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

Chapter 41 Watching Maple Leaves Together
A figure swayed behind a folding screen.

Chu Xiaoyan put the tray on the table, took out the food from the tray, tasted two bites, and then showed a look of disgust.

Ye Wanqing withdrew her gaze.

However, Liao Fuyu's cheeks were flushed and she was staring at Chu Xiaoyan.

This is what a young girl looks like when she is in love.

Ye Wanqing felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

After hesitating for a moment, she put down the teacup and asked Liao Fuyu: "I am going to the side hall to copy scriptures. Do you want to go alone or accompany me?"

"I..." Liao Fuyu bit her lip and said, "I can't understand the sutras, let alone read them. But I don't know who to play with."

Just as Ye Wanqing was about to speak, the voice of the young monk suddenly came from outside the dining hall: "Prince Duan, the scriptures you wanted to copy today have been sent to the side hall."

Chu Xiaoyan responded indifferently.

Liao Fuyu glanced behind the screen and said immediately, "Qing'er, other noble ladies don't like to play with me, so I'd better accompany you to copy the scriptures."

Ye Wanqing saw through her little thoughts, but did not point it out: "Okay."

In the side hall, smoke was everywhere.

Liao Fuyu was sitting at the desk, watching Ye Wanqing methodically flipping through a half-copied scripture, and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the door.

Just at this moment, Chu Xiaoyan stepped into the room.

The two people's eyes met.

Chu Xiaoyan just glanced at her, then looked away coldly and walked towards the desk by the window.

Liao Fuyu's smile suddenly froze on her face.

With a frustrated look on her face, she sat down opposite Ye Wanqing and asked in a low voice: "Qing'er, am I really ugly?"

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes and said, "You have very good facial features, and you look more heroic than ordinary women. I have always thought that you are very beautiful."

"Really?" Liao Fuyu's eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly dimmed. She muttered softly, "But why don't they like me?"

"They?" Ye Wanqing looked at her with a smile.

Liao Fuyu blushed when she was looked at: "Don't look at me like that, hurry up and copy the scriptures! In the evening, we will go to the top of Hongfeng Mountain to watch the sunset."

"Are you still going?" Ye Wanqing asked gently, "Are you not afraid of danger anymore?"

"Don't be afraid." Liao Fuyu said, "On my way to find you, I met patrolling guards. I asked them and they said there are ten guards patrolling Hongfeng Mountain. Anyway, the mountain is very safe."

Ye Wanqing nodded and agreed: "Then go."

Anyway, I'm detained here anyway.

I finally left Jindu and didn't have to stay in a room and courtyard all day, so of course I wanted to go out and have a good look.

……

The first ray of afternoon sunlight shone obliquely into the side hall through the carved wooden window. Chu Xiaoyan stood up rustlingly and left without saying a word.

Soon, Ye Wanqing put away the unfinished scriptures and said, "Fu Yu, dinner is ready in the dining hall."

Liao Fuyu stood up: "Let's go..."

She looked obviously lonely.

After dinner, the two of them put on their veils and climbed up the Red Maple Mountain together.

There are light clouds today.

The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with red clouds.

Looking from the top of the mountain, the maple leaves all over the mountain are dark red.

Liao Fuyu hesitated for a long time before she spoke in a very depressed tone: "Qing'er, I seem to have contracted a strange disease..."

"What's wrong?" Ye Wanqing asked her softly.

Liao Fuyu pulled off a piece of red maple: "Whenever I saw Chu Xiaoyan, my heart started beating fast and my whole body felt hot... If he ignored me, I would feel empty inside and feel very uncomfortable.

Tell me, what disease do I have?

Ye Wanqing was about to speak when Chu Anlan's laughter suddenly came from behind her: "Chu Xiaoyan, don't run! Tell her what disease she has!"

Liao Fuyu was shocked when she heard this.

On the top of Red Maple Mountain, next to the pavilion, Chu Anlan was laughing so hard that he was bent over.

Chu Xiaoyan's face turned blue and red.

Ye Wanqing looked at Liao Fuyu who was at a loss, gently held her hand, raised her eyes to look at the two of them, and said, "Is the prince also here to enjoy the maple leaves?" Chu Anlan laughed and said, "I came to see you."

find her?

Looking at the boy's clear eyes, Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "Will you accompany me to watch the maple leaves and sunset?"

"Okay!" Chu Anlan nodded vigorously.

Ye Wanqing gently patted the back of Liao Fuyu's hand, and then looked at Chu Xiaoyan: "Prince Duan, if you have nothing else to do, Fuyu and I will leave first."

Chu Xiaoyan frowned and said nothing.

Chu Anlan was unhappy: "Aren't we just going alone..."

Liao Fuyu subconsciously grabbed Ye Wanqing tightly.

"Okay, you can take her with you." Chu Anlan compromised reluctantly.

"Wait." Chu Xiaoyan seemed to have made up his mind and said to Ye Wanqing, "Princess, go and have fun with An Lan. I'll take Miss Liao around."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Thank you."

Chu Xiaoyan reminded: "The patrolling guards will not come to the top of the mountain within half an hour, so don't go too far."

"You talk a lot of nonsense!"

Chu Anlan called Ye Wanqing: "Let's go."

Liao Fuyu watched the two of them leave.

The maple leaf in her hand was torn into fiery red fragments by her.

Chu Xiaoyan held onto the stone railing, looking at the palaces built in scattered patterns on the mountains, and suppressed his annoyance.

He talked to himself: "I like a lady from a noble family who is graceful, gentle, well-educated and well-mannered. She must be slender, with skin as white as cream, bright eyes and white teeth..."

Under the fence, Liao Fuyu was dejected.

……

The other side of the mountain.

Chu Anlan walked for a long time before turning back and saying, "This should be far enough, right?"

"Yeah." Ye Wanqing responded, and then her eyes fell on his right hand wrapped in white, and asked with concern: "Is the prince's hand better?"

"I applied the medicine you gave me, and it doesn't hurt anymore. Do you want to take a look?" After that, he said, "Forget it, you'd better not take a look. The skin is torn and the flesh is exposed. I'm afraid it will scare you."

Ye Wanqing smiled lightly: "Then I won't watch it."

She didn't bring any medicine with her. If the box was opened and contaminated with dust, it would be more detrimental to the recovery of the wound.

Chu Anlan took two steps forward and looked up under a red maple tree.

After a moment, he raised his left hand, broke off a maple branch with lush red leaves, and said happily, "This one looks good. I'll give it to you."

Ye Wanqing took it and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Chu Anlan glanced at the sky, made a rough estimate in his mind, and asked with a smile: "Your veil is too much of a nuisance, how about taking it off first, and I'll hold it for you?"

The gauze falls on the maple branches and is easily caught in threads.

Ye Wanqing didn't think much about it, took off the veil and handed it to Chu Anlan: "Thank you, my Lord."

The gauze brushed across his hands, feeling cool and bringing a slight tingling sensation.

Chu Anlan's heart and hands trembled together.

Boys of seventeen or eighteen years old are extremely energetic and full of blood. Their bodies react faster than their brains.

Chu Anlan's face turned red instantly.

Coincidentally, Ye Wanqing looked up at him, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her face became a little hot: "Sorry... How about I go further away?"

Chu Anlan suddenly lowered his head and looked down.

Ye Wanqing turned his back and said, "Prince, please enjoy the fresh air here. There seems to be a squirrel over there. I'll go take a look..."

Before he could finish his words, his wrist was grabbed.

The boy's hands were as hot as fire, and he held her tightly: "Don't leave."

Ye Wanqing's whole body stiffened and she subconsciously tried to break free.
