Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Ye Youlan put on the mask and disappeared into the crowd, and the Seventh Prince followed her.

"Are you very sad? Why don't you say anything?"

Ye Youlan suddenly stopped and the Seventh Prince almost bumped into her.

"How could I be angry? I just want to laugh, do you understand?"

The Seventh Prince couldn't see Ye Youlan's expression under the mask, but he felt that Ye Youlan was very angry.

"I was mad at myself. I wanted to take revenge on Li Zong, but I ended up taking advantage of Qin Yurou. Even though they'd been flirting with each other right under my nose, I still didn't want to see Qin Yurou get hurt here."

The Seventh Prince held Ye Youlan in his arms and comforted her: "Sometimes we can't even decide our own lives, how can we be responsible for the lives of others?"

Ye Youlan tried to break free from the embrace, but the Seventh Prince held her even tighter.

"This is on the street."

"He's wearing a mask!"

Ye Youlan laughed: "You are trying to cover up your mistake."

The Seventh Prince took Ye Youlan to the private room of Tianxiang Tower and asked Ye Youlan to give him the purse.

Ye Youlan took off her mask and looked around the room with a smile: "How much wealth do you have?"

The Seventh Prince said proudly, "This is half of the street."

Ye Youlan said, "Don't laugh when I take out your purse."

The Seventh Prince already had a big smile on his face, but he promised not to laugh.

Ye Youlan took out a lake green purse from her sleeve. The opening of the purse had a blue drawstring that could be opened with a pull.

The Seventh Prince took it and couldn't let it go. He pointed at the pattern on the lower left corner of the purse and asked, "Is this the orchid you embroidered? Why does it look like this?"

Ye Youlan couldn't suppress her smile and explained, "This LK is not orchid, it's a nickname for your name. I am this YYL." Ye Youlan turned the purse over and pointed to the lower left corner of the other side.

"Remember this from now on. This is your name, and this is my name. You and I are the only ones in this world who can understand it. I invented it, and it's unique."

The Seventh Prince looked at Ye Youlan with great pride, and his heart was filled with joy. Although he was sure that this was a lie made up by Ye Youlan because she didn't know how to embroider orchids, he still nodded and remembered it.

It was getting late, and Ye Youlan wanted to go back. The Seventh Prince was reluctant to let her go and wanted to send her back.

Ye Youlan forbade him to follow.

"Remember, you and I have nothing to do with each other. We don't know each other. Just ask a secret guard to send me back."

The smile on the Seventh Prince's face froze there, and his heart felt like it was hit by a stone, and it hurt a lot.

"Why are you pretending not to know me? Are you still suspicious that I've touched other women?"

Ye Youlan realized that her words had hurt him. She patted the Seventh Prince's hand, but he held it instead.

"Your philandering nature is your shield, but it also creates a huge chasm between us. We have a lot to deal with right now, so it's right to keep a low profile."

The Seventh Prince understood that Ye Youlan was right. It would be difficult for him to be with Ye Youlan. First of all, it would be difficult to pass the hurdle of becoming the Prime Minister.

"But what should I do if I want to see you?"

Ye Youlan was a little shy: "The yard next to the Prime Minister's Mansion is idle. You can buy it or rent it. The back doors of the two houses are right next to each other."

The prince was delighted when he heard this and he immediately asked someone to do it.

Ye Youlan returned to the Prime Minister's residence. She gently pushed the back door, but it wouldn't open. She pushed harder, but it still wouldn't open. She could only look at a figure in the shadows in the distance and said, "Brother, please help me."

Ye Youlan didn't see anything before she heard the back door creak open. It was the secret guard who jumped in and opened the door from the inside. Ye Youlan didn't relax until she returned to her room. She lay in bed, tossing and turning in bliss, unable to fall asleep.

In the morning, Xiaomei came to serve Ye Youlan and said that someone was moving next door and there was a lot of noise.

Ye Youlan was stunned for a moment. This Seventh Prince was so quick. Could it be that he sold the house in the middle of the night?

Ye Youlan pretended to be curious: "Who is next door?"

Xiaomei smiled and said, "I heard from the cook that they are a family from out of town who came to Beijing to do business."

After a simple breakfast, Ye Youlan said that she had eaten too much and wanted to go for a walk in the garden.

Xiaomei followed her to a pavilion in the garden. Next to the pavilion was a wall, and on the other side of the wall was the new neighbor's house. Various green vines climbed up the gray wall.

Ye Youlan walked along the wall, then dug through the grass to see if there was a dog hole, but unfortunately there was none.

Xiaomei noticed that the young lady was behaving strangely and asked her what she was doing?

Ye Youlan pointed at the pavilion and said, "Ask the people in the mansion to clean this place up, get rid of the weeds, and build a swing here."

Xiaomei frowned: "Miss, aren't you the one who hates swinging the most?"

"Swinging is so much fun, how could I possibly be bored with swinging?"

Xiaomei grumbled, "You went to the Jin residence to find Miss Ruoyun and saw her swinging on the swing, and you still said it was childish."

Ye Youlan coughed to hide her embarrassment: "Is it not okay for me to have a swing now?"

Xiaomei was still very obedient and went to find the manager.

By the afternoon, the courtyard wall had transformed. A pavilion was covered with curtains, and next to it was a small swing. In front of the swing was an open space paved with bluestone bricks, a simple and elegant space. There was a long table, flanked by two long benches.

Ye Youlan was very satisfied. She asked Xiaomei to invite her sister-in-law to come over. It was particularly pleasant to read, drink tea and do needlework here in the autumn afternoon.

The eldest sister-in-law brought her maid over and liked it very much. She said it reminded her of her own small courtyard.

So the four of them chatted while doing handicrafts.

The autumn sun is warm but not harsh, and the breeze is gentle.

In the evening, the prime minister returned home. Ye Youlan went to the study to see her father and told him that she would not marry Li Zong.

The Prime Minister was not surprised at all. He looked at his daughter calmly and asked, "Why are you bringing this up so suddenly?"

"Last night I was secretly visiting the night market and saw Li Zong and Qin Yurou holding hands. I can't marry a man who doesn't have me in his heart."

The Prime Minister frowned slightly after hearing this. He looked at his daughter with heartache and said, "I understand. You are still young. There is no need to rush to get married. Let's take our time to choose."

Ye Youlan smiled when she heard it: "Thank you, Dad. I knew that you loved me the most."

Before leaving the study, Ye Youlan took out a purse and handed it to her father: "Dad, this is a purse I embroidered. I put some herbs in it. It has the effect of refreshing the mind. But you can't think it's ugly. I have tried my best."

The Prime Minister touched the wrinkled purse, his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled: "There is progress."

Ye Youlan originally wanted to remind her father to be more careful when dealing with Minister Li, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. After all, her father had been in the court for decades and had walked more bridges than she had walked roads.

The Seventh Prince was sitting in the room next door, listening to the secret guard's report. Knowing what Ye Youlan had done today, he couldn't wait to see Ye Youlan.

"Do you want me to pass on a message?"

"Let's wait for her to contact me!"
