Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 53: Your Majesty, remember that you were forced into marriage

The day before the Seventh Prince and Li Youlan's wedding, Minister Li and his gang of lackeys suddenly reported to the emperor, saying that the wedding date given by the Imperial Observatory was fake and asked the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation.

The prime minister looked at Li Shangshu with disdain, thinking that he was just bored. He asked Li Shangshu if he had any evidence.

Minister Li asked the emperor to hand this matter over to the Dali Temple for investigation, and they would definitely find evidence.

The Prime Minister sneered and said, "I report to the Emperor that Minister Li has secretly kept a concubine, betrayed His Majesty's grace, and is corrupt, perverting the law, and forming a clique for personal gain."

Minister Li was so angry that he was shaking all over: "You are slandering me."

The Prime Minister laughed and said, "Let's hand this matter over to the Dali Temple for investigation. They will definitely find evidence."

The Prime Minister is using his own spear to attack his own shield. How wonderful!

The Emperor glanced at Minister Li and said, "I heard you haven't sent your concubine away yet? Your wife was so angry that she fell ill, yet you still went to the Buddhist temple to chant Buddhist scriptures. Is this how you view the marriage granted by the late Emperor?"

The emperor's voice was intimidating without him being angry. Minister Li was frightened and stopped arguing, saying that he had not visited his concubine for a long time.

"It's not that we won't go, but we want to completely sever ties. Yilan is the Queen Mother's favorite sister." The Prime Minister added fuel to the fire.

Minister Li winked at an official next to him. The official hesitated for a moment but still insisted on asking the emperor to check whether the Imperial Observatory had committed any fraud.

The Emperor coughed and asked, "My brother doesn't want to get married, and Youlan doesn't want to get married either. They both want to wait until next May, but I'm worried that things will get complicated if they don't get married. As long as they don't get married, the rumors in the capital will never stop. So the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had no choice but to look ahead and finally chose October 26th. Do you think you can investigate me as well before you're satisfied?"

Everyone fell silent and dared not say anything.

After the court session, Li Shangshu ignored the prime minister and angrily walked away. The prime minister shouted from behind, "Don't forget to come to the mansion to drink at the wedding tomorrow."

The Grand Tutor laughed, "Now you've seen Li Da's true colors, haven't you? I warned you before that Li Da was too good at pretending. You see, the two of you can't become in-laws, and he's been doing a lot of bad things."

The Prime Minister shook his head and said, "I used to think that since we were all candidates for the imperial examination and served in the same court, we should give each other face. I didn't expect this old man to go too far."

The Prime Minister reminded the Grand Tutor to come to his house for a drink tomorrow.

"I'll go to your house first, and then go to the prince's house for two drinks."

Ye Youlan was very angry when she heard Minister Li talking nonsense in front of the emperor. She called Li Yi down and asked him to go to the Minister's Mansion to shave Li Da's hair.

Xiaomei said, "Miss, isn't this too cruel?"

Ye Youlan sneered, "You're kind to him, but you don't know how cruel he is to us. I wish I could tear him into pieces."

"But if we shave Li Da's hair, people will immediately think of who did it. Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

Ye Youlan pinched Xiaomei's face: "Oh, you can analyze now, smart."

Ye Youlan asked Li Yi to put some laxative in Li Shangshu's tea so that he would go to the toilet more often.

Xiaomei wanted to remind Li Yi to be careful, but when she turned around, she couldn't see Li Yi anymore.

"Miss, did you see how Li Yi flew away?"

"Your man is very powerful."

Xiaomei was shy and proud. She had made up her mind that when Li Yi came back, she would kiss him again as a reward.

"Miss, are you still meeting the Seventh Prince tonight?"

"No, I need to get some beauty sleep so I can be the most beautiful bride tomorrow."

The wedding day finally arrived. The Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion had already been completely renovated, with bright red lanterns and red silks everywhere.

