In the end, the housekeeper was betrayed by Zhou Qiongyue. After all, she had given the housekeeper two chances before.
It is said that things never happen more than three times, and she is not someone who is easy to deal with. It is impossible for her to let bygones be bygones just because she cries a few times and kowtows a few times.
After Zhou Qiongyue sorted out the affairs of the palace, she directly handed over most of the things to Gulan, and she just had to watch from behind.
She has to do everything herself, she must be exhausted.
Zhou Qiongyue then thought that the main courtyard of the palace did not suit her taste, so she started to build a large-scale construction project in the palace. Zhou Qiongyue actually wanted to build several dark rooms in the basement of the main courtyard of the palace, similar to the cellar, mainly for storing grain.
She was worried that if the drought really got severe, she would be able to provide emergency assistance if Yuan'an City ran out of food. However, Zhou Qiongyue hadn't figured out how to explain this news to Yuan Bohua yet.
She thought about doing it first and then finding time to talk to Yuan Bohua.
So she told Yuan Bohua that she wanted to renovate the main courtyard. Yuan Bohua didn't care about it at first. He had lived alone in the palace for many years, and it was just a place to sleep. He didn't care about these things.
Moreover, the emperor recently wanted to send him to Jiangnan to secretly buy grain and transport it back to Yuan'an. He didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, but he couldn't tell anyone about the order he received.
So Yuan Bohua had to go out on business not long after his wedding, and he felt guilty. At this time, Zhou Qiongyue wanted to make trouble in the palace, and Yuan Bohua was eager to find something to occupy Zhou Qiongyue's mind!
That day, Yuan Bohua only went back home to say hello to Zhou Qiongyue, took two sets of clothes and left.
Zhou Qiongyue was still wondering how she had told Yuan Bohua about having another child in two years. Now that he was no longer in Yuan'an, they could only wait for Yuan Bohua to come back and discuss it again.
It wasn't that Zhou Qiongyue didn't want children. In this era, it was unrealistic to not have children. Besides, her husband really had a title to inherit.
If she didn't have children, who knows who would get the benefit. This good thing must belong to her future children.
She wasn't in a rush to have a baby right now, mainly because her body was still too small and giving birth would be too dangerous. Another reason was that a drought was coming. If it was as horrible as described in the novel, people would be displaced and even eat their own children.
She doesn't want to have a baby in these two years, so let's wait and see!
Even if the palace has no shortage of food, it would be even more inappropriate to raise a child to be plump and white. In the face of such a disaster, there will be more people who are jealous, so they should keep a low profile.
Zhou Qiongyue’s current plan is to wait until the drought is over before considering having children. By then, this body will be older and the disaster will be over, so it will be more appropriate.
Yuan Bohua had been gone for over five months. If it weren't for the frequent letters he sent her, Zhou Qiongyue would have been really worried.
Even when Princess Yongchun was about to get married, Yuan Bohua showed no intention of coming back.
Zhou Qiongyue understood that it seemed that she would not be able to return until the mission was completed.
This was the day before Princess Yongchun's wedding, the day everyone was preparing their dowry. Zhou Qiongyue rushed into the palace early in the morning just as the gates opened.
When Zhou Qiongyue arrived, Princess Yongchun had just started to eat breakfast. She heard someone below report, "Princess Fu'an has arrived."
Princess Yongchun Li Jingtang immediately put down her chopsticks and went out to greet her in person.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at Princess Yongchun who came out to greet her and immediately went up to her and saluted, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Princess Yongchun pulled up Zhou Qiongyue who was bowing and asked, "Yue'er, are you still being polite to me?"
Princess Yongchun pulled Zhou Qiongyue in and said, "You came to the palace so early, you must not have had breakfast yet! Let's have some together."
Zhou Qiongyue had indeed entered the palace without having breakfast, and she allowed Princess Yongchun to pull her to sit at the dining table. "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
Princess Yongchun looked at Zhou Qiongyue, who was quite well-behaved, and said with a smile, "Yue'er, are you still being polite to me?"
Zhou Qiongyue relaxedly picked up the chopsticks in her hand, picking out the ones she liked while replying to her friend, "We're getting married now, so you have to pretend for a while longer!"
"Tsk tsk, how do you feel after getting married?" Princess Yongchun was really curious, mainly because she was about to get married and was still nervous.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't say much. She put down her chopsticks and swallowed what was in her mouth.
He stood up swiftly and turned around twice in front of Princess Yongchun. "Your Highness, what do you think of my condition?"
What she wears now is better than before, and she can now wear some jewelry that she couldn't wear before.
Princess Yongchun thought about the situation at Prince Fu'an's mansion and realized that her friend was really doing well. She put down her chopsticks with a bit of worry, "I'm just a little worried. I'm worried that I can't handle the affairs of the whole family."
"Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this! Your Highness is not the eldest daughter-in-law, so you don't need to worry about the affairs of the Marquis of Sheng'en's Mansion. Your Highness should just focus on living a good life with Prince Consort Sun in the Princess's Mansion.
As for the people of Sheng'en Hou, you just need to be polite during the New Year and festivals. After all, Sun Changkun is the princess, not Sun Changkun marrying a wife."
My friend is a princess, and she doesn't approve of your Highness lowering her status once she gets married. Sometimes, the relationship between the ruler and the subject is the best protection for your Highness.
"Is that so?" Although Princess Yongchun's eyes sparkled, she was still a little confused. After all, this was a little different from what her mother had told her.
Her mother always reminded her repeatedly that after getting married, she should not act like a princess and should take the initiative to get along well with the people in the Marquis Sheng'en Mansion.
"What do you think, Your Highness? The most important thing is that Your Highness is happy. I feel that sometimes, if I don't come down to earth, some blind people won't dare to offend me easily. It's just that they may not like me that much.
It depends on your Highness's choice."
Zhou Qiongyue only expressed her thoughts. As for how her friends chose, she really couldn't interfere. After all, everyone has different expectations of life.
Princess Yongchun thought about her friend's words, and she felt suddenly enlightened. She hated trouble the most.
If she was too easy to talk to, anyone would dare to ask her for favors, which wouldn't be enough to make her angry. "I still think Yue'er is right. I just want to live a good life with my husband."
"Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Look at the makeup I have chosen for you." Zhou Qiongyue said as she instructed Gulan to put the box she was holding in front of Princess Yongchun.
Zhou Qiongyue gestured to Princess Yongchun to open it and take a look. "Your Highness, please open it and take a look?"
Even though Princess Yongchun had seen fine things before, she was stunned by this set of headwear. "It's a translucent green. Even mother's storehouse might not have this quality. I guess Yue'er only has this set."
Princess Yongchun carefully closed the lid and said, "This is too valuable. I can't accept it..."
