Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

So the three of them agreed to meet at the gate of the palace at noon tomorrow.

Jinbao went to his sister as soon as he got home and asked her what Ye Youlan liked.

Jin Ruoyun smiled and asked his brother how he found out this?

"It's nothing, just asking casually. Sister Youlan helped my friend, and my friend wanted to thank her."

Ruoyun thought for a moment and said, "Her palace has everything she needs. Any gift will do. It's all a token of her heart."

The next day, the three of them came to the palace. The guard recognized them and informed them.

Dingxiang knew that the princess liked to sleep in, so she asked the three of them to go to the martial arts training ground to play for a while, and then call them over when the princess woke up.

Zhao Yicheng put the rice bag on the table, Jinbao also put a box, and Ding Xiaoshan put a bundle on the table.

"Sister Dingxiang, please watch over us. We'll come over after playing for a while."

Ye Youlan has been particularly sleepy recently. Unless there is something particularly important, she will sleep until she wakes up naturally. Today, she slept until the hour of Si.

Dingxiang came in to help her wash and told her that Jinbao, Zhao Yicheng and Ding Xiaoshan came to visit again and brought her some things.

"Where is the prince?"

"The prince is out and probably won't be back until evening."

"Let the three of them come and have dinner with me later."

The three little guys were sweating and their faces were flushed with heat. Dingxiang asked them to wash quickly because the princess wanted to have dinner with them.

In the dining hall, the three of them bowed respectfully to Ye Youlan.

"I told you, don't be restrained, come and have dinner."

So the three of them sat down. Ye Youlan was afraid that they would be restrained, so she asked them a lot of questions. The little guys immediately opened up and started talking one after another.

Ye Youlan quickly extracted a lot of information from their conversations.

Aunt Chen wanted to register Jinbao under the name of the lady so that Jinbao would not be a concubine's child, but the lady never expressed her opinion. Jinbao said that he didn't care. He had poor grades and the imperial examination was not suitable for him. When he grew up, he might go into business, join the army, or wander around the world.

Zhao Yicheng said that his mother scolded his father, him and his younger brothers and sisters every day, and then she would go to cook delicious food.

Ding Xiaoshan said his father's iron shop was doing well and was looking to hire someone! His mother didn't have to do laundry this winter, and he'd gotten first place on his quiz again. The three of them were helping out at the ten-cent shop, and Aunt Wen was paying them.

Ye Youlan told them that whether they liked reading or not, they should read more. Whether they joined the army or pursued a career in politics, did business or traveled around the world, reading more was not a bad thing.

The three nodded and said they would try their best.

Ye Youlan smiled: "I'll play a game with you later."

The child's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly what game it was.

"Idiom Chain. Play two rounds, and you'll understand the benefits of reading."

The three children were getting impatient and ate faster.

The autumn afternoon is sunny and warm, which is very pleasant.

Ye Youlan brought them to the pavilion in the garden and asked Dingxiang to give each of them ten cents.

"The rules of the idiom chain game are very simple. I say an idiom first, and the next person says a new idiom starting with the last word of the idiom. If you can't remember it or say it wrong, you have to pay a penny. Whoever lasts until the end gets the money."

Ding Xiaoshan said, "Then Princess, you've suffered a loss, haven't you? This money was originally yours."

Ye Youlan smiled, her smile bright and beautiful: "I spent forty coins to buy your time for an entire afternoon, to talk and play games with me, to keep me from getting bored. I think I made a profit."

"Princess, let's get started!"

When the Seventh Prince returned home, he just entered Tingyu Pavilion when he heard laughter coming from the pavilion in the distance. He followed the sound and saw Ye Youlan and a few children talking about something there, looking very happy.

Looking at Ye Youlan's bright and unrestrained smile, he couldn't help but smile too.

He was about to go over, but Li Zhi stopped him and said, "Your Highness, if you go over there, I guess it won't be so joyful anymore."

