Zhou Qiongyue and her husband had lunch with Yuan Chaokang, and talked about some interesting things that Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua had encountered outside in recent years.
In addition to talking about some things that happened around him and his elder brother in recent years, Yuan Chaokang also emphasized that the emperor had asked about the return date of his "mother and father" on several important occasions.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"It seems that the princess, the emperor's cousin, misses you very much?"
"It seems that your former good friend misses you quite a bit?"
"Puff" Yuan Chaokang, who was watching the show, saw that his father and mother had no tacit understanding, and laughed happily while holding his teacup.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua both glared at the unfortunate child at the same time.
Yuan Chaokang forced himself to stop laughing, "I'm laughing because my father and mother didn't guess correctly."
"Kang'er, tell me what you think." Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua have not been in Yuan'an for more than two years, and they really don't know a lot of news.
Zhou Qiongyue thought that something important had happened to Yuan An again and she didn't know about it.
Yuan Chaokang didn't hide anything and said directly, "My son secretly inquired about the assets of that person's private treasury. There was no one at the door. I'm afraid that person is short of money."
"Oh!"
Zhou Qiongyue only said this one word, and that was her attitude.
Yuan Chaokang knew that his father and mother were both promising men, so he skipped the topic and turned to the question that concerned him most:
"Have Father and Mother been away on a long journey recently?"
Zhou Qiongyue found it quite funny to see Yuan Chaokang looking as if he wanted to go with them if they went out.
However, Zhou Qiongyue still said truthfully: "No, I will never leave Yuan'an in the future.
It is said that one should not travel far away when his parents are still alive. Your grandparents are also old.
From now on I will stay in Yuan'an to accompany them.
As time goes by, your father and I will be old, and you will be worried about us going on a long journey, right?"
Yuan Bohua also added: "That's why your mother and I walked a little further apart this time."
When Yuan Chaokang heard his mother and father say this, he was visibly happy.
He didn't engage in false pretenses and said frankly, "I just like my father and mother to be with my brother and me in Yuan'an."
Yuan Bohua glared at Yuan Chaokang. His son had grown up so much, yet he still clung to Yue'er. He didn't believe that he liked his father and mother to be with him!
Yuan Bohua felt that this brat just wanted the princess to be with him.
Yuan Bohua advised his youngest son with the air of an experienced person, "You are also a family man. If you have time, spend more time with your princess and children, and don't get close to me and your mother."
Yuan Chaokang knew his father was being petty again, so he didn't argue with him. He just didn't listen to his father's words.
Zhou Qiongyue was afraid that the father and son would blush upon seeing each other, so she quickly stood up to smooth things over. "Alright, you'll have plenty of time in Yuan'an in the future! Let's go back to the palace first! Otherwise, your eldest son will come hug your legs and cry again."
Yuan Bohua...all his sons are debt collectors.
Yuan Chaokang was thinking at this moment, if he also cried, what were the chances of his father and mother staying alive?
In the end, Yuan Chaokang still couldn't bear to part with his face! In the end, the eldest brother won this round.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua, accompanied by servants and several carts of luggage, had just walked out of Prince Yi's door when they saw Yuan Chaochang dismounting.
When Yuan Chaochang saw his father and mother's carriage, he laughed so hard that his eyes and nose disappeared.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua looked very disgusted with Yuan Chaochang's behavior.
But they were both very happy in their hearts. Who doesn’t want their son to be filial?
The two mansions were originally close to each other, and it didn't take long for the carriage to enter the palace.
As soon as Zhou Qiongyue got off the carriage, she saw Gong Lianyu bowing with a big belly.
Gulan quickly stepped forward and helped the Crown Prince's wife up steadily.
Zhou Qiongyue went over to support Gong Lianyu's other side and comforted her, "Mother and your father know that you are filial. You are so advanced in pregnancy, so don't worry about these red tape. Your health is more important."
Although Gong Lianyu hadn't spent much time with her mother-in-law, she had always been gentle with her. Even after not seeing each other for over two years, Gong Lianyu and Zhou Qiongyue spoke with a sense of closeness. "I always listen to my mother."
Zhou Qiongyue had just talked to her younger son and already knew about the concerns of her eldest son and his wife.
Zhou Qiongyue gently patted Gong Lianyu's hand, "Don't worry, your mother is back, just take good care of her. Your mother and your father will take care of everything!"
Gong Lianyu replied with a "hmm" with red eyes. Maybe it was because of her pregnancy, but the usually strong girl was now feeling very emotional.
Gong Lianyu was under a lot of pressure these days. She was afraid of giving birth suddenly and something might happen. She was also worried that the prince would be around her every day and delay the imperial examination.
Zhou Qiongyue pretended not to notice Gong Lianyu's choked voice and walked forward with her arm in hers as usual.
Zhou Qiongyue occasionally talked about some interesting things that she and the prince encountered on the road, and it didn't take long before Gong Lianyu was amused and laughed.
Zhou Qiongyue and her husband, and Yuan Chaochang and his wife had dinner together.
After they finished, they didn't chat for long before Zhou Qiongyue sent Yuan Chaochang and Gong Lianyu downstairs to rest.
The next morning, Zhou Qiongyue took over the household affairs of the palace. She had not been in charge of this matter for many years. Ever since Yuan Chaokang became sensible, he had been in charge.
Zhou Qiongyue suddenly had to start again and was quite troubled for a while.
Because his mother had returned and there was someone in the mansion to take charge of the overall situation, Yuan Chaochang could also make time to go out and ask the teacher for advice on writing.
Gong Lianyu truly understood what it meant to say, "An old man in the family is a treasure." She didn't have to worry about anything every day, just eating, drinking, and taking care of the baby.
After Zhou Qiongyue came back and rested for a day, she submitted a letter and went to the palace to see the empress dowager.
The imperial examination is about to begin, and with so many people coming and going outside Yuan'an City, it's inevitable that things will be a bit chaotic.
The Emperor was afraid that something might happen to the Empress Dowager, so he went to the other courtyard to ask her to return to the palace for a while. The Empress Dowager had no choice but to return to the palace.
Zhou Qiongyue went to the harem to visit the empress dowager. Yuan Bohua came back and also wanted to go to the palace to pay his respects to the emperor.
So this morning, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua went out together.
After Zhou Qiongyue paid her respects, she looked up and saw the Empress Dowager for the first time. There was surprise and heartache in her eyes.
When the Queen Mother saw her niece like this, she smiled and walked forward, took Zhou Qiongyue's hand, and pulled Zhou Qiongyue to sit next to her.
The Queen Mother took Zhou Qiongyue's hand affectionately and advised: "What kind of look is that? No one will never age."
"But..." Zhou Qiongyue looked at her aunt with white hair and a bad spirit, and wanted to know what had happened in the past two years?
The Queen Mother, of course, saw through her niece's thoughts and looked at the rain outside the window, "Nothing happened, Yue'er, don't worry.
It’s just that there are too many good days, and it’s a bit boring.”
