After Prince Rong saw him return home, even the princess looked at him with curiosity. Prince Rong could only sigh in his heart again, "Father is not a human being."
However, Prince Rong still recounted the entire story from beginning to end to satisfy his princess's curiosity.
Prince Rong treats his own princess very well, which is a world of difference compared to how he treats the women in his backyard.
Prince Rong was afraid that the rumor would affect him, so he took the princess to live in a farm outside the city the next day.
Because Prince Rong only brought Princess Rong with him this time, Princess Rong was very happy and didn't seem to be reluctant to leave Yuan'an.
When the rumors about Yuan An became more and more outrageous, the emperor finally issued an imperial decree, the central idea of which was that "Li Shuwan is the daughter of the late emperor who was exiled, and she shall be given the title of Princess Shuwan."
The Emperor took pity on Princess Shuwan's frail health and ordered her to rest in the imperial mausoleum and return to Yuan'an only after she had recovered.
As for Kong Xinlian, the emperor did not acknowledge her identity, mainly because Kong Xinlian was indeed unpopular.
The emperor felt that since his father had not thought of this person in all those years, it meant that this person was not important to his father.
The emperor didn't want to see this person doing something stupid on such an important occasion.
As soon as this imperial edict came out, the hearts of many girls in Yuan'an were broken again. It seemed that it was still difficult to enter Prince Fu'an's Mansion!
There are also those who speculate too much and think that Li Shuwan is the child of Prince Fu'an, but the emperor arranged her under the name of the late emperor because he was afraid that the princess would be angry.
But such idiots are a minority after all.
Normal people understand that the royal bloodline cannot be mixed up and is strictly checked. There is no way such a possibility would occur.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua also knew about the various gossips circulating in Yuan An, but they didn't care about them. They even sent people out every day to find out the news and report back.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua drank tea and listened to the news, and lived happily.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua were in no rush to return to Yuan'an, and instead simply wandered around the farm, enjoying themselves in their own happy world.
Afterwards, Prince Rong and his wife also came to live in a nearby farm, and Zhou Qiongyue's life became even more lively.
The four of them often made appointments to accompany the Queen Mother, and often made appointments to go hunting in the mountains. Occasionally, the four of them would go up the mountain together to look for wild mushrooms and vegetables.
But Zhou Qiongyue only enjoys the joy of finding wild mushrooms. She doesn't let anyone cook them for her, mainly because she doesn't know them and Zhou Qiongyue values her life.
Prince Rong's wife was from a family of military generals and was a very straightforward person. After playing together a few times, Zhou Qiongyue and Prince Rong's wife Mu Yunrong got along very well.
After that, Zhou Qiongyue and Mu Yunrong spent more time together playing around the mountains, and Yuan Bohua looked at Prince Rong with increasing dissatisfaction day by day.
Yuan Bohua didn't want to drink tea, climb mountains and ride horses with Li Jingyu every day. He had had enough of this guy during those years of fighting.
Prince Rong certainly knew what Yuan Bohua was thinking, but he had no choice since his cousin liked to play with his princess.
Prince Rong felt that he couldn't afford to offend those two people. Yuan Bohua didn't fight for it with his cousin himself, but only spoke in a sarcastic way to him. Prince Rong ignored this guy who could only bully him.
These comfortable days passed quickly, and soon half a year had passed.
During the past six months, Zhou Qiongyue received many letters, some from her father, some from her two children, some from her adopted son, and occasionally from Rong Ge'er from her eldest brother's family.
She also received a lot of gifts. Her father, two children, and her adopted son would buy anything rare wherever they went and ask the post station to send it back to her.
During these six months, the thing that made Zhou Qiongyue and the Queen Mother happiest was that Prince Rong's wife Mu Yunrong was pregnant. This was Prince Rong's first child.
Six months had passed, and Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua were ready to pack up and return to Yuan'an. Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang were coming back, and Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua missed their children and wanted to see them the moment they returned.
When Prince Rong and Princess Rong saw that Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua were going back to Yuan'an, they also ordered their people to pack up and return to Yuan'an City with Zhou Qiongyue and his wife.
After all, Mu Yunrong is pregnant, so it would be more convenient to go back to Yuan'an and ask the imperial physician for help at any time.
Originally, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua had deliberately gone back a few days earlier, planning to have people clean up the palace after returning home, and then go to the city gate to pick up the two brats.
What Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua didn't expect was that when they returned to the palace and got off the carriage, they saw two handsome young men smiling at them not far away.
When Zhou Qiongyue saw them, she immediately ran over with a smile and hugged the two children. "You two little rascals, you came back early and didn't even bother to tell me and your father."
Zhou Qiongyue complained with a smile and patted Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang on the back.
"This is a surprise, you know?" Yuan Chaochang said as he ran over and hugged his father.
Yuan Chaokang smiled and let his mother look him over. "Mother, I haven't seen our son for half a year. Do you think he's become more handsome?"
Zhou Qiongyue, like all mothers who haven't seen their children for a long time, had only four words to say when she saw her child: "He's thinner and darker."
When Yuan Chaokang heard his mother say this, he did not refute it. Instead, he lowered his head coquettishly, leaned on Zhou Qiongyue's shoulder, and said affectionately: "Then my mother asked Gu Yu to make something delicious to nourish my son."
Zhou Qiongyue also enjoyed the feeling that her son needed her. "Okay, Mother, ask Gu Yu to make more food that you and Chang'er like."
Yuan Bohua, who was standing next to him, was still asking Yuan Chaochang about something that happened on the road when he saw his youngest son rest his head on his princess's shoulder.
Yuan Bohua immediately strode towards his youngest son and pulled Yuan Chaokang's head out.
Although Yuan Chaokang cooperated with his father's actions, "It hurts, it hurts, mother, please take care of father!"
"You are almost seventeen, and you are still clinging to your mother! Stand still." Yuan Bohua felt that it would be better for him not to respond to this little rival!
Yuan Chaokang retorted plausibly, "No matter how old I am, I am still my mother's child."
"My brother is right." Yuan Chaochang immediately stood on his brother's side, without any awareness of the pleasant conversation he had just had with his father.
Yuan Bohua turned to look at Zhou Qiongyue, as if to discuss something with her, "Yue'er, I think my parents-in-law are getting old enough to enjoy having a lot of company. How about sending these two over to show our filial piety?"
Yuan Chaokang was the one who contradicted his father. "I think my grandfather would definitely like my father to fulfill his filial duty. Otherwise, mother, you can send my father to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion. I will protect you then!"
Yuan Chaochang nodded in agreement, "Brother, what you said makes sense!"
