Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

After breakfast, Ye Youlan went to her sister-in-law's house to hand in her homework, asking her to check the mandarin ducks she had embroidered last night. Xiaomei muttered to herself that it didn't matter whether she checked or not.

"How can they be the same?" Ye Youlan pointed at the handkerchief and said, "Last time I embroidered it, you said it was a duck, and a fat duck at that. This time, at least it's a lot thinner, right?"

Ye Youlan didn't expect that her elder brother was still at home, so she asked him if he was resting.

General Ye nodded and said, "Let me see if your embroidery has improved. If so, I'll buy you some red bean cakes."

"What kind of food does sister-in-law like?"

"I like the osmanthus cake from Qibaozhai."

Xiaomei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "There's osmanthus cake in the young lady's room. I'll go get it for the young lady to try."

General Ye wondered, "Doesn't my sister hate sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Ye Youlan said guiltily, "Xiaomei was careless and bought the wrong thing. It's just right that my sister-in-law likes it."

General Ye smiled and said that he remembered that he had something else to do outside the house.

When Ye Youlan waited for Xiaomei to come over with half a pound of osmanthus cake, she felt uneasy. Looking at the osmanthus cake that Xiaomei placed on the table, with the Qibaozhai sign still on it, she subconsciously asked her sister-in-law, "Did Big Brother drink with someone last night?"

The eldest sister-in-law was surprised: "How do you know? He seemed to be with Lord Li Chuang. Yes, that Li Zong was also there, but he had an argument with your eldest brother and left. And from what your eldest brother said, that Seventh Prince was also there. Your eldest brother didn't seem to like the Seventh Prince very much. I asked him why, but he wouldn't tell me."

Ye Youlan felt that her brother must have discovered something, and buying him the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was actually a test. She threw away her embroidery and said that she had forgotten about a meeting with Jin Ruoyun.

She pulled Xiaomei and walked away, and her sister-in-law reminded her not to run so fast as she might fall.

Good things don't work, but bad things do. Xiaomei stepped on Ye Youlan's skirt and she fell heavily to the ground, and Xiaomei also fell and fell on her.

When Xiaomei got up to help her, she kept crying out "ouch, ouch" as if she had twisted her ankle. Xiaomei quickly called for help to help the girl back to the house and went to call a doctor.

Her sister-in-law came to see her, and the prime minister's wife also came to see her, complaining that she was so old but still so impatient.

Ye Youlan's feet were swollen and she needed to stay in bed for a few days. After the doctor left, Ye Youlan asked her mother and sister-in-law to go home as well, saying that she was fine. She also told her mother and sister-in-law not to tell her father and brother about her condition.

Ye Youlan asked Xiaomei to go to the yard and coo a few times?

"Why are you crowing like a rooster?"

"I want to see if the Seventh Prince has arranged secret guards around me?"

Ye Youlan thought, isn’t this how it’s written in novels?

Xiaomei laughed when she heard this: "Miss, this is the Prime Minister's residence. In broad daylight, where are the Seventh Prince's secret guards hiding? You think too highly of the Seventh Prince."

Ye Youlan was not angry. She asked Xiaomei to give it a try. What if she was there?

Xiaomei didn't move. She stared at Ye Youlan curiously: "Miss, what are you looking for the Seventh Prince's secret guards for?"

"My eldest brother seems to suspect that the Seventh Prince and I are in a relationship. I'm a little worried, so I want the secret guards to remind the Seventh Prince not to fight."

"Miss, are you worried about the eldest young master getting beaten or the seventh prince getting beaten?"

Ye Youlan said seriously: "I want to hit you."

Xiaomei hurried out and stood in the yard looking at the eaves. There was nothing on the roof. She tried to coo a few times, but there was no response for a long time.

"Miss, there are no secret guards."

As soon as Xiaomei finished speaking, someone knocked on the window and asked, "What do you want, Miss?"

Ye Youlan was pleasantly surprised. She looked at Xiaomei triumphantly and said out the window, "Go tell the Seventh Prince that my eldest brother seems to be suspicious of him. Tell him to be prepared. Also, don't tell him that I sprained my ankle, so he doesn't worry."

Xiaomei quickly opened the window, but there was no one outside.

"Miss, don't you feel creepy that someone is always watching you?"

Ye Youlan shook her head: "He is here to protect me, not to spy on me. He should be hiding nearby. He will come over when you hear him cooing."

"That's good."

When the Seventh Prince heard Li Yi's report, he couldn't help but slap his thigh. He was too concerned and didn't expect Ye Qingchen to be a fox, just like his father.

"Apart from this, is there anything else to say?" The Seventh Prince's eyes were dim.

"Miss Ye asked me not to tell you that she sprained her ankle."

Reporting truthfully is the duty of a secret guard, Li Yi had to say.

Upon hearing Youlan sprained her ankle, the Seventh Prince stood up abruptly: "Is it serious?"

Li Yi shook his head: "The doctor said I need to rest for three to five days before I can walk again."

"Isn't this serious? I have to go see her."

Li Yi stopped the Seventh Prince who was about to rush out and said, "Your Highness, calm down. General Ye is now suspicious of you. If you go over there, you will be walking into a trap. Miss Ye will be angry at you for not listening."

Why does the word "obedient" sound so familiar? The Seventh Prince glared at Li Yi and told him to take back some of the palace's finest supplements.

The Seventh Prince waited in the Prince's Mansion for two days, but General Ye did not show up to call for punishment. He wondered if he had overestimated Ye Qingchen?

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, and the emperor summoned the seventh prince.

The Seventh Prince was not surprised to see the Prime Minister, the Minister of State, and the Grand Tutor in the Emperor's study. He was a little surprised by General Ye as well, but perhaps because he felt guilty, he didn't even look directly at General Ye.

The emperor asked the seventh prince to come to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner. Tomorrow, each palace in the harem and each prince's mansion will celebrate their own Mid-Autumn Festival. It's just a formality.

The emperor sighed, "Look, General Ye is two years younger than you and he's married. Li Zong is six years younger than you and will be getting married soon. Everyone else is here with their families for the family dinner tonight, but you're all alone."

The Seventh Prince was just about to say that it didn’t matter, isn’t it just a meal?

General Ye interrupted, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has a favorite girl. The last time I saw him, he had a purse from the girl."

The prime minister glared at his son. What's going on today? Why are you meddling in other people's private affairs?

The emperor became interested when he heard this. He was very pleased and asked the Seventh Prince whose girl that was.

The Seventh Prince said calmly, "I'm just trying to amuse General Ye and the others. I'm a playboy prince, so what girl would like me?"

The emperor was a little disappointed, and General Ye was also stunned. What did he mean?

"How will my prince celebrate tomorrow? Will he go to the Qinlou and Chuguan again?"

General Ye took a step forward and said, "If the Seventh Prince doesn't mind, please come to our Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to celebrate the festival together."

The prime minister gave his son a stern warning: "This is inappropriate."

The Seventh Prince was also stunned. He didn't know what General Ye was up to.

The emperor laughed, "Why does General Ye suddenly want to invite my brother to your house?"

General Ye explained, "Every Mid-Autumn Festival, I invite my non-Beijing gentry to my home. Firstly, it adds to the festive atmosphere, and secondly, it helps alleviate their homesickness. There are many talented young men among them. Your Highness, with his vast knowledge, would be wise to help me screen and choose the right one to be my brother-in-law. Our Ye family doesn't seek wealth or power; we only look at character."

The prime minister's tense face finally relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.

The emperor looked at the seventh prince and asked him what he thought.
