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

Chapter 223 Martial Arts Practice
The purpose of this trip was to visit various places in the Western Wei Dynasty, so as to experience different geographical and cultural customs, broaden horizons and increase experience.

Thinking of this, Ye Wanqing felt a little more at ease.

Outside Taoyuan.

There were so many peaches picked that they couldn't fit all on the carriage, so the first batch was transported back first.

Three or two guards were guarding the remaining peaches, chatting and laughing.

Yingxiang and Qianxi were settling the bill with the owner of the garden. After paying the money, the owner smiled and brought them a basket of crisp peaches.

The two thanked him with a smile and took the peaches.

Seeing Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan, Qianxi said with a smile: "Princess, Prince, the boss said that he will be waiting at the entrance of the vineyard tomorrow morning, so we can just come and pick them.

The grapes he grows are more suitable for making wine than those grown by others.

He also said that his mother was good at making wine, and if the prince and the princess needed it, they could ask his mother for help. "

"Okay!" Chu Anlan said, "I was just worried that we didn't have enough winemakers!"

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Then let's talk to the boss first, and ask his mother to come over and help tomorrow afternoon."

Qianxi said: "I will go and talk to him."

After saying this, the person ran away.

Soon, she came back happily: "I have already talked to the boss and he said it's no problem.

The boss also said that if he was worried about a lack of manpower, his wife could come over to help."

"Okay!" Chu Anlan said with a smile, "We'll see tomorrow! Let's go home first. We're starving."

The group returned home happily.

It was long past lunch time and the city was much quieter.

After returning home, Ye Wanqing told her servants to take a nap and wash and dry all the peaches in the afternoon after a good rest.

In addition, he asked the servants to stay in the dark near the house and keep a close eye on their man.

Afterwards, she went back to her room to take a nap.

As soon as I lay down, Chu Anlan followed me in.

He instructed Mo Yan to hang a string of straw rabbits on the rack beside the bed, then waved his hand to send him out.

Yingxiang and Qianxi tactfully left and thoughtfully closed the door to the room and the yard.

Ye Wanqing grabbed the quilt and moved inward: "Does the prince want to take a nap?"

"want!"

Chu Anlan kicked off his boots, took off his clothes, got into bed, closed his eyes, and sighed contentedly.

"Prince..." Ye Wanqing moved: "You are pressing down on my hair."

Chu Anlan opened his eyes: "It really is."

He moved and pulled out Ye Wanqing's long hair. After looking at it, he pulled up a strand of his own hair and tied the two strands of hair into several knots.

Ye Wanqing let him do whatever he wanted: "Sir, have you figured out a way to catch him?"

"I've thought about it." Chu Anlan put his arm around her waist: "Take a nap first, and then prepare the bait when you are full. Only when the bait is ready can the fish take the bait."

Perhaps because she was too sleepy and not feeling well, Ye Wanqing slept very deeply.

When I woke up, it was already dusk.

The door was closed and the windows were half-open.

The sunlight slanted in through the cracks in the carved windows, making the little straw rabbit hanging on the eaves look furry and golden, as if it were glowing.

In the yard, there was a very quiet voice.

"Your walking posture is wrong! Do I walk in such a reckless manner?"

"You are standing so straight, as if you are going to join the army. No, no! How can you look like a lady from a noble family?"

"But, my lord, I am not a lady from a noble family... I have been a man for nineteen years..."

"Shut up! From today on, you are a lady from a noble family, and you must practice your manners for this prince!"

"..."

What is this doing?

Ye Wanqing simply tied her hair up, put on her coat, and opened the tightly closed door from the inside.

In an instant, the golden setting sun shone directly in, filling the entire room and making it so bright that she could not open her eyes.

Everyone in the yard fell silent and looked at her.

Chu Anlan, dressed in red, walked towards her first: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Behind her, little pomegranate came over with its tail wagging.

"I'm already asleep." Ye Wanqing was curious: "What are you doing?"

Chu Anlan smiled and said, "Get ready to go fishing."

fishing?

Ye Wanqing understood instantly.

Before taking a nap, Chu Anlan told her that he wanted to make bait and go fishing.

It seems that they are preparing the "bait" now.

She asked Ying Xiang to bring a chair over, and said to Chu Anlan and the others, "You guys continue, don't worry about me."

In the yard, except Yingxiang and Qianxi, all the people were men. Seeing Ye Wanqing looking at them, they began to feel embarrassed.

However, Yingxiang and Qianxi brought tea and snacks and placed them under the eaves.

Ye Wanqing sat down on the chair with grace and dignity, and waited gently for them to continue practicing.

The attendants felt more and more embarrassed.

Chu Anlan urged: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and practice. It's just right for the Crown Prince's Consort to give you some pointers."

The guards had no choice but to go ahead.

The six people were divided into teams of two, standing face to face, their faces flushed and their appearance at a loss as to what to do.

Chu Anlan put his hands on his hips and said, "You are a real man, why are you so fussy when doing things?"

One of the round-faced guards coughed lightly, stretched his waist, put on a dignified look, and said to the guard opposite him in a pinched voice: "Prince..."

Looking closely, it is not difficult to find that among the guards in the courtyard, three of them have similar figures to her, while the other three have figures that are almost the same as Chu Anlan.

The prince always has some strange ideas.

Ye Wanqing looked calm and said, "Don't worry about anything. Just practice as much as you can. If you practice well, I will give you a generous reward."

Hearing that there would be generous rewards, all six of them became excited.

Suddenly, the courtyard became lively.

Chu Anlan sat next to Ye Wanqing, drinking tea, eating snacks and eating fruit, and reminding her from time to time: "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you..."

It is easy to play Chu Anlan, but it is a bit difficult to play Ye Wanqing.

After all, the six people who were chosen were all men who had learned martial arts since childhood. They did not have the softness of women, nor the grace of Ye Wanqing...

By dinner time, there was very little effect from practicing.

Chu Anlan was quite disappointed: "Let's stop here today and continue tomorrow!
If you don’t practice well tomorrow, you won’t be allowed to eat! "

Ye Wanqing stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go have dinner. I think there will be mutton soup tonight?"

Speaking of eating, Chu Anlan's stomach rumbled at an inopportune time.

Ye Wanqing looked at him.

He acted coquettishly and confidently: "Qing'er, I've been scolding them for the whole afternoon, and I'm starving."

Ye Wanqing smiled: "Then serve the meal."

The two of them had their meal in the pavilion beside the lotus pond.

Because she was not feeling well, Ye Wanqing went back to her room early to read and rest after digesting her meal.

And Chu Anlan, for the first time ever, took the initiative to say that he wanted to learn martial arts.

After leaving Beijing, he began to indulge himself, going to bed late and getting up early, and becoming lazy in riding, shooting, and martial arts.

I have never even touched a book.

……

He changed into a neat robe with tight sleeves, put on wrist guards, and went out with a relaxed look on his face. Little Pomegranate, who was sleeping on the mat, followed him out.

Ye Wanqing had no idea when he came back.

She slept till dawn.

The next day, the sky was clear.

Yingxiang and Qianxi got up early, and when they entered the door, Ye Wanqing just got up.

She touched the already cold quilt and asked, "Where is the prince?"

Ying Xiang placed the copper basin filled with water on the wooden rack and said, "My Lady, the prince got up early and finished his martial arts training. He is now bathing in the next room."
