"I've read in books that immortal couples are the most appealing to mortal hearts. I've also wanted to live that kind of life, and after much thought, you're the most suitable."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
Her eyes moved, and just as she was about to say something polite to him, a big forehead bulged next to her eyes. Zhou Beichen looked directly at her with a pair of shrewd eyes, and domineeringly spit back all the polite words that Shen Nian'an wanted to say.
"Okay, Shen Nian'an, don't think of any way to make me feel strange about you. I have no children in my life. The first prince and princess were given to me by you. Under such circumstances, I naturally have to be nice to you. After all, I still have some conscience."
Deshun followed behind, muttering softly.
You have some conscience, but not much.
Shen Nian'an was slightly moved. She thought for a moment and then said, "But, Your Majesty..."
Zhou Beichen interrupted her impatiently, "Alright, Shen Nian'an, please stop saying buts. I don't want to be angry with you, nor do I want to argue with you about anything. To be honest, if I really argue with you about some things, even if you have twenty heads, they won't be enough."
There was a slight pain in her neck, and Shen Nian'an's expression was not very good.
Zhou Beichen pulled her forward and said, "But you are someone very important to me, the biological mother of my two children. For the sake of my children, I must tolerate you. I know and understand what you are worried about. Don't worry, I can swear to you that my love for Nuannuan and Hanhan has never been a whim. You don't have to worry that I will not protect them in the future. My children, Zhou Beichen, naturally deserve the best. As for you, if you are really Shen Zishan's biological daughter, I might even make you the queen in the future."
There was a shocking wave in her heart. Shen Nian'an never dared to believe that the irritable Zhou Beichen would say this to her, although she was not sure whether this man was sincere.
"I thank the emperor very much. I will work hard to be a good concubine and live a good life with the emperor."
In short, she is not sincere at the moment.
Zhou Beichen glared at her, then looked her up and down, as if he was suspicious, but he didn't point it out.
"Who knows if what you said is true? Women's hearts are as treacherous as the sea. If you women are cruel, you can be even crueler than me."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
Three big question marks flashed over his head. No matter how cruel a woman is, she can't just chop people's heads off. Sometimes she kills them all at once.
Shen Nian'an was complaining in his heart when he heard Zhou Beichen's faint voice.
"In order to stabilize the country, I only wanted to prevent the Queen from getting pregnant. However, the Queen actually prevented all the concubines in my harem from getting pregnant. Those idiots also failed to notice it after such a long time. It's amazing that you were able to spot the clues as soon as you arrived. An An, to be honest, you are quite smart."
"Otherwise, I really can't imagine how stupid my two children must be, and whether Hanhan can inherit the throne."
It felt like he hadn't spoken to anyone like this for a long time since he ascended the throne. Zhou Beichen chattered on and on to himself.
"Chen Nian'an, I'm telling you all this nonsense today just to tell you that from now on, if you have anything to say or want to do something, just tell me directly. Don't set traps for me like you did before, and then I have to work hard to get into them. It's so tiring."
What's more, I don't want face or dignity.
Shen Nian'an was almost confused by his series of actions. She couldn't believe that he said this earth-shattering thing himself. If this happened in modern times, she would have to record a voice recording for him to prevent him from refusing to pay.
So, Shen Nian'an simply looked up at him with resentment, "Originally, after being banished to the cold palace, I didn't want those two children. However, I was too young and didn't know what it felt like to be pregnant. Also, by the time I felt pregnant, the child would have already moved inside. I really couldn't bear to let go of such a vibrant little life."
"Since I gave birth to them, they are human beings with their own thoughts and opinions. They are not appendages of the emperor or me. If Nuannuan is unwilling to marry, or Hanhan is unwilling to become the future emperor, please do not force them, let alone punish them."
His eyes turned from bright to dark, and Zhou Beichen's face instantly turned gloomy, which scared Chen Nian'an.
"The words the Emperor just blurted out, could it be that... they don't count?"
After glancing at Chen Nian'an for a while, Zhou Beichen sneered, and suddenly, he pushed Chen Nian'an against the trunk of a big willow tree in Tutor Du's mansion.
"Chen Nian'an, I admit that you are very different. I also admit that if you were exactly the same as the other concubines, even if you gave birth to two children for me, I would not even look at you. However, you must not underestimate the importance I attach to these two children. Not only will their mother think about their future, but their father will also think about their future. In the future, if Hanhan is unwilling to inherit my throne, then it would not be a bad idea for me to train a ruthless empress."
Shen Nian'an's face changed from calm to shocked, to torn, and then gradually turned to peace.
Zhou Beichen's ideas are really advanced.
Indeed, the tyrant is worthy of being called a tyrant.
"What if Nuan Nuan doesn't want to in the future?"
Shen Nian'an relaxed for a moment and pushed him. Zhou Beichen frowned and pinched Shen Nian'an's wrist with his big hand.
He looked at her with a sinister gaze, which made the surrounding environment seem chilly and seemed to freeze people to death.
"If Nuannuan is unwilling, then I can only place my hope on you."
"On my concubine's body?"
Shen Nian’an didn’t understand and was very confused.
Zhou Beichen smiled evilly, his eyes constantly glancing towards her belly.
"Since An An is so fertile, I have now appointed you as Consort Hui and named you An An. You must give me more children to show my grace."
Shen Nian’an: “…”
If she was not a weak and pitiful little woman, she really wanted to kick the tyrant in front of her away.
"I don't understand."
She shook her head, her brows twitching, a smile playing on her lips.
"Just you? You still don't understand. I don't believe it."
Zhou Beichen released the hand that was restraining her, pulled her up, and strode away.
Zhou Zhaonuan and Zhou Zeyun, who had just rushed to the side of the Emperor and Concubine, said: "......"
The two little guys looked at each other and pouted at the same time.
He desperately shouted, "Daddy, Mommy, wait for Nuannuan."
"Father, Mother, wait for me."
