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

Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then she covered her lips and smiled softly, "I have already said that the child is a good girl, but it is a pity that her background has hindered her, otherwise she will be a good daughter-in-law who cannot be found even with a lantern."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded, but only repeated: "It's a pity that my background hinders me."

Hearing this, Concubine Shu understood. She knew that the emperor still couldn't let go of this grudge. She was thoughtful and thinking about how to make the emperor change his mind. The nun on the other end came over and informed: "Your Majesty, empress, Miss Zhou arrive."

A smile broke out on Concubine Shu's face, and she said please come in quickly. The emperor's face had no expression yet, but he looked expectant. When Zhou Xiaoyuan came in, she noticed the subtle atmosphere.

She bowed and stood there politely, wondering when she would be able to sit down.

Fortunately, the emperor did not embarrass her too much, and soon asked thoughtfully: "I heard that you went out of the palace to see Nini? How is my little granddaughter doing?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan was stunned, but she didn't expect that the emperor would call Nini so affectionately. After thinking about it carefully, she understood.

The royal family has few heirs, and Nini is the only grandchild, so it is normal for her to be fond of her.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoyuan relaxed physically and mentally.

When talking about her daughter, an old mother couldn't help herself. She praised Nini gushingly and told many interesting things about the little girl when she was a child, which made the emperor laugh.

The atmosphere soon became much more relaxed. The emperor clapped his hands and rewarded Zhou Xiaoyuan with many things. His joy was beyond words.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu rolled her eyes and put a smile on her face.

On the other hand, he said: "I finally understand why you are still thinking about me in the palace.

I miss Nini so much. Who could see such a lovely little girl and not miss her heartily? His Majesty said, yes or no? "

How could the emperor not know that Concubine Shu was nodding to him? He smiled and nodded along with Concubine Shu's words. Concubine Shu became more and more happy and proactively suggested:

"Speaking of which, Yechen was always trying to push back and said that the little girl wouldn't be able to adapt. I've never met Nini even a few times."

"His Majesty happens to be here today, so I would like to ask for a favor for Xiaoyuan - how about letting Nini come into the palace too?"

Concubine Shu's timing was just right. The emperor was already happy and in high spirits. When he heard this, he immediately agreed. Zhou Xiaoyuan was also happy when she heard the words and almost forgot about some of her troubles.

She hurriedly blessed her body and thanked her for her kindness. Concubine Shu and the emperor couldn't help but look at each other when they saw Zhou Xiaoyuan's well-behaved appearance.

Probably only they themselves know what it means.

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't pay much attention and continued following Concubine Shu's words. After a while, Concubine Shu found an excuse for her and left first.

She originally thought that it would be easier to go back to the side hall, but Zhou Xiaoyuan overestimated herself. Before she could do anything else, those troublesome things came to mind again, and she was confused for a while.

I don’t know if Xia Yechen has found Princess Jialun. After one night, have things gotten worse or relaxed?

Xia Yechen sent no news to the palace, and Zhou Xiaoyuan knew nothing about it.

The more she thought about it, the more worried Zhou Xiaoyuan became.

At the same time, as Zhou Xiaoyuan had guessed, Xia Yechen didn't have any information in Prince Rong's palace, and he couldn't even find Princess Jialun's whereabouts using the methods he used before.

His men were extremely busy, and Xia Yechen couldn't figure out what the person who kidnapped Princess Jialun was thinking.

I originally thought he was forced by money, but after waiting for so long, Xia Yechen got no news at all. It didn't look like he was being coerced for money, but what could he do if he didn't want money? To be honest, Princess Jialun was just a little arrogant and domineering, so she probably had never made any enemies.

Thinking about it carefully, Xia Yechen still had no clue. He had no choice but to send more people out of thin air to search for Princess Jialun's whereabouts more carefully and secretly than before.

After all, Zhou Xiaoyuan has returned to the palace now. If the news of Princess Jialun's disappearance breaks out at this time, things will not tolerate optimism.

But at the same time, Xia Yechen was also very happy.

Princess Jialun was arrogant and doted on by the emperor, so it was completely normal for her to suddenly disappear for a day or two.

Because of this, Xia Yechen had already guessed that her disappearance would not be discovered so easily, so he specifically asked Zhou Xiaoyuan to return to the palace first and pretend that nothing happened to eliminate the suspicion.

But if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime. This kind of thing can't be suppressed, and Xia Yechen becomes more and more anxious.

Xia Yechen didn't realize at this time that the battle for the right to inherit the throne had already begun due to Prince Jing's calculations.

The more anxious they were to find Princess Jialun, the louder Prince Jing laughed from behind. Even though he was almost discovered before, Prince Jing's reaction speed was also very fast. After all, Xia Yechen did not put any suspicion on Prince Jing's head. , naturally it is impossible to think that he would make such a cruel trick.

Kidnapping Princess Jialun, who is still her sister in name only, to seduce Xia Yechen is something that probably no one would want except Prince Jing himself.

Not coming out, but he was quite proud of himself.

After listening to his subordinates' description of Xia Yechen's embarrassment in searching for Princess Jialun, Prince Jing felt relieved both physically and mentally.

After feeling complacent for a while, he remembered another thing and couldn't help but look a little more serious, "There must be no problem on Jialun's end, but... how did Xia Yechen and the others find their location at that time?"

The counselor then reported: "I heard that a group of beggars accidentally witnessed the whereabouts of your guards."

Upon hearing this, Prince Jing's face suddenly turned green, and he cursed sullenly: "A bunch of trash! They can't even do this well, and people find out! Next time something like this happens, I'll kill them without mercy."

Prince Jing spit out those four words with ease, as if what behind them represented not a human life, but a head of fluttering cotton.

The counselor shuddered, but he could only follow King Jing's words and continue: "Your Highness is really decisive in killing."

Prince Jing waved his hand, but did not notice the strangeness he had just seen.

Instead, he continued to ask: "How is Jia Lun doing there? I heard before that she had thoughts of escaping from prison? Is she still at peace now?"

This time the person who answered King Jing was not a counselor, but another person. He truthfully reported the scene where Princess Jialun tried to escape temporarily but was caught back. After hearing this, King Jing's face became even more ugly.

He was not a soft-hearted person, so he quickly came to the conclusion: "It seems that he has never suffered."

"My sister is spoiled by my father. It's normal to be ignorant of the world. I have no intention of teaching her rules. The same goes for you - there is no need to be polite to her. If she refuses to cooperate, just knock her out and leave a mouthful.

Qi will be enough. "

Having said this, even the people next to him were a little frightened, "But... that is Princess Jialun after all -"
