Concubine Liang's heart brightened up, and she glanced at Shen Nian'an provocatively. Realizing that she had lost her composure, she raised her head slightly, and with a wave in her eyes, she stood up along the broad palm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After coming out of the Pepper Room, Zhou Zhaonuan went to Yingyue Pavilion first. So many girls were arranged by her to stay in an inn in the capital, except Liu Qingqing. After she came back, she went to Yingyue Pavilion with Jiao Tangtang.
"Tangtang, have you finished your meal?"
In the hall, Caramel's eyes lit up when he heard the voice. He stood up and ran straight to the door.
"Nuannuan, my dear Nuannuan, you are back. I have finished eating. I have finished eating. Now that you are back, I have to go back to the mansion. I haven't seen my parents for such a long time. I miss them so much. By the way, this is the handkerchief Qingqing made for you. She was embarrassed to give it to you herself, so she asked me to give it to you. I am leaving now. I will come to the palace to find you tomorrow."
Suddenly, there was a handkerchief in her hand. Zhou Zhaonuan looked at Jiaotangtang's departing back and didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment. It was true that this period of time had really troubled her.
Caramel is a girl who cannot live without her mother.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the palace tomorrow."
The person ran farther and farther away and got on the carriage. She could only vaguely see Caramel waving at her. Zhou Zhaonuan shook her head slightly and walked towards the hall.
"Princess, you are back."
When Liu Qingqing saw the handkerchief in Zhou Zhaonuan's hand, her heart skipped a beat and her heartbeat quickened.
Zhou Zhaonuan casually said "hmm" and found a place to sit down. "I'm back. By the way, Qingqing, I've already found a shop in the capital. Tomorrow morning, I'll have Bilan take you there. You can teach a few girls first, and then let them teach other girls. After they're done, you can keep any girls you want. Just tell me then, and the shop will be yours for the time being. It's called Jinxiu Huafang."
Zhou Zhaonuan already had a business blueprint in her mind. She decided to make Jinxiu Huafang as big as the granary of the world. Of course, this is just the beginning, and she will expand it slowly in the future.
Zhou Zhaonuan frowned and thought, then glanced outside casually. It was already dark, and it was time to go to bed.
Thinking of Shen Nian'an's words, Zhou Zhaonuan felt warm in her heart and planned to get up and go to the Pepper Room Palace. Her mother was pregnant at this time, and as her only daughter, she must accompany her.
"Qingqing, I've already had a side hall prepared for you. You don't need to embroider anymore. You've been on the road for so long, you should rest up. Look at you, you even have dark circles under your eyes."
She didn't want to take Liu Qingqing to so many places, but Liu Qingqing was a prostitute. If she took her there, she could get many girls to come out voluntarily and follow her without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhaonuan's simple words of concern made Liu Qingqing's eyes red on the spot. She wiped her tears and almost knelt down to kowtow.
"The princess is a good princess. Throughout this journey, I have seen that the princess not only cares about me and those prostitutes, but also about the people of the world. Princess, I have figured it out. In this life, no matter what happens in the future, I will follow the princess and I will never change."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
Could it be like this? Her blood immediately boiled in her heart. Zhou Beichen and Shen Nian'an rarely praised her for doing these things, and if they did, it was only in a subtle way. Liu Qingqing was the first person to declare that she would follow her in the future no matter what, which made Zhou Zhaonuan extremely proud.
He hurriedly helped the man up, Zhou Zhaonuan's mouth was grinning so hard that he couldn't close it. "That's enough, I know your heart. Go to sleep well, I'm leaving now."
The little girl skipped out, her back gradually disappearing into the night. In the hall, Liu Qingqing clenched her fists. She must work hard to be a good embroiderer. Since the princess gave her everything, she must make a lot of money for the princess and do more things that benefit the country and the people.
Arriving at the Pepper Room, Zhou Zhaonuan really saw Shen Nian'an looking out the door. The little girl breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling lucky that she had come, otherwise her mother would have to stay here in the cold wind for a long time.
"Mother, I'm coming!"
Zhou Zhaonuan ran briskly and shouted briskly. After a few steps, she ran to Shen Nian'an and said, "Mother, why don't you go back to the bedroom? It's the middle of the night and you have to stay here in the cold wind. And Daddy is the same. He knew that Mother's belly was so big, but he went to another mother's place and didn't even come to accompany Mother for a while."
Zhou Zhaonuan pouted and complained about Zhou Beichen's "evil deeds". The palace maids and eunuchs in the Pepper Palace were no longer surprised by Zhou Zhaonuan. Anyway, the news reached the emperor, and the emperor himself didn't care, so why should they care?
Shen Nian'an was a little angry. He pulled his daughter's hand as if it were a treasure and walked towards the bedroom.
"You, Nuannuan, you're not a child anymore, but you always speak without thinking and always say bad things about your father behind his back. You can't do this anymore."
Zhou Zhaonuan glared and puffed up her lips, about to retort, "Mother...I won't."
Unexpectedly, she was caught off guard by Shen Nian'an. "Alright, I don't want to listen to your big principles. I have my own big principles. In short, whether it is what I said before or now, I don't want you to remember it firmly. I just hope you can understand it a little bit. Nuannuan, you must always remember that your father is not only your father, but also the father of many princes and princesses. The family, the country, the people and the people's livelihood have imprisoned him firmly in this life. Many times, you can't mess around."
That's what I said again!!
Zhou Zhaonuan said that her ears were callused from listening so much, as her mother always had to lecture her. Her father had clearly shown favoritism to her for so many years, so what was her mother worried about?
But in order to make Shen Nian feel at ease, the little girl nodded obediently, “Yes, yes, what mother said is right, Nuan Nuan treats him as her father in private, and as her king and father in public.”
Despite this, Shen Nian'an didn't say anything else. However, after a moment, he straightened his expression and said, "Nuannuan, I forgot. From now on, if your father goes to spend the night with that concubine, you can't talk about it casually. Tonight, your father is probably going to see the new noble lady."
Zhou Zhaonuan kept nodding and rolled her eyes privately. The more her mother told her not to speak, the more she insisted on speaking. In the future, she would run to her father and tell him, making it impossible for him to refute her.
Although it was not harmonious for an "old person" like her to hear the new people laughing and the old people crying, when she heard the two people in the side hall laughing for the first time, Concubine Liang almost crushed the cup while sitting on the bed.
When she first entered the palace, she wanted to have someone to rely on and liked to be with the emperor, but as time went by, she discovered that the emperor had a very big heart.
