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

Chapter 45 Let Her Go

After hearing this, Ye Wanqing finally smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "Master Lu has a point, but I beg you to differ."

Lu Jilian's eyes moved.

Ye Wanqing lowered her head and looked at the teacup: "After a woman gets married, she can only stay in the backyard, take care of her husband and children. If her husband can't even give her the slightest affection, how can she spend her long life?"

Lu Jilian was silent.

Ye Wanqing stood up: "Everyone has his own path to take in life. After all, Prince Lu and I are not on the same path. I wish Prince Lu a bright future and a smooth career. Prince Dun is a rare pure person in the royal family and aristocratic family. I will do my best to maintain this rare purity.

The autumn hunt is coming, and the wind is strong in the mountains. Bows and arrows are blind in the hunting grounds, so please pay attention to safety. "

Lu Jilian was completely stunned.

Ye Wanqing bowed to him and said, "The wind is blowing. I should go down the mountain."

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Jilian to speak, she walked out of the pavilion and walked down the steps along the ancient bluestone mountain path.

Lu Jilian was left alone, looking at the empty teacup, thinking silently.

……

Down the mountain.

On the way, we encountered many squirrels jumping up and down.

Several times, she was almost hit by pine cone shells.

She bent down, picked up the pine cone shells, and put them in the gauze on the fence, preparing to take them back as spices for making incense.

Yingxiang was waiting anxiously at the foot of the mountain.

Only when he saw his own princess did he rush over to her: "Is the princess okay? Master Lu..."

Ye Wanqing replied: "Master Lu is a gentleman."

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how long she has been frightened?

She was afraid that someone would come to Qingsong Mountain, knowing that the princess had gone hiking to meet Prince Lu without telling Prince Dun.

She was also afraid that Prince Lu would do something to the princess.

Ye Wanqing picked up a handful of pine needles and handed them to Ying Xiang: "What are you worried about? If anyone asks, just say you accompanied me to the mountains to pick spices."

Ying Xiang nodded: "I understand."

As soon as the words fell, a burst of sneers came from the depths of the pine forest: "Tsk tsk, the daughter of the eldest princess, can she also lie?"

Yingxiang's expression changed and she shouted, "Who? Come out now!"

I saw a man in purple hugging a woman on a mossy bluestone path.

Ye Wanqing glanced at that person.

He is tall and thin, with fox eyes and bruises under his eyes. He has a smile on his face but his temperament is sinister.

Chu Xiaoquan?
This man was the eldest son of Prince Duan. It was said that his biological mother was originally a maid in the mansion. Because of her outstanding appearance, she gave birth to a son before Prince Duan's wedding.

Later, when Prince Duan's wife entered the palace, the maid disappeared.

His biological mother disappeared, his stepmother didn't like him, and his biological father was busy seeking help from the gods. Chu Xiaoquan had no one to teach him since he was a child, and he started to hang out in red-light districts when he was twelve or thirteen years old.

I wonder which girl is the one causing trouble today?

Ye Wanqing withdrew her gaze and walked down the stone steps.

"Tsk..." Chu Xiaoquan suddenly raised his voice: "Ms. Ye, after all, you and I are cousins ​​by blood. Are you so rude when you see your cousin?"

"How dare you!" Ying Xiang shouted, "My young lady is the daughter of the current eldest princess. How dare you, a bastard son of Prince Duan, let her pay you respect?"

Chu Xiaoquan held the beauty's slender waist and smiled in a sinister way: "As expected of a legitimate daughter, you are confident in what you say and do. Even your servants are superior to others."

Ye Wanqing was too lazy to bother with him any more, so she called Ying Xiang and said, "Go back to Tingxue Pavilion."

After saying that, he lifted his feet and left.

Ying Xiang hurriedly followed.

Chu Xiaoquan's voice came from behind: "The eldest princess's daughter would also go on a tryst with other men behind her fiancé's back. It seems that the character of a legitimate child is no better than that of a concubine's child.

