Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

She hated the Queen Mother, hated everyone in the Ren family who had sacrificed her, and hated every woman who had been favored by the Emperor, including Ye Youlan.

Because whenever Ye Youlan came to the palace, the emperor would have to see her. The emperor would always spend time pondering the questions Ye Youlan brought to the palace.

Last time she deliberately looked for Ye Youlan and asked her to help hang the blessing plaque, actually she just wanted to test the waters. She didn't expect Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince to be so cautious.

She also contributed to the last fire incident. Seeing the Ren family suffer heavy losses, she was very happy.

When Li Zong came, the Queen directly expressed her hope that Li Zong would serve her.

Li Zong was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing why the queen fell in love with him.

"You are the one favored by the Queen Mother, but I know she doesn't trust you, and you are unwilling to be used by her. Although she is my aunt, you must remember that this harem belongs to me after all."

Li Zong knew something about the relationship between the two women, especially after another girl from the Ren family entered the palace to become a concubine, he could also guess some clues.

Li Zong quickly expressed his loyalty, saying that he would cling to as many powerful people as possible.

"Tell me what the Queen Mother asked you to do."

So Li Zong talked about it, but he omitted the part about his father.

The Queen's attention was completely focused on Ye Youlan. She was a little puzzled. Ye Youlan was the Queen Mother's daughter-in-law. Wasn't the Queen Mother the one who loved the Seventh Prince the most? Why did she privately dislike Ye Youlan so much?

But she immediately figured it out, because the Seventh Prince hated being associated with the Ren family. After returning from the battlefield, the Seventh Prince cut off contact with the Ren family, and the Queen guessed that it was related to the Liangcheng case.

From Li Zong's few words, she deduced that the Seventh Prince was suspicious of the Ren family, and that the Queen Mother was also wary of the Seventh Prince. Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on her lips.

"From now on, just repeat to me what you told the Queen Mother."

The Queen winked at the maid, who handed Li Zong a note: "In three days, I will invite some of the ladies of the royal family to the palace for tea and flowers. Please ask your wife to come as well!"

Li Zong was overjoyed. The empress usually invited some ladies with imperial titles or wives of first-rank officials as well as royal relatives. Now she even allowed the wife of a mere minister to attend. This favor was truly extraordinary. He quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude.

The palace received an invitation from the queen, and Ye Youlan hesitated whether to go?

"I'll go with you. You can deal with it for a while, and I'll bring you out."

Ye Youlan was dressed very simply that day, without any makeup, except for a light application of lip balm to enhance her complexion. Her jet-black hair was tied in a simple bun with a silver hairpin inserted in it.

The Seventh Prince laughed, "It's beautiful, but isn't it too plain? It might make people think the palace is shabby."

Ye Youlan smiled brightly: "It's just a formality, not a beauty contest."

At 3:00 p.m., the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and the two entered the palace hand in hand.

The Seventh Prince accompanied Ye Youlan all the way to the outside of Fanghua Palace and watched her go in.

The one who accompanied Ye Youlan today was Xiaomei. She had followed her master into the palace several times and had some experience.

After Ye Youlan came in, she found that there were already several ladies sitting in the queen's room. Judging from their attire, they were of extraordinary status. She also noticed Qin Yurou and was a little surprised. The two of them just glanced at each other briefly.

After they had taken their seats, the Queen introduced the other ladies to Ye Youlan, who also stood up to greet the Princess. Ye Youlan smiled and nodded slightly.

The Empress looked good today, and seemed a bit plumper than she had been the other day. Ye Youlan thought to herself, the Ren family had so many beauties; no wonder they were all being sent to the palace. The Emperor, facing such a beauty, was surprisingly unmoved by his desires. It seemed the state was more important than beauty.

The topic started with freshly brewed tea.

The queen asked Ye Youlan to taste the newly tributed tea, which was fragrant and sweet.

Ye Youlan smiled and picked up the teacup and sniffed it: "It really smells good."

A lady saw that Ye Youlan was just smelling and not tasting it, and asked her in confusion why she didn't drink it?

"I have a small appetite and have had severe morning sickness lately. I haven't had tea for a long time."

"I didn't expect the princess to be so spoiled. When I was pregnant with my son, she took care of the family's food and drink until the day of the birth."

"Madam is right. I've been spoiled since I was little. My family spoils me and their food preferences are all based on me, so I can't stand any hardship. Today, when I came to the palace, I couldn't even stand the smell of makeup, so I put on some lip balm."

The Queen smiled faintly: "I really envy my sister-in-law. She has been favored by the Prime Minister and the General since she was a child, and now she is favored by the Prince."

Ye Youlan chuckled: "I was lucky. I jumped into the water to save someone, but I didn't expect to save a prince."

"There aren't many bodies of water in the capital. I wonder when the princess learned to swim?"

"I learned it when I was a kid, just splashing around in the bathtub. At the time, I was just focused on saving people and didn't think too much about it. Later, I realized that I do have some talent."

The Queen looked at Ye Youlan and then at Qin Yurou: "I heard that you and Madam Qin are close friends, why do you seem unfamiliar today?"

Ye Youlan looked at Yu Rou, who had dressed up carefully, apparently intending to please the queen.

"Madam Qin has a calm personality and doesn't like to show off in private. With so many ladies here today, we'll have another chance to chat later, but the opportunity to chat and talk with all the ladies and the Queen is rare."

Qin Yurou smiled: "Princess, you are right."

The palace maid brought snacks.

The Queen said, "I heard from the Emperor that the Princess particularly likes the snacks in the palace. She asks the Emperor for some every time she comes to the palace. Today, I specially asked the kitchen to make some for the Princess."

Ye Youlan wanted to curse the queen in her heart. What did she mean by asking the emperor for something? The snacks in my Tongfu Inn are no worse than those in the palace.

Ye Youlan scooped a little with a spoon and just put it to her mouth, she couldn't help feeling nauseous. She covered her mouth and vomited continuously. Xiaomei hurried over and took out a water bag from her sleeve and asked the princess to drink a few sips.

The Queen was displeased: "Princess, are you afraid that there might be something in my tea that you actually brought your own tea?"

Ye Youlan calmed down and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "I only brought ordinary boiled water. I can't stand other smells, so I always drink boiled water. This is my girl Xiaomei, who has always taken care of me like this. Besides, the emperor's sister-in-law has always loved me, so why would she put something in my tea? Even if she did, I think it was taken advantage of by bad people."

Ye Youlan pulled out the only hairpin from her head and put it into the tea. Unexpectedly, the silver hairpin changed color. Ye Youlan changed the direction of the hairpin and put it into the tea, and it also changed color.

Everyone was surprised and looked at the Queen. The Queen's face changed drastically: "What's going on? Someone is really using me to deal with you?"

Ye Youlan smiled and comforted the Queen: "Thanks to the child in my belly, I had severe morning sickness. Otherwise, if I had really fallen into the trap of the bad guys, the Queen would have been implicated as well."
