Chapter 191 Gloating over misfortune
Ye Wanqing was helpless: "If your clothes and shoes don't fit, why don't you tell the servants who take care of you and ask them to change them in time?"

"Because I was busy being sad..." Ye Chenxi whispered, "Besides, the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the mansion were always taken care of by either my mother's people or your people. After you got married, my mother was busy being sad, and the servants started to slack off, and then they didn't pay attention to anything, and I didn't pay attention to it myself..."

Ye Wanqing felt a little distressed when she heard this: "The servants have received monthly wages to do work, so they must fulfill their responsibilities. Those who do not do their job well must be strictly disciplined. Tell the housekeeper if you need anything."

Ye Chenxi pursed her lips: "Hmm..."

Chu Anlan was watching from the side and was amazed: "I say, Ye Chenxi, why didn't I see before that you are a soft persimmon that will be bullied by the servants?"

"I'm not a pushover!" Ye Chenxi argued, "I just have a good temper and don't want to argue with them."

"Yeah, you're right." Chu Anlan agreed.

"Why do you sound so sarcastic?" Ye Chenxi asked.

"Who is being sarcastic?" Chu Anlan put his arm around Ye Chenxi's shoulder and walked towards the door, turning back to ask, "Qing'er, am I being sarcastic?"

Ye Wanqing pretended not to hear and spoke to Yingxiang beside her: "I have some spices in Jinghong Garden. Please help me collect them and take them back later."

Ye Chenxi finally became proud: "An Lan, see, in my sister's heart, you and I are equally important."

"Tsk, you don't understand."

Chu Anlan put his arm around Ye Chenxi's shoulder and leaned close to his ear to ask a few questions.

Before he finished asking, Ye Chenxi's face flushed and he became angry and said, "Why are you asking me this? Ah! You have no shame!"

Chu Anlan: “Hahaha…”

Ye Chenxi was so angry that he pushed him away and ran away.

When Ye Wanqing looked up, the person had already run away.

Ying Xiang was puzzled: "What happened to the young master?"

Qianxi smiled and said, "It must be that the prince said something he shouldn't have said to him, which made him angry."

"The eldest young master grew up with the prince since he was a child and has a good temper. How could he be annoyed?" Yingxiang was puzzled.

Ye Wanqing has a headache.

main hall.

As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, they heard Ye Chenxi's voice complaining from the main hall -

"An Lan is going too far! He...he bullied my sister!"

"It's bad enough that he bullied my sister, but he also dragged me into talking nonsense."

"I'm going to be pissed off!"

"..."

Chu Anlan tilted his head: "Hey, he really went to sue me."

Ye Wanqing glanced at him calmly: "Big brother rarely complains. What did the prince say to him just now?"

Chu Anlan coughed lightly: "It's not a big deal. Qing'er, I'm so thirsty. I haven't had any water this morning. If I don't drink some water, I'll die of thirst, right?"

Ye Wanqing retracted her gaze: "Go in first."

In the main hall, Chu Yanrong and Ye Hongwei had already arrived. They sat on chairs drinking tea and listening to their son's complaints.

Seeing the two people come in, Ye Chenxi immediately shut up and looked away.

Ye Wanqing's eyes were bright and she bowed: "Mother, Father."

Chu Anlan also smiled and bowed: "Father and mother are well, I am honored to be your son-in-law."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came over and served tea.

Chu Anlan was more well-behaved and polite than ever before. He took a cup of tea and offered it to Chu Yanrong first: "Mother, please have some tea."

Chu Yanrong took the tea with a gentle smile and took a sip.

Chu Anlan picked up another cup of tea and smiled, "Father, please have some tea."

Ye Hongwei picked up the tea, drank half of it in one gulp, and handed the teacup to the maid.

Chu Yanrong handed the red envelope to Chu Anlan, said some auspicious words, and then asked: "Last night, was it the prince who ordered you to come back?" "Yes." Chu Anlan said: "It was late at night, and I was ready to stay in the cell."

