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

Chapter 52 Marquis Dingyuan

Ye Chenxi cut off the antlers and gave them to Ye Hongwei: "Dad, you have worked hard recently. Eat the antlers to replenish your body. Maybe, we can have a brother or sister next year."

Unexpectedly, his kindness was met with a scolding from Ye Hongwei: "Take the antlers and get out!"

Ye Chenxi almost cried out of grievance.

He ordered his men to cut the deer legs into pieces, sending a pair of horns and one hind leg to Emperor Fengyang, and the other hind leg to Chu Anlan.

Emperor Fengyang was very happy and rewarded him with a pony.

On this day, the palace welcomed the first snow of winter.

Taking advantage of the cold weather, Ye Chenxi came to find Ye Wanqing: "Sister, the horse that the emperor gave me has been trained. Not many people go out. Why don't you go and take a look? An Lan and I will teach you how to ride a horse. Do you want to learn?"

horse riding?

Ye Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "Then can you lend me some clothes?"

"This girl is really thoughtful!" Ye Chenxi gave a thumbs up: "If you change into men's clothes, who can tell whether you are a man or a woman from a distance?"

Ye Wanqing urged him: "Go quickly."

Ye Chenxi ran very fast, and when he came back, he was holding a lake blue brocade robe with tight sleeves.

Ye Wanqing went into the house and changed.

Her height was about the same as Ye Chenxi's. After putting on Ye Chenxi's clothes and tying her hair up, she looked exactly like Ye Chenxi from behind.

However, her figure is slimmer.

Ye Chenxi kept circling around her: "Girl, if your eyebrows were thicker, your eyes were narrowed a little, and your nose was bigger, you would look like me! Tell me, if we dress the same and turn our backs to people, can others tell us apart?"

Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "Why not give it a try?"

Ye Chenxi couldn't contain his excitement: "Let's dress the same someday and let our parents tell the difference?"

"Aren't you afraid that your father will break your legs?" Ye Wanqing asked with a smile.

When he mentioned his father, Ye Chenxi immediately became listless: "Forget it, let's go horseback riding."

……

On the way to the stable, Ye Chenxi said, "Sister, take Yaolin to the stable first, I'll go find Anlan."

Ye Wanqing nodded.

After winter came, Huixianshan Palace suddenly became deserted.

In the entire palace, the only lively places were the various courtyards and palaces, as well as the hunting grounds where people were still hunting.

The princes, ladies and wives who had been pampered in Jindu for many years could not stand the severe cold in the north and were too lazy to even go out.

Ye Wanqing was wearing Ye Chenxi's cloak, and her black boots stepped on the soft snow, making a creaking sound that made people's teeth ache.

She found it interesting.

In the past, there were not many days like this.

In her previous life, she had seen snow in the imperial palace, the Ye Mansion, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the general's mansion, but she had never stepped on snow herself.

Every morning when she woke up, the snow in the yard had already been shoveled away by the servants.

The servants kept whispering in her ears: "Women cannot stand the cold. When it snows, Madam, please try not to go out. If you are cold, you will not be able to keep the baby."

In winter, the charcoal fire in her room always burned warmly.

It was so warm that the snow fell even on the roof of Juchun Hall, but it never piled up thick.

After winter came, Lu Ji Lian seldom stayed overnight in her room because he was afraid of heat and could not stand such a strong charcoal fire.

He didn't know that she was actually afraid of heat. He had ordered people to light those fires.

……

Huixianshan Palace is a really great place.

The snow is white and the whole place is covered with silver.

Looking at the endless white, Ye Wanqing bent down and grabbed a handful of snow from under a pine tree by the roadside, causing the snow on the tree to fall down in surprise.

Seeing this, Yao Lin quickly stepped forward to block it: "Miss, the snow is too cold, be careful not to get cold."

"It's okay!" Ye Wanqing rolled the snow into a ball and walked forward. She thought it would take a while for Ye Chenxi and Chu Anlan to come over, so she simply changed to a secluded path and stepped on the snow while walking.

