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

Chapter 96 Going to Lin'an

"That's right!" Qianxi continued, "Before you said that Prince Dun was a fool, have you ever saved a person from a natural disaster or man-made disaster? Have you ever seen a flood? Have you ever seen a landslide? Thanks to the military merits of Marquis Jingbei, you can wear gorgeous clothes and taste delicious food. What qualifications do you have to stand here and criticize people who are better than you? Could it be that one of your sons didn't participate in this year's imperial examination? How come your son didn't even pass the imperial examination?"

The people who were discussing enthusiastically just now were rendered speechless.

After the two of them finished speaking, Ye Wanqing reprimanded them in a calm voice: "Millennium Sakura Fragrance, you must not be rude. You will be punished when you return home."

The two of them bowed and said, "I know I was wrong."

Qianxi stopped talking and glanced sharply at the person who had just gossiped.

The master and his two servants cooperated very well, and the group of people didn't dare to make a sound.

In the front yard, after the newlyweds offered tea and the bride said goodbye to her parents, she was welcomed into the bridal sedan and taken to Prince Duan's palace in a lively manner.

Along the way, firecrackers blasted and gongs and drums sounded.

Ye Wanqing didn't plan to stay any longer: "Yingxiang Qianxi, let's go home."

The two maids responded and helped Ye Wanqing walk out of the yard.

After walking a few steps, a maid in pink came to greet him hurriedly and bowed: "Princess, my wife asks you to stay for a while. She will come to see you after she finishes her business."

Ying Xiang frowned: "Who is your wife?"

The pink-dressed maid said, "Madam Jingbei Marquis."

Ji family?

It should be because of Ji Mingxiang.

Qianxi said: "My princess has important matters to attend to. If your wife has anything to say, she can go to the Princess's Mansion another day and deliver a visiting card."

The pink-dressed maid was anxious: "Princess..."

Ye Wanqing has always been a tolerant person, but she really can't be tolerant of Ji Shi: "Are you sure you want to force me to stay?"

The pink-dressed maid met her eyes and was persuaded to retreat by the icy coldness: "I have no intention of offending the princess, please forgive me!"

Ye Wanqing walked away.

No one dared to stop her until she left the Marquis' Mansion.

The long street was littered with broken firecracker shells. Young children from ordinary families were gathering in groups of three or five, laughing as they picked up unexploded firecrackers, scattered candies and coins on the street.

The sky is gloomy.

Ye Wanqing sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to take a look.

Ying Xiang looked out and said, "The rain has already fallen to the west. It will probably fall here in another cup of tea."

"Yes." Ye Wanqing looked at the dark clouds and said, "Today should have been a sunny day."

Ying Xiang whispered to the driver: "Drive faster, the spring rain is very cold, don't let the young lady get wet."

The driver responded and sped up.

When I returned home, it started to rain.

When Ye Wanqing walked across the corridor to the backyard with an umbrella, Ye Chenting was watching the rain under the eaves.

He stretched out his snow-white wrist, put his palm into the rain curtain, and let the fine spring rain pass through his fingers.

Ye Wanqing walked over: "Second brother."

Hearing the voice, Ye Chenting glanced sideways: "Qing'er, you're back so soon?"

Ye Wanqing handed over two exquisite candies wrapped in red oil paper: "These are Fu Yu's wedding candies, second brother, would you like to have a taste and share in the good fortune?"

Ye Chenting smiled and said, "Okay."

He took the candy with his clean hand, peeled off the wax paper, and put the candy into his mouth: "The wedding candy is very sweet."

Ye Wanqing stood beside him and said, "In a few days, the results of the imperial examination will be announced. Are you worried about the examination, brother?"

"No." Ye Chenting said vaguely.

"Second brother, are you thinking about Miss Cao?" Ye Wanqing asked.

Ye Chenting lowered his eyebrows: "She and I... I'm afraid we are not destined to be together."

