Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time
Chapter 25: Your Majesty, Please Respect Yourself
The Seventh Prince's heart ached, but he had to keep a smile on the surface: "Children's marriages should be arranged by their parents and brothers. I am an outsider, and one with a bad reputation, so I will not get involved in this."
Minister Li stood aside, wondering why the topic had strayed off topic. He had come to ask the Emperor for permission to marry, and although the marriage had already been decided, he still wanted an imperial decree to show the Emperor his respect for the marriage. However, with all the chatter going on, the Emperor had ignored the matter.
The emperor asked the tutor to stay and everyone else to leave.
The prime minister came out and bowed to congratulate Minister Li and the Qin family on becoming relatives, and he would definitely attend the wedding.
Minister Li remained expressionless. He nodded in welcome, then smiled at the Seventh Prince, hoping that he would honor him with a visit.
The Seventh Prince nodded coldly: "I will go when I have time."
The Seventh Prince walked in front, the Prime Minister and his son walked behind, and the Minister slowly stopped. He didn't want to leave. He wanted to find another opportunity to try.
The prime minister whispered to his son from behind, "Are you really planning to invite those people under your command to your home?"
General Ye whispered, "I've arranged a few tables at the restaurant. I'm just testing the Seventh Prince on purpose. I'm afraid he's still thinking about Youlan."
The Prime Minister stopped and asked: "Did you discover something?"
General Ye nodded: "Let's go home and talk about it."
On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the moon is full, and every household celebrates reunion. While the Prime Minister's residence is bustling with activity during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Seventh Prince sits alone in the courtyard next door, drinking and gazing at the moon.
After dinner, Ye Youlan sat in the yard with her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law, chatting and admiring the moon. Ye Youlan yawned and said that she was sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep.
The eldest brother said, "It's only a short time now, why don't we play some cards?"
Ye Youlan pouted and said, "Brother, you're wasting your time on playing with things. How about we play Feihua Ling?"
The Prime Minister laughed and said, "Forget about the little knowledge you have!"
The Prime Minister looked at his son and daughter-in-law and said, "This is Yuhua's first Mid-Autumn Festival since she got married. She must be missing her in-laws. Qingchen, take some gifts and go visit your father-in-law. He must be lonely celebrating the festival alone. Go and spend some time with them and come back tomorrow."
When Yuhua heard this, her eyes became moist and she choked up and said, "Thank you, Dad."
Ye Youlan was about to return to her room when the prime minister stopped her and asked her to go to the study, saying that he had something to say.
Xiaomei asked in a low voice: "Miss, did the master discover something?"
Ye Youlan told her to remember that she must never admit it even if she was beaten to death.
"why?"
“That’s the strategy.”
In the study, the prime minister looked at her kindly and asked with a smile, "Li Zong is getting married, are you really not sad at all?"
"No, no, I'm not sad at all."
"Youlan, there's a saying that goes, 'If the old doesn't go, the new won't come.' Dad wants to ask you, what do you think of the Seventh Prince? Two years ago, when he returned from the battlefield, he expressed his desire to marry you, but I rejected him because of Li Zong."
Ye Youlan gave her father a thumbs up: "Dad, you were right to refuse. That Seventh Prince is a playboy. He's always visiting one brothel after another. It's disgusting just thinking about it."
The prime minister's brows relaxed. "I'm relieved that you don't like him. Remember to stay away from him next time you meet him. I'm afraid a man's sweet talk will make you lose your mind."
"Dad, I'm smart!"
The full moon is in the sky, and the sparse shadows are slanting across.
Li Zhi came over and asked the prince to go back to the house to eat something.
"Not hungry."
"Brothers are waiting for the prince!"
The prince handed the wine jug to Li Zhi, glanced sideways at the wall next door, sighed deeply, and felt extremely lonely.
He was dressed in black brocade, looking even taller and lonelier in the night. He walked towards the dining hall, where lights were bright in the distance, making it the brightest place in the entire house.
"Add a few more jars of wine for the brothers so they can drink to their heart's content."
The Seventh Prince was walking along, talking. Seeing no one responding, he turned around and saw that Li Zhi was no longer beside him. He frowned and continued walking. When he stepped into the hallway, he was stunned.
At the round table in the dining room, Ye Youlan was looking at him with a smile, her chin in her hand. When she saw him coming, she stood up and walked towards him. Her dress, in a couple-colored color, was like a lotus in a summer night, blooming in his heart.
At this moment, all his loneliness and desolation disappeared, and the bright sunshine and soft moonlight suddenly flooded into his world. He hurried over and made sure that her foot was healed before hugging Ye Youlan tightly in his arms. The softness of her body and the fragrance of her hair made him reluctant to let go.
He whispered in her ear: "It's a holiday today, why are you here?"
Ye Youlan smiled: "I don't want you to celebrate the holidays alone. I will spend every holiday with you from now on."
These were the most touching words of love the Seventh Prince had ever heard. He choked up and said, "Thank you."
Ye Youlan frowned: "You smell of alcohol. Remember, you are not allowed to drink when you see me in the future. I don't like men who drink."
"Okay, I'll stop drinking from now on."
Ye Youlan asked him to let go: "You are strangling me so hard that I can hardly breathe."
The Seventh Prince quickly let her go. Seeing her blushing face, smiling eyes, and charming face, especially her lips, which were rosy and attractive, he couldn't help but lower his head.
Ye Youlan pushed him away violently. The smell of alcohol made her want to vomit. "I didn't mean to do that. I just can't stand the smell of alcohol on you."
The Seventh Prince was a little embarrassed. He raised his arm and smelled it. Is it okay?
"I have a shallow stomach and cannot stand strange smells." Ye Youlan pulled him to sit down. "You don't even have a cook in your yard. How do you usually eat?"
The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "Tongfu Inn sent it over."
Ye Youlan said, "I wanted to show off my cooking skills, but there's nothing in the kitchen. So I'll make you a bowl of noodles. They're delicious. Try them."
The Seventh Prince saw that the bowl of noodles had frangipani and chopped green onions on it, which looked good. He took a bite and found it tasted good too.
"Did your cook teach you? I thought the Prime Minister and General Ye were reluctant to let you into the kitchen!"
Seeing that he was eating with such relish, Ye Youlan said proudly, "You forgot, I, Ye Youlan, am famous for eating, drinking and having fun."
The Seventh Prince asked how Ye Youlan got here, as he hadn't seen her in the backyard.
Ye Youlan chuckled: "Li Yi pulled it over to me with a belt."
After the Seventh Prince finished his meal, he reached out to hug Ye Youlan, but Ye Youlan quickly pushed him away: "It's late at night, and the moonlight is alluring. It's easy for something to happen. Please respect yourself, Your Highness."
The Seventh Prince sighed, "I've calculated how many hurdles I have to go through to marry you home. Every hurdle is difficult."
Ye Youlan's eyes were bright, like the autumn moon hanging high in the sky: "If you are afraid, you can give up."
The Seventh Prince held Ye Youlan's hand and said, "From the first time I saw you, I had only one thought in my mind: you are my only hope. I used to think I had no chance, so I let myself go and didn't care about my image. But now God has given me a chance. Even if it's only a one in ten thousand chance, I will give it my all."
