The emperor accepted his friend's attitude very well. After all, he couldn't handle his cousin's temper.
It was normal for the emperor to feel that Yuan Bohua was uncontrollable.
However, when the emperor and Yuan Bohua were walking on the road, the emperor corrected Yuan Bohua's address and said, "Why call me emperor? Either call me brother or cousin."
Yuan Bohua didn't want to argue with the emperor about this issue, so he changed his address and said, "Yes, my royal brother!"
When the emperor and Yuan Bohua arrived at Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang's vegetable garden, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang were weeding in the garden.
The emperor did not let Eunuch Hou and others say anything. He simply lifted up his robe and tucked it around his waist, then went down to help Zhou Qiongyue pull out the weeds.
Yuan Bohua didn't have time to stop him, so he followed him down.
As for the eunuchs who wanted to follow, they were stopped by Yuan Bohua's words, "The princess doesn't want others to help with the work."
Those who understand the underlying meaning will understand that even if the emperor leaves, Princess Fu'an may be unhappy, so they should not cause trouble.
There were suddenly two more people in the field. How could Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang not know about it? They immediately bowed.
The emperor quickly stopped him, "No, no! I haven't experienced the joy of farming for a long time. I want to experience it today."
Zhou Qiongyue, who knew the emperor's true purpose, didn't want to let go of the person who offered him a taste of life. "Cousin Emperor, please do as you please. I just don't know if you can clearly distinguish between vegetables and grass?"
Speaking of this, the emperor was not convinced and felt that his cousin was looking down on him. Had he never eaten pork, or seen a pig run?
Then the emperor looked down and realized that he had never seen a pig run.
The emperor could only ignore his cousin's expression of watching the fun, and looked at Yuan Bohua with a curious look, motioning him to come over quickly and explain the ins and outs of this.
The emperor had given orders, and Yuan Bohua couldn't pretend he didn't understand. A couple always has to have one person play the good cop and the other the bad cop.
So Yuan Bohua immediately stepped forward to point out to the emperor which ones were grass and which ones were vegetables. The emperor also felt that he had broadened his horizons.
The emperor couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel like I haven't tried many of these dishes?"
"Many of my ministers have never eaten them. Some of them are wild vegetables." Yuan Bohua explained without any guilt. All the vegetables he had never seen were wild vegetables.
As for where the princess got the seeds, Yuan Bohua also knew this. Every time she went to Yuan'an Market, the princess always liked to buy some strange seeds, and she believed whatever others said.
She insisted on buying some and growing them to eat. Yuan Bohua couldn't understand the princess's hobby, but he supported her.
Anyway, someone has tasted it in advance, so it won’t harm the princess. As long as the princess is happy, that’s all that matters.
The emperor was also convinced by Yuan Bohua's explanation, and began to pull out weeds with great interest.
While pulling out the weeds, he whispered to Yuan Bohua, "You said I want to pull out some of my cousin's vegetables to eat later. What will my cousin do?"
Yuan Bohua pointed to the growing area opposite and said, "Those grown ones over there should be no problem for you to eat, my royal brother, but these half-grown seedlings..."
At this point, Yuan Bohua paused and said two words, "That's tough!"
The emperor looked in the direction Yuan Bohua pointed and saw that there were many varieties of vegetables on the field that he had never seen before. He was happy and said, "It's okay to eat that one."
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang, mother and son, who were not far away, rolled their eyes at the same time when they heard what the emperor and Yuan Bohua said.
I'm already thinking about eating before I even start working.
The work in the fields looks simple, but it is not easy to do it.
After Zhou Qiongyue and the other three finished the work on the land, the emperor felt that his waist and hands were no longer his own, and he felt even more tired than when he was practicing martial arts.
This is a real job, not something you can just pull out casually.
The emperor felt that he couldn't afford to lose face, as his cousin said that his work was not as good as hers. So he worked seriously and carefully.
After pulling out the weeds, the four people sat down on the ground next to the vegetable patch and drank the water handed to them by the servants. At this moment, none of them felt how noble their status was.
The emperor looked at the results of his work this afternoon and felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Cousin, I want to try some of your rare dishes for dinner." The emperor added, fearing Zhou Qiongyue might misunderstand, "Forget about those that haven't grown up yet."
Seeing that the emperor had really worked with her for the entire afternoon, Zhou Qiongyue felt embarrassed not to give the emperor some food, so she ordered Gu Le, who was standing next to her, to take people to pick some and send them to Gu Yu, who was good at cooking, to cook.
When the emperor saw Gu Le taking people to pick vegetables, he instantly stopped feeling tired. He stood up and followed Gu Le with great interest to see how they picked vegetables.
This made Gu Le and his group of vegetable pickers very nervous, fearing that they would pick the wrong ones and be blamed by the emperor.
Eunuch Hou, who had been waiting by the side, saw the emperor like this and couldn't help but wonder if the emperor still remembered the purpose of his leaving the palace today?
The emperor must remember the purpose of his leaving the palace today, but he just hasn't found the opportunity to say it yet.
After they finished their dinner, Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang left.
The emperor then spoke: "Cousin, I want you and Lord Li to jointly manage my property. What do you think?"
Zhou Qiong didn't even have to think about the monthly exam and directly refused it, "It's not very good, I don't care."
The emperor's face was full of smiles, and his tone was so gentle that even the eunuchs beside him felt goosebumps:
"Cousin, what do you need? Can we talk some more?"
"Cousin, I really like my current life. I'm really tired of managing your property for all those years. Now I feel like vomiting when I see all those yellow and white things. Even my dowry is managed by the prince."
Zhou Qiongyue's words were very clear, "I don't even want to earn money for myself, let alone for others?"
In fact, Zhou Qiongyue’s dowry is now managed by Yuan Chaokang and Gulan. Zhou Qiongyue really doesn’t manage it, so Yuan Bohua just takes on the title of being in charge.
The emperor increased the stakes again. He didn't believe that even with all this, his cousin and best friend wouldn't be tempted. Two princes in one family, what a great honor! "Cousin, if you can stay in charge for a few more years, I'll make that brat Yuan Chaokang a prince!"
Zhou Qiongyue was not moved at all. "Not interested! Kang'er's ideal is to be a playboy. Being a prince is enough for him to live a carefree life."
The emperor could only look at Yuan Bohua again, and Yuan Bohua quickly stated, "I will listen to the princess and Kang'er."

"No? I can understand why you listen to your cousin, but why do you listen to that kid Yuan Chaokang?" The emperor felt that his friend must have become stupid from fighting in the wars over the years. How could a father want to listen to his son's opinion?
Yuan Bohua said with good reason, "If a cow doesn't want to drink water, I can't force it! Kang'er wants to be a playboy. As his parents, we praise him so highly. In the long run, it's not a good thing."
