"If you don't take care of your body, do you expect others to take care of your body?"
Nuan Nuan became more and more angry as she spoke. She closed the memorial she had just snatched away and slammed it hard on the table.
"Daddy, you don't act like a father yet. Do you need your daughter to teach you how to be a father?"
Zhou Beichen: “…”
He became furious and immediately slammed the table and stood up, "Zhou Zhaonuan, you are bold, rude, and presumptuous. I think you are becoming more and more unruly. Who gave you the courage to speak to me like this?"
Zhou Zhaonuan curled her lips, avoiding looking at him, but her words were unforgiving.
"You gave it to me."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
He was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, thought about it carefully, and realized that this was indeed the case. He was speechless.
He sat powerlessly on the chair, rubbing his forehead with his right hand. He had been busy since he came out of Tongyuqing Palace. Now he was a little tired and hungry.
Zhou Zhaonuan glared at him, rushed to the door and said anxiously.
"Xiao Shunzi, serve the meal."
Xiao Shunzi's face suddenly lit up with joy, "Your Highness, I'll go right away."
He was truly thinking about Zhou Beichen. The emperor was a good emperor. Although he was sometimes violent, he was always good to those of them who served him closely.
Zhou Zhaonuan glanced back and found that Zhou Beichen was closing his eyes. Without thinking, the little girl ran to Zhou Beichen again, reached out to pull Zhou Beichen's hand down, and began to rub his forehead.
Thinking that this was filial piety from his daughter, Zhou Beichen didn't say anything. He adjusted himself to a comfortable position and leaned back on the chair.
Nuannuan's expression darkened. She knew that her father had been very tired during this period, so she used much more strength in her hands.
"Daddy, is this comfortable?"
Zhou Beichen still had his eyes closed, and he felt genuinely satisfied when he heard the little girl's warm and sweet voice.
"Comfortable, of course it's comfortable, but Nuannuan's technique seems like she's learned it before."
He asked casually, but Nuannuan nodded solemnly, "Daddy is right. Nuannuan has been quite interested in medicine in recent years, so I have tried to learn some in my spare time. I can't learn the whole thing, but I can learn the basics and massage Daddy and Mom's shoulders or something like that."
Zhou Beichen felt warm in his heart and was really proud to have such a daughter.
"Nuannuan, why is it that you are not afraid of me like your brothers and sisters, but are also so filial to me? Nuannuan, I am often mean to you and even beat you."
I don’t know if His Majesty the Emperor was having a seizure or what, but he asked this question in a fit of rage.
Sure enough, Nuannuan curled her lips and stretched her furry little head in front of him. Zhou Beichen only saw a pair of slightly angry eyes rushing into his sight. Perhaps he felt that there was something wrong with what he had just said, and his expression was a little unnatural.
Nuannuan squatted down in front of him, blinking her bright big eyes filled with admiration.
"Because Daddy is Nuannuan's daddy. Since he met Nuannuan, Daddy has been very kind to her and always considers her best. Of course, the most important thing is that with Daddy around, no one dares to bully Nuannuan. Daddy can support Nuannuan and let her dominate the world. Even if I go to the roof to tear down the tiles, or even kill someone, no one would dare to say anything to me except for a few scoldings from you. Of course, Nuannuan only kills bad people."
"The most important thing is that Daddy is the emperor. He believes in me and can protect me."
Zhou Zhaonuan was serious when she said this, but of course, she also had some other meanings. From her point of view, as long as she did nothing out of the ordinary, her father would definitely put aside all pressure and protect her.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
Well, he was just moved in vain. Sometimes she really wanted to knock open this little girl's head and see what was inside. Otherwise, why did she always say so many weird things.
However, these words made him feel relieved. They were either flattery or simple truths. From this perspective, Nuannuan and Chen Nian'an were really similar in that they both loved to tell the truth that was hard to hear.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He patted Zhou Zhaonuan on the shoulder and pulled him up.
"Okay, get up. No one told you to squat on the ground. Your legs will get numb soon."
Nuannuan stuck out her tongue, followed his hand and stood up, asking with a smile.
"Dad, does your head still hurt?"
Zhou Beichen glanced at her, leaned back, and leaned his head on the chair, speaking weakly.
"It hurts. I've been busy all day, how could it not hurt?"
He waited for his daughter's comfort and gave her another massage.
Unexpectedly, Nuannuan rolled her eyes and said with a half-smile, "Daddy deserves it! It's Xiao Shunzi's fault for asking you to eat but you refused, and for asking you to take a break but you refused, and you just kept working hard here."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
I have to say, he was a little defensive after being lectured by his daughter all the time.
He wanted to lose his temper but had no reason, so he ended up pointing at Zhou Zhaonuan randomly, not knowing what he said.
"You...you, you, Zhou Zhaoyan, go back and reflect on your mistakes. Seeing you makes me feel bad."
Nuannuan twisted her body, raised her little head, and said stubbornly.
"I don't want it."
Zhou Beichen was so angry that he almost laughed and slammed the table to stand up. Just as he was about to explode, Nuannuan ran up to him like a lackey, pulled his arm and pushed him to sit down, "Daddy, Daddy, don't be angry, it will hurt the relationship. Calm down, Nuannuan will give you another massage."
"That's more like it."
Zhou Beichen seemed to be very pleased with Zhou Zhaonuan's lackey behavior and immediately compromised, "Okay, you give me a good massage, otherwise I will not forgive you."
Zhou Zhaonuan glanced at him and said nothing. Zhou Beichen naturally said nothing either. Seeing the situation, Xiao Shunzi quietly retreated. The hall was silent for a while. The father and daughter were each thinking about their own things, their thoughts flying.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the main hall was pushed open again. Both father and daughter were very dissatisfied, and both pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Shunzi who pushed the door in.
There is a deterrent effect there.
Xiao Shunzi: “…”
His steps were a little slow. Why was he so unlucky today? He immediately knelt down and said, "Your servant greets the emperor and the princess. Your Majesty, the meal is here. Can you please let it in now?"
Zhou Beichen didn't say anything, so Zhou Zhaonuan spoke first, "Please bring it in. I'm hungry too, so I'll have dinner with my father."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
A palace maid followed the flow and jumped in. In a short while, five or six dishes were placed on the table, each one was fresh and delicious.
Nuannuan took Zhou Beichen's arm and they walked towards the table.
"Daddy, please sit here. Nuannuan will serve you some food."
