Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Magistrate Zhang smiled and asked, "Minister Li, would you like to take a bath?"

"I want to take a shower, but there's no water."

Magistrate Zhang pulled him along and said, "Let's go wash in the backyard; it's cleaner there."

Li Zong was a little flattered and didn't know why County Magistrate Zhang was suddenly so nice to him?

Magistrate Zhang said flatteringly with a smile, "Minister Li, why are you so low-key? You haven't even mentioned that you're the son of Minister Li. I just received a letter from Minister Li asking me to take good care of you. Minister Li has been very kind to me, and I'm just worried I won't be able to repay him!"

Magistrate Zhang took Li Zong to the bathroom in the backyard and said, "Wash here. I'll get someone to rub your back. Take a hot bath and then have a good sleep."

Before Li Zong could say anything, County Magistrate Zhang closed the door. At this time, a maid came over with a plate of tea and fruit. County Magistrate Zhang turned and left, and the maid pushed the door open and went in.

Because Ye Youlan was not there, the gathering with Chen Xiaoling and the others didn't feel very lively, and everyone missed Ye Youlan very much.

Qin Yurou advised her to find something to do so that she wouldn't be bored.

Chen Xiaoling frowned slightly. "The Yong'an Palace doesn't need my concern. I'll just chat with Princess Yong'an every day to make her happy. Then, when Chen Su comes home, I'll go to Qingfeng Tower from time to time to read the Jinghua Women's Tabloid, and then meet up with you to talk."

Qin Yurou envied: "You are so lucky."

Miaoyu laughed at her: "You are not unlucky. The ladies in the capital all praise you for your ability to manage the household."

Ruoyun nodded: "Yurou, you are very capable. Look at me, I am often confused when taking care of household affairs, and I am often deceived by the servants from time to time."

Chen Xiaoling smiled and said that the one with the best luck was Ye Youlan.

Miaoyu nodded: "Who would have thought that the unruly Seventh Prince would obey Ye Youlan's every word? If we talk about the art of controlling a husband, it has to be Ye Youlan."

Ruoyun asked Miaoyu if Zhang Liang was disobedient?

Miaoyu blushed: "We were talking about Youlan, why did you bring me up?"

The sisters drank tea for a while in Qingfeng Tower and then went back to their respective places. It is not known when they will get together again.

Chen Xiaoling decided to go back to her parents' home before returning to Yong'an Palace. Mrs. Chen looked unhappy and listless, so Chen Xiaoling asked her mother with concern whether she had called a doctor.

Mrs. Chen asked the maid to leave. She blushed and looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Did Dad make you unhappy?"

"Your father didn't make me unhappy, it was me who was unhappy."

"Mom, you're making me anxious to death. Just tell me what you have to say. I'm your daughter."

Mrs. Chen pointed at her stomach. Chen Xiaoling stared at her stomach and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach? Have you gained weight?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head: "I'm pregnant."

"Huh?" Chen Xiaoling almost screamed, and Mrs. Chen quickly signaled her to be quiet.

"It's all your father's fault. He competes with Miaoyu's father every day. Whoever has another child first wins. Your father has nothing to do now. Now I'm really pregnant. You said my daughter just got married and I'm pregnant. It would be so embarrassing if the news got out at such an old age."

Chen Xiaoling laughed, "What's so embarrassing about this? This is called having a child in old age. First, it proves that my father is still as sharp as ever. Second, it proves that my father won the bet against Uncle Li. Third, it proves that this child is destined to be with our family. Mom, I support you in giving birth to the child."

Mrs. Chen asked sheepishly, "Can I really give birth to this child?"

"Sure, sure, don't hesitate. But you have to be careful and don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, I can move back in with you so I can take care of you."

Mrs. Chen waved her hand quickly: "No, you must come back, otherwise my in-laws will laugh at me."

Chen Xiaoling smiled and said, "When I get home tonight, I'll encourage my mother-in-law to have a baby as well, so I can play with my sister-in-law or brother-in-law every day."

