Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

On the way back in the carriage, Ye Youlan admired the rewards from the emperor and the empress dowager, and couldn't let go of each one.

"Next time, tell me the jokes you write first."

Ye Youlan smiled brightly, and she leaned close to the prince's ear: "I'm going to tell you a joke that's not suitable for children."

"What do you mean? Children can't listen?"

Ye Youlan blinked: "Only adults can listen."

The Seventh Prince's face lit up with joy: "Tell me one first."

"Let's talk on the bed."

The Seventh Prince had an expectant smile on his face all the way.

After returning to the palace, taking a bath and lying on the bed, the Seventh Prince looked at Ye Youlan expectantly: "Speak!"

Ye Youlan tried her best to suppress her laughter, fearing she would burst out laughing before she finished speaking: "There is no Ultraman in this world."

"End?"

"It's over."

"Didn't you say it's not suitable for children?"

"It's not suitable for children. Ultraman is a person with magical powers and a god in the hearts of children. If you tell a child that there is no Ultraman in this world, it means the collapse of his faith and the shattering of his dreams."

The Seventh Prince couldn't help but pinch Ye Youlan's face while laughing: "Are you teasing me?"

"You have a twisted mind and you blame me?"

The Seventh Prince leaned forward and said, "I want to show you what is crooked."

When Li Zong returned home and saw Qin Yurou about to question the steward again, he said unhappily, "Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

“If you don’t resolve today’s problems, tomorrow’s tasks will pile up, and tomorrow will be even more tiring.”

"Go, go! I'll talk to you later."

Li Zong took a nap before waiting for Qin Yurou. He got up and sat up, looking at Qin Yurou who was still flipping through the account book on the couch. "You said we've known Ye Youlan for about ten years, right? When did she become like this? Where did all those jokes and weird titles come from?"

Qin Yurou didn't even raise her head: "You don't know, and you're asking me? Besides, you used to be so devoted to Youlan, how could you not understand?"

Li Zong frowned. "I'm not exaggerating as you say. I knew she was careless and often made irresponsible remarks, but I never expected that all her past shortcomings would become strengths. Didn't you see the smug expression on the Seventh Prince's face?"

Qin Yurou snorted, "I think you want to show off, but you just don't have the ability. You finally stood up and made a brilliant speech, but Ye Youlan retorted and insulted you. You brought shame upon yourself."

"Qin Yurou, I'm your husband. Why do you always contradict me? And aren't you the smartest of the five golden flowers? Why are you so silent today?"

"Everyone is good at different things. Ye Youlan is best at being in the spotlight. No one in the whole capital can compare to her in this respect."

"Why did the Emperor keep them talking at the end?"

"Is that weird?"

Li Zong saw that there was nothing else to talk about, so he asked her if she was still going to sleep.

"You go to bed first, I haven't taken a shower yet!"

Li Zong pouted unhappily, "Luckily you're only managing the Shangshu Mansion. If you were given a Prime Minister's Mansion, wouldn't you be busy as hell?"

Qin Yurou stood up and stared at Li Zong, saying, "Then give me a Prime Minister's Mansion? And now this can't even be called a Shangshu Mansion. It's going to be renamed the Shilang Mansion soon. My husband, you have to work harder!"

Li Zong was so irritated by her sarcastic words that he leaned back and turned his back to Qin Yurou.

Xiaomei came back from inspecting the shops and happily told the princess, "Princess, Rongji Teahouse is doing really well right now."

"How is it better?" Ye Youlan stared at the newly painted bracelet in front of her and was not very satisfied.

"We've invited a storyteller to the teahouse, and he's telling the stories and jokes you told in the palace to the guests. Everyone's really interested. Every day someone comes in and asks if there are any new stories or jokes."

Ye Youlan thought, isn't this a business opportunity? She would give the emperor two questions and three jokes each time, and the emperor would be the first reader. The next day, she would send these to various teahouses and tell them to the customers. If a customer answered correctly, she would give them coupons from other stores.

Ye Youlan found that she was really smart and she admired herself more and more. No, she admired her own flexible carrying ability.

Of course, one's brain cells cannot be used all the time and need proper rest, so one mobilizes the people in the mansion to collect the jokes they have heard and reprocess them, and pays them appropriately.

She thought of the great scholar Pu Songling, so she asked Xiaomei to arrange for someone to set up a free teahouse ten miles from the east, west, south, and north gates of the capital, where they could tell stories and jokes while enjoying free tea. They would open the stall at 1 a.m. and close it at 7 p.m., working outdoors, and their monthly salary would double.

Xiaomei has now also learned to give a thumbs-up: "Princess, you are a genius."

Ye Youlan found that Xiaomei's thumb was very wide and chubby, which was very cute. Suddenly, she got inspiration again. She took out a new piece of manuscript paper and drew a thumbs-up picture on it.

Seeing the Seventh Prince sitting opposite her, she called him over to see her.

"Come here." The Seventh Prince was copying something without raising his head.

Ye Youlan thought, "I need your help, so I won't argue with you." She came over with the blueprint and sat next to the prince.

"Your Majesty, please help me carve a few of these seals. I calculated that Rongji has about twenty shops of various types, so I should carve twenty private seals."

"You're so easy to imitate?"

"Then add the word Rongji on your thumb in cursive or official script, and add some patterns on the backs of the other four fingers."

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "Tell Li Zhi to take it and find an experienced craftsman to carve it."

"Don't you know how?"

The Seventh Prince paused, "Even the fastest I can carve one takes a day, so twenty takes twenty days. Spending some money will save time and effort."

"That's right. Relatively speaking, your time is more valuable." Ye Youlan placed the blueprint in front of the Seventh Prince. "You can add the words and patterns."

The Seventh Prince simply picked up the brush and finished the painting. Ye Youlan said angrily, "Hard work is nothing compared to talent."

Ye Youlan gave the drawings to Xiaomei and asked her to ask Li Zhi to do it.

Xiaomei took a look and said: "Li Yi is fine, no need to trouble Guard Li."

The Seventh Prince raised his head slightly and glanced at Xiaomei, who immediately changed her tone: "Then I'll go find Guard Li right away."

Ye Youlan pushed the Seventh Prince and said, "Does it matter who does it, Li Zhi or Li Yi?"

"Of course there is a difference. Li Yi can only take it to the market to find someone to do it, but Li Zhi can take it to the palace to do it. Who do you choose?"

Ye Youlan smiled awkwardly: "Of course the craftsmen in the palace are the best."

"You haven't told me what you want this for yet?"

"It's called a like. Every time you shop at a store, you get a like stamp. If you shop ten times, you get one free."

"If I spend a hundred coins at a shop ten times in a row, will you give me something for free the eleventh time I buy something worth one ounce of silver?"

Ye Youlan clapped her hands and said, "You're right. This is a loophole. I'll give you a 20% discount, or give you some cheap stuff, and take back the ten "like" coupons."

"clever."

"Then I have to design a small card for stamping." Ye Youlan stood up and was about to walk towards her desk when she was stopped by the Seventh Prince, who pointed at her cheek.

Ye Youlan understood and kissed him on the lips: "Stamp."
