Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Ye Youlan also stood up: "Why are you yelling at me? Was it me who asked you to enter the palace? Was it me who asked you to drink porridge? Was it me who asked you not to go home at night? Was it me who asked you to have problems that required your wife to come forward to solve them?"

The Seventh Prince knew that Ye You was very sharp-tongued, but he really had no way to refute her: "Okay, it's my fault. I was careless."

Ye Youlan looked at the Seventh Prince and suddenly asked, "Is the Queen Mother your biological mother?"

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment and asked her why she asked that: "Of course it's my biological mother."

Ye Youlan couldn't help gossiping. She remembered that the book didn't mention these things, but now she couldn't help but be curious, otherwise there was no suitable reason why a mother would frame her own son.

"Look, the late emperor had seven sons. The emperor was the third, and you are the seventh. So where are the other five princes?"

"My eldest brother died of illness ten years ago. My second brother died of a cold. My fourth brother died of food poisoning when he was a child. My fifth brother was demoted to a commoner. My sixth brother went to a temple."

"It seems that you and the emperor are really born of the same mother, otherwise it would be difficult for you to survive."

The Seventh Prince's eyes turned cold: "What do you mean? I tell you, this is definitely not what the Queen Mother did."

"Why are you so anxious? I didn't say it was your mother who did it, but you seem to be trying to cover up something."

The Seventh Prince seemed to have hit the nail on the head: "Okay, you are right."

Ye Youlan pulled the Seventh Prince to sit at the table and asked him to tell her the secrets of the palace.

"That's not right. Shouldn't the focus of our discussion be on my innocence? Why are you asking about what's going on in the palace?"

Ye Youlan rolled her eyes at him: "Don't you know you're innocent? What's there to discuss? Don't worry, I trust you absolutely. If there's something wrong with the man I choose, it means there's something wrong with my vision."

The Seventh Prince's mood improved: "Then why did you ignore me just now and make me worry for so long?"

"You didn't do your job carefully, but you blamed me. I ignored you as a small punishment for you."

"Do you really believe me?"

Ye Youlan approached the Seventh Prince and asked playfully, "If one day I were framed and locked in a room with another man, would you choose to believe me?"

The Seventh Prince's heart ached: "I will protect you and won't let you fall into this trap?"

Ye Youlan's eyes were full of meaning. "If you can't even guarantee yourself, how can you guarantee my absolute safety? I'm just asking, if I were framed by a bad guy, would you believe me?"

The Seventh Prince twirled his fingers and answered seriously, "I just hope you live well. Nothing else matters."

Ye Youlan smiled, her eyes moist: "This is what I want to say. Even if you can't prove your innocence today, I will choose to believe you."

The Seventh Prince was very moved. He wanted to hug Ye Youlan, but was pushed away by Ye Youlan.

"You still mind, don't you?"

"I don't mind this matter. I mind that you are clearly capable of solving this matter, but why did you pretend to be confused and let my mother call me into the palace? You just want to test whether I really care about you. This is why I am angry. I thought we were people who trusted each other, but I didn't expect you still didn't trust me. My sincerity was tested by you, and I feel very bad."

The Seventh Prince took Ye Youlan's hand and said, "I'm sorry. Actually, I didn't sleep in the side room last night. I went to my father's former study. If I prove myself, it will cause more trouble, so I had to go along with it."

Ye Youlan's eyes lit up: "What are you looking for in the study? A letter or a keepsake?"

"how do you know?"

Ye Youlan thought that this was what was written in novels, so she was very curious and asked the Seventh Prince to tell her in detail.

"No, don't tell me yet. Let me guess."

The Seventh Prince looked at her with interest: "Then guess."

"Did you find half a jade pendant somewhere and think you've seen it before? Or maybe you saw it in your father's study when you were a child, so you went to the study to look for that half. If you found it, it means that some of your guesses were correct."

The Seventh Prince stroked Ye Youlan's hair. "I used to think you were lively and cute, but I didn't expect you to be so smart. You're right. When my people were investigating Li Da, they saw Madam Li in the Buddhist temple of the Li Mansion. She was my mother's good sister Yilan, who often played with half a jade pendant. So I copied the pattern, and it looks very familiar to me. So I suspect that my father had a romantic relationship with Yilan back then."

Ye Youlan seemed to have discovered a treasure, and her imagination suddenly opened up: "Could Li Zong be your brother?"

The Seventh Prince glared at Ye Youlan: "How is that idiot like my father? I don't understand why you liked him in the first place."

Ye Youlan thought it was all the author's fault. She explained, "If you don't know Li Zong well, you'll find he actually has many advantages. For example, he's handsome, though not as handsome as you, has a good personality, is very obedient, is eloquent, and knows how to please girls. We've been playing together since we were young, so naturally we're close. I'm wondering, you're two years older than my brother. If you could play together, you could come to the Prime Minister's Mansion often. If you always appear in front of me, would I still be attracted to Li Zong? So don't blame me. If you have to blame someone, it's only because you showed up too late."

The Seventh Prince laughed and said that he couldn’t quarrel with Ye Youlan because it would be his fault in the end.

The Empress Dowager's flower-viewing banquet was inexplicably cancelled, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiaoling said that going to the palace was not as interesting as going to a farm in the countryside, where one could have more freedom.

Ruoyun reminded her that the weather was getting colder and they should go again next spring.

"Spring has hundreds of flowers, autumn has the moon, summer has cool breezes, and winter has snow. Don't worry about trivial matters, this is the good time in the world."

Chen Xiaoling jokingly asked, "Ye Youlan, when did you become so talented?"

"I'm quietly improving and will surprise all of you."

"You've already amazed us enough, but don't turn it into a shock."

"Hate."

Everyone laughed. Whenever the sisters were together, there was laughter, especially Chen Xiaoling and Ye Youlan, who were always arguing with each other and joking with each other.

Miaoyu said regretfully: "Yurou didn't come this time. When we meet again next time, Xiaoling and I will be married."

Ye Youlan asked them, "What kind of person is Yu Rou's mother-in-law? I don't think I've ever met her."

Chen Xiaoling said, "I heard that she was the Empress Dowager's close friend. She always treated her like a younger sister and even asked the late Emperor to arrange a marriage for her. But I don't understand why she chose Li Da."

Ye Youlan said, "I heard that Li Da was also a handsome man when he was young. My father said that when he sees Li Zong, he can tell what his father looked like when he was young."

Ruoyun curled her lips and said, "My mother and I have attended many banquets in the palace, but Madam Li seems to have never attended. She only drinks tea and chats privately, and it is rare to see her go out. She is really a strange person."

"Mrs. Li must have been very beautiful when she was young, right?"

Miaoyu smiled and said, "She is quite beautiful. I heard from my mother that when she was young, she was one of the most beautiful women in the capital."

Chen Xiaoling suddenly remembered something: "Youlan, how is the preparation for your Beijing tabloid going? When will the first issue come out? I'm still waiting to see!"

Ye Youlan sighed, "There's no rush for this. I plan to set up a shop in the courtyard of Qingfeng Teahouse and hire a few capable people to do this job. Those of you who want to invest can each invest 20 taels. A hundred taels should be enough to start."

Several people said that they would ask the maid to send money over when they got home.

"No rush. Wait until I get the first issue of the tabloid out, and then you can take the money."
