Chapter 197 Before a Long Journey
With a creak, the door was opened from the inside.

Chu Anlan wore a thin white undershirt and stood at the doorway, looking at him: "You're leaving so soon?"

Ye Chenxi stopped, turned around and asked, "Where's my sister?"

"Qing'er went to bed late last night and is still asleep." As he spoke, he bent down and stretched out his hand: "Chu Shiliu, come here, Daddy."

Yingxiang put the pomegranate down.

The little fox, with its hair combed fluffy and soft, ran happily into Chu Anlan's arms, chirping.

Ye Chenxi reminded unhappily: "Dad has already fed it before taking it out. It has gained a lot of weight recently, and the veterinarian said to feed it less. Also, Dad has hired a veterinarian. When you take Little Pomegranate out of Beijing, the veterinarian will accompany you."

"My father-in-law is very thoughtful." Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "You are almost late for school, why don't you leave?"

Ye Chenxi glared at him: "Humph!"

After glaring at the person, he left angrily.

"Tsk..." Chu Anlan hugged the little pomegranate and said, "Has my brother-in-law reached a rebellious stage recently? Why is his temper so bad? This prince is not in the capital. What if he gets beaten up in a sack?"

As he said this, he stroked Little Pomegranate's head hard.

The little pomegranate called out: "Ying..."

"You also think your uncle has a bad temper, right?" Chu Anlan smoothed Xiao Shiliu's furry ears.

Little Pomegranate began to lick his hand.

The maids were no longer surprised to hear him calling them "Daddy" and "Uncle" all the time, and they all went about their own work.

Ying Xiang asked, "Is the prince going to get up?"

Chu Anlan then raised his head and said, "No, let someone tell the prince and princess that they can have breakfast today by themselves."

As he said this, he threw the small pomegranate to Mo Yan who was standing silently beside him: "Take my daughter to the martial arts field for a few laps, and then take her to the scale. If she loses 1 or 2 pounds, I'll reward her with a bunch of grapes. If she doesn't lose weight, I won't allow her to eat chicken anymore."

Lose a few pounds and get a bunch of grapes as a reward?
Mo Yan's face was full of doubt: "Prince, are you sure you still want to feed Little Pomegranate grapes? Grapes are so sweet, won't he get fatter if he feeds them?"

Chu Anlan laughed angrily: "Why don't you just wait here? I'll find a veterinarian to teach me first, and then I'll come back and tell you when I've finished my training, okay?"

Mo Yan said sternly: "I will take Xiao Shiliu to do weight loss training immediately."

Chu Anlan waved.

After Mo Yan left, he pretended to be sleepy, yawned, and said lazily: "Don't sweep, go have breakfast, don't disturb my sleep."

The attendants withdrew very tactfully.

Ying Xiang was about to leave when Chu Anlan stopped her and said, "Leave two people waiting outside the courtyard and boil some hot water."

Ying Xiang lowered her head: "I understand."

The servants who had not yet left the courtyard, upon hearing the prince's words, all smiled secretly.

Chu Anlan put one hand on his waist and urged loudly: "What are you laughing at? Run faster! Close the gate..."

Chu Anlan has been thick-skinned since he was a child. He does things without restraint and is not afraid of being laughed at by outsiders.

For example, the door of a room would be closed for half a day.

Finally, he asked someone to bring hot water into the room.

Ye Wanqing was almost embarrassed to see people.

Fortunately, this is the last day of indulgence before leaving Beijing.

……

After getting up at noon, Chu Anlan changed into a rare black outfit, and asked Mo Yan and Liu Ying to accompany him to the restaurant to keep the appointment.

Before leaving, he took a box from the shelf by the window, put it on the table, and asked Ye Wanqing to come over and take a look.

"What is this?" Ye Wanqing looked at him.

Chu Anlan opened the box and said, "What's in here are some silver ingots and small change that I casually threw in here." After saying that, he shook it vigorously.

It sounds like a lot.

Chu Anlan said: "I don't have the habit of saving money. I spend whatever I have, so I don't have much savings. The previous savings were all used to buy flowers.

I will give this to Chu Shaozhen and the others. After Prince Duan is convicted of treason, if Chu Xiaoyan survives, I will ask them to find a way to give the money to Chu Xiaoyan. He has been a prince for more than ten years, living a life of luxury. How can he survive the rest of his life without some money?"

He muttered as he counted the silver.

For some reason, Ye Wanqing was moved by what she heard.

Perhaps it is because the friendship among young people is always pure and passionate.

Ye Wanqing turned around, took a box from a cabinet by the window, took out a thick stack of silver bills from it, and put them into Chu Anlan's box.

Chu Anlan was surprised: "Qing'er, what are you doing?"

Ye Wanqing said gently, "You are the only one who is allowed to worry about Chu Xiaoyan not being able to survive, but I am not allowed to worry about Fu Yu going hungry? Give all this money to them and tell them that you hope he will treat Fu Yu well. She loves beauty, likes rouge and powder, likes pretty skirts, and also likes to eat all kinds of delicious meat and cakes. Also tell Fu Yu that no matter what the future holds, she must not mistreat herself or let herself down."

Chu Anlan took note of Ye Wanqing's words and went out with the cash box.

When he came back drunk at night, his eyes were red: "I don't know if I can see Chu Xiaoyan when I come back. And Chu Shaozhen, Chu Shengxi and others...

This bunch of good-for-nothings, apart from eating, drinking and having fun, can't do anything else. They are stupid and have bad tempers, making them the easiest to be tricked.

What if someone's father rebels again and a group of people are arrested and chopped to pieces? "

Ye Wanqing coaxed him for a long time: "As long as they don't take the initiative to interfere, Prince Duan's affairs probably won't involve them. Besides, no one will rebel. Prince, you are tired, I will call someone in to help you wash up."

Chu Anlan hugged her from behind, mumbling with a hint of alcohol: "But I still can't bear to leave them..."

Ye Wanqing tilted her head and spoke softly, "If the prince can't bear to leave them, then why don't we leave Beijing? After autumn, it will be in time for us to return to the Imperial Academy to study."

study?

He had finally dropped out of school, how could he possibly go back?
Isn't this going to cost him his life?

Chu Anlan immediately stood up straight, holding his forehead, looking dizzy: "Ah, my head is so dizzy, where am I? Chu Shaozhen, come and drink! Where's the wine? Bring it up to this prince. I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight."

As he spoke, he staggered towards the bed.

Ye Wanqing's lips twitched, and she reminded him, "The sheets and quilts are new. If you lie down on them while reeking of alcohol, I will sleep next door tonight."

Chu Anlan paused.

Ye Wanqing asked, "The bathroom has hot water ready. Shall I call Mo Yan over and help you take a bath?"

Chu Anlan turned around: "Bathe, take a bath..."

Mo Yan helped and dragged the person away.

After bathing, two servants carried him back.

Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, Chu Anlan was exceptionally quiet the whole night and slept without moving until dawn.

The next day, there was a family dinner.

Chu Yanrong felt sorry for her daughter going on a long journey, so she had someone make some arrangements early. She also prepared Ye Wanqing's favorite dishes and asked the kitchen to make mooncakes in advance.

As soon as she entered the door, Ye Wanqing was pulled aside by her mother and talked for two hours.

Chu Anlan was called away by Ye Hongwei.

The palace was bustling for half a day.

It was after nightfall that the carriage left the Princess's Mansion.

Before parting, Chu Yanrong's eyes were red, and she reminded again: "When you go out, remember to take good care of yourself. If you encounter any problems, go to the local officials.

No matter where you go, remember to send a letter home every ten days."
