"Please don't be angry with Nuannuan, Daddy, Mommy, I..."
While admitting her mistakes, Zhou Zhaonuan kept sighing in her heart. She was afraid that she had knelt for the past few years in the past two days.
"But don't worry, my daughter will work hard to find the people connected to the men in black."
Still no one spoke, and the hall was filled with a long-lasting silence.
After a long time, just when Zhou Zhaonuan could no longer hold back and was about to run to Zhou Beichen to act coquettishly, a cold voice finally came from above her head.
"Yes, he died yesterday."
Zhou Beichen nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes, it was all my daughter's negligence."
Her servile appearance made Zhou Beichen couldn't help laughing. She usually acted recklessly, but now she had a purpose and started to pretend to be gentle and ladylike, and she didn't make him angry anymore.
The man in black has ordered people to investigate. If he is too late, he can only come back and wait for the results. During this period, the palace must strengthen its defenses.
"Since it was your negligence, then, let's do this. For the time being, you will stay in the palace and reflect on your mistakes. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of Yingyue Pavilion... or even step out of the palace gates."
Zhou Beichen wanted to confine her in Yingyue Pavilion, but then he thought that if it took too long, with Zhou Zhaonuan's temper, she would probably poke a hole in Yingyue Pavilion, or she would get suffocated and become hairy.
"ah......"
"Daddy, don't..."
No, what is she doing, father?
Zhou Zhaonuan was about to explode with anger, and crawled over on her knees regardless of anything. After being glared at sternly by Zhou Beichen, she stood up dejectedly, bounced her knees, and heard Zhou Beichen's cold scolding voice.
"If you want to come over, just stand up and walk over. Why are you crawling? That's so embarrassing. Besides, do you want your knees?"
At this moment, Zhou Zhaonuan felt really wronged.
"Daddy, I need your knees, but I also need Nuannuan to leave the palace. Otherwise, if she stays in the palace every day, she might suffocate to death. Do you have the heart to see your daughter reduced to a pile of bones when you return?"
"It's just nonsense."
Zhou Beichen couldn't help but pat her on the back.
"What do you mean by a pile of bones? Your sisters have never left the palace since they were young, and they are alive and well."
Zhou Zhaonuan twitched his nose and lowered his head again, rarely arguing with him.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
This girl was different from him and didn't argue with him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
He nodded her head and said, "You wanted to leave the palace, but you did make a mistake. This time, I will not let you mess around. During this time, you should cultivate yourself in the palace and behave like a princess. Zhou Zhaonuan, when I come back, if I find out where you secretly went, believe it or not, I will really break your legs."
Zhou Zhaonuan shook his head in disbelief, tugged at his sleeves, and shook them, "Daddy, you must be lying."
Zhou Beichen looked at her with a half-smile, "You can try telling the truth or lying, but, Nuannuan, don't forget, a king's words are not a joke, and you are no exception."
At this time, Zhou Beichen was not afraid of hurting her feelings. He saw that Zhou Zhaonuan's eyes were really red and her nose was twitching. He did not coax her as he did before, but his voice became more harsh.
"Do you remember what I said?"
Zhou Zhaonuan raised her head gloomily, and saw an extremely stern face. She didn't dare not reply.
"Remember, if Nuannuan doesn't run away, stay in the palace and wait for Daddy to come back."
"That's great! Then, from today on, you will confine yourself to the palace and reflect on your mistakes."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out. Looking at Zhou Beichen's back, and then at her mother, Zhou Zhaonuan felt that her world was dark.
"Mother..."
She ran to Shen Nian'an, and undoubtedly, she also received a roll of eyes, "Okay, now go back to your Yingyue Pavilion."
"......yes."
After the people left, Shen Nian'an felt much cooler in her head. Concubine Liang watched silently from the side. She didn't say a word just now. She had planned to watch the show. Who knew that this emperor, this so-called house arrest, was really ridiculous. He really regarded Zhou Zhaonuan as a treasure.
She felt lost for a moment, but Concubine Liang quickly cheered up. The more she cared about it, the sadder she would be when the matter was revealed.
Concubine Liang thought so, bowed to Chen Nian'an, and hurried to catch up with Zhou Beichen who was heading to Xuanzheng Hall.
On the way back, Zhou Zhaonuan felt extremely bored. The sun was very strong and it felt warm on people, but it was still too hot. For a moment, it made people feel a little uncomfortable.
There were some goldfish raised in the pond in the imperial garden, and there were palace servants taking care of them. Zhou Zhaonuan was racking his brains to think of a way to leave the palace, so he simply sat down on a stone and saw fish food on it. He thought it was put there by the palace servants, who were busy with other things.
She grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the pond. The golden fish rolled and jumped and swarmed over. In a moment, the fish food disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Zhaonuan supported his forehead with one hand, grabbed another handful with the other hand, and was about to throw it in when a sudden sound came into his ears.
"Princess, please stop. I've already fed them enough food. If you add more, they might die of overeating."
"Who are you? You are so blind that you have no business to bother me, the princess?"
She was already angry, and when she heard the sound that gave her a headache, Zhou Zhaonuan almost instantly threw the fish food back to its original place and stood up. Sure enough, she saw Jiang Yanfeng in a blue robe. The breeze blew, making his robe sway slightly and his hair move slightly. He seemed to be refreshed.
In the past few years, Jiang Yanfeng has grown up gradually, and his previous baby fat has long disappeared, replaced by a handsome appearance with a kind of cold and aloof feeling that keeps strangers away. But such a person, when he meets Zhou Zhaonuan, is like a follower, and he can't help but move closer as soon as he sees her.
"Jiang Yanfeng, what's wrong with me feeding the fish? Who asked you to meddle in this business? Besides, the fish in this palace are all raised by my father. Even if I stuff them to death, it's none of your business."
Finally, there was someone who could be "bullied" at will, which provided a breakthrough for Zhou Zhaonuan's depressed mood.
Zhou Zhaonuan stepped forward and kicked Jiang Yanfeng hard.
"ah......"
There was a scream, and even a few leaves fell from the trees in the imperial garden. Jiang Yanfeng hugged his feet and wailed in pain, spinning in circles on the spot, his mouth crooked and his teeth clenched.
"I wonder if I have offended Princess Chang'an, causing you to treat me so harshly."
In the past few days, Jiang Yanfeng has been wanting to find Zhou Beichen and ask him to teach him martial arts, but he has never had the time.
