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

Xia Jinwei opened the gift box in her hand with a smile and showed the gifts inside to Zhou Xiaoyuan one by one.

Among them is a valuable thousand-year-old ginseng and a box of carefully selected bird's nests. Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Xia Jinwei, you are so generous."

Xia Jinwei smiled and said softly: "Actually, these are not my intentions."

She paused and then said: "This is the wish of the Queen and the Emperor. They couldn't come over, so they asked me to bring it with them."

After Zhou Xiaoyuan heard this, she understood. She knew that the Queen and the Emperor had always paid close attention to Xia Jinwei and Ji Yan's affairs, and had always supported them behind the scenes.

She felt a little distressed when she looked at Xia Jinwei's appearance. She knew that Xia Jinwei had paid a lot for Ji Yan, but now it seemed that Ji Yan never responded to her, which made her very anxious.

Xia Jinwei sighed, looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan and said, "I don't know what to do." She smiled bitterly and said, "I have tried my best, but he never responded to me."

Zhou Xiaoyuan thought about it and finally came up with a plan. She decided to ask Qin Zhou for help and let him show that he was interested in Xia Jinwei to arouse Ji Yan's jealousy.

Qin Zhou was a scholar who was appreciated by Zhou Xiaoyuan for his outstanding literary talent. He had previously painted a painting for Xia Jinwei and Ji Yan, which allowed the relationship between them to sprout.

Zhou Xiaoyuan believes that if Qin Zhou can help her again and show interest in Xia Jinwei, Ji Yan will definitely feel jealous.

Zhou Xiaoyuan found Qin Zhou and said straight to the point: "Qin Zhou, I want you to do me a favor."

Looking at Zhou Xiaoyuan with some doubts, "Madam, please tell me."

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked around and made sure there was no one before whispering: "I hope you can show that you are interested in Xia Jinwei and let Ji Yan see it."

Qin Zhou was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhou Xiaoyuan's appearance, hesitating in his heart. He didn't know if it was appropriate to do so, but seeing Zhou Xiaoyuan's expectant eyes, he nodded anyway.

Seeing that Qin Zhou agreed, Zhou Xiaoyuan continued: "I will give you a lot of money as a reward."

Qin Zhou quickly waved his hand and said, "Madam, there is no need to give me money. The reason why I help is entirely out of gratitude to Madam."

"Madam saved my life before, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay her. Now I have this opportunity, and I feel very honored."

Zhou Xiaoyuan glanced at Qin Zhou and secretly sighed at his kindness. She nodded and said, "In that case, thank you."

Qin Zhou smiled and then said: "I will try my best to help Madam and make the relationship between Xia Jinwei and Ji Yan deeper."

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded with satisfaction. She knew that Qin Zhou had superb painting skills and would be able to complete the task well.

She looked at Qin Zhou's appearance with some emotion in her heart. Although this scholar was born into a poor family, his qualities are commendable.

Under Zhou Xiaoyuan's arrangement, Qin Zhou began to deliberately show his interest in Xia Jinwei in front of Ji Yan.

He and Xia Jinwei got very close, chatting and laughing, and even drew a picture for her. Ji Yan saw these actions and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Xia Jinwei also noticed Qin Zhou's changes, but she didn't think much about it. She is right about Zhou

Xiaoyuan didn't hold much hope for this strategy, and felt that doing so would only make Ji Yan further away from her.

She said helplessly: "Is this really useful?"

But Zhou Xiaoyuan insisted, "If Ji Yan is interested in you, he will never remain indifferent."

Xia Jinwei thought about it and felt that Zhou Xiaoyuan's words made sense. She decided to try it again to see if it worked.

As time passed, Qin Zhou's actions made Ji Yan's mood become more and more complicated. When he saw Qin Zhou and Xia Jinwei chatting happily, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

He began to approach Xia Jinwei, chat with her, and give her some small gifts. These actions surprised Xia Jinwei, but she did not reject Ji Yan's kindness.

In the process, Qin Zhou also discovered that his painting talent was recognized by many people.

He began experimenting with painting for himself and others, and gradually became an acclaimed painter. He also gained a lot of friendship and happiness in the process.

Xia Yechen is Xia Jinwei's brother and has always been concerned about her love life. When he saw Qin Zhou and Xia Jinwei walking very close, he felt a little dissatisfied.

He felt that this Qin Zhou was not a good person and was not suitable to be with Xia Jinwei. He decided to find an opportunity to talk to Zhou Xiaoyuan and ask her to stay away from Qin Zhou.

One night, Xia Yechen found Zhou Xiaoyuan and asked, "Why are you so close to this Qinzhou again?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Xia Yechen's look, feeling a little funny in her heart. She knew that Xia Yechen was concerned about her and Xia Jinwei's love life, but she didn't want him to worry too much.

She explained: "I just cooperated with Qin Zhou on some things.

There are other relationships. "

Xia Yechen looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan's look and knew that she was perfunctory with him. He said angrily: "I don't care what the relationship is between you, I just know that I don't want to see you together."

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Xia Yechen's appearance and felt helpless. She knew that Xia Yechen said this out of concern for her, but she couldn't let him worry too much.

She thought for a while and said, "I know, I will pay attention."

At this moment, Ji Yan suddenly walked over. He felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Xia Yechen's words. He looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Yechen and left without saying anything.

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Xia Jinwei subconsciously and saw her looking lonely and hanging her head in embarrassment.

Zhou Xiaoyuan knew that Xia Jinwei had deep feelings for Ji Yan, and seeing her like this, she couldn't help but feel worried.

She walked over, patted Xia Jinwei's shoulder gently, and comforted: "Jinwei, don't give up, you still have a chance."

Xia Jinwei raised her head, with some tears in her eyes. She smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe you are right, I should give up."

Zhou Xiaoyuan knew that Xia Jinwei was in great pain, and she didn't want to see her like this. She thought for a while and said, "Jinwei, some things are destined."

"If you really like Ji Yan, then don't give up. Maybe he hasn't realized his feelings yet, but it doesn't mean he doesn't like you."

After hearing Zhou Xiaoyuan's words, Xia Jinwei's eyes flashed with light. She knew what Zhou Xiaoyuan said was right, but she also understood that her situation was not easy.

She took a deep breath and tried

He cheered up and smiled at Zhou Xiaoyuan.

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt very relieved when she saw Xia Jinwei's appearance. She knew that Xia Jinwei was a strong person, and as long as she could cheer up, she would be able to overcome the difficulties in front of her.

She patted Xia Jinwei's hand and said, "I believe you can do it."
