Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 102 Passing the Imperial Examination
Ye Chenting smiled faintly: "Eyes and ears are very important, they need to be well taken care of. If you don't get enough rest, your condition will get worse easily."

"Yeah!" Chu Anlan nodded vigorously: "Second uncle, what you said makes a lot of sense. I'll go back to my room and sleep now."

At this time, Ye Wanqing came back with the medicine.

She handed the ointment to Chu Anlan: "Take this, Prince, and apply it to the injured area at the corner of your eye. Don't touch water."

Chu Anlan originally wanted Ye Wanqing to help apply the medicine, but Ye Chenting was standing at the door, which was really a nuisance.

He took the medicine bottle and said, "Qing'er, believe me, I really have never touched other women. If you don't believe me, I will let you check it, okay?"

As he spoke, he opened his arms and turned around.

Ye Wanqing's lips twitched slightly: "I don't disbelieve it."

Seeing that it was getting late at night, Ye Chenting interrupted in time: "If both of you are not sleepy, come to my room tonight to read books and copy scriptures."

Chu Anlan heard this and covered his eyes with his hands: "Ah, my eyes are starting to hurt again."

Ye Wanqing picked up a sachet and handed it to Ye Chenting: "Second brother, this is the hangover sachet I made for Chenxi. Put it next to his pillow, and he won't have a headache when he wakes up tomorrow."

"You are thoughtful." Ye Chenting took the sachet.

"Qing'er, where's mine?" Chu Anlan came over: "I also drank a lot tonight, and I also need to sober up."

Ye Wanqing smiled and handed over another sachet: "Take it."

Chu Anlan took the sachet and waved happily: "Go to sleep, see you tomorrow!"

After saying that, he swaggered back to his room.

Ye Chenting retracted his gaze and said in a gentle tone: "The guards are standing guard outside the door. Have a good sleep tonight. I will be there for you in everything."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Good night, second brother."

"Hello." Ye Chenting smiled at her and took the sachet back to the room.

Soon, the corridor became quiet.

In the room, Qianxi yawned and poked his head out: "Miss, have the Second Young Master and the Prince gone home?"

Ye Wanqing closed the door and said, "You can continue to sleep. You don't have to be on duty tonight."

"That won't do." Qianxi lifted the curtain, stood up from the couch, and put on her clothes neatly.

Ying Xiang put away the half-finished embroidery, cut off the curled wick, and lit the candle a little brighter: "Miss, don't feel sorry for us. We have been on duty all night for so many years, and we are used to it. It's getting late. I will help you wash up."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Okay."

……

the next day.

Ye Wanqing slept well all night and woke up around noon.

Ying Xiang opened the curtains and said with a smile, "I was just about to ask the young lady to get up, but unexpectedly, the young lady woke up on her own."

Ye Wanqing asked, "Have Second Brother and the others woke up?"

"The second young master is up, but the eldest young master and the prince are still asleep." Yingxiang finished speaking, and added: "The room of Prince Duan and the princess's wife is also quiet. As she was speaking, Qianxi whispered: "At dawn, the maid brought hot water into the room of Prince Duan and the princess's wife. Young people have great physical strength."

Ying Xiang heard this and blushed and scolded: "Qianxi, don't talk nonsense!"

Millennium stuck out his tongue.

Ye Wanqing looked normal: "We are going to go boating on the lake today. Have you prepared everything? Oil-paper umbrellas for sun protection, tea, snacks, etc."

"Everything is ready." Ying Xiang said calmly, "In order to prevent accidents, I have also prepared a change of clothes and shoes."

Ye Wanqing nodded.

Before they arrived in Lin'an City, Ye Chenting sent someone to book a large and luxurious houseboat in advance, and today's lunch would also be eaten in the houseboat.

Before going out, Yingxiang brought a bowl of porridge.

While we were eating, there was suddenly a burst of firecrackers on the street, followed by cheers from the crowd.

Qianxi ran to the window curiously, leaned out most of his body to look out for a while, then turned his head and said, "The county magistrate's nephew passed the imperial examination and is celebrating."

