Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

The Seventh Prince sensed the deeper meaning in Ye Youlan's words and quickly said, "I don't have anything I particularly like."

"Your Highness, you forgot that you can't eat spicy food. You prefer light food. Even when you're eating snacks, you don't like sweet food. And you can't eat grapes. If you eat them, your face will get red."

The Queen Mother was very satisfied: "Look how well Yue'er understands Ke'er. Ke'er needs someone like this to take care of his daily life."

"As people grow older, their tastes change. I like spicy food, and I see that the prince enjoys it, too. My favorite cloud cake is especially sweet, and the prince always eats more than me."

"Eating and drinking like that is not good for your health. You can't let guests eat the same food as you in the future. Ren Yue, you make a list of the guest's food and let him take it back. No, you go to the palace and personally instruct the kitchen maid."

The Seventh Prince said, "No need."

Ye Youlan stopped him: "Mother loves you, and your sister cares about you. If you don't appreciate it, you are ignorant."

Ye Youlan looked at Ren Yue: "Then I'll have to trouble you, sister."

The Queen Mother was in a very good mood. She smiled and said, "It's great to see you and Yue'er getting along like sisters. It would be great to be a family in the future."

Ye Youlan put away her smile: "We are a family now. Sister cares about her brother, so the sister-in-law will definitely care about her even more. So I plan to introduce a man to my sister. Anyway, I will take care of her marriage."

The emperor pursed his lips and ate slowly. This scene was interesting and he loved watching it.

The Queen Mother looked at Ye Youlan: "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand, but have you forgotten, Mother? You personally issued the imperial decree that the prince and I are not to have another woman in this lifetime."

"Ren Yue doesn't need a formal status, she just needs to move to the palace."

Ye Youlan put down her chopsticks, glanced at the Seventh Prince, then glanced at Ren Yue. Seeing that her eyebrows were drooping, she must be very embarrassed!

"What does the prince think?"

The Seventh Prince looked at his mother solemnly: "I will obey your majesty's order. Ye Youlan will be my only love for the rest of my life."

The Queen Mother's expression changed and she was about to get angry, but Ye Youlan looked at her with a smile: "I have a good idea that will satisfy everyone."

Everyone looked at her.

Ye Youlan looked at the emperor who was enjoying the show with a bit of shame: "Why not ask the emperor to take Ren Yue into the palace? After all, there are many women in the harem, so one more is not too many. If I stay in the palace, I can talk to the queen mother. With the queen mother's protection, no one dares to say anything to me."

"How could a widow like her enter the harem?"

"Mother, what you said, if she can't enter the harem, can she enter the palace? We are both sons, how can you favor one over the other?"

The emperor was almost choked by her words. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, said he had finished eating, and went back.

Ren Yue also said awkwardly that she would step aside first.

There were only three people left in the dining hall. The Queen Mother slammed the table in anger and said, "Ask the nobles in the capital, which man only has one woman, not to mention that the guest is a prince."

"Youlan really can't understand why Queen Mother is so determined to force women onto the prince's side. And they're all your nieces, too. They're clearly excellent, so why are you so obsessed with keeping them by the prince's side without any status or standing? Are you considering their well-being?"

"I trust Ke'er, and they like Ke'er too."

"But have you ever asked the prince what he thinks? You consider your niece, but have you ever considered your son?"

"you!"

Ye Youlan continued, "Mother, are you jealous of the affection between the prince and me? Are you always trying to make things difficult for us?"

"You're talking nonsense! No one in this world wants my guest to be happy more than I do."

"If your mother truly wishes your son happiness, then don't bother with this. I still say that there are many women in the harem, and one more is not too many. Your Highness and I will take our leave."

Ye Youlan took the prince's hand and walked out. The empress dowager was so angry that her face was distorted. She looked at the backs of the two men angrily, and her fingers left marks.

There were palace maids waiting for them outside, saying that the emperor was waiting in the imperial study!

The two of them went to the imperial study to meet the emperor. The emperor smiled and asked Ye Youlan if she wanted to die by daring to talk back to the empress dowager like that?

Ye Youlan smiled: "Aren't we a family? It's not like we can just talk casually. I regret it now. I hope Your Majesty can persuade my mother more."

The Emperor laughed heartily and looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "Now I understand why you like her."

Ye Youlan asked back, "Did the Emperor also think that I was not worthy of His Majesty from the beginning?"

The emperor waved his hand: "I didn't say you were bad, I was just curious about what kind of woman he likes."

"Your Majesty, I'm just wondering, how many nieces does the Queen Mother have? And don't you have any nieces in your harem?"

"I have a harem now, and I will have one in the future."

Ye Youlan gave the emperor a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor asked the palace servants to take out a gift for Ye Youlan, saying it was for Prince Hong. It was a dagger. Ye Youlan pulled it out and saw that the blade was sharp and the scabbard was inlaid with gems. It was obvious that it was carefully selected.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. When it's your birthday, the prince will carefully prepare a generous gift for you."

The emperor chuckled, "The sixth day of next month, which is half a month from now. I'm really looking forward to it."

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Ye Youlan couldn't help but take out the dagger and said, "Your Majesty, give me this dagger! I'll keep it for self-defense."

The Seventh Prince held Ye Youlan in his arms: "Take it!"

"Why are you unhappy? Are you sorry that Ren Yue didn't come with you? You didn't expect that you would marry her when you were a child."

The Seventh Prince sneered and said, "I have never said this before. Ren Yue is Ren Qishan's eldest daughter. I wonder why she suddenly entered the palace?"

"Your mother is a pervert. She didn't receive favor from the late emperor, and she thinks it's because she gave birth to you, so she can't bear to see you live a good life. She also designed Li Da to defile Yi Lan. Maybe the late emperor knew about this, so he dislikes her."

The Seventh Prince remained silent.

"Do you think the Emperor is aware of the Empress Dowager's actions, or is he feigning ignorance? The Emperor's initial success in ascending to the throne was undoubtedly due to the Empress Dowager's manipulations behind the scenes. So, is their current rift real or fake?"

Ye Youlan slapped her head and said, "I'm not suited to palace fighting. I'm the type who would die in the first episode after entering the palace."

The Seventh Prince glanced at Ye Youlan, who yawned, "I'm sleepy. I'll take a nap first."

The Seventh Prince bent down and kissed her hair, then asked in her ear, "What's your gift for me?"

"We'll find out tonight."

"But I want to know now."

"curiosity kills the cat."

"If you don't tell me, I'll have to take action in the carriage."

Ye Youlan opened her eyes and warned him, "Don't ruin my mood, or I'll do anything in the carriage, and we'll be embarrassed together."
