Of course, what he didn't know was that the real reason why Zhou Zhaonuan couldn't continue studying was that what the tutor said was too boring.
"I'm going to make you die of beauty then!"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhou Zhaonuan twisted her body and her proud little look came out.
Jiang Yanfeng: “…”
Looking at such a narcissistic little guy, black lines flashed across his head. He said that he had never seen such a shameless person.
Yes, she is a princess and has the capital. She is different. She has only one father in the family who can only farm and has worked hard to raise her to this age.
Looking awkwardly at Jiang Yanfeng who was standing beside him, Zhou Beichen suddenly wanted to hit the daughter in his arms with a stick. She wanted to be the top scholar, but in his opinion, she might as well be a dung beetle.
Nodding his daughter's head vigorously, Zhou Beichen scolded, "You should stop bragging. Others study hard by lamplight every night, while you work hard by lamplight every night. In the future, don't embarrass me, or I will have to burn incense at my ancestors' graves."
Zhou Beichen's tone was full of disgust. Nuannuan got angry and turned her head away, not wanting to look at this annoying father.
Deshun, on the other hand, kept complaining in his heart, saying that the princess ate every night, which was better than you who had fun every night and fought three hundred rounds with concubines.
"Daddy, Nuannuan wants to go down."
Having been humiliated by her father in front of outsiders, Zhou Zhaonuan pouted her cherry lips and patted Zhou Beichen's big hand very naturally, signaling him to put her down.
Shaking his head helplessly, Zhou Zhaonuan felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it after the man got off the ground. Finally, the little guy breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had made up his mind, stood in front of Zhou Beichen, and raised two thumbs up.
"Daddy looks down on Nuannuan."
Zhou Beichen paused, touched his nose, and spoke ambiguously.
"How can you say that? I didn't say anything about you."
Zhou Zhaonuan turned her butt towards him, which made her even more dissatisfied.
"Nuannuan is going to sign a military order with Dad today. If she doesn't pass the martial arts exam before the 15th, she will die."
Zhou Beichen was stunned, so shocked that he almost wanted to curse. Then he looked at Jiang Yanfeng who was standing next to him with a puzzled look on his face, looking at Zhou Zhaonuan as if she was a fool, and stopped thinking of cursing.
He was an emperor eager to seek talented people, but he couldn't scare the top scholar just because of a momentary eloquence. That would be counterproductive.
His tone became slightly more serious as he tried to persuade his daughter.
"Nuannuan, do you know what this military order means? If you can't do it, people will die."
Zhou Zhaonuan pouted, and the little guy spoke seriously.
"It is precisely because I know this that I want to issue a military order. I saw those ministers issue one, so today, Nuannuan will also issue one."
"But, Nuannuan..."
Zhou Beichen put on a very peaceful expression again, trying to let his daughter give up on her own. He didn't want to kill his daughter.
"Nuannuan, think twice before you act."
Zhou Zhaonuan stamped her feet anxiously and waved her two little hands in protest.
"Daddy, Nuannuan has thought it over, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
He held his forehead in pain, and suddenly felt that he was a scholar meeting a soldier, and he couldn't explain himself clearly.
Finally, he took a deep breath and sighed.
"Considering that you are a child, from now on, if you cannot do it, you cannot die. I will directly beat you with twenty sticks, and this matter will be over."
Zhou Zhaonuan wanted to say something, but Zhou Beichen's expression turned cold and he scolded her with a stern face.
"Alright, stop messing around. What's the point of being the top scholar? I think you should just finish the homework assigned by your tutor."
Although Zhou Beichen was already angry, she said she was not afraid, but she was still a little afraid. Zhou Zhaonuan nodded obediently and made up her mind to study literature and martial arts seriously from now on. She didn't believe that she could not learn those things.
"Nuannuan knows, Nuannuan knows. Then, Daddy, Nuannuan will take my little tutor to the Shangshufang right now. You can take your time reviewing the memorials here. Oh, by the way, starting from tomorrow, Nuannuan will go to the Shangshufang for the first half of the day, and for the second half, please find a master for Nuannuan. Nuannuan wants to learn martial arts."
Seeing Xiaotuanzi's determined and confident look, Zhou Beichen couldn't bear to discourage her and nodded reluctantly.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw his daughter taking Jiang Yanfeng's hand in a familiar manner and walking to the door regardless of anything.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
Looking at the two short figures, Zhou Beichen felt a little uncomfortable.
Return your little tutor to me. He is not your little tutor.
He looked at Deshun and said slowly.
"Tell me, should I kill the top scholar? The princess pulled his hand, but he didn't kneel down to avoid her. Instead, he followed behind her obediently. He even dared to let Nuannuan pull him in front of me. I think he is courting death."
Deshun shrank his neck and bent his body until he turned himself into a quail before he dared to speak.
"Your Majesty, this number one scholar is a rare talent. He might be useful in the future. If you kill him, where will you find such a talent in the future? Moreover, if you train him from a young age, he might become your confidant."
Zhou Beichen thought about it and agreed. However, when he saw Deshun hunched over, there was some dissatisfaction in his tone.
Said coldly.
"Deshun, you have been by my side for more than ten years. I am not a tyrant. You should answer me next time. There is no need to make yourself so wronged."
Deshun was startled and knelt down immediately.
"I dare not."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
He shook his head and decisively gave up the idea of speaking. Forget it, if he wants to kneel, then let him kneel.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Oh, right, go find a few smart eunuchs and go to the Shangshufang to keep an eye on Master Jiang and the princess."
Deshun: “…Yes.”
He was already sweating profusely. After hearing the order, he got up, backed out and ran away.
I always feel that the emperor is too worried. The princess is just a little old, and so is Master Jiang. How could the two of them do this and that so quickly? Also, do you think the princess is you? You are such a playboy.
On the way to the palace, Nuannuan was holding Jiang Yanfeng's hand, and they always attracted attention along the way. However, Nuannuan acted as if she didn't see anything, and happily held someone's hand and walked towards the Shangshufang.
It was Jiang Yanfeng, who used to only study by himself and never had any playmates. Now someone so familiar came and he was being watched by so many people. The most important thing was that he was sure that the emperor particularly loved this little princess. He was a little overwhelmed all of a sudden. For some reason, even though Nuannuan was fine, he was sweating profusely.
"Princess, you hold me too tightly. I'm a little tired and a little breathless."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
Coming back to his senses from the excitement, the little round ball looked at his sweaty forehead, puzzled, and reached out to touch it.
