"If Nuannuan likes it, I'll take her to Qianyuan Palace later."
The little tiger was still sleeping. When the chubby little hand touched it, the little tiger suddenly opened its eyes wide and looked at the round ball in front of it which was not much bigger than itself.
After letting out an "Ao~", the little tiger stretched out its tongue to lick Zhou Zhaonuan's little hand. "Little tiger, do you like Nuannuan?" As soon as Zhou Zhaonuan finished speaking in a baby voice, the little tiger looked at him, rolled his eyelids, and let out an "Ao~" before rubbing his head against Zhou Zhaonuan's little hand.
Deshun was amazed. It turned out that these days, tigers also knew how to adapt to the situation. When the tiger was just brought over, he took a peek at it and tried to pull it over, but the tiger didn't even open its eyes.
Could it be that he is not worthy?
Zhou Zhaonuan asked Biyu to pick up the little tiger, while she hugged Zhou Beichen, trying to please him.
"Daddy just said that Nuannuan can stay with mom for one night, so Nuannuan will go to the Pepper Room now."
Looking at the short legs moving so fast, Zhou Beichen felt lonely and sad.
Soon, in the evening, when Zhou Beichen arrived at the Pepper Room, Zhou Zhaonuan and Zhou Zeyun had already squeezed onto the bed, and had even changed into their bedclothes.
As soon as they heard the words "The Emperor has arrived", the two little guys nestled in Shen Nian'an's arms, not moving, for fear that they would be snatched away.
When Zhou Beichen entered the bedroom, he saw this scene. He was a little unhappy, but he didn't say it.
"Did my beloved go to bed early today?"
Shen Nian'an smiled wryly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. The two children were crying out for sleepiness, and I thought that since Your Majesty has so many concubines, he might not come to my place, so I went to bed early."
With a faint smile on his lips, Zhou Beichen lifted his robe, sat on the bed, and stretched his arm in front of Shen Nian'an.
"Undress. I'll rest here tonight. It's just right for me to spend time with my daughter and son."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
"You don't have arms or hands, but you can't take off your own clothes and you have to let others take them off for you. It seems you are a useless person who can't take care of yourself."
Her tone seemed to be questioning, but in fact it was affirmative.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
This damn woman will shine brightly if she is given some sunshine. She is addicted to scolding him, right? Does he really deserve to be scolded?
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Beichen said nothing. He quickly pinched Shen Nian'an's neck with one hand. Looking at someone's dead pig fearless appearance, Zhou Beichen sneered again.
He is not afraid anymore. There are people in this world who are not afraid of death.
He increased the strength in his hands.
"Chen Nian'an, you have scolded me several times, you really deserve to die!"
Shen Nian'an still didn't say anything, letting him pinch her neck tightly.
"Chen Nian'an, you really don't have a long memory. If you kowtow to me and beg for mercy, I will forgive you."
Shen Nian'an still didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
"Oh! You really are so brave."
Zhou Beichen's eyelids drooped and his face became ferocious, as if he really wanted to kill.
The two round balls were stunned and almost scared to death. Finally, they shook their heads and stood up together. Zhou Zhaonuan went to hit Zhou Beichen's arm, and Zhou Zeyun tried to pry Zhou Beichen's big hand open.
“Ah, ahhhh…”
Seeing that his strength was no match for the enemy, Zhou Zhaonuan shouted loudly, trying to increase his strength.
"Daddy, daddy, don't pinch me. Although you are Nuannuan's daddy, mommy is also Nuannuan's mommy."
Zhou Beichen paused, his eyes flickering as he looked at his daughter. He obviously didn't expect her to say such sensible words. Zhou Zeyun took over Nuannuan's unfinished words at the right time.
"Father, you have to control yourself. Mother is our mother. If you kill her, you will be murdering your wife. Then how can Nuannuan and Hanhan face their own father? Father, aren't you afraid that we will team up and usurp the throne?"
Zhou Beichen: “…”
These two little guys said such outrageous words as if it was a matter of course. They were quite frank, but this did not calm his anger.
The two kids became even angrier when they saw their daddy. Regardless of anything else, Nuannuan threw her head hard into Zhou Beichen's arms, grabbed his clothes, and tried her best to act coquettishly.
"Daddy is not a tyrant. Daddy won't kill people casually, right? Daddy, Mommy gave birth to your child. Mommy is very important to Daddy."
Zhou Zeyun also quickly hugged Zhou Beichen's hand, her eyes shining, "It's because mother cares about father, and doesn't treat father as an emperor, but as a husband, that she was rude to father. Mother just wants to be an ordinary couple with father, so, father, husband and wife should quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Don't be angry with mother, right?"
Zhou Beichen paused, and his grip couldn't help but loosen. For some reason, when he looked at Shen Nian'an who was breathing heavily, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
But the next moment, he became furious and pointed at the woman in front of him.
"Chen Nian'an, kneel down for me!"
Chen Nian'an paused. At this moment, her eyes were red, and two pitiful tears hung on her fair face. She looked extremely pitiful.
It was obvious that Shen Nian’an was frightened just now, and she obeyed numbly, kneeling beside him with her head lowered.
"I understand what Your Majesty means. You are the ruler of a country. This is my fault. I have overstepped my bounds. I shouldn't have been rude to Your Majesty several times just because I consider you my husband. I shouldn't have tested Your Majesty's feelings for me. I know I was wrong and I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
What's the point of this? I can't do it to him.
Although he was angry when Shen Nian'an treated him unruly, he didn't feel uncomfortable in his heart. At this moment, he only felt that his heart was blocked and uncomfortable.
What is this weird feeling?
He felt very uncomfortable, like he was having a seizure, and helped Shen Nian'an up. He saw Shen Nian'an staring at him blankly, with a layer of mist in his eyes, and he didn't say anything.
Zhou Beichen sighed from the bottom of his heart.
It's over. It seems that he has offended the only person who is not afraid of him and treats him as her husband.
Zhou Beichen said awkwardly, patting her head.
"Well, my beloved, I was careless just now. I don't know what you are thinking, so you should figure it out yourself. If you figure it out, you will feel relieved."
"I suddenly remembered that there are still some memorials to be approved in Xuanzheng Hall. You three, have a good rest. I am leaving."
Deshun didn't know why the Emperor went in so excitedly and came out with a gloomy face. He just thought that he might have been humiliated by Concubine Hui again and was unsatisfied.
Back in Xuan Zheng Hall, Zhou Beichen put aside his romantic thoughts and focused on national affairs.
