Seeing that his daughter was well taken care of by the Queen, the Second Prince found an excuse to return to the front yard from the backyard. However, he still felt very uncomfortable.
He then took his men and left the palace, heading towards Prince Fu'an's palace.
When the second prince arrived at Prince Fu'an's mansion, Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue were in the pavilion in the center of the lake, eating snacks and fishing.
Yuan Bohua vowed to return the big fish that Zhou Qiongyue had gotten away with, but after almost a morning, there were still a few palm-sized fish in Zhou Qiongyue's bucket.
Yuan Bohua didn't even have a small fish, so Zhou Qiongyue couldn't help but make fun of Yuan Bohua.
When the two of them were arguing with each other, Fang Fu came to report, "The Second Prince is here."
"Okay, the freeloaders are here." If there weren't mobile phones in this era, Zhou Qiongyue would have suspected that it was her own prince who had called her second cousin to come to the rescue. Otherwise, how could he have arrived so timely?
Yuan Bohua and Zhou Qiongyue could only agree to compete in the afternoon, so Yuan Bohua helped Zhou Qiongyue stand up.
Zhou Qiongyue stood there and looked around. She thought the scenery around the pavilion was pretty nice, so she said, "Let's stretch our legs! I'll have someone set up lunch in this pavilion later."
So when the second prince went up to the pavilion, he saw his ruthless friend, smiling and holding his cousin, slowly turning in circles in the pavilion.
The second prince also saw the things displayed in the pavilion, all kinds of food, reclining chairs, fur mats, and blankets for leg resting. He was jealous just looking at them these days.
However, the Second Prince felt a rare sense of calm as he watched Yuan Bohua carefully supporting his cousin. His friend had been so wise his entire life, yet in the end, he was still controlled by his cousin!
If this wasn't his cousin, he would have said, "Beauty is a disaster."
The Second Prince found a place to sit down and said, "My cousin, you are living a good life!"
Zhou Qiongyue looked back at her second cousin's expression and saw that he was frowning and obviously looked unhappy.
Zhou Qiongyue certainly wouldn't think that it was her and the prince who had offended her second cousin, so it must be something else. Zhou Qiongyue was someone who wanted to be a close cousin, so she immediately said:
"Second cousin is in a bad mood! Do you want me to step aside for a moment so you can have a drink with the prince?"
The Second Prince forced a smile, then saw Yuan Bohua glaring at him. He quickly added a compliment, "My cousin is becoming more discerning."
Zhou Qiongyue thought it was better not to praise him. She simply waved her fist at the Second Prince and left with Gulan and the others.
What kind of intimate cousin is that? She can’t be like that for even a moment.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue left, the Second Prince lay down where Yuan Bohua had just been fishing. "You haven't been attending court lately, but just been playing this with your cousin in the mansion?"
As the second prince spoke, he reached out and pulled the fishing rod in the water next to him, and then Yuan Bohua's face became even more sour.
Yuan Bohua's fishing rod, which hadn't caught any fish that morning, now held a fish weighing about two kilograms. The Second Prince simply pulled it up casually.
Yuan Bohua felt that this was completely off the mark.
The Second Prince looked at his friend, whose expression was even more grumpy than his, and asked, puzzled, "Are you annoyed that I disturbed you and your cousin?"
After the Second Prince asked this question, he looked at Yuan Bohua with a look that said, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Yuan Bohua's confidant Fang Fu quickly came out to explain on his master's behalf, "Replying to the Second Prince, our prince didn't catch any fish this morning, and the princess just scolded him! Now that you're here..."
The Second Prince understood what Fang Fu said next, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that you, Yuan Bohua, would also fail sometimes."
The second prince was really happy at this time, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot in an instant.
Yuan Bohua sat down with a cold face where Zhou Qiongyue had just sat. "Aren't you here to drink? Do you want to drink?"
"Drink! Take out some of the good wine that your cousin has stored, and let's get drunk together." The second prince quickly made a request.
Yuan Bohua glanced at his friend speechlessly, "You wanted to drink Yue'er's good wine, why did you provoke her just now?"
The Second Prince wasn't worried about that! He was still very confident in their brother-sister relationship, "My cousin won't really hold a grudge against me."
What could Yuan Bohua do? Seeing his friend's expression, he probably thought he was here to drink with him. He could only turn around and tell Fang Fu, "Fang Fu, go tell the princess to bring some good wine."
The Second Prince saw that Yuan Bohua didn't ask anything and asked someone to get some wine. The Second Prince felt very warmed and said, "Fu'an, you are more loyal."
Yuan Bohua just snorted arrogantly and didn't bother to argue with the second prince.
The Second Prince understood that the worse his mood, the more unpleasant his words would be. Even when he praised you, you felt he was mocking you.
The waiters nearby quickly arranged for the kitchen to serve dishes, fruits and snacks.
After lunch was served, Yuan Bohua and the second prince sat at the table, each with a large bowl of dry food.
Originally, the Second Prince thought that he and Yuan Bohua could drink together for half the afternoon.
The result was that each of them drank two large bowls of wine and ate a little bit of food. Before they could even get their tempers worked up, they both passed out drunk on the table.
Zhou Qiongyue received the report from her servant and smiled triumphantly. These two people knew nothing about her good wine, yet they dared to ask for it.
However, she still ordered Gulan to take people to arrange for the second prince and Yuan Bohua to rest in the front yard.
By the time the Second Prince and Yuan Bohua sobered up, it was already midnight. Zhou Qiongyue had already fallen asleep in the backyard.
The Second Prince and Yuan Bohua both had headaches and were hungry, so they had no choice but to get together again.
But this time, neither of them dared to order wine, so they just ate the delicious food on the table.
The Second Prince was originally quite unhappy, but after this move, he felt that it was nothing. Mainly because he felt that his good friend's life was not so easy either.
My cousin is still as tough as ever.
With someone to compare himself with, the second prince felt that he could stand up again.
"Why are you bothering your cousin?" Yuan Bohua teased the second prince beside him while eating.
"How dare you say that? You're already married, and even the princess can't control you..."
Before the Second Prince finished speaking, he heard his friend reply, "Think it over before you speak. If the Queen hears you..."
The Second Prince thought about his mother's expression and tactfully kept his mouth shut. He really didn't dare challenge his mother's authority.
Afterwards, the second prince and Yuan Bohua ate and talked, mainly recalling their wonderful childhood. As they talked about the past, time passed quickly and dawn came before they knew it.
The second prince went directly to court from Prince Fu'an's Mansion, while Yuan Bohua continued to take a nap in the front yard.
