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

Chapter 149 A happy event

Ye Wanqing looked at him with curiosity: "Your Highness is afraid of ghosts?"

“I didn’t!” Chu Anlan took a deep breath and said, “As a man with masculine energy, why would you be afraid of ghosts?

Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you back right away…”

Ye Wanqing lowered her head and smiled.

Chu Anlan urged: "Let's go quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow to practice martial arts."

Ye Wanqing smiled even more heartily: "I'll take you back first."

Chu Anlan wanted to refuse: "Really, no need, I'm really not afraid of ghosts."

Ye Wanqing said softly: "The prince's hands are shaking."

Chu Anlan stammered, "I'm cold...Okay, I admit, I am indeed afraid of ghosts! They are invisible and intangible, so scary."

Ye Wanqing held his hand tightly and walked back slowly along the corridor: "In this world, the most terrifying thing is the human heart. Today, the prince was followed by someone again. Before the wedding, don't go out alone."

"Someone followed me again today?" Chu Anlan frowned.

Chu Anlan was so angry that he almost laughed.

"I have never committed any crime, nor have I ever been a whore or gambler... Who has so much free time to send someone to follow me all day long?"

Ye Wanqing slowly led him away: "What do you think, my lord?"

idea?

Chu Anlan said as he walked: "Think of a way to lure the person following me into a cage and force him to reveal the mastermind behind it."

"Is that all?" Ye Wanqing asked.

"Of course I'm going to retaliate severely." Chu Anlan gritted his teeth: "I was walking on the road peacefully, and he insisted on letting the dog bite me, so of course I had to kick it back."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Okay."

Chu Anlan held her hand tightly and said casually: "I think about it, and I don't know who I have offended. There are many people who don't like me, but they don't want to kill me. If I have to catch one and tell him, I can only think of one person..."

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing's heartbeat slowed down a beat.

He guessed it.

All along, she was unwilling to have too much interaction with Lu Jilian, nor did she want Chu Anlan and Lu Jilian to face off.

She never thought that Chu Anlan could defeat Lu Jilian.

Even if she has lived two lives, it won't work.

Therefore, she has been looking forward to getting married as soon as possible, and taking Chu Anlan away from the capital, as far away from Lu Jilian as possible.

But, things always go against one's wishes.

Ye Wanqing sighed softly in her heart.

Eight out of ten things in life are not as you wish, and it is unavoidable.

Seeing Ye Wanqing didn't say anything, Chu Anlan finally didn't say the name: "Speaking of which, the Dragon Boat Festival is in ten days. This year's Dragon Boat Festival, the palace banquet will be held at the Yukunshan Palace on the outskirts of the city. In addition to the garden boating, there will also be a dragon boat race. What do you think, should I sign up then? Chu Shaozhen and the others have all gone, it's so lively."

Dragon boat racing?
Ye Wanqing hesitated.

She didn't want to restrict Chu Anlan in everything, but Chu Anlan seemed to have an incompatibility with water, and something bad always happened when he encountered water.

She was hesitating about how to say this, but Chu Anlan spoke first: "Forget it, I'm not going. Next year's Dragon Boat Festival, maybe we won't be in Jindu, so this year's Dragon Boat Festival, I will just accompany you to go boating on the lake."

Ye Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Prince, come and prepare the boat for the lake cruise. I will prepare the refreshments."

"Okay!" Chu Anlan smiled brightly.

The two walked slowly in the night.

Ye Wanqing did not return to Jinghong Garden until Chu Anlan was sent out of the courtyard and Ye Chenxi came out to pick him up.

A good night's sleep.

the next day.

As soon as the sky brightened, the call of a magpie came from the largest tree in the mansion. Ye Wanqing was awakened by the call of the magpie.

Qianxi opened the door and came in: "Miss, Her Royal Highness the Princess said she wanted to sleep a little longer and have breakfast in her own courtyard today."

