Du Wanchun was slightly startled. She had suspected that the Zhou family was unusual before, but she just thought they were a wealthy family in Beijing. She never thought they would have anything to do with the royal family. Zhou Ruiyuan continued, "My mother and the current emperor were young couples, but unfortunately the emperor fell in love with the new concubine Wu, so he ignored my mother and believed in slander and executed my grandfather's family. He also exiled the four of us to a desolate place."

"We were chased and killed on the way to exile. Some were injured and some were maimed. Later, it was by chance that my mother took the identity of the Chen family's married daughter and brought us to Changliu Village."

"We originally thought that we would live a stable life in Changliu Village, but we didn't expect that Concubine Wu would press us step by step and didn't want to leave us a way out."

He briefly explained the whole story.

Although it was a bit different from what Du Wanchun guessed, she quickly figured out everything. It was no secret in the entire Xuanyue Kingdom that the queen's family was killed and the prince was deposed.

Du Wanchun looked up at him, her eyes full of pity, "So, you are the deposed prince?"

Zhou Ruiyuan paused, then nodded.

Du Wanchun's pupils shrank slightly, quite shocked.

Although she was stupid before, she had heard rumors about this prince.

In the rumors, he was called the reincarnation of the immortal king by the Imperial Observatory since he was born, and he would definitely be a rare emperor in the future.

The emperor was very happy to hear this and directly made him the prince.

The prince was gifted since he was a child. He could write poems at the age of three, paint at the age of five, and ride horses and shoot arrows after the age of ten.

He can be said to be a natural emperor with both civil and military skills.

However, such a noble person actually lived in this broken mud house and ate bran and vegetables.

It was so unbelievable that even the storyteller did not dare to say so.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Du Wanchun was very moved. How did their family go from being wealthy and doing nothing to being able to grow vegetables, dig the ground, and chop wood?

No one knows the hardships involved.

Du Wanchun slowly came back to her senses from her surprise. Since she knew she wanted to know, she didn't continue to make trouble. She reached out and gently held his arms around her. She put away all her anger and said softly, "Husband, it's getting late. Let's rest early."

Zhou Ruiyuan listened to the gentle whispers in his ears, raised his long eyelashes and looked at her profile. The panic in his eyes gradually disappeared, and a layer of water color appeared, which was the deep affection Du Wanchun had seen for the first time.

When Du Wanchun reacted, Zhou Ruiyuan's lips had already landed on her lips.

It was just a kiss like a dragonfly touching the water. After a brief touch, Du Wanchun fell into a warm embrace with her feet suspended in the air. Her face was pressed against Zhou Ruiyuan's chest, and her heart was beating.

Zhou Ruiyuan hugged her around the waist and turned around and walked towards the big bed behind him step by step, "My wife, come with me today."

Du Wanchun buried her face in his arms and nodded.

Zhou Ruiyuan slowly put her on the bed and bent down to take off the quilt on the bed.

Du Wanchun half-lying on the bed, supporting the bed with her elbows, lowering her eyes and not daring to look at him, "My husband, didn't you say you would wait until after the provincial examination?"

The dark yellow oil lamp in the room swayed gently with the breeze.

Zhou Ruiyuan sat beside her against the light, holding her hot cheek, slightly lifting her chin, and said in a hoarse voice: "Can't wait."

The low and gentle voice sounded in Du Wanchun's ears. She was slightly startled. When she raised her eyes, Zhou Ruiyuan's kiss happened to fall.

It was different from the sudden kiss in the alley today and the light kiss just now.

Zhou Ruiyuan was like a wolf out of control, and his possessive kiss invaded all the softness between her lips and teeth.

Du Wanchun gradually felt her breathing quicken, but at a certain moment she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.

This feeling made her happy, and she kissed him back unconsciously.

Zhou Ruiyuan, who had received the response, seemed to be encouraged, and became more and more unbridled. He stretched out his hand to support Du Wanchun's back and hugged her tightly.

The moonlight outside the window slowly shone in.

The couple finally welcomed their first frank embrace.