"Let me take a look." Yingxiang also stuck her head out.

At this time, someone knocked on the door: "Girl, are you awake? Can I come in?"

"Come in." Ye Wanqing said.

After a night's sleep, Ye Chenxi regained his vigor and vitality, and came in with a happy face: "Sister, the results of the imperial examination are out, and my second brother has passed the examination!" Ye Wanqing smiled: "Isn't this expected?"

Ye Chenxi said happily: "Only less than a hundred people were admitted to this examination. My second brother stood out from so many people. He is really amazing!"

As he was speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard again downstairs of the inn.

The horse stopped at the entrance of the inn, and a young man's clear voice came from downstairs: "Chu Anlan, Ye Chenxi, are you awake? Why don't you come downstairs to greet me?"

Ye Chenxi's ears were already erected, and he quickly ran to the window: "It's Chu Shaozhen and the others!"

As he spoke, he raised his hands and waved desperately downstairs: "Shao Zhen, Sheng Xi, we are here!"

Room No. 2, Tianzi.

The door was closed, but the windows were wide open.

Chu Anlan was sleeping soundly on the bed.

He drank a lot of wine last night, and then had a fight with Chu Xiaoyan. He fell asleep and never woke up.

While I was dreaming, my body suddenly became light, as if I was flying.

Then, my nose started to itch badly.

"A-choo..." A deafening sneeze echoed throughout the room.

Chu Anlan was awakened by his own sneeze.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a bunch of enlarged faces surrounding me, laughing in a particularly creepy way: "Hehe, hehehehe..."

Chu Anlan raised his hand and punched.

"Ow..."

Chu Shaozhen cried out in pain and fell to the ground, covering his eyes.

Seeing this, the other people rushed over to help him up, and asked in unison: "Chu Shaozhen, are you okay?"

"Do I look okay?" Chu Shaozhen was about to cry: "Hurry up and show me, am I disfigured? Are my eyeballs still in their sockets?"

"It's gone." A young man replied, "It flew out. Just sit here and don't move. I'll go out and find it for you."

Chu Shaozhen burst into tears.

The other few people were laughing so hard that they were staggering.

Chu Anlan woke up and scolded with a smile: "Are you guys sick? Do you think he is not timid enough? Why scare him?"

Then he got out of bed barefoot and said, "Let me take a look."

Chu Shaozhen turned his head away angrily.

His jaw tightened and was forcibly pulled back.

Chu Anlan looked down for a few times and said, "How long have you been traveling? Your eyes are red from staying up all night."

After saying that, he let go of Chu Shaozhen.

Yan Shengxi poured a glass of water and drank it, moistening his throat before saying, "Anlan, Chenxi, you guys are really not nice enough. You didn't even invite us when you came out to play."

"That's right!" echoed the other teenagers.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxi stood up and explained: "My second brother, An Lan and I are here to escort my sister to Lin'an City. If we were to go out alone, we would definitely ask you to come along."

Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "I am accompanying Qing'er to travel far away from the capital, why are you guys here to join in the fun? Such a beautiful spring day, you should be accompanying your own beautiful wives and concubines."

As he said this, without waiting for anyone to speak, he smiled brightly and said, "Look at me, I was so sleepy that I almost forgot that you have neither a beautiful wife nor a concubine, haha!"

Chu Shaozhen was so angry that he pushed him and said, "If you hadn't been so lucky and had won the favor of the princess, wouldn't you be the same as us?"

"Come to think of it, my family also went to the Princess's Mansion to propose marriage." said Zhu Shunqin, the second son of a scholar from the Hanlin Academy.

"Just you?" Chu Anlan turned his head.

Zhu Shunqin bowed to him and said, "An Lan, don't be angry. I just said it casually. I know I am not worthy of the princess. I am just joining in the fun."

Chu Anlan snorted, "Qing'er likes me, so it has nothing to do with you."

"Yes, yes, yes... You are pretty and you are right."

"You are sensible."
