However, Yuan Bohua really didn't have such thoughts. He had seen the ups and downs of life since he was a child and just wanted a warm home. In particular, he wanted to build a good home with Yue'er, rather than turning the palace into a place to sleep and settle lawsuits.

He had seen a lot in the emperor's harem, and he avoided other women like the venom of the snake. He didn't want the child to die, nor did he want to sleep with one eye open in his own palace.

Without a community of shared interests, who would he trust? Yuan Bohua felt that people had to learn to make choices. They couldn't have it all.

Lu Likun and Lu Yiyan next to him were stunned by Yuan Bohua's action. This nephew/cousin doesn't look like someone of high status?

After Yuan Bohua finished explaining, he didn't hear Zhou Qiongyue say anything. Zhou Qiongyue was still holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly, just like before.

Yuan Bohua could only turn around and say to his uncle and cousin, "The princess is in charge of the palace now, so I don't have any food. And I don't take concubines, let alone any concubines. Uncle, please find a good family for my cousin!"

He didn't believe that the Lu family would need to borrow grain from him when the drought had just begun. The jade pendant around his uncle's waist and the one on his cousin's head were both worth a lot of silver.

Lu Yiyan didn't think that her cousin really had no feelings for her. She thought it must be the bitch Zhou Qiongyue who didn't allow her cousin to take a concubine.

So she glared at Zhou Qiongyue, "Princess, do you know the seven grounds for divorce?"

Zhou Qiongyue instantly found it extremely funny. "What? Miss Lu wants to divorce me on behalf of your cousin?"

"My cousin doesn't care about a woman like you who takes advantage of her power to bully others..." Lu Yiyan felt that she was a hero who saved her cousin from danger.

This time, Lu Likun was really angry. What was the status of their Lu Mansion and Cheng'en Hou Mansion? If Zhou Qiongyue really wanted to kill them, even the prince could not protect them.

That’s why Lu Likun scolded Lu Yiyan in a particularly loud voice, “Yan’er, quickly apologize to the princess.”

"No need. From now on, Miss Lu and Nasa just don't come to my palace." As soon as Zhou Qiongyue said this, Gulan immediately went out to call people.

At this moment, Lu Yiyan was so angry that her rationality had gone away. Her face was full of anger, "Who do you think you are? My cousin hasn't even said anything yet."

Lu Yiyan wasn't a very smart person to begin with, but she relied on her cousin being a prince to brag about her and her cousin's deep affection. Of course, the young ladies from the smaller families around her would flatter her.

A person who is used to hearing flattery can easily forget their original position. It's not that Zhou Qiongyue is arrogant, but a daughter of a fifth-rank official is really nothing in her eyes.

Zhou Qiongyue was too lazy to waste time talking to such a person, and directly ordered people to throw Lu Yiyan out of the house.

After Zhou Qiongyue finished this task, she took her men away without even glancing at Yuan Bohua and Lu Likun.

Yuan Bohua originally wanted to chase after Zhou Qiongyue, but seeing his uncle in front of him who was stunned by the princess's series of actions, he could only sit down again.

Yuan Bohua didn't have time to bother with his uncles at this moment. He was waiting for his uncles to leave so that he could go and coax the princess!

"Uncle, come back if you have nothing to do!"

When Zhou Qiongyue was still here, Lu Likun hadn't been so angry. But now that Zhou Qiongyue had left with her people, Lu Likun felt like he was going to die of anger.

His daughter was thrown out of the palace like this. What good marriage would be waiting for her in the future? He could only insist that his daughter be a concubine to his nephew. "Hua'er, Yan'er grew up with you after all..."

"Uncle, I spent most of my childhood in the palace. May I ask how Miss Lu grew up with me? And what I just said was not a lie. I really don't like women who covet wealth and fame."

Yuan Bohua was almost pointing at Lu Likun and Lu Yiyan's noses and cursing them.

Of course Lu Likun was angry, but he really didn't dare to pick on Zhou Qiongyue. However, he could pick on his nephew. Anyway, even if he did something wrong, his nephew would not really care about him.

But Lu Likun had no plans to do anything in the palace. He was waiting for other opportunities.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Come to my house tomorrow and we'll have a nice drink. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Yan'er."

Seeing that his uncle said so, Yuan Bohua couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed, and asked the people around him to send his uncle out.

He did not send her off in person, but asked the servants about the princess's whereabouts and then went after her.

Zhou Qiongyue wasn't actually angry about Yuan Bohua's attitude. After all, everyone has a few bad romances! So after Yuan Bohua coaxed her, Zhou Qiongyue went down the stairs.

On the afternoon of the second day, Yuan Bohua went to Lu's residence as promised. Of course, Zhou Qiongyue did not go as he had told her.

Lu Likun and Yuan Bohua were chatting in the front yard about some of Yuan Bohua's mother's past. The atmosphere between the two was still very good. In general, Yuan Bohua, who valued family affection, had always been very good to his uncle.

Since the two of them were having a good chat, of course they would drink some wine and eat some snacks. However, the happier Yuan Bohua was at the moment, the more regretful he would feel when he sobered up.

That night, someone from the Lu Mansion reported the news to Zhou Qiongyue. It was a servant named Wang Wu who personally returned to the palace to report, "He said that the prince and Lord Lu talked late and went straight to rest at the Lu Mansion."

Because Wang Wu was one of Yuan Bohua's personal servants, Zhou Qiongyue believed it without any doubt.

The next day, before Zhou Qiongyue woke up, Gulan came hurriedly into the inner room, "Princess, wake up, Princess, something happened to the prince."

Zhou Qiongyue was originally quite sleepy, but when she heard the words "something happened to the prince", she immediately sat up and woke up instantly.

"What did you say? What happened to the prince?" Zhou Qiongyue asked very urgently.

"Someone from the Lu Mansion said that the prince wants to marry Miss Lu. Princess, you should go and take a look." Gulan reported the news she received truthfully, but she didn't believe that the prince would dare to take a concubine so soon.

In Gulan's opinion, even if the prince wanted to take a concubine, he would have to wait until their princess was pregnant.

When Zhou Qiongyue heard the news, it would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed, but she still wanted to go and see for herself. "Help me change clothes! Have them prepare and bring more people."

Gulan responded to Zhou Qiongyue's words while helping her wash up.

When Zhou Qiongyue arrived at Lu's house, Yuan Bohua had not yet gotten up. Zhou Qiongyue...

Zhou Qiongyue didn't care about a door, "Gu Mei kick the door!"

Gu Mei stepped forward and kicked, and then everyone in Lu's mansion looked at the collapsed door and took a half step back in shock.

At this moment, they all had a common thought: 'Princess Shuxian's temper is truly well-deserved.'
