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

Chapter 144 Staying Overnight
"No problem." Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

He clapped his hands and was about to turn around and walk out of the fence.

At this time, Lu Jilian moved slightly: "Prince Dun."

"Huh?" Chu Anlan stopped and turned around.

Lu Jilian took a few steps forward, his glassy eyes were cold, and he lowered his voice very low: "Your Highness was lucky for a while, but not for the rest of his life. I hope that Your Highness can always be as lucky as he is today."

After saying this, without waiting for Chu Anlan to speak, Lu Jilian's robe fluttered, and he had already blended into the crowd and walked away in the blink of an eye.

Chu Anlan clicked his tongue.

He took the wet towel handed to him by the servant, wiped his hands clean, shook his robe, took out the sachet and held it in his hand, then walked towards Ye Wanqing.

As night fell, Ye Wanqing still stood there waiting for him.

He strode over, smiling brightly: "Qing'er, I won! I told you, I would win!"

The corners of Ye Wanqing's lips moved, and finally she put on a faint smile: "Congratulations, Prince."

Chu Anlan was extremely happy.

On the side, Ye Chenxi came over and said, "An Lan, did you see what Prince Lu looked like when he left? His face was so dark! Today, you have completely offended him. Remember to avoid him when you see him in the future."

"Why do we have to go around?" Chu Anlan looked energetic: "I won fairly, there is no need to be afraid of him. If he is a true gentleman, he will not do anything to me."

Chu Gongxuan glanced at the sky and said, "The competition is over. I should go back to the palace. You should also go home early."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxi immediately asked, "Cousin, it's rare for you to leave the palace. How about staying at the Princess's Mansion tonight?"

"No." Chu Gongxuan replied: "As a prince, I am not allowed to stay outside without the permission of my father. Next time, before I leave the palace, I will inform my father in advance and stay with you for two days."

Ye Chenxi pouted: "The Princess's Mansion is not some other place. My mother is your aunt. How can you stay overnight at my house? If you don't want to live with me, just say so. Why bother to give me such perfunctory words?"

Chu Gongxuan is not good at speaking, and in front of Ye Chenxi, his cousin who is about the same age as him, he is often asked questions that leave him speechless.

He glanced at the guard beside him and said, "Go back to the palace and tell them that I will stay at the Princess's residence tonight."

The guard left in response.

On the return journey, Ye Chenxi, Ye Chenting and Chu Gongxuan took a carriage.

Ye Wanqing used the excuse that she had something to say to Chu Anlan, and the two of them took a car alone.

Inside the carriage.

Chu Anlan made an aggrieved expression: "Qing'er, when you told me today that you wanted to cancel the marriage, I was so sad. My heart still hurts now, and I need you to comfort me."

Ye Wanqing followed Chu Anlan's finger and looked at his heart: "Tonight, the prince should stay at the Princess's residence."

"What?" Chu Anlan almost couldn't stand up.

Surprise, it came too fast!

Chu Anlan didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that when Qing’er looked at his chest and collar, there was a hint of heat in her clear eyes.

Or maybe it was his eyes that were burning.

Even the blood in my body was boiling.

His throat rolled, and his trembling voice was tinged with an imperceptible hoarseness: "Isn't this...not appropriate?"

Ye Wanqing looked at him calmly: "Not only tonight, but also tomorrow night and the night after, I'm afraid the prince will have to live in the Princess's residence."

"Really?" Chu Anlan stood up happily.

"boom!"

The top of his head hit the roof of the carriage hard.

Chu Anlan was so shocked that he saw stars and gave a dry laugh. He felt the wall of the carriage in a daze and sat down again.

"Does it hurt?" Ye Wanqing asked.

"It doesn't hurt!" Chu Anlan shook his head happily, and then, as if regretting it, "It still hurts a little."

As he spoke, he took a breath of cold air. Ye Wanqing did not expose him, but cooperated and moved forward: "Sir, please bend down, let me see if you are hurt."

Chu Anlan bent down obediently.

The slightly messy long ponytail slid down along his shoulders and neck as he moved, spreading out between his robes, soft and smooth.

If you get closer, you can even smell the light fragrance between the hair.

Ye Wanqing held her breath and moved a little closer.

Before she moved her hands, Chu Anlan had already raised his head. His eyes, only a finger's distance away from her, were clear and bright.

"Qing'er." Chu Anlan spoke.

"Hmm?" Ye Wanqing responded.

Chu Anlan's mouth was dry: "Tonight, and for the next few nights, do I really have to stay in the Princess's Mansion?"

"Yes." Ye Wanqing nodded.

Chu Anlan sucked in a breath of cold air, and his eyes turned red all the way to the base of his neck: "I was almost blinded by lust and did something inappropriate. Qing'er, my self-control is very poor. Don't say such things to me before the wedding."

He was afraid that he couldn't help it.

Ye Wanqing couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "What is the prince thinking about?"

"Stay overnight." Chu Anlan replied.

"Yes, we are staying overnight." Ye Wanqing asked, "So, does the prince want to stay in Yingfeng Garden with his elder brother and the Sixth Prince tonight, or stay in Wuyang Garden with his second brother?"

Chu Anlan was stunned: "No..."

Jinghong Garden?

Ye Wanqing smiled but said nothing.

Only then did Chu Anlan realize that he had been fooled!

He gritted his teeth and approached Ye Wanqing bit by bit: "Qing'er, you actually set a trap for me?"

Ye Wanqing curved her lips and said, "The pit has been dug, will you jump in, Prince?"

"Jump, of course I have to jump." Chu Anlan sat back down: "You must have your reasons for letting me stay overnight, right? If you don't agree with me, I will make a scene."

Ye Wanqing said slowly, "Didn't the prince say that he would take me out of the capital to travel after marriage and would protect me? Recently, the prince has been slacking off in martial arts training and should be more diligent. So I have to persuade the elders to give in."

Is it because of this?
Chu Anlan sat up straight: "Although practicing martial arts is tiring, I will definitely practice martial arts well in order to take you out to travel. I will do whatever Qing'er says."

Ye Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "During this period of time, you have been staying at the Princess's residence. However, you can't let others know about this. After all, we haven't gotten married yet. If this gets out, the people from the Ministry of Rites will make a fuss again."

"That's easy!" Chu Anlan said excitedly, "Find a servant to dress up as me and have him ride in my carriage every night!"

Ye Wanqing nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

The two hit it off.

The eldest princess's mansion.

Because Ye Chenting sent a message home in advance saying that the Sixth Prince would stay in the mansion tonight, Chu Yanrong and Ye Hongwei came out to greet him in person.

Hearing that the children wanted to eat roasted whole lamb, Chu Yanrong casually reminded them to go to bed early, and then took Ye Hongwei back to her room.

Wuyang Garden.

Before the group entered the house, the sheep in the yard were already being roasted.

It was a dark night and only a few lanterns were hung in the yard, illuminating the swaying shadows of the trees.

Seeing that the light was too dim, Ye Chenting ordered people to hang a few more lights.

Several people sat around a table in the pavilion.

Chu Gongxuan took a sip of tea and said, "I haven't left the palace for a long time. Sitting here tonight, I actually feel it's so lively."
