Zhou Zhaonuan was overwhelmed by what she heard. She would be suffocated to death if she stayed in the palace all day.
Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up, intending to show off what she had earned these days.
"Well, Daddy, Mommy, I'll show you something, and you definitely won't stop me."
Zhou Zhaonuan walked towards the door and bumped headfirst into someone's arms with such force that she felt a pain in her forehead.
"Who is this? How dare you bump into this princess without even looking at her eyes? You're courting death!"
After saying that, he threw a punch without any hesitation. Zhou Zeyun raised his eyebrows, took the pink little fist, lowered his head gently like the wind, put his head in front of his sister, and touched Zhou Zhaonuan's furry hair with full of doting.
"Sister, it was you who bumped into me first, why are you still saying I was looking for death? You are so unreasonable, little girl!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Zhaonuan's eyes immediately lit up, "Brother!!!"
The little girl jumped onto Zhou Zeyun's back with her arms and legs bared, dancing with excitement.
Zhou Zeyun was so sad that he couldn't even purse his lips, and he was spinning around on the ground with his sister on his back.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."
Zhou Zeyun pursed her lips. "You're the only one who still misses me, you heartless little girl. You're the only one who still misses me. You didn't even tell me when you left."
Zhou Zhaonuan trembled and felt a little guilty. She patted Zhou Zeyun's shoulder, jumped down, spoke with embarrassment, and was about to cry. She even reached out to wipe her face clean, without a single tear.
"Brother, you're really wronging me by saying that. I was really anxious that day. I even asked someone to tell mother."
Seeing this, Shen Nian'an couldn't help but smiled with her hands covering her mouth. Zhou Beichen sat beside him, leaning against the back of the chair, lying in a lazy posture, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he looked indescribably comfortable.
Zhou Zeyun wanted to say something else, but Zhou Zhaonuan pushed him away and ran out.
"Okay, brother, I didn't tell you that you forgot. I need to get something for Daddy. This is what I have gained in the past few months."
Zhou Zhaonuan ran very fast, like a gust of wind, and disappeared in the hall.
Zhou Zeyun finally realized what was happening and walked towards Zhou Beichen and the others, bowing slightly. "Your son greets the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the ladies."
Zhou Zeyun never thought that besides Concubine Shu, Concubine Ying and Concubine Liang were here. He bowed as he was told, and Zhou Beichen waved to him.
"Hanhan, come here and sit here. Let your sister sit next to you later."
Liang Fei had a faint smile on her face, and her hands under the table had already twisted the handkerchief into a ball. She had spent five or six years supporting Li Shuren to compete with Chen Nian'an. Li Shuren also had a child, but she really didn't expect that the Li family was so useless.
The rebellion failed and she was almost betrayed. Fortunately, she had made sufficient preparations in advance.
In recent years, Zhou Beichen has strengthened the security in the palace, resulting in her being unable to pass on information as before. That's why her parents sent her younger sister to help her.
Now Zhou Beichen never comes to her palace and has no interest in her sister. This forces Concubine Liang to think of a new way.
Thinking of her sister in the Imperial Garden and Zhou Zeyun here, Concubine Liang felt uneasy for the first time.
"Okay, thank you, Father."
No one spoke at the dinner table for a while, only the sound of wind coming from outside. Zhou Beichen suddenly straightened up. In public, he pulled Liang Fei's hand over and patted it.
"Liang Fei, I've been thinking about you serving me for several years. Do you want to go back and visit me?"
His tone was gentle, and his words were even gentler. Liang Fei looked up at the sound of his voice and saw Zhou Beichen's indifferent eyes. They were extremely clear, yet gave people a sense of depth, as if no matter how you peeped or looked, you could never see the bottom. It seemed that you could never guess what he was thinking.
Concubine Liang was frightened by those eyes, and she stood up and half-knelt on the ground.
"It is my great honor to marry the Emperor. In this life, being able to be with the Emperor is enough. There is no need to miss home."
Zhou Beichen changed the subject, "Well, the Yuan Kingdom is supposed to come to the court on the fifteenth of next month. I thought you haven't seen your parents for many years, so I wanted to let you go back early to reminisce about the past. In that case, you should stay in this palace and they can stay for a day or two."
A feeling of discomfort flashed through Concubine Liang's mind. If she had known this would happen, she would have just said that she missed home instead of saying those polite words.
"Okay, get up."
Concubine Liang stood up as she was told, feeling extremely regretful, but Zhou Beichen smiled brightly.
"I didn't expect that the Yuan Kingdom had just sent your sister here. It's only been a few months, and your parents are coming here. I guess they miss your sister."
Zhou Beichen didn't even look at Concubine Liang and seemed to be talking to himself.
If these words had not been said openly, Concubine Liang would not have thought it was a big deal. After all, no one had ever said such words in front of her. But now, she felt suffocated no matter how she listened to Zhou Beichen's words just now.
Great.
She had been living alone in a foreign country for many years, and her parents had not cared about her. But it was her younger sister. After only a few months, her parents became restless.
It would be fine if this person never had this idea, but once the seed of jealousy is planted, it quickly takes root in his heart and becomes uncontrollable.
Concubine Liang suppressed the bitterness in her heart, tried hard to control her slightly trembling hands, forced a smile at Zhou Beichen, and continued.
"I am not as good as my sister. I was raised in front of the late emperor. My parents were busy at that time and had no time to take care of me. But when my sister was born, the whole family welcomed her with joy. They just said that it was good to have a daughter."
Concubine Liang tried hard to hold back her bitter tears, but she couldn't control it and tears rolled down her eyes.
"No, I think you're pretty good too."
She casually picked up a handkerchief and rubbed it against the corner of the person's eyes. Shen Nian'an looked at him calmly, without any waves in his heart. This Liang Fei, I'm afraid she has something to ask for and what she wants.
"elder sister......"
"Where's my sister..."
The silence in the hall was broken by the sound of tender children's voices, "I heard that my sister is back. I missed her so much."
In less than a moment, four little guys ran in from the door. They were originally happy, but when they saw Zhou Beichen sitting upright in the hall with a serious face, they immediately became listless and behaved well in seconds.
Zhou Zeyu stood at attention first, and the other three did not dare to delay for a moment. They ran to Zhou Beichen and bent down.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, my father, and to all the ladies. I greet my brother, Prince Yan."
