Chapter 192 Why Don’t I Carry You On My Back

Chu Anlan patted his shoulder and said, "Think positively. At least I am here with you now. When Qing'er and I leave Beijing to travel, it won't be too late for you to cry alone."

Ye Chenxi cried even louder.

Chu Anlan burst into laughter: "Chen Xi, you really made me laugh to death."

Ye Chenxi complained: "Sister, look at him!"

The corners of Ye Wanqing's lips twitched.

At this time, Ye Hongwei said with a straight face: "Man, why are you crying like that? If you two are free, come with me to the martial arts field. I have someone build a new plum blossom pile, you two can go up and try to see if it fits. If not, we can adjust it."

Plum blossom pile?
Chu Anlan immediately became interested: "Let's go!"

Ye Chenxi was pushed out unwillingly.

Seeing this, Chu Yanrong called her daughter and said, "Qing'er, let's go sit by the lake and talk."

Ye Wanqing stood up and helped her mother: "Let's go."

The group walked towards the artificial lake in the palace.

It rained last night and the weather is a little gloomy today. The lake breeze blowing on my face is cool and very comfortable.

Ye Wanqing helped her mother to sit down in the pavilion and poured her a cup of tea.

Chu Yanrong took the teacup and looked at her daughter opposite her with gentle eyes: "Are you used to living in the palace?"

"I'm used to it." Ye Wanqing nodded. "The maids and guards I brought with me are the ones serving me. The chefs in the palace cook the food that suits my taste. The prince and princess treat me very well. The princess said that they will not hand over the power of the household to me for the time being, and told me to enjoy the good times while I am still young and wait until I return from my study tour.

Mother, although I am married, I am no different from before I got married. You and father don’t have to worry about me.”

Chu Yanrong held her daughter's hand and said, "Knowing that you are doing well, your father and I are relieved. The prince and princess are both good-tempered people. I think they will always treat you well. The only uncertainty is An Lan..."

After saying this, he looked worried.

Ye Wanqing held her mother's hand and said slowly, "Don't worry, mother. The prince treats me very well. I have never doubted his sincerity towards me. Besides, with my father, mother and brother backing me up, he dare not treat me badly.

Also, mother, I am a princess appointed by the emperor and the queen mother, and I have my own fief. No matter what, I will not let myself down. "

Chu Yanrong relaxed her brows and said, "Yes, our Qing'er is a princess with a fiefdom. She can live comfortably without having to look at other people's faces."

Ye Wanqing moved forward: "By the way, mother, the prince has planted many roses, and they are blooming very well. I will make some flower tea and send it to you some other day..."

Near noon, after a gust of wind, dark clouds gradually covered the sky.

In the martial arts field, Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi were still chasing and playing on the plum blossom pile, while Ye Hongwei went to see his pony.

It looks like it will rain in the afternoon.

Just as the housekeeper came to ask where to have lunch, a blue-gray figure walked along the lake embankment.

Ye Wanqing looked up casually: "Second brother?"

Chu Yanrong also followed her gaze and looked over, a little surprised: "You're back so soon?"

Over at the martial arts arena, Ye Chenxi shouted and waved: "Chen Ting!"

Ye Chenting walked into the pavilion: "Mother, Qing'er."

Chu Yanrong asked: "Have you seen the prince?"

Ye Chenting shook his head: "The one who asked me to go to the Dali Temple today was not the crown prince, but Lu Jilian, who was in charge of the case of Prince Duan's rebellion."

really.

Chu Yanrong asked, "Did he ever embarrass you?"

"No." Ye Chenting said, "After all, Xiaoyan and Fuyu had frequently been in and out of the Princess's Mansion before, so they had to call us over to go through the motions and make it public, so as to stop the gossips."

"I see." The eldest princess nodded.

Ye Chenting looked at Ye Wanqing again: "Qing'er, after you go to the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother and the Queen tomorrow, you also need to go to the Dali Temple."

"Me?" Ye Wanqing frowned.

Ye Chenting nodded: "Don't worry, there will be officials from the Dali Temple accompanying you."

I hope so.

Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan stayed in the Princess's Mansion for a whole day.

After dinner, the two returned to the palace. Chu Anlan sat cross-legged in the carriage, resting his head on Ye Wanqing's legs: "Tomorrow, I don't want you to go to the Dali Temple."

Ye Wanqing said patiently, "If I don't go, others will wonder if I knew in advance that Prince Duan was planning a rebellion. Then, the two governments will be implicated. You may be summoned to the Dali Temple for questioning. If you are unlucky, you may even be imprisoned in the Dali Temple."

"I'm not afraid of going to jail." Chu Anlan sat up: "But when I think about you being questioned by Lu Jilian, I feel as if I were bitten by ants all over my body."

Ye Wanqing said, "My second brother said that there will be people from the Dali Temple nearby, so I won't be alone with Lu Jilian."

"That's all." Chu Anlan sat up straight: "I'm not such a petty person, I just simply don't like Lu Jilian."

Ye Wanqing laughed: "Then, will the prince accompany me tomorrow?"

"Of course!" Chu Anlan said sternly, "I'll be guarding you outside the Dali Temple! If Lu Jilian dares to mess around, I'll beat him to a pulp."

……

The next day.

It started to rain lightly in Beijing.

Before daybreak, Princess Dun sent someone to urge them to come.

Chu Anlan still lingered in bed for a long time. Only after Ye Wanqing finished putting on makeup did he get up, wash and change his clothes.

As daylight approached, the carriage drove towards the palace gate.

Because of Prince Duan's incident, the palace was strictly guarded inside and outside, and no carriages were allowed to park on the street outside the palace gate. Therefore, the carriages of officials going to court were all parked on the long street next door.

Before reaching the palace gate, servants came to stop the carriage.

Chu Anlan jumped off the carriage, turned around to help Ye Wanqing, and complained as he walked: "It's a long way from here to the palace gate.

I think all the officials in the court hated Prince Duan to death.

It's raining and wet. If you walk this far, your shoes and skirt will get dirty. Such beautiful shoes and skirt...why don't I carry you on my back?"

Carry it on your back?
Ye Wanqing held up the hem of her skirt with one hand and said, "At this hour, the officials have already left the palace. It would be impolite if they saw us."

"Who cares about etiquette?" Chu Anlan rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's raining and the road is hard to walk on. It's only natural for me to carry my princess on my back. Come on, come on, get on my back."

As he spoke, he half bent over and turned his back to Ye Wanqing.

Behind them, the servants came over with umbrellas, shielding the two men tightly.

Ye Wanqing refused gently: "My shoes and skirt are wet, but I can still change them. I can really walk by myself."

"Qing'er, are you afraid that I can't carry you?" Chu Anlan turned his head and asked, "Do you think I'm not tall enough or strong enough?"

"No." Ye Wanqing shook her head.

Chu Anlan frowned: "Then you..."

"boom!"

A muffled sound was heard from the long street behind me.

Then, someone cried out in pain: "Ouch, it hurts so much..."

Everyone turned their heads.

I saw a rickshaw driver from an unknown family on the street slipping and falling heavily to the ground. Not only was he covered in mud, but he was also grimacing in pain.

The people around him were shocked and hurried to help him: "Are you okay?"

The man opened his mouth: "It hurts..."

Teeth and blood foam flew out together.

Seeing this, passers-by couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft..."

Before he could finish laughing, he stumbled and fell on his butt with a dull, heavy thud.

"boom!"

There was quite a bit of movement.

A bunch of people gathered around and helped the man up.

As a result, the man howled in pain.
