His mother had worked so hard to bring them up to where they are today, so he listened to her.
Zhou Beichen looked at his son and felt a little happy in his heart. Fortunately, his son was like him, not like his daughter, who was extremely stupid and could do nothing except eating.
On the way back to the palace, Ye Bihe was still confused. She didn't know why her parents secretly abandoned her and ran away. She didn't understand why her aunt said that her parents were dead. She didn't know how she became a princess in such a daze.
"Aunt, from now on, He'er can't leave the palace anymore?"
The queen held her hand, walked very slowly, and answered patiently with a smile on her face.
"He'er, from now on, Auntie will be your mother. You should call her Mother. Later, if you please your father, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory. As for whether you can leave the palace, you can still do so after your father agrees."
"Oh, mother."
Ye Bihe lowered her head. It had only been one day, and she already missed her mother and father. However, her mother said that entering the palace was an incredible honor and asked her to be obedient.
But she wanted to go home.
In this world, what is more terrifying than ghosts is the human heart.
Ye Bihe changed her surname and, with the Queen's help, successfully entered the royal jade book.
For Zhou Beichen, it doesn’t matter whether he has this daughter or not, but for the queen, it is different. This is her brother’s biological daughter, so she is no different from her daughter.
"He'er, remember, you must maintain a good relationship with the eldest princess and the eldest prince."
Ye Bihe nodded obediently, not knowing how many times the Queen had said this to her.
"I understand, Mother."
After a month of living together, she finally felt a little more comfortable in the palace.
"Nuannuan, why is it that the Second Princess's way of speaking, her actions, even the color of her clothes and the way she walks, are all so much like you?"
During the break in the Shangshufang, Jiaotangtang tugged at Zhou Zhaonuan's sleeve, her eyes shining brightly as she muttered softly.
"Who knows? Maybe she thinks I walk nicely and wear nice clothes. Or maybe she's copying me so she can get a beating from Daddy all the time."
Caramel: “…”
Forget it, only her princess would treat such heavy and deep favor as a violent beating.
Zhou Zhaonuan rolled his eyes at Ye Bihe's back, and the little round ball swayed his body and went to read a book.
"Nuan Nuan, my mother made this. She said she didn't have a daughter, so she asked me to give it to you."
"Nuannuan."
"Nuannuan."
“…”
Not long after, when Zhou Zhaonuan saw the ten large gold ingots in front of her, she felt that she had made a fortune.
When she looked up again, she found that the ten sons of the King of Qi, her ten cousins, were staring at her with eyes as if they wanted to steal her away.
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
"Sister Nuannuan, this is a token of my mother's love. Please accept it."
Zhou Zhaonuan was stunned for a second, then the little guy smiled secretly and put the ten small pieces of gold into the small bag in the blink of an eye.
That was real gold, real gold, which could be used to buy many things. With this, she would have the capital to yell at her father, and maybe he would stop scolding her for being stupid. As for the rest, she would hide it and keep it. In case her father got furious one day and really wanted to beat her up, she could take these gold bars and run away.
Zhou Zeyun watched his sister's operation from behind, helplessly holding his forehead.
After finally leaving the Shangshufang, Zhou Zhaonuan immediately ran to the Pepper Room holding the small gold ingot which was heavy for her.
"Nuannuan, Nuannuan, wait for me."
No matter how Zhou Zeyun shouted from behind, she did not stop.
"Mother, mother, look at what I have."
The little guy’s cheerful voice came in, and Shen Nian’an was talking to the virtuous concubine inside.
"What happened that makes Nuannuan so happy?"
As soon as he entered the inner hall and saw that there was another person sitting inside, a look of wariness appeared on the little round dumpling's chubby face.
But he still bowed, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Concubine."
"Mother, no, no, Nuannuan wants to go to the bedroom where Nuannuan slept before. Nuannuan is tired and wants to sleep."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
She blinked and stared at the small bag in her daughter's hand. She felt that there was something fishy going on.
"If Concubine Shen has something to do, I will leave first."
Shen Nian'an nodded and quietly walked towards the bedroom. As soon as he entered, he saw a little butt squatting beside the bed, twisting and turning, and no one knew what it was doing.
"Nuannuan."
Shen Nian'an screamed, and the little guy was frightened, turned around and swallowed his saliva.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
Shen Nian'an looked at her daughter's little movements with amusement, "Let me see what our Nuan Nuan is doing. Can I show my mother what's in Nuan Nuan's little bag?"
A look of unwillingness appeared on Zhou Zhaonuan's round face, and the little guy waved his hands while backing away.
Finally, with a frown on his face and as if he had made up his mind, he took out the small box and opened it. Ten tiny gold ingots, the size of fingernails, appeared before his eyes.
Shen Nian’an: “…”
Nuan Nuan hugged Shen Nian'an with a smile and spoke softly.
"Mother, this is what the brothers from Prince Qi's Mansion gave to Nuannuan. It's ten yuan in total, enough to buy a lot of things. Now Nuannuan is giving you one yuan, and you can't take it from now on. This is all Nuannuan has."
With a wicked smile on her lips, Shen Nian accepted the filial piety from her daughter with peace of mind, "Since Nuan Nuan is given to mother, then mother will accept it."
Then she saw her daughter's little ears drooping visibly.
Shangshufang.
Although he had sent people out to deal with the flood, he was still worried. After some discussion, Zhou Beichen decided to go on a secret tour ten days later. He wanted to go and see for himself how those officials who received salaries did their work.
"Wang Da, you will keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Residence for me. Report any disturbance immediately."
"yes."
The moment Wang Da disappeared, Zhou Beichen's eyes became increasingly dark and unclear, as if he was thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, the Empress and the Second Princess request an audience."
A shrill voice broke the rare silence in Xuanzheng Hall, and Zhou Beichen rubbed his brows in annoyance.
"Let them in."
The Queen and the Second Princess looked at each other. Ye Bihe was afraid, but even so, she did not dare to go against the wishes of her current mother.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, and your father, I pay my respects to you!"
Like the queen, Ye Bihe performed a dignified and solemn salute.
"Get up."
Looking down, Zhou Beichen looked at the second princess carefully. Suddenly, he almost scared himself. Why does this person look so much like his little daughter?
Following the Queen's signal, Ye Bihe had no choice but to bite the bullet, run to Zhou Beichen, and hug his thighs.
