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

Thinking like this, he seemed slightly stunned. When Xia Yechen was hesitant, Zhou Xiaoyuan also noticed.

She stopped talking, thinking that he was not interested in what she said, so she asked curiously: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty? What are you thinking about?"

As soon as he said this, Xia Yechen came back to his senses, but when he heard the prince from Zhou Xiaoyuan's mouth, he didn't seem so happy.

"I told you, just call me Yechen."

Even though she said that, Zhou Xiaoyuan still stuck out her tongue in her heart, thinking who is calling someone by name? These two words sounded too embarrassing...

But thinking of their identities, Zhou Xiaoyuan felt helpless.

Well, compared to the husband-in-law and the like, just calling someone by name is considered an act of mercy outside the law.

Zhou Xiaoyuan complained quietly, but at the same time she still did not forget what she had just asked. She tilted her head and brought the topic back, "You were obviously in a daze just now, but don't think about changing the topic."

She said it playfully, and Xia Yechen didn't mean to be angry. He just smiled involuntarily, and then said:

"It's okay, I just wanted to say that I'm not hungry, but seeing how happy you said it, I didn't want to interrupt you."

Is that all? Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Xia Yechen with obvious suspicion in her eyes.

But Xia Yechen was also calm and composed.

He thought for a while, pulled out a chair for Zhou Xiaoyuan, and asked her: "You don't usually come to my place. Today...is it because of the affairs of those palace ladies?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan cooperated and did it. She never thought that Xia Yechen would be so straightforward.

She coughed, a little embarrassed.

But Xia Yechen obviously didn't either

I wanted her to keep asking about what I was just dazed about, so I just followed the trend.

"When I brought those people here today, I was thinking about when you would come to me. It was a bit late, but I am still very happy. At least you came to me."

He said it a little sadly, and Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't even know how to speak.

Saying this, it was as if it was still her fault.

Zhou Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "You mean... you still hope that I will come to investigate and prosecute?"

Who would be such a good man to do such a thing? Zhou Xiaoyuan even wondered if Xia Yechen's brain circuit was different from her own, otherwise how could he come up with such a thing.

Her words were clearly a rhetorical question, but in Xia Yechen's ears, they became a request for confirmation.

The man squinted his eyes slightly, with a soft smile in his eyes, and said softly: "That's right."

In the lightning room, under Xia Yechen's doting smile, Zhou Xiaoyuan suddenly understood something. She wrinkled her nose and said a little unhappy, "Then according to your words, I will really be angry." ."

The man was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head, feeling a little helpless after all.

On the other hand, he said: "I really can't say enough about you..."

"Okay," Xia Yechen compromised, "Let's talk serious business, those are just palace ladies, arranged by my mother and concubine to serve you."

"Serving me?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan asked back. She was not surprised that Xia Yechen said this. She could guess what excuse Shu Fei used, but it was indeed beyond imagination that Xia Yechen was so good at pretending to be stupid.

Thinking like this, Xia Yechen on the other end nodded hard

Head, as if afraid that she wouldn't believe it, he added a little explanation.

"If you don't believe it, I can take you to the palace now."

Zhou Xiaoyuan's eyes widened when she said this, and after realizing it, she quickly rejected it, "Then no need... I believe you!"

Although she said this, Zhou Xiaoyuan was complaining in her heart. If Concubine Shu knew that the person she sent here had her hair cut off, and the culprit showed off in front of her...

I'm afraid things are not that simple.

She originally thought so, but she didn't expect that Xia Yechen really had this plan. Seeing that the man refused to agree to her, he even said directly:

"Then why don't I send them back and say I don't like them."

After taking it all, wouldn't it be a slap in the face if you take it back? Zhou Xiaoyuan shook her head and realized that Xia Yechen was serious. She asked tentatively, "Are all these beauties really placed in my room?"

Hearing this, Xia Yechen frowned, glanced at Zhou Xiaoyuan, then his expression softened, and he shook his head.

"I haven't looked at them directly. Maybe Songling has. If you think they look good, stay here. If you think they are an eyesore..."

Xia Yechen's words were full of murderous intent.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was startled for a moment. She blinked and felt relieved inexplicably when she saw Xia Yechen quickly restraining himself when he noticed her discomfort.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Xiaoyuan finally asked, "Then... you don't want to keep someone by your side? See what I mean by looking good?"

"In other words, since they are the people sent by the Queen to serve you, they must be very considerate - don't you... don't want them to take care of you?"

This too

A test, but Xia Yechen remained calm.

He shook his head directly and said bluntly: "Since the concubine gave it to you, everything is your arrangement. I don't need it here. I have a guard."

Xia Yechen's answer was impeccable. After thinking about it, he added, "If you feel that you don't need their care, you can also let them live in the servant's room directly without any arrangements. Will it be convenient for you to do so?" a little?"

Of course, it will be much more convenient for her to show this way, and people in the palace will also know more and more about Zhou Xiaoyuan's status in Xia Yechen's heart from this point, but...

Zhou Xiaoyuan blinked and asked curiously: "What should I do over there?"

"What should I do?"

Xia Yechen answered without hesitation, as if he didn't care at all, while Zhou Xiaoyuan thought of something and couldn't help but smile.

If Concubine Shu knew that the people she sent over were all on her side, even if she had the idea of ​​​​surveillance from the beginning, Zhou Xiaoyuan did not think that Concubine Shu would be the kind of person who would die on one road.

These palace maids probably have many jobs.

The reason why Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't want to take over at the beginning was also because of this. After all, she was sent by Concubine Shu. If she hindered anything, she would probably have to be talked about by those palace ladies.

But what was surprising was that Xia Yechen actually trusted her so much and stood on her side without any reason.

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt that her words for this trip were indeed good.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoyuan's eyebrows softened. When she came to her senses, she found that Xia Yechen was still looking at her. She tilted her head and said seriously: "In that case... then I'll accept it."

Finished, Zhou

Xiaoyuan thought of something and her cheeks turned red. "...By the way, and - thank you for arranging breakfast."
