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

Chapter 299 Stop Pretending to Sleep
Ye Wanqing wanted to raise her hand and touch his head.

When she looked up, she was surprised to find that he was already a head taller than her.

From last year to this year, Chu Anlan has been growing taller. Although he still looks thin, his figure has become much taller.

When he is calm, he already looks like a reliable husband...

"what!"

A loud shout brought Ye Wanqing back to her senses.

Chu Anlan pointed to a spot and said excitedly, "Qing'er, look, it's a firefly! I'll go catch some for you."

As he said this, he tried to break free from her hand.

Ye Chenxi and Chu Shengxi also came closer: "It's really fireflies! At this time of year, there are still fireflies?"

"You guys are drunk, so your eyes are blurry, right?" Liu Rushi, who followed behind, rubbed his eyes and said, "Where are the fireflies?"

"There!" Chu Shaozhen pointed to a place: "Do you see it?"

Liu Rushi nodded.

Over there, Chu Shengxi and Ye Chenxi were already running towards the fireflies.

In the darkness of the night, the two of them ran, catching fireflies with their claws and teeth, and laughing all the time.

The originally quiet night became noisy.

It was already late at night when I returned home.

As soon as Ye Wanqing entered the room, the housekeeper handed over the book of festival gifts: "Princess, it's all here."

Ye Wanqing took it and glanced through it.

Most of these festival gifts were sent by my mother and Princess Dun. In addition, some others were prepared to be sent to the Princess's Mansion and Prince Dun's Mansion. Please send them together.

The maternal family of the future Crown Princess actually sent her a special holiday gift.

Did the former Crown Princess’s mother’s family also prepare a copy?
Ye Wanqing was a little surprised.

She handed the book to Qianxi and said, "Copy one copy tomorrow and have someone count another copy so that we can prepare gifts for the New Year."

Qianxi took the booklet and said, "I'll take note of it."

Ye Wanqing asked the housekeeper: "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, have you prepared everything you need?"

The housekeeper said: "Don't worry, Princess, the festival gifts to be sent to the county magistrate's mansion, Madam Ling's family, Aunt Hua's family, and Aunt Cai's family have all been prepared.

I will send it there early tomorrow morning."

Ye Wanqing nodded.

The housekeeper added: "After lunch tomorrow, I will take people to the pleasure boat to prepare..."

In previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was either held in the palace or the temporary palace, or her mother would have people prepare it early, and Ye Wanqing only had to supervise a few things.

This year, I have to do it all by myself.

Although I have left Beijing, I still have to celebrate the festival well...

After Ye Wanqing finished listening to the housekeeper's report and returned to the room, Chu Anlan had already finished washing up.

The yard next door had been quiet for a long time, probably everyone had gone to bed.

Chu Anlan sat on the bed, wiping the slightly damp ends of her hair, complaining, "Why did you come back so late?
Can't the butler arrange it himself? Why hire him if you have to do everything yourself?
If you are so incompetent, just pack up and send you back to the capital!"

Ye Wanqing walked over with a smile: "Why are you angry again for no reason?"

Chu Anlan took a deep breath and said, "Qing'er, I was wrong. I shouldn't have disobeyed you and drank a whole cup of deer blood wine.

Qing'er, I am dying."

Ye Wanqing stopped laughing and said, "Don't say such unlucky words."

She swore that she would not allow Chu Anlan to touch venison again this year, not even a piece.

Don't even think about things like deer blood wine and deer antlers.

Don't touch it in this life.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Wanqing was unable to get out of bed on time.

After getting up early, Yingxiang Qianxi and Mo Yan sat in the pavilion in the yard to eat breakfast together.

Mo Yan held a bun in his mouth and said, "What time is it... why can't you get up yet..."

"The kitchen has sent people to ask several times..." Qianxi stirred the meat and mushroom porridge in the bowl.

Ying Xiang drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks and rinsed her mouth: "The hot water has been boiled twice."

Mo Yan poked the bun with chopsticks: "It's autumn now, the water gets cold quickly, hehe..." Qianxi glanced at him: "If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush. Don't you just want to say that someone needs to wake up the prince and the princess?"

Mo Yan poked the bun: "That's not the case..."

"Really?" Qianxi asked, "Before I got up this morning, I heard the sound of a carrier pigeon landing on the windowsill.

Then I heard you get up to feed the pigeons.

Do you dare to say that the pigeon is not from Beijing?"

Mo Yan stuffed the bun into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, and even his eyes were squeezed smaller: "Are you spying on me?"

Qianxi's eyes widened in shock: "Don't be so self-indulgent! Who spied on you? Are you silver or gold? Why should I spy on you?"

Mo Yan said exaggeratedly: "Are you spying on the silver I saved?"

Qianxi was so angry that she was speechless.

Yingxiang tried to hold back her laughter.

At this moment, the tightly closed door of the room was suddenly opened from the inside.

Chu Anlan was wearing a flamboyant blue embroidered brocade robe and had long black hair. She said to the yard, "What are you yelling about so early in the morning?
If you keep making noise, all your salary for this month will be confiscated!"

Ying Xiang stood up and bowed: "Good morning, Prince. Would you like to have the hot water or breakfast first?"

"Hot water."

After saying these two words, Chu Anlan closed the door tightly again.

In the courtyard, Mo Yan and Qianxi looked at each other.

Ying Xiang put away the dishes she had used and said, "Okay, stop bickering. I'll go get someone to bring some hot water. After you're done cleaning up, serve breakfast."

Qianxi glared at Mo Yan and said, "It's all your fault. I almost had my monthly salary deducted. If I get deducted, it's all your fault."

"You're only deducting your money, not mine?" Mo Yan picked up the half-full bowl of porridge and drank it all in one gulp: "Eat quickly, don't waste time, and give me the tray after you finish."

Qianxi glared at him again.

inside the house.

After Chu Anlan closed the door, he kicked off his shoes as he walked, walked barefoot to the bed, and got into bed.

Ye Wanqing shivered from the cold.

She clutched the quilt and her eyelashes fluttered.

Suddenly, a breath of warm breath blew on her brow.

Chu Anlan's stiff smile came from above his head: "I know you are awake, stop pretending to be asleep."

Ye Wanqing resigned herself to her fate and opened her eyes: "Qianxi and Mo Yan were arguing in the yard again?"

"Isn't it?" Chu Anlan lay sideways facing her, his palm supporting his chin: "Qing'er, you today..."

He stopped talking halfway.

Ye Wanqing didn't wait for his next sentence and asked, "What happened to me today?"

Chu Anlan bared his teeth and said with a smile: "You look really good today!"

nice?

Now?
I didn't even wash my face or comb my hair. He tossed me around for an hour and a half and I only fell asleep in the second half of the night. How could I look good?

Ye Wanqing asked: "Are there bruises under my eyes? Are there red bloodshot eyes?"

Chu Anlan shook his head: "No, not at all."

"Really?" Ye Wanqing was skeptical.

Chu Anlan nodded vigorously: "My husband never lies to you."

As a husband?

Ye Wanqing's originally calm expression was instantly broken.

A blush appeared on her face. "When you said that, didn't you feel guilty? You just lied to me last night."

last night?

Chu Anlan coughed lightly: "Last night was excusable. I was drunk and couldn't control myself."

"You lied to me again." Ye Wanqing stretched out her hand and pulled the quilt to cover her head: "It was agreed to be once, what happened?
My legs are weak and my waist is sore today, and I feel very tired all over.

If we mess up the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it will be embarrassing when the elders in Beijing ask about it later."

It was rare for her to act coquettishly, and Chu Anlan couldn't resist at all, and his heart turned into a pool of honey.
