The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

"Your Majesty is here just now. I really can't make up my mind about this matter, and I don't dare to hide it from you. Why don't we talk about it together."

Concubine Shu looked calm, but what she said was quite shocking. Xia Yechen was a little uneasy. After all, the two of them had not reached an agreement just now. If Concubine Shu insisted on her opinion...

As if she had guessed what Xia Yechen was thinking, Concubine Shu glanced over at him, with a look of helplessness on her face, but she did not argue.

He just informed the emperor of the existence of Zhou Xiaoyuan and Nini tactfully.

She said it simply, and she also downplayed Zhou Xiaoyuan's background. She didn't seem to care. After speaking, she smiled at the somewhat shocked emperor and added: "Although she is a girl, she is also your majesty's rare granddaughter. , I think your Majesty will like it, right?"

When Concubine Shu said this, the emperor seemed to have recovered. He nodded, thoughtfully, and said in response to Concubine Shu, "I don't have many children, so it would be nice to have a granddaughter."

Hearing this, Xia Yechen breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and was about to go over and chime in with a few words, hoping to use this to get Zhou Xiaoyuan and his daughter to take over.

But I didn't expect that the emperor was not that easy to fool.

He quickly noticed Concubine Shu's evasiveness, glanced meaningfully at Xia Yechen who was about to speak, and then turned back to ask Concubine Shu again: "But you said, that was Yechen's first wife before she recognized her? "

The emperor did not speak louder when he said this, but his natural majesty made Concubine Shu and Xia Yechen unconsciously startled.

Both of them knew that this matter could not be kept secret, and Concubine Shu and Master Su were not the only ones who cared about Zhou Xiaoyuan's background.

Thinking like this, Xia Yechen couldn't help but look a little lonely.

Concubine Shu, look

Feeling a little distressed, but unable to do anything, she shook her head and told Zhou Xiaoyuan's background apologetically.

When he heard that Zhou Xiaoyuan was just a commoner orphan, the emperor's expression changed. Even though he had expected this result, after taking a look at Xia Yechen, he roughly guessed something.

It seems that because Xia Yechen got lost when he was young, the emperor and Concubine Shu felt a little guilty for him.

But the problem goes far beyond just feeling guilty and being able to agree.

Family status is as important as heaven. In the eyes of the emperor and Concubine Shu, if they really agreed to Xia Yechen's request and made Zhou Xiaoyuan the principal concubine, it would be a harm to him.

Therefore, the emperor barely hesitated and made the final decision, "I agree with Concubine Shu. She cannot become a concubine with such a background. Ye Chen should think about it again."

Although he asked Xia Yechen to think about it again, the emperor looked unmoved and it was obvious that this was just a polite notice.

Xia Yechen's expression changed slightly, and he still wanted to keep fighting.

The emperor also guessed what he wanted to do, so he shook his head and continued: "However, people have to be recognized after all. How can the royal blood be left outside? Go and bring the mother and daughter into the palace."

It sounded like there was still room for change, but Xia Yechen was still worried. He opened his mouth and said helplessly:

"Father, she is the mother of my eldest daughter. If she is demoted to a concubine, how should I explain to Nini when she grows up?"

This is a good saying. Mother has always been valued by her son, but the emperor's grandchildren are rare. It is indeed a bit chilling to become a concubine, but Zhou Xiaoyuan's background is really a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

The emperor couldn't help but look at Concubine Shu.

Having been together for decades, they naturally have a tacit understanding of each other.

With just one glance, the emperor looked away and relaxed at the same time.

"Bring the person into the palace first, let us take a look before talking. After all, you are the official concubine, so you should be more cautious."

Even though he didn't fully agree with Xia Yechen's proposal, it looked like the emperor and Concubine Shu were willing to consider it. Xia Yechen unconsciously relaxed, nodded and bowed before leaving.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, the emperor whispered a few words to the servant next to him, and then stopped him directly.

"Let Xiao Lizi go with you. This will save you the trouble of reporting back and forth."

Xia Yechen has the title of prince and has always been able to enter and leave the palace freely. Now the emperor has to send a palace servant to follow him, probably not just to communicate troublesome matters.

Xia Yechen knew what was going on, but he just agreed. He knew in his heart that there was nothing to say about this kind of thing.

Even though it was for a test, Xia Yechen believed in Zhou Xiaoyuan.

Thinking of this name, a smile appeared on Xia Yechen's lips unconsciously. He later thought that he had not seen her for several days and wondered how she was doing in Su Mansion.

Thinking of this, the distance that was not too far at first became extremely long at this moment, which made Xia Yechen feel a little anxious.

Although he was still sitting in the carriage, his heart had already flown to Su Mansion.

Naturally, Xiao Lizi saw this scene clearly. The little eunuch couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue, thinking that he had always heard his majesty praise King Rong, saying that although he came from the common people, he had extraordinary bearing and could not express his emotions or anger. Then there is a person with the appearance of a dragon.

But such a good demeanor can become so unstable when it touches the one you love.

Come on, it seems that His Highness Prince Rong is really in trouble this time.

Xiao Lizi was thinking this, but he didn't show it on his face or rush him. He just waited patiently for the carriage to arrive at the Su Mansion, and followed Prince Rong step by step.

He looks like an ordinary bodyguard behind him.

At the same time, Grand Scholar Su had also received the oral instructions from the palace. His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly sent someone to call Mrs. Su and asked her to bring Zhou Xiaoyuan over to receive the imperial edict.

Mrs. Su felt a little uneasy when she thought about the previous conflicts between the two, worrying that Zhou Xiaoyuan had learned nothing.

It would be even more troublesome for Concubine Shu to come and question her.

But think about it carefully, after all, it was Zhou Xiaoyuan who took the initiative to say that she didn’t need her mother’s teaching, and she refused, so what could she do?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Su's expression became calm, but she still gave her face and went to the place where Zhou Xiaoyuan was resting in person and told her: "Your Majesty wants to see you. Prince Rong who came to pick you up is probably already on the carriage. You You have to come over and greet the guests with me."

When Mrs. Su came, Mrs. Zhao Wu was also there. When they heard this, they were both surprised and a little uneasy in their hearts.

Zhao Wu unconsciously showed a worried look. She knew very well that Zhou Xiaoyuan had not learned any rules yet. If she accidentally offended Long Yan, she would be in big trouble.

Seeing their hesitation, Mrs. Su sneered inwardly, thinking that it was too late to worry about this now.

But in the end there was nothing she could do. After thinking for a while, she fiddled with Zhou Xiaoyuan and taught her a few basic rules that were easy to understand.

But the most important point is, “It’s not that important whether the rules are standard or not, but the manner must be correct, and don’t

Even if you cry and laugh in front of the Holy Father, you are not allowed to interrupt at will - have you remembered what I said? "