"No fooling around."

The fact that Minister Chen had a son in his old age became a topic of conversation among ministers during lunch break.

Prime Minister Ye congratulated Minister Chen, and Minister Li also came to congratulate him, saying that he was inferior to him and would never compete with him again.

Minister Chen said, "No, if you don't compare, you'll miss out on a lot of fun in life. You should hurry up and have one. If both are boys or girls, you can make them siblings. If it's one boy and one girl, you can make them in-laws."

Minister Li bowed and begged for mercy. Li Da also came to join in the fun and congratulate Minister Chen. Minister Chen sarcastically said that if he didn't send the concubine away, the child would probably be born by then.

Li Da withdrew his smile and said, "Why did I send her away? Isn't it because you guys were always complaining about me behind my back? Don't think I don't know."

Prime Minister Ye looked at him with disdain: "I heard that you hooked up with Yilan's maid in the mansion again. Why can't you be honest and open in your actions? You only do sneaky things."

Li Da was very shocked. How did they know such a secret matter?

"Ye Chengming, you are slandering me. Show me the evidence."

"I don't care about your family's trivial matters. You'd better control yourself. You are such a grown-up and still act so mean."

Li Da curled his lips and said disdainfully, "I think you're envious. Look at all the ministers in the court, who doesn't have concubines and maids? Only you pretend to be noble every day. I even suspect that you are not in good health."

With a slap, Prime Minister Ye slapped Li Da in the face. Li Da stood firm in anger and pulled Prime Minister Ye. Everyone rushed forward to stop the fight.

In the imperial study, the emperor looked at the two men standing in front of him. One had a swollen face, and the other had his clothes torn off, scratches on his face, and disheveled hair.

"You two are almost a hundred years old combined, yet you're fighting in the palace. Aren't you ashamed? One is the Prime Minister and the other is the Minister of State. How can you set an example for others?"

Li Da covered his face, two of his teeth had been knocked out, and his speech was somewhat slurred. He said aggrievedly, "They are bullying me by taking advantage of their power and taking sides. Please, Your Majesty, help me."

The emperor's face darkened. "What's the point? Go home and reflect on your actions. I'll fine you three months' salary as a warning to others."

As soon as Li Da returned home, he called Qin Yurou to the flower hall and asked her to investigate who was gossiping in the family and told others about his affair with Qiuhong.

Qin Yurou pretended to be surprised: "Did Dad get beaten up today because of this?"

Li Da snorted, "I wasn't beaten. I had a fight with that old guy Ye Chengming, and the others took sides."

Qin Yurou said she would call a doctor for him right away.

"You must investigate this matter thoroughly and find this person and drive him out of the house."

When Qin Yurou waited for Li Da to go back to rest, she asked the housekeeper to come over and ask who leaked the news. Well, originally only a few people in the house knew about it, but after this investigation, everyone in the house knew about it.

In the end, Qin Yurou picked out two older women and asked them to go outside the city to look after the farm, and she got away with it.

Qiuhong was worried that she would be driven away too, but she didn't expect that the young mistress only scolded the two old maids, and the lady didn't mention the matter again. However, the lady didn't let her come back to serve, so she stayed in the master's room and became a maid.

Li Da felt very excited when he was doing it secretly before, but now that he was doing it openly, he lost interest in Qiu Hong. In addition, because she had lost two teeth, was punished by the emperor and ridiculed by his colleagues, he looked at Qiu Hong again and felt that apart from being younger and more beautiful, there was nothing good about her, so he gradually lost interest.

Seeing that the master was tired of her, Qiuhong was unwilling to waste her youth here, so she found the lady and begged her to agree to redeem her and let her leave the house.

The lady didn't say anything and agreed to let her leave the house, hoping that she would stay away from the capital and live a good life. Before leaving, she gave Qiuhong twenty taels of silver.
