Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

"That group of bandits came suddenly. I've never heard of them before. I suspect they were a rebel group formed by Ren Qishan, who had been dormant in the mountains before, so I alerted the general."

How could Ye Youlan not worry?

"Although my eldest brother has been in the army for many years, he has always been stationed near the capital and has never been to the battlefield. Now Jiayang is plagued by flash floods and bandits. Can he and General Zhao handle it? And is General Zhao reliable?"

"General Zhao is fine. He's been to the battlefield with me before, but he may not be good at fighting in mountainous areas. Don't worry, I will send a few guards to stay with your eldest brother to protect him."

"Your Majesty, how about we go too?"

The Seventh Prince shook his head. "It's not right for us to go. If I were allowed to go everywhere, do you think the Emperor would be able to sleep at night?"

Ye Youlan thought that her elder brother would leave tomorrow, so she had to do something for him.

She asked the prince to rest first while she went to the study to study.

"Let's go together!"

Li Zhi took out the map of Jiayang and laid it out, and the Seventh Prince introduced the relevant situation of Jiayang.

After hearing this, Ye Youlan picked up her pen and wrote a lot of things about how to purify water, choose a place to camp, how to identify directions, etc. She also asked the kitchen to make some Huangshan sesame cakes.

The cook said she had never heard of Huangshan sesame cakes, so Ye Youlan went to the kitchen to explain to everyone how to make them. Anyway, they should make as many as they can tonight and deliver them to the city gate and give them to the eldest brother tomorrow morning.

The cook said that there were not that many ingredients in the house, but there was plenty of flour.

Ye Youlan thought about it and asked the cook to knead the dough with salt water, cut it into noodles and fry them in oil. Then, soak them in hot water before eating.

The kitchen became busy and even some embroiderers came to help.

The Seventh Prince asked Ye Youlan to write down the production method and send it to each store, and everyone started working on it that night.

Ye Youlan nodded excitedly: "Yes, everyone will be busy tonight and have a day off tomorrow. The wages will be doubled, not tripled."

So the next day at dawn, there was a huge crowd of people at the city gate, and the emperor even came out to see them off.

At this time, the food made by Rongji’s various shops filled the carts and lined up in a long queue to the city gate, which surprised everyone.

Seeing his sister's dark eyes, General Ye knew she must be worried. When he heard that the palace had prepared dry food for everyone, he said distressedly, "We have plenty of food and grass."

Ye Youlan took a bundle and handed it to her eldest brother, saying, "Here are some sesame cakes, which are very filling and can be kept for many days without going bad. There are also instant noodles, which can be eaten directly or soaked in hot water. There are also some medicines. Take them all with you and make sure you return safely. The prince and I are at home!"

General Ye asked his men to take over the dry food, and he returned to the team, waiting for the emperor's order.

The emperor was very moved when he learned that the shops in the palace had been busy all night preparing dry food for everyone. He rewarded Ye Youlan generously and ordered that the noble ladies in the capital should learn from Ye Youlan.

Ye Youlan secretly groaned. This was not a reward at all, it was like roasting her on the fire. The noble ladies in the capital would scold her to death.

After the emperor gave an impassioned speech standing on the city wall, General Ye led the crowd out. Within a stick of incense, the city gate had returned to its former appearance.

Rongji operated its business as usual the next day. Ye Youlan prepared banquets in several restaurants, and after the shops closed in the evening, all the shopkeepers and employees went to eat.

Although it cost a lot to prepare the dry food this time, it earned a lot of word of mouth and Rong Ji’s business became even more popular.

Ye Youlan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to comfort him before returning to the Prince's Mansion. She took a shower and took a nap until noon the next day, and had breakfast and lunch together.

After eating and drinking, the Seventh Prince took her to the study and asked her where all these wonderful ideas came from. It turned out that he had someone make a backup copy of what Ye Youlan had written.

"If you want to tell me that you read it in a book, please tell me which book it was in and where you got the book from. If you say you dreamed it, please tell me why only you could dream it."

Ye Youlan took a deep breath, her brain working rapidly, trying to think of how to make it go away.

Ye Youlan held the Seventh Prince's hand, staring at him with both eyes, and said seriously: "If I tell you that I come from a dream world, would you believe it?"

The Seventh Prince chuckled and said, "Be serious."

"I'm telling the truth. Do you remember the woman with short hair and a skirt you dreamed about before? She looks just like me. I'm telling you, that's me from another world. I ended up here because of some inexplicable coincidence."

"I'm really going to get angry if you keep talking nonsense."

"Okay, to be honest, I just read some random books and listened to other people's summaries. For example, you can definitely find sesame cakes in gourmet recipes. And as for finding directions in the mountains and choosing where to camp at night, veteran soldiers in the army will definitely have experience."

Seeing that the Seventh Prince didn't believe her, Ye Youlan added, "My eldest brother is a soldier. I learned a lot from him since I was a child. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaomei; she learned a lot too. Also, my father was the Prime Minister. When I was a child, many people came to visit my father at home and talked about all sorts of things. I just listened in. More importantly, I'm smart and I remember some things the moment I hear them. Oh, and I've also read all the books in your study. After reading a lot, I can draw inferences from one example and apply it to other similar cases."

"anything else?"

"There are also some storybooks that you think are just about love, but they actually contain a lot of knowledge worth learning. There are also many talented people in our palace. If you interact with them, you can also learn a lot."

"for example."

"For example, Li Yi grew up in the mountains and can tell you a lot about them. Like Liu Ma, she's a real flower grower. Haven't you noticed how many flowers are growing on the fence of her little courtyard? They're just as good as the ones grown by the gardener back home?"

The Seventh Prince now believes that Ye Youlan is really smart and can observe and summarize.

The Seventh Prince held Ye Youlan in his arms and pinched her face: "Fortunately, you are not a god who has descended to earth."

Ye Youlan playfully asked, "Isn't it good that I'm a deity who has come down to earth?"

"No, if you are a god who has come down to earth, the gods in heaven will know and take you back."

Five days later, we received intelligence that General Ye and others had arrived in Jiayang.

Ye Youlan took the little princess to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after comforting her mother, she went to comfort her sister-in-law.

"Youlan, I want to go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for the general."

Ye Youlan thought for a moment and said, "Just eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures at home! It doesn't matter where you are as long as your heart is sincere."

"Are you worried about someone plotting against you?"

Ye Youlan nodded: "Try not to leave the house recently. If you want to buy anything, ask the maid to go out."

Ye Youlan asked why she didn’t see Yuhong?

Yuhua said calmly, "She's pregnant and lying in the house!"

Ye Youlan sneered: "Big brother is really good, he is never idle at all, he is really a master of time management."
