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

Chapter 68 Master
When leaving the palace, the carriage from Prince Dun's mansion had already left.

On the long street in front of the palace gate, there was only one carriage belonging to the Princess's Mansion, and the Princess's maid was standing beside the carriage.

The car curtain was lifted, revealing Ye Wanqing's peach-like face.

There was no one else in the carriage.

Chu Anlan, who had been dejected all the way, suddenly brightened up and walked towards the carriage happily.

After walking a few steps, I saw another person coming out of the palace gate.

A middle-aged man in a dark grey brocade robe, led by a young eunuch, hurried out with an imperial physician.

On the long street, wheels were rolling and a black-covered horse-drawn carriage was coming.

Seeing Chu Anlan, the young eunuch spoke first: "Greetings to Prince Dun."

The middle-aged man and the imperial physician also bowed their heads.

Chu Anlan was curious: "Where is the imperial physician going? Who is sick?"

The middle-aged man looked up at him and said, "My eldest son caught a cold last night and has not gotten better yet, so I went to the palace to ask the imperial physician to treat him."

In this capital, there is only one person who is called the Eldest Prince.

"Lu Jilian is sick?" Chu Anlan opened his eyes wide.

The middle-aged man bowed to him and left with the imperial physician.

Chu Anlan couldn't help but smack his lips, and walked to the carriage of the Princess's Mansion: "Wanqing, I'm coming in."

Without waiting for anything to happen, he swiftly got into the carriage.

As expected, there was only Ye Wanqing in the carriage.

Ye Wanqing closed the pile of scriptures that the Queen Mother had just given her and said softly, "It's freezing cold, so the two mothers will go back first."

Mother?

Chu Anlan smiled particularly brightly: "So, you stayed here specially to wait for me and send me home?"

"Yes." Ye Wanqing's eyes were sparkling.

The carriage was driving on the wet bluestone after the snow. The light inside the carriage was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of white light.

Chu Anlan's heart was pounding when he saw it.

Ye Wanqing picked up the warm tea from the stove, poured a cup, and handed it to Chu Anlan: "Drink it to get rid of the cold."

Chu Anlan said: "The maids are not here."

Ye Wanqing paused while holding the teapot, raised her eyes and said, "If the prince wants a servant to serve him, I will ask Ying Xiang to come up."

"No need!" Chu Anlan said quickly.

It’s only when there’s no one else around that he can understand what he wants!

Chu Anlan tilted his head to drink tea, and while Ye Wanqing wasn't paying attention, he rinsed his mouth with the tea.

After rinsing, your mouth is filled with the fragrance of tea.

He cleared his throat and began to complain: "The day after I fell into the water, you said you would come to see me in a few days. Why didn't you come? During those days, my wounds scabbed over and it was painful and itchy."

Seeing his eyes staring at her with wet and bright eyes, Ye Wanqing opened her mouth: "Sorry, I broke my promise..."

Chu Anlan was delighted: "Then why don't you consider making it up to me?"

make up?

Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Chu Anlan meant.

The boy's gaze was too frank and scorching, making it hard to resist.

Ye Wanqing's face was hot: "...Okay."

She put down the teacup, supported the cushion on the carriage with one hand, and moved towards Chu Anlan's face, closing her eyes as she got closer.

Suddenly, my lips felt hot.

The softness with the scent of tea rubbed against her lips repeatedly.

Seeing that she did not resist, Chu Anlan boldly approached her and placed his hot palm on the back of her head.

In the quiet carriage, the two exchanged breaths.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage jolted and Ying Xiang's voice rang out from outside the carriage: "The road was icy and the wheels slipped, which disturbed the princess and the prince."

Chu Anlan finally let go of Ye Wanqing.

The carriage curtains swayed, and in the light of the snow, both of them looked as if they had applied a thin layer of rouge, their faces rosy.

Chu Anlan suddenly burst into laughter. Ye Wanqing's eyes moved slightly, and she turned away her hot face to divert her attention: "Did the emperor blame the prince today?"

