If it really doesn't work, you can just replace him. When you become the emperor, you can show favoritism in front of him every day.
Seeing how close the father and daughter were, Zhou Zeyun turned his grief and anger into strength and ran away. He wanted to find his mother to comfort him.
Zhou Beichen didn't know Zhou Zeyun's mental journey. He had no idea that his son had run away, and he was just asking Zhou Zhaonuan about her well-being.
"What's wrong, little girl?"
Nuan Nuan was still unhappy, "I want to sleep with my mother for one night."
Hearing this for the first time, Zhou Beichen was not particularly angry. He relaxed his mood and raised the corner of his mouth, "Alright, I miss Concubine Hui too. Let's go to the Pepper Room to have dinner now. It's just right that I can sleep with your mother tonight."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
She looked at Zhou Beichen for a moment, then tears welled up in her eyes.
"Daddy, why don't you just prevent Nuannuan from seeing Mommy? Or you're trying to steal Mommy from her. If you miss Mommy, can't you go find the Queen Mother and let her hold you in her arms as you sleep?"
Zhou Beichen: “…”
He was overwhelmed. "That's so rude. Isn't it better to have me accompany you?"
Nuan Nuan shook her head, "No, no, Nuan Nuan has a lot of secrets to tell mother."
Zhou Beichen frowned. He had a secret that he only told his mother but not his father. Why? Even if he was not allowed to, he would go.
So, he frowned and spoke in a stern manner.
"Zhou Zhaonuan, I have listened to your whisper. Today, I have to go to Jiaofang Palace. Also, I like to beat disobedient children the most."
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
Zhou Zhaonuan's delicate brows were tightly furrowed together, and she pouted her lips, looking unwilling.
"Yeah, Daddy, listen. From now on, all of Nuan Nuan's whispers will be told to Daddy. It will annoy you to death."
The little guy hit his head lightly while speaking, "Yes, when it's midnight, Nuannuan will talk a lot and annoy Daddy to death."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
Forget it, he stopped talking. It wouldn’t be worth it if he got angry to death again.
Zhou Zeyun had left in advance, and Zhou Beichen walked behind with Zhou Zhaonuan in his arms. After a while, he caught up with Zhou Zeyun, who was walking in front of him and moving very fast with her short legs.
That little figure seems a little lonely.
Perhaps it was a father's conscience that awakened him, Zhou Beichen blinked his eyes, walked quickly forward, and picked up his son.
Holding one in each hand, Zhou Zeyun had some surprises on her body. She looked at Zhou Beichen, smelled the faint scent of ambergris on him, pursed her lips, and secretly leaned towards him. Seeing that Zhou Beichen had no strange expression, she did this several times. After confirming again and again that Zhou Beichen let him lean on her, Zhou Zeyun nestled in contentedly.
......
Ye Bihe was still hugging Shen Nian'an and crying, "Empress Hui, even if He'er begs you, please talk to the emperor and ask him to let me go back to the general's mansion. I'm scared of this place. I miss my mother and my father..."
Facing Ye Bihe's crying, Shen Nian'an smiled bitterly.
Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. It's not a place where you can just come in and go out casually.
Xian Fei pulled Shen Nian’an’s hand and whispered.
"Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you can tell a child's future by looking at him at the age of three and his character by looking at him at the age of seven. If the Second Princess continues to behave like this, what are you going to do? You have to find a way. If you can't make her wholeheartedly become your biological daughter, then you can only let her..."
Xianfei's eyes became fierce, and Shufei and Yingpin also echoed her. Only Ye Bihe was crying uncontrollably. Shen Nian'an understood what they meant and nodded. She decided to try again. If it still didn't work, she really didn't want to care about it anymore.
"He'er, listen to what Empress Hui said. From now on, you are my daughter. From now on, you will stay in the Pepper Palace with Empress Hui, and your royal brother and sister will play with you. Isn't that good?"
Ye Bihe's eyes suddenly widened, and she cried with snot and tears all over her face. She was so anxious that she jumped to her feet.
"No, I don't want it. I want to go home. I am not your daughter. I am my mother's daughter. They are not my sisters and brothers. My brother is at home."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
The smile was frozen on her face, and she knew that she could never coax Ye Bihe. The most important thing was that she simply would not listen to her. Or, should she give her orders coldly, like the queen? That way, wouldn't she raise an ungrateful person?
In that case, let’s find an opportunity to get rid of this little girl.
Ye Bihe cried even harder, and kept muttering about wanting to go home. However, Shen Nian'an became calmer. She sat on the couch and said leisurely.
"Madam Xu, the Second Princess hasn't eaten much all day. Bring her some snacks. If she wants to cry, let her cry as much as she wants. I don't have the power to let her leave the palace. Let her tell her father herself."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bihe pursed her lips and cried even harder.
She was afraid of the so-called father emperor and really didn't dare to go.
“Wuwuwu…”
“Wow wow wow…”
Ye Bihe cried so hard that she looked like she couldn't breathe.
Shen Nian'an, Xianfei, Shufei, Yingpin: "..."
Well, this guy is really a stubborn person. If anyone has children like this, he will probably be angry to death.
When Zhou Beichen walked to the door, he heard a howl that was getting louder and louder. He stopped and felt irritated. He hated it most when others cried in front of him.
"Why are you crying? Cry, cry, cry! If you keep crying, get out of here and don't come back until you've finished crying. If that doesn't work, someone, drag the Second Princess away and give her twenty lashes."
Zhou Beichen came in from outside and gave this order. Everyone in the hall was stunned and didn't even greet them.
Twenty strokes of the cane. Shen Nian'an and Concubine Xian thought that he wanted to beat the person to death.
Ye Bihe was so scared that her mouth opened wide and she couldn't say a word. He was not the emperor, but the living devil.
"Daddy, look at her, she's already crying like that. Why don't you just stop beating her?"
Zhou Zhaonuan's chubby face was twisted together. She pointed at the crying Ye Bihe and spoke pitifully.
"Second sister, she is indeed in a very miserable situation. Last time, she was bullied in the Shangshufang. Those companions were not afraid of her status as a princess and directly pinned her to the ground and beat her up."
"When did this happen? How come I don't know about it? Why didn't the Grand Tutor come to report it to me?"
Zhou Beichen was a little angry. Even if he disliked Ye Bihe, he had already made her a princess. Their actions were just a slap in his face.
Zhou Zeyun added at the right moment, "Last time, the Grand Tutor went to complain, but he only said that my sister beat someone up."
