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

Chapter 242 Sheep Milk Rice Cake
Ye Chenxi sat cross-legged and said, "During the Qixi Festival in previous years, wasn't it always the Crown Princess who assisted the Queen in holding the Qiqiao Banquet in the palace?
This year, as the new Crown Princess had not yet entered the palace and the Queen was unwell, the Qiqiao Banquet was handed over to my mother to host.

The mother used the excuse that she was too busy to handle it all by herself, so she asked the future Crown Princess to help, and also invited Sister Cao to join.

During that period, they often went to the Princess's residence, and then... hehe..."

He couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

"Stop keeping us in suspense!" Chu Anlan urged, "What happened next?"

Ye Chenxi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits: "Then, Sister Cao gave my second brother a jade sachet, and I got one too!"

Chu Anlan sighed and said, "I thought it was some earth-shattering gossip, but it turns out to be just this?

Do you know what you're acting like?"

"What?" Ye Chenxi asked.

Chu Anlan gritted his teeth: "It's like the chef told you that there is a delicious dish today, which has earned your expectations.

As a result, when the food was served, the cook brought you a large basin of boiled cabbage!"

"Who told you to bully me?" Ye Chenxi said complacently: "I won't tell you, I saw my second brother being kissed secretly by Sister Cao, and he was so shy that he almost fell into the fish pond to feed the fish, hehe..."

As he said this, he looked at Ye Wanqing with a flattering expression: "Sister, Sister Cao also asked me to bring you a gift.

She said that her parents in Shu asked someone to send it to her.

Ye Wanqing smiled lightly: "When you return to Beijing, thank her for me."

"I've already thanked you." Ye Chenxi said obediently: "So, can you write a letter back to Beijing to tell my father and mother to let me stay in Lin'an for a while longer?"

Ye Wanqing hesitated: "Yes, but your schoolwork..."

"I brought a large cart of books." Ye Chenxi said confidently: "I left a letter for my father, saying that even if I am in Lin'an, my heart is in the capital.

And I promised him that after I came to Lin'an, I would study and complete homework with Anlan every day, and supervise Anlan's studies.

If father doesn't believe me, after returning to Beijing, I will ask An Lan to recite the Four Books and Five Classics to him!"

Chu Anlan gnashed his teeth and turned his head expressionlessly: "Ye Chenxi, please say what you just said again."

Seeing Chu Anlan was about to get angry, Ye Chenxi immediately hid behind Ye Wanqing: "Sister, save me!"

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

Didn’t he just say that a cup of tea ago?
Chu Anlan laughed angrily: "You are so good, Ye Chenxi, you actually imitated me!"

As he said that, he was about to pinch Ye Chenxi's ticklish spot.

Ye Chenxi was so scared that he screamed and hid everywhere.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he simply used his hands and feet to resist. Soon, the two of them were wrestling with each other, tickling each other's armpits and pinching each other's ticklish spots.

The two of them laughed together.

The carriage, which was not spacious to begin with, became even more messy.

The corners of Ye Wanqing's skirt were wrinkled beyond recognition.

She moved the tea set further away and to a corner, and said with a somewhat helpless and indulgent tone: "You can beat me, but don't disfigure me or hurt my body."

After they had made enough noise, Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi separated.

Chu Anlan rested his head on his arms and lay at the edge of Ye Wanqing's skirt.

Ye Chenxi followed suit and lay flat at Ye Wanqing's feet, breathing heavily: "I'm so tired..."

Chu Anlan turned his head and said, "After I left Beijing, did my father-in-law no longer ask you to get up early and go to bed late, practice swords and martial arts?"

Ye Chenxi also turned his head, looking proud: "I practiced, but I was lazy! Didn't Prince Duan's people blow up many places on the day of your wedding with my sister?
During this period, in addition to patrolling the capital every morning and evening, my father also had to supervise the people sent by the Beijing Guards to help repair the house... My father left early and came back late, so he had no time to take care of me. If I don't slack off now, when will I be able to do so?"

Chu Anlan sighed and said, "If you let my father-in-law know about this, you'll cry."

"You only talk about me, why don't you talk about yourself?" Ye Chenxi turned over and sat up: "You haven't practiced much since leaving Beijing, right?"

Chu Anlan cleared his throat: "How is it possible? I am not you, who only thinks about being lazy all day long..."

"I don't believe it!" Ye Chenxi interrupted him: "Your hands are so weak, it's obvious that you haven't practiced for a long time!

Also, what about the calluses on your hands?
I am lazy and still have calluses on my fingertips. How can you, a diligent practitioner, not even have a thin layer of calluses?"

Chu Anlan has been humiliated by Ye Chenxi several times today.

You've made a lot of progress, little boy!
Could it be that after he left Beijing, he gradually began to lose touch with the capital?
Chu Anlan thought quickly and pretended to be serious, "I don't have calluses on my hands because I take good care of them. I married a beautiful and delicate woman, so of course I have to dress myself up more elegantly."

"What does calluses on your hands have to do with my wife being a pampered woman?" Ye Chenxi said disdainfully: "If you want to be lazy, why do you have to use my sister as an excuse? My sister is not a pampered woman!"

Chu Anlan sighed and acted like a master: "You little brat, you won't understand even if I tell you."

"What?" Ye Chenxi became more and more confused the more he listened.

Ye Wanqing's ears were red, and she frowned slightly to stop him: "Prince!"

"Cough..." Chu Anlan pretended to have a sore throat and coughed twice, changing the subject: "Speaking of which, how are Chu Shaozhen and the others doing these days?"

“Don’t mention it.” Ye Chenxi’s attention was diverted: “During the Chinese Valentine’s Day, Sheng Xi and Chu Shaozhen took me to catch koi.

As a result, the fish soup had just been cooked and he hadn't even taken a sip when he was caught by the Imperial Academy's chief academic officer.

The Imperial College chief made each of us pay 100 taels of silver and gave us a beating...

You didn't see it, my palms were swollen, red and shiny like pig's trotters.

During the horseback archery class, it was so painful that I almost got punished by Master Wu again..."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand in front of Ye Wanqing and said, "Since my sister is not in the capital, there is no one to apply medicine to me.

I went to my mother to cry, and my father scolded me, sob…"

Looking at his fair palm, Ye Wanqing reached out and placed a piece of sweet rice cake on his palm.

Ye Chenxi's originally depressed expression immediately turned into joy: "Lin'an's goat milk rice cake?"

"Yes." Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "Eat it."

Ye Chenxi's cheeks were bulging from eating so much.

Chu Anlan snorted coldly: "Qing'er!"

"What's the matter?" Ye Wanqing raised her eyes with a smile.

Facing her bright and gentle smile, Chu Anlan wanted to pretend to be jealous, but he felt that being so was rather petty.

He laughed at his own thoughts.

He sat cross-legged, his posture as straight as a pine tree: "I'm hungry too, I want to eat goat milk cake too."

Ye Wanqing took out a piece of cake from the food box and handed it over: "Eat it."

Chu Anlan's slightly curved eyes were as bright as stars, revealing his white teeth, and he took the goat milk cake from her hand.

Ye Wanqing laughed: "Why is it like a small pomegranate?"

Chu Anlan stuffed his mouth with cakes and said vaguely: "Only a son resembles his father, how can a father resemble his daughter? It should be Yan Shiliu who looks like me..."

"By the way, where is Yan Shiliu?" Ye Chenxi just remembered, "My uncle is here, but you didn't come to pick him up!
"You rude, uneducated, stinky fox, humph!"
