"But, sister, and Brother Yu and Brother En, since you've taken us two with you, you must take them with you as well."
This time Zhou Zhaonuo pretended to be pitiful. Zhou Zhaonuan looked up, speechless and gazing at the sky. At this moment, she wished that the two little girls in front of her would become two naughty boys so that she could exert her power.
Afraid that the two little ancestors would cry again because of grievances, Zhou Zhaonuan tried her best to hold back her strength, and when she lowered her head, she finally maintained a full smile.
Zhou Zhaonuan spoke very gently as her fingers gently moved across the faces of the two little guys below.
"Okay, you two brothers should go too, both of you."
"Really?"
Facing her two pairs of big eyes full of suspicion, Zhou Zhaonuan felt like she was about to laugh out of anger, but she tried her best to hold it back and nodded.
"Of course, dear, you two go to the palace gate now and wait for my sister to come out of the Queen Mother's Palace, then we will leave."
"That's great!"
The restraints on her thighs were instantly loosened. Seeing the two sisters running away, Zhou Zhaonuan wanted to fly up and kick the two little guys out, but she didn't dare. If she made them cry, she would have to work hard to comfort them, which would be so troublesome.
Shaking her head, Zhou Zhaonuan quickly walked towards the Empress Dowager's palace. Today, she had to leave the palace to check on the embroidery workshop, so she had to hurry.
"Aunt, it's fine that the Emperor dotes on Princess Chang'an, but lately, he's rarely been to the harem. And he's recently been given a new title of noble lady. If this continues, when will your niece get pregnant? You know, I've always wanted to have a child of my own with my cousin."
As soon as Zhou Zhaonuan walked to the gate of Ciwan Palace, she heard this sentence: the people inside called the empress dowager "Aunt". Zhou Zhaonuan turned her head and instantly remembered the origin of Concubine Wan inside.
This Concubine Wan was named Fei Wan. Originally, the Queen Mother was unwilling to let her brother's child enter the palace to serve her son. Firstly, she did not want her brother to think that he would be arrogant after his daughter became a concubine and had a child. Secondly, the Queen Mother subconsciously did not want her son to do that kind of thing with her niece. Although she knew and understood that such things were very common in the royal family since ancient times, she always felt that it was weird.
But her brother insisted on his own way, and even said that Feiwan had already fallen deeply in love with Zhou Beichen, and she didn't want to live in this life if she didn't marry her cousin. When Feiwan entered the palace, she was carried in. The empress dowager thought of her brother coming with his dying daughter that day and begging her miserably. She didn't want to agree, but who would have thought that Feiwan would just hit her head against the pillar. Now, the empress dowager had no choice but to give in.
The Queen Mother's eyes, which had just been closed, suddenly opened, and she glared at Fei Wan. She pulled back the hand that Fei Wan was holding, tapped Fei Wan's forehead hard, and said that she was very disappointed in her.
"You and your cousin have always wanted to have your own children, Wan'er. In my opinion, if the emperor hadn't considered me, he would have thrown you out the moment your father brought you to the palace, since you failed to hang yourself. How could he have made you Consort Wan for your father's sake?"
The Queen Mother's tone was bad, full of anger and doubt.
Feiwan: “…”
She lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed. After mentally preparing herself, Fei Wan mustered up her courage, squatted down, and stared at the Queen Mother with starry eyes.
"But, Aunt, Wan'er has been playing with my cousin since we were little. We are considered childhood sweethearts, but Wan'er just doesn't understand why. After I went away with my father for a few years and came back again, Wan'er asked him to take me as his concubine. After he refused, my cousin became a completely different person. Every time he sees me, his eyes are filled with disgust."
Speaking of this, Fei Wan immediately got a headache. She entered the palace not for any other reason but because she loved her cousin too much. From the time she first fell in love to now, she had wanted to say it when her cousin ascended the throne, but her father did not agree. Now, after she had been asking for trouble again and again, her father finally gave in.
She thought she was only one step away from her goal, but unexpectedly, the hurdle with her father was just the beginning.
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at her. At this moment, she only felt that Fei Wan was a big trouble that could make her upset at any time.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and didn't want to speak, but Fei Wan quickly took her hand and put it close to her.
"Aunt, no matter what, Wan'er is your niece. Can you really bear to watch your niece die alone in the deep palace? Besides, my father is your brother. If my niece is favored and has children, then your position in the harem will be secure. From now on, you don't have to worry about anything."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother felt her blood rushing to her head and her brain was buzzing.
Fei Wan was so engrossed in her speech that she didn't notice the sudden change in the Queen Mother's expression. She spoke with great joy, "Aunt, think about it. If Wan'er is truly pregnant, and since she's your niece, and she gives birth to a prince, if Wan'er is lucky enough to ascend to that position, then the throne will fall into our family, which is definitely better than falling to Shen's son."
"Aunt, no matter what, if Wan'er gives birth to a prince, he will definitely be better than Zhou Zeyun. You..."
Feiwan fantasizes about the beautiful day when she will become the queen, in charge of the six palaces, and her child will become the crown prince.
With a "slap", a slap that resounded through the sky exploded on the left half of the face. The Queen Mother used great strength to hit Fei Wan's head directly to the side. After responding, Fei Wan immediately covered her cheek with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Aunt...Aunt, Wan'er is just thinking about you. Why did you hit me? Aunt, Wan'er is your niece."
Since she was a child, the Queen Mother had always been very kind to Fei Wan. At home, her parents had never slapped her or scolded her. Now, the Queen Mother slapped her, which really made Fei Wan feel that her self-esteem was gone and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
After saying this, she covered her face and burst into tears. The Queen Mother snorted coldly. She used to feel sorry for Fei Wan, but now, she was just filled with deep anger.
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand, her fingers trembling slightly as she pointed at Fei Wan.
"Fei Wan, from the time you were little until now, I've always treated you well as your aunt. For example, after your cousin ascended the throne, I found you many husbands to choose from. Whether you were unwilling or disgusted, I never said anything. But now, you're publicly saying that Han Han is wrong, and that's you."
"aunt......"
Fei Wan pursed her lips and deliberately prolonged the ending tone, looking extremely pitiful. The Queen Mother laughed angrily.
