Zhou Qiongyue stepped forward to help Yuan Chaokang pat his wrinkled clothes. "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. Your father is very good to you. Whenever he has good things, he brings them back to the palace to keep for you."

Yuan Bohua laughed and refuted Zhou Qiongyue's words, "What are you talking about! That was all earned by me for my princess. As for these two brats, go and earn what they like in the future."

"Your Majesty is right. Mother doesn't have to save it for me and my brother. We will give you everything we earn in the future." After saying this, Yuan Chaochang looked at Yuan Chaokang, signaling his brother to express his opinion as well.

Yuan Chaokang saw his brother's eyes and leaned against his brother Yuan Chaochang and said, "Brother is right. Mother, don't worry about us two brothers."

Zhou Qiongyue didn't pour cold water on the three of them, "Okay, I'll wait to enjoy the blessings of you three from now on."

Brothers Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang both nodded solemnly, but they were thinking different things at this moment.

Yuan Chaochang thought about studying hard after his death and bringing honor to his mother, while Yuan Chaokang thought about staying by his mother's side.

This shows the difference in life plans between Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang.

Afterwards, Yuan Chaokang held the imperial edict, and Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue led the way, and placed the imperial edict directly in front of the ancestral tablet.

This was not the first time that Yuan Chaokang came to this ancestral hall. During the New Year and other festivals, no matter whether his father was in the palace or not, his mother would bring him and his brother to pay homage.

No matter how many times he comes here, Yuan Chaokang is always shocked when he looks at these tablets.

Yuan Chaokang respectfully placed the imperial edict in front of the tablets and burned incense. Afterwards, Yuan Bohua chattered a little more to the tablets.

In fact, Yuan Bohua didn’t know much about these people. He just heard about them from others or read some descriptions of them by others.

Zhou Qiongyue looked at the tablet of Yuan Bohua's uncle. It was said that Yuan Bohua was rescued from his uncle by the retired emperor.

I have to say that Zhou Qiongyue admires such people very much.

Yuan Chaokang obviously knew the story between this great grandfather and his own father. He thought seriously for a while and said, "I will have more children in the future and find a promising one to be my great grandfather's successor!"

Yuan Chaokang was unwilling to become the descendant of his great-grandfather. It wasn't that he thought his great-grandfather was bad, but he was reluctant to leave his mother. No matter how much affection they had for each other, they couldn't be separated.

But if it was his son, Yuan Chaokang didn't care. No one who had been an emperor had ever thought that he would have only one wife, let alone only one son.

As for the possibility of separating mothers and children, Yuan Chaokang felt that with so many children, there would always be someone willing to take the child. As long as he provided enough resources, there would definitely be plenty of people willing to take the child.

As for his father, Yuan Chaokang certainly didn't want his mother to be sad, so don't blame him for being ruthless when the time comes. After all, in a few years, he and his elder brother would be grown up and able to take on the responsibility on their own.

By then, there will be many ways to make a man pretend for a lifetime!

If Yuan Bohua knew that Yuan Chaokang, this unfilial son, was thinking in front of the ancestral tablets about how to deal with him if he took a concubine, Yuan Bohua would probably kick this unfilial son out immediately.

Yuan Bohua, who didn't know what Yuan Chaokang was thinking at the moment, was still happy when he heard his youngest son say this.

In fact, Yuan Bohua had thought about giving Yuan Chaokang to his great uncle's lineage before, but he only had these two sons, and regardless of what the princess thought, he himself was reluctant to do so.

Besides, when Yuan Chaokang grows up, he will have his own ideas. Yuan Bohua completely gave up this idea.

It's better if this kind of thing is consensual.

Hearing his son say this, he was still happy. No matter what, his uncle had protected him, and he still wanted his lineage to have a powerful person to continue.

"Well, your father's love for you over the years has not been in vain." After praising his son, Yuan Bohua turned around and looked at the tablets. At this moment, he wished he could have a drink with them in front of the ancestors.

"Uncle, you heard me, didn't you? Your lineage will never be broken. If the next generation is a little stupid, don't get angry. Just like you protected your nephew back then, protect that child a little more, and things will get better over time."

While Yuan Bohua was happy, he did not forget to ask for blessings from his junior who was somewhere unknown.

Yuan Bohua has always felt that if there really is merit and blessing in the world, then those who sacrificed their lives for the country are the strongest backers.

Especially when he saw his youngest son getting healthier every year, he believed it even more.

Zhou Qiongyue just smiled and said nothing. As long as her son didn't adopt her, it was fine. As for her grandson, she didn't care too much.

Maybe this is also a bright future for some lucky person! She should not be so self-righteous.

The entire Fu'an Palace was a scene of beauty, and all the nobles of Yuan'an were stunned. This emperor's cousin was so valuable!

The emperor had only been on the throne for a short time when he gave his cousin's son the title of a prince for free. It is said that when Princess Fu'an got married, the emperor personally carried her out of the house.

With this kind of treatment, they can walk sideways in Yuan'an. If they had known earlier, they could have fought for it! They can only blame Prince Fu'an for being too quick to act.

Zhou Qiongyue: I am not an unreasonable person, why should I act so arrogantly in Yuan'an?

As for why the emperor fulfilled his promise so readily this time, it was because he saw the real silver!

No matter how nice the words were, they weren't as shocking as seeing so much money right in front of her. There was no way my cousin, the God of Wealth, would let her go back home to fish and retire.

In the past, Li Jingchen was terrified that Shenggan would start a war, but now he wished he could lead the army himself. This was the confidence brought by silver and food.

So this time is the time to let his cousin see his sincerity.

Yuan Chaokang's title of Prince was a happy event for Prince Fu'an's Mansion, but Prince Fu'an's Mansion did not hold any banquet.

Having two titles in one family is already quite eye-catching, so they should keep a low profile!

Shortly after Yuan Chaokang was conferred the title of Prince, Yuan Bohua returned to the military camp and resumed his one-month rest schedule.

There was no change in Yuan Chaokang's life, but he felt that his mother's eyes were getting hotter and hotter when she looked at him calculating the accounts, and he couldn't tell why.

That day, Yuan Chaokang helped Zhou Qiongyue finish reading the newly delivered account book, and Zhou Qiongyue became more eager to teach her son how to do business.

However, Zhou Qiongyue felt that what she thought was not important. What was important was what her son Yuan Chaokang thought. After all, in this era, discrimination between "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans" was still quite serious.

Since Zhou Qiongyue wanted to know what her son was thinking, she asked directly, "Kang'er, do you want to learn how to do business from your mother?"
