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

Chapter 69 Not So Resistant
Lu Jilian looked at him with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "I secretly believe that I have no personal grudge against the prince."

Chu Anlan got up from the bed and poured a cup of hot water for Lu Jilian seriously: "Come, Master Lu, have a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."

Lu Jilian's thin lips moved slightly: "No need, I should leave now."

"Yes, yes!" Chu Anlan stuffed the water cup into Lu Jilian's hand and said, "I just had my engagement ceremony a few days ago. I'm going to get some wedding candy for Master Lu to share in his good fortune."

Lu Jilian's brows were furrowed so tightly that he could have pinched a fly to death.

Chu Anlan turned around barefoot, picked up a big red wedding bag from the table, and stuffed it into Lu Jilian's arms enthusiastically: "You're welcome!"

In the end, Lu Jilian, with a gloomy face, carried the wedding bag, left Prince Dun's Mansion and got on his own carriage.

When the curtain of the car was lowered, he threw the wedding bag aside.

He didn't have to guess Chu Anlan's little thoughts.

She deliberately brought up the engagement gift and stuffed candy into his mouth just to provoke him and make him refuse to come to Prince Dun's mansion to give lectures.

Really ridiculous!
Before the carriage started, Lu Jilian knocked on the wall and told the attendant: "Go in and tell Prince Dun that I will come again in three days. He must finish reading the Book of Rites within three days."

Originally, Chu Anlan was happily waiting for Lu Jilian to resign, but in the end, he received a message from a servant.

Of course Chu Anlan couldn't tolerate it.

Then he asked Prince Dun to go and beg Emperor Fengyang, saying that he had developed a chronic illness after falling into the water and he got a headache whenever he saw a book.

How dare Prince Dun disobey the emperor's will?
So, from the morning hour onwards the next day, the loud sound of reading could be heard in Youlong Garden, and it lasted until the evening hour.

Ten people took turns reciting without stopping for a moment.

Chu Anlan listened to books when he slept, when he ate, and even when he went to the toilet, he could hear servants reading "Book of Rites" in his ears.

This went on for two days.

It's crazy!

Chu Anlan couldn't stand it anymore, so he used the excuse of looking for Ye Chenxi to play and hid in the Princess's Mansion.

In the carriage, Chu Anlan sat sideways and took a nap, his clothes disheveled.

The attendant held the Book of Rites and read it word by word: "The beginning of etiquette and morality lies in straightening the body and harmonizing the complexion..."

Chu Anlan gritted his teeth when he heard this.

As soon as he arrived at the Princess's Mansion, he greeted her and headed straight for Jinghong Garden: "Wanqing..."

Ye Wanqing and Liao Fuyu were studying facial cream when the light at the door dimmed and Chu Anlan came in.

Seeing him, Ye Wanqing was a little surprised: "Prince?"

She lowered her head and gave Liao Fuyu a few words of advice, then turned around, washed her hands in the water on the shelf, and walked out from behind the screen: "It's cold today, why did the prince go out?"

"I'll let you hide here." Chu Anlan sat on the chair: "These past two days, they almost drove me crazy."

Ye Wanqing curved her lips and said, "Is it about studying?"

Chu Anlan nodded vigorously.

Ye Wanqing handed him a cup of warm red date tea and said, "I heard that the prince arranged for Prince Lu to be your teacher."

"You also think that I don't need Lu Jilian as my teacher, right?" Chu Anlan seemed to have found a soulmate.

Ye Wanqing nodded.

It is indeed inappropriate to let Lu Jilian teach Chu Anlan.

But she couldn't guess the prince's thoughts.

Chu Anlan took a sip of tea and said, "How does the saying go? 'Once a teacher, always a father', right? Even if I pretend to be blind, I will not let him take advantage of me!"

Ye Wanqing looked at Chu Anlan and said, "Is this the reason why you don't want to study with Master Lu?"