You say, if Chu Anlan knew, wouldn't it be more interesting? Hahaha..."

Ye Wanqing stopped and turned to look at the stone steps.

Chu Xiaoquan asked her with a smile: "You suddenly turned around to look at me again, could it be that you like me and don't want to leave?" Ye Wanqing frowned slightly: "It's not your turn to judge my character."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away at a very fast pace.

Chu Xiaoquan's sarcastic laughter came intermittently.

Only when she saw the palace gate did Ying Xiang let out a breath and whispered, "Miss, I heard that Chu Xiaoquan has a very bad reputation. If he goes out and tells lies about what happened today..."

"Let him be." Ye Wanqing said calmly.

Let him?

Yingxiang hesitated to speak.

Ye Wanqing was helpless: "What else? He has a mouth, and I can't control it."

"But what if he goes out and slanders the princess?" Ying Xiang was worried.

"He will definitely do it." Ye Wanqing's eyes deepened slightly.

"What?" Ying Xiang was stunned.

Ye Wanqing looked at the pine cone shell in her arms: "I said, with Chu Xiaoquan's character, he will definitely go out and slander me."

"What should we do?" Yingxiang was anxious.

Ye Wanqing said calmly: "Don't worry, I have a good plan."

After returning to Tingxue Pavilion, Ye Wanqing had lunch, asked someone to bring the materials for making incense, and then buried herself in making incense in the room.

Most of the spices are processed.

In the afternoon, she divided the incense into pieces and called Yingxiang and Qianxi: "Send these incense pieces to the wife of Dunqin, the prince of Dunqin, and Fuyu respectively..."

She took the remaining incense and gave them to Chu Yanrong and Emperor Fengyang respectively.

Seeing her daughter, Chu Yanrong was a little surprised: "Why did you think of making incense today?"

Ye Wanqing explained: "Mother, I am not in a good mood today, so I went up the mountain to find some pine cone shells, which are just right for making incense."

Feeling restless?

Chu Yanrong asked with concern: "Have you encountered any troubles?"

Ye Wanqing thought about it and decided to tell Chu Yanrong: "Mother, I saw Master Lu today. I was bumped into by Chu Xiaoquan when I was going down the mountain."

Chu Yanrong was very surprised: "You and Lu Jilian..."

Ye Wanqing was silent.

Chu Yanrong looked at her and sighed, "You have already agreed to a marriage, and his desire to marry you has not changed. He is also persistent. He is a modest gentleman and an open-minded person. He will figure it out."

Ye Wanqing nodded slightly: "My daughter thinks so too."

"I know what happened to Chu Xiaoquan." Chu Yanrong said, "Since you and Lu Jilian are innocent, you don't have to be afraid of him. But, you should tell An Lan about this. You two love each other, so don't let others' words create a rift between you."

Ye Wanqing responded: "Okay."

"It's not convenient for you to see An Lan..." Chu Yanrong thought about it and said soothingly: "I'll go find Jing Qiu."

Seeing her mother thinking about her, Ye Wanqing was touched but also felt a little guilty: "Thank you for your hard work, mother."

"Silly child." Chu Yanrong touched her head soothingly.

After coming out of Wenxing Palace, Ye Wanqing's steps became much lighter.

She carried the incense box and walked into Cangqian Palace.

Emperor Fengyang is reading memorials.

Seeing her coming, he said in a low voice: "The incense has just burned out, light the incense you made to refresh me."

Ye Wanqing responded.

She took out the powdered incense and incense balls and threw them into the incense burner respectively.

Soon, the hall was filled with a refreshing and light pine scent.

Emperor Fengyang asked, "What do you think of listening to and copying sutras in the Buddhist temple recently?"

Ye Wanqing stood quietly aside: "Reporting to the emperor, after staying in the Buddhist temple for two days, Qing'er felt that the fatigue from the journey was swept away. Even her sleep improved a lot, and she slept until dawn."

Sure enough, she never had that dream again.
