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

Chapter 32: Happy
Prince Dun's wife looked at her with a smile: "I didn't spend much time thinking about it. An Lan asked me to bring these snacks. He said that you should like them very much."

The snacks were actually prepared by Chu Anlan?
Ye Wanqing moved her fingertips slightly, shaking off the remaining shortbread crumbs, and her voice became softer: "Your Highness is thoughtful."

The wife of the Duke of Dun smiled and said, "This is what he should do."

While the flowers were in full bloom, Chu Yanrong picked a lot of chrysanthemums and ordered them to be sent to the kitchen, saying that she would treat Prince Dun's wife to a chrysanthemum banquet in the evening.

Before the banquet started, Ye Chenxi came back with his people.

The sun was setting in the west, and two young men were standing far away at the entrance of the chrysanthemum garden.

Ye Chenxi kept chattering, and no one knew what he was saying, while Chu Anlan looked like he was in a bad mood and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

After a while, they came over here.

Ye Chenxi greeted them obediently: "Mother, Fu Jin, sister, An Lan and I are done with class!"

Chu Anlan sloppily bowed and saluted: "Princess, mother."

He raised his head and glanced at Ye Wanqing gloomily.

Ye Wanqing smiled at him as a greeting.

Chu Anlan turned his head and looked away.

His expression was seen clearly by Chu Yanrong and Prince Dun's wife.

The wife of the Duke of Dun scolded in a low voice: "Anlan, don't be rude."

Chu Anlan said nothing.

Chu Yanrong smiled and asked, "An Lan, has anyone in the Imperial Academy bullied you?"

"No..." Chu Anlan looked lazy.

Chu Yanrong and Prince Dun's wife looked at each other.

Princess Dun shook her head at her, indicating that she didn't know what had happened.

The two of them left the flower pavilion to pick flowers, using the excuse that there were not enough chrysanthemums for cooking, and also asked Ye Chenxi to carry the flower basket.

In the flower pavilion, for a moment, only Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan were left.

Ye Wanqing stood up and took the initiative to speak: "Prince, I like Longjing tea cakes and lotus cakes very much. Thank you."

"Yeah." Chu Anlan responded with a cold face.

Ye Wanqing was a little confused.

Looking at Chu Anlan's expression, could it be that I have offended him in some way?

That’s not right. They haven’t met since they came back from Yinxu.

Ye Wanqing couldn't help but said, "If you have anything to say, please just say it."

After hearing this, Chu Anlan turned his face to her and asked her with a little resentment: "Did Lu Jilian accompany you on a night tour at Rongguang Temple?"

Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment: "Who told you that?"

Chu Anlan snorted: "It has spread throughout the capital!"

what?
Ye Wanqing frowned.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chu Anlan felt sour and angry in his heart, and said angrily: "So, what they said is true? You clearly promised me that if you accept my earrings, you can't accept gifts from other men. You are teasing me."

Ye Wanqing sighed lightly, her emotions relatively calm, and she patiently asked, "What did they say about me and Lu Jilian?"

Chu Anlan gritted his teeth and said, "A single man and a single woman, wandering at night with lanterns, giving and receiving things privately!"

A single man and a single woman?

Lantern night tour?

And also transfer it privately?
Any one of these sentences is enough to easily ruin a woman's reputation.

I don’t know who is behind this?

Anyway, Lu Ji Lian should not be able to do such a thing.

He wouldn't put himself in such a situation.

Ye Wanqing smiled silently: "No more?"

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Anlan became even angrier: "Don't you have anything to say? Do you want to make excuses to me, your fiancé?"

Quibbling? Ye Wanqing shook her head and said calmly, "Prince. Quibbling means covering up the truth with lies and making unreasonable things reasonable. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I quibble?"

Chu Anlan was speechless for a moment.

Ye Wanqing continued: "If you want to hear it, I will explain it to you, and I will also tell you about Lu Qingcheng."

"You say!" Chu Anlan was not justified but confident.

Ye Wanqing poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea, handed it to Chu Anlan, and poured herself another cup.

The two sat opposite each other in the flower pavilion.

Ye Wanqing whispered softly, "That night, I went to the Xiongbao Hall to light the eternal lamp for Lu Qingcheng, and later I ran into Lu Jilian who was on night patrol. On the eve of returning to Beijing, Lu Jilian followed the order of the prince and went up the mountain to look for me and Fu Yu..."

Chu Anlan kept staring at her.

Her eyes were like autumn water, clear and bright, as if they could see into one's heart at a glance.

Chu Anlan's throat moved.

He was happy in his heart, but pretended to be angry: "I knew that you only have me in your heart! The rumor must have been made up by that hypocrite Lu Jilian! He was jealous when he saw that I wanted to marry you, and he deliberately annoyed me! It seems that I must teach him a lesson!"

Ye Wanqing was shocked: "Wait a minute, my lord, that's not what I meant..."

Chu Anlan entered the Ye Mansion in the afternoon with his head down, but when he left in the evening, he was so happy that he hummed a little tune as he walked.

The wife of Prince Dun couldn't help but marvel at it.

After getting on the carriage, Prince Dun's wife asked curiously, "What did Qing'er talk to you about?"

Chu Anlan shrugged and said somewhat proudly: "She made me happy and even arranged two jobs for me."

Prince Dun's wife laughed: "You are so heartless, do you still need others to coax you?"

"Why am I so heartless?" Chu Anlan patted his chest with his hand: "My heart is filled with Ye Wanqing."

"Oh..." Princess Dun's wife asked jokingly, "Does she know?"

Chu Anlan put his hands on the wall of the carriage and pretended to be calm: "Wanqing is shy, so I can't tell her about this. In the future, she will slowly find out."

Prince Dun's wife was delighted: "My son has made great progress."

Chu Anlan pressed his face against the wall of the carriage and urged, "Then you and my father should help me get married as soon as possible!"

He is so anxious!

……

September 15th.

Before daybreak, the north and east gates of the capital were both wide open.

The autumn hunting team marched from the palace gate to the city gate. As the deafening horn sounded, the wheels rolled, raising dust all over the sky.

Thousands of soldiers from the Xiuli Camp led the way, with the Fengyang Emperor's carriage in front, followed by the eldest princess's carriage, and then the carriages of the princes, clan members, and officials.

The team looks like a dragon.

For this autumn hunt, the Queen Mother was too old to go out, and the Crown Princess was seriously ill, so the Crown Prince and the Concubine were left in the palace.

As they would be staying in the hunting ground palace for a month, fearing that someone might cause trouble, Emperor Fengyang withdrew 10,000 troops from the Xiuli Camp in addition to the 1,000 guards. Marquis Dingyuan was responsible for their safety, and Crown Prince Lu Jilian cooperated.

……

Inside the carriage.

Liao Fuyu couldn't help but sigh: "This trip is really large-scale! This is the first time I've seen so many people go hunting together!"

Ye Wanqing asked with a smile: "Isn't there anyone hunting in the northern border?"

"Yes!" Liao Fuyu said, "But they only hunt wild rabbits, wild wolves and the like, which is very boring! But there are bullfights every March."

Then, she said excitedly, "Qing'er, let me tell you about the bullfighting match?"

"Okay." Ye Wanqing smiled and nodded.

Just right, to relieve boredom.

At this time, the curtain was opened from the outside, and Ye Chenxi poked his head in: "It will take ten days to get to the Fairy Mountain Palace. It's so boring to sit and chat all day. Girl, Miss Liao, do you want to play in my car?"

"Go, go!" Liao Fuyu stood up from the cushion without hesitation.
