After carrying the two little ones into a room, Deshun knelt down with a bitter face, almost crying.
"My two little ancestors, I beg you, the Emperor and the Empress are busy, please don't disturb them. Wait until the Emperor is done, and then you two little ancestors can go look for them, okay?"
"So what are you busy with?"
The question was raised in unison.
Deshun: “…”
My emperor, please come out soon, he finally explained with gritted teeth.
"It's just two people being together, you and I are so in love, there's so much love."
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
The two little guys looked at each other, both confused.
Deshun paused and looked happy. He said, "I don't understand. It's better if I don't understand."
What is the emperor doing? Day after day, he is giving him problems.
Bedroom.
Shen Nian'an was held in Zhou Beichen's princess embrace. She looked at his face. He was handsome, but he was not a very good person.
Zhou Beichen gave her an evil smile and threw her onto the bed.
Just as Shen Nian'an was about to get up, Zhou Beichen rushed forward and pushed Shen Nian'an back onto the bed, holding her tightly with both hands.
"My beloved, the child has been born. Now, don't refuse. I don't want to do anything to you."
After saying that, he stood up and took off his outer robe.
"Your Majesty, wait."
Of course not, she was not afraid. Shen Nian looked at him quietly, and suddenly, she said something.
"Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell these past few days and it is really inconvenient for me. Could Your Majesty please move?"
Zhou Beichen immediately knew that this damn woman was not feeling well.
The expressions on his face were varied.
At last, he flicked his sleeves coldly, leaving only Shen Nian'an with a back view, and left.
This woman relies on those two children.
"Daddy, you're out!"
When Zhou Zhaonuan saw Zhou Beichen's angry face, she knew that her moody father was angry again.
Before he could react, Zhou Zhaonuan found that he had been carried away, and the same was true for Zhou Zeyun behind him. Deshun held him, but he kept sighing in his heart, wondering when he could hold the little princess again.
After returning to Qianyuan Hall and getting close to going to bed, Zhou Beichen felt uncomfortable no matter how he lay down.
Finally, seeing Yuantuanzi close his eyes, Zhou Beichen felt that he needed to go to Concubine Shu for a visit.
He tiptoed out of bed, and just as he left the bed, a pair of small hands grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"Daddy, where are you going? Nuannuan is scared. If you really want to leave, just send Nuannuan to Mommy."
Zhou Beichen's heart was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water, and it felt very cold.
"I'm fine! Go to sleep, father is here with you."
Zhou Beichen pretended nothing had happened and lay back on the bed. "Little girl, you want to find your mother but not your father, right? I won't."
Zhou Zhaonuan had no idea what her father was thinking. She smelled the unique Longyan scent on his body and quickly fell asleep.
Zhou Beichen's departure scared Aunt Xu in the Pepper Palace.
"Your Highness, are you alright? If the Emperor gets really angry, it won't be good for you, the prince, or the princess."
A faint smile spread across his lips, "It's okay."
As for the emperor's desire for conquest, the more he cannot get it, the more he wants it. Zhou Beichen does not want to touch her now for some reasons; when he wants to touch her, she will make sure that Zhou Beichen will not be able to touch her.
"Oh, my lady, I have found some clues from what you asked me to investigate."
Shen Nian'an was neither sad nor happy, "Speak."
"Last evening, Xiao Cui from our palace buried something under the big willow tree to the right of the palace. We'll find out when it's late at night and everyone is asleep. If it's not something good, we'll capture her and interrogate her."
"However, maybe it's not Concubine Li. Because she offended the princess today, she has become Concubine Li. She's too stupid to have such high skills. Maybe it's... the Queen?"
Madam Xu said this carefully.
With a "bang", he slammed the cup in his hand onto the table, and Shen Nian'an's eyes became cold.
"No matter who it is, as long as they have evil intentions towards my son and daughter, I will not let them have an easy time."
The next day.
In the Golden Palace, the ministers all felt that the emperor today was different from usual. The bad-tempered emperor of the past seemed to have returned, and there seemed to be some personal grudges mixed in, and he was taking his anger out on them.
Otherwise, as soon as the Minister of Works expressed his idea of building a canal, Zhou Beichen immediately rejected it, saying that it would be a waste of money and labor, and he was directly beaten with fifteen sticks in the court.
On the other side, Prime Minister Li was naturally upset when he heard the news that Concubine Li was under house arrest. Yesterday, he had contacted many officials to jointly petition the emperor at the morning court to let the eldest princess and the eldest prince be raised by high-ranking concubines. Since their biological mothers were not of high status, they should be replaced with higher-ranking ones.
After all, because the princess made his daughter suffer, he would never let them go.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the eldest prince and princess have been living in Qianyuan Palace. This is unreasonable. I ask Your Majesty to find a mother of high status to raise them."
As Prime Minister Li started to speak, fifteen or sixteen of his followers came out and said very different things.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the virtuous concubine is devoted to the Buddha and has a calm temperament. Such a person is worthy of such a great responsibility."
The ministers knelt one after another. Zhou Beichen said nothing and watched everything indifferently.
"Your Majesty, I also believe that the virtuous concubine is a rare candidate."
“…”
Hearing that so many people chose the virtuous concubine, the Minister of Rites stiffened and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. His daughter did not fight for it. To be honest, the Minister of Rites did not want his daughter to take over this hot potato.
These old bastards are pushing his daughter into the fire.
The court emphasizes the art of checks and balances. Only when ministers are used to suppress ministers can the king feel at ease. Looking at the prime minister's party in the hall, Zhou Beichen showed a contemptuous smile.
"So, what about you, Minister of Personnel?"
His body tensed, Minister Yang thought for a moment, and then answered.
"Your Majesty, this is your family affair. I dare not underestimate myself."
Zhou Beichen glanced down a few times without saying anything. The hall was silent, and the Prime Minister's party felt like they were being roasted in a raging fire.
Zhou Beichen tapped his fingers on the table for a long time, and then he spoke with regret.
"I thought you all listened to what I said that day. Unfortunately, I didn't expect that not only did you not listen, but you even got worse. You are all useless and have no ambition to make progress. You don't care about national affairs. You always focus your eyes on my daughter and son. I think you are courting death!!!"
