Faced with Zhou Beichen's barrage of accusations, Zhou Zhaonuan was not afraid. She found a comfortable position and started talking about other things.
"Daddy, Nuannuan is hungry. Please serve her some food."
Zhou Zhaonuan was not very hungry. The main reason was that she wanted to leave the palace and head south to investigate the big brothels along the way to replenish her father's treasury. By the way, she wanted to go out and have some fun. She felt suffocated staying in the palace all day.
I had wanted to leave a few days ago, but was delayed because of Zhou Zeyu.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
He put his hands on his hips, his eyes nearly popped out of his head, and his jaw dropped.
"In this whole world, only others can serve me food. Zhou Zhaonuan, you actually dare to let me serve you food. I think you have great courage."
Zhou Beichen was almost in a state of rage. This damn girl made him so angry, so angry that he almost died. He paced back and forth on the ground for a few circles, and suddenly found that Zhou Zhaonuan had already sat down at the dinner table and started eating.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
He cast an unfriendly look at Deshun, "Who asked you to serve her food?"
Deshun lowered his head guiltily. Zhou Zhaonuan took two steps and ran to Zhou Beichen. She pulled him over and spoke softly.
"Daddy, please don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health. Nuannuan will accompany you for dinner, okay?"
Zhou Beichen's anger subsided a lot after being forcibly pulled to sit at the table. Looking at Zhou Zhaonuan's face that made him upset and was still smiling, Zhou Beichen started to find fault again.
"Answer me what I asked you just now, otherwise I will take your token to leave the palace, and you will never leave again in this life. Also, return the white tiger to me, I won't give it to you anymore. Also, remember that you are a girl, a princess. From now on, don't cause trouble for me every day. I am exhausted from cleaning up these messes for you every day."
After saying that, Zhou Beichen leaned back in his chair and waited for his daughter to come and coax him so that he could take the opportunity to ask his daughter not to leave the palace. These days were too restless. Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhaonuan was eating happily and didn't even say a word to him.
Zhou Beichen: “.???”
This little bastard is simply outrageous. He really wants to beat her up. This is intolerable.
He stood up. Zhou Zhaonuan felt that the situation was not good, so he immediately filled a bowl of food like a lackey, handed it to him attentively, and massaged his shoulders.
"Daddy, don't be angry. I promise I will be obedient in the future."
Feeling the strength on his shoulders, Zhou Beichen raised his eyebrows proudly and gradually became comfortable. He wanted to say a few words.
"Nuannuan..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Zhaonuan had already run away like the wind, "Dad, Nuannuan has something to do and needs to leave the palace. It will probably take more than two months for her to come back. Please bear with her. Don't be angry with Nuannuan. If you really can't bear it, you can take it out on me."
At the same time, Zhou Zeyun, who was practicing martial arts in the training ground, sneezed several times in a row.
This was the last sentence Zhou Zhaonuan left. Seeing the little girl quickly disappear from his sight, Zhou Beichen was so angry that his teeth were itching. He slammed the table and looked at the objects on the table, wanting to throw them out. However, each one was too expensive and he couldn't bear to throw them away. In the end, he had to run to the martial arts field like the wind.
"Father, I give you..."
Zhou Zeyun half-knelt to pay her respects. Zhou Beichen lifted her up and said sternly, "Why pay your respects? I want to see how your martial arts training is going."
After saying that, he directly drew out the Emperor's Sword and struck at Zhou Zeyun, who also had a serious face. He hit him and he dodged, and later he met his attack. Zhou Zeyun used almost all his strength to fight him. After a few rounds, Zhou Beichen was sweating all over. In his heart, looking at his son's sweaty and breathless face, he felt inexplicably comfortable and calm.
After taking the handkerchief handed over by Deshun, the two wiped their hands. Zhou Zeyun was about to thank him when Zhou Beichen stopped him, took his hand personally, and walked out of the martial arts field.
In the imperial garden, the breeze blew lightly on the body, making people feel refreshed. The two looked at each other in silence along the way. Zhou Beichen did not speak and still had a cold face. Zhou Zeyu was confused. He thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how he had offended him.
"Father...are you in a bad mood?"
After considering it for a while, he hesitated and said, "Father...are you worried about something, or is there something wrong with my sister?"
It would have been fine if Zhou Zeyun hadn't said anything, but as soon as Zhou Beichen said this, he immediately started talking.
"Don't mention your sister to me. What could possibly happen to her? She just ran away from the palace again, saying she was going to a brothel to collect money to fill the treasury. I think this is a small matter. She has been raised in a free-range environment since she was a child, and her heart has become wild. If she stays in the palace for more than a few days, she has to run out of the palace, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable all over."
At the end, Zhou Beichen said something to Zhou Zeyun in a huff.
"Oh, by the way, your good sister said that if I'm really angry and can't vent it, I'll come find you."
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched a little. This stupid girl actually dared to bring trouble to him. However, he could only shake his head, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips.
"If Your Majesty is still not satisfied, then I will leave it to Your Majesty to decide."
Zhou Beichen glanced at him inexplicably and suddenly laughed, "Am I that unreasonable? I'm angry at my daughter, so I'm here to vent my anger on my son."
Zhou Zeyun smiled indifferently, took a few steps forward, and actually held Zhou Beichen's arm.
For some reason, while he was close to his mother, he also wanted to be close to his father. Zhou Beichen paused, but did not push away and silently agreed.
There was a time when he thought he was unlucky with children, but now it seems that these two older ones are the best of all his children.
"Otherwise, Father will return to the martial arts arena and have a few fights with me."
Zhou Beichen shook his head, his tone unusually gentle. "No, I'm not going to reply. Besides the reason I just mentioned, I came to see you because it's almost afternoon, and the ministers will be reporting to the Xuanzheng Hall soon. I thought there are some things you can try to do."
Zhou Zeyun was not unexpectedly happy. Everything seemed to be moving step by step according to the trajectory and in the direction everyone expected. Fortunately, he had some vague expectations for that position. However, he hoped that his father could live a long life. For now, this was enough.
"I thank you for your grace, Father. I will work harder and not let you down."
Zhou Beichen is quite satisfied with his eldest son.
After returning to Yingyue Pavilion, Zhou Zhaonuan did not dare to delay for a moment. He ordered Biyu Bilan to load the things that had been packed in advance into the carriage, took the secret guards and shadow guards with him, ordered the little palace maid to go to the Pepper Room to inform Shen Nian'an, and hurriedly got on the carriage and ran away.
"Princess, why are you so anxious? Didn't you say you'd wait two days?"