The choice of the Crown Princess has not yet been announced. The longer he waits, the more depressed Ye Chenting becomes.

Seeing that he was worried, Ye Wanqing said gently, "In two days, I want to go to Lin'an City to see the peach blossoms. Can you come with me, brother?"

Ye Chenting asked: "Just you?"

"An Lan and Chen Xi will definitely go." Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "Probably Fu Yu and Chu Xiaoyan as well."

If nothing unexpected happens, this will probably be her last trip with Fu Yu.

On the wedding day of Liao Fuyu and Chu Xiaoyan, it rained for half a day. In the evening, the clouds dispersed and the sun rose, shining brightly with golden light.

From the direction of Prince Duan’s Mansion, the sound of firecrackers was deafening.

Listen, it's really lively.

The sound of firecrackers finally stopped long after nightfall.

This was the first time Ye Chenxi got drunk since he was allowed to drink, and was carried back home by Ye Hongwei from the carriage.

Along the way, Ye Hongwei's face stinkier than alcohol.

After three days of rest, Ye Chenxi finally recovered.

When he woke up again, he was already lying in a carriage heading to Lin'an, and they were almost there.

Outside the car window, along the official road, the spring scenery is bright.

Lin'an City is located southwest of the capital. It has high terrain and large mountains, and spring comes later than in the capital.

After entering the mountains, the temperature became much cooler.

Inside the carriage, there was a clean, soft mat, tea was warming on the stove, chestnuts and peanuts were scattered around the stove, and walnuts were being roasted.

The aroma of tea and fruit lingered throughout the carriage.

Liao Fuyu lifted the curtain of the carriage.

The fragrance hit my nose: "Qing'er, I seem to have come at the right time?"

Yingxiang and Qianxi stood up and saluted: "Prince Duan and his wife are doing well."

Liao Fuyu was almost frightened by the name.

Ye Wanqing helped her up and asked with a smile, "It's been two days. You finally remembered to see me? Prince Duan said you were not feeling well. Are you feeling better now?"

Liao Fuyu blushed: "Much better..."

Ying Xiang, who was sitting nearby embroidering, stood up from her knees, poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Prince Duan's wife, please have some tea."

Hearing this address, Liao Fuyu's face turned red again: "Just call me the same as before. Calling me the Crown Prince's Consort is so weird."

"But you married Prince Duan, so you are his consort." Qianxi peeled a handful of peanuts and handed them over, smiling and saying, "Prince Duan, I will treat you to some peanuts."

Liao Fuyu took the peanuts and threw one into her mouth: "Qing'er, why did you suddenly think of going to Lin'an City? Besides, there are so many of us going."

"Because the scenery of Lin'an City is just right." Ye Wanqing took a sip of tea. "Lin'an City is built on the hillside of Lin'an Mountain. There is a lake at the foot of the mountain, peach blossoms all over the mountain, and a river further down the mountain. Lin'an City has beautiful scenery, and is rich in glutinous rice, peach blossom wine, peach wine, and food made from glutinous rice."

Hearing the word "eat", Liao Fuyu immediately became interested: "Qing'er, how do you know so much about Lin'an City? Have you been there before?"

"I..." Ye Wanqing was stunned by the question.

In her previous life, she had indeed been to Lin'an City.

It was not long after their marriage that Lu Jilian was ordered by the emperor to go to Lin'an City to do an errand, and he took her with him on the trip.

Unfortunately, I went there at an inopportune time; the plums had already fallen, leaving only green fruits all over the mountains.

Therefore, she only tasted green plum wine, river fish, and peach blossom cake.

She only stayed there for two nights before returning to Beijing with Lu Jilian.

Thinking back now, the past seemed so long ago that it seemed like a dream. She couldn't even remember the taste of the food.

All I remember is that Lu Ji Lian didn't like sweets and told her to eat less.

Ye Wanqing smiled and looked at Liao Fuyu who was curious: "The capital is close to Lin'an. I heard it from others."
