Doesn't this just create another opportunity for her?
She lowered her eyes and looked at Zhou Zhaonuan again, her eyes filled with worry.
"Nuannuan, does it still hurt? This palace didn't expect it either. The Japanese princess just said it casually. The emperor not only confined you to your room, but also beat you like this. You should blame this palace."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
What tricks is this shameless imperial concubine playing again? Why? She has been under house arrest and "beaten". She can't even stay comfortably for a few days.
Zhou Zhaonuan turned her back to her and let Imperial Noble Concubine Li talk on and on, but the little girl didn't say a word. Finally, Imperial Noble Concubine Li touched the precious phoenix hairpin on her head and sighed.
"Alas, Nuannuan, your temper is such that even if I'm not saying anything, you have to change it. As the saying goes, a country has its laws and a family has its rules. You have to abide by the rules, otherwise, your father will be the one who gets into trouble in the end."
To Zhou Zhaonuan, the earnest words of Consort Li were insincere and disgusting.
When Shen Nian'an came in and heard these words, she walked up to Concubine Li without changing her expression, touched Zhou Zhaonuan's head, and smiled apologetically.
"Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort, for still thinking about Nuannuan. This child is really ignorant. I can't do anything about it. I can only blame it on spoiling her before. Please forgive her rudeness, Imperial Noble Consort."
Imperial Noble Consort Li waved her hand nonchalantly. She rolled her eyes, and for some reason, she was no longer as distant as before. She took Shen Nian'an's hand affectionately, straightened her expression, and spoke earnestly.
"My dear sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but children, especially princes and princesses, really can't be spoiled too much. Look at the Second Princess, she knows how to behave. Besides, it's okay for Nuannuan to contradict me many times, but for her to contradict the emperor and father is truly treasonous."
Shen Nian’an thought about it, lowered his eyelids, and stood up.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Noble Consort is right. I will definitely discipline Nuannuan strictly from now on."
As she was speaking, Zhou Zhaonuan didn't know whether it was because of anger or "pain", her shoulder blades trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid. Shen Nian'an felt something was wrong, so she squatted down, looked at the little girl lying on the bed, and asked gently.
"Nuannuan, what's wrong? It hurts again. If you ask me, you really need to change your temper. It's not okay to keep doing this."
It would have been fine if Shen Nian'an didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, the little guy on the bed with his back to the two of them got angry, turned his big head sharply, and started to attack Shen Nian'an.
"Mother, I knew that after the emperor beat me, and after this sweet-mouthed but treacherous Imperial Noble Consort said that, you wouldn't side with me anymore. I don't know what I did wrong. The emperor is my father. I just argued with my biological father. What's wrong with that? How can it be considered treason? Imperial Noble Consort, you are not welcome in our Pepper Palace. Leave, leave now."
Noble Concubine Li's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. She stood where she was, clenching her nails tightly in her palms. She had to endure it. She had to endure it as Sister Liang Fei said. She had to have a good relationship with the little bitch in front of her. In the future, if her child really could not be saved, she could frame Zhou Zhaonuan and send this little bitch and her bitch mother to hell in one fell swoop, where they would never be reborn.
She wanted them to fall down and never get up again.
"My Lady Imperial Concubine, I feel sick and want to vomit when I see you. I beg you, please leave."
Zhou Zhaonuan was so anxious that she wanted to smash the bed. The little guy was only five years old. He was smart, but he hated someone. With Zhou Beichen's doting on him, it was impossible to hide his blatant dislike for someone. What's more, she had to do this in order to act with her father.
Shen Nian’an frowned and immediately scolded him harshly.
"Nuannuan, don't be rude. Hurry up and apologize to the Imperial Concubine!"
Nuannuan was sweating profusely, but she clenched her teeth and didn't say a word.
Shen Nian'an's expression did not change, she did not look at the little girl who was cursing fiercely, she looked directly at the Imperial Noble Concubine Li, now with disdain in her eyes, and was about to kneel down.
"My Lady, today's incident is all Nuannuan's fault. Please, considering Nuannuan's young age and ignorance, please don't tell the Emperor. This child's wounds haven't scabbed over yet, and she really can't be beaten anymore. Please, My Lady, speak for Nuannuan in front of the Emperor..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a fierce and childish voice.
"Mother, please stop talking. Why are you kneeling to such a person? Imperial Concubine, get out! Get out now! You are not welcome in our Pepper Room Palace."
Because the little man couldn't get up, he spoke harshly to Biyu.
"Biyu, get up quickly and drive the Imperial Concubine out for me. If anything goes wrong, I will be held responsible."
After the words fell, Biyu was confused. Oh my God, what was going on? Was their princess really shocked and stupid? Who was the Imperial Noble Consort now? She was second only to the emperor and above everyone else. How dare she?
"Princess...Princess, please think twice!"
"Hmph! What's the point of thinking twice? This princess wants her to get out!"
"Zhou Zhaonuan, do you have any manners at all? I can't control you, I can't beat you, I can't scold you, and now, you've just been beaten and your wounds haven't healed yet, but you're already here to vent your anger. How old are you? You want to piss me off to death, but don't think I dare to lock you up."
A violent voice came from the door, which stunned everyone in the bedroom. Zhou Zhaonuan was lying on the bed. After hearing this, she cried out "Wow" and burst into tears.
Shen Nian'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Imperial Noble Concubine Li was even more so. The moment she saw Zhou Beichen again, her eyes, which had originally looked kind and embarrassed, immediately turned red. She ran to Zhou Beichen in a few steps, pressed tightly against her chest, and almost got into her.
After everyone had paid their respects, Imperial Noble Consort Li began to complain in a tactful manner.
"What's wrong, Li'er? Your eyes are red. Who bullied you? Could it be Nuannuan?"
Zhou Beichen's frowning brows, coupled with the fact that Zhou Zhaonuan was crying like that but he didn't show any concern, made Imperial Noble Concubine Li very happy.
She pressed her head tightly against Zhou Beichen's arms, shook her head, and said nothing. After a long time, after Zhou Beichen and Shen Nian'an had exchanged glances countless times, Imperial Noble Concubine Li finally raised her head, with a tearful face, and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, you are right. I am already a grown-up, and the princess is only a five-year-old child. Why should I care so much about her words of 'get out'? Fortunately, the princess is still young. With time and effort, she will eventually understand."
“Wuwuwu…”
"belch......"
