The emperor saw Zhou Qiongyue's expression change from being on the verge of death to smiling in a second. He watched Zhou Qiongyue's performance with amusement and thought it was quite interesting.
At this time, he actually liked this little girl, who was bold and flexible, but it was a pity that she was not his daughter. However, the emperor felt that he could not bear the blessing of having her as his daughter-in-law.
He was very busy every day and didn't want to bother his son with household chores. Furthermore, seeing Yue Yatou's behavior, she didn't seem like someone who could tolerate others. He suddenly felt a little guilty towards Yuan Bohua.
However, the emperor comforted himself that this marriage was requested by Yuan Bohua himself and had nothing to do with him.
"Girl Yue, get up quickly!" After the emperor gave Zhou Qiongyue his instructions, he looked at the incredulous third brother, Li Jingbai, and said, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you apologize to your cousin?"
If the Queen and the others were not still there, he really wanted to scold his son day after day. Doesn't he have any vision?
"Father..." The Third Prince didn't want to apologize. He hadn't been the first to strike, and his status was higher than Zhou Qiongyue's. Father hadn't punished that bitch Zhou Qiongyue for her crimes, had even conferred her the title of Princess, and now he was asking her to apologize.
The emperor closed his eyes and scolded, "Shut up and apologize!"
At this moment, the emperor was thinking that since the death of Consort De, the third son had become increasingly stupid. But it was precisely because his son no longer had a mother that he, as a father, could not be too harsh on him.
As I said, whoever has a son will feel sorry for him.
The Third Prince couldn't understand his father's painstaking efforts at this moment, but under his father's pressure, he still bowed earnestly to Zhou Qiongyue and apologized, "I'm wrong this time. Cousin, please don't argue with me."
"Okay! Okay! We're all relatives, but next time Third Cousin wants to fight, don't come to me. I'm weak and can't take a beating."
After Zhou Qiongyue calmly confronted the Third Prince, she immediately acted like a delicate woman.
Seeing how quickly her niece's expression changed, the queen couldn't help but smile while covering her face with the teacup.
The Third Prince quickly took a few steps back, fearing that Zhou Qiongyue would frame him again in front of everyone. He felt that he had been frustrated enough today and was determined not to let Zhou Qiongyue take advantage of him again.
Only the fifth prince went over to support Zhou Qiongyue with a worried look on his face, "Cousin, where does it hurt? Are you really hurt? Cousin..."
The Emperor didn't want to see his two sons do stupid things again, so he quickly interrupted the Fifth Prince's rambling, "Yue girl and Bai'er, you two should go down and let the imperial physician take a look!"
"Your servant, I will take my leave!"
Zhou Qiongyue and the three princes bowed and left immediately, leaving only the queen behind.
Originally, the Queen also wanted to go out to see how Yue'er was doing, but the Emperor was holding her hand under the dragon table, obviously not wanting her to leave, so she could only sit here and accompany him.
After the children had left, the Queen smiled and looked at the Emperor, "Your Majesty, is there anything you want me to do here?"
The emperor patted the queen's hand and said, "I just want to talk to you."
The queen smiled and nodded, looking as if waiting for what would happen next.
"How come Yue girl's temper is getting worse and worse? You should persuade her more often!" The emperor felt that even for the sake of Yuan Bohua's dead parents, he should say this to the queen.
The Queen smiled coquettishly at the Emperor, "Your Majesty, you are biased! You have watched Yue grow up!"
The emperor felt a little embarrassed when he heard what the queen said, and touched his nose, saying, "You also know Yuan Bohua's situation. I am afraid of letting down his family who died in the battle."
The Queen thought that the Emperor was worried that Zhou Qiongyue would be unreasonable and so she explained on her behalf:
"Your Majesty, rest assured! Yue'er is very reasonable even if no one messes with her. It's just that my brother and I have only had Yue'er for so many years, so it's inevitable that we pamper her a little more.
But Yue'er is not the type to be indiscriminate about right and wrong."
"I'm not worried about that. I'm confident in the character of you and Wen Can. What I'm worried about is that Yue girl doesn't seem to be someone who can tolerate others."
The queen looked at the emperor speechlessly. This guy not only had to worry about the major affairs of the court, but also had to control whether his ministers took concubines.
"What's that expression on your face?" The emperor looked back at the queen unconvinced.
The Queen thought for a moment and then spoke frankly, "Your Majesty, it's too early for you to worry about this. If the couple is living happily together and has children, it would be a bit nosy of you to talk about this."
The man wanted to take a concubine, and the woman could not stop him. The final decision on this matter still lay in the hands of Prince Fu'an.
Sometimes, this kind of care doesn’t have to be all-encompassing.”
Sometimes the queen really wants to confront the emperor directly. He has three palaces and six courtyards, so he thinks all men like more women.
The Queen said that with so many women, there would be so much trouble. She just didn't believe that there were no men in the world who liked peace and quiet.
The emperor thought about what the queen said and he actually felt that it made sense. He sighed and said, "Only Shi'er dared to tell me the truth."
The emperor thought that if it were anyone else, they would immediately praise their niece for being so virtuous and generous. Only the queen would tell her not to be annoying.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't know that after they left, the emperor and the empress talked about her and whether they would tolerate Yuan Bohua having a concubine.
At this time, Zhou Qiongyue and the third prince came out of the imperial study. The third prince snorted coldly at Zhou Qiongyue and the other two, and left without saying goodbye.
