The biggest topic in Yuan'an recently is that the Queen Mother, Prince Fu'an, Prince Rong, Marquis Cheng'en and their entourage have all returned to Yuan'an.
But this topic didn't last long, and something more exciting happened. The Queen Mother was going to choose a wife for Prince Rong and hold a grand flower-viewing banquet in the palace.
Although Prince Rong has many women in his harem and he is a little older, Prince Rong's family has no heirs, and the choice of a princess is superb, who can not be tempted!
The most important thing is that the Crown Prince of Fu'an and the Prince of Yi have reached the age of marriage. Princess Yongchun's only son Sun Yuancheng and the eldest grandson of Marquis Cheng'en Zhou Yirong have also reached the age. Who wouldn't be tempted if they have daughters of marriageable age?
When Zhou Qiongyue received a message from the Empress Dowager in the palace asking her to go to the palace on the day of the flower viewing banquet, she knew that her aunt wanted her to choose between the two children.
After all, all the outstanding women from the Yuan'an noble families were in the palace that day, so of course they had to seize the opportunity to see if there was anyone suitable.
However, Zhou Qiongyue still has to ask her two children for their opinions on such matters.
So the same process was followed as before. Zhou Qiongyue asked Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang while they were having dinner together.
Why ask at dinner time? The main reason is that Yuan Chaochang studies in the study in the front yard during the day, and does not eat breakfast or lunch with Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua.
When Yuan Chaokang came back, he was busy with business matters outside and building relationships with different playboys, so he was basically not in the house during the day.
So Zhou Qiongyue could only ask when the family was having dinner together.
Zhou Qiongyue waited until everyone had put down their chopsticks and started drinking their hot tea before she asked, "The palace is hosting a flower viewing banquet in a couple of days. What kind of queen would you two like? Or do you have a woman you like? If so, tell me. If it's suitable, I'll make the decision for you."
It’s not that Zhou Qiongyue has to rush this matter, it’s mainly because the two children are old enough, and if she doesn’t quickly pick one she likes and settle on it, who knows how many troubles will arise later!
Yuan Bohua was the first to speak out: "It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Just pick the one you like. Why ask them both?"
Brothers Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang felt that what their father said made sense and were about to nod.
Zhou Qiongyue reached out and patted Yuan Bohua, her tone very unfriendly: "What are you talking about? You didn't tell me, what do you mean by choose the one I like?"
Zhou Qiongyue felt that the prince was really a double standard. When he chose a princess, he would always choose the one he liked. But when it came to his two sons' turn, he asked them to choose the one she liked.
Yuan Bohua looked at the princess's eyes and could only deflect the pressure. He glared at his two sons and said, "Did you two hear what your mother said? If you have any requests, please tell me quickly."
Yuan Chaokang was not shy about this, and he no longer had the impulse of youthful admiration. He said directly: "My son likes smart women, not the self-righteous ones. They also need to be tolerant. I am a playboy of Yuan An, and it is impossible for me to have only one wife in the future."
Yuan Chaokang added in his mind, "It's possible that I'll have to frequently visit brothels. If the wife minds and makes a fuss every day, then life will be unbearable."
After listening to his youngest son, Yuan Bohua looked at Zhou Qiongyue flatteringly, "Can we find this?"
In fact, Yuan Bohua was afraid that Zhou Qiongyue would be angry. Yuan Bohua was afraid that because he didn't have a concubine or something, Yue'er would also want to ask her son to do the same.
Yuan Bohua was afraid that the mother and son would quarrel again.
To a certain extent, Yuan Bohua dotes on his two sons as much as Zhou Qiongyue, and he also considers his sons in many aspects.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't have as many thoughts as Yuan Bohua. Her only request to her son was not to make trouble in front of her and not to hurt the reputation of the queen.
As for the others, her sons' wives couldn't control them, and neither could she, as their mother. Zhou Qiongyue could only ensure that she didn't actively insert anyone into her sons' rooms.
Zhou Qiongyue frowned deeply after hearing Yuan Chaokang's request. "Your requirements are quite high. I may not be able to find someone who meets your requirements. If you have someone you like, you can tell me."
"Mother, please feel free to choose. If there is no suitable one, then just do as Father said and choose someone you like and your son will like it too."
Yuan Chaokang said this and thought so in his heart.
If he can't find someone smart enough, someone his mother likes and can make her happy every day, he will treat her well.
Zhou Qiongyue first glared at Yuan Bohua, her meaning was very clear, she was blaming him for his nonsense just now. How could you choose the main concubine based on what the mother concubine likes?
Then Zhou Qiongyue explained to Yuan Chaokang, "As long as you two like it, Mother will like it. Even if Mother really doesn't like it, it doesn't matter. She doesn't live with Mother and Princess alone."
Mother and your father are here! You two should have your own opinions in life."
What Zhou Qiongyue didn't say was that if the prince really couldn't get along with her, she would take him to live in another courtyard so that she wouldn't have to see him and be bothered by him.
Yuan Chaokang really liked his mother in this life and cared about their feelings. "Don't worry, mother. I won't let myself suffer."
Zhou Qiongyue smiled and nodded in agreement, then turned her gaze to Yuan Chaochang again.
Yuan Chaochang's face was still red at this time. Young people of this age are always shy when talking about getting married.
If it weren't for his second brother Yuan Chaokang's calm look, Yuan Chaochang would have slipped away long ago.
How could I ask him about such a thing! Shouldn't my father and mother be the decision-makers?
However, under the gaze of his father, mother, and younger brother, Yuan Chaochang, with the idea of saying it sooner rather than later, blushed and said:
"I like my mother-consort. I don't like those who are petty. Especially since I only have one younger brother, I don't want my future princess to alienate my brother and me for a little thing."
Over the years, Yuan Chaochang has been the eldest prince's study companion in the palace, and he has seen and heard many dirty things.
But their mansion is different from other mansions. There are only his father, mother and younger brother in their mansion. His younger brother has the same father and mother. Yuan Chaochang does not want to lose his younger brother, nor does he want his father and mother to be sad about the choice between them in the future.
Therefore, his wife must not be the kind of woman who is petty and calculative.
In Yuan Chaochang's heart, his mother is the best candidate to be the queen.
In fact, Yuan Chaochang has seen a lot of women fighting for favor in the palace over the years. He doesn't want to have a bunch of women in his backyard in the future, making it a mess.
Yuan Bohua directly reached out and slapped Yuan Chaochang on the head, gloating and saying, "Oh, your requirements are even higher than your brother's. There is probably no woman as good as your mother in this world."
Yuan Chaochang's first reaction was to cover his head. The longer Yuan Chaochang spent with his father, the less afraid he was of him. He even dared to complain pitifully to his mother:
"Mother, look at your father. He bullies your son right in front of you. Please stop him!"