The Seventh Prince was wearing a brand new groom's suit and looked extremely handsome. He had been grinning from ear to ear since morning. Li Zhi reminded him many times, but in the end he really didn't want to remind him anymore.

Before the wedding time came, the Seventh Prince had already sat on his tall horse. Li Zhi whispered, "Prince, be more reserved. Remember, you are being forced into marriage."

The Seventh Prince put away his smile, his expression became serious, and he looked as if he wanted to keep strangers away.

The team set off, passing through the streets and alleys of the capital, surrounded by onlookers along the way.

"Your Highness, your physique doesn't look so bad, does it?"

"Yes."

"It's a vital injury, not an illness. They're two different things."

"Yes, the prince has always been in good health. It has nothing to do with his inability to be humane."

Li Zhi was blinded by what he heard. He glared at the crowd on the roadside, but he couldn't cover everyone's mouths, because even if Zhang San didn't say anything, Li Si would still say something.

The Seventh Prince looked calm. Whether he could do it or not was none of other people's business. As long as Ye Youlan was satisfied, the rumors would be proven false once the child was born.

But is it necessary to have a child so soon? No, having a child would distract Ye Youlan from her love for him, which he cannot tolerate. No, he would rather be misunderstood than have a child so early. It would be better for Ye Youlan not to have a child.

Along the way, the Seventh Prince did not pay attention to the situation on both sides of the road. He was always struggling with the invisible child in his heart, staging a big drama.

The Seventh Prince had traveled all over the capital, but still arrived too early. He stood outside the Prime Minister's Residence, anxiously waiting for the bride to get into the sedan chair. The Prime Minister's Residence staff repeatedly reminded him, "Don't rush. The auspicious time has not yet arrived."

The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion asked the Seventh Prince to come in and have a drink of water first. The Seventh Prince asked him if he could go and see Ye Youlan?

"I'm sorry, Seventh Prince, this is against the rules."

Ye Youlan was wearing a bright red wedding dress, and the maid was squeezing and putting makeup on her face. She cried out in pain and asked the maid to stop, saying that she was afraid of the pain.

Chen Xiaoling, Li Miaoyu and Jin Ruoyun laughed and said that she was so beautiful that the Seventh Prince must be very happy.

Chen Xiaoling said: "You can't die, we haven't even had our wedding night yet!"

Miaoyu glared at her. She realized she had said something wrong again and wanted to apologize. Ye Youlan smiled and said, "What if the Seventh Prince sees my beauty and becomes okay again?"

Everyone laughed, and the old woman laughed too: "Don't say such things outside."

Ye Youlan's face was red, as bright as the sun and as bright as spring.

Ye Youlan was about to get on the sedan chair. The prime minister, his wife, her elder brother and his wife all came to see her off. The prime minister's wife had red eyes. Ye Youlan comforted her mother not to cry and told her to go home if she wanted to.

General Ye carried his sister on his back out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and into the bridal sedan. He said to the Seventh Prince standing beside him, "If you dare to bully Youlan, I will kill you."

Everyone was stunned. General Ye was so fierce. They stared at the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince said respectfully, "Don't worry. I will take good care of Youlan."

"Wow, the Seventh Prince is so humble that he doesn't even call me the King."

"Marrying Ye Youlan is already considered marrying above his station."

"Yes, yes, it's pitiful to marry such a beautiful girl and just use her as a decoration."

The Seventh Prince breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "I won't treat her as a decoration! You really underestimate me."

"Youlan, let's go home." The Seventh Prince whispered to the people in the sedan chair.

Lift the sedan!

When the sedan chair landed at the palace gate, firecrackers blasted and gongs and drums resounded. Ten miles of red dowry, hundreds of loads of dowry, formed a long dragon at the palace gate.

The matchmaker came over and lifted the curtain to invite Ye Youlan down. The Seventh Prince reached out and held her delicate hand, and the two of them walked into the palace together.