The Seventh Prince turned around and glared at Li Zhi, his eyes dark and cold: "Why?"

"Those three kids are a little scared of you."

Does the Seventh Prince think I'm that scary? Am I not always kind and gracious when I come?

He didn't believe it, so he walked over with a smile. Dingxiang saw him first and quickly saluted: "Your Highness."

Ye Youlan put away her bright smile and said with a smile: "Why are you back? Didn't you say you would come back in the evening?"

The three little guys stood up and stood respectfully.

The Seventh Prince sat down next to Ye Youlan and gestured, "You two should sit down. What were you having so much fun playing just now?"

"We're playing the idiom chain game. So far, Zhao Yicheng has lost six coins, Jinbao has lost five coins, and Ding Xiaoshan and I are tied. Your Highness, do you want to play?"

"Okay!" The Seventh Prince agreed happily.

So the game started again, Ye Youlan said a new idiom, the prince took over, Ding Xiaoshan, Jin Bao, and Zhao Yicheng took over in turn.

But the atmosphere of the game changed inexplicably, and it became as tense as an exam.

Seeing the three little guys' serious faces, the Seventh Prince smiled and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Not afraid."

"Then why aren't you laughing?"

The three of them tried hard to smile: "We are laughing!"

Li Zhi felt a little embarrassed standing behind him.

Zhao Yicheng suddenly stood up: "I forgot, I still have to go home to take care of my younger brothers and sisters!"

Jinbao also agreed: "I still have homework to do."

Ding Xiaoshan turned his head to look at his two friends. Seeing them winking at him, he immediately stood up and said, "I promised Aunt Wen that I would go to the shop to draw talismans!"

The three little guys ran away in panic, walked a few steps and then turned back.

"Princess, don't forget to eat the fragrant rice I gave you. I'll give you more after you finish eating it. I have plenty at home."

"Sister Youlan, no, Princess, I'm giving you a rattle. You can play with it, or you can give it to your child."

"Princess, I'm sending you a bunch of beans. My mother grew them in the yard."

Ye Youlan smiled and asked Dingxiang to see them off, then seeing the speechless expression on the Seventh Prince's face, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Am I that terrible? Am I unkind to them?"

Ye Youlan comforted him, "There must be a misunderstanding. I'll ask them next time."

The Seventh Prince turned around and told Li Zhi to go and ask now, he wanted to know the answer.

Li Zhi thought, "Do I even need to ask this? You're not even smiling at everyone except the princess!" But he still had to go through the motions.

Ye Youlan asked the Seventh Prince what he was doing out so early this morning?

"You should rest and take care of your baby. I'm making some preparations before returning to the fiefdom."

Seeing the Seventh Prince's serious brow, Ye Youlan knew that leaving was not a simple matter of words. Whether or not to leave, and when to leave, all required an opportunity.

When she thought of the ending of the novel, where he rode his horse to the battlefield alone with a sword in hand, her nose felt sore.

"I'm tired, help me back to the house!"

After settling Ye Youlan down, the Seventh Prince returned to the study and asked Li Zhi to explain why the three little guys were afraid of him.

"They heard some rumors that you forced the princess to marry you, and that you killed countless people in the past and were very cruel."

Seeing the prince's gloomy face, Li Zhi quickly added, "I have already explained to them. They said that the man the princess likes is probably not a bad person. It's just that every time they see the prince, they can't help but feel afraid. He is not as kind as the princess, who is like a sister."

"What else did you say?"

"Zhao Yicheng said you're scarier than his father, and Jinbao said you're not as kind as his brother-in-law."

The Seventh Prince sneered, "Ding Xiaoshan wouldn't say that I'm not as good as his father, would he?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "Ding Xiaoshan didn't say that. He said the princess is amazing. She smiles so happily every day in front of the icy prince."

The Seventh Prince said coldly, "Tell the guards not to let them into the palace again."

This?

Yes.
