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

Chapter 83 "Rebellion"

Chu Yanrong said calmly: "I sent someone to check it out. The room is very clean and there are people guarding it. No one has ever entered it except An Lan."

Taking this opportunity, Ye Wanqing suddenly said, "Dad, Qing'er has something I want to ask you for help."

"What's wrong?" Ye Hongwei was a little unhappy.

Chu Yanrong glared at him: "Talk to your daughter properly."

Ye Hongwei had to force a smile and adjusted his tone: "Please tell me, is there anything you need your father to do for you?"

"My daughter would like to ask for your permission to train a few skilled guards in Jinghong Garden."

Ye Wanqing looked at Ye Hongwei steadily and said, "In addition, my daughter would like to ask father to teach An Lan riding, archery and martial arts."

Ye Hongwei thought he was hallucinating and asked incredulously, "What did you say?"

Ye Wanqing said seriously, "I want to add a few close guards with good martial arts to my daughter's dowry attendants."

"Not this one." Ye Hongwei stared, "Next one."

Ye Wanqing looked at her father with clear eyes and said sincerely, "Daughter would like to ask you to teach Chu Anlan horse riding, archery and martial arts."

Ye Hongwei almost couldn't catch his breath.

Chu Yanrong pushed the teacup closer to Ye Hongwei, then looked at Ye Wanqing: "Qing'er, have you discussed with An Lan about learning horseback archery and martial arts?"

"Not yet." Ye Wanqing said, "After the Spring Examination is over, my daughter will discuss it with him and he will definitely agree."

Before, she always thought that in this life, Chu Anlan just needed to live happily, and nothing else mattered.

But if you can't even save your life, how can you live a happy life?

He must improve himself, at least to be able to be independent when encountering problems and protect himself when in danger.

The first thing is to improve your martial arts.

If your future father-in-law teaches himself, you will definitely make progress much faster than if you are taught by someone else.

As for reading and learning, and gaining broader vision, these must also be expanded step by step.

……

Chu Yanrong glanced at Ye Hongwei and said, "In that case, why not wait until An Lan agrees? After all, he doesn't like studying very much. Forcing him may only backfire."

Ye Hongwei said, "How dare he disagree? He can't read or write, and he's not good at riding or shooting arrows. He can be easily kicked into the moat. He has poor martial arts skills and no ambition. I have tolerated this idiot for a long time. If I were Prince Dun, I would have broken his legs countless times!"

At the door, Ye Chenxi suddenly stopped.

He held onto the door frame and carefully poked his head into the dining room.

Break a leg?
Whose legs is Dad going to break?
Ye Chenxi was just hesitating whether to leave quietly and pretend that he had never come back, when the servant's voice came from behind him: "Young Master."

It was too late for Ye Chenxi to cover his mouth, so he had to pretend to walk into the dining room and greeted them obediently: "Dad, Mom, sister."

Seeing his son who had been following a group of playboys since he was young, Ye Hongwei immediately came up with a plan: "Later, you and Chu Anlan will learn martial arts from me. Teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is also teaching."

"what!"

Ye Chenxi was horrified and rushed over to hug Ye Hongwei's thighs: "Daddy, please don't! What I hate most is practicing martial arts, please forgive me!"

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Yanrong and Ye Wanqing as if asking for help: "Mom, sister, please help me say something!"

Chu Yanrong smiled and said, "Your father is right. I stand on his side."

Ye Chenxi looked at Ye Wanqing pitifully and helplessly, "Sister..."

Ye Wanqing was stared at with pleading eyes, but she remained unmoved: "It's useless for you to beg me, because I also want to learn with my father."

As soon as she finished speaking, three pairs of eyes fell on her face.

Chu Yanrong exchanged glances with Ye Hongwei in surprise, then looked at Ye Wanqing tacitly: "Qing'er, are you serious?"

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Father, mother, I have read many books. In the past, there were women from aristocratic families who specialized in horseback riding, archery and martial arts. So, I want to try it too."

Ye Hongwei was silent for a moment before he said, "I can teach you horse riding and archery, but not martial arts."

Chu Yanrong also said: "Qing'er, you are a girl, you don't know how hard it is to practice martial arts. What's more, wielding swords and knives is also very dangerous..." The two of them were unwilling to let their daughter practice martial arts no matter what.

Ye Wanqing knew that her parents had already made enough concessions, so she had to make the next best choice: "In this case, I will just follow my father to learn riding and archery."

Ye Chenxi almost cried: "Sister! It's ok if you don't help me, but why did you betray me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the back of his head.

Ye Hongwei rebuked: "You are so self-degrading, you bastard!"

Ye Chenxi ran away with his head in his hands.

……

The Spring Examination is in full swing.

With Gongyuan as the center, the surrounding streets were strictly controlled and people were not allowed to approach before the end of the examination.

At night, there is a curfew throughout the city.

The entire Jindu was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Even Ye Chenxi, who always liked to have fun everywhere, has become much more restrained.

On weekdays, he would just ride his pony and take a stroll around Jindu with his friends when there were few people around.

When he came back, he would occasionally bring some news—

"The day before yesterday, several students fainted during the exam. Some were pinched to wake up and continued to take the exam, while others were carried out for treatment..."

"Yesterday, someone almost finished answering the questions, but because he was too nervous, he sprayed blood all over the test paper, and the test was invalidated..."

"There was a student in his forties who had taken the exam for many years before he passed. He was finally able to take part in the imperial examination this year. As a result, he suddenly fell ill and died yesterday. It's really sad."

Ye Wanqing sat at the table beside the bed, holding a brush, and asked curiously, "Where did you hear all this? Isn't the area around the Imperial Examination Hall strictly controlled?"

"The guards on duty at the Imperial Academy said this during a casual chat." Ye Chenxi sat cross-legged on the couch: "I heard that Chu Shaozhen cried several times."

Ye Wanqing didn't care about him and only asked, "Where are my second brother and An Lan?"

"My second brother has always been mature and steady. I haven't heard anyone mention him." Ye Chenxi said, "But I heard people say that An Lan always complains about being hungry and has no energy to write. It seems that the food in the Gongyuan canteen doesn't taste very good."

Ye Wanqing smiled faintly and said, "The Spring Examination is held only once every three years, so there can be no mistakes, especially the food. It is most important to eat clean and light food so as not to get an upset stomach."

Ye Chenxi nodded in agreement: "That's right."

He stretched his neck and approached Ye Wanqing curiously: "Sister, you have been staying in the room writing these days, what have you written?"

Ye Wanqing covered the table with her wide sleeves: "I am copying the Book of Songs."

Book of Songs?

Ye Chenxi looked enlightened, blinked and asked her, "Is it for An Lan?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ye Chenxi took it as her acquiescence and said with a chuckle: "Then I won't bother you. They asked me to go horseback riding. I'll take the pony out for a walk."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Go ahead."

Ye Chenxi ran away happily.

Inside the house, Ye Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

She was not writing the Book of Poetry, but writing down some plans to be completed in the future.

Learned horse riding and archery from his father.

Guide Chu Anlan to read more, learn to read, and train his self-reliance and self-improvement abilities.

Train close guards and maids.

……

She crossed out the line that read "Prince Duan Chu Xiaoyan".
