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

Chapter 56: Take More Care

Ye Wanqing couldn't help but be stunned.

There is some truth in what my father said.

Her mother was the noble eldest princess, and she had been surrounded by countless servants since she was born.

From childhood to adulthood, there were people who took care of my food, clothing and daily necessities.

In fact, Ye Wanqing could vaguely tell that her father's bad temper recently was entirely due to his worries and anxiety.

The source is probably her marriage.

Her father dreamed that she would marry a gentleman from a famous family who was both talented and gentle.

He could roughly foresee a life of stability, prosperity and peace in Lu Jilian.

However, in Chu Anlan, he only saw a cloud of white mist and a bleak future.

Therefore, the closer it got to her and Chu Anlan's engagement ceremony, the more anxious he became.

Her father was not good at speaking, but he loved her very much.

At this time, Chu Yanrong suddenly said to Ye Hongwei: "Before I married you, didn't I also give you some private items? Didn't you accept them happily at that time?"

Ye Hongwei was speechless for a moment: "I..."

Chu Yanrong immediately interrupted him: "You didn't even promise to marry me at that time, but you took my things first, and even wore them for me to see. What do you think of this?"

Ye Hongwei was speechless: "I treasure the gift you gave me very much."

"Then tell me, should Wanqing give me this belt as a gift or not?" Chu Yanrong raised her eyes and asked.

Ye Hongwei closed his eyes helplessly: "I can give it to you!"

Chu Yanrong smiled when she heard this: "Qing'er, just give her the belt."

Ye Wanqing smiled: "Listen to mother."

When making items that are close to the body, you need to measure the size first, and you can’t be impatient.

Seeing that the weather was gloomy and there were signs of snow, Chu Yanrong first asked someone to open the things that Chu Anlan had sent and take a look, and also to register them.

The housekeeper stepped forward and opened the cabinets one by one: "What the prince sent are all flowers and plants."

Flowers and plants?

Ye Wanqing helped Chu Yanrong over.

I saw that the cabinet was a warming cabinet, and the inside was filled with many bonsai trees.

There are camellias, plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, and even a few pots of peonies half a person's height.

Although it is winter, these branches are green and full of flower buds. The buds have already shown color and I am afraid they will bloom within a month.

To develop this habit, not to mention the money, just the thought and effort alone would cost an unknown amount.

Chu Yanrong couldn't help but sigh: "Qing'er, An Lan really cares about you."

Ye Wanqing's eyes flickered.

Chu Yanrong added: "It seems that one belt may not be enough. You have to put more thought into it."

There were hundreds of pots of flowers, big and small, sent by Chu Anlan, and Jinghong Garden alone could not accommodate them all.

What's more, these flowers are delicate. Except for camellia and plum blossoms, the rest can only be placed in the greenhouse. They need to be moved out to bask in the sun at noon, and moved back to the greenhouse when it gets a little cold.

Especially the peony, someone must be watching over it for twelve hours.

So, Chu Yanrong ordered people to clean up a spacious room to grow flowers, and politely gave a large reward to the gardener sent by Chu Anlan.

The little fox was brought back to Jinghong Garden by Ye Wanqing.

Chu Anlan said that on the day she met the wild leopard in Huixian Mountain Palace, all the young men who came into the mountain took a fancy to this little fire fox.

A group of people made a bet to see who could shoot it during a hunt.

Some even said that whoever hunted this little fire fox would pay a thousand taels of silver to buy its skin to make a fox fur collar.

In the end, several people competed for it and raised the price to ten thousand taels of silver.

Chu Anlan also likes this fox.

After everyone finished discussing, he spoke directly: "I want to catch this fox alive, and no one is allowed to snatch it from me!"

He has a domineering personality and is really difficult to deal with.

So, the little fire fox was given to him.

...With the addition of a little fox, Jinghong Garden became a lot more lively.

At first, people in the yard didn't dare to approach the furry, whimpering little creature for fear of angering it.

Unexpectedly, the little fox had an unexpectedly good temper.

Ye Hongwei specially invited a veterinarian to his house, took the little fox to his yard, and asked the veterinarian to check it out.

The veterinarian took a look and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Prince Dun also asked me to help look after this little fox. It is only about seven or eight months old. It probably couldn't find food in the palace, so it looks a little skinny and dry..."

After the veterinarian left, Ye Hongwei came to Jinghongyuan specifically to find Ye Wanqing.

He said with a straight face: "The veterinarian said that this fox was separated from its parents when it was young and couldn't find food in the hunting grounds. It needs to be well nourished."

When Ye Wanqing heard this, she knew that her father liked this fox.

She then said, "My daughter has been quite busy lately, could you please help take care of her for a few days?"

Ye Hongwei was visibly happy, but he deliberately lowered his voice: "In this case, your father will have to work a little harder. I will pick you up at mealtimes and feed you and then bring you back."

Ye Wanqing smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, father."

Ye Hongwei smiled: "No problem."

The flowers were taken care of by a gardener day and night, the little fox was fed by its father, and the engagement ceremony was taken care of by someone in the mansion, so Ye Wanqing had no worries.

She chose a day and went to the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager and Concubine Qiao.

After not seeing each other for two months, the Empress Dowager had a few more gray hairs on her temples.

When she saw her, the Queen Mother asked her directly, "It is said that you were nearly injured by a wild leopard when you were at Huixian Mountain. Was it Lu Jilian who saved you?"

Ye Wanqing responded: "Yes."

The Queen Mother asked again, "When Chu Anlan was assassinated in the hunting ground, was it Lu Jilian who rescued him?"

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Yes."

Looking at her bright and beautiful face, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh: "There is really an evil relationship between the three of you."

Ye Wanqing lowered her eyes and said nothing.

The Queen Mother slowly fiddled with the beads in her hand and changed the subject: "How are the preparations for the engagement ceremony going?"

Ye Wanqing said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, preparations are almost complete."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and looked at her kindly for a long time: "After the engagement ceremony, bring Chu Anlan to see me."

Ye Wanqing agreed obediently.

After returning home, Ye Wanqing began to concentrate on preparing the return gift.

An embroidered brocade robe with sleeves, a cape, a belt, and a pair of boots.

Before that, she made a pair of boots for her father and a pair of embroidered shoes for her mother.

After receiving the shoes, Ye Hongwei tried them on and immediately had someone put them away in a box for safekeeping.

Chu Yanrong's eyes suddenly turned red.

This is the first time my daughter gave her a gift. She has really grown up!

……

That day, Liao Fuyu came to Jinghong Garden.

After entering the room, she looked at the gorgeous embroidery on the shelf and exclaimed, "Wanqing, I didn't know your needlework was so good!"

Ye Wanqing held the needle and raised her eyes at the right time.

After not seeing her for more than ten days, Liao Fuyu had become much fairer, more beautiful, and she even wore a skirt with intricate patterns, which was rare for her.

Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "You have been dressing up a lot these days, right?"

Liao Fuyu's cheeks turned slightly red: "You saw through it!"

Seeing her like this, Ye Wanqing made some judgments in her heart: "Fu Yu, you didn't come to see me after returning to Beijing. Are you very busy recently?"

"I..." Liao Fuyu's face turned red to her ears: "Wanqing, after returning from Huixian Mountain Palace, Prince Duan's wife always went to Jingbei Marquis Mansion to see me. Many times, Prince Duan's son also accompanied her..."

Ye Wanqing's eyes moved.

Liao Fuyu continued, "I noticed that you were quite indifferent to Prince Duan. I was worried that you might think too much, so I didn't dare to come to see you."

Are you afraid that she will think too much?
