Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 49: The Wedding Doesn’t Need to Be Extravagant

Li Zong had nothing to say. He asked Yu Rou to prepare a wheelchair for him so that he could go out and bask in the sun.

"I remember Xiaoling has one at home. It's just sitting there, so I'll ask someone to borrow it tomorrow."

Li Zong looked at Qin Yurou in disbelief: "The Shangshu Mansion has to borrow someone else's wheelchair. If this gets out, it will be a joke."

Qin Yurou was very calm: "Do you think I want to? Your Shangshu Mansion sounds very grand, but it's actually just an empty shell. The annual expenditure is so high, but the income is very small. If you don't increase income and cut down on expenses, you will have to pawn it in less than a year. I lowered my dignity to borrow money, and you still act so noble. How about you take over this family?"

After being scolded, Li Zong said, "Forget it. If I want to bask in the sun, I'll just move a chair outside."

Qin Yurou no longer forced herself and prepared to go out.

"It's so late, why are you still out?"

"Today is October 16th, and we need to pay half a month's wages to the people in the mansion."

Ye Youlan and her elder brother rode in the same carriage back home, but she didn't expect that the Seventh Prince would also lift the curtain and come in.

General Ye said disdainfully, "Seventh Prince, you should at least avoid suspicion. Why are you acting like a follower?"

Ye Youlan suppressed her laughter and looked straight at the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince laughed, "I'm even a live-in son-in-law, what else do I have to be afraid of?"

Seeing the two men's eyes locked, General Ye said, "The three-day son-in-law period has expired. You don't need to go to my house."

The Seventh Prince boasted: "I will be alone when I go back, it won't be as lively as the Prime Minister's Mansion with so many people. I can't adapt to going back now, it's too lonely at home."

Halfway through the journey, General Ye asked the driver to stop and wanted to get off.

"Brother, it's so late, where are you going?"

"Buy some osmanthus cake for your sister-in-law to take back." General Ye said this, then turned around and asked, "Seventh Prince, what do you want to buy for Youlan?"

The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "I asked Li Zhi to take quite a lot from the Prince's Palace. They should have all been delivered to the Prime Minister's Palace by now."

General Ye sat back in the carriage and gave the Seventh Prince a thumbs-up: "You are really capable. I admire you."

The Seventh Prince said modestly, "Actually, there's no way I can compare to the General. I heard that it took the General and my eldest sister-in-law less than a month from the time they first met to the time they got married, but it took Youlan and I several years to get together."

When Ye Youlan heard this, she quickly winked at the Seventh Prince and asked, "Why are you saying everything?"

The Seventh Prince gave him a look, meaning it was okay.

General Ye interrupted, "Don't make eyes at me, Youlan. Dad and I have known about your relationship with the Seventh Prince for a long time. We kept it a secret because we didn't want to embarrass you."

Ye Youlan held her forehead and looked at her eldest brother awkwardly: "Brother, I really didn't mean to hide this from you and Dad, it's just that this is a long story."

"No rush, we'll talk about it later when we have time."

The wedding date for the Seventh Prince and Ye Youlan was set for October 26th, ten days from now. This date was too hasty. The Prime Minister's Office thought it was too hasty. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that this was not feasible and that they would have to wait until May of the following year.

The Prime Minister's Office had no choice but to agree, and began to prepare the dowry. The Seventh Prince came over that night with a box of banknotes and told them to buy whatever they wanted without having to worry about the money.

General Ye closed the box and asked him to take his hands quickly.

"No matter how poor my Prime Minister's Mansion is, we can still afford to prepare a dowry for my sister."

The Seventh Prince felt a little aggrieved: "I don't mean to look down on you. I just want to give Youlan a grand wedding."

The Prime Minister's wife said, "We appreciate the prince's kindness, but we can still afford to compensate Youlan for her dowry."

The Seventh Prince corrected him, "Please don't call me Prince from now on, Mother-in-law. You can call me Li Ke or Ke'er. When I'm out, I'm Prince, but at home, I'm your son-in-law."

General Ye rolled his eyes at him and saw his mother smiling from ear to ear, and felt that his position in the family was in jeopardy.

Ye Youlan asked them to stop, saying that the wedding didn't have to be too exaggerated, or that she didn't care about things like a hundred loads of dowry and a ten-mile-long red wedding dress.

Everyone said in unison: "No."

Ye Youlan raised her hands: "Okay, you guys can do whatever you want. I can't see it anyway. I'm just thinking about whether I can embroider the wedding dress by myself."

Everyone said together: "You'd better not touch it."

Ye Youlan looked at everyone in confusion: "Don't they say that the bride makes her own wedding dress?"

The Prime Minister's wife smiled indulgently, "I've reminded you long ago to learn needlework, but you just wouldn't listen. Is your embroidery work really up to par? Better ask your sister-in-law for help!"

The Seventh Prince looked at Ye Youlan, who looked aggrieved, and said, "The palace has prepared several bridal gowns. They will be delivered soon. Youlan can wear whichever one she likes, and then just do a few symbolic embroidery strokes on it."

The prime minister's wife was delighted: "My son-in-law is really thoughtful."

The prime minister's wife returned to her room, the smile on her face disappearing. She said to the prime minister, "I am very satisfied with my son-in-law, but I am a little worried. Do you think the rumors about my son-in-law are true?"

The Prime Minister lay down on the bed and said, "Do you think that boy is in poor health?"

The Prime Minister's wife laughed, "That's right. In front of so many of us, his eyes were fixed on Youlan, as if he wished his eyes could grow on Youlan."

The same topic came up in General Ye's room. Yuhua asked as she helped the general change his clothes, "Are you really not worried about the Seventh Prince's sexual issues? Why do I feel like you and father don't care about this?"

General Ye smiled but said nothing.

Yuhua was a little disappointed: "I thought you and Dad loved Youlan very much, but I didn't expect you didn't care about her happiness."

General Ye put his arm around Yuhua's waist and pushed her down on the bed. He put his arm around her face and asked, "Is this happiness?"

Yuhua blushed, turned her face away and said nothing.

General Ye whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with him. Those are just rumors from the outside world."

Yuhua closed her eyes and said, "That's good."

General Ye stroked her eyelashes with his hand and asked her why she always closed her eyes. Didn't she want to see how powerful her husband was?

Yuhua covered her face and said, "I know it even without looking."

Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince were talking in the backyard. The autumn moon hung high in the sky, the branches swayed in the wind, and under the moonlight, a pair of beautiful lovers cuddled together.

"I knew you were the one who messed up the wedding date."

"I don't want to wait a moment. I can't wait to marry you home."

Ye Youlan is joking, are you feeling better?

The Seventh Prince kissed her fiercely and said, "You'll know after we get married."

Ye Youlan asked the Seventh Prince to go back to sleep, because she and Xiaoling and Miaoyu had an appointment with Ruoyun for tea tomorrow.

The Seventh Prince joked, "Can't you take a few of us men with you?"

Ye Youlan clapped her hands and cheered, "That's right, call Zhang Liang and Chen Su. We women can chat in one room, and you men can chat in another."

"Why don't you sit down and talk?"

Ye Youlan blushed: "You can't listen to the topics we talk about."
