As soon as he finished speaking, a boy in a blue shirt with his hair standing up high walked past Li Liluo who was crying and walked towards Zhou Zhaonuan. He spoke with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, you were too reckless today. If I'm not here, you'll probably be scolded again when you return to the palace."
Jiang Yanfeng in front of him smiled brightly, and Nuannuan grinned, "Thank you, little Jiangzi. If it weren't for you today, I would probably be scolded by my father again when I return to the palace."
While saying thank you, Nuannuan was furious. She raised her foot and stepped hard on Jiang Yanfeng's torn shoes.
“Ah~”
The latter's face was distorted with pain. If there weren't so many people around, he would probably have hugged his feet and jumped for a while.
"Princess, what are you doing? I was just helping you. It's fine if you're not grateful. I accept calling me Xiao Jiangzi, but how can you repay kindness with hatred?"
Nuan Nuan glared at him. "Thank you for today. However, even though you're our Taifu, you're still so young. Why do you have to act so profound every day? I think you're asking for trouble."
Jiang Yanfeng: “…”
Tsk tsk tsk, what a rude and overbearing little princess.
Looking at the two groups of people quarreling, Nuan Nuan rolled her eyes helplessly and rudely pulled up Jiang Yanfeng's hand.
"Such a big thing happened today. I think you should stay here and come back to the palace with me to explain to the emperor. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll really get beaten again."
There was a hint of unnaturalness and a little bit of resistance on his face.
"Princess...Princess, please do not look at me or touch me. Please let go of my hand."
It was the first time that a girl held his hand, and Jiang Yanfeng stuttered, his cheeks turning slightly red.
Nuannuan glanced at him and pulled tighter.
"What do you mean by 'don't look at what's indecent' and 'don't pull what's indecent'? Look at yourself. Your teeth haven't even grown in yet. Why do you care about these things?"
Nuannuan used all her strength to pull Jiang Yanfeng to the ground.
"Go!"
Jiang Yanfeng: “…”
He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and muttered softly, "Could it be that this girl really takes after her father? She's so domineering even when she's clearly not being reasonable."
Zhou Zhao's warm childish voice was heard again, "Since I stepped on your shoes and broke them, then this princess is generous and will naturally buy you a new pair before returning to the palace."
Looking down at his shoes, Jiang Yanfeng felt a little embarrassed.
His family was poor, and his father had suffered a lot over the years in order to take the imperial examination.
Jiang Yanfeng swore that when he got his salary, he would buy eight or ten pairs of shoes to satisfy his cravings.
Nuannuan had just taken a few steps when she felt someone pulling her clothes. She turned around, her eyes widening as she saw Li Liluo with a pig-like face crawling in front of her, one hand tightly grasping the corner of her clothes.
"Princess... Princess, even though you've told others this, your evil nature won't disappear. Princess, you can't burn your bridges after crossing them."
Impatience flashed in Zhou Zhaonuan's eyes as she glanced at him, "You're simply stubborn and unyielding."
"Yuqin, kick him away and let's go."
"yes."
Then there was a deafening "Ah..." and everyone saw that Li Liluo was kicked far away and fell against the wall with blood spitting out of his mouth.
The crowd fell silent again.
Zhou Zhaonuan smiled generously at everyone, "If this guy dies today, then I will have rid the people of a scourge. If he doesn't die, someone will naturally kill him. Since some of you believe his words, then you might as well think about how old I am. Before I left the cold palace and became a princess, did he do anything bad?"
A word of advice woke people up from their dream, and the tone of the crowd changed again.
Zhou Zhaonuan bought shoes for Jiang Yanfeng and forced him to buy two sets of blue clothes. Then she dragged him back to the palace in a fierce manner.
Two hours later.
Xuanzheng Hall.
Because she was afraid that Zhou Beichen would implicate Jiang Yanfeng, Zhou Zhaonuan sent him back.
As soon as the little guy entered the hall, he found a serious atmosphere of anger. Zhou Beichen had a stern face, and Li Liluo was kneeling and crying below. There was also Prime Minister Li who looked very angry and wanted to kill her.
Zhou Zhaonuan fluttered his eyelids and knew that someone was coming to call for punishment.
But she is not afraid.
After calming her thoughts, Zhou Zhaonuan lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground.
"Your son pays homage to the emperor, long live your father!"
Zhou Beichen was not very happy when he heard this at first, but he was angry that his daughter was meddling in other people's affairs and almost got herself involved.
However, Jiang Yanfeng is a brave and resourceful boy, and his girl is not bad either.
Seeing Zhou Beichen not saying anything and looking at her with a serious look, to be honest, Zhou Zhaonuan's heart felt a little cold at that moment.
But it's not the time to be angry in front of outsiders.
She kowtowed respectfully, "Father, today on the long street, I hit someone. Although I was wrong, it was Li Liluo who went too far. It was his carriage that hit the father and daughter first, but not only did he not apologize, he even turned the tables and even wanted to take the girl as a child bride. I was so angry that I had him hit."
Before Zhou Beichen could say anything or ask Zhou Zhaonuan to stand up, Prime Minister Li rolled his eyes and immediately refused to do it. He thought the people were blind and knelt down miserably.
"Your Majesty, I am an old minister who has a son. Although he was spoiled when he was young, his nature is not bad. The princess said that she saw my son bullying someone on the street and wanted to take someone as a child bride. However, in the end, my son did not take the person away, nor did he beat the old man violently. The princess saw him cursing on the street, maybe just venting his anger about the father and daughter who hit the carriage. Afterwards, she would give him money so that they can get medical treatment. Moreover, the old man has been treated now. As for taking someone as a child bride, there is no way to say anything. However, the princess beat my son, that is true. My son was beaten so hard that he vomited blood. I beg Your Majesty to give him justice."
Prime Minister Li's words were flawless. Zhou Beichen tapped his fingers on the table, stood up, and walked towards Zhou Zhaonuan with a serious face.
Finally, he stopped in front of Zhou Zhaonuan and did not move.
He lowered his eyes to look at the pitiful child kneeling on the ground. Heartache spread from the bottom of his heart and quickly spread to his internal organs. He looked horrible in the pain.
He squatted down, slowly raised his hand, and moved it towards Zhou Zhaonuan's little face.
Prime Minister Li and Li Li Luo looked at each other, both of them were ecstatic. Nuannuan immediately closed her eyes and faced it all calmly, with mixed feelings in her heart. For such a long time, she thought that her father would like her more and love her more. Yesterday, her father personally coaxed her, took her to fly a kite, and said that he believed in her. But today, she said a few words and her father came to beat her.
