Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

There was chaos in the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning because Xiaomei came back from outside and said that the young lady ran away from home last night and was caught by the Seventh Prince's men. Early in the morning, the Seventh Prince took the young lady into the palace.

The prime minister's wife urged the prime minister to go to the palace quickly. General Ye, who originally wanted to go to the military camp, also followed his father into the palace.

This morning, the emperor heard the most about the escape of the prime minister's daughter the previous day, and the city patrol search. The prime minister, in tears, said he would not force Youlan to marry, fearing she would jump into the river next.

The Shangshu did not forget to tease that your Youlan can swim.

The prime minister glared at him and said, "Get lost."

The minister quickly complained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the prime minister has insulted someone, and I want to sue him for defamation."

"Youlan is with the Queen Mother now. I will respect Youlan's opinion. There is no need to argue about this matter any further."

In the Queen Mother's palace, the Seventh Prince was filled with righteous indignation: "Mother, I didn't want to marry her, but she went too far. I have to marry her."

The Queen Mother asked the Seventh Prince to go down and have a rest. He must not have gotten enough rest yesterday, as he has dark circles under his eyes.

After the Seventh Prince left, the Queen Mother resumed her aloof demeanor and looked at Ye Youlan who was standing beside her. She was indeed pretty and charming. Her son's inhumanity did wrong her, but she had to marry her now. This was the best of both worlds.

"Tell me why you don't want to marry the Seventh Prince?"

Ye Youlan raised her large, watery eyes, looking at her with pity. "I have been raised under the care of my family since I was a child, and I am used to being free. There are too many rules for marrying into the royal family. I am afraid that it will bring disgrace to the royal family and bring trouble to my father and elder brother. Also, Your Highness will have countless women around him in the future. I am a simple-minded person, and I only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day. I really can't imagine the days of scheming and vying for favor with a group of women."

The Queen Mother's expression softened when she heard this. "That's easy. After you marry me, you'll be exempt from visiting the palace except for major festivals. After the Seventh Prince marries you, he won't marry anyone else. Are you willing to marry him?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Youlan nodded quickly, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your favor. However, I'm worried that the Seventh Prince might not be able to do it. After all, he used to be a frequent visitor to various brothels and had countless female friends around him. Unless the Queen Mother issues an imperial decree."

The Queen Mother thought that the Seventh Prince was in poor health now, and marrying more women would be useless and would only cause trouble. It would be better to satisfy her!

So the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree to marry the Seventh Prince and Ye Youlan, and asked the clan office to choose an auspicious date, which shocked the entire court.

What shocked them was that the Seventh Prince could only marry Ye Youlan and could not take any concubines, let alone concubines or maids. If anyone violated this, the Seventh Prince's title would be stripped, he would be demoted to a commoner, and his property would be confiscated.

Some speculated that the Seventh Prince's poor health was indeed the reason he wouldn't have agreed. Others speculated that the Emperor was taking this opportunity to deprive the Seventh Prince of his chance to seize power through marriage. After all, Miss Ye was unwilling to marry, and the Prime Minister's family was also opposed.

The prime minister was crying in the imperial study. How could the decree be issued without his consent?

The emperor asked him to wipe away his tears, saying that he was already old, wasn't it shameful?

"I'm the Emperor, don't I know this just like you? Where can I go to seek justice?"

The Prime Minister pleaded with the Emperor: "I am not entirely satisfied with the Seventh Prince. I would like to examine him further."

The emperor said impatiently, "The imperial decree has already been issued. What's the point of your investigation?"

"I just want to see the Seventh Prince's attitude. I want to invite the Seventh Prince to my Prime Minister's residence to be my son-in-law for three days."

"Nonsense."

The Seventh Prince, who had remained silent, said, "I agree."

The world is vast, and nothing is impossible. Who could have imagined that the dignified Seventh Prince would become a live-in son-in-law for three days before his wedding? It truly set a precedent for the royal family. Some resented the prime minister's bullying, while others envied him for supporting his daughter.

After leaving the Imperial Study, the Prime Minister said to the Seventh Prince, "Come to the Prime Minister's Residence tomorrow."

"How about I go there today?"

The prime minister couldn't help laughing when he saw the Seventh Prince's respectful look.

He and the Seventh Prince walked to the pavilion one after the other. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "Seventh Prince, was it very hard for you to sing this play?"

The Seventh Prince looked at the Prime Minister in surprise: "What do you mean, father-in-law?"

"You can treat others as fools, but you can't treat me as a fool and not tell the truth?"

The Seventh Prince was very clever. He immediately understood what the Prime Minister meant. "Let me go to your residence and discuss this in detail."

The prime minister was very satisfied: "Bring some snow mist tea when you come, it is a good tea."

"Last time, I gave the remaining half of the can to Youlan to make tea eggs."

The prime minister feels distressed!

"It's best to keep your affair with Youlan secret. If it's discovered that you two planned this, you'll be charged with deceiving the emperor and that'll be troublesome."

"My son-in-law will remember your teachings."

"You go first. I'll take Youlan home later."

Ye Youlan came out from the Queen Mother and saw a palace maid waiting for her, saying that the Emperor wanted to see her.

"How could the Emperor, who is so busy with affairs of state, meet with me?"

"Girl will know when she goes there."

The Emperor was waiting for her in the Imperial Garden. Ye Youlan was a little apprehensive, as this was her first time meeting the Emperor.

She walked up to the emperor and saluted him, but the emperor said no need.

The emperor motioned her to sit down. The table was filled with exquisite snacks, all of which Ye Youlan had never eaten before.

"I wonder what the Emperor wants to tell me about?"

The emperor smiled gently, "I thank you for saving my seventh brother. I also know that you were reluctant to marry him and that you were wronged."

Ye Youlan's eyes reddened upon hearing this: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. However, I also understand the difficulties faced by the royal family. I will not blame anyone. After I marry you, as long as the Seventh Prince treats me well, I will treat him sincerely in return."

The emperor was very satisfied with Ye Youlan's attitude: "If there is anything that my brother is not considerate of in the future, you can come to me to complain, and I will definitely support you."

Ye Youlan immediately smiled: "It's great to have the emperor backing me up. Now I feel very confident. With the queen mother's decree and the emperor's support, I will definitely be able to control the Seventh Prince perfectly."

Ye Youlan left the palace and took away all the snacks on the table. These were rewards from the emperor and could not be refused, so she had to take them away.

When she came out of the palace, she saw that her family's carriage was still there. She was a little confused and walked over. She saw the prime minister lifting the curtain and asking her to come up.

Ye Youlan got on the carriage and the prime minister asked her if she was happy.

"I'm happy, Dad. Look, the emperor has given me a lot of delicious food. Let's all try it when we get home."

"I'm talking about, are you happy to marry the Seventh Prince?"

Ye Youlan shook her head with a worried look on her face: "I'm not happy, but now I can only accept my fate."

The prime minister did not expose the truth either. He wanted to see how long his daughter would endure and then tell him.

When Ye Youlan returned home, the prime minister's wife and sister-in-law surrounded her, feeling sorry for her and wondering why she wanted to run away from her marriage.

Ye Youlan smiled apologetically: "Everything is calm now, everything is over."

Ye Youlan showed the imperial edict to her mother and sister-in-law. She fought for it herself, and after she married the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince would not dare to bully her.

The prime minister's wife looked at the prime minister, and only when she saw that he looked calm did she feel relieved.
