After the Second Prince gave the jade pendant, he looked at Zhou Qiongyue impatiently, "I've given you the jade pendant, but where are the channels for buying ice? Tell me quickly."
The Second Prince was embarrassed to say that he had been looking for this channel in Yuan'an for a long time, but had no news. He was also quite curious about how his cousin, who was so lazy, had found such a channel.
Zhou Qiongyue first gave the jade pendant to Gu Mei and then explained, "Well, I have a method to make ice quickly. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to teach it to Auntie. You will know it tomorrow."
The Second Prince understood what his cousin meant. He tactfully did not ask what the method was. Instead, he focused on the jade pendant he had lost. "You mean if I wait a little longer, I can find out tomorrow?"
Zhou Qiongyue replied very quickly, even raising her eyebrows with laughter, "You can say that."
She was not happy about getting a jade pendant, but she was happy about her second cousin losing a jade pendant.
The Second Prince didn't ask Zhou Qiongyue to return the jade pendant. He simply picked up his chopsticks and began to eat fiercely, "I want it back!"
Especially after the second prince tasted the cold dish, all he could see was the rice, and he completely forgot about the jade pendant.
Seeing that her second cousin looked like a starving ghost, Zhou Qiongyue quickly picked up more food for Yuan Bohua. Otherwise, the second cousin would eat it all in a moment.
Yuan Bohua, who was taken care of by Zhou Qiongyue, felt that the meal was particularly delicious.
Seeing this, the Second Prince even found time to grumble, "Women are indeed extroverts."
In response, Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue pretended not to hear. It was already so late and they were already hungry. They didn't want to waste their energy arguing with their second cousin!
After the Second Prince had eaten his fill, he took a glass of grape juice with ice and sipped it, "Sometimes I really want to compete with my cousin for Gu Yu."
Zhou Qiongyue wasn't afraid at all, "If you dare to snatch it, I'll go complain to my aunt."
The Second Prince was extremely puzzled, "You are already so old, why are you still complaining all the time?"
Seeing the two of them arguing again, Yuan Bohua shook his head helplessly and could only quickly change the subject, "Cousin, why did you come to see us so late? Is there something wrong?"
When the Second Prince heard Yuan Bohua asking about serious matters, he immediately sat up straighter. "I want to talk to Father about the method my cousin came up with to help the disaster victims. I think the court needs more people to work, so I came to ask my cousin for her opinion."
The second prince had no intention of taking credit for his cousin's achievements. He was just afraid that if he spoke carelessly, it would cause unnecessary trouble for his cousin.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the other side of the Second Prince's waist. Very good, there was a jade pendant. She calmly spread out her hand and said, "Give it to me."
"What?" The second prince was really confused now.
Zhou Qiongyue pointed to another jade pendant on the second prince's waist, and her meaning was very clear.
Although the second prince said that Zhou Qiongyue was stingy, he was actually willing to give it to her.
Just as Zhou Qiongyue pointed at him, he pretended to be heartbroken, but his hand took it off involuntarily and handed it to Zhou Qiongyue.
As soon as she got the jade pendant, Zhou Qiongyue tied it around Yuan Bohua's waist. She also looked at it with appreciation and was very satisfied:
"This jade pendant will be considered as your purchase of this proposal. From this moment on, this proposal is yours."
The second prince next to him was still immersed in the shock of his cousin snatching his things and giving them to Yuan Bohua.
When the second prince heard his cousin say that she had given him the idea, his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.
The Second Prince swallowed his saliva, "Cousin, what I mean is..."
"Just as you think, I don't need this kind of credit. I just want to lie down in the mansion and not go anywhere. I don't want to be targeted by the emperor as a talented person."
Zhou Qiongyue explained casually.
The Second Prince didn't hear his cousin say this, so he quickly agreed. Instead, he looked at Yuan Bohua. Even if his cousin couldn't come forward to do such a great deed, Yuan Bohua could do it!
Moreover, husband and wife are one, and the second prince also has to consider the situation of his cousin.
"Don't look at me. I don't need it. I'm already a prince. No matter how many merits I have, it's just that. Do you think the emperor can give me an iron-hat prince?"
Yuan Bohua's words were a sure win.
The Second Prince listened to his friend Yuan Bohua's words and felt that he was showing off. Yes, this guy is now a prince, while he is still a bald prince.
However, the Second Prince still replied to Yuan Bohua sincerely, "Even if you marry my cousin, you can't become an iron-hat prince.
Not only you, but also the fifth brother can't do it.
This would have a huge impact on the royal family. Unless they were forced, they would never agree to such a ridiculous thing."
The Second Prince's meaning was very clear. Even if he came to power, he would never agree to such an absurd request.
Yuan Bohua just said this and had no real intention of becoming an iron-hat prince.
So when he heard the Second Prince's words, his expression didn't change at all. Instead, he spread his hands indifferently and said, "That's it. It would be a waste to give me this credit."
The second prince, Li Jingchen, immediately said, "Okay, when the emperor gives me good things, I will give them all to my cousin."
Zhou Qiongyue really has no shortage of good things now, and since all the credit has been given to her second cousin, she gave it to him directly, "No need, just keep it as the emperor's reward to you! If you get other good things in the future, don't forget me!"
The Second Prince was truly moved. Such a great achievement was given to him by his cousin and brother-in-law without hesitation, which showed how much they loved him. "Don't worry, cousin. I will never forget you when I get any benefits in the future."
Zhou Qiongyue nodded nonchalantly, and then discussed some specific points of work-for-relief with her second cousin.
If Yuan Bohua hadn't driven them away, the second prince would have wanted to talk with his cousin and brother-in-law all night long.
The next day, Yuan Bohua sent Zhou Qiongyue to the palace gate early in the morning. Besides the fact that it was hot because he left too late, Yuan Bohua also had to go back to work.
Zhou Qiongyue did not submit the invitation in advance today, but the second prince was going to the palace to see the emperor today, so he brought Zhou Qiongyue in with him.
So when the queen saw Zhou Qiongyue, she was quite surprised.
"Why did Yue'er suddenly come to the palace? Don't worry, your aunt will take care of anything for you."
The queen thought someone was bullying Yue'er, otherwise why would she come so early in the morning and come in without handing in the invitation.
After the Queen finished speaking, she pulled Zhou Qiongyue to sit at the dining table. "Yue'er, have you had breakfast yet? Come and have some with your aunt?"
Zhou Qiongyue had actually used a little of it at home, but since she was sharing it with her aunt, she could still eat some. She nodded happily.
The queen looked at Zhou Qiongyue's well-behaved appearance and felt her heart melt.
While the Queen was picking up some buns for Zhou Qiongyue, she asked, "Is anyone bullying you outside?"
Zhou Qiongyue shook her head while eating, and when she had some free time, she took a puff to explain, "No, don't worry, aunt. I suddenly came to the palace today because I found a good thing and I couldn't wait to give it to you."
