The next second, she opened her mouth wide in grievance and almost yelled, "You bad Nuannuan, if I didn't explain everything to you yesterday, I couldn't sleep all night."
“Wow wow wow…”
Caramel opened her mouth and cried very loudly, but there was not a single tear. Zhou Zhaonuan was so shocked that she quickly covered her ears.
"Tangtang, my dear Tangtang, please stop shouting and it's deafening."
Caramel seemed to have heard it and stopped crying. Then, she rolled her eyes at Zhou Zhaonuan and said unwillingly.
"Nuan Nuan, you made me sleep poorly all night. I don't care. You have to stay with me. Today, I still have to stay in the palace. Today, I will make sure you don't sleep well all night."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
What a childish way of revenge.
Zhou Zhaonuan didn't answer her immediately. Caramel Tangtang knelt on the bed and said something again with great grievance.
"Nuan Nuan, why don't you answer me and promise me? Do you want to kick me out of the palace? Do you think I'm stupid and in your way?"
Zhou Zhaonuan was completely overwhelmed. "It bothers you? Where do you get the idea from?"
Now, Zhou Zhaonuan had only one thought in his mind: when a scholar meets a soldier, it is difficult for him to explain his reason.
"I don't."
Zhou Zhaonuan shook his head and retorted with his neck stiff, "But I thought I destroyed the doll, and you could tell. Who knew you..."
It’s not that I didn’t guess it, I didn’t even guess it at all. I just thought about it all night.
Zhou Zhaonuan pursed her lips and stopped talking. Caramel looked at her and pursed her lips again.
"So, Nuannuan, what you mean is... am I stupid?"
I don’t know what happened to Caramel today. Her tears kept falling down like beads with broken strings.
Zhou Zhaonuan was extremely worried, but she didn't know what to say. The main reason was that for so many years, the relationship between Jiaotangtang and her was no longer that of a study partner and a princess. So she simply decided to close the study room today.
"I didn't, Sugar, I really didn't."
Zhou Zhaonuan tried hard to explain that today, the two of them refused to leave. Just when Caramel said again, "Really?", Biyu pushed the door in with a smile on her face.
"Princess, Miss Tangtang, it's time to wash up and have dinner. The sun is almost up. Princess, you didn't attend the morning court today. However, Xiao Shunzi, who serves the emperor, came early this morning and said that the princess will do the same as usual. When the Shangshufang is closed, you will naturally have the morning court day off as well."
Zhou Zhaonuan nodded, feeling warm inside at what Zhou Beichen had done for her.
After giving Caramel a big hug, he also said a lot of words.
"Of course, Tangtang, how could I think you're stupid? You and I have been together for so many years and have even slept in the same bed. There's no way there's anything secretive that can't be told."
"Nuannuan~"
"You're so nice~"
Only then did Jiaotangtang burst into laughter and moved closer to her. Just when Jiaotangtang wanted to hug Zhou Zhaonuan again.
"Fuck you, that's too corny. Come on, let's go eat."
While having breakfast, Zhou Zhaonuan kept thinking about who the culprit was this time. The replacement doll had not been made yet. Fortunately, no one came to Yingyue Pavilion at the moment. He just didn't know how that person would get the thing out.
"Princess... Princess, I have finished making the doll. Please take a look and see if it is suitable. If not, I will go back and think about it again. I absolutely cannot delay your important matter. Also... Also, please do not be angry if I did not hand it over on time."
Biyu was an embroiderer by profession, so this was the easiest thing for her to do. But considering finding the fabric and doing the embroidery, it would take several hours to sew an exquisite cloth doll, which was always less than enough time.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Zhou Zhaonuan took the things casually. After taking a look, he was extremely satisfied. He nodded immediately and gave Biyu a thumbs up.
"That's great, that's great, Jasper. By the way, you must be hungry. Come over and have breakfast."
Biyu spoke haltingly, her eyes were dull, her eyelids drooped and she couldn't lift them up. Her usually cheerful face was now lifeless, which made Zhou Zhaonuan feel extremely uncomfortable. However, at this critical moment, she had no choice but to do this.
She was shocked by these words. The princess was the master and she was a servant. How could a servant sit and eat with the master?
Biyu was much more energetic, but she still couldn't open her eyes. Her body resisted and moved backwards. Moreover, she was so sleepy that being hungry was not a big deal.
"No... no, Princess, I won't eat. I'm not hungry. If you don't have any instructions, I'll go back to sleep."
Biyu was waiting for Zhou Zhaonuan's signal, but someone came forward and pulled her. Then, she was forcefully pressed on the dining table by Zhou Zhaonuan. After a while, a bowl of fragrant white rice was placed in front of her. The tempting aroma instantly opened Biyu's long-closed taste buds. Seeing Jialetang handing her chopsticks and Zhou Zhaonuan picking up some food for her, Biyu ignored everything and started eating with big mouthfuls, thinking only that after eating, she would go back to sleep. There were too many things going on in the palace these days, and she didn't sleep well because she had been running around with the princess a few days ago.
With her mouth wide open, Biyu picked up the chopsticks and gobbled down the food. In less than a moment, she had finished a bowl of white rice. Zhou Zhaonuan wanted to serve her more, but Biyu said she didn't want any. Seeing that there was still water on the table, she gulped down a big bowl and walked drowsily towards the west wing where the servants lived.
Look at that swaying back and the light steps.
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
Feeling sad.
Okay, it’s decided. I’ll wait for Biyu to wake up and give her an extra hundred taels of silver so that she can give it to her wife, children and the elderly at home.
"Tangtang, keep eating. I'll put the things back where they belong. Maybe someone will find an opportunity to bring Daddy over later."
The facts were exactly as Zhou Zhaonuan had expected.
After Zhou Beichen finished his morning court session, he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the ministers who had suffered setbacks because of Zhou Zhaonuan.
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, they can't stand Princess Chang'an, but they can't do anything about her. Look, the people in the Censorate today are complaining about this and that, but none of their reasons are valid. However, since Princess Chang'an took office, she has done good things that benefit the country and the people. She has done good things for the people, such as porridge shops, cloth, and even brothels. Everything she has done has benefited the country and the people."
Deshun shook off the dust and felt happy when he mentioned Zhou Zhaonuan. The only flaw was that the princess was not his daughter. It would have been even better if the princess was his daughter.
