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

But as soon as he said this, Archie obviously hesitated.

Little Archie was obviously quite uneasy about the previous situation, and couldn't help but whisper: "But...but my adoptive father said that you don't know that many words, so he asked me not to learn from you."

Why are you trying to undermine her in front of her children? Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a little awkward, put down the book and coughed again.

"...Do you believe me when I say that I just made a mistake that time?"

The child's eyes were blank and innocent. He only looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan and said cautiously, "Of course I believe it. How could Archie not believe his adoptive mother?"

Seeing his cautious look, Zhou Xiaoyuan stopped trying to joke a few times. She shook her head helplessly and muttered: "Forget it, forget it, you can't read if you don't know how to read. I won't teach you." Isn’t it okay?”

It is not necessary for parents to accompany their children to teach them homework. Zhou Xiaoyuan shrugged, sat down with Archie, and said with interest: "Then let me tell you a few idiom stories. They are very interesting."

Zhou Xiaoyuan also knew that she could not recognize many words yet. After all, this was ancient times in an unknown parallel world, and misrecognition of words was extremely common.

But some stories cannot be changed. Telling these to Archie not only solves the problem of companionship but also the problem of education.

It was like killing two birds with one stone, so Archie agreed.

Zhou Xiaoyuan racked her brains to form words and talked a lot. Archie was also listening obediently and occasionally asked a few questions. She seemed quieter than Nini. This was the first time Zhou Xiaoyuan found that Archie could be so quiet.

Maybe this is the importance of children of the same age. If Nini were here, Ah

Qi's liveliness can at least be improved by several points.

Zhou Xiaoyuan sighed in her heart, saying that even when her mouth was dry and her tongue was dry, Archie would offer him a cup of tea.

She took it and took a sip, then glanced out the window.

"It's getting a little dark. Where did Archie eat these days? Are you hungry? Do you want to have dinner with me today?"

"Of course!" Archie jumped up excitedly and almost knocked over the tea cup in Zhou Xiaoyuan's hand. Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoyuan reacted quickly and took the cup back.

But at the same time, Zhou Xiaoyuan also found it funny and said helplessly: "Are you so happy? It's just a meal. I'm free today, so you don't have to be like this."

Archie just shook his head when he heard this and said frankly: "I am very satisfied that you can remember Archie. Thank you."

His modest words still made people feel weird. Zhou Xiaoyuan paused and couldn't help but remind her: "Actually, you don't have to take my words to heart. If you want to see me, or someone bullies you, If so, you can come and look for me, you know?"

"If you can't find me, a housekeeper, a guard, any of these people will do, but you also remember - some people don't have eyes, and we can't imitate them. Even if you don't need anyone to serve you, you should leave some people in the yard. of."

Zhou Xiaoyuan spoke calmly and didn't seem to mean to accuse anything, but Aqi was also very smart.

His heart tightened and he immediately understood what Zhou Xiaoyuan meant.

Unable to help but feel a little uneasy, he hesitated and said, "Archie knows. Archie just doesn't think it's necessary. I can also take care of myself."

Zhou Xiaoyuan held his hand and walked out slowly, while also persuading him.

"I know you are a good boy, and I know you can take care of yourself, but you have to have someone by your side to protect you."

In fact, Zhou Xiaoyuan also wanted to say that the palace was no better than the outside. They were all ordinary people back then, so naturally no one cared.

But if someone deliberately targets him, Archie, a little child, is really worrying.

But these words seemed too unfounded for a child.

After all, Archie has always been obedient, and there is no precedent for leaving the house alone these days. In other words, without Nini's encouragement, Archie is always a cautious and well-behaved child.

Thinking of the things Nini had done before, Zhou Xiaoyuan's old mother's thoughts became even more funny. She shook her head, and did not want to put too much pressure on Archie, so she simply said: "Forget it, you are a big kid too. I should be somewhat measured and I don’t have to say too much, right?”

Archi nodded vigorously as he listened, with a shy smile on his face. Zhou Xiaoyuan felt relieved and took him to her yard for dinner, and then brought him back in person.

When leaving, Zhou Xiaoyuan asked, "Are you afraid of sleeping alone? How about my stepmother tell you a bedtime story?"

Hearing this, the little boy's eyes sparkled under the light, "Is that okay, mother?"

It's my mother...

Zhou Xiaoyuan relented and nodded without hesitation, "Of course, as long as you don't think the story I'm telling is boring."

"How could it be! The stories you told are all very interesting. No wonder Nini knows so many things." Archi's sweetness was similar to Nini's, and Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help laughing when she heard Nini's name.

So Zhou Xiao

Yuan went back again, tucked Aqi into a quilt, thought about it for a while, and told the story of carving a boat to find a sword.

Her voice was gentle, which was really suitable for telling a bedtime story. Before she could explain the ins and outs of the story she had painstakingly compiled, the child's breathing had become even. Zhou Xiaoyuan glanced at it, stood up and left quietly.

Archie hadn't slept so well for a long time. When he opened his eyes, the gentle female voice seemed to still linger in his dream.

But when I woke up, I found no one beside the bed.

The little boy was stunned. For a moment, he felt that everything yesterday was a dream. Just when he was feeling a little sad, a maid's voice suddenly came from outside: "Young Master Archi? Are you awake?"

"If you wake up, your slave has come in? Miss Zhou has sent someone over to ask if you want to go there for breakfast."

Probably because she knew what Archie was like, the maid didn't even wait for Archie's signal to let her in, and just told everything in one go.

But I have to say that this method is much more efficient than before.

As soon as Archi heard the word "Miss Zhou", he understood immediately. He was a little happy, and he quickly climbed out of bed and opened the door to agree. The maid on the other side came back to life, and the maid here also hurriedly fetched water for Archi. Come and wash up.

The atmosphere at breakfast was still very good. Xia Yechen also came over. He was not surprised to see Archie. Instead, he greeted him and asked him to sit down.

I casually asked about my homework, but unfortunately it was too heavy a topic to talk about so early in the morning.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoyuan heard this, she glared at Xia Yechen and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you talking about these things so early in the morning? Can't you keep your mouth shut even when you eat? You wait for Archie to eat

What happens after breakfast? "

There was a hint of coquettishness in her words, and Archie couldn't quite understand it, but he saw Xia Yechen smile fondly.
