"What aunt? Don't call me aunt, Feiwan. I'm telling you, it's precisely because you're my niece that I slapped you. If you weren't my niece, I could have sent you before the Emperor based on what you just said and punished you for disrespect. Who is Hanhan? He's the eldest and smartest of all the Emperor's sons. Now that there's no Empress, he's the most honorable. The Emperor has high hopes for him. How could you say such things about my grandson in front of me?"
Fei Wan was slapped for no reason, and for this reason. She didn't listen to a word the Queen Mother said. At this moment, because of the Queen Mother's words of advice, she felt resentment towards Zhou Zeyun out of thin air.
Fei Wan pursed her lips, trying hard to hide her dissatisfaction. She felt that her sincerity was betrayed and it was not worth it.
Fei Wan knelt on the ground stubbornly. She thought that because of the friendship between her father and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would not punish her no matter what.
"what are you up to?"
The Queen Mother slammed the table with full majesty. Fei Wan immediately had tears in her eyes. She covered her face with a handkerchief and cried symbolically a few times.
"Show your loyalty."
"Aunt, Wan'er can assure you that if Zhou Zeyun becomes emperor in the future, he may not respect you too much."
The Queen Mother: “…”
Turning his gaze to the kneeling Fei Wan, he felt that her eyes were filled with many things, including dissatisfaction, unwillingness, resentment, grievance, and disappointment.
The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that Fei Wan was hopeless.
"madness!"
She threw the cup on the table towards Feiwan with great force. The cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces instantly.
The tea soaked her clothes, and Feiwan felt even more aggrieved. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Thinking of her brother, the Queen Mother sighed, suppressed her anger and helped Fei Wan up, then raised her hand to take away the hand that was touching Fei Wan's face.
Five obvious red fingerprints were clearly printed on half of his face, which was extremely glaring.
After all, she was her niece whom she had loved since she was a child. The Queen Mother felt a little distressed at this moment and had a moment of regret.
"Does it hurt?"
She couldn't help but soften her voice. When Fei Wan heard this, she felt even more wronged because she thought that she was thinking about her aunt wholeheartedly, but not only did she not listen, she even slapped her in the face.
He turned his head away and replied in a depressed tone.
"My aunt hit me. You are not only my aunt, but also the Queen Mother. Your status is extremely noble, so of course I took it."
"you......"
The Queen Mother was speechless and withdrew her hand that was pointing at Fei Wan. After hesitating for a moment, she helped Fei Wan up and let out a long sigh.
"Never mind, never mind. I won't argue with you. But Wan'er, you must understand that you are now the imperial concubine, and your cousin is the emperor. Things between you are destined to never be the same as before. Now, no matter what I say, you won't listen. But I hope you can see yourself clearly. If you want to regret and restore your innocence, now is not too late."
The Queen Mother spoke with great sincerity and sincerity, and she really cared about Feiwan. Feiwan twisted her body, and her whole face was full of resistance.
"Aunt, I won't. Since I've already married my cousin as his concubine, Wan'er will be his for the rest of her life. I will never regret it."
The Queen Mother didn't know what to say to Fei Wan's stubbornness for a moment, so she could only nod. "Well, since you're such a stubborn person, you won't listen to anything I say. So, you better take care of yourself."
Fei Wan breathed a sigh of relief. The Queen Mother finally stopped talking about this. She opened her mouth, trying to argue for herself a few more times.
"Aunt, since you have no objection, then please let the emperor come over today to see Wan'er."
The Queen Mother: “…”
His eyes almost popped out and he was about to agree when Zhou Zhaonuan changed his posture, skipped in from the doorway and leaned forward slightly.
"My grandson pays homage to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and happiness."
The moment she saw Zhou Zhaonuan, the Queen Mother seemed to be reborn. She put her beloved niece aside and waved to Zhou Zhaonuan affectionately.
"Nuannuan is back. After a few months of separation, I thought my granddaughter had forgotten her grandmother."
The Queen Mother was originally quite resistant to Zhou Zhaonuan's entry into the court. However, after hearing from the palace people that Zhou Zhaonuan had handled several things with her intelligence and wisdom, and after listening to Shen Nian'an's analysis, the Queen Mother gradually became less resistant to this matter.
Even a little satisfied.
The Queen Mother was so kind and amiable that Zhou Zhaonuan's uneasy heart immediately calmed down. She ran towards the Queen Mother with a relaxed attitude.
"Look at what the Queen Mother said, as if my grandson has no conscience."
Zhou Zhaonuan pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction. "Grandma, that's not true. My granddaughter just came back yesterday. After the morning court session today, I came to see you right away. Please don't wrongly accuse me."
The Queen Mother acted like a naughty child, touching Zhou Zhaonuan's little nose and teasing her.
"You came back yesterday and only came to my house today. How can you not be a heartless person?"
The Queen Mother deliberately put on a cold expression.
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
Shivering, she thought, "Oh no, the Queen Mother is not my father." She couldn't get angry easily, and she couldn't make a bunch of false claims.
Fei Wan, who had been acting as a background board and was dissatisfied but unable to vent, was extremely happy at this moment. She did not show it, but just looked at Zhou Zhaonuan without saying a word, and the happy expression on her face was almost uncontrollable.
Just as Zhou Zhaonuan was hesitating, a heavy voice came from the door.
"Mother, Nuannuan didn't come yesterday because I saw how tired she was from traveling all the way and wanted her to rest early. That's why Nuannuan came today. I hope you can bear with me."
The Queen Mother was stunned, and then she looked at Zhou Beichen who walked in with displeasure.
"My son has met his mother."
It was not until Zhou Beichen came to her and stroked her body that the Queen Mother deliberately stayed for a while before raising her hand and speaking in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to do this. I can't bear this. I was just joking with Nuannuan, how could I really blame her? It's a shame that Your Majesty arrived just in time."
The Queen Mother was sarcastic. Zhou Beichen thought about it for a moment and immediately understood. He was afraid that he had misunderstood the Queen Mother during this period. He originally thought that the Queen Mother was extremely disapproving of Nuan Nuan attending court and had been unfriendly to her for a long time.
Today, he heard that Nuannuan came to Ciwan Palace to pay her respects, so he put down the government affairs at hand and hurried over.
Zhou Beichen coughed awkwardly twice, "Mother, that's not right. It was my negligence after all."
As for her own son, the empress dowager naturally gave him a way out and immediately changed her face to be cheerful.
Fei Wan was watching everything from the side. She saw that Zhou Beichen hadn't even glanced at her since he came in because he felt very uncomfortable.
