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

Chapter 172 Reluctant to Marry

"On June 20th, before my bridal sedan leaves, take him to the Princess's residence while there are many people around, and lead him to make a scene. Also, from today on, don't give him any more money, and make him lose every time he gambles. The more he loses, the better, and force him into a corner. Do you understand what I mean?"

After explaining all this, Ye Wanqing went back.

As June 20th approaches, not only the Princess's Mansion and Prince Dun's Mansion, but even the streets of the capital city become bustling with joy and celebration.

The happiest thing for Ye Chenxi every day was to have someone drive a horse-drawn carriage around the capital after school to see where the red silk and red lanterns were hung.

After I get home, I'll tell my sister.

Everyone in the mansion was busy.

On the contrary, Ye Wanqing had more free time as the wedding date approached.

The female officials, ladies and maids sent from the palace have already moved into the Princess's Mansion to help Ye Wanqing try on her wedding dress and jewelry and choose appropriate makeup.

After a whole day, Ye Wanqing's face was stiff.

Fortunately, Ye Chenxi arrived and rescued her in time.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.

Ye Chenxi hadn't arrived yet, but her voice had already arrived: "Girl, I'm back from school! I'm coming in!"

Upon seeing this, the female official quietly left the room with her maid.

When they met someone at the door, they couldn't help but exclaimed -

"What beautiful flowers! They smell so good!"

"It's Rose!"

"Where did you get this, young master?"

"..."

Ye Chenxi was in high spirits: "I won't tell you, hehe..."

As he spoke, he walked forward holding the flowers.

Ye Wanqing stood at the door.

In the dim light, Ye Chenxi walked up the stairs grunting, holding a bunch of pink and white roses that were twice as big as his head.

Walking up to Ye Wanqing, he poked his head out from behind the flowers and wiped his sweat: "Sister, this is the rose that An Lan asked me to bring to you. He said that he wanted me to deliver it to you personally. I carried it all the way back from Prince Dun's mansion, I am so tired!"

"Thank you for your hard work, brother." Ye Wanqing carefully took the flower, held it in her arms, and found that the soft thorns on the branches had been carefully removed.

She leaned over to the flowers and sniffed them, then said with a crooked look, "Please tell An Lan that I like these flowers very much."

"You can save your words of thanks for your wedding night." Ye Chenxi wiped his forehead with his sleeve, "It's so hot!"

Ye Wanqing took out a pink rose that was in full bloom, and handed the rest to Qianxi: "Put the vase on my bedside."

Qianxi took the flowers away.

Ye Wanqing twisted the cool and soft flower branches with her fingertips and said to Ye Chenxi, "I asked someone to use an ice jar to chill the melons, grapes, and peaches, and also asked someone to make some iced drinks. Let's go and sit in the pavilion together?"

"Okay!" Ye Chenxi followed her happily.

In the pavilion, maids took out melons, grapes and peaches and placed them in jade cups.

After being chilled, the skin of fruits and vegetables is covered with a thin layer of frost and snow. Once it comes into contact with heat, the frost and snow gradually turns into water droplets.

Ye Chenxi couldn't wait to pick a grape and threw it into his mouth. He sucked hard and exclaimed comfortably: "Delicious!"

Ye Wanqing looked at him gently: "These grapes were sent from Anyi. If you like them, I'll have someone send some more to your yard."

Ye Chenxi nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay!"

He ate a lot more in one breath.

Ye Wanqing handed over a piece of melon that the maid had just cut: "Did you go to Prince Dun's mansion after school today? How is An Lan's injury?"

Ye Chenxi took the melon and said, "He looks lively, so he should be fine, right? He is so mysterious that he didn't even invite me in to sit down. I don't know what Prince Dun's mansion is doing."

"Perhaps, the palace has not been renovated yet?" Ye Wanqing asked. "No way?" Ye Chenxi took a bite of the melon and said vaguely: "The stone bricks in front of the palace gate can reflect people's shadows, and the red lanterns and red silk are all hung up. The servants of Prince Dun's palace let it slip that An Lan said he would give you a grand wedding gift!"

A grand wedding ceremony?

Ye Wanqing's heartbeat slowed down: "What is it?"

"I don't know either." Ye Chenxi chewed the melon, looking forward to it and feeling happy: "An Lan has a lot of ideas, he will definitely prepare a big surprise for you! Anyway, just wait!"

Is there any difference between saying this and not saying it?
However, Ye Wanqing was vaguely looking forward to it.

She picked up a cup of iced grape juice, took a sip, and calmed her throbbing heart.

Ye Chenxi ate some fruits and drank some ice drinks to dispel the heat in his body, and finally felt alive again.

He sat up straight and said to Ye Wanqing, "I heard something very interesting in the Imperial College today."

"What's the matter?" Ye Wanqing asked following his words.

Ye Chenxi laughed out loud: "Two days ago, an ebony carriage of Li Fei's maternal family, the Li family, was burned. Last night, all the carriage wheels of the mansion were removed and piled up in the kitchen and burned. I heard that the Li family has no place to cook..."

After saying this, I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ye Wanqing looked down at the grape juice in the jade cup and laughed too.

She was the one who sent people to burn the ebony carriage.

But who cooks in the Li family’s kitchen?
No matter who did it, although the method was somewhat unethical, it will definitely make many people feel relieved.

Ye Chenxi continued talking for a long time.

Every day, he would find various excuses to stay in Jinghong Garden for at least an hour.

It is June 19th.

After returning from the Imperial College, Ye Chenxi has been staying in Jinghong Garden. Wherever Ye Wanqing goes, he follows.

During this time, the female family members came one after another to talk to Ye Wanqing, and he sat not far away and watched.

Ye Wanqing patiently talked to the female relatives who came to congratulate her, and after meeting with the elders and juniors of the Ye family, it was already nightfall.

Turning around, I saw Ye Chenxi sleeping on the couch.

She glanced at the night sky and asked Ying Xiang, "How long have you been sleeping here, brother?"

"It's been an hour." Ying Xiang said, "The eldest master looked like he had something to say to the princess alone, so he has been waiting. Princess, do you want to wake him up?"

"No need to wake him up, let Yaolin carry him back." Ye Wanqing whispered, "He just doesn't want me to get married, and wants to spend more time with me."

Qianxi called Yaolin in.

Ye Wanqing warned: "Be gentle and don't wake him up."

Yao Lin nodded: "Don't worry, Princess."

With the support of Yingxiang and Qianxi, Yaolin carried Ye Chenxi on his back and walked out of Jinghong Garden.

As soon as the people left, the nanny came to urge: "The princess needs to get up early tomorrow to change into wedding clothes and put on makeup, so you must bathe and go to bed early tonight."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "I'll go right away."

With the help of the maid and the nanny, Ye Wanqing bathed, washed, cleansed her face, and applied facial mask, and by the time her hair was dried, it was almost three o'clock.

At five o'clock in the morning, Ye Wanqing, who had just closed her eyes for a short time, was awakened by the fragrance of cherry blossoms.

When I opened my eyes, the room was already lit with candles, all red.

When she entered the room, she saw that the ladies-in-waiting, maids, and the well-fed ladies and servants who came to do her makeup had already filled the room.

The maids were busy going in and out, carrying wedding dresses, jewelry, and rouge and powder.

After Ye Wanqing finished washing up, she was helped to sit in front of the dressing table, allowing a group of people to comb her hair and put on makeup for her.

The flickering candlelight and the faint smell of warm wax were very light, but the incessant whispering made her feel drowsy and sleepy.
