Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

The two left the palace. Qiao Luochuan took him to the state government office and introduced him to everyone. Before leaving, he told him, "I'll treat you to dinner at my home tonight. I forgot to tell you that I'm married. She's the granddaughter of my mentor."

Song Wen was happy for him and said he would definitely go in the evening.

When Empress Li Yun heard that her husband's good friend had come from the capital to seek refuge with him, she was very happy for him, because he had not had many friends in all these years.

In the evening, she returned home early from the embroidery workshop and asked the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Qiao Luochuan invited his mentor and his father-in-law and mother-in-law to come over, and it was a lively occasion with so many people.

Song Wen left the prefecture and his servant, Agui, brought him to Qiao Luochuan's residence. It was not far from the palace, nor from the market, a quiet spot amidst the hustle and bustle. Above the door were two large characters: Qiao Mansion.

Song Wen felt a little sad. If he had come here earlier, he should be doing better than Qiao Luochuan, right?

Qiao Luochuan came out to greet them when he heard the noise. Song Wen found that the yard was bigger and the environment was quiet. It was obvious that it was decorated with great care.

When they arrived at the dining room, Qiao Luochuan introduced him to his mentor, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and his wife.

Song Wen smiled and nodded to everyone, and after exchanging greetings, everyone sat down.

Song Wen felt the hospitality of the Qiao family and was very grateful. He even toasted them with several glasses of wine.

Yunniang didn't drink it because she was pregnant, so Qiao Luochuan helped her drink it.

Seeing Yunniang's pretty features, elegant manners, and graceful speech, Song Wen became even more envious of Qiao Luochuan.

I remember that I was the one who protected Qiao Luochuan in Beijing, but I never thought that one day I would have to rely on him for my livelihood.

Song Wen had a very pleasant meal and left feeling a little drunk.

After seeing Song Wen off, Qiao Luochuan sent his mentor back. His mentor asked his son and daughter-in-law to go back first, as he had a few words to say to his grandson-in-law.

He told Qiao Luochuan that Mr. Song was not a person to befriend.

Qiao Luochuan was surprised: "He took good care of me in Beijing."

"Time is different now. If someone who always does favors for others suddenly finds that the person they helped is doing better than them, they will definitely feel disappointed. If they can adjust their mindset, it should be fine. But if they keep comparing, it will easily lead to problems, so it is better to be cautious."

Qiao Luochuan disagreed, but nodded to show that he understood.

Song Wen was very competent and soon became familiar with everyone. He had outstanding professional skills and started giving lectures and exchanging calligraphy and painting. He soon had a large number of fans and became famous in Gucheng. People came to visit him every day.

When Ye Youlan heard that Yunniang was pregnant, she asked the nanny to send some supplements over and reminded Yunniang not to overwork. She had no friends here either. Yunniang was only half a friend because, due to her status, she would not completely open her heart to accept the princess as a friend.

Ye Youlan didn't care, as there were too many things to do every day.

When she wakes up in the morning, she goes to see her two children first, then deals with the affairs of the mansion and the matters that Qiao Luochuan has sent her that require her decision. She takes a nap in the afternoon and then continues to deal with things.

The prince would run around outside during the day, and sometimes go to the military camp. There were many things that needed to be resolved in implementing the garrison system, but it was much easier with the guidelines compiled by Ye Youlan.

That day, he and Li Zhi were returning home. When they passed by a snack shop, he gave his horse to Li Zhi and queued up to buy snacks himself.

Seeing a handsome man standing in the back of the line, some people in the front couldn't help but look sideways, wanting to look but not daring to, which looked very funny.

There were people drinking tea and chatting at the tea stall next to them.

"Have you heard? The man our princess loved in the capital before was not the prince, but a man named Li Zong. She was rejected by him, so she married the prince."

"Oh my god, there are men better than the prince? What's that look in the princess' eyes?"

"I heard that the man named Li Zong was about the same age as the princess, and they were in love, but the Seventh Prince stole her away."

"Yes, I heard about it too. A relative of mine went to the capital and said that the Seventh Prince is seven or eight years older than the Princess! He's even two years older than the Princess's brother."

"But I think the prince and princess are doing well. They both have two children."

"The princess is so pitiful. She gave birth to two children with a man she didn't like."

......

The Seventh Prince couldn't stand it any longer. He walked to the tea stall with a gloomy face and sat down in front of those people who were chatting.

"Go on, I'm curious, what else did you hear?" He took out a silver note and placed it on the table. "This is all for you."

So a few people started talking to each other, spitting and mouths dry.

The Seventh Prince's face had turned as black as charcoal at this time, but those people didn't pay attention to it. They were just concerned about getting more points the more they talked. Li Zhi was worried about them.

The Seventh Prince finally couldn't help but stand up and handed the banknotes to Li Zhi: "Take them to exchange for silver."

When Ye Xinfang heard that the prince had returned, she asked Dingxiang to quickly instruct the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The food is ready, but the Seventh Prince hasn't come out yet.

"Lilac, go call the prince to come for dinner."

Dingxiang came back and said that there was no sound in the study and she didn't dare to go in.

Ye Youlan frowned, wondering what was wrong with him today?

She went to call the prince in person, and just as she walked out of the dining room, she met Li Zhi who had just returned, and asked him what happened to the prince.

Li Zhi then told the princess what happened outside.

"Did you find out anything by interrogating those people?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "We haven't tried them yet. One of them was frightened to tears, two fainted, and two wet their pants. So we're putting them in jail first and letting them suffer a little."

Ye Youlan asked Li Zhi to go downstairs to eat first, and she went to invite the Seventh Prince.

The guard at the gate told the princess, "The prince has not come out since he went in. Miss Dingxiang called out to him just now but he didn't say a word."

Ye Youlan pushed the door open and saw the Seventh Prince lying on the couch with a small quilt covering his head.

She went over and lifted the quilt: "Aren't you feeling hot? Who made you unhappy? You are the dignified Seventh Prince, and you still need to sulk?"

The Seventh Prince sat up and stared at Ye Youlan: "Do I look old?"

Ye Youlan suppressed her laughter and touched his face, saying, "How old are you? You look so young! If you didn't keep a straight face and went out with me, people would definitely think you were my younger brother."

The Seventh Prince burst out laughing and hugged Ye Youlan in his arms: "You can't even lie. I'm worried that one day when I go out with you, people will say that I'm your father."

Ye Youlan pinched his face: "How dare you take advantage of me? I'll write a letter to tell my father and my eldest brother."

"My bad, I lost my temper."

"Don't take those street gossips seriously."

"But I feel bad. You said you didn't like me and that I stole your love."

"How could I not like you? If I don't like you, why would I come here with you and have two children with you?"

"Really love me?"

"If you continue to be so childish, I'm going to get angry."

The Seventh Prince lay down again: "But I feel uncomfortable. This is the first time I doubt myself so much."
