"Wow, there's another one."
Zhou Zhaonuan immediately jumped up, hugged Zhou Zeyun and kissed her.
"Is this a birthday present from brother to Nuannuan? Brother is so kind. Nuannuan also wants to prepare a birthday present for him."
Zhou Zeyun felt a little disappointed.
"Nuannuan, this is my study partner. Empress Xian's nephew Xiaoba asked me to give it to you."
As he spoke, Zhou Zeyun helplessly took out a silver lock that looked much smaller than the gold lock, placed the thing against his chest, and spoke with a hint of sadness.
"This was given to me by the nephew of the virtuous lady. They say that a gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is more valuable than the sentiment behind it. Now, I solemnly accept this token of affection."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
She shook the gold locket in her hand. Yes, it was very heavy. However, when she looked at her brother's sad face, a twisted expression appeared on her little face. Finally, she reluctantly put the gold locket in her brother's arms and took the silver locket in her own arms.
"Don't be sad, brother. Nuannuan only has one gold lock. This one is for you, and the silver lock is for you."
Zhou Zeyun's eyes suddenly lit up.
He hugged Zhou Zhaonuan tightly, "That's great, thank you, sister."
Wear the gold lock around your neck.
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
Looking at her brother who immediately became full of energy, the corners of her mouth twitched. Why did she feel that her brother was trying to take advantage of her?
Xian Fei smiled awkwardly on the side, rubbed her forehead with her hand, and looked at Shen Nian’an again, her expression not looking very good.
"Hanhan, come to the virtuous queen quickly. The virtuous queen has prepared a silver locket for you out of great affection."
Zhou Zeyun: "...Thank you...Thank you, Your Majesty."
It’s over, he said, his feeling just now was real, it turned out that everyone seemed to be on his sister’s side.
Finally, he summed up a truth: the crying child gets the candy.
The virtuous concubine was even more embarrassed because everything she wanted to say had been said by others, so she had to say it again.
"Thank you, Hanhan. After all, a gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is more valuable than a token of love. It's your fault that I didn't give you any goose feathers. Wait until next time. I will definitely give you a gift."
Looking at the virtuous concubine's flattering eyes, Zhou Zeyun always felt that she was fooling a child.
"By the way, sister."
At this time, Concubine Xian suddenly thought of something and said, "It's time to tell the emperor about that matter."
Shen Nian’an hummed, and then saw someone walking in from the door.
"My two beloved concubines, today is quite unique. It's quite pleasant to talk here."
After Zhou Beichen strode in, the two men looked at each other and half-knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor!"
Zhou Beichen smiled stiffly, watching Shen Nian’an kneel to him again, inexplicably, he was very angry.
So I didn't help anyone.
"Get up, this is not outside. From now on, in private, the two beloved concubines don't need to be polite."
The virtuous concubine agreed with him, but in her heart she just ignored his words.
The emperor's words were lies, she didn't want to believe them.
Shen Nian'an's eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at Zhou Beichen, full of emotion.
"I thank Your Majesty for your concern, but I cannot go against ancestral rules. I still have to pay my respects."
Zhou Beichen's expression changed, and he was about to start a long speech when Shen Nian'an and Concubine Xian looked at each other and both of them knelt on the ground.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
"What's up?"
His tone was a little colder than before, and as soon as he saw the serious faces of Shen Nian'an and Concubine Xian, Zhou Beichen knew what the two were going to say.
He looked at his daughter and son and waved.
"You two, come here."
The two little guys looked at each other and saw the serious expressions of the few people. They immediately knew that what they were going to say was not a trivial matter, so they walked up to Zhou Beichen obediently.
"Daddy, what's wrong?"
"Father..."
Zhou Beichen touched the two children's heads and smiled gently.
"You two must be hungry, go have your meal. And Nuannuan wants to learn martial arts. When I have time the day after tomorrow, I will personally take you to choose a master."
Zhou Zhaonuan almost jumped for joy, while Zhou Zeyun took his sister away.
To be honest, sometimes he was a little jealous of his father's different treatment of him and his sister. However, his sister was not only his biological sister, but also thought of him first when something happened. This made him feel that no matter what happened, he should not be jealous of his sister.
As soon as the two children left, Shen Nian'an stood up with the support of Zhou Beichen.
"My beloved concubine, please get up quickly. You are so well-behaved in front of me. I feel really uncomfortable. I miss the days when I just brought you out of the cold palace."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
In the end, she decided that Zhou Beichen was a person who must not be treated well. Once treated well, his tyrannical nature would come out.
"Then I will try to be the concubine I was before."
Zhou Beichen nodded, but then felt that what he said was inappropriate, so he put on a stern face and said to Concubine Xian.
"Please get up, Concubine Xian."
Concubine Xian: “…”
Why did she feel that the emperor deserved to be scolded? If one day she called him a tyrant like her sister, would he take her to heart?
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The virtuous concubine bowed dignifiedly and stood aside, looking at Zhou Beichen with love. Similarly, Shen Nian'an looked at Zhou Beichen with timid and pitiful eyes.
Zhou Beichen was getting a little impatient and kept tapping his fingers on the table.
"Come on, you two, what's going on?"
Shen Nian'an glanced outside and shouted.
"Madam Xu, bring the things over here."
Zhou Beichen was surprised when he saw several mice.
"What's this?"
After exchanging a glance with Concubine Xian, Shen Nian'an told Zhou Beichen what had happened. She originally thought that he would hesitate, but Zhou Beichen suddenly stood up.
"Come here, call the imperial physician, and then go to Fengyi Palace and bring the queen to me. I want to see what else the queen can say this time."
Shen Nian'an still stood by with no emotion. Concubine Xian felt a little uncomfortable. After all, when she thought that the reason why she couldn't get pregnant for so many years was actually the Queen, she wanted to kill the Queen.
Zhou Beichen felt even more uncomfortable. He really didn't expect that it was already abominable enough that he had killed a woman, but this queen was so bad that she turned his entire harem upside down.
After the imperial physician arrived and looked at the medicine residue, he immediately determined that the inconspicuous medicinal ingredient in the medicine did have the effect of making people infertile for life.
Zhou Beichen was extremely angry and knocked over all the medicine residue. His face turned ashen.
Just at this moment, Deshun spoke in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."
Zhou Beichen lowered his eyes and said, "Bring him in."
Today, he wanted to ask his good queen why she had not allowed him to have a child for so many years and even sent a fake daughter into the palace for him.
