The emperor said so. No matter what Yuan Bohua thought in his heart, he had to compliment the emperor on the surface, "Father is still thoughtful."

The Emperor didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore. Seeing Yuan Chaokang sitting next to him, but clearly distracted, he changed the subject, "You and Shuxian came to the villa, but why did you bring Kang'er with you? Doesn't he need to study and practice martial arts?"

Yuan Bohua didn't even look at his son and explained casually:

"When Kang'er was born, he was weak, so the princess and I inevitably favored him a little.

Kang'er is the second son and now a prince. When he grew up, he did not like studying or practicing martial arts, and he did not have any great ambitions. He just wanted to live his life as a playboy.

The princess and I won't force anything, we just hope that he stays healthy."

The retired emperor was quite fond of this child who just wanted to be a playboy. After all, who in power wouldn't like to have a few holdbacks in his subjects' families?

After hearing Yuan Bohua's words, the emperor beckoned to Yuan Chaokang and said, "Come to Grandfather!"

Yuan Chaokang pretended to be reckless and happy, and sat directly next to the retired emperor, his face full of admiration, "Grandfather!"

"You're a good boy!" The emperor said, and then he took out a jade pendant from his waist and placed it in Yuan Chaokang's hand, "Have fun with it!"

Yuan Chaokang didn't even look at his father, but simply reached out and took it. He felt it would be a waste if he didn't want to. His face was filled with joy: "Thank you, Grandfather!"

Yuan Bohua was not only cursing but also feeling lucky that Yuan Chaokang had been smart since he was young. Otherwise, he was really afraid that his son would become a real playboy.

Yuan Bohua still said in a doting tone: "Father, please stop praising him. It will be even harder to control him in the future."

The Emperor subconsciously spoke up for Yuan Chaokang, "Our Kang'er just likes to play a little, it's not as serious as you say. Besides, Kang'er has you and Chang'er working hard for him, just follow his wishes."

Yuan Bohua and Yuan Chaokang were both at a loss for words when they heard the emperor's thoughts. His thoughts were also a little obvious.

Were the thoughts of the former emperors always so simple? Yuan Bohua and Yuan Chaokang both had this doubt in their hearts.

Actually, the emperor's behavior is quite easy to explain. After all, the emperor is old and has already abdicated. He no longer needs to fight with those old foxes in the court, so his mind is inevitably less nervous.

Moreover, after the abdication of the Emperor, he resolved the suppression of the Tianyuan Kingdom by the Shenggan Kingdom and won a great victory in the national war. In the eyes of the Emperor, this was all due to his wise command, and he was inevitably a little arrogant, thinking that he was the greatest emperor of all time.

I unconsciously stop thinking too much about many things.

You have to act to the end. Since the emperor wants Yuan Chaokang to look spoiled, then Yuan Chaokang will look spoiled.

Yuan Chaokang immediately looked at Yuan Bohua with great interest, as if he had obtained a talisman. "Father, did you hear that? My grandfather said I'm good."

Yuan Bohua also pretended to glare at Yuan Chaokang, and Yuan Chaokang also bowed to the emperor timidly and went to play nearby.

Yuan Bohua and the emperor drank tea, played chess and chatted for a long time. When they finished chatting, Yuan Bohua took his leave.

Yuan Bohua and the emperor discovered that Yuan Chaokang had picked all the precious flowers nearby and trampled them into a mess.

When Yuan Chaokang saw Yuan Bohua and the Emperor looking at him, he immediately placed one of the flowers in front of the Emperor, "Grandfather, this one looks great, doesn't it? This one is for you."

I'll take the remaining handful back to my mother. When the time comes, she'll surely be happy to give me lots of money to spend."

The emperor looked at his favorite flowers in front of him, his heart bleeding. This place was his favorite place to stay, just because of these flowers.

These flowers are extremely precious and delicate. The craftsmen of the villa have spent several years to cultivate them to their current beautiful size.

The emperor would of course be happy if other people had naughty children, but when this naughty child happened to him, he didn’t feel so good.

Yuan Bohua was very happy when he saw the flowers in his son's and the emperor's hands, but he immediately knelt down to apologize.

The emperor could only reach out and pull Yuan Bohua who was about to kneel. He couldn't let Fu'an think that his love for Yuan Chaokang was fake!

"Fuan, you are too cautious. Every child is naughty. Besides, I like this bouquet of flowers very much."

Yuan Bohua glared at Yuan Chaokang fiercely and made a solemn promise to the emperor, "I will educate Yuan Chaokang well when I return. Please rest assured, father!"

Yuan Chaokang looked unconvinced, "Father! Even the Royal Grandfather said he liked it."

"Kang'er is right. I really like how filial Kang'er is."

The emperor was very insincere and was thinking in his heart that it would be best if Fu'an returned to the imperial farm so that he could give his son a good beating.

Can I pick anything I want in the Royal Villa?

Yuan Bohua acted as if he was reluctant to agree, glared at Yuan Chaokang fiercely, then pulled Yuan Chaokang's clothes on his arm and bowed to leave.

Anyone who saw Yuan Bohua like this would think that when Prince Yi came out of the royal villa, he would definitely be beaten by Prince Fu'an.

When Yuan Bohua and Yuan Chaokang came out of the inner courtyard of the royal villa, they saw Zhou Qiongyue already waiting for them in the carriage.

As soon as Yuan Chaokang saw his mother, he immediately broke free from Yuan Bohua's shackles like a strong calf, and ran towards his mother with the flowers in his arms.

"Mother, mother, look what your son brought you..."

Before Yuan Chaokang could shout again, Yuan Bohua immediately covered his mouth and carried him to the carriage. After Yuan Bohua carried Yuan Chaokang to the carriage, he immediately told the driver to set off.

As soon as the carriage started, Yuan Bohua let go of Yuan Chaokang, and Yuan Chaokang placed the flowers directly in front of Zhou Qiongyue.

Looking at his mother with a smile on his face, Yuan Chaokang didn't say anything, but Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua could see that their son was in a good mood.

However, Zhou Qiongyue did not say anything, but just happily admired the flowers.

After the carriage left the Royal Courtyard, Zhou Qiongyue hurriedly asked, "Where did Kang'er pick this?"

Of course Zhou Qiongyue also realized that this flower was the favorite variety of the emperor. She had heard her aunt explain it to her in detail before.

"Your son picked it in the Royal Courtyard! Where else could it have come from?" Yuan Bohua poured himself a large cup of tea, his tone very cheerful and gloating.

"The Emperor is willing to give up his love? I once heard from my aunt that there was once a favorite concubine in the palace who picked a few flowers because of her love for them, and then she was ignored."

Zhou Qiongyue found it unbelievable. Could it be that in the heart of the retired emperor, he really regarded Yuan Chaokang as his grandson?
