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

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt that she was also at fault. How could she just blame others so casually?

But it was obviously too late to persuade people to come back now, not to mention that Xia Yechen was indeed the culprit of everything. She thought it would be okay to go check on Xia Yechen's condition after eating later.

So I didn't save anything, I just asked Songling to pack a portion.

Song Ling was inevitably a little resentful in his heart, but his master didn't say anything, and he, a servant, had no way to speak, so he could only prepare according to Zhou Xiaoyuan's instructions. After finishing it in a hurry, he hurriedly followed the figure who had not gone far outside the door. When Xia Yechen saw him, his expression became even more lonely.

Zhou Xiaoyuan in the yard did not notice this. Others were relieved when they saw Xia Yechen leaving. Princess Jialun was the first to bear the brunt and directly invited everyone to eat together. Zhou Xiaoyuan also laughed.

She hugged Nini, who seemed a little depressed for some reason, and kissed Nini on the face while letting everyone eat and drink.

Asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Why are you not happy at all?"

Nini raised her head and said in confusion: "Why doesn't Daddy hug me? Is Daddy angry?"

Even though the little girl was smart, she couldn't understand the world of people. Zhou Xiaoyuan hesitated, shook her head and said, "Daddy has something going on, so he didn't stay."

"Why would daddy be angry with Nini? If he is angry, he is also angry...ah, it's nothing. Is Nini hungry?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan originally wanted to say that even if she was angry, she should be angry with herself, but before she finished speaking, she realized that these words obviously could not comfort Nini.

So she changed the topic temporarily and took the initiative to add dishes.

It's just that little Nini is still bored and has no appetite.

Princess Jialun looked on and suddenly said: "Is there anything fun? It's so boring just eating. Nini is about to fall asleep. As a mother, why don't you coax her?" Or let Nini continue to sleep? It would be too boring."

After saying this, Zhou Xiaoyuan thought of something. She thought about it for a moment and then greeted her, "Okay, just play games. Do you know how to drink?"

In fact, there are other games that can be played. Zhou Xiaoyuan has a lot of things left in her mind, but those modern games require new rules.

If it were changed to the past, Zhou Xiaoyuan would definitely be enthusiastic about Amway.

But for some reason, with Nini acting like a spoiled child, Xia Yechen's lonely figure before leaving kept appearing in front of Zhou Xiaoyuan's eyes, and for a while, she really wasn't in the mood to think about anything else.

Fortunately, Princess Jialun also cooperated. She didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere in the venue, and her eyes lit up when she heard Zhou Xiaoyuan say the drinking order.

"I've heard of it! But no one else lets me drink!"

Princess Jialun said, her eyes sparkling, and she took the initiative to ask: "What kind of wine is there? If you don't know how, I can teach you - but I have agreed in advance that I will not drink ordinary wine."

As she said this, Zhou Xiaoyuan glanced at her and interrupted her thoughts directly, "Don't think about it. I have prepared all the ingredients, but not the wine."

Upon hearing this, Princess Jialun's expression suddenly dropped.

"It's so boring, so boring... Wait, no, you don't have any wine, so what's the drinking order? What's the point?"

She seemed to have just reacted

Come, keenly grasp the loopholes in Zhou Xiaoyuan's words, and expectancy comes back to her eyes, "So you actually brought wine, right? You were just scaring me, right? Xiaoyuan, don't worry, I will try it out." If you take two bites, you will definitely not get drunk and go crazy."

This promise had no credibility at all. Zhou Xiaoyuan hugged Nini and sneered. She righteously rejected Princess Jialun's proposal and said, "I said there will be no wine if there is no wine."

"Does the drinking order require wine? How about this, whoever breaks up can eat. Isn't this more fun?"

How could Princess Jialun have imagined that Zhou Xiaoyuan had such an idea.

She suddenly felt even sadder. She looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan in confusion, curled her lips and said, "It's not fun at all. I won't participate."

Whether Princess Jialun would participate or not was not within Zhou Xiaoyuan's mind. How could she not know the princess' temperament and what was on her mind? If it was fun, this girl would eagerly participate.

So Zhou Xiaoyuan was not worried about her being angry at all. When she heard Princess Jialun say this, she seemed to be impatient and spoke immediately.

"Then let the rest of us play together."

"——Xiaoyuan! How can you be so heartless? Wuwuwuwu..."

The courtyard was very lively, and Princess Jialun's complaints could be heard in the distance. Xia Yechen felt lonely as he walked in front. Song Ling next to him looked at him, but hesitated to speak.

Originally, Xia Yechen should have gone back to the study at this time. As he had told others in the yard before, he was just going to handle official business.

But Xia Yechen really didn't want to go back.

Obviously, it is already necessary to handle official business in the study room.

It was his instinct, but now Xia Yechen hated this instinct very much. He couldn't help but wonder how things could have turned out like this - from the beginning, it was obvious that he was the prince who grew up from the common people.

Why was even Jialun more adaptable to living with Zhou Xiaoyuan than him? Xia Yechen didn't know what he had done wrong or what he had done right.

The more he thought about it, the more he entered a dead end. Xia Yechen's body pressure was horribly low. Next to him, Song Ling finally couldn't help it and whispered: "Your Majesty..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Yechen interrupted.

He sat in the pavilion in front and said coldly, "That's enough. Just shut up and go get a few bottles of wine. I want to drink."

Obviously, there was a hint of anger in Xia Yechen's tone. Songling looked a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything. He could only turn around to get the wine again, and put down the things in his hands before leaving.

The food box was placed on the table, and the slight movement caught Xia Yechen's side eyes. His expression seemed a little silent, and his lips were pursed tightly.

Perhaps he was drinking to drown his sorrows. Song Ling brought the wine and Xia Yechen drank it down in one gulp. He still looked a little confused and felt depressed.

At this time, Xia Yechen finally realized that there still seemed to be a long distance between him and Zhou Xiaoyuan. The canonization ceremony was already close at hand, but their relationship did not seem to have changed much. Zhou Xiaoyuan's repeated hints did not matter in the end. He can only be allowed to leave.

If it had been before... If it had been before, Xia Yechen thought to herself silently, imagining how they would have lived together if she had never left. How would there be things in her life?

My own shadow?

Xia Yechen drank too hastily and too fast. Song Ling next to him looked frightened and opened his mouth to persuade him but was unable to do anything.
