"But the previous verses are all correct."
"Yes, that's right. If you can't even write something like this, then I think you're really a waste."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
She always felt that she was either being scolded or on the way to being scolded.
With a cold snort, Zhou Beichen pointed at the group of people drawn by Xiaotuanzi.
"It says here what to do if an official is corrupt. Look at what you drew."
Zhou Zhaonuan took a look and immediately felt righteous.
"Behead him, hit him on the head with a teacup until it bleeds, or drag him out and beat him with a stick. Daddy, is it possible that what Nuannuan drew is wrong?"
Zhou Beichen sneered. What was even more ridiculous was that, apart from being a little ugly, these punishments were drawn vividly by this girl.
"Right, isn't it? If I were to teach you, I would beat you eight hundred times a day. I would make you die of anger."
Zhou Zhaonuan stared with her innocent big eyes and spoke as if it was a matter of course.
"But when I was with Daddy, if someone made a mistake, that's what Daddy would do. He would just throw a full cup of tea at their head, and it would make the head smoke."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
Forget it, there are some things that he and this silly girl simply can’t communicate with each other, so he’ll just teach her slowly.
He closed his eyes and suppressed all the anger in his heart.
"Go back and do this test again. Don't do it again. If you don't know how to do it, you can leave it blank. Otherwise, I will really beat you tomorrow."
Faced with Zhou Beichen's threats and intimidation, Yuan Tuanzi nodded happily.
After a while, his expression suddenly changed again.
"What have you been doing during this time besides going to the Shangshufang? Why don't you come to see your father? Don't you know that your father is very tired from reviewing memorials and handling state affairs every day?"
This girl acts as if he is not around when her mother is around. He must change this bad habit of hers.
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
Although the little guy was confused, he seemed to understand something.
"Daddy is tired. If Nuannuan gives Daddy a squeeze of his hands, he won't be tired anymore."
"I came to look for Daddy, but Daddy didn't want to see me."
Zhou Zhaonuan seemed even more aggrieved.
Zhou Beichen didn't say anything, but just put his hand in a conspicuous place to make it easier for Tuanzi to hold.
Looking at Zhou Beichen's contented look, Zhou Zhaonuan said silently, biological son, biological son, this is her biological father.
She used her small hands to rub Zhou Beichen's big hands like kneading dough. The force was very small, not even as strong as a tickle, but it made Zhou Beichen enjoy it very much.
His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes peacefully, happily enjoying the filial piety from his daughter. He did not feel sorry even if his daughter was exhausted.
Two quarters of an hour passed, and Zhou Zhaonuan began to breathe heavily. Zhou Zhaonuan raised his eyes, glanced at her, looked at the sweat beads on Yuantuanzi's forehead, and continued to close his eyes to rest.
Suddenly thinking of something, Zhou Beichen opened his mouth and had nothing good to say to Zhou Zhaonuan.
"I'm really tired every day, and I still have to supervise your studies. How about this, from today on, you should move back to Qianyuan Palace and live there. Every day, it's just right for me to relax my muscles."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
She looked up aggrievedly, "Then Daddy, Nuannuan will give you a massage every day, can you not move back?"
Quickly pulling his hand back, Zhou Beichen replied to her with two words stiffly.
"no."
Beautiful you.
Zhou Zeyun couldn't help but twitch his lips at the door after hearing this conversation. Why did he always feel that his father was bullying his sister and mother all the time? Would he find some reasons to exploit him in the future?
Since his sister was fine, Zhou Zeyun returned to the Shangshufang with peace of mind. It would have been fine if he hadn't gone back, but when he did, he was shocked.
The Shangshufang was crowded with ministers, including His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and behind him were his eight sons, each shorter than the last.
At this time, they were marching towards the Xuan Zheng Hall in a mighty procession. The ministers were feeling very nervous. Why did the emperor suddenly ask them to bring their children to see him? Could it be that their children had gotten into trouble?
As expected, as soon as they entered the hall, they saw the punishment bench placed in the center of the hall and Zhou Zhaonuan nestled in Zhou Beichen's arms with red eyes. The ministers immediately understood that the eldest princess was beaten because she did not study hard.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live His Majesty!"
Zhou Beichen snorted disdainfully, "Alright, stop singing your praises. Look at this bunch of losers you raised. What kind of shit is this? They're not even as good as my four-year-old daughter."
When Zhou Zhaonuan was mentioned, Zhou Beichen raised his neck proudly.
"If the descendants of my Great Crimson Moon family are all this bunch of useless people, then within a few years, the country will be destroyed."
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Beichen threw a large piece of paper on the table down and scattered it to the ground. The ministers all wilted like ripe cabbages, lowering their heads, not daring to look up, their hearts beating very fast.
It was miserable enough that they were scolded by the emperor every day because of state affairs. Unexpectedly, today, they would be scolded again because of the child. They really gave birth to a troublesome thing.
"All of you, get out! The children will kneel for three hours, and you will stand for three hours. If I find out that these companions and descendants of noble families start causing trouble again and treating my palace as their own, I will hold you directly accountable."
Zhou Beichen was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, especially when he saw those children kneeling on the ground and shivering. He stood up, picked up his daughter, and walked away with graceful steps.
The ministers acted as if they had been pardoned. They immediately pulled their sons and, under Deshun's command, knelt in a row according to the size of their official positions. They also consciously lined up and stood in a row. Soon, the ministers who knelt as punishment formed a beautiful landscape at the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall, which attracted whispers from the eunuchs and palace maids passing by.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling.
Zhou Zhaonuan felt very depressed as she watched her small quilt, small pillow, and even the small cabinet her mother made for her to store things being carried out bit by bit by Deshun.
The little round ball stood in front of Shen Nian'an with his hands on his hips, grinning and talking.
"If possible, I don't want this lousy dad anymore."
"Once Dad comes, I have to go with him and won't be able to be with Mom."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
You silly girl, if you don’t make your dad angry, will you die?
However, seeing that Shen Nian'an was a little distraught, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with his daughter's departure, but there was nothing he could do, after all, the imperial power was supreme.
Zhou Beichen laughed so proudly.
Think of your daughter!
I just won’t give it to you.
Think about it!
However, if you kneel down before me, admit your mistakes and repent, I may soften my heart and even let her have a meal with you. Otherwise, forget it.
