Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

The Emperor was delighted and rewarded! The princes and princesses received rewards, as did their mothers. Ye Youlan was even more so. Not long after she and the Seventh Prince returned to the palace, the rewards from the palace arrived.

Ye Youlan and Xiaomei were counting the rewards and putting them into the warehouse. After the inventory, they returned to the house and found that the Seventh Prince was not there. She called Li Yi and asked where the Seventh Prince was.

Li Yi said that the Seventh Prince was taking a bath.

Ye Youlan asked Li Yi to prepare bath water for Xiaomei. Xiaomei had been very busy in the palace these days.

Li Yi blushed and ran away.

Ye Youlan pushed open the bathroom door and saw the Seventh Prince resting his hands on the bathtub with his eyes closed, his arm muscles flowing smoothly.

Ye Youlan stretched out her slender hands to cover the Seventh Prince's eyes from behind and asked in a gentle voice, "My Lord, do you need me to help you take a bath?"

The Seventh Prince did not move, but said quietly: "You finally remembered me."

Ye Youlan gently patted his shoulder: "I find you are so petty?"

"I'm just narrow-minded. I thought the happy birthday was just for me. I didn't expect you to spend so much time and effort on the emperor. The emperor was very pleased and rewarded you so much. Are you very happy?"

Ye Youlan threw the soft cloth into the Seventh Prince's bathtub and said, "I am indeed very happy. I will count the rewards again now. No, I will count them every day."

The Seventh Prince became anxious when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and grabbed Ye Youlan: "Help me take a bath."

Seeing him naked, Ye Youlan blushed with shame, her heart pounding. She turned away and said, "You'd better lie down in the bathtub!"

The Seventh Prince looked down at himself, lay down again, and pulled Ye Youlan up with him, splashing water everywhere.

"The princess is a bit heavy!"

Ye Youlan hastily denied: "I'm not heavy, it's my clothes that are heavy because they're wet."

"Then I will help the princess take off her clothes."

Before the Seventh Prince finished speaking, he took off her clothes like peeling a rice dumpling.

Ye Youlan covered his eyes with her hands to prevent him from seeing.

As the two of them were entangled in each other, Xiaomei's voice sounded outside at an inopportune time: "Princess, the hot water is ready."

"Do you think Xiaomei is a little stupid?"

"Don't talk, just focus."

The next day, Ye Youlan slept until she woke up naturally. When Xiaomei came in, Ye Youlan stared at Xiaomei and asked her if she had a problem with hot water.

Xiaomei looked bewildered: "Princess, what did I do wrong?"

"You're right, you did a good job."

Xiaomei smiled and said flatteringly, "Last night Li Yi said the prince was taking a bath, so I quickly prepared hot water. I thought you must need it."

Ye Youlan smiled helplessly: "Don't you and Li Yi need hot water?"

Xiaomei said seriously, "Yes, we need it. We can prepare it ourselves."

Ye Youlan asked Xiaomei curiously, "Is Li Yi still not used to sleeping in the house?"

Xiaomei covered her face with her hands and said, "He dared not go back to the room to sleep."

why?

"The prince said that when Li Yi is not on duty, he is not allowed to wander outside. If he is caught doing so, one month's salary will be deducted."

Ye Youlan couldn't help laughing when she heard it. The prince's trick was effective and it was a solution.

The master and servant chatted for a while, and Ye Youlan suddenly thought of Yu Rou mentioned by Ruoyun. She felt a little worried, so she asked Xiaomei to find out what had happened to the Li family recently.

Qin Yurou had been feeling rather down for the past couple of days. Li Da, having broken both his legs, was in a particularly bad mood, and the maids came to her, asking for a replacement, unwilling to wait on him. Yurou only appeased them by offering them double their wages.

When Li Zong returned from the palace, Qin Yurou arranged for him to go and persuade his father to stop making trouble. Li Zong thought about how uncomfortable it was to lie in bed when he broke his leg, so he asked Yurou to prepare a wheelchair for his father so that he could get some fresh air.

Yu Rou thought the same thing, so she arranged for people to prepare.

Li Zong was unhappy again. He broke his leg and Yu Rou would rather borrow than buy one. Now he was happy to give it to his father.

Qin Yurou looked at him unhappily: "How can this be the same? We were struggling financially before, but now we have a little more money."

When he heard that he had more money, Li Zong immediately asked for the silver, saying that he had spent all his money.

Yu Rou gave him another ten taels of silver.

"Are you sending beggars away?"

"You can take it or not."

Li Zong took it anyway, as he wanted to go out and have a couple of drinks.

"Can't I drink at home? You're not allowed to go anywhere."

Li Zong was very angry and slept with his back to Yu Rou at night. He woke up early in the morning and ran to Lan Zhi to make out with her.

Lanzhi told him: "You didn't come last night. It was windy and rainy outside. I was really scared. How about you think of a way to let me into the house?"

"That won't work. Yu Rou will kill me if she finds out."

Lanzhi's eyes were filled with tears as she said aggrievedly, "I don't want any status either. I just want to see you every day, even if it's just from afar. You can find a way to let me into the mansion and arrange for me to do some odd jobs there, so that we can save on rent."

Li Zong thought it was a good idea and said he would consider it.

After the lady moved to Qingyue Temple, the Buddhist temple became empty and was usually taken care of by an elderly woman. One day, the woman came to see Yurou and said that her niece from the countryside had come to live with her and wanted to find a job in the mansion. She also needed help to clean the Buddhist temple and would accept a small salary just to have a place to eat.

Yurou glanced at the maid, seeing she was indeed old, and agreed. She would take the lowest monthly salary, with more added for good performance. And so Lanzhi entered the Li residence, secretly making her fortune under Qin Yurou's nose.

Li Zong returned home on time, sometimes chatting with Yu Rou, and sometimes going to his father's place to chat with him. The house calmed down temporarily.

Li Da sat in a wheelchair basking in the sun and sometimes fell asleep. When he woke up, he found that Li Zong was gone. He scolded his son and hated his legs for not being able to support him.

A Miao brought him tea and asked him if he wanted to go back to the house.

"Go find that brat Li Zong." Li Da was so angry that his beard was shaking.

A Miao turned around and sneered, looking very disgusted, then turned back with a smile: "The young mistress won't let me go to her yard."

Li Da looked up at A Miao, thinking that Yu Rou was worried that she would seduce Li Zong. He smiled contemptuously. His smile made A Miao very uncomfortable, so she increased the dosage of his calming soup in the evening.

Li Zong went to the Buddhist temple to meet Lanzhi under the pretext of talking to his father. He bribed the old woman to spy for him.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world. The gossip in the Li Mansion was spread through the cook's mouth to the cooks in other mansions who were buying vegetables at the market, and then became a secret known to everyone. Only Qin Yurou was kept in the dark.

After Ye Youlan learned about this, she was angry and hurt. She was angry because Li Zong was becoming more and more depraved, and she was hurt because of Qin Yurou. It seemed that everything she was currently enduring was being borne on behalf of the original host.
