Zhou Qiongyue picked out a female jade pendant for her granddaughter and a sharp-looking sword for Yuan Bohua, then took Yuan Yixuan out of the palace.
Although Yuan Bohua can no longer kill ten people with a single move, he still enjoys collecting all kinds of fine swords. From time to time, he takes out his collection of swords and polishes them one by one to show them off.
So Zhou Qiongyue often helps Yuan Bohua keep an eye out for various good swords.
The imperial edict conferring the title of Princess on Yuan Yixuan was addressed to Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Yixuan. Not long after they returned home, the edict from the palace arrived at the palace.
After receiving the imperial edict, everyone in the two mansions was happy except for the daughters of Yuan Chaokang's concubines, who felt that their grandmother was partial to them.
However, even if they were jealous and resentful, it was useless. They didn't dare to show it, and it wouldn't affect Zhou Qiongyue at all.
The nobles of Yuan'an once again witnessed the importance of their cousin Zhou Qiongyue.
Many families who had not proposed marriage to the Cheng'en Marquisate because of the rumors at the time now regretted it again. This wasn't just marrying a mistress; it was marrying the wealth and glory of future generations!
All of a sudden, a lot of people were eyeing the marriage of Yuan Yixuan, who was only six years old.
Six-year-old Yuan Yixuan was also very happy. She already knew what it meant to be crowned a princess. Yuan Yixuan hugged Zhou Qiongyue and acted coquettishly, making Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua laugh.
Yuan Bohua was so happy today that he generously invited Yuan Chaochang's eldest son Yuan Hanyu, Yuan Chaokang's eldest son Yuan Hantao, and Yuan Yixuan to enter the place where he hid his swords and pick out a good sword.
Yuan Hanyu and the other two were of course happy, as they had been coveting their grandfather's sword for a long time.
Yuan Bohua felt even happier when he saw his grandson and granddaughter happy.
As soon as Yuan Yixuan was named a princess, all kinds of posts flew into the hands of Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua like snowflakes.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua were so annoyed that they took Yuan Yixuan and the court doctor to live back at the farm.
Yuan Yixuan hadn't been sick much since she'd been with Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua. This was probably because Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua didn't restrict her from having fun.
Especially when she arrived at the farm, Yuan Yixuan was like a bird set free, and was extremely happy every day.
The only thing that left Zhou Qiongyue speechless was that Yuan Chaokang came looking for her just one day after she and the prince arrived at the farm.
It’s still the same old routine, staying in the farm and occasionally going back to Yuan’an to deal with things.
Zhou Qiongyue sometimes wanted to ask her youngest son whether all his private businesses had lost money, otherwise why was he so idle.
However, Zhou Qiongyue is a sensible person and of course she wouldn't ask.
They would definitely be unhappy if their son was not filial, but Zhou Qiongyue was also worried about Yuan Chaokang being so filial. She was afraid that he would delay her son's important work.
Yuan Chaokang didn't care about that! Anyway, he just wanted to accompany his mother and father, especially since his mother and father were getting older day by day, and the panic in his heart was getting worse.
He only feels at ease when he is with his parents.
Yuan Bohua was also feeling panicked. His health was getting worse year by year, and he now had the same worries as his father-in-law before: he couldn't afford to die, and he didn't want to die.
When he was young, he never regretted blocking the fatal blow for the late emperor. But now, Yuan Bohua knew clearly in his heart that he regretted it.
Maybe this is the horror of human nature!
So, except for Yuan Yixuan, the other four people living together in the manor all have their own troubles.
But no matter what Zhou Qiongyue and the others thought, they still had to live their lives as usual.
On this day, Zhou Qiongyue and a few others were picking vegetables in the vegetable garden when they heard a group of people hurried into the farm.
Everyone was shocked. Yuan Bohua and Yuan Chaokang both protected Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Yixuan behind them without hesitation.
When the group of people approached, they could see clearly that they were from the palace. The leader was Eunuch Gan, the godson of Eunuch Hou. Zhou Qiongyue and the others also recognized him.
Yuan Bohua spoke first, "Eunuch Gan, what happened?"
Eunuch Gan led a group of people to pay their respects, "Your Highness, the Emperor is in trouble. The Emperor has summoned you and the Princess to the palace immediately."
Zhou Qiongyue and the other two were extremely shocked, wondering what had happened to the emperor that made it so urgent.
Seeing that Prince Fu'an and the princess did not move, Eunuch Gan thought that they did not believe it, so he quickly took out the emperor's secret decree, stepped forward alone, and respectfully handed it to Prince Fu'an with both hands.
After Yuan Bohua looked at it, he handed it directly to Yuan Chaokang. Yuan Chaokang observed it again and again and found that it was not fake, so he nodded to his father and mother.
Yuan Bohua then took Zhou Qiongyue's hand and followed Eunuch Gan.
Although they also took a carriage, they really drove straight to the palace without stopping. If Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua's special carriage had not been improved, they would have been torn apart.
The more hurried they were, the more worried Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua became about what had happened to the emperor.
When Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua arrived, they saw the emperor lying on the dragon bed, with princes and ministers of the royal family kneeling on the ground in front of the bed.
Zhou Qiongyue quickly stepped forward and knelt in front of the emperor's bed, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
The anxiety on Zhou Qiongyue's face was real. Although this cousin was often useless, it had to be said that this cousin also protected him a lot.
When the emperor heard Zhou Qiongyue's voice, he slowly opened his eyes, "Cousin, you're back! I've already explained everything I need to do and am waiting for you.
If I don't see you before I die, I'm afraid I'll be beaten when my mother asks about it."
The emperor had always been afraid of death, but at this moment, he wasn't afraid anymore. There was even a hint of relief in his tone, as if it was just retribution. The previous emperor had died at the hands of his son, and now he had died at the hands of his concubines.
