Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

The Seventh Prince left the flower hall and walked in the yard. Chen Su, Li Chuang and others sat in the pavilion drinking tea and greeted the Seventh Prince.

Li Zong was a little displeased: "Why is he here? He is not familiar with Ruoyun?"

Chen Suxiao thought that maybe the Seventh Prince had come to see his beloved.

Everyone was surprised and looked at Chen Su, curious about who that girl was.

Chen Su was stunned for a moment. She was just joking, why were they so nervous?

"The Seventh Prince is twenty-five this year. It's time to consider starting a family. With so many young ladies here today, I guess he's here to see if there's anyone he likes."

Li Zong laughed contemptuously, a trace of disdain appearing on his fair face: "He has a notorious reputation. Who would be willing to marry their daughter to him? Even if they marry, they want the position of princess. But an idle prince is not worth considering."

Li Chuang couldn't stand Li Zong's arrogance, so he asked, "I heard that Minister Qin rejected the Li family's proposal. Isn't your reputation good? Why does Minister Qin look down on you?"

Li Zong's face flushed red, and displeasure flashed in his eyes. He looked at Li Chuang and said, "Qin Yurou agreed to marry me, but there was some misunderstanding."

The Seventh Prince came over and everyone made room for him to sit down.

Everyone laughed. Li Zong was very embarrassed. Seeing that no one believed him, he said to the girl in the distance, "I'll let you hear what Qin Yurou promised me later."

Everyone looked like they were enjoying a good show.

The girls sat on the flower stand nearby drinking tea and chatting, while the men played pitching pot in the open space.

Chen Xiaoling smiled: "How about we go over and take a look?"

"Those are all men, that's not good."

"What's wrong with that? Aren't they all from the capital? They're the same people who always gather in private." Chen Xiaoling looked at Ye Youlan, "Do you want to go?"

Ye Youlan didn't care. She and Chen Xiaoling got up and went forward, and the girls behind them followed.

When girls came to watch, the boys became more eager to perform.

Jin Ruoyun smiled and suggested that everyone play pitching pot. If a man hits ten out of ten shots and a woman hits five out of ten shots, she would treat them to a banquet at Yuxianglou tomorrow as a reward.

So everyone's enthusiasm was aroused and they actively participated in the competition.

The Seventh Prince was a distinguished figure, and he was the first to come. He easily hit all 10 shots, without any suspense. After he finished shooting, he deliberately glanced in Ye Youlan's direction. Ye Youlan nodded slightly and secretly gave him a thumbs-up.

Li Zong refused to accept the result and wanted to throw the second shot. Qin Yurou cheered him on silently. Li Zong held his head high and chest out, taking a good stance, and threw the pot in a very handsome manner. As a result, he hit the target nine times out of ten, regretting that he was just a little short.

Li Chuang was the third one and he easily made all ten shots.

Then came the other young men, some made eight out of ten, some made six out of ten, some made three out of ten, and the last one was Chen Su, who made nine out of ten.

Li Zong's frustrated expression calmed down a little, and he felt that his defeat was not so ugly.

The girls were the next to vote. They were very shy and no one wanted to be the first to vote.

Ye Youlan raised her hand and said, "Let me do it!"

Someone laughed: "Come on, Ye Youlan, you will hit one."

Knowing that everyone was joking, Ye Youlan was not angry.

She took the arrow, walked to the designated place, raised her hand to aim and threw. The first arrow missed and everyone laughed.

Qin Yurou smiled: "Hurry up and vote, don't waste time."

Ye Youlan made six out of ten shots in the end, which was a bit unexpected. Ye Youlan was proud of it. Every time she went to the night market, she liked to play ring toss the most.

The second one was Qin Yurou. She made nine out of ten shots and the whole audience looked at her with envy. She was very proud and very confident. At this moment, she was the focus.

Ruoyun hit five, Chen Xiaoling hit one, Li Miaoyu hit three, and the other ladies basically hit one or two, and some even hit zero.

Jin Ruoyun announced that she would host a dinner party at Yuxianglou tomorrow night, inviting the Seventh Prince, Li Chuang, Qin Yurou, and Ye Youlan.

After everyone dispersed, Qin Yurou walked over to Ruoyun and whispered to him, "Can't you take Li Zong with you? He only needs one."

"According to the rules of the game, if you invite him, he'll feel even more humiliated. Besides, there will be plenty of opportunities to treat you in the future, so this one won't matter."

There was still an hour before the banquet started, so Ruoyun arranged for everyone to rest in the side rooms. Those who didn't want to rest could play freely in the garden.

Chen Xiaoling said she wanted to play cards, a game she had only recently learned, and wanted to teach her sisters. Qin Yurou said she was tired and wanted to rest for a while, and she would call her when it was time for dinner.

When she left, the sisters exchanged glances and everyone understood what she meant. Qin Yurou went to talk to Li Zong.

Qin Yurou carefully followed the girl to the rockery. When she saw Xiaobao waving at her, her face turned red and she was too embarrassed to raise her head.

Qin Yurou looked around before going into the fake cave. Xiao Bao and her maid sat on both sides. From a distance, everyone thought they were lazy servants.

When Li Zong saw Qin Yurou coming, he stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms. Qin Yurou was shy and timid, so she pushed him away and asked him to speak properly.

Li Zong felt very aggrieved and said loudly, "My family proposed marriage, why did your family reject it? Didn't you promise to marry me?"

Qin Yurou used her finger to signal him to speak more quietly: "There are people outside, please keep your voice down."

"Are you saying you're going to marry me?"

"Yes, I promised you, but my father doesn't agree. What can I do? Besides, shouldn't your family find a way to convince my father about this kind of thing?"

"Yes, yes, I'll find a way."

Suddenly the maid shouted outside: "Miss, someone is coming."

Qin Yurou quickly stepped out, tidied her hair, and the two of them walked towards the room where the women rested.

After a while, Li Zong also came out. He walked around the rockery and went to the back, where two young men were hiding with their backs hunched.

"Come out, I said Qin Yurou agreed, you heard it, I didn't lie, right?"

The two young men smirked and walked towards the men's room.

After the birthday party, Qin Yurou hadn't even returned home when word spread that she had agreed to Li Zong's proposal. Minister Qin, enraged, returned home to wait for Qin Yurou. As soon as she entered the study, he slapped his daughter, leaving her stunned.

Qin Yurou covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face, and asked her father why he hit her?

"Today is Jin Ruoyun's birthday. Did you and Li Zong go to the rockery to talk? Now the whole capital is spreading that you are going to marry him!"

Qin Yurou had no way to deny it. She didn't know if anyone saw them. How could the news spread so quickly? Unless someone did it on purpose, she was a little flustered, but she kept denying in her heart that it couldn't be Li Zong. He didn't need to do that.

Seeing his daughter's expression of being in the dark, Minister Qin sighed and said, "Let's leave it at that. If the Li family proposes marriage again, you can marry them. If not, you can return home!"
