When Zhou Qiongyue finished packing and came out, Yuan Bohua was already waiting for her at the dining table.
"Come here soon, Yue'er!" Yuan Bohua said as he went over to support Zhou Qiongyue.
Zhou Qiongyue just glared at Yuan Bohua blatantly, walked quickly forward and sat at the dining table. She was really hungry.
"Your Highness, please enjoy your meal!" Zhou Qiongyue was still polite. After all, in this era, the male host of the house had to pick up his chopsticks first.
Yuan Bohua personally scooped a bowl of soup for Zhou Qiongyue and placed it in front of her. "There's no need to worry about this between you and me."
Zhou Qiongyue agreed with a smile. As long as her second cousin could become the ultimate winner like in the book, she was not afraid of Yuan Bohua's future change of heart or falling out with her.
Zhou Qiongyue ate while trying to find a topic to chat about, "Is the prince okay today?"
As for the rule of 'not talking while eating, not talking while sleeping', now that she was the head of the household, she didn't care about it. In her own house, of course, she could do whatever was comfortable for her.
"Something's going on! I'm going to give my princess a big fish as compensation today." Yuan Bohua picked up some food for Zhou Qiongyue while eating it himself. He was also very hungry.
"Your Highness is so confident?" Zhou Qiongyue was very skeptical. After all, fishing is not only about technique but also about luck. You can't just fish if you want to, especially if you want to catch a big fish.
Since the princess had said so, Yuan Bohua certainly didn't want to be nervous. Not long before his wedding, he had people throw a lot of big fish into the lake in the mansion. It wouldn't be too much for him to catch one! "Just ask Gu Yu to prepare the big fish tonight."
"Okay, then I'll wait for the prince's fish." Zhou Qiongyue said this, but in her heart she was thinking about how she should comfort the prince if he couldn't catch any fish in the afternoon.
Since Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua had agreed, after lunch, they moved directly to the palace's artificial lake. Two chairs and a small table, all filled with delicious snacks prepared by Gu Yu, and a pot of hot tea, were laid out for a leisurely meal.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua sat by the lake and drank some tea. Everyone who saw them felt that their life was comfortable.
Yuan Bohua thought about his impression of those ladies from wealthy families. It seemed that they were just embroidering things. He didn't know where there were so many things to embroider. "I thought the princess was going to get an embroidery booth and sit here to embroider!"
Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua and thought to herself, this guy is still expecting me to make clothes for him or something! That would really kill me, but Zhou Qiongyue chose to tell the truth:
"Oh, the embroiderer my mother gave me as a dowry is quite good, and the four maids serving me are also good at embroidery. I'm not good at this."
Although Yuan Bohua really wanted the princess to embroider a purse or something for him, since the princess said she wasn't good at it, he didn't insist on it. So he changed the subject and asked, "Then what is the princess good at?"
Zhou Qiongyue casually took the snack beside her and ate it while replying, "Oh, does providing for yourself in your old age count?"
"Tell me about it in detail?" It was the first time Yuan Bohua heard someone say this, and he thought it was quite interesting.
Zhou Qiongyue felt that there was nothing wrong with this. "I'm not good at anything, nor am I very interested in anything. I just want to eat and sleep in the mansion, sleep and eat, and read some books and go fishing when I have time."
When Yuan Bohua heard the princess say this, he felt a rare sense of relief. After all, compared to the Second Prince, it was impossible to say that he had no sense of crisis. After all, no one wanted to be forced to compromise:
"Then the princess and I are truly a perfect match. I think so too."
Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua beside her suspiciously. "Don't you men all yearn for the vastness of the world? You're so young, and you don't want to strive for it?"
Anyway, Zhou Qiongyue didn't believe it.
"It doesn't matter whether I yearn for it or not! What's important is that there's no higher rank to be promoted to, so I don't need to strive for it anymore." Yuan Bohua felt helpless when talking about this. If he had the chance, he would rather go to the border to join the army.
But there is no chance at the moment, and now he is married and has gone to the border, what will happen to Yue'er?
After hearing what Yuan Bohua said, Zhou Qiongyue remembered that this prince was already a prince and there was really no room for him to be promoted any further. Could it be that he wanted to make him an iron-hat prince? Forget it!
A tall tree attracts the wind and dies quickly, but Zhou Qiongyue couldn't help but tease Yuan Bohua, "You better restrain yourself! Be careful not to get caught in a sack."
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, she saw Yuan Bohua looking at her with a complicated expression. "What do you want to ask me when you look at me like that?"
"I...I want to ask if there is a chance I want to go to the border to join the army, are you willing?" Although there may not be a chance, he still wants to ask first.
Zhou Qiongyue thought for a moment and said directly: "If you want to go, go!"
She wasn't one of those women who couldn't live without her husband. Not to mention that she was a princess, she could stand on her own. She still had her aunt, the Queen, by her side, so no one dared to bully her.
"Do you want me to go?" Yuan Bohua thought that Zhou Qiongyue would agree, and also thought that she would disagree, but he never thought that she would agree so easily.
He was first surprised, then disappointed. He had seen how Zhou Qiongyue liked the Second Prince, but he always felt that Zhou Qiongyue's calmness now did not seem like she loved him.
"Your Highness, don't you want to go? And I admire those who serve in the military." Zhou Qiongyue admired those who served in the military from the bottom of her heart. Although she herself could not do it, she was willing to be the prince's backer.
Yuan Bohua didn't know what he felt at this moment. Generally speaking, he was more surprised!
Yuan Bohua was silent for a moment. Whether he could realize his dream or not was not important, but he had something more important to ask, "I feel like you don't like me as much as you liked the Second Prince before?"
Yuan Bohua even felt a little aggrieved.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua with a strange look, "Do you know how I liked my second cousin before?"
She thought about what the original owner had done before. She'd just given him gifts, played together often, and when the Second Prince ran out of pocket money, he'd ask for more. Perhaps the original owner was more clingy, and she truly couldn't match his selfless devotion.
Yuan Bohua... "You always wanted to play with us back then, and you often gave the Second Prince various gifts."
"Is it possible that I gave it to my second and fifth cousins? Besides, when you like someone when you're young and ignorant, you're definitely more impulsive. As you grow up after suffering losses, you're bound to be more rational! I really like the prince now."
Zhou Qiongyue gave a brief explanation. She couldn't say that she and the original owner were two different people. She could only explain that she had grown up and comforted Yuan Bohua at the same time.
Yuan Bohua would listen to the key points, "Yue'er, you said you like me?"
"If I don't like you, why would I marry you? Even though you're a prince, it's not impossible for me to marry a prince or something."
Zhou Qiongyue said this with confidence. She really likes Yuan Bohua now.
