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

Xia Jinwei heard what the queen meant, and she knew that the queen was referring to Zhou Xiaoyuan. She asked nervously: "Mother, what do you mean..."

"What I mean is that Xia Yechen married Zhou Xiaoyuan, which is really a wrong decision." The queen said bluntly, "Zhou Xiaoyuan comes from a humble background and does not have a prominent family background. She is not worthy of Xia Yechen at all."

After hearing this, Xia Jinwei immediately defended Zhou Xiaoyuan and said: "Mother, in fact, Zhou Xiaoyuan is not as simple as she seems.

She has a smart mind and unique vision, and is also very decisive and courageous in handling things. Moreover, she was also sincere towards Xia Yechen. "

"Sincerely?" The queen sneered, "How do you know she is sincere to Xia Yechen? Maybe she is just using Xia Yechen."

"Mother, you can't say that." Xia Jinwei said hurriedly, "Zhou Xiaoyuan is not that kind of person. She treats Xia Yechen sincerely, and her abilities cannot be underestimated."

The queen looked at Xia Jinwei's firm eyes and couldn't help but feel a little confused. She didn't know if Xia Jinwei was really bribed by Zhou Xiaoyuan or if she was trying to say good things for her.

The queen suddenly asked: "Do you know any women in the court who are like Zhou Xiaoyuan?"

Xia Jinwei was stunned by the question. She didn't understand why the queen suddenly asked this. She thought about it carefully, then shook her head.

"Have there been any similar rumors?" the queen asked again.

Xia Jinwei thought for a while and shook her head. She had some doubts in her heart and didn't understand why the Queen was suddenly interested in this issue.

The queen didn't seem to intend to continue asking, she pondered for a moment.

After that, Xia Jinwei was left to prepare for the wedding with peace of mind.

After Xia Jinwei left, she was still a little confused. She didn't understand why the Queen was interested in this issue, and it seemed that she had other intentions.

So, she decided to ask Xia Yechen about this question to see if he could give some answers.

Xia Yechen was also a little surprised after hearing this question. He thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure why the Queen suddenly asked this question."

Xia Jinwei frowned slightly and said, "I think the Queen may want to test you through this question."

"Test me?" Xia Yechen asked with some confusion.

"Yes." Xia Jinwei nodded, "The queen may have seen your great potential, so she wants to seek your cooperation."

"Cooperate?" Xia Yechen asked with some confusion, "Cooperate with the women in the DPRK?"

"No." Xia Jinwei shook her head, "The queen may want to control some forces in the court through you, so she asked this question."

Xia Yechen couldn't help but feel a little shocked after hearing this. He did not expect that this issue would involve the power struggle between the DPRK and China.

He took a deep breath and said, "Do you mean, the queen wants me to be her pawn?"

"It's possible." Xia Jinwei nodded and said, "But don't worry too much. As long as you maintain your position and principles and are not easily taken advantage of, there shouldn't be any big problems."

Xia Yechen nodded silently, and he understood this in his heart. However, he also knows that in the power struggle

In the process, many people will be obsessed with profit and lose their original intention and principles.

He doesn't want to be that person, but he also knows that when facing power and interests, he must maintain a clear mind and firm willpower.

The queen suddenly summoned Xia Yechen into the palace, which made Xia Yechen a little confused. In the palace, he and the queen sat opposite each other, waiting for the other party to speak.

"I know you are talented and ambitious." The Queen looked at Xia Yechen and said, "But you are not my biological mother, and I cannot directly promote you."

Xia Yechen's heart sank, and he understood what the queen meant. He was born to Concubine Shu, not a prince from the Queen.

Although he also wanted to sit on the throne, he never thought about being an enemy of his biological mother.

"I know what you are thinking." Xia Yechen said calmly, "But my relationship with Empress Shufei is not good, and I don't want her to be an obstacle to me."

A trace of disappointment flashed in the queen's eyes. She knew that Xia Yechen was not an easy person to control. But she did not give up, she continued: "I can work with you to make you the next emperor."

Xia Yechen was shocked. He looked at the queen and said, "What do you mean?"

"I can help you get more power and resources and make you the most powerful prince." A hint of cunning flashed in the queen's eyes, "But you also need to do something for me."

Xia Yechen knew in his heart that the queen just wanted to use him. He doesn't have any special ideas, he just wants to do his own thing well and doesn't want to be taken advantage of by others.

"I don't want to be the emperor." Xia Yechen said lightly, "I don't want to be the emperor either."

work with you. "

A flash of anger flashed in the queen's eyes. She knew that Xia Yechen was not someone who could be easily persuaded.

After a moment of silence, she said, "You can go back and think about it carefully. If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."

Xia Yechen nodded slightly and left the palace. He knew that the queen just wanted to use him, but he didn't care.

Xia Yechen was not interested in the queen's proposal, saying that he only wanted to show off and did not want to participate in the fight for the throne.

After hearing this, the queen asked angrily: "Why don't you have such great ambitions? You are obviously capable of competing for the throne."

Xia Yechen lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly raised his head, looked at the queen and said, "I don't want to become the emperor, because I just want revenge."

The queen was stunned and asked with some confusion: "Retaliation? Who do you want to take revenge on?"

"My biological mother." Xia Yechen's tone revealed a trace of hatred, "She has done many excessive things to me, which I have never been able to let go of."

"I just want her to pay and know that what she did was wrong."

The queen frowned slightly after hearing this. She didn't know what Xia Yechen's biological mother had done to him, but she could feel the anger and dissatisfaction in Xia Yechen's heart.

She asked with some confusion: "Why have you never mentioned these things to me?"

"Because I don't want others to know about my past." Xia Yechen's tone revealed a hint of helplessness, "I am the only one who knows these things, and I don't want others to sympathize with me or pity me."

The queen was silent for a moment, and then said:

"I understand your thoughts. However, it is not easy for you to take revenge on your biological mother."

"You need to have enough power and resources to be able to implement your plan."
