Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Most of the gifts received were deposited into the government treasury, a small portion was given as rewards to servants, and porridge was distributed to the poor people in the north of the city for three months.

General Ye was busy for a few days before he had some free time. He went to Yuhong's room and saw that her belly was slightly bulging, indicating that she must be four months pregnant. He gave her two hundred taels of silver and told her to buy whatever she wanted.

He was about to leave, but Yuhong pulled his sleeve and said shyly, "I can serve you now."

General Ye held her in his arms and patted her gently: "I'm very strong. What if I hurt the child? I was counting on you to give me a daughter as lovely as Yueyue!"

When Yuhua heard that the general went to Yuhong's room, she felt a little disappointed. This was the first night her husband had stayed at home in several months. She had asked the wet nurse to take the child away early today and asked the maid to clean the house. All the bedding was new, and she also took a bath and changed her clothes early.

She lay down but couldn't fall asleep, so she counted sheep in her mind. When she counted a thousand, she still felt no sleepiness. She got up and sat down with her knees hugged.

With a creak, the door opened and someone came in. Yuhua quickly lay down and pretended to be asleep.

General Ye came in and lay beside her, putting his face against hers, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "I know you are not asleep, you are waiting for me."

Yuhua turned around, her cheeks flushed and her eyes moist. She put her arms around General Ye's neck and said aggrievedly, "I thought you were staying in my sister's room!"

General Ye pressed her under him and said faintly, "Now you know you've been wronged. Why were you so foolish to push me to someone else?"

"I'm sorry, I thought I was very generous, but I'm still a little sad. I even found a lot of excuses to comfort myself. But things have come to this. I shouldn't be angry when you go to Yuhong."

"Don't worry, you will always be the first in my heart, and no one can replace you."

They spent the night in passionate entanglement and enjoyed themselves to the fullest, and both of them were extremely satisfied.

The Empress Dowager held a chrysanthemum appreciation party in the palace. The wives and daughters of fifth-rank officials in the capital all came, and even the usually low-key Princess Yong'an came to show her support.

Qin Yurou didn't expect that the Qin family's concubine would now show up as Mrs. Qin, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

It was the first time for Mrs. Qin to attend such a big occasion. She was not very confident. When she saw Qin Yurou, she smiled ingratiatingly and wanted Yurou to sit with her so that they could take care of each other. Qin Yurou turned around and sat next to Xiaoling.

Xiaoling is now the Crown Prince's Consort. Madam Qin thinks Qin Yurou is flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, so she turns her face away and ignores Qin Yurou.

Seeing Qin Yurou's tense and unhappy expression, Chen Xiaoling quietly asked if it was Madam Qin who made her unhappy.

"No, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"It's a pity that Ruoyun and Miaoyu didn't come, otherwise the five of us could sit together and chat again."

Qin Yurou was a little absent-minded. She looked at the ladies within her sight, wondering if there was any one suitable for Song Wen.

Chen Xiaoling touched her, reminding her that they should go for a walk outside. Princess Yong'an gently pulled Chen Xiaoling's sleeve and said, "Sit down."

Qin Yurou glanced sideways and saw the Queen Mother coming with a group of concubines, and everyone stood up to greet them.

The Queen Mother took her seat, and all the concubines sat down. The Queen Mother asked why the Seventh Princess didn't come?

A palace maid said that the Seventh Princess had gone to talk to Concubine Ren and would be here soon.

Everyone was discussing, when did the Seventh Princess become so close to Concubine Ren? The last time the Queen got into trouble, it was related to the Seventh Princess. When the Queen got into trouble, Concubine Ren entered the palace and was favored. Could it be that the Seventh Princess was behind this?

Qin Yurou and Chen Xiaoling both smiled and listened silently.

After a while, Ye Youlan came, saluted the empress dowager, and sat in her seat.

The Queen Mother asked Ye Youlan why she spent so much time with Concubine Ren?

Ye Youlan smiled: "Concubine Ren likes to play Sudoku. I played with her for a while, and then the Emperor came to see her, so I came over."

When the other concubines heard that the emperor went to see Concubine Ren again, they felt jealous, but they did not dare to say anything. The smiles on their faces were awkward but polite.

The palace maid came to report that we could go to the garden to appreciate the chrysanthemums.

The Queen Mother stood up and walked in front, followed by the others.

Ye Youlan deliberately fell behind, pulled Chen Xiaoling along, and looked at Qin Yurou: "A batch of hairy crabs has arrived at the mansion. I'll send a few to you later."

Various kinds of chrysanthemums in the garden are competing for beauty, but everyone’s attention is not on appreciating the flowers, but taking this opportunity to make more friends.

Suddenly a little boy of three or four years old ran over, and a young eunuch grabbed him and wanted to take him away.

The child didn't want to leave and wanted to pick flowers. Everyone looked at him and laughed, and were also curious about whose child he was. He looked unfamiliar.

The Queen Mother stopped and asked the little boy to come over.

The young eunuch was frightened and led the little boy over to pay his respects.

"This is the child of Concubine Liu's relative. He has been staying in the palace for two days. He is too playful and sneaked here."

The Queen Mother looked at the child with a smile on her face and asked everyone, "Don't you think this child looks familiar?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at the child carefully. There was a shadow of a person between his eyebrows and eyes. Everyone was surprised as if they had eaten a big melon, but no one dared to break the window paper.

"Seventh Brother, come over and see who this child looks like?"

As soon as the Queen Mother spoke, everyone looked back and saw Ye Youlan, Chen Xiaoling and Qin Yurou standing about ten feet away from them and talking, and they did not hear the Queen Mother's voice.

Someone helped shout, "Seventh Princess, the Queen Mother is calling you."

Ye Youlan came over and looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother pointed at the little boy in front of her and asked, "Who does he look like?"

Ye Youlan looked at this child and wondered why he looked so much like the Seventh Prince. Wait, what is the Queen Mother planning to do? Is she setting a trap again?

Ye Youlan smiled: "I think he looks quite like the emperor. Which prince is he?"

When everyone heard what Ye Youlan said, they felt that it was right. The emperor and the seventh prince looked alike. It would be more reliable to say that he looked like the emperor rather than the seventh prince.

The Queen Mother put away her smile and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

"I'm just guessing. It goes in one ear and out the other. Good-looking people all look alike. Only ugly people are all different."

Everyone laughed, and the Queen Mother asked the young eunuch to take the child away while they continued to enjoy the flowers.

Qin Yurou and Xiaoling held Ye Youlan back and asked, "Could this child really be the Seventh Prince's?"

"No, don't worry!"

"Are you so confident?"

"So confident."

The emperor and Concubine Ren also came to the banquet in the evening.

The Queen Mother sent someone to go to Concubine Liu's palace to invite the child and his mother over.

Everyone walked around the garden for half a day. They were very tired, but also very excited because there were melons to eat.

Chen Xiaoling and Qin Yurou looked at Ye Youlan with some concern. Ye Youlan was calm and ate slowly.

A woman in her twenties, wearing a lake green dress, very plain and tall, came over with a little boy to pay her respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

The emperor was puzzled and asked the empress dowager who this was.
