Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Ye Youlan was not angry either. The little girl loved to dream, and it would be fine as long as she woke up from her dream.

Ye Youlan pointed to the faint ridge of a mountain in the distance and said, "Qiao Ling, that's the mountain range that stretches between Gucheng and Qingzhou. The highest peak is right in Gucheng. Climb up to the top of the mountain tomorrow morning. There are wild daisies blooming there. Pick a handful and bring them to the palace. Remember, you have to climb up and pick them yourself for it to count. If you come to the palace, I will take you in. Okay?"

"it is good."

"not good."

Qiao Ling and Ding Xiang answered almost in unison.

Ye Youlan gave Qiao Ling a look: "I'll wait for you at the palace tomorrow."

Dingxiang followed the princess back to the palace. She didn't understand why the princess agreed. What if she picked some flowers and brought them back?

Ye Youlan told her not to make this matter public and that she had her own ideas.

When Qiao Ling returned home, she excitedly told her mother about this matter and asked her mother to prepare some dry food for her so that she could accompany her tomorrow.

"Are you crazy? You actually want to be the Seventh Prince's concubine? Is the Seventh Prince something you can even dream of?"

Qiao Ling was proud. The princess has already promised me that as long as I go up the mountain to pick daisies, I can enter the palace, and then you and dad can enjoy the good life with me.

Mrs. Qiao reached out and touched her daughter's forehead: "You don't have a fever?"

Qiao Ling shouted, "Mom, I'm serious. Whether it's true or not, I'll know after I try it. She's the Seventh Princess, how could she still joke with us?"

Although Mrs. Qiao didn't quite agree, she still made pancakes for her daughter. In the evening, when Qiao Da came back from work and wanted to eat pancakes, she even hit Qiao Da.

Qiao Da took out two snacks from his pocket and said, "These are snacks given by the princess. Can I exchange them for pancakes?"

Mrs. Qiao gave two pancakes to Qiao Da and gave the snack to Qiao Ling. Qiao Ling ate one herself and broke the other into two small pieces, giving one to each of her father and mother.

The next day, Qiao Da left home first, and Qiao Sao followed him out with Qiao Ling and their luggage. The usually stingy Qiao Sao even spent ten cents to hire a carriage to Shanggu Peak.

The carriage swayed for about two hours before reaching the foot of Shanggu Peak. Mrs. Qiao looked up and saw the mountain peaks rising into the clouds. She felt timid and wanted to persuade her daughter to give up.

Qiao Ling held up the hem of her skirt with both hands and told her mother, "You walk slowly behind me, I'll go up first."

Shanggu Peak is a barren mountain, dotted with cliffs and few trees. There are no temples or stairs leading up the mountain, so you have to be careful with every step, as you might slip and fall.

Qiao Ling had lived in the small town of Yangcheng since she was a child and had never climbed a mountain. As she climbed, sweat broke out on her forehead. She grabbed the rocks in front of her and walked up. Soon, her delicate skin was cut and blood oozed out. She felt distressed and anxious.

She sat down and shouted down to her mother to hurry up, but her mother didn't show her head for a long time.

She was so angry that she threw a stone down, and then decided to continue walking up. Suddenly, her foot slipped, and she fell to the ground. Her whole body slid down several meters. She was so scared that she shouted for help.

A protruding rock blocked her body, but it hurt her legs, and her clothes on her chest were torn, and her chest and stomach still hurt slightly.

"The Seventh Princess is just trying to make things difficult for me. I won't climb anymore."

After she had rested, she began to walk down carefully and soon reached her mother. Mrs. Qiao was sitting next to a rock at the foot of the mountain, not moving a step.

"Ling, you're back so soon?"

Qiao Ling was annoyed. "It's too difficult to climb. I can't even make it up. I'll just pick a bunch of daisies at the bottom of the mountain to fool the princess. No one knows where I picked these flowers anyway."

The mother and daughter wandered around the mountain for a long time but did not find any blooming daisies, only scattered unknown small wild flowers.

Mrs. Qiao sighed and advised her daughter to give up!

"If there are no daisies in the mountains, just go to the market and buy some. I don't believe there are no daisies in Valley City."

The carriage they had hired when they arrived was nowhere to be seen. They had actually forgotten to ask the driver to come back and pick them up. So how were they supposed to get back now? They could only walk.

The mother and daughter walked towards the main road, taking one step forward and one step back. It looked not far from the carriage, but it was really far when they walked.

It was really strange today. There was not a single carriage on the official road. There were a few pedestrians occasionally, but they didn't even look at them.

The mother and daughter walked and stopped, it took two hours to get there and nearly six hours to go back. Their feet were rubbed raw and their calves were swollen.

It was already the next morning when they returned to the city. The city gate had just opened and they were the first people to enter.

Coincidentally, in order to catch up with the progress, Qiao Da did not come back at night, so he did not know that the mother and daughter had not returned all night.

The two returned home and fell asleep, sleeping for a whole day and night before they recovered. During this time, someone from the embroidery workshop called Qiao Ling, and Qiao Ling said through the courtyard gate that she was sick and would come back in two days.

Three days later, Qiao Ling returned to normal. She went to the market and found no daisies at all. She suddenly realized that there might not be daisies in Gucheng, and the princess was teasing her.

She was very angry. She washed and dressed herself, put on beautiful clothes and decided to go to the palace to argue with the princess.

Ye Youlan was not surprised at Qiao Ling's arrival and asked her to come in and talk.

Ding Xiang saw Qiao Ling coming in empty-handed and couldn't help but sneer at her: "Where are the flowers?"

Qiao Ling saluted the princess with an angry look on her face, then said, "There are no daisies on Shanggu Peak. Princess, you are fooling me. You are bullying me, a commoner."

The corners of Ye Youlan's mouth curled up. This girl is not stupid, she even knows how to make a big deal out of things.

"You went up?"

Qiao Ling blushed. "It's too steep. I can't go up. I haven't found any daisies around the foot of the mountain, nor at the market, so there's no way they'd be on the mountain."

"This isn't a question of whether or not you have it. It's that you're not even willing to climb a mountain for the prince. Your love for the prince is cheap. What qualifications do you have to say you'll serve the prince with me?"

Qiao Ling's face turned even redder, but she didn't want to lose face: "I'm younger than you."

Ye Youlan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You are an interesting girl. In terms of youth, Dingxiang is younger and prettier than you. There are a lot of beautiful girls in my palace. Do you want me to call them over to show you?"

Qiao Ling knew that what the princess said was right. She actually felt guilty, so she remained silent.

"I don't know how your parents raised you, but I think you must have heard the saying that it's better to be the wife of a poor family than the concubine of a rich family. You have no advantages other than your youth, and yet you actually covet the prince?

Mr. Song likes Feng Xiaoniang because she has shining points that are worth liking. What do you have? Are you good at playing chess, calligraphy, painting, speaking and behaving? Do you have anything outstanding? This princess is giving you some advice because you are the niece of Qiao Changshi, but you really think you are a little bit stupid.
