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

Xia Yechen sighed helplessly. Looking at Nini's cute appearance, he felt a pang of love in his heart.

"Nini, I've been a little busy recently, but I will definitely find time to play with you." Xia Yechen comforted, "I promise."

However, Nini didn't understand Xia Yechen's busyness and fatigue. She just wanted to have fun. Her father didn't accompany her, so she had no choice but to find her grandfather.

"Nini, why are you here?" The emperor asked in surprise after seeing Nini, "Have you finished all your homework?"

"It's done." Nini replied sweetly, "I got full marks in every subject."

Although Nini is still young, she is thin but extremely smart and has extremely high talents. Among children her age, she always stood out and amazed people.

The emperor admired Nini's talent and intelligence very much and was often proud of her on various occasions.

"Nini is such a smart child." The emperor often praised her in the court. "Her talent and talent are unparalleled in the world, and she will definitely have great achievements in the future."

Every time she heard the emperor's praise, Nini would lower her head shyly, but her heart was filled with joy and pride. She knew that her efforts were not in vain and she was recognized and appreciated by the emperor.

However, as time passed, the emperor's requirements for Nini became higher and higher. He not only hoped that Nini could learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting well, but also required her to become proficient in this area.

Every day, the emperor would arrange high-intensity learning tasks for Nini, leaving her with almost no time to play and rest.

"Nini, you can't just play, you have to study more." The emperor often taught Nini this way.

Ni, "You have to understand that only through continuous learning and hard work can you become a useful person."

Although Nini felt a little pressured, she knew that the emperor's expectations and requirements were for her own good. So she has been silently enduring this pressure and working hard to learn various knowledge and skills.

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Nini distressedly.

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Nini's increasingly thin face, her heart filled with love and worry.

She doesn't want Nini to be crushed by the emperor's expectations, nor does she want her to become a child who has lost her childhood and happiness.

So, she decided to talk to Xia Yechen, hoping that he could persuade the emperor to withdraw his imperial decree to Nini.

"Xia Yechen, the emperor's expectations for Nini are too high." Zhou Xiaoyuan pleaded, "Nini is still a child. She needs a happy childhood and cannot be bound by the emperor's pressure."

Xia Yechen understood Zhou Xiaoyuan's concerns, and he also felt sorry for Nini's situation. However, he also understood that the emperor's expectation was for Nini's good and the future of the country.

Therefore, he hesitated and didn't know how to respond to Zhou Xiaoyuan's request.

"I know the emperor's expectation is for Nini's good." Xia Yechen sighed, "However, I also understand Zhou Xiaoyuan's worries. I will try my best to persuade the emperor to reduce the pressure on Nini so that she can have more freedom and hapiness."

However, when Xia Yechen went to the emperor to talk about the matter, the emperor put forward a condition that Xia Yechen could not accept.

"If you want me to take back my imperial decree and let Nini grow up freely," the emperor said lightly, "then you must take a concubine."

Xia Yechen was shocked. He did not expect that the emperor would make such a request.

etc.

I know how important concubinage is to a man. It is not only related to the man's dignity and face, but also to the reproduction and inheritance of the family.

However, Xia Yechen was not willing to sacrifice his feelings and family in order to meet the emperor's requirements.

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your love and trust."

Xia Yechen said firmly, "However, I cannot accept this condition. My feelings and family are very important to me, and I cannot sacrifice them to meet your requirements."

The emperor's face darkened after hearing this. He did not expect that Xia Yechen would refuse his request. He began to doubt Xia Yechen's loyalty and ability, and began to worry about Nini's future.

He believed that it was all because of Zhou Xiaoyuan's intervention and obstruction that Xia Yechen rejected his request. Therefore, he blamed Zhou Xiaoyuan for all his mistakes.

"Zhou Xiaoyuan, all this is because of you!" the emperor said angrily, "You always interfere in Xia Yechen and I's affairs, and you always influence Xia Yechen's decisions with your own ideas."

"You are no exception this time, you are a selfish woman!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a pain in her heart after hearing this. She did not expect that her care and concern would receive such a response.

She knew her behavior might be a bit excessive, but she also did it out of love and concern for Nini. She didn't want Nini to lose her happy childhood and her own happiness like herself.

"Your Majesty, I admit that I may have gone too far." Zhou Xiaoyuan said with tears, "But I did this out of love and concern for Nini."

"I don't want her to lose her happiness and joy like me."

Ni has always been a very obedient and sensible child. When she learned that her father was forced to take a concubine because of his studies, she felt very guilty and sad.

She understood that her father loved her mother very much and valued her family very much. Therefore, she decided to study hard in exchange for the emperor no longer allowing Xia Yechen to have concubines.

"Mother, I will study hard." Nini said firmly, "I will study hard so that the emperor will no longer keep concubines for my father."

When Zhou Xiaoyuan heard her daughter's promise, she couldn't help but feel sore in her eyes and shed tears of emotion. She knew that her daughter had endured too much pressure and burden for her family and her father.

But she also understands that this kind of overruling will definitely have a negative impact on her daughter's growth.

"Nini, you are a very sensible child." Zhou Xiaoyuan hugged her daughter tenderly, "But learning is not the only criterion. You need to have a happy childhood and not let yourself be too heavy."

Nini nodded silently after hearing this. She knew that her mother's words made sense. But she also knew that she had to think about her family and her father, not just her own feelings.

During Nini's study, a gentleman who taught her was full of praise for her talent and talents.

This gentleman thinks that Nini is a very smart child, but this way of pushing back on others will definitely have a negative impact on her growth.

He suggested that Xia Yechen should not assign too much homework to his daughter, but rather give her more freedom and time to play and relax.

Xia Yechen felt very distressed and guilty after hearing her husband's suggestion. He understands that he gives women

The pressure on my son is too great.

He decided not to arrange so much homework so that his daughter could have more freedom and time to enjoy the joy and beauty of childhood.
