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

Chapter 207 Not Believing in Evil

After everyone had left, Chu Anlan looked at Ye Wanqing and said, "Qing'er, let's go and release river lanterns."

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

Chu Anlan picked up the river lantern and suddenly slapped his forehead: "I haven't finished writing my wish yet."

Knowing that he had forgotten the strokes of the word, Ye Wanqing took the river lantern from him and said, "Let me write the remaining words."

Chu Anlan coughed lightly: "It's not that I can't write, I just..."

Ye Wanqing glanced at him and smiled: "I understand, but it doesn't matter. The prince's wish is also my wish."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and corrected the strokes of the wrong word.

Looking at her jade-like neck, Chu Anlan suddenly felt dry in the mouth and wanted desperately to leave some mark on it.

He asked, "Qing'er, do you want to go on a boat ride on the lake tonight?"

He had long forgotten about selling vegetables.

Ye Wanqing was concentrating on writing the inscription and did not notice his burning gaze. She replied without raising her head, "Okay."

Chu Anlan turned his head: "Mo Yan..."

The crescent moon is like a moth eyebrow, hanging on the willow branches.

After releasing the river lanterns, the crowds by the river gradually faded away. On the calm river surface, ripples appeared in the wind, and the river lanterns drifted with the water, gradually moving away.

Mo Yan led the way and came to the pleasure boat by the lake.

Chu Anlan helped Ye Wanqing step onto the pleasure boat and waved, "Got it. Take Yingxiang and Qianxi with you and let the maids go home to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival. Take good care of Chu Shiliu, don't let it run away from home, and don't let it steal food. The veterinarian said it needs to lose weight."

Mo Yan hesitated: "But, the safety of you and the Crown Princess..."

"Why do you talk so much?" Chu Anlan said with a forced smile.

Mo Yan said sternly: "I will leave immediately. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess must pay more attention to their safety..."

"Get out of here now." Chu Anlan cursed with a smile.

After Mo Yan called Yingxiang Qianxi over and said a few words to her, Yingxiang looked at Ye Wanqing worriedly.

Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "Don't worry, go back."

The group left holding the little pomegranate.

After the people left, Chu Anlan asked excitedly, "Qing'er, which lake do you like? Point to a direction and I'll row the pleasure boat over there."

Only then did Ye Wanqing realize that there was no one on the pleasure boat.

She hesitated: "The prince has sent the boatman away. Can I row the pleasure boat over there myself?"

Chu Anlan's smile froze: "Of course I can..."

After a cup of tea.

The pleasure boat remained motionless.

Moreover, with the push of the night wind and waves, the pleasure boat moved a few inches closer to the shore.

The houseboat is very large, with two floors. The rooms inside are beautifully decorated and equipped with all kinds of furniture.

Tea and snacks are also available.

There were even two wooden barrels of hot water in the room.

Ye Wanqing reached out to try it and found that the water was very hot. This way, the temperature would be just right when used.

The prince’s little thoughts should not be too obvious.

……

Ye Wanqing went to look around the two-story pleasure boat and came back. Chu Anlan was still standing at the bow, holding the oar, gritting his teeth with exhaustion.

She endured it again and again, and persuaded: "Prince, why don't you go home tonight, it will be the same if you come to the lake to cruise another day."

How are they the same?
Chu Anlan almost blurted out.

Tonight is Chinese Valentine's Day!
He held the oar and said, "I won't believe in evil. I will row it out!"

Ye Wanqing had no choice but to say, "Then please try again, my lord. Maybe if you find the right method, it will work.

The prince is sweating a lot. I will go and get him a cup of tea." Chu Anlan nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

When Ye Wanqing came out with the tea set and snacks on a tray, Chu Anlan was bending over and studying the oars.

Hearing the footsteps, he looked up with a frustrated look and complained: "Qing'er, this painting boat bullied me."

Ye Wanqing chuckled.

She placed the tray on the small wooden table on the deck and poured two cups of tea. She handed one to Chu Anlan and drank the other for herself. "It's quite a different feeling to drink tea in the night breeze and look up at the lights of the houses on the shore."

Chu Anlan sat beside her and drank all the tea in one gulp before asking, "Did you ask someone to call the soldiers who took the bully away?"

Ye Wanqing glanced at him and said, "On the way here just now, I saw some soldiers patrolling not far from the river bank. It's a good opportunity to use them."

Chu Anlan snorted: "Even if the soldiers don't come, I still have plenty of ways to deal with him."

Ye Wanqing smiled and poured him a cup of tea. "Your Highness, is your method to beat that bully to a pulp?"

Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "Beating him will only dirty my hands, it's better to tie him up and find a crooked tree by the river to hang him upside down.

When the time comes, let those who have been bullied by him line up with feather dusters to scratch his nose and the soles of his feet.

He struggled frantically, and then there was the worry that he would fall into the river and feed the fish..."

Ye Wanqing was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

After a long while, she tilted her head and smiled: "It's a good idea."

Chu Anlan said with a sigh: "What a pity."

Ye Wanqing asked with a smile: "Does the prince think that I have done more harm than good?"

“No way.” Chu Anlan took a sip of tea and said, “You called the soldiers here because you were worried about me. I am not an ungrateful person, how could I not know this?
After all, the barefoot bully is not afraid of those who wear shoes.

What's more, since we have the ready-made rights at hand, why not use them?
Believe it or not, Qing'er, tomorrow, I just need to put some pressure on the county magistrate, and that bully won't be able to get out for three to five years."

"That's perfect." Ye Wanqing said, "If they are released, it will only bring disaster to the people."

"Then let him spend the rest of his life in jail!" Chu Anlan said, "This kind of villain who bullies men and women should be taught a lesson all at once!"

"Let's wait until tomorrow." Ye Wanqing said slowly, "It depends on how many people can stand up and testify against him tomorrow."

"Let's not talk about him anymore." Chu Anlan perked up: "Qing'er, are you sleepy? It's almost midnight."

His eyes were passionate and open.

Under the dancing moonlight, Ye Wanqing felt a hint of heat on the tip of her ears, and she used the excuse of drinking tea to hide her eyes: "If you are sleepy, you should rest early.

I have to sell vegetables to people tomorrow morning and go to the government office in the afternoon.

Jingchen and Fengchuan are nearby. I asked them to take up the night watch on the pleasure boat. You can sleep well tonight, Prince."

"Is your man here?" Chu Anlan stood up upon hearing this and said, "You should have told me earlier.

Call them out and help us row this pleasure boat to the open area near the river."

Jingchen Fengchuan accepted his fate and appeared.

Two men took the oars, one standing at one end of the pleasure boat, and with almost no effort they rowed the motionless pleasure boat out.

The huge pleasure boat shuttled across the lake.

The sounds of stringed instruments and laughter were endless.

The cool night breeze brings the scent of peaches and flowers from the distant mountains, as well as the fragrance of soil and rice flowers in the fields.

As the night deepened, the city and the lake gradually became quiet.

The pleasure boat was anchored in a place far away from the embankment and human habitation.

Chu Anlan said to Jingchen and Fengchuan, "Okay, you two can go back first. This place is not like the capital. It's very safe and there's no need to stand guard."

Feng Chuan said boldly: "Sir, this place is far from the shore. Even if I have good Qinggong skills, I can't get there in one breath."

"Isn't this just in time?" Chu Anlan said, "The opportunity to improve your Qinggong is right in front of you, so take advantage of it.

For one tael of silver, you can fly from the pleasure boat to the shore."

Fengchuan wanted to cry but had no tears.
