Listening to what Mrs. Su said, Zhou Xiaoyuan was actually a little surprised. She never expected that this person would be willing to mention her at this time.

But if you think about it carefully, you can figure out that if it wasn't Xia Yechen behind her, Mrs. Su's attitude would be exactly the same as Su Xiahui's. In the final analysis, they are just the same person.

Thinking about it, Zhou Xiaoyuan also thanked her, calmed her expression and nodded pretending to be calm.

Mrs. Su looked at her briefly. He looked a little surprised, and then said: "You've learned well, that's it."

When she said this, Zhou Xiaoyuan secretly felt confident, and thinking about what she had seen on TV in the past, she raised her chin slightly, straightened her back, and walked out with her usual indifferent attitude.

But even so, the palace servant who accompanied Xia Yechen still looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan with critical eyes.

Obviously, her origin is probably not a secret in the palace.

It is naturally impossible to say that she doesn't mind, but if she does... Zhou Xiaoyuan lowered her eyes unconsciously and didn't even want to sigh. After all, what could she do if she minded?

Who cares what she thinks as a commoner? I'm afraid as Su Xiahui said, she thinks she has made a lot of money.

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling Zhou Xiaoyuan became.

She raised her eyes, her expression becoming much firmer. Next to her, Xia Yechen was clearly still polite to Mrs. Su, but the moment Zhou Xiaoyuan glanced over, he turned his head and met her eyes.

For a moment, both of them were stunned for a moment. Zhou Xiaoyuan's heartbeat accelerated for no reason, but her face showed no expression, she just blinked.

But on the other side, Xia Yechen seemed to know something.

He paused thoughtfully, and then said to Mrs. Su: "

The king and the princess have not seen each other for a long time. I wonder if I can borrow the space to talk here? "

Mrs. Su was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Xia Yechen thought she was in the way, so she smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Of course."

After taking two steps, she seemed to have remembered something, tilted her head and said, "But His Majesty's oral instructions are still waiting there. I hope the prince will make a quick decision and come out as soon as possible."

Xia Yechen nodded naturally and did not say anything. Several attendants nearby, including the chamberlain who had been following him since the palace, also took notice and left.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Xiaoyuan was a little surprised.

She was really thinking about how to quietly talk to Xia Yechen alone just now, but she didn't expect that Xia Yechen would take the initiative to ask to be alone.

In this case, if she said she wanted to be alone with Xia Yechen, I am afraid that Mrs. Su and the guards would not agree, but it would be different if Xia Yechen said it.

Zhou Xiaoyuan thought about it and was a little sarcastic unconsciously. After everyone left, she looked at Xia Yechen again, pursed her lips and said:

"Can I not enter the palace?"

Probably because he was a little surprised by her words, Xia Yechen didn't even react for a moment. He frowned and said, "Nini will also go to the palace with you. I will be by your side. Even if you don't learn anything, you still have me by your side." , you don’t have to worry too much.”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan paused for a moment, but insisted on speaking, "No... I mean, can I not enter the palace?"

This time Xia Yechen seemed to have really listened, but his brows were still furrowed. He looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan patiently and flatly refused, "No, you have to enter the palace with us."

Zhou Xiaoyuan opened her mouth to ask why, but Xia Yechen quickly added before she could say anything.

Road:

"You should know that if you resist the decree, you will be beheaded. I can't make a decision on this matter. Everything else can be discussed."

Xia Yechen's tone was as gentle as possible. Zhou Xiaoyuan knew this, but she still felt a little awkward. She pursed her lips and looked a little resistant.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yechen took a step forward and stretched out his hand as if to hold her shoulders. However, Zhou Xiaoyuan suddenly jumped away as if she had seen some savage beast. She only reacted after they pulled away and glanced at him hastily.

He didn't dare to look closely at Xia Yechen's expression, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I'll take Nini out. You go outside first."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaoyuan turned around and left directly.

Xia Yechen was left alone looking at his empty palms in silence. He retracted his hand, but did not go out as Zhou Xiaoyuan said. Instead, he waited in the room for Zhou Xiaoyuan to come out with Nini, and then they went out together.

The little girl obviously didn't know what was going on. She blinked and wanted to take Archie with her. Xia Yechen heard that the name was a bit strange, but didn't ask any more questions.

Zhou Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and blinked at Nini, comforted her for a while, and then stepped onto the carriage.

The interior of the carriage was luxuriously decorated, something Nini had never seen before. Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't want the guards to underestimate her, so she patted her back and said warmly: "Nini, just close your eyes and rest for a while. We'll be there soon." place."

Listening to Zhou Xiaoyuan's comfort, although Nini was a little confused, she nodded, snuggled into her mother's arms and closed her eyes.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, but Zhou Xiaoyuan could detect the looking eyes of the guards next to Xia Yechen, even though Xia Yechen had already seen it.

God warned them, but one of the guards who was dressed obviously differently did not stop.

Recalling what Mrs. Su said about His Majesty's oral instructions, Zhou Xiaoyuan guessed that it should be someone from the palace. She was thoughtful, but the next moment she directly met his eyes, her voice and expression were cold, and she just said: "Have you seen enough?"

The guard was stunned and subconsciously looked at Xia Yechen, but Xia Yechen didn't give him a good look.

He just explained to Zhou Xiaoyuan: "This is the chamberlain in the palace."

He paused and then added, "My father ordered him to come here together. He must have something to do."

Xia Yechen didn't say anything clearly, but he also verified that Zhou Xiaoyuan's guess was correct. She tucked the blanket on Nini's body, still expressionless, but asked lightly: "So did the chamberlain see anything?"

When the chamberlain heard this, he was frightened for a moment. He probably didn't expect that Zhou Xiaoyuan, who was born as a commoner, could be so powerful, so his expression instantly became a little more respectful.

He hurriedly explained a few words.

Those explanations were immediately obvious as excuses, but Zhou Xiaoyuan had no intention of pursuing her. She just said: "Keep your voice down and don't disturb Nini to rest."

After that, the carriage fell into silence again, but this time, even the chamberlain who came to observe Zhou Xiaoyuan on the emperor's order did not dare to be presumptuous for a while.

At the same time, she was also very shocked and wondered where Zhou Xiaoyuan's aura of being the daughter of a wealthy family came from.

If Zhou Xiaoyuan knew that the chamberlain was intimidated by her appearance, she was afraid that she would die of joy, but she was just pretending, and learning that insouciance was indeed useful.

Although Mrs. Su looks one thing but acts another, at least she taught her something and is not entirely a bad person.

Zhou Xiaoyuan lowered her eyes and thought,

The carriage quickly drove into the palace, and then it was time to meet the saint.
