Please, I Just Want to Be the Cousin

Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—

Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.

Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine....

Chapter 81 Yuan Bohua's Favor

Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua and said nonchalantly, "Although it hurts, I've got the title of Princess. There will be one less person who can bully me in the future. I'm quite happy."

Yuan Bohua looked at Zhou Qiongyue who was so happy. He didn't know what to say. He just promised, "Well, don't be afraid. I will support you."

Zhou Qiongyue was quite surprised to hear what Yuan Bohua said. She thought he had been silent because he disliked her fighting with a man, which was shameful!

It turned out that he was still thinking about supporting him! But she didn't take it seriously. Just thinking that Yuan Bohua was talking to this point, she chose to follow Yuan Bohua's words and said, "Always? No matter what I did wrong?"

There was something of a joke in Zhou Qiongyue's words, and it was meant to liven up the atmosphere.

Yuan Bohua is still a little crazy at heart! How normal can a child who was picked up from a pile of corpses by the emperor be?

Sometimes he felt that pretending to be normal was tiring! In front of the person he liked, he didn't want to pretend so much. "Well, I'm alone anyway. It would be great if we could go find Father and Mother together."

In fact, what Yuan Bohua said was quite true. He never felt that being alive was that good. He just promised his relatives that he would live well.

But Yuan Bohua thought that he would have someone to accompany him in the future. He had a hunch that his future princess would be someone who could go crazy with him.

Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua's bright expression and didn't believe that he was the kind of person who could do such a thing. She just thought he was joking. "Since Your Highness made me laugh today, I will treat Your Highness to lunch. The lunch in my courtyard is delicious."

"Okay!" Yuan Bohua agreed happily. After all, he was having dinner at the same table with his beloved in the Marquis' Mansion, and no one outside would know about it, so why not?

Yuan Bohua tasted Gu Yu's cooking for the first time, and even he, who often ate imperial meals, couldn't help but praise it: "The food here at Yue'er is really good. This king will be blessed in the future."

Zhou Qiongyue's hand holding the spoon trembled when she heard this, and a little person in her heart was complaining crazily, "Aren't they said that the ancients were reserved? This Yuan Bohua doesn't seem to be reserved."

Zhou Qiongyue finally replied helplessly, "As long as the prince likes it."

"I like it very much!" Yuan Bohua was not one to stop when he saw a good opportunity, and instead he was a little too demanding. But after he said this, he took out another banknote from his sleeve and placed it in front of Zhou Qiongyue.

Zhou Qiongyue looked at the amount on the bill and suspected that this guy was showing off his wealth in front of her. "What's this, Your Highness?"

"You're injured, so use this to buy something you like to cheer yourself up." Yuan Bohua looked at Zhou Qiongyue's reluctant and surprised eyes and knew that she would be happy if he gave her this.

She was quite happy to have a fiancé who often gave her banknotes. However, her sometimes erratic sense of morality made her unwilling to spend her fiancé's money before they were even married. "It wasn't the prince who beat me, so there's no need to spend it!"

Yuan Bohua knew what Zhou Qiongyue was worried about! But for Yuan Bohua, since she was engaged to him, he would marry her no matter what happened.

There was absolutely no possibility that his beloved was worried about. No matter what Yuan Bohua was thinking, he still had a calm and composed look on his face, pretending to be a wealthy man.

"Don't worry! I have so much banknotes that I can't spend them all, so I'll ask the future princess to help me spend them!"

Seeing that Yuan Bohua gave it very generously, Zhou Qiongyue appreciated it and let Gulan keep it. No matter what, she would not be the one to spoil the fun.

Zhou Qiongyue still thanked him solemnly, "Thank you very much, Your Highness. I like it very much."

Yuan Bohua looked at Zhou Qiongyue's injuries and didn't stay any longer. "As long as you like it! I'll leave first. You should take good care of your injuries. I'll come to see you in two days."

Zhou Qiongyue was in real pain, and even after applying medicine, she didn't want to move. She had no choice but to order Gulan, "Gulan, help me get the prince out."

After Yuan Bohua left, Zhou Qiongyue did not go in to lie down. Instead, she asked someone to put a recliner in the corridor and lay down in the corridor to enjoy the fresh air.

Her injury was external, and she didn't need to be exposed to the wind. Lying outside wasn't as stuffy as indoors.

Zhou Qiongyue had originally thought the matter was over. A few days later, news came from the harem that the Third Prince had been caught complaining about the Emperor. He was then beaten by the Emperor's men, and it was said that he was unable to get out of bed for a month.

She was very happy when she heard about it, but she was not so naive. There was no such coincidence in the world. There must be someone plotting this.

When Zhou Qiongyue heard the news, the first person that came to her mind was Yuan Bohua. However, she was not so sure, but after she asked her father and eldest brother, and they all said it was not them, Zhou Qiongyue was sure.

She silently kept Yuan Bohua's kindness in her heart. Zhou Qiongyue thought that she should store more food so that she could help Yuan Bohua more when there was a drought in the future.

Yuan Bohua: You will never imagine how rich the prince is who can feed his whole family with just one person.

Zhou Qiongyue thought about it and asked Gu Yu to cook a large table of delicious food, and asked someone to deliver it to Yuan Bohua personally to the palace.

Later, while Zhou Qiongyue was recuperating, Yuan Bohua gave her a lot of valuable things, the most of which were jewelry, followed by various medicinal herbs for health.

Even Gulan, who served beside Zhou Qiongyue, smiled and teased Zhou Qiongyue, "Miss, could it be that the prince has emptied the palace?"

"That shouldn't be the case!" Zhou Qiongyue didn't believe that such a grand prince's mansion would only have these few things.

But Yuan Bohua was really good to her, so good that sometimes she doubted whether she was worthy of him. But she was not someone with low self-esteem, it was just a fleeting thought.

If we were to ask who was the most unhappy about Zhou Qiongyue's injury, it would be Xie Zixin. She had smashed several batches of porcelain in her room.

The higher Zhou Qiongyue's status, the more unwilling she became to accept it, so Xie Zixin left the house more frequently. She even pawned all her unused jewelry and bought a three-story house in Yuan'an, storing food throughout Yuan'an. She was just waiting for the opportunity to perform a great deed.

Xie Zixin's action made the emperor extremely wary. For powerful families, hoarding grain is second only to hoarding troops.

So when Zhou Qiongyue had completely recovered from her injuries, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for the second prince's wedding, and the time was quite tight, just two months later.

Moreover, the emperor allowed Xie Zixin to enter the mansion one month after the second prince's wedding. On the surface, this was a favor to the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, although Xie Zixin herself was not very willing.

But now the Second Prince treats her very well, and she has regained the feeling of her previous life, so she is worried that she will not enter the palace. After all, the Second Prince's wife is Duan Jianing.

Between future achievements and love, Xie Zixin finally chose love. She actively dealt with everything outside and waited obediently to enter the Second Prince's backyard.
