Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

The Seventh Prince felt that the night was very long. The woman he loved was separated from him by a wall, but it seemed as if there was a Milky Way between them. But at the same time, he was very relieved, because he bought this house after returning from the battlefield. He wanted to be away from Ye Youlan and had even thought that after marrying her, she could return to her parents' home at any time.

But when he learned that the prime minister intended to marry his daughter to Li Zong, and that Ye Youlan and Li Zong were childhood sweethearts, he felt very disappointed, and the house became vacant.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and he actually saw hope again. The most important thing was that Ye Youlan also liked him. This kind of two-way happiness made him very excited.

Ye Youlan came out of the study and saw that it was already dark. She planned to go to the garden to talk to the Seventh Prince, but just as she passed the archway, she saw Xiaomei rushing over.

"Miss, it's so late, where are you going?" Xiaomei asked vigilantly.

Ye Youlan scratched her head and said, "I lost a hairpin. I think I may have lost it in the garden. I'll go look for it."

"I'll go with you."

"No, go to my room and light the incense. I want the lychee incense. I'll be back in a minute. Please bring me some snacks and make me a pot of tea."

Ye Youlan came to the pavilion in the garden. She picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it over. She counted in her mind, and before she had reached ten, she heard the Seventh Prince's joyful voice: "Youlan, is that you?"

Ye Youlan turned her back to the courtyard wall and said with a smile, "It's me. I came to say hello to your new neighbor."

"I want to see you. I'll climb over the wall."

"No, I need to go back to the house right now."

As soon as Ye Youlan finished speaking, the Seventh Prince stood in front of her in a dashing manner and held her in his arms.

Ye Youlan felt her heart pounding. This was the second time he held her in his arms, but it felt different. The last time was at the night market, when she was furious. But now, in the hazy night and bright moonlight, the man's solid chest felt warm and powerful.

In fact, the Seventh Prince was also nervous. Every time he saw Ye Youlan, he couldn't help but want to get close to her. He rested his chin on Ye Youlan's shoulder and said in a low and gentle voice: "I miss you."

"I said last night that this yard was empty, and you moved in today. You're really fast." Ye Youlan was very happy.

The Seventh Prince said, "Money makes things easier."

Xiaomei's voice from a distance, "Miss," startled the two men and they quickly let go. The Seventh Prince was in a panic and didn't know what to do, but the secret guard was smart and jumped down quickly, pulling the Seventh Prince over the wall.

Ye Youlan tidied her hair and replied to Xiaomei: "I'm here."

Xiaomei came over and saw the young lady's blushing face: "Miss, why is your face so red? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Have you found the hairpin?"

Ye Youlan shook her hands: "I can't find it, so it's lost!"

Xiaomei suddenly leaned forward and lowered her voice: "Miss, you are having a secret tryst, right?"

Ye Youlan glared at Xiaomei and said, "Nonsense! I'm the only one in this garden. How could I have a secret meeting with a ghost?"

"You are having a tryst with the Seventh Prince next door."

When Xiaomei said this, Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince who had not left next door were both shocked.

Seeing Ye Youlan remained silent, Xiaomei smiled and said, "Did I guess it right?"

"How did you guess that?" Ye Youlan asked Xiaomei without hiding anything, "Tell me about it."

"Ever since you suddenly left the house on a rainy night, I've been wondering why you didn't take me with you. At the time, I suspected you were having a tryst with Master Li. You disappeared for a while while we were out at the Jin family farm. There was a lip balm mark on the Seventh Prince's neck. I took a closer look, and it was the same size as your mouth."

The Seventh Prince subconsciously touched his neck. There was surprise in Ye Youlan's eyes. She didn't expect Xiaomei to be so smart, so she motioned her to continue.

"How could it be such a coincidence that our carriage broke down when we left the manor, and the Seventh Prince's carriage happened to be right behind us? Is this a coincidence? After thinking about it, I can only say that the Seventh Prince did it on purpose. He just wanted to ride in the same carriage with you."

The Seventh Prince and Ye Youlan nodded at the same time. Xiaomei’s analysis was absolutely correct.

"And last night, you said you wanted to go to bed early and sent me away, but you didn't expect me to worry about you, so I came back. Seeing that you weren't wearing the doll mask and didn't bring me with you, it means that the person you were going to see was not Master Li, but the Seventh Prince. Also, the snacks you brought back last time were not ordinary snacks. It's impossible for a small vendor to make snacks with high-quality ingredients."

Ye Youlan hugged Xiaomei and said excitedly, "Xiaomei, you can be a detective now. You were right about everything."

Xiaomei smiled smugly, then said sternly, "The one you were hugging just now was the Seventh Prince, right? Miss, how could you throw yourself into his arms? You are a girl, you should behave yourself."

Ye Youlan smiled: "I didn't throw myself into his arms, he threw himself into his arms, I didn't take the initiative."

"Does it make any difference? Didn't he take advantage of you?"

Ye Youlan corrected him: "This is called mutual affection, how can it be called taking advantage of others? That's too harsh."

Seeing the young lady absorbed in it, Xiaomei couldn't help but teach Ye Youlan a lesson: "Young lady, do you know how bad the Seventh Prince's reputation is? He hasn't returned to the Prince's Mansion since he came back from the battlefield. He spends every day sleeping with willows and flowers, surrounded by beautiful women. You have been deceived by his sweet words."

The Seventh Prince was terrified when he heard this. He wanted to climb over the wall and explain to Xiaomei right away. He was especially afraid that Ye Youlan would believe Xiaomei's words. Not to mention Xiaomei, anyone would have such a guess.

Ye Youlan looked at Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, believe me, everything you saw and heard was what he wanted to show others. It was a way for him to protect himself. In fact, he is an extremely good person. In this world, he is the only one who would die for me. He likes me more than I like him."

Xiaomei shook her head: "I don't believe it."

Ye Youlan smiled: "How about I ask him to come over and show you how to break a stone with his chest?"

Seeing the young lady's bright smile, Xiaomei felt really happy and couldn't bear to spoil it, so she suggested that the Seventh Prince must take her with him if he wanted to see her in the future.

"understood."

Ye Youlan said to the wall, "Now Xiaomei knows everything. You should bribe her and bring some snacks from your house."

Xiaomei quickly waved her hands when she heard this. She didn't expect that the Seventh Prince was still next door, so he should have heard what she just said. If the two of them got together in the future, how would the Seventh Prince look at her?

"Miss!"

Soon a secret guard jumped down, put the snack in Xiaomei's hand, and then disappeared. Xiaomei was so scared that she thought there was a ghost!

"We're going back."

When the Seventh Prince could no longer hear the noises from next door, he returned to his room, feeling a mixture of excitement and heaviness. It was too difficult for him to be with Ye Youlan. Even the maids in the mansion didn't trust him, not to mention the Prime Minister, his wife, Ye Youlan's older brother and sister-in-law, and those watching from all over the court.
