Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 229 There is a secret compartment under the bed

"I remember you said you'd choose the horse carefully. How come you bought the horse today after saying it yesterday? Don't try to fool me."

"I saw that Your Excellency was very anxious, so after sending Your Excellency to the palace, I went to the horse market. Our horse sold for one hundred taels of silver, and this new horse is four hundred taels, so the exchange cost three hundred taels."

Li Zong didn't know much about horses, and he didn't notice that the horses had been changed when he got on the carriage. He didn't worry about it anymore. He asked Master Chunwu to recruit ten more servants to strengthen the security of the courtyard.

He gave Master Qin Wu a silver note of one hundred taels, telling him that the cost of recruiting servants and training did not need to be paid through the mansion, but could be paid directly from him.

Li Zong believed that he must have capable people under his command. The reason why the Seventh Prince was so arrogant was because he had so many guards in his palace, both covert and overt. He also wanted to form his own palace army.

After Mr. Qin Wu left, he immediately went to see Qin Yurou and told her about this. Qin Yurou asked him to do it!

Li Zong took Xiao Bao to the courtyard where his father used to live. The two of them drove away all the guarding women and wanted to search the courtyard carefully.

First, Li Zong believed that his father should still have hidden banknotes and valuables. Second, he thought that what his father did during his lifetime was inseparable from his helpers. Now that his father was dead, those helpers disappeared. He wanted to reconnect with them and use them for his own benefit, so he had to find their contact information.

Hard work pays off, and he really found it.

There was a secret compartment under his father's bed, and inside it was a box with a lock. The two began to look for the key, but couldn't find it. Finally, Xiao Bao found some tools and pried the box open.

When they opened the box, their eyes widened. Inside was a thick stack of banknotes, which Li Zong roughly counted, about 30,000 taels, as well as some jewelry. At the bottom, there was a painting, which, upon opening it, revealed a portrait of his mother when she was young.

Li Zong's mood was very complicated. It turned out that his father had always had feelings for his mother, but why couldn't the two of them live a good life?

Xiao Bao took the bed sheet, poured everything in the box onto the sheet, and threw the box aside. Suddenly, a piece of board fell from the inner layer of the box, with a piece of paper inside.

Xiao Bao picked it up and handed it to Li Zong. Li Zong opened it and his hands were shaking. It was written about some things his father had done to help the empress dowager. It was the history of his father's rise to wealth, but also the history of the empress dowager's crimes.

It seems that this is his father's life-saving talisman. He must keep it well and use it to save his life when necessary.

The two of them felt at ease after hiding the things in the study.

Li Zong warned Xiao Bao not to be greedy and not to touch things that he shouldn't touch. His indenture contract was still in his house. If he did his job well, he would definitely get some benefits.

Xiao Bao nodded quickly: "I definitely won't. I just have one request."

"any request?"

"I'll be seventeen next year, and I want to marry Xiaohong. Master, is that okay with you?"

Li Zong laughed: "Aren't you only fourteen? How come you're seventeen already?"

"The younger one will indeed be seventeen next year, but because he is so skinny, he looks like fourteen or fifteen."

"Okay, it's just marrying a girl, I promise you. But you have to practice your physique, otherwise the night light in the bridal chamber will be unable to help you."

When Li Zong said this, he couldn't help but think of his first time with Qin Yuruo, and his body actually reacted.

"Go to Master Qin Wu and practice hard!"

Li Zong was about to go to Qin Yurou's room, and Xiao Bao followed behind to remind him that he hadn't been to Aunt Lan's place for some time.

"What was I going to do there when she was pregnant?"

Xiao Bao had taken advantage of Aunt Lan, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Aunt Lan said that I can serve Master even if I am pregnant."

Li Zong was secretly pleased with himself. He asked Xiao Bao to tell his wife that he still had some things to deal with and would come over later.

It’s Mid-Autumn Festival again.

The Seventh Prince took Ye Youlan and the little princess to the palace for a royal banquet, and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister and his wife were relatively safe, and their grandchildren were all there. Especially when they heard the Seventh Prince say that the bandit suppression was going smoothly and that he would be back soon, they were very happy.

Mrs. Ye asked why there was no movement next door? Had the work been stopped for a long time?

"The property next door has been sold, and after completing the formalities, they want to redesign and build a new yard."

"Why sell?"

"for safety."

Everyone understands the reason behind this, so there is no need to say more.

The Seventh Prince also gave the Prime Minister two cans of Snow Mist Tea, which he could drink until the new tea was produced next year.

The prime minister couldn't let it go, but he was also curious about how much silver it cost.

"This is a gift from your son-in-law to you. Talking about money will hurt our feelings." Ye Youlan told her father not to bring tea into the palace to show off, so as not to arouse jealousy.

"Know, know."

When the family of three returned to the palace, Xiaomei came over happily to talk to the princess.

The Seventh Prince glared at her and called Li Yi over to pull her away.

Entering the house, Ye Youlan scolded the Seventh Prince: "Why don't you let Xiaomei speak?"

"This girl has no sense at all. What is it that she has to say tonight?"

Youlan was still worried, so she asked Dingxiang to go over and ask. After a while, Dingxiang came over and said that she had an idea to make money, so let's talk about it tomorrow!

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Youlan asked Dingxiang to tell the housekeeper to ask the kitchen to prepare extra food so that everyone can have a happy holiday.

"What would you like to eat tonight, my Lord and my Princess?"

"I ate at the Prime Minister's Residence."

Youlan lay on the bed to play with her daughter, and the Seventh Prince called the wet nurse to take the child away.

"What's wrong with you today? You've been like this since you came to the palace, and you're still like this when you get home."

The Seventh Prince pulled Ye Youlan out and said, "I'll take you to the rooftop to enjoy the moon."

Ye Youlan was reluctant to go: "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."

The Seventh Prince stopped and asked, "Are you pregnant?"

Ye Youlan was startled and all her sleepiness disappeared: "Don't scare me."

To be on the safe side, she called the court doctor over and only felt relieved after confirming that she was not pregnant. After the court doctor left, Ye Youlan hit the Seventh Prince with her fist.

"I told you to stop talking nonsense. I told you to stop talking nonsense. You've ruined my holiday mood."

The Seventh Prince bolted the door from the inside, then carried Ye Youlan to the bed and whispered in her ear, "You'll feel better soon."

The courtyard is filled with moonlight, quiet and deserted. Inside the house, springtime is full of tenderness and love.

At the end of August, General Ye moved his troops back to the capital, accompanied by Lord Zheng and Chen Su.

Chen Su made great contributions in flood fighting and rescue, helping the victims and assisting General Ye in clearing out the bandits' lair. It was natural for Prince Yong'an to confer the title of Crown Prince on him, which was double joy.

The Yong'an Prince's Palace provided free porridge at the Tzu Chi Hall for three months, and people in the capital spread the news and applauded.

General Ye was promoted from the rank of General Zhuangwu to General Zhongwu, and Yuhua was given the title of Consort. The rest of his followers received various rewards.

The Ye family wanted to keep a low profile, but their financial situation didn't allow it. Because there were so many people coming to congratulate them, Ye Youlan had no choice but to invite the chefs from Rongji Restaurant to her house to help with a three-day buffet.
