As he spoke, Zhou Zeyu burst into tears. Concubine Shu loved her son so much that she didn't care about the past. She just shook her head and hugged Zhou Zeyu tighter.
"Since the Emperor has given you to me, I naturally cannot argue with a little kid like you. Moreover, between you and me, mother and son, there is no need to say so much."
"Oh~ she's crying, the love between mother and son is so deep, I guess I came at the wrong time."
When Zhou Beichen stepped into the bedroom, he saw such a scene. He did not feel much in his heart, his eyes were calm, but his words were a little teasing.
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment. After comforting Zhou Zeyu, she stood up and greeted, "Your Majesty."
Zhou Beichen waved his hand and stepped forward. Zhou Zeyu, who was lying on the bed over there, was extremely restrained for a moment. If he had schemed against Zhou Beichen before, had some dependence on him, and had hatred for him, now he was also a little afraid of him.
"Son... your son pays homage..."
Before he could kneel down, Zhou Beichen pushed him back down with one hand. "No need to be so polite. I was on my way to Xuanzheng Hall and passed by here, so I stopped by to see you. You are feeling much better now."
Zhou Zeyu's eyes were dodging, and he lowered his head while speaking. "Your Majesty, I am fine. I am sorry to have caused you to worry about me."
Zhou Beichen stood in front of the bed and looked at him for a long time, until Zhou Zeyu wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, then he withdrew his gaze and said slowly.
"You are my son. From now on, just be a good second prince. Don't worry, I will give you everything I deserve. But if it's not yours, you'd better not covet it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
This is a warning.
Thinking of how he pushed my sister's bottom line time and time again when talking to her, he would try every means to help her out and clean up the mess even when her sister did something wrong, but why did he have to take responsibility for everything when it came to him?
Tears couldn't help but fall down.
He reached out and wiped it twice. Zhou Beichen saw it clearly, but he did not step forward to stop him. He just looked at him coldly in front of the bed.
Since ancient times, the royal family has never had family affection, simply because the position on the dragon throne is too tempting. Countless people rush forward one after another, regardless of the consequences, and even if there is no good result in the end, they still do not give up.
Subconsciously, he didn't want his son to become like that.
Concubine Shu couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to comfort him, "Yu'er, your father is talking to you, why are you crying, kid? Answer him."
Over the years, she has come to understand Zhou Beichen's temper.
She pushed Zhou Zeyu, who was crying loudly, hard, turned her head and secretly glanced at Zhou Beichen. Sure enough, his face had turned ashen.
Concubine Shu was anxious and afraid that he would get angry again, so she just knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Yu'er is still not well and is always a little spoiled. Please be merciful and don't pursue the matter. He didn't mean to ignore me."
Sobbing slightly, Zhou Zeyu saw through his hazy vision that Concubine Shu was kneeling in front of Zhou Beichen, begging for him. His heart softened again. He took out his little hand, wiped his tears, and knelt in front of Zhou Beichen with blurred vision.
"Father, I understand. I will follow your instructions."
Zhou Beichen nodded lightly and helped the mother and son up. He came here today not to blame them, but he always felt that Zhou Zeyu was becoming more and more different from before. He couldn't really tell what was different.
"Okay, stop crying. I'm leaving now. Take a good rest."
Watching the people leave, Zhou Zeyu was still in shock, but Concubine Shu felt relieved. She hurriedly picked up Zhou Zeyu who was standing on the ground, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt herself.
I couldn't help but remind him.
"Yu'er, since you're almost well, you have to go to the Shangshufang tomorrow. I'm going to go see when your brother will come back. You can get some more sleep. You look haggard these past few days and have lost a lot of weight."
Zhou Zeyu nodded obediently. Unconsciously, he saw the shadow of Li Shuren from the cold palace in Concubine Shu.
He thought that if his own mother lived like this in the cold palace, as long as he knew that she was safe and healthy, he would be willing to let her be the son of a concubine and be filial to her for the rest of her life.
When Zhou Beichen returned to Xuan Zheng Hall, Zhou Zeyun was struggling with a pile of memorials. Zhou Zeyun, who was reviewing memorials for the first time, was extremely anxious. In a short while, he was sweating profusely.
"But are you tired? If you are, go out for a walk and rest for a while. You are still young, so there is no rush to learn these. Just finish reviewing these before dinner, write down your thoughts, and show them to me."
The midday sun is the most poisonous. At this moment, the sun has risen high. Zhou Zeyu only glanced out the window and quickly retracted his head, complaining in his heart.
His father is clearly bullying him. Who would go outside to bask in the sun during their rest time?
He shook his head. Zhou Beichen had already approached. "Is this difficult?"
The tone was unusually gentle. Zhou Zeyun felt something strange in his heart. He raised his clear eyes and met Zhou Beichen's eyes, which were as deep as a cold pond. For a moment, he lowered his head.
Zhou Beichen smiled. "It's normal to think it's difficult at first. Just like when I first took over government affairs, I felt overwhelmed. There were too many things to do, and they were too trivial. Gradually, I got used to it. Come, I'll teach you."
After saying that, he ordered Deshun to get a chair and sit down in front of Zhou Zeyun, and actually began to analyze seriously.
Looking up at his father's gentle eyes, Zhou Zeyun suddenly felt that it was actually quite good to continue living like this.
In the blink of an eye, four months had passed. During this period, Zhou Zhaonuan was quite busy. He visited almost every brothel in the country and reaped a lot of rewards. Not only did he fill the national treasury, but he also rescued many women who were forced into brothels.
That day, the little girl got up from the inn, stretched, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and planned to return to the palace.
Four months is neither a long time nor a short time. The most noteworthy thing in the palace is that Zhou Zeen felt that his brother had changed. Not only was he close to Concubine Shu and his mother, but his relationship with him had also improved. Most of the time, he would think about him, unlike before when he disliked him in every way.
Pepper Room Palace.
Concubine Shu looked at Shen Nian'an's gradually growing belly, with a rare look of envy in her eyes.
"An An, the baby will be born in two or three months, but I don't know whether it will be a princess or a prince."
Shen Nian'an smiled indifferently, "Princess or prince, they are all my children. I love them all the same. But if they are princesses, please don't be like Nuan Nuan."
