"You have such an erratic personality, the same temper as your father. If you were a boy, it would be fine, but you are still a girl. When you grow up, how will you get married? Which young master would dare to marry you?"
There was worry between Shen Nian'an's eyebrows. A normal in-laws couldn't control a girl like Nuannuan at all. Besides, she was a princess. Whoever she married would surely cause chaos in the family.
She was worried, thinking that girls always have to get married, so she had to slowly look for someone with compatible personalities. She couldn't believe that her daughter would be wronged, and she was afraid that if the other person's son was wronged, he would complain to the emperor every day and that would be the end of it.
"Who said that no one wants my daughter? When the time comes for us to get married, I will personally find a good match for her. The princess will marry. If anyone dares to disobey my order, I will take his head."
A heavy voice broke the silence, and Zhou Beichen walked in, looking at Shen Nian'an with a half-smile.
"An An, you have to remember that our daughter is a princess of the imperial court. It is not up to them to choose her. If they choose, it will be me."
Nuannuan immediately came forward and served tea to Zhou Beichen attentively.
"Dad is right, mother, you are worrying too much. Your daughter is not that bad at all. Don't worry, no matter who she marries, she will not bring disaster to others."
"As the saying goes, evil will last for a thousand years, and good things should be kept within the family. If a daughter wants to cause trouble, she must first cause trouble to her parents."
"Mom, Nuannuan almost forgot to tell you that your favorite jade vase was accidentally broken by your daughter several months ago. I used the most broken one in my warehouse to patch it up for you. Please use it as it is."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
Her expression changed slightly and looked a little ugly, and she said, "Recently, when I looked at that vase, I felt that it had changed."
Zhou Beichen raised his eyebrows and almost laughed out loud with schadenfreude.
Zhou Zhaonuan quietly walked in front of Zhou Beichen, afraid that others didn't know, so she shouted loudly.
"Dad, by the way, Nuannuan just went to Xuanzheng Hall and saw a painting of a beautiful woman dining on the table in your side hall. It accidentally caught fire from the candlelight."
"Mother, you don't know that the painting of the beauty is not only bold, but also realistic."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
This girl, why does she always expose all his shortcomings? Shen Nian'an also likes to look at pictures of beauties. He just wants to take a look in his spare time. Why does he bother this girl?
He subconsciously glanced at Shen Nian'an, only to see someone staring at him desperately.
"Your Majesty, there are so many beauties in this palace, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem. I really don't understand why Your Majesty would go to see a painting instead of coming to the harem to visit your sisters."
Zhou Beichen immediately shut his mouth guiltily, unable to utter a single word of what he was about to say. He slammed the table and yelled at Zhou Zhaonuan.
"Zhou Zhaonuan, come here! How dare you make fun of your father?"
Zhou Zhaonuan was not afraid at all. He smiled happily and ran away quickly.
"Daddy, Mommy, Nuannuan will come again tomorrow. Go back to sleep."
After working so hard for so long, she wanted to lie down on her big bed and have a good sleep. Nuannuan walked very fast, and Biyu followed closely behind, panting with exhaustion.
"Princess, Princess, please wait for me. I can't run any longer."
The Emperor and Empress looked at their daughter's back, their faces both serious. Finally, Zhou Beichen nodded first, "She's really a disaster! Asshole."
Shen Nian'an thought about her vase and almost shed tears silently. She grabbed Zhou Beichen's hand in agreement and nodded frantically.
"Your Majesty, Nuannuan is not only a nuisance, but also a black-hearted person."
Zhou Beichen: “???”
His handsome face was full of confusion, and he couldn't help asking.
"I heard you talk about the little cotton-padded jacket earlier, and I understand. So, what does this black-hearted cotton mean?"
Shen Nian'an smiled wryly, "It's a cotton-padded jacket made with all kinds of shoddy materials and inferior cotton. It's called a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket, the kind that's breathable."
Zhou Beichen nodded, not quite understanding, and suddenly thought of something, "I suddenly remembered that there are still a bunch of memorials in Xuanzheng Hall that have not been approved. The content of the last memorial he just approved was that the flood relief grain in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas has been distributed, but the local officials still dared to embezzle it. No, I have to find a reliable minister to deal with the bad habits of these guys.
For several days, the ministers could not come to a conclusion on how to deal with corrupt officials: beheading or killing them.
Thinking that today was Zhou Zhaonuan and Zhou Zeyun's first day in court, Zhou Beichen wanted to hear what the two little guys thought.
After many years, the little girl got up early again. Before dawn, she was caught in a daze and asked to put on clothes. Zhou Zhaonuan was so angry.
Therefore, when Zhou Zhaonuan went to the court and stood with the ministers, he still had dark circles under his eyes.
Zhou Beichen had been on the throne for many years, and with the incident of Prime Minister Li as a precedent, none of the ministers objected to Zhou Zhaonuan's attendance at the court.
They all greeted Zhou Zhaonuan with a smile, and accused her of having an immoral private life, saying that at such a young age, she must have been reveling in the palace every night.
The way they spoke was so precise that you wouldn't know where to start complaining. Nuannuan's face looked a little ugly. She was not the type to suffer in vain, and she was about to retort.
Zhou Zeyun's face was gloomy. He ran to his sister and reminded her loudly, "Sister, you knew you had to go to court today, but why did you stay up late last night? You must have studied too hard. Look at you, you have dark circles under your eyes. You can't study so hard in the future."
Giving her brother a reassuring look, Zhou Zhaonuan immediately took over the conversation, touched her eyes embarrassedly, and pretended to be weak.
"Brother, you're both right and wrong. Yesterday, the Emperor came to me and asked whether or not to exterminate corrupt officials among the local officials. The court officials have been arguing for several days and still haven't come to a conclusion. So they brought it to me and asked me to come up with an idea. I've always been a studious person, and I accidentally overthought it and stayed up late."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Zhaonuan looked around, and sure enough, the surroundings became much quieter.
She raised her eyebrows proudly and gave Zhou Zeyun a look that said, "You are worthy of being my brother. You understand me."
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
One eye roll is not enough, two eye rolls are enough.
Nuannuan accepted the roll of eyes humbly, feeling a little complicated inside. If she had known that the eyes were so insignificant, she should not have read too many storybooks yesterday before completing the task given by her father, thus delaying her sleep time.
Now, she went to court with two panda eyes, and the ministers might wonder what she had been doing last night.
