"Your Majesty, I think Nuannuan is still young. In her young heart, although she didn't know what a father was before, since she had a father, seeing how good he was to her and how protective he was of her, she has come to regard him as the most important person in her life. However, this time, Your Majesty not only did not believe Nuannuan, but instead came to accuse her. I have to say that you have truly hurt Nuannuan's heart this time."
"Your Majesty, please forgive Nuannuan's uncontrollable rudeness just now, considering that she is still a child and ignorant."
There was a choking sound in Shen Nian'an's voice.
"After all, children are the most innocent. The resistance and rudeness that Nuannuan just unintentionally revealed was her most genuine and painful reaction to her biological father."
Shen Nian'an knelt down as he spoke, Nuannuan poked out a little head, thought about it, and also got down from Shen Nian'an's arms and knelt down.
"Father, it's my fault. I just couldn't help myself and was rude again. Please punish me. I accept the punishment if you want to hit me or scold me."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
His mind went blank and he stood there in a daze, opening his mouth but saying nothing.
Zhou Beichen himself was also puzzled. He had experience in scolding ministers and reasoning with them every day, but today, he couldn't say a word.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly and reached out to help his wife and daughter up.
"Well, Nuannuan, you are Daddy's biological daughter. How could Daddy punish you? Take good care of your injuries. Daddy will come to see you tomorrow. Daddy will go back to read the memorials first. Once everything is dealt with quickly, Daddy will take you out of the palace to play tomorrow."
As he spoke, he did not forget to glare at Deshun who was watching the fun with great interest.
Deshun turned around and immediately shouted while suppressing his laughter.
"The Emperor is arriving at the Xuanzheng Palace."
Deshun followed Zhou Beichen out, thinking in his heart that his emperor was humiliated. His emperor was actually humiliated by the princess. Haha, fun, fun, really fun. After being exploited by the emperor for half his life, he could finally see the emperor being exploited.
Although, he will be in trouble soon.
No, Deshun's expression changed immediately. The emperor was humiliated in front of the princess, so wouldn't the ones who suffered be the servants like them?
Deshun had just finished thinking when he was kicked to the ground. He quickly rolled over, got up, and knelt in front of Zhou Beichen with a very upright expression.
"Slave deserves death!"
He was like a coward, admitting his mistake foolishly.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
"Go outside the palace and buy me toys that a child of the princess's age would like to play with."
Deshun ran away, crawling and tumbling.
When I returned to Xuan Zheng Hall, it was already late. After looking at the memorials that had just been delivered for a while, it was time to turn over the cards.
Zhou Beichen glanced at it indifferently, raised his hand and turned over Concubine Li's nameplate.
Li'an Palace.
When Concubine Li heard the news, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Your Majesty, I've been telling you, Your Majesty is blessed. And the Second Princess, with Your Majesty's encouragement, is becoming more and more favored. Look, everything is developing in a good direction."
Suoxin picked a grape and put it into Concubine Li's mouth.
Concubine Li showed a smug smile, "Of course, after all, the emperor believed what He'er said. That little girl is really my lucky star. I have to thank the Queen's corpse very much."
Concubine Li stood up and said to Suoxin, "By the way, He'er is about to finish school. Come on, follow me to the Shangshufang to pick her up."
Just as she reached the door, she saw a figure from a distance, "It's Eunuch Deshun, Madam."
Now, Concubine Li was even happier.
As the figure approached, Concubine Li's smile became more and more brilliant and moving. "Your servant greets Her Majesty Concubine Li."
"Well, get up. Eunuch Deshun is here this time, but what does the emperor want?"
unlucky!
Deshun felt extremely uncomfortable, but he still had a harmless expression on his face and bent down.
"The Emperor has turned over the card of Concubine Li tonight, so please prepare early."
"But is it true?"
Concubine Li happily covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and her little daughter's shy posture made Ye Ye shine.
"Then I have to make good preparations. Suoxin, send someone to pick up the Second Princess. The Emperor will be here soon, so we can have a meal together."
Deshun looked at Li Feile's grinning face, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Then I will take my leave."
......
The sky was hazy with mist and rain, and night was approaching. Zhou Beichen had not arrived yet. Concubine Li adjusted her light pink clothes impatiently, with unhappiness written all over her face.
"It's already this late, why hasn't the emperor come yet? Damn it, it's raining for no reason."
Concubine Li was cursing when a shrill voice came from outside the door, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Concubine Li smiled and hurried forward to greet him. When she reached the door, she ran into Zhou Beichen who walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor!"
Ye Bihe poked her head out from behind Concubine Li and said, "Your son pays his respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
Concubine Li raised her hand and held it out to Zhou Beichen. The man just glanced at it indifferently and strode inside.
"Concubine Li and He'er, please get up."
Concubine Li withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly, pulled up Zhou Bihe who was kneeling on the ground, and walked inside.
How could the emperor not help her? In the past, the emperor would always help her up kindly.
Concubine Li brought out the finest Biluochun tea, "Your Majesty, I remember this tea was your favorite. I heard you were coming today, so I brewed some specially. Your Majesty, please try it."
Looking up and glancing at her, Zhou Beichen took the cup and took a sip.
"My beloved, are you wearing something very...elegant today?"
A hint of shyness appeared on Concubine Li's face. She touched her face with her hand and spoke as if she was embarrassed.
"I know Your Majesty wants to do that, but the child is here. Your Majesty, how about letting He'er go play somewhere else? I'll help you change your clothes. I've changed the pattern on the inside of my clothes. Today, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
This woman must have thought that he only liked to do that kind of thing every day. Today, he specially asked the head of the Imperial Hospital to come to the palace to discuss the way to longevity. The first thing is to do less of that kind of thing. At his age, if he did it every day, he would die soon.
He tapped his fingers on the table, looked at Concubine Li's hair full of pearls and jade, then thought of Shen Nian'an's elegant decorations, and curled his lips in disdain.
"My beloved, I find you becoming more and more vulgar. Your hair is covered in pearls and emeralds, and you're wearing a blue dress with red shoes. It's so vulgar, so vulgar. And your face, how much rouge and powder have you put on?"
Zhou Beichen reached out and rubbed Li Fei's face, and sure enough, there was a faint layer of white on his hand.
"It's fine during the day, but if you go out in the middle of the night, I'm really afraid you'll scare people to death."
