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

The emperor sighed deeply when he thought of this.

He no longer cares about those who have something and don't have it. Since he feels that his status is not worthy of him, he simply downgrades to someone with a lower status. Why should a gay child be angry?

Thinking of this, the emperor finally agreed and gave Zhou Xiaoyuan the title of concubine to live in Prince Rong's Mansion.

Even though she was just a concubine, Xia Yechen understood that this was the best outcome for the fight between father and son. He had already achieved his goal, so he thanked Tianen and stopped pursuing the matter of falling into the water. He hurriedly hugged Zhou Xiaoyuan and wanted to leave, but was caught. Concubine Shu stopped him.

She looked thoughtfully, but also with a sense of compromise, and said to Xia Yechen: "She is seriously injured. Let her rest in my palace for a while. It will be too tiring to return to Prince Rong's Mansion at this time."

Xia Yechen raised his head, glanced at his biological mother with a complicated expression, and nodded after a while.

After watching Concubine Shu, mother and son leave, the emperor turned around.

Concubine Jia immediately wanted to leave with the other concubines, but the emperor stopped her and warned her: "Be calm, I don't want to see this happen a second time."

The emperor did not specify who he was referring to. After saying this, he turned around and left.

He didn't even have the intention to look at Concubine Jia.

Now everyone understood how unfavored Concubine Jia was in His Majesty's heart. Concubine Jia herself was trembling with anger, but she kept her head down and dug her nails into her flesh to maintain her dignity.

Even though Concubine Shu left before everyone else, relying on her understanding of the emperor, she could guess what kind of embarrassing situation Concubine Jia Gui would face at this time. For a moment, she just felt happy, thinking about this self-proclaimed noble Concubine Jia Gui

The concubine actually had such a day.

But before this idea came to fruition, Xia Yechen, who had just confirmed that Zhou Xiaoyuan's body was fine, walked out. He noticed at a glance that Concubine Shu was in a good mood.

He was not stupid, he quickly guessed where Zhou Xiaoyuan's sudden misfortune came from, and he was extremely angry for a moment.

For the first time, he warned his biological mother in a harsh tone——

"Mother Concubine, I still call you Mother Concubine just because you are my mother, but Xiaoyuan is innocent. Why should she be involved in the struggle in the harem?"

Concubine Shu was stunned, feeling a little guilty after hearing Xia Yechen's words. She coughed lightly, unable to help but defend herself.

"This matter is not what the mother-in-law wants. If Concubine Jia hadn't been so aggressive, how could I get involved with this girl? Besides, the girl said it herself. The soldiers will cover up the water and the earth."

When she said this, Xia Yechen felt a little weird. After taking a look at Concubine Shu to make sure that she didn't seem to be lying, Xia Yechen became more complicated. He frowned and said, "My son, I didn't know that Concubine Shu was in the past." You actually trust Xiaoyuan so much."

It was a declarative sentence, but in fact this sentence was obviously a question. Concubine Shu's expression became a little bad when she was pressed like this, so she spoke carefully.

"Believe it or not, it's just that you can't stay in the harem for a long time. You'd better go back to the palace as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yechen refused without thinking.

He insisted on waiting for Zhou Xiaoyuan to wake up before talking, but he didn't want Concubine Shu to twitch the corners of her lips without any trace after hearing these words, and continued to urge: "Concubine Shu will take good care of your beloved one for you. This time It was really just an accident, you

You can’t trust your mother and concubine anymore? "

"Of course I don't want to doubt my mother and concubine, but Xiaoyuan's face is so bad, I really can't worry about it."

Xia Yechen knew that Concubine Shu was urging her, but he didn't see Zhou Xiaoyuan wake up with his own eyes, so how could he feel relieved? Until this moment, Xia Yechen didn't realize that Zhou Xiaoyuan was avoiding him on purpose.

Seeing her silly son's appearance, Concubine Shu could only shake her head even more, and then used Zhou Xiaoyuan's previous words to suppress him.

"If I guess correctly, you were having conflicts before, right?"

Xia Yechen was still a little confused after hearing this, so Concubine Shu had no choice but to speak more clearly, "How do you think she would be willing to see you even if she wakes up?"

These words were heartbreaking, and Xia Yechen's face turned pale as he thought of his previous plan.

Although he has always been asking for status from the emperor, Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't know that if she woke up at this time and asked if he had to rely on the emperor's power to force her to stay in the palace...

Xia Yechen found that he really couldn't answer. He did have such selfish motives, but he also wanted Zhou Xiaoyuan to live a good life.

But Zhou Xiaoyuan, who was so angry, probably couldn't listen.

Thinking about it this way, Concubine Shu's proposal was not considered a good idea. Xia Yechen was a little reluctant, but he could only follow his mother's advice and leave alone.

Concubine Shu watched Xia Yechen's back disappear completely, and she felt relieved. She opened the door and walked in, and glanced at the person on the bed.

But at the same time, she did not ignore the strange sound when she just entered the door.

Thinking of this, Concubine Shu was a little funny.

She has something on her mind

When Zhou Xiaoyuan opened her mouth, she was naturally not prepared to accompany her in the performance, so she simply exposed it directly: "Why are you pretending to be asleep when everyone is gone? My son is too anxious to think of anything else. I am not so easily deceived."

After talking to this point, Zhou Xiaoyuan, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, thought about it and found that she really had no reason to pretend in front of Concubine Shu. She coughed and got up from the bed.

She did not salute, but nodded slightly, as if she was waiting for Concubine Shu to continue speaking.

Originally it was Concubine Shu who initiated the conversation, and it was understandable that Zhou Xiaoyuan waited so long. However, after what happened just now, Concubine Shu obviously did not expect that Zhou Xiaoyuan would be so cooperative with her.

Thinking of her previous prejudice against her, Concubine Shu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She didn't know what to say for a moment, and she felt that it would be most embarrassing if she didn't speak. In the end, it was Zhou Xiaoyuan who spoke considerately: "Don't worry, Madam, you are Your Majesty’s mother-in-law, I am naturally on your side, so it would be great if you could take this opportunity to take a breath.”

Obviously, these words were a sign of surrender. Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't mind being used. She even knew that she would be used, just to gain a place in the harem.

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt that she could understand.

After talking, the atmosphere really eased. Concubine Shu was surprised, but she was also satisfied with Zhou Xiaoyuan's attitude. She nodded thoughtfully and said, "You are really smart to think of this."

"I like to talk to smart people, but..." Concubine Shu changed the subject the next moment and brought Xia Yechen into the conversation again.

"Please tell me carefully about my son.

What is your idea? I heard those things in the past, but I couldn't figure them out. "
