Before Zhou Qiongyue could react, she saw Sun Yuancheng running away with a few snacks.
She looked at Sun Yuancheng's back and muttered amusedly, "He's still as impetuous as ever!"
Just as Zhou Qiongyue finished muttering, Yuan Bohua came in again in a hurry.
Yuan Bohua sat down again where Sun Yuancheng had just sat and asked curiously, "Why did Cheng'er come and then run away? Is there something urgent?"
Yuan Chaochang casually explained for his friend, "He's anxious to go back and see his aunt, the princess!"
Yuan Bohua thought that Sun Yuancheng had come here to pay his respects before going to see the princess first. So it was normal for him to rush back, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Zhou Qiongyue looked Yuan Bohua up and down, and silently moved some of Yuan Bohua's favorite snacks toward him: "Your Highness has lost a lot of weight!"
"It's okay, just take some time to rest." After saying this, Yuan Bohua started to eat the snack in front of him. It had been a long time since he had eaten the food made by the princess, and he really missed it.
Especially when I’m hungry in the middle of the night, I miss the pastries from the princess the most.
Seeing his father eating so happily, Yuan Chaochang also started eating voraciously.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang only took a piece occasionally, and watched elegantly as Yuan Bohua and Yuan Chaochang devoured all the snacks on the table like a whirlwind.
Zhou Qiongyue then asked curiously, "What did the emperor reward the prince with this time?"
Yuan Bohua said as he drank the digestive tea slowly: "There are a lot of rare treasures, all of them are heirlooms."
"Why don't you just say it can't be sold and can only be displayed!" Zhou Qiongyue pouted. In her opinion, it would be better for the emperor to reward her with a few boxes of gold.
This kind of home-made item might be considered precious by those who don't have it. It can be kept as a family heirloom or displayed to show off at a critical moment.
But who in their family doesn't have a lot of homemade stuff? There are too many of these things, and they are useless.
"The princess is still so cute!" Yuan Bohua said, and took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Qiongyue.
Zhou Qiongyue glanced at Yuan Bohua and asked curiously, "Cousin is so generous this time that he promoted Kang'er to the rank of prince?"
Yuan Bohua felt that his princess was really bold. She had just been calling the emperor "Emperor", but now after seeing the imperial edict, she called her cousin: "What are you thinking about? You will know after reading it."
Before Zhou Qiongyue opened it, two more heads came over to her.
Obviously, the brothers Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang were also very curious.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the Yuan Chaochang brothers with amusement, and without saying anything, she opened it in front of them.
The imperial edict mainly stated that Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang were allowed to marry in the future, and that Prince Fu'an and Princess Fu'an would be the decision makers and the emperor would grant the marriage.
After reading it, Yuan Chaokang said, "This reward is not bad."
Zhou Qiongyue was also quite satisfied. "Did my cousin give it to me on his own initiative?"
Yuan Bohua said matter-of-factly, "The emperor asked me what reward I wanted, and I asked for it."
At that time, the emperor recommended his eldest princess to Yuan Bohua, but Yuan Bohua firmly refused.
After the emperor sighed, he still gave Yuan Bohua the imperial edict.
The only condition the emperor gave for this imperial edict was that Yuan Bohua keep secret the fact that he recommended the eldest princess to Prince Fu'an's Mansion.
The emperor was afraid that his cousin would find out and come to the palace to make trouble with him again.
The emperor had just lost a large sum of money while Quan Yuanan and the palace were fighting smallpox, and he didn't want to lose money again.
So Yuan Bohua didn't mention this matter.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiongyue first complained in her heart about the emperor's stinginess, and then she praised Yuan Bohua's request highly, "But the emperor once issued an imperial decree that Kang'er could marry on his own, so you're at a loss!"
Yuan Bohua didn't care about this and said: "Let the emperor make the money."
When Sun Yuancheng ran back, Princess Yongchun and her husband were leaning against each other, watching the singing and dancing affectionately. Sun Yuancheng suddenly appeared behind them.
It also scared Princess Yongchun and the other person.
Princess Yongchun looked at her son in confusion: "Didn't you go to your stepmother's place? Why are you back again? Did you forget something?"
Sun Yuancheng forced his father to squeeze aside and sit directly between Princess Yongchun and her husband. "I suddenly felt that I hadn't seen a dancer dance for a long time.
I wonder if these dancers can dance as well as the ones kept in the princess's mansion."
After Sun Yuancheng sat down, he picked grapes and told the dancer to continue dancing.
Sun Yuancheng still looked spineless, leaning on his husband from time to time.
Princess Yongchun and her husband looked at each other, neither of them knowing what this kid was up to, so they could only let him do as he pleased.
Prince Consort Sun couldn't help but say, "Can you have some backbone and sit down properly?"
"I don't!" Sun Yuancheng looked helpless.
Sun Changkun really had no way to deal with this son and could only let him rely on him.
Sun Yuancheng leaned on his father and indeed felt that his father had lost a lot of weight. The feeling of leaning on him was different, and his eyes became red again.
Princess Yongchun and her family of three enjoyed singing and dancing while eating, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Afterwards, Princess Yongchun and Zhou Qiongyue did not rush back and played on the farm for a few more months.
Zhou Qiongyue still received an urgent letter from her father, Marquis Cheng'en, saying that her grandfather was critically ill and asked her to return to Yuan'an quickly. Zhou Qiongyue ordered people to pack up and rushed back that day.
Zhou Qiongyue did not return to the palace, but took the prince and the child directly to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion.
When Zhou Qiongyue arrived, her father, Marquis Cheng'en, was waiting for her at the main gate.
Seeing Zhou Qiongyue arrive, he immediately led her to the courtyard where her grandmother lived before her death.
The prince, Yuan Chaochang, and Yuan Chaokang were led to another place. The main reason was that although the three of them were younger generations, they had high status!
Zhou Qiongyue followed her father and as soon as she entered the house, she saw her second uncle and third uncle kneeling in the house.
Zhou Qiongyue walked to her grandfather's bedside and looked at the skinny old man. She followed her father and knelt beside her grandfather's bed, saying softly:
"Grandfather, I'm Yue'er, I'm here."
The old marquis struggled for a moment and opened his eyes. "Is it Yue'er?"
Zhou Qiongyue looked at her grandfather like this, and she couldn't help but feel sad: "Grandfather, it's me!"
"I'll give you your grandmother's jewelry. From now on... from now on, please take good care of your uncle!"
The old marquis said this while looking at Zhou Qiongyue with his eyes open, as if he would not close his eyes unless she agreed, and he held on with difficulty.
Zhou Qiongyue was a little moved when she heard the first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, all the emotion disappeared.
Although she is a bit kind, she will not be morally kidnapped by anyone.
Zhou Qiongyue felt that if she had known that her grandfather wanted to see her before his death so that she could take care of her third uncle, she would never have come back: "Then let the grandfather be given to the third uncle! The granddaughter doesn't want him."
