Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 171 Reconciliation

Qin Yurou nodded. She remembered that Chen Xiaoling beat Song Wen because he spoke rudely.

"He's a frequent visitor to the brothel, and one of his lovers is the top prostitute at Cuixiang Courtyard."

"You understand so clearly?"

"Men talk without restraint when they are together, so it's natural that I hear some of it."

Qin Yurou agreed a little bit, because when they were together, they also liked to talk about men, and sometimes the topics were quite explicit.

Li Zong saw that Qin Yurou's expression had softened, so he continued, "Li Chuang and Zhang Liang are both in the military camp, and there are official prostitutes in the military camp."

Qin Yurou knew that the wives and daughters of officials whose homes were confiscated would sometimes be sent to military camps to serve as military prostitutes. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown. After all, there are no good men in this world. She sighed in her heart.

"Even if all men in the world are like this, I still hope that the husband I choose is a man of integrity and self-discipline."

"How am I not upright? I almost lost my job for this. How am I not a clean person? At least I didn't go to brothels."

Qin Yurou wanted to laugh. Did this man have some misunderstanding about standing firm? He always blamed others when something went wrong, but she still came up with her own ideas and found a solution.

"Kneel here. Let me see your sincerity first."

"Yu Rou, can I kneel on the mat?"

Qin Yurou threw a cushion to him and then lay down on the bed.

In the middle of the night, Yu Rou opened her eyes and saw Li Zong still kneeling there. She softened her heart and said, "Stop kneeling."

Li Zong stood up happily upon hearing this, pounded his knees, and limped over to the bed: "Thank you for forgiving me. I promise to be devoted to you from now on and never touch other women."

"Where's Lanzhi?"

"As you wish."

"Go to sleep!"

Li Zong lay down, stretched out his hands to Qin Yuruo's waist, and pressed his body tightly against her.

"Aren't you incapable?"

"I take medicine every day, and now I feel it."

Qin Yurou didn't say anything. Li Zong knew that she had acquiesced. He was a little excited because he hadn't touched a woman for two months. He told himself that he must perform well tonight and not let Yurou down.

When the results of the Autumn Examination were announced, the murderer of Mr. Zhang was also arrested. He was a teacher at Jinghua Academy. He had been a classmate of Mr. Zhang. Because Mr. Zhang's lectures were interesting, many of his students ran to Qingshan Academy. Jinghua Academy wanted to fire him, so he went to find Mr. Zhang in anger. The two did not get along, and he drew his knife in anger and stabbed Mr. Zhang. Just then, Jinbao came in, and he handed the dagger to Jinbao and went out, shouting, "Murder."

When Ye Youlan heard this, she asked the Seventh Prince, "Do you believe it?"

"I believe it, but there must be someone behind this. He's just shouldering the entire responsibility now. This incident has dealt a heavy blow to Jinghua Academy. The top three in the exam were from other academies, but twelve of the top twenty were from Jinghua Academy. Even though a centipede is dead, it's still alive."

Ye Youlan was curious: "What place did Qiao Luochuan take?"

"Not bad, he's the third place. The first and second place are both from Puzhou."

"Isn't that Zhang Liang's hometown? It seems to be a good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

"Where's Song Wen?"

"Ranked 21st among Jinshi, not bad."

"How are the performances of Qingshan Academy and Nanfeng Academy?

"There are a total of forty-three Jinshi and first-place candidates. Eight are from Qingshan Academy, and ten are from Nanfeng Academy."

"It seems there's still some gap between them and Jinghua Academy. Their entry into the imperial court could indeed disrupt the previous balance."

"We'll need to think about which department to send them to next. Do you have any good ideas?"

"I can't help you with this. I don't know much about government affairs."

"I won't ask directly, and the idle prince can't ask too much. Just help with the necessary information."

Ye Youlan took his arm and said, "Can I go out for some fresh air?"

"Where do you want to go?"

Ye Youlan counted on her fingers and said, "I want to soak in the hot springs and have a barbecue. Let's go to the small creek in the suburbs to see if we can catch some crayfish. Miaoyu sent a basket of lobsters last time, but it wasn't enough."

"Don't you want to eat roasted cicadas? You were still angry when you didn't get to eat them last time!"

When Ye Youlan heard that there should still be August cicadas, she said, "Okay, that's fine."

So the Seventh Prince took Ye Youlan to the royal hunting ground, where there were hot springs.

"Why didn't you tell me last time we came to play?"

The Seventh Prince laughed: "There were so many people last time, and they weren't married yet so they couldn't take a hot spring bath together. We have to consider their feelings."

Ye Youlan smiled: "You are so cunning."

Ye Youlan asked, "Please pay attention to security. I don't want another group of assassins to break into the hot springs."

"Don't worry, not even a mosquito can fly in."

Ye Youlan casually caught a mosquito and held it in her palm. The mosquito blood flowed out, and she opened her palm to show the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince was speechless.

Ye Youlan took the Seventh Prince's hand and said, "While we were taking a bath in the hot spring, your secret guards wouldn't be squatting in the trees watching us, right?"

"What are you thinking? The hot spring is inside the house."

Ye Youlan patted her chest and said, "That's good. Let's go!"

"Go hunting first, come back for a barbecue, then take a nap and go to the hot springs."

"It's up to you."

The two changed into hunting clothes in the room and went out hunting, with Xiaomei and Li Yi following behind.

Ye Youlan thought the two men were light bulbs, so she asked them to go to the other side to pick some mushrooms.

Xiaomei stopped and watched the princess and the princess walking hand in hand into the mountains. She said to Li Yi, "Do they look like they're hunting?"

"Don't talk behind your master's back, and remember to be careful with your words and actions."

Xiaomei raised her eyes and stared at Li Yi, and asked in surprise: "You are not going to tell the prince what I said, are you?"

Li Yi chuckled: "The prince only wants to hear about things related to the princess."

Xiaomei became interested when she heard this: "Tell me what you said about the princess in front of the prince before? Did you hear everything the princess and I said in the house from the roof?"

Li Yi blushed: "I'm not on the roof, I'm far away, but I have excellent hearing, I can basically hear what you are saying."

Xiaomei patted him and said, "I've already told the princess that the prince sent secret guards in the name of protection, but in reality they were just surveillance. The thought of a pair of eyes watching from a distance makes me feel creepy. The princess didn't think it was a big deal, saying it was a sign of the prince's love for her."

Li Yi blushed: "I didn't follow the princess. Usually when she was alone, I would just stay in bed and rest. You woke me up when you went to the room and talked, so I heard something."

Xiaomei glared at him. "What do you mean? You said I have a loud voice?"

"No, I mean I really want to hear your voice."

Xiaomei then smiled and said, "Let's go pick some mushrooms."
