Since there are no suitable candidates for Gu Ju and Gu Yu at the moment, Zhou Qiongyue plans to look for them slowly.
As a result, after a few months, Luo Yong came back, and Gu Ju and Luo Yong fell in love with each other.
Zhou Qiongyue had nothing to say about these two people. After all, they were all working under her. With her looking after them, Guju would not have a hard time in the future.
Gu Ju reported this to her family, who had no objections. Although Luo Yong was older than Gu Ju, his abilities were obvious to everyone.
Moreover, Luo Yong was alone, which met Gu Ju's requirements.
Since Luo Yong was older, he and Gu Ju knelt in front of Zhou Qiongyue and asked for her consent to the marriage, and Zhou Qiongyue agreed immediately.
So Guju actually got married before Gumei, which was something no one expected.
However, after Guju and Gumei got married, they will still serve Zhou Qiongyue for the time being, so it will not affect them in taking care of the newlyweds, so there will be no impact.
Although Gu Yu didn't like any of the people Zhou Qiongyue introduced to her, she managed to guide her little apprentice into the Tao over the past few months.
The second-class maid brought by Gu Yu can already cook several big dishes independently, and she can cook them amazingly.
However, Zhou Qiongyue was not in a hurry to promote this second-class maid. She planned to wait until Gu Yu got married.
She didn't want Gu Yu to feel that the food had gone cold before she even got married.
As time went on, Yuan Bohua finished his task and began his daily routine of working for three days and resting for two days.
Sometimes Yuan Bohua would even take leave from the morning court and only go when there was something important.
The emperor did not say anything about this. On the contrary, he liked Yuan Bohua's character of being able to take charge when there was something to do and not being greedy for power when there was nothing to do.
Yuan Bohua was spending more time at the mansion, so Zhou Qiongyue asked Gu Mei to change the dish pairings. After all, her eighteenth birthday had been three months ago.
And since the drought, people have begun to turn their attention to such matters in the harem.
After what happened with Liu Ruyan, those people didn't dare to go to the prince anymore. But they still bothered her frequently! Whenever she went out, she'd always meet a few people who said they wanted to be her "sisters," who would listen to her and raise her children.
Even if Zhou Qiongyue didn't go out, piles of invitations were handed in, which made her extremely annoyed.
Even so, Yuan Bohua was still making sarcastic remarks and asking her to find someone she could provoke and poke one or two of them, and he would make sure that these people would keep quiet.
Zhou Qiongyue... She really wanted to stab this guy who was talking without any hesitation. It was so infuriating.
In fact, after Zhou Qiongyue got married, she discussed with Yuan Bohua when to have a baby. Later, when he saw that Zhou Qiongyue had not been pregnant, he also had some guesses.
After Zhou Qiongyue ordered a change in the dish pairing, Yuan Bohua noticed it immediately. Therefore, during that period, he attended the morning court even less frequently.
He spends every day in the palace with Zhou Qiongyue.
Fortunately, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua were both in good health. After Gu Mei changed the recipe, Zhou Qiongyue became pregnant three months later.
As for how Zhou Qiongyue's pregnancy was discovered, it was of course on a normal morning when Gu Mei found out while taking Zhou Qiongyue's pulse as usual.
Ever since Zhou Qiongyue asked Gumei to adjust the dishes, Gumei knew that the princess was going to have a child, and she insisted on checking Zhou Qiongyue's pulse every day to see if she was safe.
I was afraid that no one would find out that the master was pregnant and something unexpected would happen.
At this time, Gumei and Guju had already married and were both wearing buns, but they were still serving Zhou Qiongyue, just like before.
But now it’s not their turn to be on night duty, so they can go home after their shift during the day.
When the two of them got married, Zhou Qiongyue not only prepared a fortune for them, but also ten acres of fertile land for each of them, and some gold and silver jewelry, all of which were still being traded.
Zhou Qiongyue even picked out a piece of jewelry with the Imperial Household Department logo for each of them as a treasure.
······
On the morning Gu Mei revealed Zhou Qiongyue's pregnancy, Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue had just finished breakfast and were about to go to court. Gu Mei knelt on the ground and said, "Congratulations, Princess! You are pregnant."
Gu Mei was very happy that their princess was finally going to have a child. She still followed the thinking of the times and felt that a son was the only way for a princess to maintain her status.
Moreover, the young lady's arrival also gave those serving her more confidence.
The servants around him immediately knelt on the ground in joy upon hearing this, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Yuan Bohua was also very happy when he heard this. He immediately stepped forward and took Zhou Qiongyue's other hand, laughing and saying, "Reward, everyone will get a reward."
"Thank you, Your Highness, and Thank you, Your Highness!" Everyone thanked them happily. Their palace was going to have a young master, so of course they were happy too.
Having a little master means that they and their next generation will have a place to be protected in the future, so they are quite happy.
Zhou Qiongyue just touched her belly blankly. Although she was prepared, she still found it a little unbelievable. "I'm pregnant already?"
"Yes, our son is in here." After Yuan Bohua said this, he also reached out to touch it.
Zhou Qiongyue slapped his hand away.
Yuan Bohua stared at Zhou Qiongyue blankly, his eyes clearly saying, "Why did you hit me?"
Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua, who still had a look of 'What did I do wrong?' She asked three questions in quick succession: "How can you say that? How can it be a son? What if it's a daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bohua quickly explained, "I was just saying that. Even if she's a daughter, she's still our eldest daughter and can be given the title of princess in the future. Don't worry, Yue'er, I like my daughter too."
Zhou Qiongyue looked at Yuan Bohua in disbelief, "Really?"
Yuan Bohua nodded quickly, fearing that if he was late, the princess would accuse him of not liking his daughter. "But I still hope it's a son, so that Yue'er will feel less pressure."
Zhou Qiongyue lowered her head and touched her belly, her expression very gentle. She understood what the prince meant. After all, their palace did have a title to inherit. If the first child was a boy, whether there would be more children in the future, or whether they were boys or girls, would not be that important.
But now that the child was here, Zhou Qiongyue stopped thinking too much about it. "Let it be! We can't decide this."
Yuan Bohua also smiled and agreed with Zhou Qiongyue's words, "I'll listen to Yue'er."
Seeing Yuan Bohua's statement, Zhou Qiongyue stopped caring about him. "You've already said everything. Your Highness, why are you standing here instead of going to court?"
Yuan Bohua didn't want to go to court at this moment and listen to those people whining about trivial matters! He said confidently: "There is a happy event at home today, so I won't go to the morning court. Anyway, I don't have any errands right now, so I'll stay at home with you."
