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

Chapter 153 Banana Fan

Lu Jilian seemed to have calculated that she would turn around, so he stood there and looked at her quietly, his glassy blue eyes suppressing unpredictable emotions.

Ye Wanqing said coldly: "Don't touch him."

"Madam, do you think I will let him go since he has taken everything from me?" Lu Jilian coughed a few times, curved his pale lips, and looked at Ye Wanqing gently.

Ye Wanqing and Lu Jilian looked at each other.

Lu Jilian's glassy eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice, without any warmth.

Ye Wanqing said coldly: "Chu Anlan has never taken anything from you, and my marriage with him was something I asked for. Lord Lu is outstanding, and there are many noble ladies in the world who want to marry you, so why do you have to put all your thoughts on me?"

Lu Jilian stared at her: "You should have been mine."

"Lord Lu is wrong. I am a living person. I don't belong to anyone but myself." Ye Wanqing pursed her lips and said, "Lord Lu is well-versed in history. Why would he let himself be controlled by a false dream?"

"Is this really just an illusory dream?" Lu Jilian took a step closer to her: "If so, why are you hiding from me?"

As he said this, he was about to grab her wrist.

Ye Wanqing took a step back: "Lord Lu, please respect yourself."

Lu Jilian lowered his head and coughed a few times. When he looked up again, his eyes became colder and red at the corners of his eyes: "Tomorrow, I will go to Rongguang Temple again and light a long-burning lamp for Qingcheng. Let's start over. I will cherish you and love you.

After today's palace banquet, you and I will go to see the emperor and the queen mother, cancel your engagement with Chu Anlan, and marry me next month. I can give you whatever you want."

The surging emotions were suppressed heavily in Ye Wanqing's heart.

She took a deep breath and looked up at Lu Jilian: "In the eyes of Lord Lu, what am I? A vase, a puppet, a pet? Do you say what I want? It's impossible to break off the engagement with Chu Anlan, and it's even more impossible to marry you! Also, don't touch Chu Anlan. If he really gets hurt or something happens to him, I will put the blame on you."

After saying that, she turned and left.

After standing there in shock for a moment, Lu Jilian smiled.

Soon, a servant came running over and said, "Sir, the Marquis is looking for you. He wants you to accompany him to meet some masters."

"Father can't find anyone else to accompany him?" Lu Jilian retracted his gaze and said, "Let other young masters accompany him."

The servant was stunned: "But..."

Lu Jilian shook off his wide sleeves, coughed lightly, and disappeared into the shadows of the trees.

……

Yingxiang stood far away under the tree.

Seeing Ye Wanqing, he hurried over and asked worriedly, "Did the princess meet Lord Lu?"

"Yes." Ye Wanqing responded.

Ying Xiang's breath stagnated: "Master Lu didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"I'm fine." Ye Wanqing didn't want to say more: "Big brother and An Lan should have been waiting for me at Dingfeng Pavilion, let's go find them first."

Ying Xiang bowed and said, "I've spoken out of turn."

"Let's go."

The two walked up the mountain path.

Dingfeng Pavilion.

Ye Chenxi climbed on the guardrail and shouted: "We are here."

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes.

The young man in red in the pavilion was lying on the guardrail, with his ponytail tied high and his long silky hair cascading down, smiling brightly at her: "Qing'er."

Ye Wanqing smiled and slowly walked up the stairs.

It was already hot in May. After climbing the stone steps for a while, Ye Wanqing's face turned a light pink.

Chu Anlan reached out and pulled her: "Are you hot? Are you thirsty?"

As he spoke, he fanned her with his sleeve.

Ye Wanqing nodded: "It's very hot."

Chu Anlan pointed to the side and said, "There is a lotus pond over there, and there are banana trees planted beside the pond. I have asked someone to pick banana leaves. I will make you a banana fan later."

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "Okay."

Chu Anlan helped her sit down.

As soon as he sat down, a mountain breeze blew towards him. Ye Chenxi lay down and blew the wind: "There are so many people here today."

Ye Wanqing looked in the direction he was looking.

When she looked up, she saw the place where she, Lu Jilian, and the wife of Marquis Dingyuan had just stood.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chu Anlan.

Chu Anlan looked at her: "I saw it all."

Ye Chenxi also said: "What did Lu Jilian say to you? Just now, An Lan and I almost went down to save you."

Chu Anlan also looked at her.

The two of them looked eagerly, just like hungry fox cubs.

Ye Wanqing's voice became a little gentler: "Lord Lu went to look for the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, and he exchanged a few words with me. It was nothing important, not worth mentioning."

Ye Chenxi secretly glanced at Chu Anlan and asked, "Really? Lu Jilian also knows how to greet people?"

"Why don't you go ask him?" Ye Wanqing said.

Ye Chenxi stuck out his tongue: "Forget it then."

Chu Anlan reached out and patted Ye Chenxi on the back of the head: "Qing'er said no, that's it."

"Why did you hit me?" Ye Chenxi touched the back of his head aggrievedly: "I'm asking this for you. Aren't you worried that Lu Jilian will take advantage of his success in the imperial examination to snatch my sister from you?"

Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "Can he snatch it away? Qing'er and I are in love with each other, who does he think he is?"

Ye Chenxi touched his head: "That's right."

Ye Wanqing shook her head helplessly.

At this time, the servant who was sent to pick banana leaves came back.

Mo Yan and Yao Lin, each carrying two large pieces of green and shiny banana leaves, came over leisurely: "Sir, these are the banana leaves you requested."

Chu Anlan turned over and jumped over the guardrail.

Ye Chenxi also jumped down: "This leaf is good, it can be used to make several banana fans."

"Give it to me, I'll do it." Chu Anlan took out a short knife, half-knelt on the ground, and cut the banana leaves into several pieces.

He turned around, looked up and asked Ye Wanqing who was standing by the guardrail: "Qing'er, do you want a round fan or a square fan?"

"It's round, right?" Ye Wanqing replied.

Chu Anlan started cutting the banana leaves with a short knife.

"Hey?" Ye Chenxi leaned over: "An Lan, your fan doesn't look round."

"Do your own thing and leave me alone." Chu Anlan buried his head in writing.

After a moment, he held up a strangely shaped "round fan" and asked, "Qing'er, is this okay?"

Ye Wanqing carefully identified it: "Is this... a small pomegranate?"

"Yes." Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "Does it look like it?"

Ye Wanqing wanted to say that they were not that similar, but Chu Anlan’s smile was so bright and dazzling that she couldn’t bear it.

She nodded: "Exactly the same."

"Sister, just lie with your eyes open." Ye Chenxi said disdainfully: "An Lan's painting skills are worse than his calligraphy."

Chu Anlan laughed angrily and kicked: "Ye Chenxi, you are itching for trouble, right?"

Ye Chenxi covered his buttocks: "Ah! Look at An Lan!"

Chu Anlan pretended to be fierce to him: "Don't complain!"

Ye Wanqing narrowed her eyes.

As I was smiling, my eyelids started twitching for no reason.

After Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi made several palm-leaf fans, the three of them brought their followers and slowly walked up the mountain.

Soon, the attendant who had gone out to explore the way came back and said, "Prince, on the south slope, not only are there peaches to eat, but there are also a lot of plums. There are so many green plums that the branches are bent."

As he spoke, he held up a handful of wild peaches and plums wrapped in a clean handkerchief and handed them to Chu Anlan.