After walking for a while, Yao Lin suddenly spoke up to remind her: "Miss, there seems to be someone talking in the pavilion ahead."

After hearing this, Ye Wanqing looked back.

It will take about half an incense stick of time to go back.

She whispered, "Let's go over there quickly, pretend we didn't hear anything, and enter the stable through the small door in front."

"Yes." Yao Lin responded.

Ye Wanqing held the snowball in her arms and walked forward with her head down.

The closer you get, the clearer the sound in the pavilion becomes.

"You've been avoiding me these days. Do you know you're in the wrong? You're always like this, indecisive! I've already taken action, why are you stopping me?"

"According to my father's wishes, killing him would be good for me, right?"

Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment and stopped suddenly.

The people in the pavilion in front are actually Lu Jilian and Dingyuan Hou?
kill him?

Who to kill?
A chill suddenly spread from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

Inside the pavilion.

The surroundings were silent, and all that came into view was white.

Lu Jilian was wearing a dark blue brocade robe and stood tall and graceful.

Marquis Dingyuan looked at his eldest son as if he was looking at a pine or cypress tree with extremely strong vitality.

He could almost foresee that in the near future, this pine tree would grow into an unshakable towering tree, blocking out the sky and the sun, and would shelter the Lu family under its luxuriance and glory for a hundred years.

Dingyuan Hou's voice slowly rang out: "Now that Ye Wanqing has finally reached her marriageable age, you lose to that idiot prince Chu Anlan. Are you really willing to accept this?"

After hearing this, Lu Jilian looked into Marquis Dingyuan's eyes and said, "Father, Jilian is already an adult and has the ability to get what he wants. Please don't interfere in my marriage. As long as Chu Anlan is alive, I can also marry Ye Wanqing."

"Are you blaming me for meddling in your business?" Dingyuan Hou's cloudy eyes turned stern. "You have really grown up and have your own ideas! In another two years, will you think that I have lived too long and am a nuisance to you?"

After saying that, he burst into a heart-wrenching cough.

Lu Jilian stepped forward to support him and patted his back gently: "The sun is coming out soon, and the wind is biting when the snow melts. Dad, please go back to your room and rest first."

Dingyuan Hou coughed until his eyes turned red, and said in a hoarse voice: "You really think I'm useless and a nuisance to you..."

"Father, you are too kind." Lu Jilian said softly, "Father raised me personally, I just wish you a long and happy life."

Dingyuan Hou shook off his hand and said, "You should marry and have children soon. Give birth to more smart and clever sons and train them to be the next you. Bring glory to the Lu family, and I will live a long life!"

Lu Jilian responded, "I'll do my best."

Looking at his gentle face, Marquis Dingyuan sighed, "I am old and will not live long. The future of the family will soon be handed over to your shoulders. But who will take over the Lu family from you in the future?"

Lu Jilian said nothing.

Dingyuan Hou's eyes were filled with coldness: "I will give you another year. I hope that by this time next year, I can see your marriage. Otherwise, don't blame Dad for interfering. You are the future head of the Lu family. You should act cleanly and efficiently. Don't be soft-hearted and miss the opportunity."

Lu Jilian was silent for a moment, then responded very softly, "Yes."

Dingyuan Hou waved his sleeves and said, "I'm a little tired, please take me back."

"Dad, please first."

Lu Jilian supported Marquis Dingyuan and slowly walked down the snow-covered stone steps towards the direction where Ye Wanqing and Yao Lin were.

Yao Lin trembled all over: "Miss, do you want to find a place to hide?"

Ye Wanqing lowered her head and looked at the ground.

There are obvious footprints left on the snow-covered ground.

If she hides now, Lu Ji Lian will definitely find out that she has been here before today.

With his intelligence, he could guess without thinking that she had heard something and was deliberately avoiding him.

By then, things could easily get out of control.
