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

Chapter 63: Good Sleep
Chu Anlan showed a bitter face, and his vocal cords trembled slightly: "So, you told me so much just to coax me to take the medicine?"

Ye Wanqing was stunned.

Coaxing him to take the medicine was real, and the dream was also real.

She held the medicine bowl in her hand, her tone gentle but somehow dignified: "The colder this medicine gets, the more bitter it will be. It's better to drink it while it's hot."

Chu Anlan's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.

Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "Prince, drink the medicine first. I brought you a bowl of milk soup. I think you will like it."

"Is it only milk soup?" Chu Anlan asked.

Ye Wanqing smiled: "I also brought osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, candied fruit..."

Chu Anlan leaned against the head of the bed: "It sounds very sweet."

"I've tasted it, it's very sweet." Ye Wanqing said patiently, "So, my lord, drink the medicine first, and then I'll get you something to eat."

Chu Anlan made up his mind: "Give me the bowl."

He sat up, took the bowl of medicine, tilted his long neck, and gulped down the whole bowl of medicine.

He dropped the bowl and his whole face was distorted.

The next moment, a candied fruit was gently placed in his mouth, and a sweet taste melted between his lips and teeth.

"Is it sweet?" Ye Wanqing asked with curved eyes.

Chu Anlan said: "You will know after you try it."

Hearing him say this, Ye Wanqing reached out, picked up a candied fruit from the plate and put it into her mouth.

Sure enough, it’s very sweet.

Chu Anlan hesitated to speak.

The taste he mentioned is not this kind of taste.

That's it.

He still had wound medicine on his face, while she had powder on today.

The stinky medicine cannot stain her rosy face.

Chu Anlan suppressed the throbbing in his heart and leaned back against the bed.

His eyes always followed Ye Wanqing.

For the ladies in the metropolis, whiteness and thinness are the most popular aspects of beauty. Most of them like to make their figures as thin as paper.

Ye Wanqing was also thin, but she was slim, slender, and graceful.

Every gesture and movement is dignified and calm.

Ye Wanqing took the pastries and milk soup, turned around, and saw Chu Anlan staring at her with clear and bright eyes.

She came over with the milk soup: "What are you looking at?"

The boy did not hide his smile and said, "You are so beautiful."

Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "Would the most handsome prince of Jindu, Prince Dun, also think that others are good-looking?"

Chu Anlan's ears turned red: "How does the saying go? In the eyes of the lover, the one who loves you is the one who loves you..."

"Who?" Ye Wanqing asked deliberately.

Chu Anlan scratched his head: "Xi Shi?"

Ye Wanqing couldn't help laughing: "What kind of books does the prince usually read?"

"I didn't study." Chu Anlan said frankly: "What's the point of studying? It's boring to talk about nonsense all day long."

Ye Wanqing was surprised: "Then, what does the prince do in the Imperial College every day?"

"Go to sleep." Chu Anlan looked at her righteously.

Ye Wanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Students of the Imperial Academy could only enroll when they were six years old.

This year, Chu Anlan is seventeen years old.

All in all, he had been sleeping in the Imperial College for a full eleven years!
Ye Wanqing recalled that when they were at the Huixian Mountain Palace, Chu Anlan went to Tingxue Pavilion to apologize to her while carrying a thorny branch on his back. As a result, he forgot how to say "carrying a thorny branch to ask for apology".

Ye Wanqing was speechless: "Prince...you sleep so well..." Chu Anlan laughed: "Just think of it as you are praising me."

Ye Wanqing smiled and handed over the milk soup in her hand: "The milk in our family is delivered fresh from the village every morning. Try it, is it to your liking?"

Chu Anlan reached out to take it.

When he fell into the water, the broken ice not only scratched his face and neck, but also left many small cuts on his hands.

It hurts just to look at it.

When the scab forms, it will definitely be itchy and painful and extremely uncomfortable.

Ye Wanqing's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Chu Anlan was bold. He took the bowl and tasted it. The corners of his lips were stained with white. "Why is the milk soup in the Princess's Mansion different from what I had elsewhere?"

Ye Wanqing answered patiently: "I heard from the cook that when he boiled the milk, he added some glutinous rice paste and fat paste to boil together, and added wolfberry honey before serving."

Chu Anlan drank the whole bowl of milk soup and said with satisfaction: "It's really good!"

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "If you like it, I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to you tomorrow. If you have other favorite desserts, you can also tell me."

Chu Anlan was stunned: "Won't you come to see me tomorrow?"

"Yes." Ye Wanqing said softly, "You fell into the water and have a lot of injuries. You should stay indoors and rest. I'll come to see you in a few days."

Chu Anlan said, "I don't want to rest quietly, I like the hustle and bustle! Come and see me, and talk to me every day!"

Ye Wanqing shook her head gently: "Wait a few days."

After the marriage proposal, she had met Chu Anlan too many times.

I heard that the memorials from the Ministry of Rites impeaching the two of them had piled up like a small mountain in the emperor's study.

Seeing that Emperor Fengyang ignored them, the group of ceremonial officials turned to Prince Dun and Ye Hongwei and criticized them for their poor parenting and for allowing their children to have secret meetings before marriage.

Ye Wanqing didn't care, but she should at least consider the face of her parents.

Chu Anlan was discouraged: "Well... okay."

Seeing him like this, Ye Wanqing softened her heart: "You will be bored alone, I will have someone send the little fox to you later. Father has been disciplining it personally recently, and it is very well behaved. Also, I will have someone find some interesting storybooks for you, if you are bored, you can read them and tell them to me next time I come."

Chu Anlan coughed dryly and said, "You can bring the little fox to me. There's no need for the book. My study can't even hold it."

Ye Wanqing suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness can't recognize all the words in the storybook, right?"

Chu Anlan felt a chill on his forehead, and he was full of reason: "What's wrong with knowing few words? What's wrong with not liking to study? Although I have studied less, I live more comfortably than others. Everyone only lives for a few decades, but I have earned more than ten years more than others to sleep and dream. How great am I?"

Ye Wanqing was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

How in the world could someone settle accounts like this?

Ye Wanqing sat with Chu Anlan for a long time.

During this time, no one came to disturb us.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Wanqing stood up and said, "Sir, please listen to the doctor's advice, take your medicine on time, and rest well. I should go back now."

Chu Anlan pursed his lips: "Remember to come and see me some other day."

"It's a deal." Ye Wanqing smiled.

She put everything on the table in order and put away the food box. She waved her slender, white fingers in front of Chu Anlan's eyes.

Chu Anlan's throat tightened and he called her, "Qing'er..."

"Hmm?" Ye Wanqing looked back: "What's wrong?"

Chu Anlan's eyes were blazing: "You won't be able to come to see me for several days in the future."

Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly: "My Lord, have you forgotten that in eight days, it will be our engagement ceremony."

Chu Anlan said with some worry: "My face is ruined like this, and I still have to go to the engagement ceremony in person to toast? Will I be laughed to death?"

Ye Wanqing smiled: "I'll wait for you."

After leaving, Ye Wanqing went straight to the Shuyuyuan of Prince Dun's wife.

The charcoal fire was burning brightly in the room. Chu Yanrong and Liao Fuyu were talking with the wife of Prince Dun.

Even while I was still outside the door, I could hear bursts of laughter coming from inside.
