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

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't know what Zhao Wu was worried about, but she had already thought about it.

If she could refuse and escape, she would have run far away.

The current situation can only mean that she has done the hard work she should do. When there is only one result left, it doesn't matter whether she is afraid or not. All she has to do is accept it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoyuan could only shake her head, changed the subject, and said, "Okay, don't think about these things."

"After all, he is my husband. There will always be a chance."

These words sounded familiar, and Mrs. Zhao Wu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, remembering that she had comforted Zhou Xiaoyuan in this way before, but now... that's all, it's okay not to say it.

Zhao Wu knew that she couldn't give Zhou Xiaoyuan any ideas, so she could only nod helplessly and followed her words to pick up the dishes.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was still very difficult to explain the state of mind. Fortunately, Zhao Wu didn't ask any more questions. Just thinking of Xia Yechen who was not here made Zhou Xiaoyuan feel inexplicably uneasy.

Concubine Shu called Xia Yechen away at this time, saying that she was just catching up on old times, but no one would believe her.

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't think that what was happening in front of the Su Mansion could be hidden from her.

But now that things had happened, she was a little curious about what the empress could do.

She seemed to be a good mother who loved her son, but she also had the arrogance and nobility unique to the upper class. She couldn't stand being around Xia Yechen, so doing nothing would be a disgrace to her status.

Zhou Xiaoyuan lowered her eyes, thinking thoughtfully but not too panicked. There were only soldiers on the left and right to cover up the water and earth.

I won't pay it back again

There was Xia Yechen, who could be regarded as her husband after all. Even if she really wanted to behead her, she couldn't do it for the above-mentioned unseemly reasons, so the final result still had to depend on what Zhou Xiaoyuan could do.

After thinking about this, Zhou Xiaoyuan felt much more relaxed. She was not afraid of shadows, even if it was a false accusation, she had to have a basis for it.

However, as Zhou Xiaoyuan worried, Xia Yechen was really having a hard time here.

After receiving the cakes last night, Xia Yechen planned to strike while the iron was hot and have breakfast with Zhou Xiaoyuan the next day. He had even thought about what to say to start the meeting, had already given him breakfast, and even prepared for the morning meeting that day. It would be wise not to stay any longer after going to court, and to meet Zhou Xiaoyuan earlier.

But he didn't expect that all the preparations could not withstand the unexpected changes from the sky. Xia Yechen walked out on time. Just as he was about to return home, a palace maid blocked his way. She didn't hesitate but spoke respectfully.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, stay."

Xia Yechen frowned and raised his eyes slightly to realize that this person looked familiar. Before he could ask in detail, the palace maid had already taken the initiative to report to the family.

"Your Highness, this servant is from Concubine Shu's palace. I haven't seen your Highness for a long time, and I miss you very much, so I sent your servant here to invite Your Highness to come and get together."

This is a bit subtle, what are you gathering for at this time?

Xia Yechen's frown never relaxed. He was not surprised by Concubine Shu's invitation, but at the moment, he only thought about the unfinished breakfast.

Looking at it like this, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to make it back in time for the breakfast in Zhou Xiaoyuan's room. Xia Yechen felt a little regretful, but he couldn't refuse.

Not to mention that filial piety is the most important thing and cannot be refused. It is difficult to just talk about the harem.

Taking care of the affairs of the previous court, if this palace maid could stop him openly and openly in this place, I am afraid she has the emperor's tacit approval.

With the emperor's factor, Xia Yechen had no reason to refuse. He didn't show it on his face and hid his regret in his heart. He said directly: "Then lead the way. I also want to meet my mother and concubine."

It would be best for Xia Yechen to cooperate. The palace maid nodded and walked to the middle. It didn't take long before she saw Concubine Shu waiting in the hall.

Concubine Shu obviously didn't expect him to come so quickly. She came up to him with joy and showed concern when she opened her mouth.

This behavior was not done once or twice. Facing her long-lost son, it was reasonable for Concubine Shu to be enthusiastic, but from another perspective, Xia Yechen was not used to it.

He was flattered and stood there stiffly for a while, unable to even reply.

In the end, Concubine Shu saw that he was almost standing like a sculpture, so she took a step back sadly, sighed and said, "Yechen and Concubine are still estranged after all, it's all Concubine's fault..."

After saying this, Xia Yechen didn't dare to reply. He coughed lightly and first greeted Concubine Shu.

Then he said: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine. My son is living a good life these days, and no one dares to bully me. It's much better than outside the palace. Concubine, I really don't have to worry about me."

Xia Yechen's words were serious, and they were barely consoling, but Concubine Shu heard the politeness in his tone that could not be concealed.

He became increasingly lonely and looked very sad.

Xia Yechen was not used to dealing with this unexpected birth mother, and now she was even more embarrassed. After a while, he said bluntly: "My mother suddenly called me here. I don't know."

What's the matter? "

"Can't I call you if nothing happens?" Concubine Shu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and scolded.

"Of course not, it's just..."

Xia Yechen hesitated to speak, thinking for a moment but still did not speak. As expected, Concubine Shu took it on her own in the next moment.

"Ye Chen, you and I are a mother and a son. We broke off a little bit of fate and finally got it back together. You must not listen to other people's slander and become separated from your mother."

"Of course not." Xia Yechen replied bravely, but his heart became more and more weird. He also knew that Concubine Shu loved his children.

It's just that in the royal family, it's hard to tell how many things this love can be mixed with. With the Zhao family's adoptive mother's lessons learned, Xia Yechen still felt a little bit of resistance to this so-called mother-child relationship, and even didn't even know it. Willing to accept.

Concubine Shu was also a human spirit, and she could see this clearly, but she didn't mind that much. It didn't matter how much Xia Yechen cared about her as a mother.

The important thing is that they are related by blood and are bound together by nature. As long as Xia Yechen is still King Rong, it is impossible to ignore her.

So Concubine Shu quickly adjusted her expression, pulled Xia Yechen over, and said hesitantly:

"How are you getting along with Miss Zhou now?"

Sure enough, this was what happened. Xia Yechen had already expected it. Seeing that Concubine Shu was no longer playing the relative card, he was finally relieved. However, he was still a little dissatisfied with Concubine Shu's name for Zhou Xiaoyuan.

It's just such a small detail that it wouldn't be embarrassing to tell. Xia Yechen thought for a while and said:

"We have been married for many years. Although we have differences, we are still husband and wife."

The implication is that if we get along very well, we don’t need to

Worried, Concubine Shu understood what she was saying, but her expression was visibly worse.