After he finished speaking, Ye Hongwei glanced at him: "You are newlyweds, and you keep saying these unlucky words."

Chu Anlan smiled brightly: "No taboos."

Chu Yanrong frowned: "This morning, people from the Dali Temple came. Chen Ting didn't even go to court. He was taken directly to the Dali Temple. I don't know why."

"If the prince were to see him, he would definitely send someone to inform us in advance." Ye Hongwei said solemnly, "Since no one came to the palace to inform us in advance, it must be someone else who wants to investigate him."

Others?

The five people looked at each other in silence.

Everyone had the answer in their hearts.

The day of returning to the parents' home should have been a festive and lively occasion, but because Ye Chenting was taken away, the Princess's Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of sorrow.

Even the servants who were sweeping the floor dared not make any unnecessary noise.

Chu Yanrong said, "After Chen Ting returned to Beijing from his study tour, he has been busy with official duties besides the imperial examinations. You don't need to worry too much. I sent someone to the palace and there will be news later. Today is the day when Qing'er returns home. I asked someone to prepare a lot of breakfast and snacks that you like, and there are also some that An Lan likes. Come, let's try them together."

After saying that, he pulled Ye Wanqing to sit down.

Seeing this, Chu Anlan also smiled and sat next to Ye Hongwei: "Father, hehe..."

The two looked into each other's eyes.

Chu Anlan: "Haha."

Ye Hongwei held up the teacup to cover half of his face and asked, "How is your chest injury recovering?"

Chu Anlan raised his hand and clapped his hands vigorously: "Don't worry, father, I have recovered very well and can take good care of Qing'er."

"Really?" Ye Hongwei raised his eyelids and said, "Should I call the court doctor to take your pulse?"

"Okay!" Chu Anlan smiled brightly.

Ye Hongwei summoned the palace doctor.

Seeing this, Chu Yanrong couldn't help but hold her forehead and smile.

Ye Wanqing smiled and shook her head.

Soon, the palace doctor came to take Chu Anlan's pulse and checked the wound: "Your Highness's injuries have recovered well and are no longer serious. I will prescribe some ointment. Your Highness should apply it once a day. After half a year, the scars will be gone."

Chu Anlan tidied his clothes, came out from behind the screen, and said with a smile: "I told you, I'm already healed."

"Very good." Ye Hongwei nodded: "From the day after tomorrow, you will practice boxing and horse stance in the palace in the morning, and come to the Princess's Palace to practice riding, archery and sword in the afternoon."

"What?!" Chu Anlan was stunned.

Ye Hongwei said coldly: "Isn't what I said clear enough?"

Chu Anlan covered his chest and said, "Father-in-law, although my wounds have healed, my internal injuries have not yet fully healed! My heart aches when I move. Practicing boxing, horse stance, and bow pulling have torn my internal injuries. What should I do?"

Ye Hongwei was unmoved: "Since you are so weak, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, this wedding wouldn't have to take place."

"Puff..." Ye Chenxi laughed out loud: "An Lan, are you still pretending? Your tricks are clear to your father, okay?"

Chu Anlan rolled his eyes: "Ye Chenxi, which side are you on?"

Ye Chenxi held his head high and said, "Of course I stand on my father's side."

"Stop gloating."

Ye Hongwei looked at his son and said, "Do you think you can escape? You must get up at 11:00 a.m. every day and do horse stance in the yard for half an hour. When you get home from school in the evening, go to the martial arts field to practice boxing and archery. You and An Lan must supervise each other. If one of you slacks off, both of you will be punished."

Ye Chenxi couldn't laugh anymore: "But I also have horse riding and archery classes in the Imperial College..."

"If you can learn something good in the Imperial College, would I give you extra lessons?" Ye Hongwei said coldly.

Ye Chenxi: “Woo woo…”

He shouldn't gloat over other people's misfortunes.
