Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

The Seventh Prince saw Ye Youlan frowning and closing her eyes, as if she was thinking about something. He smiled and came over to push her, and with a light push, Ye Youlan fell on the bed.

"What's there to think about?"

Ye Youlan shook her head: "This matter is beyond my control. The future has become complicated and confusing. I am a little scared."

The Seventh Prince saw that Ye Youlan didn't seem to be joking and asked her, "What do you know?"

Ye Youlan calmed down and smiled, "I thought Chen Su was just a small-time minister in the Ministry of Works. Who knew, like opening a blind box, that he was actually the prince of Yong'an Palace? He's really a hidden talent. But it's strange that his noble aura seems a lot weaker than yours."

The Seventh Prince laughed, "Prince Yong'an spent many years at the border. He was later enthroned as a king because of his contributions to the late emperor. Chen Su grew up in a different environment than I did. I was trained in etiquette and rules from birth. Sometimes I want to let loose, but I don't know how to do it."

Ye Youlan reached out and stroked the Seventh Prince's face: "Is this why you like me? Because I grew up freely in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The Seventh Prince's eyes were filled with emotion. "Indeed, I will never forget the first time I saw you. You were lively, bright, and reckless. At that moment, I felt like the sun was shining into my heart."

Ye Youlan said coquettishly, "Actually, I didn't go far after I ran away that day. I hid in the corner and watched you talking to father. Later, my eldest brother told me that it was the Seventh Prince, who was two years older than him. So I didn't take you seriously. I felt that you were an uncle of my generation."

The Seventh Prince's eyes were cold: "Do you dislike my age?"

Ye Youlan smiled, her face as bright as a peach blossom: "I don't dislike you, you are noble, handsome, considerate and kind. I, Ye Youlan, must have done so many good deeds in my previous life to be able to marry you in this life!"

Although the Seventh Prince knew that she was talking nonsense, he was still very happy and a smile appeared on his face again.

Ye Youlan asked, "Seventh Prince, now that the marriage is settled, are you planning to consider returning to the court to work?"

The Seventh Prince looked at Ye Youlan with a worried look in his eyes: "Do you want me to go back?"

"No, the court is full of intrigues and deceptions, which is exhausting. It's better to be a carefree and idle prince. I don't have to worry about food and clothing anyway, so why not enjoy life?"

"Don't you want a husband who is a noble or a general?"

"I have no great ambitions. Life is unpredictable. I just want to live freely and casually. If you want to return to the court and contribute, I will support you. If you don't want to, let's travel around the world, eat all the delicious food and see all the beautiful scenery."

"Once I finish the things I have on hand, I will take you to travel around."

Ye Youlan knew what he was going to do, and she reminded the Seventh Prince, "Someone wants to hide the truth. The investigation will be a very long process. Instead of focusing on finding the mastermind behind this, it is better to do something meaningful first."

The Seventh Prince's stern eyes revealed a gentle look: "What is meaningful?"

"More than 2,000 soldiers died in the Liangcheng ambush. You want to give them the truth and justice, but have you ever considered that helping their families live a good life might be more important than finding the truth?"

"The imperial court has provided compensation."

"That little money may not even reach the families in time. They may have sick elderly people or growing children at home. Their houses may leak in the summer and have no kang in the winter."

The Seventh Prince raised his eyes slightly, his handsome eyes flashing with surprise: "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Find a list of fallen soldiers, divide them into districts based on their registered residence, and then have people investigate and collect information about them. For example, we can assign one person to be responsible for those in the capital, and another to be responsible for those in Yaozhou. We can use the palace's shops to open branches in the local area to solve their livelihood problems and sponsor their children's education. We can sponsor outstanding young people to join the army or participate in the imperial examinations. Only by giving them a way out can we change the fate of an entire family. This way, the soldiers buried in the ground will also rest in peace."

The Seventh Prince reached out and hugged Ye Youlan in his arms: "Thank you, this has always been a knot in my heart. In the past two years, I have only been thinking about finding the truth. I haven't thought about it as deeply as you think."

"Then if you agree, I'll arrange for someone to do this. It will solve the hidden danger for the court, relieve your burden, and also take care of their relatives. It's three birds with one stone. Am I smart?"

"You are so smart. I will reward you well tonight. I will arrange for someone to do this now."

Ye Youlan said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, can I exchange it for another reward?"

The Seventh Prince raised his hand as he walked out: "No."

Let’s talk about Li Da, the Minister of State, who went out of the palace in the evening and saw a maid standing next to his carriage. She was his concubine’s maid.

When the little girl saw the master, her eyes sparkled: "Master, please go home and see Auntie. She said she feels uncomfortable in her stomach."

Li Da was displeased: "Just looking at her stomach will make her feel better? Am I a doctor? Can you hire a doctor for her?"

The little girl wiped her tears, and Li Da told her to leave quickly and not to embarrass herself at the palace gate.

Because people were coming out of the palace one after another at this time, Li Da hurriedly got in the car and asked the driver to drive back to the Shangshu Mansion.

The little girl stamped her feet in anxiety.

Li Da was worried, so he turned a street and asked the driver to take him to Taohua Lane.

The concubine's courtyard was small, tucked away in the middle of an alley. Two shabby lanterns hung at the door. Li Da had instructed them to be as low-key as possible.

Every time Li Da came here, he would have the carriage parked outside the alley, and he would come over with a large hat covering his face.

The concubine was in her early twenties and was redeemed from a brothel. She was very good at serving people. The treatment he could not get from his wife was satisfied here, so he was reluctant to send this concubine away.

The concubine had a plump figure and a charming posture. When she saw the master coming, she threw herself into his arms and cried.

"Have you asked a doctor to see the child? Is the child okay?"

The concubine shook her head: "The doctor said that if I want to keep the baby, I need to take more supplements to protect the fetus, but where do I have the money?"

"Didn't I just give you a hundred taels of silver yesterday? How did you spend it all again?"

The concubine raised her fair wrist and said, "I couldn't resist buying this mutton-fat jade bracelet when I went to the street yesterday. Master, do you think it looks good?"

"It's beautiful, but this bracelet shouldn't cost a hundred taels of silver, right?"

The concubine looked at Li Da in surprise and said, "Master, this bracelet is made of jade from the Western Regions. The shopkeeper wanted 150 taels of silver, but I bargained for a long time before he gave me 50 taels off. Look, I saved you 50 taels."

Li Da hummed: "Yes, you saved it for me."

The concubine asked the maid to serve the meal, saying that she had made some of the master's favorite side dishes today and would also prepare bath water for the master.

"I'm going back home today. I haven't been back for many days."

"Madam asked you to go back? Isn't Madam a vegetarian and a Buddhist, pure and simple?"

Li Da coughed twice and said, "Don't you want silver? I have to go back to get it for you."

The concubine immediately showed a charming smile: "Xiao Tao, don't prepare the meal, the master won't eat here."

Li Da got on the carriage and thought more and more that something was wrong. Who was he?
