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

Chapter 163 Burden
In the evening, Ye Chenxi came back from class and brought good news: "Sister, An Lan successfully dropped out of the Imperial College! When father and the prince went to find the Imperial College's chief priest and teacher, An Lan's teacher cried! They must be reluctant to let An Lan go!"

"Are you sure that the teacher is not crying for joy?" Ye Wanqing asked.

"Crying for joy?" Ye Chenxi scratched his head: "Not really, right? Although An Lan doesn't study, it doesn't affect the teacher's teaching. Oh, I really envy An Lan. If father can agree to let me drop out of school, that would be great!"

Ye Chenxi sighed again: "When my second brother was traveling, he was accompanied by teachers and classmates, and everyone was very lively. An Lan is going to travel, and you are accompanying him. When I want to leave Beijing to travel, I wonder who can accompany me?"

Hearing this, Ye Wanqing was stunned.

In his previous life, the eldest brother at this time had already left Beijing alone and traveled for several months. He went to the ruins of Yinxu Mountain to dig soil and asked around for news about Chu Anlan's possible survival.

Weathered the vicissitudes of life.

He was only eighteen years old at that time.

Ye Wanqing collected his thoughts and comforted him softly: "Study hard in Zijian and make friends with like-minded people. If you want to travel in the future, there will be many people to go with you. It will be so lively with so many people. Anlan is different from you. Prince Dun has only one son. In the future, he will support the entire palace. That's why I hope he can learn something in the vast world outside the capital. As for you, your father and mother have no requirements for you. You just need to study hard when you are old enough to study, do what you like with your friends, get married well in the future, and live in harmony with your wife until old age..."

Ye Chenxi wrinkled her nose, which was a little sour. "Sister, why do you make me feel a little sad when you say this? You haven't even married yet, but I'm already feeling uneasy. You and An Lan haven't left Beijing yet, but I'm already missing you."

Ye Wanqing couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Even if I get married, I'm still your sister. Prince Dun's mansion is so close to home, I will come back often, and you can come visit me often. After leaving Beijing, I will often send letters home. If I come across anything delicious or fun, I will send it back to you."

Ye Chenxi was finally coaxed into happiness: "Girls are the best!"

……

In midsummer, the days pass very quickly.

Ye Wanqing suddenly became busy.

Although the wedding date has not yet arrived, the family has already started preparing her dowry and various dowry candidates.

At the same time, people were sent from the palace.

Nearly a month in advance, the Queen Mother sent female officials and teaching maids to the Princess's residence to teach her post-wedding etiquette.

Thus, there were only ten days left until the wedding.

That day, after checking Ye Wanqing's homework, the female official said with satisfaction: "The princess is smart and can understand many things at once. This way, I can go back and report to the Queen Mother and the Empress."

Ye Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, lady official."

The hard days are finally over.

The female official handed over a sandalwood box and said, "The Queen Mother asked me to bring some scriptures for the princess and convey a message. These scriptures were copied by the Queen Mother herself for the princess. On a chosen day, the princess can personally deliver the scriptures to Rongguang Temple."

Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then took it with both hands: "Thank you, Madam Madam, and please thank the Queen Mother for me."

The female official took the nanny away.

Ye Wanqing put away the scriptures and went to find the eldest princess again, saying that she would go to Rongguang Temple the next day.

The princess nodded and said, "Tomorrow, Chen Ting will be on vacation, so let him take you there."

"it is good."

The next day.

Before daybreak, two carriages drove out of the capital.

Soon, a black horse rushed out of the city gate, stepping on the morning mist, and galloped towards the direction of Rongguang Temple.

After the carriage left Beijing for a distance, the guard disguised as an ordinary coachman knocked on the wall of the carriage: "Princess, something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Yingxiang poked her head out.

The guard said: "Someone has been following us."

Being followed?

Ying Xiang turned around and looked at Ye Wanqing, her expression solemn: "Miss, what should we do?"

Ye Wanqing opened the curtains and looked towards the capital. It was still dark.

The wide official road was filled with morning mist, and there was no one in sight. Only the early birds spread their wings and flew by, leaving a deep shadow.

The wedding date was approaching, and Ye Wanqing was worried about complications, so she said to the guards: "Remind my second brother and ask him to be careful."

The guard nodded: "I will go now."

Ye Wanqing was still a little worried, so she instructed Ying Xiang, "Tell the accompanying guards to be alert, but don't alert the enemy."

After receiving the order, the guards stepped up their defenses.

The journey was uneventful.

As they were traveling with few people and were going to keep a low profile, they quickened their pace and arrived at Rongguang Temple in the afternoon.

After Ye Chenting explained his purpose to the abbot, Ye Wanqing handed the scriptures copied by the empress dowager to the monk beside the abbot.

After a simple vegetarian meal, the brother and sister went to attend evening classes together.

As dusk fell, a young monk quietly came to her side and said, "Princess, there is a donor outside who wants to bring a message. She left something in the Xiongbao Hall, and asked you to remember to pick it up."

Ye Wanqing raised her head after hearing this: "Heroic Palace?"

"Exactly."

After leaving some words, the little monk knelt down at the back again.

Ye Wanqing looked around but didn't see any familiar figures.

She tilted her head towards Ye Chenting and lowered her voice: "Second brother, the other party sent me a message and asked me to go to the Xiongbao Hall to pick up something."

Ye Chenting looked solemn: "I'll go with you."

Ye Wanqing nodded.

Amid the sound of chanting, the brother and sister quietly left the Dharma Hall.

Outside, it was dark.

The monks in the temple were doing evening classes. Apart from the sounds of chanting, wooden fish, and the chirping of birds and insects, the mountains were very quiet.

After walking along the stone path for a while, Ye Chenting said to the darkness: "Come out."

Two attendants came out from the shadows: "Second Young Master, Princess, the person following us today is Prince Duan's wife."

Liao Fuyu?

Since the last break, Liao Fuyu has had no contact with them.

Even at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet last month, Ye Wanqing did not see her.

What is she doing here at this moment?
"Did Prince Duan's wife come to Rongguang Temple alone?"

"That's right." The attendant said, "I have been following her secretly for a long time. She has been deliberately keeping a distance from the Second Young Master and the Princess. Moreover, she left the city in disguise. After leaving something in the Xiongbao Palace, she rode back to the capital overnight."

What kind of big deal was it that was worth Liao Fuyu's risk of leaving the capital alone and then returning to the capital overnight?
With doubts in mind, Ye Wanqing went to the Xiongbao Hall under the cover of night.

There was only one monk on duty in the main hall.

Hearing the footsteps, he chanted a Buddhist stanza, stood up and took a bag: "A donor left a bag here, let me give it to the princess."

"Thank you, Master." Ye Wanqing took it with both hands.

The package was large and heavy, as if a wooden box was wrapped in silk.

For safety reasons, Huan Yan took the bundle from Ye Wanqing and said, "I am very agile. Just in case, I will open the bundle."

Ye Wanqing handed the bag over: "Be careful."
