Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

After the Seventh Prince finished speaking, he turned and left. Mr. Qiu Yang stood there, looking at the Seventh Prince's back. He was stunned. Did he come here so early in the morning just to say these two sentences?

He shook his head, touched his neck and went back to school.

The Seventh Prince came to the lake and sat on a rock, asking Li Zhi if he had found anything.

"Mr. Qiu Yang's wife died a few days ago, and he came back as if nothing had happened, not at all sad."

"anything else!"

"No, what new discoveries did the prince make?"

"Don't you think this gentleman looks a bit like the fake Zhao Yesong we saw outside the academy gate a few days ago?"

Li Zhi suddenly realized: "Yes, that's right, I feel like I've seen this before."

Ren Qishan was walking towards this side in the distance. The Seventh Prince stood up, brushed off his clothes, and greeted him with a smile.

"How come the Seventh Prince has time to come to the academy? Why don't you come to me when you come? I just happen to have a batch of good tea."

"I was here on some business and heard that Li Zong was here to help at the academy, so I came in to take a look. If the emperor ever thinks of this man, I can say a few good words for him in front of him. After all, his wife and mine are close friends."

Ren Qishan remained calm: "Why don't you call him over for some tea?"

"He's in class, let's make an appointment another day."

The Seventh Prince and Ren Qishan chatted for a while about topics related to the Queen Mother, then found an excuse to leave the academy.

Ren Qishan asked someone to call Mr. Qiu Yang to the study, as he had something to say.

As soon as the Seventh Prince's carriage entered the city, he saw that his own Mingyue Teahouse was doing a booming business. Li Chuang was just coming out from inside and happened to meet the Seventh Prince's eyes as he lifted the curtain.

Li Chuang nodded slightly and the carriage continued to move forward.

When the Seventh Prince returned home, Ye Youlan had not yet gotten up. However, when he saw that her face had become rosy and not as pale as when she left in the morning, the Seventh Prince finally felt relieved.

He went to the study and always felt that the light in his room was not bright enough, so he called Li Zhi to move his things to the next room. Li Zhi hesitated and said, "Your Highness, you should ask the princess. It would be best if she agrees before moving."

The Seventh Prince raised his eyes, his gaze stern. Li Zhi came over to help tidy up. As soon as he touched the bookshelf, he suddenly had an idea: "Prince, how about this? We can tear down this partition wall and separate it with a bookcase, leaving an aisle. This way it won't affect the Princess's work, and she can see you whenever she wants."

The Seventh Prince was very pleased with this idea and told him to proceed immediately: "Make all the bookcases into low cabinets as partitions, and place two pots of flowers on them. Put whatever flowers the princess likes."

Xiaomei came from the embroidery room and saw some craftsmen coming in and out of the inner courtyard. She stopped one and asked what they were doing. Wasn't the princess's studio ready?

"We are working on the prince's study."

Xiaomei stood beside the rockery, watching Li Zhi directing his men to work. The scene was quite lively. Xiaomei went around to the princess's studio, pushed the door open, and saw the dust flying inside. She saw the whole picture of the prince's study. Ah, the wall had been demolished.

Xiaomei panicked and went to find the princess.

She forgot to knock on the door and pushed it open and shouted, "Princess, something's wrong."

She entered the inner room and saw the Seventh Prince leaning against the headboard, Ye Youlan nestled in his arms. She turned abruptly and walked outside.

Ye Youlan called her: "What's going on?"

Xiaomei didn't even look back. She didn't expect the Seventh Prince to be at home. She patted her head and said, "It's nothing. I just had water in my brain."

Ye Youlan smiled and stopped asking. She looked up at the Seventh Prince and said, "Pour me a glass of water."

The Seventh Prince stood up to pour water. He felt the teapot and found it was cold. He called out, "Someone come."

Xiaomei was called in again after just going out, and she was a little nervous.

"From now on, the princess's tea must be kept warm. Go get a pot of hot water."

Ye Youlan lay in bed for three days before she had the strength to get up.

While the Seventh Prince was away, Xiaomei came over and told Ye Youlan, "Princess, do you want to go see your studio? There's a surprise."

Ye Youlan smiled: "Any surprise? I'll go take a look."

Xiaomei helped Ye Youlan to her studio and pushed the door open. She found that the view was particularly wide, and what caught her eye was the partition between the two study rooms.

"The prince had the middle wall demolished and replaced with a row of low cabinets. He also adjusted the position of his desk so it's right across from yours. That way, he can see you as soon as he looks up."

Ye Youlan walked around the two rooms and then asked Xiaomei, "Who came up with this idea?"

"It's Li Zhi. I heard that the Seventh Prince originally wanted to move in, but Li Zhi suggested that we tear down the middle wall."

Ye Youlan nodded. She stood at the middle partition and looked up, wondering if this was a load-bearing wall. Fortunately, it wasn't.

"Do you think I should reward Li Zhi?"

Xiaomei nodded: "It should be rewarded. This change is so bright."

"As you say, tell Li Zhi to run ten laps around the lake in the garden and come meet me later."

"No, Princess, no, didn't you say you were going to reward him?" Xiaomei thought, if I had known that he would be punished by running, I might as well not have told him. It would be so bad if Li Zhi knew that she was the one who informed on him and blamed him. Li Yi would be angry too!

Ye Youlan added, "Whoever comes to plead for mercy will run ten laps. Tell him to come see me in half an hour."

Xiaomei had no choice but to go find Li Zhi. She asked several people in the mansion and finally saw Li Zhi training with people in the martial arts training ground. Her husband Li Yi was also there.

Xiaomei walked towards them with a bitter face. Someone teased Li Yi: "Your wife is here."

Li Zhi said, "Everyone, be serious."

Xiaomei came over and said hesitantly, "Guard Li, the princess has ordered you to run ten laps around the lake. Go see her in half an hour."

Li Zhi was a little confused: "What did I do wrong? The princess wants to punish me by making me run?"

Others didn't understand either, so Li Yi asked Xiaomei to explain it clearly.

"Excuse me, Guard Li. I just took the princess to the study to surprise her. She asked who came up with the reward, so I told her it was Guard Li's idea. Then she told me to run ten laps and said that whoever pleads for her will run ten laps with her."

Ten laps was a piece of cake for them, but it was clearly a good thing, so why did the princess punish Guard Li? The princess was really something, she couldn't do whatever she wanted just because she was favored by the prince.

Li Zhi glared at them and said, "Don't say bad things about the princess. It's just ten laps, I'll run."

Li Yi said, "I'll run with you."

Others also said, "Let's run together."

The prince and his steward were talking under the eaves of the training ground when they suddenly saw a long line of guards running towards the lake. After explaining the matter, he followed them to the lakeside and saw that thirty of them had already run across the lake.

He waited for a while, and Li Zhi and others came running over.