Ye Wanqing stood up: "Are the second brother and the prince awake?"

"After practice, go back and take a shower." Qianxi said with a smile: "The young lady is not doing morning exercises today, and the young masters are slacking off."

"It's not considered slacking off." Ying Xiang brought in clean water and clothes. "At dawn, they finished their riding and archery practice. Three days later, the Second Young Master will go to the Imperial Academy to take up his post. He needs to get up early a few days in advance to get used to it."

Ye Wanqing said with a smile: "Second brother has always been hardworking."

"Yes." Qianxi rolled up the bed curtains and said, "Poor Prince and the eldest young master, they both dozed off while doing horse stance. I don't know when they went to bed last night. I heard that the prince slept in the eldest young master's room last night, and the candle was not extinguished. They must have been reading storybooks together."

"Staying up late to read a storybook?" Yingxiang shook her head: "How bad is that for your eyes?"

Ye Wanqing seemed to guess why.

Chu Anlan really believed what she said: The Princess's Mansion was haunted.

This is really...

She said that last night just to coax him into sending her back to Jinghong Garden.

Looking back, how should I explain it?

Ye Wanqing pulled up the quilt and covered her entire face.

Qianxi asked: "Miss, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"I'm not going to sleep anymore." Ye Wanqing pulled down the quilt and cheered up: "Change my clothes. I need to wash and put on makeup."

Qianxi was puzzled: "Didn't the young lady say that when the weather is hot, putting on makeup makes your face feel stuffy and uncomfortable?"

Ying Xiang said: "Miss has given the order, just do it, why are there so many questions?"

Qianxi smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Yingxiang. I will go pick out some nice rouge and powder for you, and some jewelry."

"It doesn't have to be too fancy." Ye Wanqing reminded: "Just something plain will do."

"The servant understands."

……

After struggling for half an hour, Ye Wanqing finally left Jinghong Garden.

On the branches, the magpies are still calling non-stop.

"Strange." Qianxi looked up at the magpie on the elm tree and said, "It's been calling all morning. Is there some good news?"

Ying Xiang asked: "The Second Young Master won the second place in the palace examination and was admitted to the Hanlin Academy. Isn't this a great joy?"

Qianxi supported Ye Wanqing and said, "Yesterday, someone heard the princess instruct the housekeeper to give money to the servants in each courtyard this afternoon. It's also a happy event for us. It's all because of the Second Young Master's ability that we can benefit from it."

Ying Xiang smiled and said, "You can't remember other things, but you remember the words about giving money very clearly."

"That's right." Qianxi smiled and said, "Who doesn't like silver?"

The two of them were chatting lively, one on each side.

Ye Wanqing walked slowly: "Calculated, you two are older than me, and it's time to discuss marriage. If there is someone you like..."

"no!"

Qianxi held Ye Wanqing's arm tightly, "I am devoted to you, young lady. You don't need to worry about my marriage. You just need to pay me the monthly salary on time. Following you, young lady, not only will I have fine clothes and delicious food, but I will also receive money every month, and someone will take care of me and see me off when I get old. I am living a good life, so why get married? If I get married, not only will I have to pay money to take care of my husband and parents-in-law, but I will also have to give birth to and raise children, and no one will pay me money... If I think about it, I feel very uncomfortable."

Ye Wanqing laughed: "I've remembered everything you said. If you want to get married in the future, I will break up the couple."

In her previous life, Qianxi and Yingxiang accompanied her into the Lu family as dowry maids.

Perhaps life in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was too boring and the end was foreseeable at a glance, so Qianxi later simply married one of Lu Jilian's retainers and left the capital.

I remember Lu Jilian vaguely mentioned that Qianxi gave birth to a daughter, but her husband's family was quite unhappy with her and often beat, scolded and humiliated her.

Ye Wanqing once sent people to inquire, hoping to bring Qianxi back to her side, but she got the news that Qianxi had taken his daughter away.

I don’t know what happened later.
