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

Zhou Xiaoyuan was greatly moved. She knew that the reason why Xia Jinwei was unwilling to accept the first pot of gold she earned was because of her trust and encouragement.

Zhou Xiaoyuan said gratefully: "Xia Jinwei, thank you. You are really my good friend."

Xia Jinwei smiled and shook her head, and said, "Zhou Xiaoyuan, we are good friends, there is no need to be polite. I believe you will make more money in the future, so just keep it."

Zhou Xiaoyuan was even more moved after hearing Xia Jinwei's words. She knew that Xia Jinwei really cared about her and hoped that she could live a better life.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoyuan decided to save the money and use it in places where it is more needed in the future.

At this time, good news came from the palace. The emperor was going to hold a big event and all the princes could get some rest.

Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Jinwei were both very happy. They decided to go to the wedding together and took Liu Ran with them.

Liu Ran looked at the exquisite wedding robe and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Zhou Xiaoyuan saw that Liu Ran was a little shy, so she asked with a smile: "Liu Ran, do you also want to hold a wedding with Qin Zhou?"

Liu Ran lowered his head shyly and whispered: "We are still early, and we haven't even written our horoscope yet."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a little confused and asked, "Liu Ran, you are all ordinary people. Naturally, the formation will not be so luxurious."

"But the wedding is the most important moment in life after all. Don't you want to make it grand?"

Liu Ran shook his head and said, "We know our identities and we don't ask for a luxurious wedding. As long as Qin Zhou is devoted to me, we can live a happy life."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan said,

I became even more confused. She felt that Liu Ran seemed a little too low-key. After all, she was a beautiful, smart, and kind-hearted woman who deserved a grand and beautiful wedding.

After returning to the palace, Zhou Xiaoyuan told Xia Yechen what Liu Ran said.

After hearing what Zhou Xiaoyuan said, Xia Yechen asked doubtfully: "Why do you need me to ask? Can't you just ask?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan immediately answered: "That's okay, but I'm worried that someone will be jealous."

After hearing Zhou Xiaoyuan's words, Xia Yechen immediately said seriously: "Then I'll ask. After all, this matter is quite sensitive."

Zhou Xiaoyuan snorted and scolded: "Xia Yechen, can you stop being so childish? Isn't it just a question? Are you serious?"

Xia Yechen smiled and said, "I just don't want you to feel that I don't care about you, so I want to do this myself."

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt sweet in her heart after hearing Xia Yechen's words. She knew that Xia Yechen really cared about her feelings, that's why she wanted to ask Qin Zhou what he thought.

So, she decided to let Xia Yechen do this so that he could participate in her affairs.

Xia Yechen hugged Zhou Xiaoyuan, and the two chatted with each other. Zhou Xiaoyuan nestled in Xia Yechen's arms, feeling like a happy little woman.

Xia Yechen also hugged Zhou Xiaoyuan tightly, feeling extremely happy and satisfied in his heart.

The two were sweet for a while, and finally fell asleep hugging each other.

After Zhou Xiaoyuan woke up, she found that her body was covered with traces left by Xia Yechen, some of which were even difficult to cover up.

She couldn't help complaining, and whispered softly: "Xia Yechen, you leave this

There are so many marks, how should I cover them? "

After hearing Zhou Xiaoyuan's words, Xia Yechen couldn't help but kiss her again. Then he stood up, picked up a box of powder, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I'll just use this to cover it up for you."

Zhou Xiaoyuan glared at Xia Yechen, slapped his hand away, and said, "Go and do something serious, don't waste your time here."

Xia Yechen then remembered that he still had important things to do, so he quickly packed himself up and prepared to go to Qin Zhou.

At this time, Qin Zhou was still selling paintings at a stall in the alley, but the business was bleak and almost no one came to visit.

"Painter Qin, don't be embarrassed. Your painting is good and I like it. You can give me a price, and I will never counter-offer."

When Qin Zhou was recuperating in the inn, Xia Yechen often visited him. Qin Zhou was a little reserved at first, but as time went by, he gradually became familiar with them.

Xia Yechen saw that Qin Zhou was good at painting, so he wanted to pay him to paint one, but Qin Zhou refused to accept the money.

Xia Yechen had no choice but to take a step back and said that he would invite Qin Zhou to his house as a guest when he returned to Beijing, and then he would ask him for advice on calligraphy and painting.

Qin Zhou hesitated and hesitated to speak.

Xia Yechen was suspicious, but didn't ask any more questions.

Return to Zhou Xiaoyuan and tell her everything about the conversation with Qin Zhou.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was so angry that she slammed the table: "What kind of man is this? He clearly doesn't want to take responsibility! If he delays in clarifying things with Liu Ran, he will delay Liu Ran's good time!"

"Don't be angry." Xia Yechen quickly comforted her: "Maybe Painter Qin hasn't thought about it yet. After all, men are different from women. They can find any excuse to excuse themselves."

"But Liu Ran's attitude toward him

So good, he should never betray Liu Ran. "

Xia Yechen didn't expect that just one explanation for Qin Zhou would trigger such a big reaction from Zhou Xiaoyuan. The resistance and indifference in her eyes made Xia Yechen feel at a loss for a moment.

"Xiaoyuan, listen to my explanation." Xia Yechen tried to hold Zhou Xiaoyuan's hand, but she dodged it in disgust.

"You don't need to explain." Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at her coldly, "I know what you men think. Since Qin Zhou refuses to accept Liu Ran, he is playing with Liu Ran's feelings."

"You are no exception. You must be dazzled by power and wealth and want to use me to get what you want."

Xia Yechen felt her heart bleeding. She knew that Zhou Xiaoyuan had a deep misunderstanding of Qin Zhou, but her words were like sharp thorns, piercing deeply into her heart.

"No, Xiaoyuan, you misunderstood." Xia Yechen shook his head painfully, "I am different from Qin Zhou. My feelings for you are sincere."

"Sincerity?" Zhou Xiaoyuan sneered, "How much is sincerity worth? Can it be used as food? Can it be used as clothing?"

Xia Yechen was speechless. She knew that Zhou Xiaoyuan could not understand her sincerity now. Perhaps only time would prove everything.

"Xiaoyuan, I know you have a deep misunderstanding of Qin Zhou. But have you ever thought about why he keeps delaying and refusing to accept Liu Ran?"

Xia Yechen looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan seriously, "I think he might have no money."

"No money?" Zhou Xiaoyuan was stunned. This reason was something she had never thought of.

"Yes." Xia Yechen nodded, "Think about it, Liu Ran is the daughter of the prime minister, her dowry must be generous. But Qinzhou is just a commoner.

How could he give Liu Ran a good life for the common people when he had no money or power? "
