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

As soon as she said this, Zhou Xiaoyuan burst out laughing. Although Princess Jialun didn't know what was funny, she also laughed along with her.

After a while, Zhou Xiaoyuan was about to explain, but Yingmei's blocking voice suddenly came from outside: "Young miss, young miss! You can't go in, the princess is still inside, the princess and the girl have something to say..."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan and Princess Jialun stood up in unison. Sure enough, the next second Nini rushed into the yard. When she saw the two of them, her eyes widened with smiles. She rushed over happily and hugged Zhou Xiaoyuan first. After a while, he pounced on Princess Jialun.

Obediently shouted: "Auntie Huang! You came to play with Nini. Nini thought you were going to be locked up."

This shout made Princess Jialun's heart melt. Her face was suddenly filled with a smile, she patted her chest and said, "How is that possible? No one here can lock me up!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan smiled and watched the two of them quarreling. Just as she was about to say something, Zhao Wu also walked in. She glanced at the aunt and nephew on the other side and couldn't help but shook her head. She looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan helplessly and said, "Nini. When I heard that Princess Jialun was coming, I was very happy and clamored to come to see you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan curled her lips first, glanced at Nini pretending to be pitiful, and said in a small voice that could be heard by several people present: "It turns out you didn't come here because you missed your mother."

This was so aggrieved that Nini turned around suddenly, took Zhou Xiaoyuan's hand and coaxed her with a milky voice.

"No! Nini is just looking at my aunt, my mother is the best!"

Princess Jialun next to her was shocked when she heard what the little girl said.

After dropping it, he looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan and then at Nini.

I couldn't help but shake my head: "Xiaoyuan, you are so jealous!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan was very happy to receive her daughter's assurance. She glanced at Princess Jialun and said proudly: "Why can't you be jealous? How can you, who has no daughter, understand what it's like to be a mother?"

After saying that, Zhou Xiaoyuan kissed Nini's cute little face again like she was competing for favor, which made Princess Jialun's eyes brimming with excitement.

So he repeated his old trick and started playing around with her, hoping to get Nini to kiss her cheek.

This time it was Zhao Wu who was watching from the side.

She was originally as light-hearted as Ju, and would not want to argue about anything. Now that she saw that they were having fun, she naturally had no intention of dissuading her. However, every time Zhou Xiaoyuan saw her when she returned to the capital, she would inevitably try to tease her.

But after looking at it like this, Zhou Xiaoyuan discovered something. She blinked and asked proactively: "Where is Archie? Why don't you see him?"

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhao Wu didn't feel any surprise. She nodded and told: "Originally, Archi was going to come with him, but the prince sent someone to call him over temporarily."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan was a little dazed and asked strangely: "What is Xia Yechen looking for Archie for? Could it be..."

It can't be because of what happened yesterday, right?

She was immediately worried, fearing that Archie would be punished for making his own decision, but when she was about to leave, Zhao Wu held her back and shook her head.

Zhao Wu seemed much more relaxed than Zhou Xiaoyuan, and even tried to persuade her: "Why worry? Don't you still believe in the prince?"

"Not really, I just feel..."

Zhou Xiaoyuan paused, but she didn't say anything for a moment. She probably had

There was some hesitation, but Mrs. Zhao Wu could roughly guess what she was thinking, so she said tactfully, "Even if you took Archie to see the imperial doctor when you came back yesterday, it was your thing after all."

"After all, Archie is an adopted son with no blood relationship. He has to let the prince express his stance on both emotions and reasons."

What he said was not very clear, but after listening to it, Zhou Xiaoyuan understood that Zhao Wu was reminding her that in the final analysis, Xia Yechen still had to look at her, and Zhou Xiaoyuan alone would not be able to last long.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoyuan also calmed down. She nodded, looked at Princess Jialun and Nini next to her, and suggested that they go to the back garden to play.

Everyone present had no objections and naturally walked together.

On the other side, Archi had been taken to the study by Song Ling. Xia Yechen was sitting at the desk reviewing official documents. When he heard the voice, he put down his pen and looked up to see a trembling little man standing in front of him.

Xia Yechen frowned without any trace, and quickly realized that this was probably a normal reaction. He had only been in contact with this child twice, so it was normal to be afraid. After all, he was a famous Shura evil god on the battlefield before. .

Thinking of this, Xia Yechen didn't pay much attention to it, but seeing Archie's cautious look, he paused and said, "Actually, I came to you today to reward you."

Upon hearing this, Archie raised his head somewhat flattered, but quickly lowered his head again, as if he had just realized some etiquette.

Being so cautious is actually a good thing.

Xia Yechen reluctantly comforted himself and said, "You don't have to think too much. What you did yesterday was very important."

Okay, I didn't go to see you immediately yesterday because of trivial matters. You won't be angry, right? "

After all the talk, Archi didn't dare to speak, so he shook his head violently. He didn't even dare to look at Xia Yechen, so he just said obediently.

"This is what Archie should do, it's nothing to reward."

Xia Yechen disagreed with this. He said directly: "Rewards and punishments must be proportional, and some things are more clear. I asked you to protect your mother and Nini before, and you did a good job. Since you have done a good job , then why can’t I reward you?”

"But these..." Archie looked hesitant and asked dully, "Don't you think that I am too self-assertive and not cautious?"

Xia Yechen didn't expect that he would remember such a question.

But soon, Xia Yechen realized that children don't understand so much, especially a little beggar like Archie, who was raised as a typical example of a poor child becoming a master early.

Thinking of this, Xia Yechen's expression became much heavier. He shook his head and carried forward what he just said.

"I said yesterday that you are my adopted son. Why did you forget it? Or do you mean that you don't like me as my adopted father very much?"

This question was almost like giving a proposition. Archie shook his head directly when he heard it, but at the same time he didn't know which side to answer. No matter which side he returned to, it didn't seem right, so he hesitated, and he usually looked like someone else. Luoluo Dafang was gone at this moment.

In this way, the contrast became more and more obvious, and Xia Yechen sighed more and more. He did not restrict others, but could only impose one rule in the end.

"You really don't need to be so careful, we are one now

Family members, of course, will be the same in the future. How can an adopted son take care of his adoptive father's duties? "