"Yes!" Chu Anlan straightened his face: "The emperor thinks I haven't studied enough, and said that he wants the prince to arrange a teacher for me. He also said that he wants me to participate in the spring examination next year."

"Spring Examination?" Ye Wanqing was surprised and said, "It's less than two months away from next year's Spring Examination. Is the Emperor sure to let you participate?"

"Yes." Chu Anlan hung his head dejectedly: "The emperor said that I should take the imperial examination and become a Jinshi."

Ye Wanqing consoled him, "It's good enough as long as you try your best, there's no need to fight for a title."

Chu Anlan pursed his lips: "Let's talk about it later."

……

There is an especially heavy snowfall in the twelfth lunar month.

After entering the palace that day, it snowed heavily for another three days.

It was freezing cold, and Ye Wanqing stayed in the house copying the scriptures given to her by the empress dowager.

During this period, Ye Chenting went out.

His trip was not going well.

In order to prepare for the imperial examination, Ye Chenting searched everywhere for a rare copy of an ancient book related to water conservancy.

That day, after receiving the news, he hurriedly rode on horseback to a bookstore in Jindu to look for books.

However, due to heavy snow and strong wind, the horse hit a carriage, which startled the other horse and caused the owner of the carriage to fall out of the carriage.

The quiet and beautiful lady fell directly onto the snowy street.

Ye Chenting apologized and looked for a doctor for the noble lady. For several days, he stopped reading and took a lot of good medicinal herbs and supplements to send to the lady every day.

After returning home, I have been distracted ever since.

At the same time, Chu Anlan started to make trouble again.

The reason was that the prince arranged a teacher for Chu Anlan.

The teacher was none other than Lu Jilian, the eldest son of Marquis Dingyuan!

Since Chu Anlan fell into the water, he only went out on the day of the engagement ceremony and when he went to the palace to express his gratitude.

The rest of the time, he stayed in the mansion to recuperate.

He didn't take the Spring Examination that Emperor Fengyang mentioned to heart. Every day he either played with the little fox or asked Mo Yan to read him a storybook.

Mo Yan knows no more words than Chu Anlan.

Usually, Mo Yan would pause while reading and hand the script to Chu Anlan: "Sir, I don't recognize this character..."

Chu Anlan leaned over to take a look: "Jing, You, Ma or Niao? What kind of crappy characters are there that can have so many strokes? They are all blurred together!"

The master and the servant stared at each other.

It was at this time that Lu Jilian came to Youlongyuan.

After not seeing you for a while, Lu Jilian has lost a lot of weight. He is wearing a thick silver-white fox fur coat, and looks a little more slender like a bamboo.

He coughed twice and stood at the door. "Jing, You, bird, is 'vulture'. Vultures are fierce and are birds of prey. They often eat hares and lambs."

Chu Anlan turned around and saw someone. He thought he was dreaming and rubbed his eyes: "Why are you in my house?"

Lu Jilian stood against the light, his eyes the brightest being: "The Crown Prince arranged for me to come down and give lectures to the Crown Prince."

Chu Anlan was originally sitting on the bed, but when she heard Lu Jilian's words, she lay back down, "Oh my god! My head hurts... Mo Yan, go entertain Master Lu..."

Lu Jilian had seen others use this little trick when he was three years old.

Lu Jilian said politely, "Since the prince is not feeling well, I will not disturb you any further. I will leave after delivering the gifts."

As he spoke, he clapped his palms.

Then, ten guards came in from outside the courtyard, forming teams of two, carrying five large cabinets filled with books.

Chu Anlan was dumbfounded: "What are these?"

Lu Jilian coughed twice more before saying, "These are the books that the prince must finish reading and memorize before the imperial examination next spring."

"Are you serious?" Chu Anlan's face twisted.

Lu Jilian smiled faintly and said, "It is indeed difficult to ask the prince to memorize a book that others would take twenty years to memorize in two months. But, with your intelligence, why not give it a try?"

Chu Anlan came back to his senses from the shock and looked at Lu Jilian suspiciously: "Are you sure you are not seeking revenge for your personal gain?"
