On one side is the righteousness of family and country, and on the other side is the love between children. Zhou Beichen had no choice. Finally, he shook his head and said coldly.
"Let's go to Xuanzheng Hall."
Deshun's tense heart relaxed instantly. He was afraid that the emperor would be angry. If the emperor didn't say a word for a long time, then those who served him would be in trouble.
Deshun shook off his Buddhist whisk.
"Yes, the Emperor is going to the Xuanzheng Palace!"
......
When Zhou Zeyun returned to the Pepper Room, Nuannuan was still in the bedroom. The little girl had just finished learning martial arts and had experienced that incident again. Her energy was exhausted. After Zhou Beichen confined her to her room, the little girl simply went back to her little bed, covered her head and fell asleep, and closed the door tightly. She was fine, but it made Shen Nian'an, who was outside the door, very anxious.
As a modern person, Shen Nian'an has always respected the privacy of her daughter and son. No matter how anxious she was at the moment, she did not push the door in. She planned to wait.
"Mother, what's wrong? Why are you spinning around on the ground? Oh, I heard that my father brought Concubine Li, no, Concubine Li, to the Pepper Palace today, and my sister was even grounded. How is my sister now?"
Shen Nian'an helplessly spread his hands, "Your sister is probably mad at your father. Look, your father not only scolded her today, but also confined her to her room. The little girl must be really sad. Until now, she hasn't even come out for dinner."
Shen Nian'an said as he gestured towards the closed door.
Zhou Zeyun gave Shen Nian’an a reassuring look, “Don’t worry, mother, just look at me.”
After saying that, he reached out and knocked gently on the door.
"Nuannuan, open the door. It's my brother. He's back. Can you let him in? Can we talk?"
After waiting for a while, there was no sound from the door. Zhou Zeyun frowned tightly and looked at Shen Nian'an. The worry in their eyes collided.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
"Sister, please open the door. If you have something unhappy and don't want to talk to mother, talk to your brother, okay?"
Zhou Zeyun put his ear to the door and listened, but there was still no sound. He looked at Shen Nian'an and started knocking again with an uneasy mood.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The sound went straight into the ears of Zhou Zhaonuan who was sleeping soundly. The little guy was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up. After stretching, he heard a knock on the door and the concerned voices of Zhou Zeyun and Shen Nian'an.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Don't be sad. Father might have some unspeakable secrets. Come out quickly and let your brother see you. Don't be sad, okay?"
"Nuannuan, the emperor just winked at mother. He's not really angry with us Nuannuan. The confinement is just a temporary measure. Nuannuan, don't take it seriously, and don't cry silently. It's not good."
Nuannuan listened to the caring voices and was stunned for a while before she realized that her mother and brother thought she was heartbroken and kept crying.
But she was just too sleepy and tired and just wanted to sleep.
The little guy jumped out of bed, put on his shoes, and ran to the door.
Shen Nian'an and Zhou Zeyun were almost banging the door in anxiety. When she first saw her sleepy daughter, Shen Nian'an was a little confused. She walked forward, picked up her daughter, looked left and right, and finally, after confirming that her daughter was not sad at all, her hanging heart finally relaxed.
Zhou Zeyun held his forehead and said sarcastically, "We all thought something had happened to my sister, but I didn't expect that not only was she fine, she was actually sleeping soundly in there."
Zhou Zhaonuan patted Shen Nian'an's shoulder, and the little guy stuck to her face and said with a smile.
"Mother, Nuannuan wants to go down."
Nuan Nuan jumped down and threw herself directly onto Zhou Zeyun. "Ha, brother cares about me, brother cares about me, it's great to have a brother!"
Zhou Zeyun: “…”
A frown flashed across his face. He rolled his eyes and tapped Nuannuan's forehead.
"You talk as if I've never cared about you before, silly sister."
"Humph! You're the fool!"
Nuannuan immediately refused, muttering a little sin, and pushed Zhou Zeyun far away. Looking at the two children pushing each other, Shen Nian'an shook her head helplessly behind them.
Indeed, having children is a blessing, otherwise, she really doesn't know whether she can stay in the harem.
After all, that damn emperor was clearly caring about her a few months ago, but in just a short time, he made Concubine Li pregnant. The two of them are still so affectionate and so overly affectionate that it makes people sick to watch.
"I'm not stupid."
Hearing his son's serious rebuttal, Shen Nian'an couldn't help but laughed out loud.
"Alright, little ones, stop teasing each other. It's so late, and Nuannuan hasn't eaten yet. I haven't eaten either because I'm waiting for you. I guess your brother hasn't eaten either. Madam Xu, please send someone to serve the meal."
Nanny Xu replied yes, and after she hurried away, Shen Nian'an picked up the two little people and walked towards the main hall with one arm and one arm.
When Zhou Beichen walked in with his hands behind his back, he saw this scene and was... dumbfounded.
After being dumbfounded, his eagle-like wise eyes narrowed slightly. This woman was so strong that she could pick up a child with one hand. Could she have practiced some martial arts? No, he had to test this damn woman someday. He favored others so much, but she never showed her temper.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor."
Shen Nian'an squatted down to greet him. The two little guys looked at each other, then jumped off Shen Nian'an and greeted him politely.
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor!"
Zhou Beichen:?
When he said this, it was the first time that his two children had ridiculed him so seriously, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.
He paused, his expression looking uglier than before.
"Everyone, get up."
Looking at his daughter who looked unhappy and lifeless, Zhou Beichen was filled with guilt. He took a few steps forward, squatted down with a fatherly smile, and spoke in a very kind manner.
"Nuannuan, come here, let daddy hug you! Listen to what daddy said, what daddy just did..."
Without saying a word, Zhou Beichen felt a soft, warm and sticky meat ball crawling into his arms. Then, the meat ball hugged his neck, raised its head and looked at him innocently, and a childish voice came out.
"Daddy, how was it? Did Nuannuan act like it just now? Is there any reward?"
Zhou Beichen: “…”
A thousand shocks flashed through his mind, and his face gradually changed from calm to torn. He was extremely happy, and picked up his daughter, hugged her along the beam, shook her upwards, and then caught her.
