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

When they reach a certain place in the palace, the carriage cannot leave, and the group must get down and walk in person.

According to the rules, Xia Yechen was in front, and Zhou Xiaoyuan and Nini were a little behind. However, Xia Yechen was probably worried that she would be nervous, so he deliberately slowed down and whispered.

"Although my father is a bit strict, I won't embarrass you too much. Just answer truthfully. If you can't answer, just lower your head and wait for me to speak."

He said it seriously, but Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a little bored for no reason. She was originally looking forward to meeting the Lord of the World.

But under Xia Yechen's detailed instructions, no matter how much expectation she had, she became helpless. Zhou Xiaoyuan lowered her head and pretended to tell Nini everything Xia Yechen had just said.

After saying this, Xia Yechen also stopped, seemingly aware of Zhou Xiaoyuan's dislike.

Zhou Xiaoyuan thought he would be angry, so she glanced over, only to find that he was just looking at her with a smile. Her heart skipped a beat for no reason. She pursed her lips and muttered as if to relieve her embarrassment: "How long will it take to walk?"

Hearing this, Xia Yechen turned his head and calmed down, "Come on, we can walk slower."

But no matter how slow it is, it will come one day.

Zhou Xiaoyuan knew this very well. She did not show any timidity. She would do whatever Xia Yechen did. Although there was a problem with etiquette, at least the attitude was there. The emperor and Concubine Shu glanced at each other. By the way. His eyes and expressions also softened.

Obviously, the two of them were quite satisfied with Zhou Xiaoyuan. They originally thought she was some kind of country woman who couldn't stand up to the stage, but now she looked dressed up, and at least she looked noble.

However, I just don’t know how central it is.

The emperor wanted to

As he looked, he unconsciously glanced at Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu knew what she was doing. She waved to Zhou Xiaoyuan and said, "Come, come closer and let me take a good look at you."

Zhou Xiaoyuan blinked and her first reaction was to look at Xia Yechen. Seeing him nodding, she moved forward.

The emperor and Concubine Shu didn't mind, they still smiled and asked some questions, and Zhou Xiaoyuan answered them one by one.

It seemed that nothing was wrong, but the next moment, the emperor changed the topic and his tone was much sharper, "After your old husband disappeared, you suddenly became a prince. What do you think now?"

When asked this question, Xia Yechen's expression changed and he subconsciously looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan.

But she didn't wait for him to remind her, and she said directly without much hesitation: "A common girl knows that her status is low and she cannot bear the responsibility of being a princess. Please ask the prince to give me a letter of divorce and we will have nothing to do with her anymore."

As soon as these words were said, not to mention Xia Yechen, the emperor and Concubine Shu were stunned. They looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan in surprise, with obvious confusion in their eyes.

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't notice, and was still talking to herself on the other end.

"...But no matter what, Nini is the prince's daughter after all, and she will only suffer if she follows me. I just hope that the prince can treat her well so that this child will no longer go hungry and cold."

This week Xiaoyuan finally finished speaking. After saying this, she felt like a big stone fell in her heart.

But he didn't know what kind of storm his words had set off in the hearts of others.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yechen saluted and knelt down, with an extremely firm look on his face, and said:

"Father, I do not agree to this. In the past years since I have been away from home, Xiaoyuan has taken care of the family affairs, and she took Nini with her alone.

After such a long period of time, there is no credit but hard work. Divorcing your wife now will inevitably lead to criticism. Sons and ministers must not do this. "

Obviously, Xia Yechen did not expect Zhou Xiaoyuan to say this directly in front of His Majesty, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not that surprising. After all, Zhou Xiaoyuan did have a rebellious heart.

But this was no joke. Xia Yechen sighed inwardly. If the emperor took it seriously, then she would never have a chance to be with the palace again.

Xia Yechen didn't want to think about the fact that maybe Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't want the position of princess at all.

He only knew that Zhou Xiaoyuan was his beloved wife, and he shouldn't let her go like this, both emotionally and rationally. She had already suffered enough by herself, and he definitely couldn't let her suffer like this in the future.

Xia Yechen really wanted to be nice to Zhou Xiaoyuan, so he spoke so excitedly to the emperor.

But in Zhou Xiaoyuan's opinion, this only felt more and more awkward.

But now that the emperor was in power, she couldn't directly argue with Xia Yechen. After all, Mrs. Su's instructions and lessons were still fresh in her mind, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.

On the other hand, I couldn't help but wonder what the emperor and Concubine Shu were thinking at this moment. Logically speaking, they shouldn't agree, right?

After all, with his status, wouldn't agreeing to it harm Xia Yechen?

But Xia Yechen was so insistent, and it was hard to disagree... Zhou Xiaoyuan finally understood why Mrs. Su had such a weird attitude towards her, and it must be because of the title of King Rong.

The room was quiet for a moment. Zhou Xiaoyuan kept her head lowered and did not speak, did not kneel down, and did not make eye contact with Xia Yechen.

Even if it's a little embarrassing, it's better than offending the emperor and being dragged out and beheaded.

.

Zhou Xiaoyuan persisted, hoping that the emperor and Concubine Shu would let her go home. As long as the emperor relented, Xia Yechen would have no reason to persist. By then, Nini would have a way out, and she could continue to work with Zhao Wu and others. Archie went back to start a business.

Your own snack shop is ready, how can you give up at this time? Even if you have all the glory and wealth at your fingertips, can what others give you be the same as relying on yourself?

Zhou Xiaoyuan secretly complained, but also had hope.

But she didn't expect that it was precisely because of her quiet and decent behavior that the emperor and the concubine had a unified view of her.

After all, the scene of Xia Yechen's confrontation with Concubine Shu was still vivid in her mind. Of course, Concubine Shu was not willing to sever the relationship between mother and son again because of Zhou Xiaoyuan, so she hesitated and gave the emperor a careful wink.

When the emperor saw this, he was not very surprised. He nodded, raised his hand to signal Xia Yechen to get up, and said, "That's all, after all, you two are deeply in love as husband and wife, and you both think about each other."

"If I interfere again, it won't make sense. So, you should go back to the palace to live. As for your status, we can discuss it later."

The emperor's attitude was so light that he strangled Zhou Xiaoyuan's thoughts in the cradle.

She was shocked and a little unhappy.

She raised her head and was about to say something, but Xia Yechen grabbed her first. He didn't give her a chance to resist this time. He just said in a voice that only two people could hear clearly: "Don't look directly at Long Yan."

Zhou Xiaoyuan choked, knowing that Xia Yechen had seen through her own thoughts and was reminding herself, but this matter cannot be settled like this.

Did her entrepreneurial plan just take flight?

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt aggrieved just thinking about it. She curled her lips and wrinkled her nose with a grimace.
