Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince were in the flower hall, one drinking tea and the other reading. Xiaomei came in excitedly, put the silver on the table, and said excitedly, "Princess, we've sold all 100 of them. Do you want to make another 100 this afternoon?"

The Seventh Prince put down the book in his hand and looked at the silver on the table. He was really surprised. Could that be sold?

Ye Youlan was pleased: "We won't sell this scented purse. It's easy to imitate. What we sell is creativity."

"Here are ninety-five taels of silver. I will leave five taels for tea, as you instructed."

Ye Youlan said as she divided the silver: "The cost is about ten taels of silver. Five taels will be given to the shopkeeper, leaving eighty-five taels. You can use these fifteen taels to distribute to the embroiderers. The more work they do, the more they get. The less work they do, the less they get. The rest is for you and Li Yi's errands. The last seventy taels will be sent to the accounting office for recordation."

After Li Yi and Xiao Mei left, the Seventh Prince said, "You are making huge profits."

"Actually, what I sell is creativity, and this creativity is very valuable."

"Then there's no share of my profits?"

"You are all mine. I will keep them for you first."

Ye Youlan asked the Seventh Prince about his painting skills.

"Why are you suddenly concerned about my drawing skills?"

"My drawing skills are too poor. I have some good ideas that I can't express clearly just by talking about them. I want to learn to draw from you so that I can draw them directly. If your drawing skills are not good enough, I will ask Chen Su to come to your house to teach me."

The Seventh Prince said proudly: "My painting skills are average, but I am more than capable of teaching you."

Ye Youlan took his hand and said, "Come on, let's learn to paint now."

Miaoyu and Zhang Liang's wedding was set for December 8th. When Li Shangshu came to court, he saw Chen Shangshu, who was very proud. Chen Shangshu was not angry, but just smiled and said that he would go to the wedding to drink.

Minister Li was puzzled. "Why did your Xiaoling and Chen Su's marriage fall apart? Do you look down on Chen Su? Old Chen, you can't be a dishonest person. I can guarantee you Chen Su's character is absolutely reliable."

Minister Chen glared at Minister Li and said, "No rush, let's discuss this matter in the long run."

At this time, Li Da came over and asked with a smile what they were arguing about.

They both answered in unison: "Go play somewhere else."

"You two old guys, how did I offend you?"

Minister Chen sneered, "You are guilty of deceiving the emperor. You said you had cut off contact with the woman outside, but we all heard that the woman was pregnant. You are old, but you have good physical strength!"

Minister Li Da smiled awkwardly: "Nonsense, who wants to ruin my reputation?"

Minister Li pointed at Li Da's chest and said, "You know it clearly."

Li Da stood there and watched the two men leave, feeling angry and annoyed. At this time, he saw Prime Minister Ye coming over, so he stopped Prime Minister Ye and asked him to judge the matter.

Prime Minister Ye squinted his eyes and said disdainfully, "Why are you trying to harm people again?"

"Old Ye, you are wronging me."

"You'd better hide your tail and don't let us catch you."

Li Da was so angry that he didn't dare to complain to the emperor, so he went to complain to the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother sneered, "I've warned you long ago not to overdo things. Even Yilan is being forced to become a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures, yet you still refuse to change. Are you sure that the child that woman is pregnant is yours?"

Li Da blushed: "Empress Dowager, what do you mean by that? Of course it's my child."

"Your marriage was granted by the late emperor, and you must treat Yilan wholeheartedly. Now you've even had a child. Aren't you slapping the late emperor in the face? I heard that many people have filed memorials to accuse you. You'd better resolve this matter quickly and get that woman out of the capital."

"Yes."

When Chen Su returned to Prince Yong'an's mansion, Prince Yong'an and Princess Yong'an were surprised and happy, thinking that their son wanted to come back.

The frail child who had been his son when he left home has now grown into an adult, with a slender figure and increasingly the demeanor of Prince Yong'an.

Prince Yong'an asked him what he came back for?

"I want to marry Chen Xiaoling, the daughter of Minister Chen. I would like to ask someone to come and propose marriage in the name of the Yong'an Palace."

Prince Yong'an snorted, "Why? Did your cousin, a small-time yamen clerk, embarrass you?"

Princess Yong'an glared at Prince Yong'an and asked with a smile, "Su'er, is that girl pretty?"

"Beautiful, with a good personality."

"Then if we come forward, can you move back in?"

Chen Su looked at her father and said, "Everything is up to you, Dad."

"Then what if I don't agree?"

"Then I will marry Chen Xiaoling to my uncle's family, or I will be the Chen family's son-in-law, and you can go to the wedding banquet then."

"Nonsense, a man from the Yong'an Palace wants to be a son-in-law?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you just let them come back and live here?"

Prince Yong'an calmed down his anger and asked, "How did they know your identity?"

Chen Su said, "I took the initiative to tell Minister Chen and Madam Chen."

"They didn't suspect anything?"

Chen Su shook her head: "Dad, you have always kept your distance from the court. You only returned to the capital a few years ago. They don't understand our family's situation, so they were a little surprised when they heard about it."

"If we come forward to propose marriage, we will also announce to the world that you are the child of Prince Yong'an. Can you accept the consequences?"

"I can. I will work hard to make myself worthy of the title of Prince Yong'an."

"Then bring your uncle's family to live in the palace, so your aunt doesn't have to come here every now and then."

Princess Yong'an made up her mind, and Prince Yong'an said nothing more.

Chen Su smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."

Princess Yong'an took her son's hand and said, "Come and tell me about Chen Xiaoling. Mother is very curious."

"Mom, have you heard of the Five Golden Flowers of Beijing? Chen Xiaoling is one of them."

"Ah? Those are five crazy girls."

Chen Su smiled: "Chen Xiaoling is the craziest one, mother, be prepared."

"Then the palace will be bustling."

"Mom, aren't you worried that she might blow up the roof of the palace?"

Princess Yong rolled her eyes at her son and said, "Tear it off and then cover it up again."

"Xiaoling will be very happy if she hears this. She's even worried that you might not like her!"

"In the past few years since I came to the capital, I've interacted with many ladies and young ladies. I've also secretly observed some young ladies from wealthy families. They're so pretentious. To be honest, any of those girls would be a good choice for you to marry.

Yong'an Prefecture sent someone to propose marriage, but Minister Chen had no objection and said that the marriage could be held before December 8th. He just wanted to win back a point with Minister Li.

No one had expected that Chen Su was actually the child of Prince Yong'an and the future crown prince. This news caused an uproar.

After hearing this, Ye Youlan asked the Seventh Prince if he knew.

The Seventh Prince nodded to indicate that he knew!

"You knew that, and you didn't tell me?"

"But you didn't even ask me!"

Ye Youlan calmed down from her shock. She sat cross-legged on the bed and thought carefully about the description of Chen Su in the original novel. However, there was no mention of his life experience! It only mentioned in passing that Chen Xiaoling chose to marry Chen Su in the end.
