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

This could be said to be a clear threat or a persuasion. How could Zhou Xiaoyuan not understand it?

She was just a little unwilling that she really only had this option. She thought about it for a long time, but the royal power was so powerful that how could she, a commoner, really do anything?

Zhou Xiaoyuan was reluctant, but she could only follow Xia Yechen to the palace. Zhao Wu and Nini behind them were all uneasy.

He also wanted to come out to stop him, but was blocked by Song Ling.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan could only say: "You don't have to worry about me. I just went to the palace for a visit and will be back soon. You guys stay here well. If it doesn't work, just listen to...him."

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't want Zhao and Wu to go back, but she was going to the palace. It would be too difficult for Zhao and Wu to raise two children at home alone, so she finally added this sentence , but it sounded obviously a little reluctant.

Xia Yechen glanced at her intentionally, but he also had other thoughts in mind, but didn't say much.

Soon, the two of them boarded the carriage back to the palace.

Along the way, Xia Yechen obviously wanted to talk to Zhou Xiaoyuan, but Zhou Xiaoyuan was determined to be a "dead person". She looked at her nose and heart, as if she had transcended everything and didn't care about anything about Zhou Shen, and ignored all Xia Yechen's actions. , whether it’s to please or whatever.

In the end, Xia Yechen had no choice but to sit back silently. When they arrived at Concubine Shu's palace, the atmosphere between the two was still awkward and stiff, and they didn't look like a couple at all.

Concubine Shu watched all this from the side, and for a while she became even more angry with Zhou Xiaoyuan's attitude.

Listen to Xia Ye

Chen sent someone over to ask if he was there, but Concubine Shu just sneered and said:

"Tell him that I went to visit the Royal Garden and am not in the palace at the moment. Miss Zhou has her own arrangements for that day. Let the prince leave on his own. I don't want to see him."

She said those same words when she saw him, and Concubine Shu could guess what they were talking about. It would be better not to see him, because the man was already here anyway.

It just sounds like a trap no matter how you relay it out.

Xia Yechen looked suspicious and opened his mouth to ask something, but the nanny said to herself: "Your Highness, you have been involved in enough things. Your Majesty is not a snake-hearted person, and she will definitely not be able to eat people." When something happens, just put your heart in your stomach and leave on your own."

It was as if the words were a reminder or not. Xia Yechen frowned and wanted to say something else, but the nanny immediately spoke.

"Your Highness, please don't make me angry. If your attitude is too serious, I won't do anything to you, but Miss Zhou will probably have to learn twice as many rules."

Xia Yechen opened his mouth, but now he couldn't speak anymore.

Zhou Xiaoyuan next to her just wanted to curse when she heard this. She couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the mother and son were selling in the two gourds. They spent so long just to persuade themselves to learn the rules?

What is there to learn from this broken rule? Is it possible that it can prolong life? If it doesn't work, just let her go. She doesn't care about it.

Zhou Xiaoyuan cursed endlessly, but had nothing to say.

After all, there was nothing she could do about it. Concubine Shu was holding Xia Yechen's head, and there was an emperor beside her. As a commoner at the bottom of the social class, it was not easy for her to live a good life.

It doesn't matter, the worst thing is just pretending

After doing this, there must be a road to the mountain, and things cannot end like this.

Zhou Xiaoyuan comforted herself in this way while calming down her expression.

But when she was about to follow her mother in, Xia Yechen grabbed her from the side, looking a little worried.

Zhou Xiaoyuan pulled her hand back expressionlessly, but Xia Yechen didn't give in. He came over and whispered a few words, and finally patted Zhou Xiaoyuan's shoulder with a slightly surprised look in her eyes.

"Okay, you can go now. Remember everything, I'm still behind you."

These words were quite ambiguous. Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at him with a complicated expression, not knowing whether she should believe it or not. After all, what he just said was... a thorn in his side in the palace.

Xia Yechen's intention was very clear, he wanted Zhou Xiaoyuan to send him a message if anything happened.

But after experiencing what happened before, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but think too much.

She did not answer Xia Yechen's last words, and left with her mother without even nodding.

Seeing this, Song Ling looked a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but mutter that Miss Zhou didn't know good people. As soon as he said these words, he was glanced at by Xia Yechen coldly. Xia Yechen obviously still remembered the beginning of this incident. He He didn't pursue it, but he also gave him a warning.

"If I hear these words again, you will know what to do yourself. You can't just forget about the previous matter. Those who gossip will go to the internal affairs department to receive their punishment. Don't let me say it a second time."

Song Ling nodded bravely, and finally asked: "Then Prince, should we go back now or..."

Xia Yechen shook his head and waited stubbornly in the side hall for a long time.

until the final certainty

Concubine Ding Shu really didn't see what she was thinking, so Xia Yechen let out a long sigh and could only hope that things in the palace would change and Concubine Shu would not do anything to Zhou Xiaoyuan for a while.

But at the same time, he thought, maybe this is also an opportunity.

Although he is a found child, he still has instinctive admiration for Concubine Shu. Perhaps Xiaoyuan can take this opportunity to impress his mother and concubine? After all, nothing is absolute...

But thinking that it was too good luck, Xia Yechen shook his head and could only leave under the gentle advice of his grandma.

Zhou Xiaoyuan on the other side was led into another side hall.

It was said that it was a place where no one lived, but there was no place in the palace that was too scrawled and scattered. If it weren't for the whispers of the palace maid, Zhou Xiaoyuan might not be able to understand Concubine Shu's thoughts.

But aside from this, from other aspects, Zhou Xiaoyuan also felt something about it, but not so clearly.

After all, who entertains guests but doesn’t come to see them when they come?

From the time Zhou Xiaoyuan stayed here until the early morning of the next day, there were almost no other people in the store except for her and another palace maid. For a moment, Zhou Xiaoyuan even wondered if Xia Yechen had been deceived.

For example, I was actually plotted by someone, and the person living next to me was not a concubine like Shu...

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Xiaoyuan gave up the idea.

She glanced at the little palace maid who was working hard in the palace, cleaning things and helping her pass the dishes, and her mood was a little subtle - if she guessed correctly, Concubine Shu should do this to give herself a blow.

But this is not the way to show off one's power. Doesn't this empress think that she only gives gifts?

If a palace maid comes to take care of you, you will be angry, right?

Zhou Xiaoyuan shook her head and had nothing to say, so she took the initiative to help him.
