Zhou Qiongyue was calm when she received the emperor's imperial edict of punishment. She had thought about it before. If the emperor's punishment was too severe, she would go on strike and start living in retirement in the mansion.
Anyway, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up! It doesn't necessarily have to be her.
After all, in the book, even without her, the crisis of Tianyuan Kingdom was still overcome.
Fortunately, the emperor did not disappoint Zhou Qiongyue too much, and the punishment was not too severe.
But Zhou Qiongyue still doesn't know whether it is the emperor who wants the "worldly fireworks" or Concubine Rong.
So Zhou Qiongyue decided not to take any big action until she figured out the matter.
She was willing to earn money for the Tianyuan Kingdom and was willing to ask her cousin for help, but this did not mean that she was willing to earn money for the emperor to raise his illegitimate son.
She even earned property for the emperor so that he could use it to please his concubines. Zhou Qiongyue wasn't bored and had nothing to do, so what did the emperor's beauties have to do with her?
The gap between these is not a little bit.
Marquis Cheng'en and Lady Jin were relieved when they received the Emperor's punishment for Zhou Qiongyue. It was Lady Jin who was relieved, as Marquis Cheng'en Zhou Wencan was quite calm.
Zhou Wencan knew that his daughter was earning money for the national treasury, and the money earned from worldly affairs was not going into his daughter's pocket.
The emperor has always been a person who values the country. As long as you are useful to the country, a little temper is nothing.
But my daughter has offended the Fourth Prince so much that she needs to be more careful in the future. After all, it's better to be mindful of thieves than to be stealing.
Zhou Wencan thought about this and suddenly realized that his daughter had quite a few enemies. For some reason, Concubine Xie kept staring at his daughter.
Last time, my daughter offended the third prince, and this time she offended the fourth prince.
Zhou Wencan felt that he should write a letter to his eldest son and son-in-law, asking them to work hard, otherwise Zhou Wencan would really worry that his daughter would be plotted against.
By the way, we must also pay attention to the children’s education. It’s time to teach Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang more other things.
When Zhou Wencan thought of this, he couldn't wait to get up and go back to the front yard to write a letter to his good eldest son and son-in-law.
Seeing Zhou Wencan suddenly stand up and walk out, Jin asked, "What is the Marquis going to do now?"
Jin's tone was not very good, mainly because she misunderstood Zhou Wencan. Such a big thing happened to her daughter today, but he still had the mood to hang out with other concubines in the backyard.
Zhou Wencan didn't know what Jin was thinking. Seeing her bad tone, he thought it was because Jin was worried about her daughter.
Zhou Wencan patiently explained, "I want to go back to the front yard and write a letter to Yi'er and the prince, asking them to work hard to make meritorious deeds outside so that they can support Yue'er in the future.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to handle Yue’er’s offending rate.”
Seeing the Marquis seriously planning for their daughter, Jin finally smiled for the first time that day.
Jin couldn't help but explain for her daughter: "How can it be so exaggerated, Lord? Our daughter is so well behaved and never takes the initiative to provoke others."
"Well, she never tolerates being provoked. I don't know who she resembles."
Zhou Wencan had just finished muttering when he saw his wife staring at him with a smile in her eyes.
Zhou Wencan could only touch his nose in frustration and said, "Just act like your husband, act like your husband, that's all!"
"Then my Lord, please advise Yue'er not to rush into things on her own. It will only offend everyone and won't do her any good. What if someone gets desperate and takes action?"
Jin was really impressed by these masters. Not only did she have to worry about Zhou Wencan every day, she also had to worry about her eldest son who was outside, and now she had to worry about her daughter.
Among the family members, no one is worry-free except Zhou Zhiquan.
Since his wife had said so, Marquis Cheng'en could only agree, "Next time I'll talk to my daughter and ask her to be more restrained!"
After hearing what her husband said, Jin quickly added, "You can't be too restrained. What if you get bullied?"
Marquis Cheng'en...
Of course, Zhou Qiongyue didn't know the reactions of the people around her. The emperor confined her to the mansion, so she stayed there obediently.
With Gulan watching over the business outside, nothing will go wrong in the short term.
She played with Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang every day, taught them to read, and told them stories.
Even the real child Yuan Chaochang couldn't help but wonder: "Mother, aren't you busy now?"
Yuan Chaokang had wanted to ask this question for a long time, and when his brother asked him, he also looked up at his mother, waiting for her explanation.
Zhou Qiongyue had no intention of perfunctorily answering the children. She didn't care whether Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang understood or not, and simply explained, "The Emperor has issued an order to confine Mother for six months, so Mother will have time to accompany you two for the next six months."
Yuan Chaochang really didn't understand, but he knew his mother would be with him and his brother for a long time, so he was very happy, "That's great!"
After yelling, Yuan Chaochang even stood up and ran around the room excitedly twice.
Yuan Chaokang, who was not a real child, looked at his mother worriedly and could not say anything happy.
Zhou Qiongyue reached out and touched the top of Yuan Chaokang's head. "Mother has time to spend with you two. Kang'er, aren't you happy?"
Yuan Chaokang was silent for a moment, then immediately brought up his fifth uncle, "Mother, I'm not a one-year-old child anymore. I'm already over three years old.
My fifth uncle told me that house arrest is a punishment, and the emperor’s house arrest is even more of a punishment.
Mother, is someone bullying you?"
Zhou Qiongyue was really amused by Yuan Chaokang this time, especially when her youngest son had a serious face, she found it even funnier.
Zhou Qiongyue was laughing so hard that she fell down. It was the funniest thing when a child pretended to be an adult.
"Mother..." Yuan Chaokang sounded helpless like a little adult.
"Okay, okay, Mother, stop laughing. These things are for adults, and they're complicated to explain. You'll understand them when you grow up. Now you just need to grow up well.
As for the rest, your father and I will take care of it!"
Zhou Qiongyue hopes that children can have a few years of carefree childhood, because when they grow up, they can't go back to being children.
So even though Yuan Chaokang looks very smart, Zhou Qiongyue has no intention of forcing him to learn too much.
Yuan Chaokang didn't think about having a carefree childhood, although he really thought about it when he was most tired and helpless in his previous life.
But when the child is too bored, he will get tired of playing all these games.
Yuan Chaokang sighed helplessly, feeling rather narcissistic in his heart, 'My mother loves him and his brother too much, so he should try to be a child for my mother's sake!'
Yuan Chaokang was still thinking, wondering when his father would return. Whenever he was away, someone would bully his mother. Don't think he didn't know, he had overheard a lot of news in the past few days, that someone was trying to steal his mother's business.
Although Zhou Qiongyue didn't know what her youngest son was thinking, she could see that Yuan Chaokang had begun to have his own ideas.
Zhou Qiongyue was proud of her son's intelligence, but also worried that she could not protect him.
