After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Eunuch He. Eunuch He immediately took out the title deed to a farm in a good location near the imperial farm that he had prepared in advance and presented it to Zhou Qiongyue with both hands.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the emperor and the empress, and only accepted it when she saw the emperor nodded.
Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue immediately stood up and bowed to express their gratitude, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
"Get up! When the time comes, you two should pack up and go together. Otherwise, the Queen will be busy and have to worry about you two. My Lord loves the Queen."
As the emperor spoke, he picked up a piece of food for the queen with his chopsticks. The emperor's main point was that he could act like whatever he was supposed to act.
The Queen also smiled gently at the Emperor, and then ate the food with a happy expression, "The Emperor is busy with all sorts of things, but he still thinks about you two. You two should remember the Emperor's kindness."
The Queen smiled and said polite words. After all, Yue'er had gotten a farm for free, so it was a good position. It was only right to say a few nice words.
Zhou Qiongyue was also very understanding and immediately smiled and thanked him again, "Thank you, uncle, for remembering me and the prince."
"Yes, thank you, uncle!" Yuan Bohua also smiled and echoed Zhou Qiongyue's words.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua played tricks together, and the warm atmosphere at the table returned instantly.
The emperor was also very satisfied with the reaction of the two juniors, and turned to advise: "You two have grown up under my care, so you two should live your lives well."
"Listen to your uncle!" Yuan Bohua was the first to respond to the emperor's words.
Zhou Qiongyue also replied, "I'll listen to my uncle!"
When the emperor saw that Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue listened to his advice, he felt even more satisfied with them.
The emperor turned around and saw his second son watching the show with great interest, so he turned his attention to the second prince Li Jingchen:
"Chen'er, you too, you've been married for so long, why is there still no movement in the mansion?"
The second prince, Li Jingchen, pointed at himself in disbelief and said, "Father, you are well aware of the situation in my mansion. The principal wife is in poor health and needs more care.
The concubine is only thinking about contributing to the drought and has no plans to have children for the time being. I can't let the concubines in the mansion be childless and then let the concubine give birth to one, right?
The second prince felt that the two people above him who were of high status had no children, and even if the concubine gave birth, she might not be able to raise the child, so why bother with all this trouble!
When the Emperor heard his son say this, he immediately became dissatisfied with Concubine Xie. She was already married into the royal family but still not content. He couldn't help but order: "Your principal wife is not in good health, it would be fine if she is taken care of for a few more years. Let your concubine give birth to a child first! What if there is one with better qualifications!"
As for what kind of talent is good, it is of course best to inherit some of his/her mother's advantages, such as the ability to foresee the future. The emperor particularly wants to keep this ability in the royal family.
If it weren't for Xie Zixin's very high status and the fact that the high positions in the emperor's harem were basically full, the emperor would definitely want to take Xie Zixin into his harem.
"Your son will listen to your Majesty!" The second prince agreed very readily. He also wanted to have a few children with Xin'er, just in case one of them was particularly smart!
But Xin'er was still unwilling to be just a concubine in the backyard and wanted to take care of things outside first. As the second prince who loved her, he could only agree to her with a smile.
Now that his father had said this, Xie Zixin could no longer refuse this matter. The emperor's order could not be disobeyed, how could the second prince not be happy?
The emperor was quite satisfied with his second son's attitude. He knew what was important. But he added, "It's good that you know what's important and what's not."
The second prince Li Jingchen nodded heavily. He also wanted a child who could foresee the future.
Zhou Qiongyue, who was standing next to her, pretended to be drinking her digestive tea seriously, but she was still listening to all the gossip she needed to hear. Seeing how much the emperor and her second cousin were looking forward to Xie Zixin's child, she felt that her second cousin's wife was going to have a hard time.
Zhou Qiongyue was just listening, she wouldn't meddle in other people's affairs. At most, she would remind the Second Prince's wife when the time comes. There was nothing else she could do.
Yuan Bohua seemed to understand what was being said, but he listened patiently. He planned to ask the princess about it when he got back home. The princess looked absorbed in it, so Yuan Bohua knew that she understood.
The emperor was actually busy! After giving instructions to the second prince, he took his men and left.
After the emperor left, according to the queen's previous practice, Zhou Qiongyue would definitely stay in the palace to accompany her in the afternoon, and leave only when the palace gates were about to be locked.
But Yuan Bohua was also here today, so it would be inconvenient for the Queen to stay any longer. So not long after the Emperor left, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua also asked to leave.
The Queen did not stay for long, but only rewarded Yuan Bohua and the other two with some good things. These good things were originally reserved by the Queen for Zhou Qiongyue, and the reward was just a reasonable excuse and opportunity.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua left, the second prince Li Jingchen immediately took his leave from the queen and followed them out.
Then the second prince got directly into Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua's carriage on the pretext that his carriage was broken.
When Yuan Bohua saw the Second Prince like this, he knew that his good friend had something to ask the Princess. He didn't say much, but quietly pulled out the small table in the carriage and began to make tea. "Your Highness, would you like some tea?"
The Second Prince was not polite to his cousin and cousin-in-law. He simply waved his hand and said, "No, I won't drink. Drinking a belly full of water will make me uncomfortable!"
Seeing that the second prince didn't want to drink, Yuan Bohua made a large cup for himself and Zhou Qiongyue.
Yuan Bohua's action stunned the second prince. Who drinks tea from a teacup instead of a teacup?
The Second Prince also followed the principle of asking out of curiosity, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, what are you two doing?"
"The princess said that drinking this way is more enjoyable, and I think so too." Yuan Bohua was quite proud when he talked about this.
When the second prince heard Yuan Bohua's words, he felt that he was no longer with Dapu.
The Second Prince looked at Zhou Qiongyue with a heartbroken expression, "Cousin, you were raised by both our mother and our aunt since you were little.
Not to mention the Queen Mother, even my aunt's tea art is unmatched by most people. How did you develop the habit of drinking tea from such a large cup?
Zhou Qiongyue was too lazy to watch this guy's antics and said bluntly, "Second cousin, is there anything wrong? If not, then shut up."
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, she used her free hand to make a gesture to cover her mouth.
The Second Prince...had something to ask of someone, so he didn't dare to object. He could only look at Yuan Bohua and ask, "Brother-in-law, can you take care of your princess?"
Yuan Bohua spread his hands and said, "You've got the wrong person. I'm under the princess's care."
"What a promising future!" Although the second prince said this, his face still showed satisfaction.
Zhou Qiongyue just wanted to put the stone in her heart down first, "Tell me! What does second cousin want from the prince? Do you need me to make room for you two? I'm a pretty good rider now."
"No, I'm looking for you, cousin." The second cousin was silent for a moment, then added: "Or you two."
