Then I can think of a small business to get the Fifth Prince's shop up and running. When the Fifth Prince leaves the palace and sets up his own residence, he shouldn't be in the same predicament as his Second Brother.
Since Zhou Qiongyue agreed to help the Fifth Prince manage the farm, she would not let the Fifth Prince suffer any loss.
Of course, when Zhou Qiongyue bought it, she also told her eldest brother and fifth brother. As for whether the two of them bought it or not, she had no right to interfere.
It’s just that everyone has their own fate!
Although Zhou Qiongyue bought some, she was also sensible. She bought houses and shops that were once owned by wealthy businessmen. The locations were not so good, so of course they were not so eye-catching.
Especially among the ministers and nobles, it was just normal. Many ministers looked down on the small house with three entrances.
For example, Xie Zixin used most of her dowry to choose a large house in a good location, and also a large shop facing the street.
It would be easy for the emperor and the second prince to notice it, and at least it would not be an action that would add any points.
In fact, the emperor was watching everyone's actions, not just Xie Zixin. After all, this was Yuan'an, where the emperor was, and he would not allow any unscrupulous behavior.
In fact, the emperor was quite satisfied with Zhou Qiongyue, especially when he knew that Zhou Qiongyue was really seriously considering the fifth prince.
Now in the emperor's mind, Zhou Qiongyue is a person who values love and is very good to the queen, the second prince and the fifth prince.
Of course, everyone in Yuan'an also knows that Princess Fu'an likes to go back to her parents' home. Others go back to their parents' home based on the date, but Princess Fu'an goes back whenever she wants.
Zhou Qiongyue led her people to walk on Yuan'an Street, which had become bustling again. She was in a good mood and looked around, buying a lot of useful and useless things.
When it was noon, Gulan asked, "Princess, are you going to the restaurant for lunch or back to the palace for lunch?"
Zhou Qiongyue thought about it and decided that eating alone at the wine shop wouldn't be very enjoyable. She would also eat alone at the palace. "Why don't I go back to the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion and have lunch with my mother? She must miss me."
Gu Lan was silent for only a moment, then said against his will, "The Crown Prince's wife will definitely be happy to know that you went back specially to have dinner with her."
Gu Ju, the carefree girl, quickly agreed, "Of course I'm happy!"
Gu Yu and Gu Mei smiled. They thought about the worried expression on the Crown Prince's wife's face every time she looked at the Princess, and they really couldn't agree with it.
Zhou Qiongyue felt better after hearing what Gulan and Guju said. "You two think so too? Let's go! Let's go to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion."
When Zhou Qiongyue arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, Jin and Zhou Zhiyi's wife Cheng Shiyue were in the main courtyard. Cheng Shiyue had just been found out to be pregnant, so the atmosphere in the main courtyard was extremely good.
When Jin heard the servant report that "Princess Fu'an is here", she didn't say anything, but just asked Zhou Qiongyue to come in quickly.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue entered, she saw her mother, Jin, and her eldest sister-in-law preparing to pay their respects to her. Seeing her mother's smiling face, Zhou Qiongyue immediately ran towards Jin.
Jin was worried her daughter might offend the elders, so she quickly stepped forward to catch her daughter, scolding her, "You've learned so much etiquette over the years, why are you so impatient?"
If Jin hadn't seen that her daughter was now a princess, she would have wanted to beat this guy up.
Zhou Qiongyue never took her mother Jin's criticism to heart. "I'm not just seeing that you're in a good mood. It must be that I haven't been home recently and you miss me."
Jin looked at her daughter, who was still praising her, and could only shake her head helplessly, "Then you are wrong. Mother is happy today because the doctor diagnosed that your sister-in-law is pregnant."
"Wow, then I'm going to be an aunt." Zhou Qiongyue exclaimed, and then said to her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, congratulations to you and your brother on becoming a father and mother, and also congratulations to me on becoming an aunt!"
Cheng Shiyue's face was filled with joy at the thought of her pregnancy. "Thank you very much, sister."
Zhou Qiongyue looked at her mother, Jin, with pride on her face and eyes. "Hehe, it seems I came back at the perfect time! I got the news before big brother did! Big brother will definitely envy me when the time comes."
"You!" Jin was at a loss for words with her daughter. Her temper had completely deteriorated. She could still intimidate people outside, but now she was too lazy to pretend in front of them. She was just a lazy girl.
After Jin finished saying this, she remembered to ask Zhou Qiongyue, "By the way, what's the matter with you coming back today?"
Zhou Qiongyue sat down at the dining table, looking as if she was waiting for the food to be served. "If I have to go back to my own home for something, it's to come back and have dinner with my mother."
Jin... She could only cover her forehead helplessly and said unhappily:
"I have your sister-in-law with me! Why do I need you to come back specially to have dinner with me?"
"Nothing special, I was just strolling along Yuan'an Street this morning, so I came back to have dinner with you. Mother, you're asking so many questions, when will the food be served? My nephew and I are both hungry."
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, she looked at her mother Jin with a resentful expression.
As for Zhou Qiongyue saying "nephew", it wasn't that she favored boys over girls. It was just that women in this era all wanted to have a son. If she had just said "niece", her sister-in-law might not have been happy to hear it.
In that case, she didn't have to be that annoying person and talk to her sister-in-law about how men and women were the same.
After all, women couldn't hold official positions or inherit titles these days. Who would want to see their lifelong efforts paid off to someone else?
Just like the title of Prince Fu'an, if she didn't have a son, she would either have to accept a concubine's son or accept an adopted royal heir. Just thinking about it would definitely be unpleasant.
However, when Jin heard her daughter say this, she immediately helped her daughter-in-law Cheng to sit next to her and ordered the waiters to serve the dishes.
After Jin gave the order, she was afraid that the eldest daughter-in-law would think too much, so she said, "Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. It's the same if it blooms first and then bears fruit. You and the eldest are still young, so just take it slow."
Cheng Shiyue felt relieved when she heard her mother-in-law say that. She wasn't a hypocritical person, so she said sincerely, "Thank you, mother. Hearing you say that, I'm no longer worried."
Zhou Qiongyue looked at how well her mother and sister-in-law were getting along, and she smiled silently beside them.
Jin turned around and saw her daughter looking as if she had nothing to do with the matter, just watching the fun. She then turned her attention to Zhou Qiongyue and asked, "You've been married for so long, when do you plan to have children?"
Although Zhou Qiongyue was disgusted with induced labor, she also knew that her mother was worried about her.
