Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 110 Misunderstanding resolved

Li Zhi thought, "How would I know if I go in and out with you?" He hurried to the outside of the study to ask the guard, who said that it was sent by Miss Ren Yue, and the princess asked Xiaomei to send it here for the prince to eat.

The Seventh Prince felt even more disgusted. He had already warned his mother, but he didn't expect her to do this.

"Is Ren Yue gone?"

"gone."

The Seventh Prince felt relieved: "Take this down."

Ye Youlan came in and said, "No, they brought it to me with good intentions. If you don't eat something, you will be sorry for their kindness."

Li Zhi retreated quickly, and in his heart he wished the prince good luck.

"I don't like it, but I will eat it if you make it."

"But I don't know what you like to eat." Ye Youlan picked up a piece of dessert and broke off a piece and put it in her mouth. "So you like this flavor. It's really light, and it tastes like chewing wax in your mouth."

The Seventh Prince came over with a smile: "Ren Yue and I only spent a few days together when we were five or six years old. I don't even know my taste, so how could she know?"

Ye Youlan said sourly, "But I heard that Ren Yue almost married you back then. Are you lying or is she lying?"

The Seventh Prince tried to hug Ye Youlan, but Ye Youlan refused and asked him to keep his distance and make things clear.

The Seventh Prince spread his hands and said, "What can I explain? When I was little, I was weak and sickly. She despised me to death. Later, in order to win over General Liu of Chu Nan, Ren Qishan married Ren Yue to General Liu's son. But the boy was so frail that he had no children after several years of marriage. He died in the fourth year. My mother waited until the three years of mourning were over and took her home to disgust me. I thought you trusted me enough, but I didn't expect you to still doubt me."

Ye Youlan smiled: "Then haven't you ever been moved? Ren Yue is outstandingly beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered. If I were a man, fifteen or sixteen years old, when I first fell in love, how could I not be moved?"

The Seventh Prince pondered her words and said, "So when you were fifteen or sixteen, you were attracted to Li Zong?"

"Don't mention Li Zong in front of me. He's a stain on my life. I actually thought about marrying him. Bah, bah, bah." Ye Youlan saw the Seventh Prince's mischievous eyes and said, "No, you're trying to change the subject. Have you ever fallen in love with her?"

"No, she is very beautiful, but there are many more beautiful people in the wealthy families in the capital, and I am not a butterfly who falls in love with every girl I see."

"Then why do you like me? I don't seem to have any outstanding qualities."

"I don't know either. I just remember you bumping into me when we came out of the Prime Minister's study. At that moment, my heart was pounding, and I had a feeling that the person I liked had appeared, and it was her."

Ye Youlan took a step forward and put her arm around the Seventh Prince's waist, looking up at him unhappily: "But since Ren Yue showed up, I've noticed that you're no longer enthusiastic towards me."

The Seventh Prince lowered his head and kissed her: "Weren't those days the unsafe period you mentioned? I didn't want you to drink contraceptive soup, so I could only endure it and pretend to be tired."

Ye Youlan showed a bright smile on her face, and the depression that had been accumulating in her heart for the past two days was swept away.

Early the next morning, the Seventh Prince was called into the palace again.

The Queen Mother looked a little tired. She looked at the Seventh Prince with a blank but scrutinizing gaze, as if she didn't recognize her son.

"The Emperor's birthday is in a few days. In the past, it was always me or the Empress who took care of it. But this year, the Empress is not feeling well, and I'm worried about letting someone else take care of it. I think Youlan is quite clever, so how about letting her do it?"

The Seventh Prince did not refuse and agreed immediately, which surprised the Queen Mother.

"If you need anything, you can come directly to me."

"Ok."

Seeing that there was nothing to say, the Queen Mother let the Seventh Prince go!

After the Seventh Prince left, the Queen Mother asked the palace maid, how is Li Da doing recently?

The palace maid told the empress dowager that Li Da had broken both legs and Madam Li had moved to Qingyue Temple.

The Queen Mother shook her head slightly in disdain: "What a useless thing."

Thinking of Yilan sitting alone by the lamp in Qingyue Temple, she felt a little proud. She was not happy, and Yilan did not deserve to be happy.

"Tell Ren Qishan that the Seventh Prince and his wife are planning a birthday party for the Emperor, so don't send invitations to his celebration party to the Seventh Prince. Also, remind him not to be extravagant."

The Seventh Prince went to the imperial study and told the emperor that Ye Youlan would be organizing this year's birthday party, and asked the emperor to forgive him if there were any shortcomings.

The Emperor smiled helplessly, "My Queen Mother is testing Youlan, but I'm really looking forward to it. I found all those birthday parties in the past boring. I'll be sorry to trouble you and Youlan."

Some things don't need to be said between brothers; everyone understands. The Emperor used the Seventh Prince to contain the Queen Mother and her family, reducing the interference and control of the Queen Mother's faction. After all, his ascension to the throne was inseparable from their support, but how could he willingly submit to their control? Thus, the Seventh Prince's existence created a balance between the three parties.

Ren Qishan did not obey the Queen Mother's order and still sent invitations to the Seventh Prince and Ye Youlan. The Queen Mother was so angry that she scolded Ren Qishan for becoming too arrogant and increasingly looking down on her.

The celebration banquet at Jinghua Academy was very lively that day. Almost all the dignitaries in the capital came, and all the young talents were present.

When Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince arrived, they couldn't help but sigh that this celebration banquet was not low-key at all and was even more lively than a market with many people.

Ren Qishan was wearing a purple robe, smiling and looking very proud.

Ye Youlan whispered that he was dressed like a purple sweet potato.

"What are purple sweet potatoes?"

"Something to eat."

Chen Xiaoling and Chen Su, Ruoyun and Li Chuang, Yu Rou and Li Zong all came.

Ye Youlan's gaze stayed on Li Zong for a second. She felt that he had gained weight, his face was lewd, and his whole body became chaotic. She looked at Yu Rou with some sympathy. Yu Rou always had a calm expression and never lost the demeanor of the mistress of the house.

The men went to chat aside, and a few women sat together drinking tea and gossiping.

"It's a pity Miaoyu can't come."

"She is recovering very well now and can walk again. We will visit her again in a few days."

Ye Youlan said regretfully, "The Empress Dowager has entrusted me with the responsibility of hosting the Emperor's birthday banquet this year. Could you please give me some ideas on how to make it more innovative?"

Ruoyun waved her hand. "There are many rules for a royal banquet. The slightest mistake could cost you your life. You'd better play it safe and copy the method from last year."

Yu Rou also agreed and reminded her not to make another big mess just to show off.

Ye Youlan felt that it was pointless to ask them, so it would be better to talk about something happy.

"Our Beijing Women's Tabloid is very popular. People from outside the capital have contacted us to sell it outside, and some shops have also come to us to advertise in the tabloid."

"What ad?"

“Advertising is about publicity, letting more people know.”

"I never thought that my investment of fifty taels would pay off in a blink of an eye, and all the future profits will be dividends. Youlan, think of some other business we can do together."

"We'll plan it after I finish the Emperor's birthday banquet."
