Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

In the evening, Li Zong came to Qin Yu Rou's room and confessed pitifully. Qin Yu Rou was unmoved and asked Xiao Hong to tell him to go back to the study, saying that she didn't want to see him.

Xiao Hong advised: "Madam, the young master has repented, so please give him a chance!"

Qin Yurou raised her eyes: "Did you accept her benefits?"

Xiao Hong waved her hands quickly: "I didn't. I just thought that if this goes on, the young master might be heartbroken and never come back. What if the young master keeps a mistress outside like the old master did? What will you do? The old lady is a lesson for you."

Qin Yurou was upset. She hadn't figured out how to face Li Zong.

At this time, a servant came to report that the old lady asked the young lady to meet her at Qingyue Temple tomorrow.

Xiaohong's face lit up when she heard this: "I guess the old lady also wants to persuade you."

When Li Zong heard that his mother wanted to see Qin Yurou, he was happy and decided to take a day off tomorrow to go with her.

In the early morning of Qingyue Temple, the mountain breeze was slightly cool, and the chirping of birds could be heard. When Qin Yurou arrived, she saw Liu Ma standing at the door, leading her in to see the lady.

In the side room, Yilan looked at Yurou. She had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard.

"Child, you have been wronged."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Rou burst into tears. Yi Lan gave her a handkerchief to wipe her tears and waited until she finished crying before speaking.

"I heard from Li Zong that the child is gone. You are still young and you will have children in the future. You must take care of your health."

Yu Rou raised her eyes and looked at her mother-in-law: "How did you endure what your father did to you?"

Yilan had a miserable look on her face, as if she didn't want to look back on the past. "You asked Li Zong to come find me and asked me to go find the Queen Mother, so I knew you knew something about my past. I was in my prime years back then, but everything was ruined by a wrong decision twenty years ago. The Queen Mother was my best friend back then. She was pregnant with the Seventh Prince and had severe morning sickness and was in a bad mood. I went to the palace to accompany her and even went to the temple to pray for her. But she still schemed against me. I waited until Zong'er was born before I found out it was Li Da who humiliated me. Don't you think that's ridiculous? I actually married a man who humiliated me and ruined my life."

Yu Rou saw that her mother-in-law was suppressing her emotions and recounting the past as calmly as possible.

"For Zong'er, I endured it. I also tried to accept him, but I couldn't do it. I hated him, but I hated the Queen Mother even more. She was afraid that the Emperor would like me, so she framed me. But I don't want to be a woman in the harem at all. I just want to find a man I love and live a peaceful life with him."

Yu Rou took her mother-in-law's hand and asked, "Do you have something on the Queen Mother?"

The mother-in-law raised her eyes, her eyes calm and firm. "Yes, but I can't tell you. Everything I did was to keep you and Zong'er safe. Mother knows you're suffering. If you can accept Zong'er, give him a chance to correct his mistakes. If you can't accept him, I don't have the face to force you to accept him. He's not a bad person by nature. He's simple and innocent, but he's unstable and can be easily led astray. He's actually a poor child. Although he has a father and a mother, he doesn't receive much love. Mother has only one request, to walk with him for a while and see how he goes."

Yu Rou choked up and said, "Mother-in-law, why don't we go home and live there!"

Yilan shook her head: "I left to protect you. You and Zong'er should never come here again."

Qin Yurou wiped away her tears, stood up and kowtowed three times to her mother-in-law.

Yu Rou left Qingyue Temple and saw Li Zong standing under a big tree with his hands hanging down, looking at her anxiously. She sighed in her heart, said nothing, and got on the carriage and left.

Xiaohong reminded: "The young master is still there."

"Let him go back the same way he came."

Xiao Bao came over and looked at the young master: "Go back, Madam doesn't want to see you, she just wants you to live a good life with the young lady."

Li Zong pulled himself together and said, "Let's go. At least Yu Rou saw me and didn't roll her eyes today."

Xiao Bao thinks the young master is optimistic.

As August approaches, the autumn examination is about to begin.

When Ye Youlan was drawing at home, she suddenly thought of Qiao Luochuan. She looked across at the Seventh Prince and asked him if he still remembered Qiao Luochuan.

The Seventh Prince replied without even looking up, "I remember. He is currently studying at the Nanfeng Academy. I heard he is doing well and may pass the imperial examination this year."

Ye Youlan came over and sat next to the prince: "How about we go and cheer him up tomorrow?"

"It's not appropriate, so as not to put pressure on him."

"Can I go and take a look? I haven't been to the exam room yet."

"What's there to see there? And until the murderer is found, you'd better stay in the mansion."

"But it's very boring."

"The palace is huge. If you walk around it every day, you'll discover something new every time."

"Are you coming with me?"

"Sure, but sometimes I have to go out to do things, so you can let Xiaomei Dingxiang accompany you."

Ye Youlan asked somewhat disappointedly, "If I liven up the house, you won't object, right?"

The Seventh Prince looked at her warily: "What do you want to do? Do you want to demolish the palace?"

"No, I want to play some small games with the people in the mansion to have some fun together."

"A little game? Give me an example and I'll think about it."

"Tug of war, divided into boys and girls. Everyone can form teams freely, with five people on each team. The top three winners will be selected. How about that?"

The Seventh Prince became interested when he heard this. This had been done in the military camp before, and the rope was even broken during the most intense competition.

The Seventh Prince nodded: "That's fine."

Ye Youlan happily returned to her desk. She had to plan things out first. The first step was publicity and encouraging everyone to form teams; the second step was registration and setting a time for the competition; and the third step was the registration and awarding of prizes.

When the housekeeper announced this activity, the mansion suddenly became lively. Xiaomei told the princess that no matter where she went in the mansion, people would discuss this issue.

The next day, the registration list was handed to Ye Youlan. Ye Youlan was stunned and speechless. There was a thick book on it.

"Your Majesty, you didn't tell me there were so many people in the mansion?"

The Seventh Prince took the list, looked at it, and said, "These are just the guards and servants. They don't include the palace soldiers or the secret guards."

Ye Youlan slapped her forehead and said, "I miscalculated. If I had known there would be so many people, I would have had 20 people per team. Now with so many teams, it will take at least three days to finish the competition."

The Seventh Prince pinched her face and smiled, "Take your time. After they finish the competition, let the secret guards compete as well, and then let the palace soldiers compete as well. In this way, a month will pass."

Ye Youlan opened the Seventh Prince's hand and said, "Aren't secret guards supposed to be secretive? How can we let them compete? Next time, I'll design a new and interesting competition for them."

"tell me the story."

"Secret."

"You have so many secrets."
