"Daddy, hurry up and help Nuannuan get the tomatoes upstairs. It's dark and cold in the cellar, and Nuannuan must be scared to death."
Before the tyrant could react, he saw a pair of chubby little hands reaching out from the cellar door, holding two big tomatoes in front of him.
Seeing that he was standing with his hands behind his back without moving, Nuannuan pouted and urged him.
"Daddy, why are you still dawdling? Hurry up and take it. If Nuannuan can't hold it anymore, she'll drop it. What if she hits Mom and my brother?"
Zhou Beichen: “…”
"Stupid girl, how dare you threaten and order your father."
His face darkened and he showed an unpleasant smile. The next second, he stretched out his arms with a righteous expression and lifted Nuannuan up.
"Look, isn't this good?"
"Wow, Daddy, you are so awesome. Nuannuan gives you a big hug. Daddy is the best daddy in the world."
Zhou Zhaonuan really gave Zhou Beichen a big hug. The little guy snuggled in his arms with a sly smile in his eyes.
"Nuannuan loves Daddy the most. By the way, Daddy, are you here to dine with us? I forgot to tell you that the food Mommy cooks is delicious. The maids and eunuchs in the cold palace used to love it so much that they often exchanged it with us."
Zhou Beichen was confused by all the flattery, and the daddy filter instantly filled the entire sky.
"Nuannuan is indeed my daughter. I love her."
He glanced at the cellar and said indifferently.
"Since Nuannuan said so, then, Shen Nian'an, I will have my meal in the cold palace today, but you must remember that after I finish my meal, you must return to the Pepper Palace and do not make me angry again, otherwise, it will be bad for you."
Shen Nian'an sighed from the bottom of his heart, as expected, the stupid guy fell into the trap.
She quickly pushed her son up and climbed up herself.
When they saw Zhou Beichen, their eyes met for a moment, and they both turned their heads away at the same time.
Zhou Beichen didn't say anything, with a cold look on his face.
Shen Nian calmed down for a moment, with a look of gratitude and contradiction on his face, and that look of disbelief made it believable.
"Yes, is that so, Your Majesty? Can I really go back to the Pepper Palace? Since I invited myself to the Cold Palace, to be honest, I have been very regretful. After all, it was I who deceived Your Majesty first. According to the law, I deserve to die, but Your Majesty pardoned me. I still got angry with you. It was really wrong of me."
The sharp eyes like an eagle glanced at Shen Nian'an's face, and after staring at him for a while, Zhou Beichen was relieved a little and spoke in a light tone.
"Since you know you're wrong, why don't you come over and cook for me? Every day, I'm tired enough dealing with family and country affairs, and now, I have to worry about the three of you every day. None of you are worry-free."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Shen Nian'an obeyed and left without even giving him a glance. Zhou Beichen stood there until the woman walked to the end and disappeared from his sight. Only then did Zhou Beichen shake his head.
It's really strange. He obviously has countless concubines, but why can't he punish this one, nor let her go?
"Come on, my two little bastards, accompany me to see the cold palace where you used to live."
When this was mentioned, Zhou Zhaonuan immediately became excited.
"Daddy, you want to see the cold palace, then you are right, Nuannuan is very familiar with the cold palace."
Zhou Zeyun stepped forward at the right moment and said, "Son, I am the same."
His daughter's soft little hand pulled him up, and Zhou Beichen subconsciously walked forward. Although the cold palace was a cold palace, the cold palace where Shen Nian lived was different after all.
The cold palace was not big, with about ten rooms inside, built with stones.
Due to long-term disrepair, there are many open areas on the roof that have been filled with stones.
Zhou Beichen looked down, confused, but then he heard Nuannuan say.
"Dad, that was when it was raining heavily before. Because it was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside, Mom went up to fix the roof herself."
"Your mother repaired it. Would your mother go up to the house to repair the roof?"
Zhou Beichen was a little surprised, he couldn't believe it, but unexpectedly, Zhou Zeyun frowned and said seriously.
"Mom is amazing! She can do everything. If she hadn't been so good at cooking and growing vegetables, I guess Mom, me, and my sister would have starved to death or frozen to death in the cold palace these past few years."
With a dark and unclear look in his eyes, Zhou Beichen looked at his chubby pair of children in front of him, feeling an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
At the beginning, he threw Shen Nian'an into the cold palace with the intention of killing her and letting her fend for herself, but he never expected that this woman would not only survive, but also give birth to two children for him.
All in all, this woman is different from his concubines.
No one noticed the regret and apology that flashed across Zhou Beichen's eyes. He calmed himself down and continued walking forward. Seeing a large vegetable field in front of him with vegetable leaves, roots, and stems scattered all over the ground, Zhou Beichen suddenly felt... a little regretful.
Nuannuan put her hands on her hips, very angry.
"Dad, you don't know."
"Don't know what?"
Zhou Beichen squatted down and pinched her chubby little face.
Glancing at him, the little girl grew even angrier. "I don't know who came in and trampled all the vegetables that Mom worked so hard to grow. When we got here, it was too late to save them. Nuannuan and my brother even came with Mom to weed, but now, all our efforts are in vain."
Nuannuan went from being dejected to being extremely angry.
"If Nuannuan knew who did this, she would definitely beat the crap out of him."
Zhou Beichen: “…”
He touched his nose awkwardly, and suddenly...he felt a little guilty.
"No, Nuannuan, didn't I tell you that you are not only a girl, but also a princess of a country. You can't be like this and say such vulgar things. You don't act like a girl at all."
He put on a stern face and looked like he was giving someone a lecture, which just relieved his embarrassment.
"But, Daddy, can't your daughter speak like this? If I have to endure the injustice, won't you be ashamed?"
Zhou Beichen: “???”
This girl, what kind of logic is this?
"Besides, Daddy, you said that Nuannuan is a precious princess, your daughter. If she is wronged, she should not endure it immediately. If someone bullies me, I will fight him if he is wrong. If I can't beat him, I will reason with him. Now, who is it that destroyed the vegetable garden? Under the premise that Nuannuan can't find anyone, Nuannuan can only scold him to vent her anger."
