The Seventh Prince coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment. He cleared his throat and said to the outside, "Let Li Zong come in and talk!"

Li Zhi didn't understand what the Seventh Prince had up his sleeve, so he could only obey orders. He asked Li Zong to go in and say a few words and then come out.

Li Zong approached amidst the envied voices of the crowd. The door was ajar, and he gently pushed it open, only to be met with a scene that shocked him. The floor of the room was littered with messy clothes, and Li Zong trembled, blaming himself for not being there. Then, he heard a flirtatious voice from behind the screen.

"Prince, you are so annoying. You hurt me." A charming voice made people tremble with tingling sensation.

Li Zong panicked and turned around to leave, almost bumping into the door frame.

Li Zong blushed and said to the people outside: "The prince is fine, everyone please disperse!"

Ye Youlan lifted the quilt on her head and sat up, then saw that the Seventh Prince's face was as red as an eggplant, his eyes were evasive, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye.

She laughed at the Seventh Prince, but she didn't know that her face was also blushing, all the way down to her neck.

The two of them were awkward for a moment, but Ye Youlan soon reacted. She jumped off the bed, picked up the clothes and shoes outside the screen, and asked him to put them on quickly.

"I'll go out first, you come back after a while." Ye Youlan ordered. When she reached the door, she turned back.

The Seventh Prince was putting on his shoes when he looked up and saw Ye Youlan standing in front of him. Her skin was as white as snow and as rosy as peach blossoms. She was so beautiful that he could hear his heart pounding.

Ye Youlan pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind. She suddenly held up the Seventh Prince's face, lowered her head and sucked hard on his neck, then ran out wiping her mouth.

The Seventh Prince had an unreal feeling as if he was sitting on clouds, but the girl's warmth just now was indeed burning him, and the feeling was very strange and wonderful.

The Seventh Prince touched the place on his neck that Ye Youlan had touched. The smile on his lips could not be suppressed and spread across his entire face, blooming like a flower in his heart.

Li Zhi came in and saw the Seventh Prince smiling with his hands covering his neck. He asked worriedly if his neck was uncomfortable.

The Seventh Prince immediately put away his smile and said that he was fine and told him to go out!

After Ye Youlan left, she walked around Fengwan Pavilion and returned to the pavilion from another place. Li Zong called her from the side and asked her why she didn't look for him just now?

Ye Youlan pretended to be mysterious and told Li Zong: "I was looking for you just now, but I got lost. I discovered a secret."

Li Zong raised his eyebrows and asked her curiously what she found.

Ye Youlan covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "I just saw a girl go to Fengwan Pavilion where the Seventh Prince rests. I don't know whose girl is so bold as to flirt with the Prince in someone else's manor."

Li Zong reminded Ye Youlan that this matter should not be publicized.

Ye Youlan raised her head and said, "Why can't I say that the Seventh Prince is not decent? I will say it. I want the girls to see his true character and not think about marrying him as a princess."

Li Zong sighed, "Youlan, you will suffer if you do this. You can offend anyone but not the prince. Although he is only an idle prince now, he is still a member of the royal family after all."

Ye Youlan smiled: "I will remind you quietly."

Li Zong wanted to tell her that the Li family was planning to come and propose marriage, but Chen Xiaoling called Ye Youlan in front, and Ye Youlan ran away like a happy rabbit.

Li Zong doesn't like Ye Youlan. He thinks that Ye Youlan only has a nice name. She is a far cry from her name. She is too lively and noisy. She does not do anything except eating, drinking and having fun every day. She is too superficial.

His eyes looked at Qin Yurou in the distance. She was gentle and intellectual. No matter what they talked about, she had something to say, and she would look at you with admiration and support you.

But Qin Yurou was at the back of his father's plan. He was going to get rid of the prime minister, marry Ye Youlan, win a good reputation for them, then secretly torture Ye Youlan to death, wait six months before proposing Qin Yurou's hand in marriage, and form an alliance with the Minister of War, so he could call the shots at court.

Chen Xiaoling, Li Miaoyu and Jin Ruoyun saw Ye Youlan's blushing face, like peach blossoms in March, and asked her with a smile where she had been.

Ye Youlan pretended to be mysterious and told them that she had just gone to the wrong place when she went to look for Qin Yurou, and then she heard a woman's voice in the Seventh Prince's room in Fengwange.

Several girls looked disdainful and scolded the Seventh Prince for being shameless. How could he do such a thing in someone else's farm?

Ye Youlan quickly stopped them: "Don't take it so seriously. Maybe someone just admires the Seventh Prince and they're just chatting!"

"There is no cat that doesn't like fish. The Seventh Prince is a playboy by nature." Chen Xiaoling said angrily.

Ye Youlan listened to them scolding the Seventh Prince, and she could only say sorry to the Seventh Prince in her heart. After all, he had already taken so many scapegoats, so one more wouldn't matter.

The banquet began, and the Seventh Prince arrived in his immaculate crescent-white suit. The girls who had just complained about him stared at him intently, their gazes etched in a way that was particularly amusing.

Ye Youlan touched Chen Xiaoling: "Have you seen enough?"

Chen Xiaoling sighed: "The Seventh Prince is so handsome. It's so difficult for a man like him to be loyal to a woman."

The Seventh Prince sat down in an elegant and handsome posture. He lifted the corner of his clothes with his right hand, flicked it, and then sat down. His eyes swept forward and passed over Ye Youlan's face. He tilted his head, and the red strawberry mark on his long neck was eye-catching.

Everyone had already gossiped about it, but when they actually saw the evidence, the feelings were different. Some were envious, some jealous, some resentful, some despised, and some speculated about who that woman was.

Chen Su, the Minister of Works, was sitting on the prince's right hand side. Whenever he looked at the prince, the bright red mark would flash before his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder if the prince wanted to apply some medicine?

The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "It was scratched by a cat, it's no big deal."

It's really like trying to cover up one's own fault. It would have been fine if the prince didn't explain, but once he did, everyone wanted to laugh even more.

The banquet was over, and before everyone got up to leave, the steward of the Jin Mansion arrived and announced that the lucky draw would soon begin. A servant came over holding a box.

The butler asked the Seventh Prince to randomly draw five cards with corresponding numbers on them.

The Seventh Prince laughed at himself for feeling so stressed, then reached into the box with his slender fingers and took out five paper balls in a row. The steward opened the paper balls in front of everyone.

"Number six, number eleven, number nine, number fifteen, number seventeen."

Chen Xiaoling raised her hand, jumping for joy: "I'm number 11."

The five winners were Chen Xiaoling, Li Miaoyu, Zhao Biao, Li Zong, and Li Ke. The prizes were a basket of seasonal fruit, a box of tea, and a box of local produce.

Jin Ruoyun praised Ye Youlan for having so many ideas. After deducting the costs, she made a lot of profit, which she gave all as rewards to her servants, which really earned her some goodwill.

After the banquet, everyone who was tired went to the guest rooms to rest. Those who were not tired went to the flower hall to play cards and chat, to the pavilion to drink tea and chat, or to the pond to fish.
