuan heard this, she shook her head frantically. She didn't want to expose her butt in public. It was too embarrassing.
Just at this moment, Yingpin, who was running out of breath, came from behind and rushed directly to the side of the few people, looking left and right at Nuannuan.
"Nuannuan, are you okay?"
Seeing her stretch out her hand, Nuannuan was so scared that she quickly shrank into Shen Nian'an's arms, fearing that she would forcefully take off her pants.
"I'm fine, please don't make a fuss, Lady Ying."
Yingpin still looked at her suspiciously, but Nuannuan didn't want to look at her anymore. Now, whenever she saw Yingpin, she got a headache. She jumped off Shen Nian'an and ran into the bedroom.
"Mother, Empress Xian, Empress Shu, Empress Ying, the class is over in the Shangshufang. Nuannuan wants to go in and rest for a while. Please don't come in and disturb me."
"This child."
Shen Nian'an laughed helplessly. Seeing Yingpin's mouth wide open, still looking worried, Shen Nian'an had no choice but to step forward and pat her shoulder.
"Okay, sister, Nuannuan is fine. Look at her sweating profusely from running. Does she look like she's in trouble?"
When Yingpin heard this, she also thought so.
As they were talking, a sharp and sad voice suddenly came from the door.
"The Emperor has arrived! The Imperial Noble Consort Li has arrived! The Second Princess has arrived!"
Several people in the hall looked at each other in confusion.
Soon, Imperial Noble Consort Li came in arm in arm with Zhou Beichen. Her hair was covered in red and green emeralds, and it was obvious that she was worth a fortune.
Shen Nian'an, Xianfei, and Shufei smiled calmly, took a few steps forward, squatted slightly, and greeted.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
His gaze passed over several people and finally stopped on Shen Nian'an. Zhou Beichen scanned them frantically, hoping to see an unhappy look on Shen Nian'an's face.
However, the reality almost made him collapse and angry.
This woman, he dotes on Concubine Li so much, why can't she be a little bit capricious? Could it be that she really doesn't care about him at all?
Seeing him staying in the harem every night, she never came to him to get angry. How shameless.
Zhou Beichen said lightly.
"Get up."
The second princess followed closely behind and greeted several concubines. Over there, Concubine Ying was angry and didn't say a word. Imperial Noble Concubine Li leaned closer to Zhou Beichen and kept looking at Concubine Ying.
Shufei was a smart woman. She stepped forward and hit Yingpin on the head with a big punch, her tone extremely urgent.
"Yingpin, what are you thinking about? You are so engrossed in your thoughts. Can't you see that the Emperor and Imperial Noble Consort Li are here? Why don't you go and pay your respects!"
Concubine Shu emphasized the word "greetings".
Shufei used a bit too much force. Yingpin was still angry at first, and was stunned by this big blow. After she came to her senses, she reluctantly walked in front of Li Huang Guifei Zhou Beichen and squatted slowly.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to His Majesty, and to the Imperial Noble Consort Li."
Imperial Noble Consort Li became arrogant and raised her hand slightly, "Stand up, Yingpin. From now on, I will be in charge of the harem. You, please don't be so distracted again. If you do it again, you will be punished."
Yingpin was angry but couldn't express it. She turned her gaze to Zhou Beichen's face, but Zhou Beichen nodded in agreement with an indescribably serious tone.
"Alright, Yingpin, you're not a child anymore. You should change your temper. Otherwise, if Imperial Noble Consort Li really wants to spank you, I won't speak for you."
In one sentence, Shen Nian'an, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu were disheartened, and Concubine Ying hated Concubine Li to death.
But now she is in great favor, so Yingpin dare not act rashly and can only bow again.
"I understand. I will strictly abide by the palace rules in the future."
When Nuannuan came out of the bedroom, she saw this scene: the Concubine Li, whom she hated the most, was now clinging to her beloved father. Her dear mother, and her favorite Concubine Ying, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Shu were all overshadowed by Concubine Li.
Nuannuan immediately frowned and drooped her face. When she saw the two of them, she didn't even greet them.
He just stood there, looking at Imperial Noble Consort Li with disgust.
Shen Nian'an couldn't stand it any longer. The emperor was probably doing this to put on some big show, and she couldn't let her daughter mess it up.
"Nuannuan, your father is here, along with Imperial Concubine Li. Come, pay your respects to them!"
Nuannuan pursed her lips, still feeling angry. She wanted to say that she didn't want to and was unwilling to do it, but when she saw the serious look her mother gave her, Nuannuan couldn't help but shiver.
Mother is so scary. She is different from father. When father says he will beat her, he always hits her gently, just to scare her, but when mother says she will beat her, she will really hit her and will not stop until her butt is swollen.
Under the coercion of Shen Nian'an, Nuannuan ran to Zhou Beichen and bowed in a wronged manner.
"Nuannuan pays respect to the emperor, long live father!"
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Noble Consort Li, saying unhappily.
"Greetings to the Imperial Noble Consort Li!"
Imperial Noble Consort Li: “…”
She was still in great favor, but she was ignored like this. She was so angry that her face turned green. She leaned in Zhou Beichen's arms, her eyes blurred with tears.
"Your Majesty, I heard from the imperial physician that pregnant women tend to shed many tears. Now, the princess is looking down on me like this, disrespecting me and not respecting me as a child. I feel so wronged. I beg Your Majesty to give me justice and at least let Princess Chang'an give me a proper ceremony."
This time, Shen Nian'an's secret glances at Nuan Nuan or her threats and inducements were of no use. She would rather be beaten by her mother than pay her respects to the Imperial Noble Consort Li.
Seeing that Shen Nian’an was in trouble, Zhou Beichen’s expression turned cold.
"Nuannuan, Imperial Noble Consort Li is still your stepmother, so hurry up and pay your respects to her!"
Zhou Zhaonuan sneered, turned his back to them, and said nothing.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
Zhou Beichen sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart. It was all his fault. He forgot to inform the little girl before.
