The two of them came to the backyard, and the Seventh Prince put his arm around Ye Youlan's waist and jumped over the wall.

The courtyard next door was decorated with red lanterns. The lights weren't too bright, but the presence of so many lanterns made it seem particularly hazy and romantic. Ye Youlan was pleasantly surprised. She ran forward happily and turned around, "When did you prepare this?"

The two of them entered a wing room, which was very large and beautifully decorated, making Ye Youlan's room look particularly simple.

"From now on, we will come here and stay for a few days every month."

Ye Youlan happily ran to the Seventh Prince and put her arms around his neck: "Thank you, Seventh Prince."

The Seventh Prince looked at him mischievously: "How do you thank me? Tell me."

Ye Youlan stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently: "You'll know in a moment."

When the Seventh Prince was about to kiss back, Li Yi suddenly appeared and said that General Ye wanted to see him about something.

Ye Youlan was puzzled: "It's late at night and everyone is asleep. My eldest brother is so ignorant."

The Seventh Prince was a little annoyed: "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

The Seventh Prince left the room and climbed over the wall. He saw General Ye with his hands behind his back, looking at him in the moonlight. He felt a little embarrassed.

"Tomorrow I'll have my servants open a corner door in this wall to prevent my brother-in-law from rummaging around."

The Seventh Prince immediately calmed down and sat down at the long table with a smile. This table was placed there by Youlan before and had never been moved. There were two pots of wine and some side dishes on it.

"Brother, you didn't call me just to watch me climb over the wall, did you? Prepare some wine and food. Do you have anything to say?"

General Ye sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and then poured wine for the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince covered the glass with his hand and said that he had quit drinking.

General Ye teased: "Do you really listen to Youlan?"

"Don't you want me to listen to her?"

General Ye put down the wine jug and looked at the Seventh Prince meaningfully: "I always thought that Your Highness was just trying to please Youlan and was just doing this to please her. I didn't expect you to take it so seriously."

The Seventh Prince touched the empty wine glass in front of him with his fingers, his eyes dim, "So the general wants me to deal with Youlan?"

"Youlan is my only sister, so of course I hope you'll dote on her. But you and I are both men, so let me just say this: Youlan is just a little girl, very innocent. It's understandable that she's infatuated with you, but I hope you won't instill nonsense in her, lest she cause a big mess one day."

The Seventh Prince looked bewildered. "What did I instill in her? Please explain clearly. Since we're both men, there's nothing to be shy about. Just speak frankly!"

General Ye then unceremoniously explained the entire situation. The Seventh Prince stared at him in shock, his mouth hanging open. "How could a girl like her understand such things? Didn't you say that? You used to be a frequent visitor to those brothels."

"I have said many times that I went there to gather intelligence."

General Ye was too lazy to listen to his explanation. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. "Originally, you and Youlan are returning home today. I didn't want to talk about this, but after today, there may not be a good time to talk about this. Youlan is my sister and also your wife. You should pay more attention to her in the future and don't indulge her blindly.

General Ye left, but the Seventh Prince was still sitting there. He felt it was ridiculous. From yesterday when the Emperor and his mother took turns to talk to him to today when General Ye talked to him, it all showed one thing, that is, they did not believe that he was innocent in Jinguifang. This made him feel insulted and angry.

The Seventh Prince climbed over the wall in frustration, and he almost fell because of his unstable center of gravity. Fortunately, Li Yi helped him up in time.

"Were you present when the princess chatted with General Ye's wife today?"

Li Yi shook his head: "The prince once said that I was not allowed to get too close. I didn't hear anything."

The Seventh Prince sighed and let Li Yi go to cool off.

Back in the house, the Seventh Prince changed his expression and walked over with a smile on his face. He saw Ye Youlan asleep, one foot in the quilt and one foot outside, not even sleeping properly. Her black hair was loose, covering half of her fair face, and her rosy lips were even more dazzling under the light.

Hearing the noise, Ye Youlan opened her eyes and asked him with a smile, "What do you want, big brother?"

As the Seventh Prince took off his clothes, he asked, "What did you say to your sister-in-law today?"

Ye Youlan's face flushed slightly. "Sister-in-law is depressed because she hasn't conceived a child after four months of marriage. I reminded her that it's not that she and brother are not trying hard, but that it might be the wrong time. What's the matter, brother, why did you come to talk to you about this?"

The Seventh Prince was a little surprised when he saw Ye Youlan downplaying the situation and not taking it seriously at all. "Your eldest brother said you were naive. I was the one who told you all this nonsense. He said I was a frequent visitor to brothels and was afraid I would lead you astray."

The Seventh Prince said this, and then he felt aggrieved: "Actually, I find that you know more than me. Where did you know all this? Did my mother-in-law tell you, or did the maids in the mansion tell you?"

"Isn't this common sense? Anyone with a little knowledge of physiology should know this."

Ye Youlan slapped her mouth, and her mouth became loose again, and she forgot where she was.

The Seventh Prince lay down, staring at Ye Youlan, and said jokingly, "Are you Ye Youlan?"

"I'm not."

The Seventh Prince froze. "Then who are you?"

"I am a fox who has practiced for thousands of years and transformed into Ye Youlan to come to you. Are you satisfied?"

The Seventh Prince laughed: "Your eldest brother asked me to discipline you, but I can't handle you, a fox like you. It's really frustrating."

Ye Youlan sighed softly: "Big brother is still distant with me. My good intentions were misunderstood by him, and I feel a little sad."

The Seventh Prince pinched her nose and said, "What do you want your eldest brother to say about you? He's being very kind by coming to me to talk to me."

Ye Youlan put her arm around the prince's waist and said, "Thank you for not blaming me."

"Isn't this something you women talk about in private? What's there to blame? I'm curious, will you talk about something more explicit when you meet with your sisters tomorrow?"

Ye Youlan chuckled: "No, even though everyone talks so fiercely, they really get scared when they come."

General Ye returned to his room and saw Yuhua sitting on the edge of the bed, secretly wiping away tears. He was displeased: "I didn't say anything to you? Why are you crying?"

Yuhua raised her red eyes and said, "But it would be so embarrassing if you told your brother-in-law about this. What would Youlan think of me?"

General Ye chuckled. "I'm doing this for Youlan's own good. She needs to know what to say and what not to say. She used to have her father and me protecting her, but now she's married, and she married the prince. Things are good now, but there's no guarantee for the future! I'm talking to the Seventh Prince, not to blame Youlan, but to help her excuse herself. Anyway, if anyone says Youlan is wrong, it's the Seventh Prince's fault. I have to put the blame on him first so he won't look down on Youlan. You know that Youlan sometimes doesn't know the importance of words, and her carelessness can easily offend people."

After hearing General Ye's explanation, Yuhua finally burst into laughter, feeling that her worries were in vain.

"Actually, I think Youlan is right. I calculated the days, and every time you come home it's around my period. It seems you've avoided the days when it's easiest to get pregnant."

General Ye smiled and sat down next to her: "Then next time those days come, just remind me and I'll come back even if I take leave."
