The emperor wanted someone to drink with him, and Yuan Bohua really had no way to refuse. However, he still asked the eunuch next to him in a gentle tone in front of the emperor, "Eunuch, please send someone to the palace to tell the princess that I will be back in the evening."
Eunuch Hou first looked at the emperor obscurely, and when he saw him waved at him, he bowed to Yuan Bohua and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go and inform you personally."
After Eunuch Hou finished speaking, he bowed and retreated.
Yuan Bohua smiled and sat down at the seat below the emperor, personally taking the wine jug to pour wine for the emperor.
The emperor held the wine poured by Yuan Bohua and said harshly, "Now you have to report to your princess even how long you have been away from home? How can you be so cowardly as a prince?"
Yuan Bohua smiled and set a trap for the emperor, "How about your Majesty give me an imperial edict, saying 'Princess Shuxian will be under the care of her husband, Prince Fu'an'. I think my princess won't dare to disobey the order."
The wine that the emperor had just drunk was sprayed out with a "puff".
Yuan Bohua, who had been prepared, nimbly dodged. Not only did he dodge, he also looked at the emperor with a look that said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
The emperor coughed hard twice before recovering. The first thing he did after recovering was to look at Yuan Bohua with an incredible look. He was silent for a long time and only managed to say one sentence, "You really dare to think so!"
Yuan Bohua did not look guilty at all. Instead, he calmly instructed the waiter next to him to wipe the table, and then sat back down.
Yuan Bohua still looked helpless. "Now that the atmosphere is right, I'll just take advantage of the situation and ask for your help. What if the Emperor relents and agrees?"
The emperor thought about the consequences if he agreed, and unconsciously gathered his cloak, "I am soft-hearted, not crazy. If I really gave you this imperial decree, don't even think about how my cousin would come to me and make trouble.
I'm afraid my mother will chase me and beat me up, and that brat Li Jingyu, if he makes a scene, he'll even tear down my imperial study.
What's more, she is my cousin, the one who grew up with me.
I can't afford to offend you, so don't come to me for this kind of thing."
Yuan Bohua took the initiative to fill the emperor's glass again. "Isn't this because your Majesty is teasing me, so I came to you for your decision?"
The emperor looked at Yuan Bohua suspiciously, holding a glass of wine in his hand, his face full of deep thought.
This really made Yuan Bohua look terrified. Yuan Bohua unconsciously straightened his appearance and asked in confusion, "Why is the emperor looking at me like this?"
The emperor became more and more suspicious as he looked at her. "My dear, are you really not doing anything behind my cousin's back?"
The emperor was thinking at this moment, if Fu'an really did something to let his cousin down, how could he convey the message to his cousin without making any expression.
As for making decisions for his cousin, the emperor felt that his cousin, a werewolf, would not be in a situation where he needed help to make decisions.
Yuan Bohua was so shocked by the emperor's words that he almost jumped up, "Your Majesty, please don't hurt me. I was just joking and I really didn't have any other thoughts.
Princess Weichen is not only gentle and virtuous, but also intelligent, has a good family background, and... "
Yuan Bohua felt that he could count countless advantages of his princess with his eyes closed. With such a pearl in front of him, other women would not catch his eye at all.
Seeing that Yuan Bohua was getting more and more outrageous, the emperor took the initiative to raise his glass and clinked it with Yuan Bohua, "Stop, let's go!"
Yuan Bohua could only stop talking and started drinking with the emperor while holding his glass.
The Emperor and Yuan Bohua both drank a few glasses. Under the influence of alcohol, the Emperor tried to test the waters, half in earnest and half in falsetto:
"I feel like you, Fu'an, have become distant from me since you came down from the battlefield."
Yuan Bohua spoke sincerely, "It's mainly because I'm afraid of the emperor, so you're trying to get me to promote your princess."
Speaking of this, the emperor was a little dissatisfied. Why did his cousin and his wife dislike his daughter so much? "Although my eldest princess has a bad character, is a little self-righteous, and has no brains, she still has her merits..."
Yuan Bohua, now under the influence of alcohol, also started arguing with the emperor, "Then your Majesty, tell me about my strengths?"
The emperor thought about how the eldest princess always showed concern for him, and the first thing that came to his mind was, "filial piety!"
"The eldest princess even dares to disobey the Queen Mother!" Yuan Bohua is trying to sabotage her.
The emperor was choked by Yuan Bohua, and he couldn't swallow his anger. He was ready to say a few more words in one breath, but ended up holding it in for a long time. "That Shi Huan also..."
The emperor couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective at this moment, and finally he could only say, "Noble status!"
Yuan Bohua didn't take it seriously, but still gave the emperor a way out, "Oh, those two boys in my family are out of their league, the one the emperor found is quite good."
Yuan Bohua felt that the third place winner was unlucky, even though Princess Shang had achieved great success. However, it was said that the eldest princess did not give her husband any face at all, and would even beat and scold him when she was in a bad mood.
The palace had more and more good-looking male musicians, and all the nobles in Yuan'an were laughing at the royal family's joke.
The emperor had also heard about what was happening in his daughter's house, but he didn't care about it.
That was of course due to a father's partiality. When the emperor heard his friend mention his daughter's husband, he really couldn't say with a clear conscience how good the husband's life was.
The emperor finally sighed, "Children are all debts."
The emperor had said this, and Yuan Bohua wisely stopped talking and just held up the wine glass and drank with the emperor.
Seeing Yuan Bohua remained silent, the Emperor asked, "Speaking of which, isn't your Chang'er going to take the imperial examination this year? Why is he still out playing with Marquis Cheng'en?"
Yuan Bohua had no objection to his father-in-law's arrangement, and was even grateful that his father-in-law had considered him and Yue'er so carefully:
"Chang'er is young and energetic. After three years of settling down, he'll only be 19. It would be good for him to go out with his father-in-law and broaden his horizons."
Although the emperor did not believe that the doctors in the folk could figure out a way to prevent smallpox, he couldn't help but look forward to it!
"Do you think what my uncle said is true?"
Yuan Bohua pretended to think seriously, then hesitantly said, "I think it might be true. After all, there are always people better than you! And if it is true, it will also be a good thing for Tianyuan Kingdom."
After hearing what Yuan Bohua said, the emperor couldn't help but waver in his heart, "Then should I send someone to take a look too?"
Yuan Bohua swung his wine glass, looking like a dandy. "Your Majesty, please send someone to check it out. Even if it's fake, it's worth it to see the joke of my father-in-law being deceived."
The emperor was indeed amused by Yuan Bohua's words. After laughing, the emperor agreed with Yuan Bohua's words, "I have to say, Fu'an is right."
Afterwards, Yuan Bohua and the emperor drank a lot of wine and tried to test each other's words.
