Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Li Chuang slapped his head and said, "I teach Jinbao martial arts every day. I know he uses his left hand, but I didn't even think of this."

"You're too worried to care. You were so panicked at the time that you didn't have time to think about all those details. What's more, Jin Bao was taken away by the Dali Temple people at that time, so you didn't have the chance to understand the whole story."

Lord Jin expressed his gratitude again and also apologized for the last incident with the military camp's food and fodder.

The Seventh Prince raised his hand to stop him: "Actually, I should be the one to apologize. I've already found out that this matter has nothing to do with you. If anyone is to apologize, it should be me."

Lord Jin was surprised: "This, this."

The Seventh Prince smiled calmly, "It's late, you should go to bed early. I also want to go back to the mansion. Youlan is still waiting for my news."

Returning to the palace, the Seventh Prince saw Ye Youlan still awake, talking with Xiaomei about the competition. Seeing the Seventh Prince return with a calm face, Ye Youlan smiled and said, "It seems that the matter has been resolved."

The Seventh Prince pulled Ye Youlan to sit down, and Xiaomei tactfully withdrew: "I'll go prepare some hot water."

Ye Youlan laughed in anger: "She can't stand hot water."

The Seventh Prince said loudly, "Prepare more."

Ye Youlan raised her hand and hit him: "You are getting more and more shameless."

"How was the game?"

"Xiaomei told me that even though the women's competition hasn't finished yet, the chef team is likely to take first place. This is a no-brainer, so I plan to give prizes to all participants."

"Will those who didn't participate regret not signing up? They'll feel a sense of loss."

"Then there will be rewards for everyone. Rewards for watching, rewards for participating, and rewards for winning. If I had known this would happen, I might as well have just given out silver."

"But then you'd lose some of the joy."

"Okay, let's not discuss this anymore. Jinbao is back. So when will the murderer be caught?"

"I just had a discussion with the people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Personnel. For now, we're focusing on investigating those who have had contact with Mr. Zhang."

Ye Youlan pondered for a moment. "Do you think it could be someone from Jinghua Academy? The Autumn Examination is approaching, so would they use this tactic to disrupt people's minds?"

"It's possible. I will pass this information to the Dali Temple." The Seventh Prince stared at Ye Youlan's bright and charming face. The scene in his dream appeared in his mind again. He couldn't help but be curious, "Have you ever dreamed of an iron box that moves on the road, with transparent windows on it, and it is full of people, both men and women, all wearing strange clothes?"

Ye Youlan was startled, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "You dreamed of that woman who looks exactly like me again?"

The Seventh Prince said seriously, "Don't be angry. When you were unconscious, I would dream of strange images whenever I dozed off. But after you woke up, I never dreamed of them again."

Ye Youlan pretended to be angry and said, "I was unconscious, and you actually dreamed of another woman, and you dreamed of her as soon as you dozed off."

"Look, aren't you angry?"

Ye Youlan stood up: "I'm going to sleep. I want to dream of a handsome, domineering, and evil man."

The Seventh Prince also stood up and hugged her from behind: "You dare."

Ye Youlan turned around and smiled: "You are on the first day, and I am on the fifteenth. This is fair."

The Seventh Prince picked up Ye Youlan and said, "Then dream of a man who looks exactly like me!"

Ye Youlan had no energy to dream that night after being completely devoured. She slept soundly. The Seventh Prince couldn't help but smile as he looked at her sleeping face. The corners of his mouth curled up, and love welled up in his eyes.

The Autumn Examination had begun. Ye Youlan didn't go, so she asked Dingxiang to go. She asked Dingxiang to take a bag of things and wait for Qiao Luochuan if she saw him.

"Princess, I have to have a reason to give it to others!"

"Just say it's from Xingzhi, wishing him success in the imperial examination."

Dingxiang went happily.

Xiaomei was curious: "Princess, who is that Qiao Luochuan? Is it appropriate for you to care so much about a young scholar?"

Ye Youlan said indifferently, "Why not? He's young and talented, so what if I lend him a hand?"

Xiaomei seemed to have discovered a major secret: "Princess, you are a married woman. It would be bad if the prince knew about this."

Ye Youlan tapped Xiaomei's head: "What's on your mind? Do you think I'm a flower maniac who falls in love with every woman I see?"

Xiaomei was a little anxious: "Princess, the prince treats you so well, you can't let him down."

Ye Youlan shook her head in anger: "Xiaomei, you are getting bolder and bolder. It seems that I have been too good to you. How dare you doubt the character of this princess?"

"I'm just giving you a heads up. By the way, you haven't told me who Qiao Luochuan is yet?"

"Go walk around the shops now, and when you come back, find Ding Xiang. She'll tell you who Qiao Luochuan is. I think you're just bored."

Xiaomei walked out with a pout. Ye Youlan smiled and shook her head, knowing that she was not the kind of person who would be greedy for more.

Ye Youlan went to the wardrobe to find the key and opened the wooden box under the desk. She thought she should make a bigger wooden box. Suddenly she found something wrong. The drawing seemed to have been touched by someone, because she had made a mark and sandwiched a hair in the middle. Now the hair fell to one side of the box.

She thought again of the dream that the Seventh Prince described to her that night, and she laughed. This guy actually rummaged through her things. It seemed that he was really anxious to wake her up.

She didn't tell the Seventh Prince that she had actually returned during the ten days she was unconscious. When she woke up there, she found that the book was still covering her face. A year had passed in her life there, while only one hour had passed in her life there.

She just thought it was a dream, so she continued her nine-to-five life, squeezed into the subway and took the bus, was scolded by her boss, and returned to her rental house. She read a novel, but could not fall asleep. However, as soon as she fell asleep, she felt someone calling her.

On weekends, she would watch movies, surf the Internet, and go to the library to enrich herself. Finally, one day, after she finished practicing yoga and ran back home from the yoga studio, she was so tired that she fell asleep, and then came here again. At that moment, she was extremely surprised, and she hoped that she would never wake up from this beautiful dream again.

Ye Youlan called the butler and asked him to give everyone fifty taels of silver as a reward!

"Princess, the game isn't over yet!"

Ye Youlan smiled and said, "Then let's continue the competition. Prepare the silver. Those who didn't participate will receive one hundred coins each, and those who participated will receive five hundred coins each. The third place winner will receive one tael of silver each, the second place winner will receive two taels of silver each, and the first place winner will receive five taels of silver each."

The housekeeper respectfully reminded, "Princess, fifty taels is not enough. There are three hundred and fifty-two people in the mansion, excluding the prince and princess."

Ye Youlan was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. Did she have no concept of numbers?

"Just calculate the total amount according to the reward method I just mentioned, and then go to the cashier to withdraw it."

In the end, Ye Youlan realized that the tug-of-war competition she mentioned casually cost more than one hundred taels, and Xiaomei felt even more distressed than her.

Ye Youlan comforted him, "The purpose of making money is to spend it happily. Let's think of some way to make more."
