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

Even though Xia Yechen deliberately protected Zhou Xiaoyuan and didn't want the emperor to notice her expression, they were still under the same roof.

Zhou Xiaoyuan's resentment was so deep that it was difficult for the emperor not to notice.

Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows for a moment, glanced at Xia Yechen before looking at Zhou Xiaoyuan, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that you have some objections to my decision."

The words were light and seemed to have no weight, but they made a tingle in the ears of Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Yechen.

In an instant, Zhou Xiaoyuan's attitude became cautious.

She pursed her lips. Xia Yechen wanted to help her out, but the emperor waved his hand as expected and said, "Ask her to say, I'm not a bad person. I'm also curious about what this girl is thinking - Don’t you think that as long as you reconcile with King Rong and Li, everything will be fine?”

The emperor changed the subject and asked Zhou Xiaoyuan, who was also stunned for a moment. She blinked and glanced at Xia Yechen before she dared to continue speaking, "...Isn't it okay for a female citizen to reconcile with His Highness?"

She looked very cautious, but what she said was no longer the same. The emperor laughed when he heard the sound, and the concubine next to her also softened her eyebrows.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was confused and didn't know what she said was wrong.

Fortunately, Xia Yechen also realized something. His eyes flickered, he turned to look at Zhou Xiaoyuan and said, "You don't want to be a princess, do you want to be an ordinary person?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded matter-of-factly. Seeing that the emperor and Concubine Shu didn't blame her for her behavior, she couldn't help but feel bolder.

Simply said directly: "What's wrong with ordinary people? I really can't learn these rules in the palace..."

Zhou Xiaoyuan spoke straightforwardly, but the emperor restrained his smile.

He nodded, and suddenly asked: "Then do you know where you should go according to the palace rules after you reconcile with King Rong?"

Hearing this tone, Zhou Xiaoyuan seemed a little nervous and shook her head to express that she didn't know.

After all, she didn't learn many rules, and she only knew a little bit about the palace news from her nanny.

So Zhou Xiaoyuan's reaction was not surprising to anyone else.

However, Concubine Shu could not help but look at her with a bit of pity. Seeing that neither father nor son spoke, Concubine Shu sighed softly and told softly: "Then I will talk to you."

"Since you have been with Ye Chen and are his married wife, then your status is different from ordinary people."

Zhou Xiaoyuan vaguely realized that this difference was probably not a good thing.

She hesitated and wanted to fight for it. Before she could say anything, she saw Xia Yechen shaking his head at her with a warning look in his eyes. Zhou Xiaoyuan could only choke back, but her expression was still tangled.

Seeing this, the emperor simply said, "My beloved concubine said so."

Concubine Shu nodded and continued, "You have only two options now. One is to listen to His Majesty, and go back to the house with Yechen now. We will discuss the matter of status later; as for the second one..."

Speaking of this, Concubine Shu's expression was obviously a little subtle, and Zhou Xiaoyuan was scratching her head, wanting to hear it but being afraid to hear it.

But the next moment, the bad premonition in her heart came true.

Although Concubine Shu's tone was still gentle, the words she spoke made Zhou Xiaoyuan's heart sink to the bottom. She opened her eyes wide and could hardly believe what she heard.

But Concubine Shu still continued with great certainty, "If you insist so much, you can only

I went to the temple to practice cultivation. "

Speaking of cultivation, isn't it just asking her to become a widow and become a monk?

Zhou Xiaoyuan's pupils were shocked, and she suddenly realized that this was not a modern society with human rights. It was a luxury to hope that she could cut off all relations with her husband's family after divorce.

The emperor's concubines must guard the mausoleum after the emperor's death or even be buried in sacrifice, and the same is true for the abandoned wives and concubines of the prince's son.

Even though Zhou Xiaoyuan resigned on her own initiative, she has no power behind her, so it is normal for the royal family not to let her go...

——It’s normal.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was so angry that she cursed in her heart. She never expected that the result would be like this. No wonder Zhao Wu subconsciously felt that she would become Princess Rong. It turned out that her other meaning was: If Zhou Xiaoyuan can't become Princess Rong, then she has to go Become a monk.

In this poor place, even if you are dissatisfied, you have nowhere to redress. After all, power is everything. She is a commoner orphan girl who only hopes to meet the emperor because of her reputation as Prince Rong. If she leaves Prince Rong, how can anyone care about her?

It was the first time that Zhou Xiaoyuan realized her current situation so clearly, which was simply a dilemma.

If I had known this... If I had known this, it would be better not to get to the bottom of it.

Thinking about it, Zhou Xiaoyuan regretted it to death, but now it was of no use even if her intestines turned green. Emperor Jinkouyu had already spoken, and even if she was dissatisfied, she could not disobey him.

After all, Xia Yechen had reminded her before that resisting the order was a serious crime of beheading, and it was useless even if Xia Yechen tried to protect her.

In desperation, Zhou Xiaoyuan naturally had nothing to say.

Seeing her silence, the emperor and Concubine Shu said no more. Apparently they knew that Zhou Xiaoyuan had compromised now, so they turned to talk to Xia Xiaoyuan again.

Yechen said a few words and asked them to leave the palace the next moment.

Xia Yechen naturally agreed. When he led Zhou Xiaoyuan out, he glanced at her from time to time, seeming a little worried.

Noticing his look, Zhou Xiaoyuan twitched the corner of her mouth.

She originally wanted to smile to appease him, but she was really not in a good mood at the moment, and she didn't even smile in the end.

Zhou Xiaoyuan could guess without looking in the mirror that her expression at the moment must be very ugly. Fortunately, she was leaving the palace now and the emperor was not in front of her, otherwise she would have been arrested and punished for her expression.

Making fun of herself in this way did not bring Zhou Xiaoyuan the relief she imagined. She was still in a heavy mood.

It seems that since she and Xia Yechen revealed their identity, her future has been out of control like a wild horse running wild.

Everything is heading towards the unpredictable.

This was really not good news for Zhou Xiaoyuan, who was used to making future plans for herself. She couldn't help but ask in her heart.

——Is it possible that once she traveled through time and relived her life, she would end up trapped in intrigues in the back house and palace, forced to survive? But in Zhou Xiaoyuan's opinion, these things are a complete waste of time.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was so confused that she really couldn't feel happy.

This made Xia Yechen take the initiative to talk to her, but looking at her unfavorable expression, the man hesitated for a moment. After all, he still didn't want to get in trouble with Zhou Xiaoyuan at the cusp of the storm.

He retreated consciously and even hugged Nini, who had always been obedient and dared not speak, and talked to her patiently.

It took a while before Zhou Xiaoyuan noticed the voices of the father and daughter.

Obviously, these two people seem to be secretly plotting

He was rowing something and glanced at her from time to time. He found that Zhou Xiaoyuan looked over and then left his sight voluntarily.
