Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Ye Youlan saw that Lord Zhang had a kind face and was a straightforward person. Such a person would find it difficult to be smooth and diplomatic in officialdom. It was normal for him to be excluded because he was not sociable and was aloof.

Ye Youlan talked with Lord Zhang and shared some ideas on how to govern Linzhou.

"Master Zhang, although Linzhou is a little poor and remote, as long as we work hard, it still has great potential."

Lord Zhang did not expect that the princess knew so much. He admired her very much. He said that he would find a way to govern Linzhou and benefit the people there.

So Ye Youlan proposed planting trees, developing water conservancy projects, encouraging business, promoting commodity circulation, establishing official schools, and so on, and listed nearly ten items in one breath.

Lord Zhang nodded continuously, feeling that every one of them was a good idea. He could imagine what a wonderful place Linzhou would be if it were realized.

Ye Youlan was so thirsty from her talk that the Seventh Prince poured her some water. Only then did she realize she had been talking for so long: "Master Zhang, there's no rush. Let's take our time. If you encounter any problems, you can ask the local people for advice. After all, they are the ones who love this land the most and have more experience, which will help us avoid many detours."

"Okay, okay."

At this time, Li Zhi came in and said that the people of Linzhou heard that the prince was leaving, so they all blocked the gate of the county government office to see him off.

Ye Youlan smiled: "You see, this is what the people want. If you work for the people, they will remember it."

The Seventh Prince looked at Lord Zhang and said, "The prince and the princess left through the back door. The common people in front, Lord Zhang, please come forward and persuade them to leave."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The Seventh Prince and Ye Youlan came out from the back door and just got on the carriage when they saw Zhao Lin standing by and watching them.

Ye Youlan was stunned for a moment. This kid was so smart that he actually knew to guard them at the back door.

Ye Youlan waved for him to come over, and Li Zhi stood aside vigilantly.

"Zhao Lin, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Lin stepped forward and said, "I want to follow you to the capital."

"Why do you want to go to the capital, and why do you think we will take you there?"

Zhao Lin blinked his dark eyes, as if he had made up his mind: "I stabbed the prince that day. I want to atone for my sin. I am willing to work like a slave for you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when my father's grievances will be cleared."

Ye Youlan smiled faintly: "You are still a child now. It is not easy for your adoptive parents to take you in when you were in trouble. What you should do most now is to stay with them and study hard. Only then can you achieve great things when you grow up."

"But I want to follow you."

"Okay, let's make a deal. You stay here. The government has a free private school. You can go there and study. Five years later, if we don't come back, you can go to the palace in the capital to find us."

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up and he happily agreed.

The Seventh Prince raised the jade pendant in his hand and said, "I still have a use for this jade pendant. I will return it to you after I find out the truth."

Xiaomei divided the things sent by the princess into several large packages and sent them to the various mansions. The Ye, Li, and Qin families mostly received supplements, while Chen Xiaoling and Ruoyun gave her many cooking spices, knowing that she was a foodie like herself.

Chen Xiaoling finally saw what the lobster looked like. She exclaimed, "It's scary! How could Ye Youlan like to eat something like that?" Princess Yong'an asked the maid to take the lobster portrait away so as not to scare the baby in her belly.

Lancome was pregnant, and Li Zong was so scared that he quickly went to discuss with Ren Yue. He asked Ren Yue to help him abort the child.

Ren Yue looked at her slender fingers and said disdainfully: "This child is yours. You can disown him, but you have no right to hit him. If you don't raise him, then I will."

"But you live next door, and Lancome is an unmarried woman. Sooner or later, the gang will break up. Can you move back to the countryside? I'll come visit you every few days."

Ren Yue sneered: "You come to see us, what can you do? Isn't your body in bad condition?"

Li Zong was furious. He was most jealous of others mentioning this matter. He drank a lot of medicine, but it had no effect at all.

"Could it be that you drugged me?"

Ren Yue raised her hand and slapped him: "Nonsense."

Li Zong covered his face and said, "I am now disabled. I won't come here anymore. You guys shouldn't come to my house either. Let's try to keep our distance."

Ren Yue said contemptuously: "Okay, but you have to compensate me."

"How can I compensate you? My health is broken and I have no money."

Ren Yue thought this was a rogue: "You are in the Ministry of Rites now, and I need your help with Jinghua Academy. The Autumn Examination is not far away. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I try my best."

"It doesn't mean try your best, you have to give it your all."

"I will stay here until the Autumn Examination is over. If you don't help me, your scandal will spread throughout the capital."

Li Zong's eyes widened in anger. "What good will it do you if I'm ruined? Don't forget, you were the one who seduced me. You're the one who should be embarrassed."

Ren Yue spread her hands indifferently: "Do you have evidence? I have evidence to prove that you have misbehaved. Don't forget that Lancome is still in my house."

Li Zong pointed at Ren Yue and said harshly, "You vicious woman."

After Li Zong left, Ren Yue sneered and tears fell down. She had never met a normal man in her life.

Li Zong crawled out of the dog hole and asked Xiao Bao to find someone to block the dog hole.

He returned to the inner courtyard and saw Qin Yurou looking at a pile of things on the table. He tried to force a smile and asked her what she was doing?

"The things Youlan sent include spices, tea, and some food ingredients. Many of these things are not available in the capital." Qin Yurou took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and showed it to Li Zong.

Li Zong opened it and saw a large lobster with its claws and teeth bared. He was startled and asked, "What the hell is this?"

"Youlan said it was delicious, especially tasty. But looking at this portrait, I don't have the courage to eat it."

Li Zong sat down and said unhappily, "Ye Youlan doesn't have the manners of a princess at all. She just eats, drinks and has fun all day long, like a bitch."

Qin Yurou curled her lips and said, "I noticed you were very attentive to her before."

Li Zong looked at Yu Rou and said, "Isn't it my father who forced me to please her? Every time we have a party, my eyes are fixed on you. I don't even know what color clothes she wears or what flowers she wears on her hair."

"Then let me ask you, what color clothes did I wear when I went to the temple to burn incense?"

Li Zong was stunned: "It's been too long, how can I remember."

"I just didn't put my heart into it. I remember that you were wearing a brocade robe that day, and you stood out among the crowd."

Li Zong couldn't help but smile: "That's right, in terms of appearance in the capital, I am at least in the top three."

"Who are the other two?"

"Zhang Liang, Chen Su."

"Isn't the Seventh Prince good-looking?"

Li Zong said unconvincedly, "He has an icy face all day long, as if someone owes him money. It's annoying just to look at him. Ye Youlan is unlucky enough to marry him."

"I think Youlan is quite happy."

"Have you forgotten how they got married? It was because Ye Youlan saved the wrong person and had no choice but to marry him. Now pretending to be in love with him in public is just a waste of face and a living hell."

Qin Yurou's eyes shifted to his face: "Have you not let go of Ye Youlan yet? Why are you still upset about Ye Youlan marrying the Seventh Prince?"

Li Zong blushed: "I don't like her, I didn't."

He stood up and said, "I'm going to the study to read."

He was really afraid that the secret in his heart would be discovered, because he always believed that Ye Youlan had feelings for him. When he saw the Seventh Prince taking Ye Youlan on a tour, he felt a little jealous, because he had also accompanied Ye Youlan everywhere.