"More than that!" Chu Anlan moved closer to her: "I also suspect that he has bad intentions by taking the opportunity to teach me. After all, he provoked me before, saying that he wanted to compete with me fairly and wanted to marry you." Ye Wanqing's eyes flashed slightly.

She privately felt that both she and Chu Anlan should have less contact with Lu Jilian.

It would be even better if we were strangers in this life.

However, from the day she was reborn, not only herself, but also Chu Anlan was repeatedly involved with Lu Jilian.

If Lu Jilian were to become Chu Anlan's teacher, things would become a real mess.

Ye Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Crown Prince and tell him that you don't want Prince Lu to delay his preparations for the next spring exam because of you. Then tell the Crown Prince that my second brother is also preparing for the exam at the mansion, and you will come to the Princess's mansion to study with him. And I will personally supervise your studies."

Hearing this, Chu Anlan's eyes lit up: "Wanqing, are you willing to teach me to read?"

Ye Wanqing did not answer but asked: "Sir, are you willing to learn from me?"

Although Chu Anlan doesn't like studying, he would be willing to do so if he could see Ye Wanqing often and talk to her!
He nodded vigorously: "I do!"

Ye Wanqing's eyes were gentle: "I don't ask you to be a scholar with a lot of knowledge, so you don't have to feel too much pressure. You should think of this study as reading a story book and learning more words. If you think this way, you won't be so resistant, right?"

Chu Anlan suddenly understood what was going on: "You are right!"

Asking him to study for the sake of passing an imperial examination would be as painful as asking him to die.

But, if you change your thinking, if he can learn a few more words and read the storybooks more smoothly, he will be very happy.

Chu Anlan did not stay any longer and went into the palace to find the prince immediately.

After he left, Liao Fuyu came out from behind the screen and said with envy, "Every time I see Prince Dun listen to you so much, I want to learn from you."

Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "Is Prince Duan not good?"

Liao Fuyu couldn't help but sigh: "He's good in every way. The only bad thing is that he's particularly cold to me..."

Ye Wanqing was silent.

Compared with Chu Anlan, Chu Xiaoyan was indeed indifferent to Liao Fuyu.

According to Liao Fuyu, although the emperor had granted the two of them a marriage, Chu Xiaoyan still treated her as politely as a stranger.

It seemed to be the same in the previous life?

Looking at the girl with a sad face, Ye Wanqing comforted her: "Prince Duan may not be familiar with you, so he seems a little cold. Everything will be fine after you get married."

"Really?" Hope ignited in Liao Fuyu's eyes. "Once he gets to know me, will he treat me the same way that Prince Dun treats you? Will he like me as much as I like him?"

Ye Wanqing was stumped by the question.

In fact, she wasn't sure.

In her previous life, she and Chu Xiaoyan had only met a few times and nodded to each other a few times.

She was completely unaware of the love-hate relationship between Chu Xiaoyan and Liao Fuyu.

And who can tell what will happen in the future?
I just hope that Prince Duan can give up his thoughts of rebellion and that Chu Xiaoyan can treat Liao Fuyu well.

Looking at Liao Fuyu who was full of expectation, Ye Wanqing had no choice but to say: "You are so good. If Prince Duan doesn't like you, it's probably because his eyesight is not good enough."

Hearing this, Liao Fuyu was relieved: "You are right. If he doesn't like me, it must be because his eyesight is not good! When I get married to him, I will personally go to him and let him take a good look at me! Sooner or later, he will like me so much that he can't help himself!"

Ye Wanqing laughed: "You are easy to please like this, but you will suffer in the future."

"Who told me to like him?" Liao Fuyu held up her face and smiled.

As expected, Chu Anlan went to the palace to meet the Crown Prince Chu Gongxiao.

After hearing his words, Chu Gongxiao thought for a moment and said, "An Lan, my father cares about you very much and also attaches great importance to your participation in the imperial examination next year. Even the officials who will recommend you for the examination have been arranged.

I asked Ji Lian to tutor you because I am using my personal connections. If you refuse, it will be very difficult for both me and Ji Lian."
