Now it seems that it is true.
She knocked on the door for so long, but her father didn't come out to pay attention to her. She thought about how she never had to knock on the door when she came to her father's place before, and could just walk in directly.
No wonder, today Daddy even let her knock on the door without paying any attention to her, and Daddy didn't come to hug her.
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and the more uncomfortable he felt. Zhou Zhaonuan cried out "wow" and spoke incoherently while crying.
"Daddy... Daddy lied to me. Daddy said he loved me the most, but you really disappointed Nuannuan today. Nuannuan never thought that Daddy would push Nuannuan out because of the Queen Mother and the Second Princess."
"Since Daddy doesn't love me anymore, then I don't like him anymore. I'm leaving and going to find Mommy."
"Zhou Zhaonuan!"
Zhou Beichen suppressed his anger. He felt guilty towards his daughter, but guilt did not mean that he would allow her to challenge his bottom line again and again.
However, how could Yuantuanzi, who was as fearless as a newborn calf, take his anger seriously?
Zhou Zhaonuan even stomped his feet in anger, looking very fierce and aggressive.
"Hmph! Nuannuan is gone. Take care, Daddy."
After saying that, she ran away without caring about Zhou Beichen's expression or how happy the queen was.
She still held the two gold ingots tightly in her hands. She had originally wanted to give them to her father and treat him to a meal when she went out of the palace to play.
She also left a piece for her brother, but didn't have time to give it to him.
Looking at the back of the little boy with short legs moving very fast, Zhou Beichen spoke sternly.
"Zhou Zhaonuan, come back here. Do I allow you to leave?"
However, even if he said that, Yuantuanzi didn't take his words seriously. His two short legs were extremely useful, and in a short while, he was out of the gate of Xuanzheng Hall.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
Good, good and cruel!
This was the first time someone took his imperial edict lightly.
He was so angry that he almost laughed.
Just when the Queen thought Zhou Beichen was going to fly into a rage, she had already thought of some words to whisper in Zhou Beichen's ear so that that little bitch would completely fall out of favor, but suddenly she heard a "puff" laugh, and the Queen looked at him in confusion.
"Your Majesty, are you not angry?"
After glaring at her, Zhou Beichen stood with his hands behind his back and walked out, with the queen following closely behind him.
"I'm angry? She's my own daughter. Why should I be angry? If that girl is really afraid of me, I might be angry."
Queen: “???”
I am even more confused.
Zhou Beichen continued to speak, his whole body immersed in joy.
"Only my daughter is not afraid of me. Unlike those little cats and dogs, their legs tremble with fear when they see me. This girl, although she is a little unruly on weekdays, is like me. Her temper and fearless demeanor are exactly the same as mine when I was a child."
Queen: “???”
She said that the emperor might have been bewitched and liked to be abused, but how could she make He'er not be afraid of the emperor?
When the Queen thought about Ye Bihe being kicked, her head felt like it was about to burst.
Deshun followed Zhou Beichen and just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say that.
"Let's go to the Pepper Palace. That little girl must be crying her heart out. I want to go and see her."
After frowning and thinking for a while, Zhou Beichen said again.
"Deshun, I hereby declare that the eldest princess, Zhou Zhaonuan, possesses a gentle disposition, is well-educated, well-mannered, and filial and benevolent. She is hereby granted the title of First-Rank Princess Chang'an."
"The eldest prince, Zhou Zeyun, is of good character, prudent and self-controlled, and filial and benevolent. He is hereby enthroned as the King of Yan."
Yanshan and Chang'an are both first-class places. The emperor must have gone crazy. The queen's dignified and steady face is almost losing its composure, but she has to remain calm, because once her true face is revealed, she will be finished.
"Emperor..."
She looked at Zhou Beichen, her eyes filled with shock, but Zhou Beichen was in high spirits and didn't care about her at all. His eyes were full of the scene of the little girl getting to know him and affectionately calling him daddy. She was not afraid of him, would throw tantrums at him, and would even rub his legs. He couldn't lose such a caring daughter.
In the harem and the court, there are probably many people coveting his two children. It would be good for the children to have a mother of status.
Since he has no family background, why not just find a ready-made father for Concubine Chen?
The Minister of Rites, Shen Zishan, was a good example. When he was in high spirits, he spoke casually.
"I have investigated and found that Concubine Chen of the Pepper Palace is actually the youngest daughter of Minister of Rites Chen Zishan, who was living away from home. In recognition of her contributions to the birth of the imperial heir, her intelligent and virtuous nature, and her good character, I have specially conferred her the title of Concubine Hui."
The queen's eyes widened. This series of titles simply made her jaw drop.
Why? Isn't this like a phoenix flying up a tree in one day? Why did Shen Nian'an catch the emperor's eye?
"Your Majesty, this is probably against the rules. Throughout the dynasties, there has never been a rule that a prince or princess can be given a title of king at the age of four. Moreover, Concubine Shen has not given birth to a prince yet. If she is given the title of consort just like this, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among the court officials."
Zhou Beichen sneered.
"Humph! Dissatisfied? They are high-ranking officials of the court, yes, but I am still a tyrant. I will attend court tomorrow morning and see what they dare to complain about."
Queen: “…”
There were still people who called themselves tyrants. She straightened her expression and advised them again.
"Your Majesty, even if the ministers dare not speak openly, they might scold you behind your back. Then there will be the common people, who will talk about it. How will Your Majesty deal with it then?"
The queen's heart and eyes were full of Zhou Beichen, and she seemed to be thinking about Zhou Beichen all the time.
"Humph! I'm just giving my daughter what she deserves. What can they say?"
Turning his gaze to the queen, Zhou Beichen narrowed his eyes and seemed very dissatisfied.
"Empress, I gave Nuannuan a title, I gave Hanhan a title, and I named Concubine Chen the title of Concubine Hui. Does this make you uncomfortable? Is it blocking your way? That's why you are trying to stop me."
The queen was horrified. She fell to her knees at Zhou Beichen's feet, grabbing the corner of his clothes and crying.
"Your Majesty, I have been with you since you were a prince. I have been your wife for ten years. Over the years, I have devoted myself to you and managed your harem. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. How can Your Majesty think of me like this? I have not done anything."
With a sneer, Zhou Beichen's eyes became more and more unfriendly.
"Hmph! You didn't think so, but judging by your recent actions, Queen, it's really not difficult for you to make me think too much. Besides, explanation is a cover-up, and cover-up is the truth."
"emperor......"
The Queen stood up decisively and moved closer to Zhou Beichen, "Your Majesty, in the past, you believed everything I said.
