Chapter 265 Don’t Call Me Prince

"Heavy rain is good." Chu Anlan said, "These locusts haven't grown up yet. It would be better if the raindrops were heavier to kill all the locusts."

Ye Wanqing smiled: "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better."

However, if the rain is too heavy, I am afraid that most of the ditches we just dug today will be ruined...

The raindrops became much denser.

Ye Wanqing took back his hand and ordered, "Hurry up and get going, otherwise it will be difficult to walk if the rain gets heavy.

Keep the torches burning and don’t let them go out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of rain coming closer and closer.

The attendant exclaimed outside the carriage: "It's raining hard!"

Lightning is like a silver snake, illuminating the night.

Thunder explosions sounded one after another above our heads.

The horses pulling the cart neighed and trotted anxiously.

In the wind and rain, the light of the torch became smaller and smaller.

Almost the moment they stepped onto the main road into the city, heavy rain came down like a bucket, not only extinguishing the torches, but also soaking everyone outside the carriage.

Only with the help of lightning can I barely see the way forward.

There were also many farmers running on the road.

When they returned home, the group was in a very miserable state.

Even inside the carriage, a lot of rain water got into it.

Ye Wanqing, whose skirt was mostly wet, was helped out of the carriage by Chu Anlan, who was soaked all over.

The housekeeper hurriedly welcomed them in: "The prince, the princess, and the eldest son are finally back.

The ginger soup in the pot is almost boiled dry."

"It's raining so hard, hasn't my second brother come back yet?" Ye Chenxi asked.

The housekeeper said, "The eldest son sent someone back to get his clothes and told me that he would not be back tonight.

Tonight, he and the other adults will stay at the inn."

Posthouse?

Ye Wanqing looked towards the rain and said: "The facilities at the inn are complete, so I don't need to worry about food and accommodation.

Everyone has worked hard today. Those who have been caught in the rain should take a hot bath, drink a bowl of ginger soup, and rest early.

Tomorrow, you don’t have to get up early. ”

The attendants cheered: "Thank you, my lord!"

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Let's all go take a shower and change clothes."

The place was empty very quickly.

Ye Wanqing looked at Yingxiang and Qianxi who were already soaked to the skin and said, "You don't have to stand guard tonight. Take a bath and rest early."

Ying Xiang said: "If the princess needs anything, she can wake us up."

Ye Wanqing nodded.

Ye Chenxi wiped the water off his face, wrinkled his fair face, and said pitifully: "Sister..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chu Anlan knew what he was going to do.

Chu Anlan interrupted him and said, "It's raining so hard. If you're afraid to sleep alone, go sleep with Gu Chen."

"What if he dislikes me?" Ye Chenxi asked.

"Then you can just cry, make a fuss, and then hang yourself." Chu Anlan suggested.

Ye Chenxi suddenly realized: "I understand!"

Half an hour later, Ye Chenxi knocked on the door sobbing: "Sister, wuwu..."

Chu Anlan was wearing a loose coat, with wet hair, and he casually picked up an oil-paper umbrella to open the door: "What are you doing?"

The heavy rain had not yet stopped, and the ends of his hair, which had just been half dried, began to drip water.

Ye Chenxi held the small jade pillow she brought from the capital and looked at him pitifully: "It's thundering, I'm scared..."

Chu Anlan was happy: "Didn't you go to find Gu Chen?"

"I went to look for him." Ye Chenxi explained: "Doctor Gu said that he was not used to having other living things around him when he slept, so he politely asked me to leave."

"How polite?" Chu Anlan asked.

Ye Chenxi hugged his little jade pillow tightly: "Although he left my quilt in his yard, he returned the pillow to me."

Chu Anlan: “…”

Chu Anlan said with a sigh: "Gu Chen is such a good person."

Ye Chenxi asked: "So, can I sleep in the room next to you and my sister?
If there is thunder all the time, I will be very scared...”

Chu Anlan was about to refuse when he saw Ye Wanqing standing at the door of the room, looking at the courtyard gate from afar through the rain. Chu Anlan snorted, "Come in."

Ye Chenxi squeezed in holding a small pillow.

Hearing the noise in the yard, Yingxiang and Qianxi got up again, brought hot water, and took a dry towel to wipe Ye Chenxi's hair.

Ying Xiang asked, "Sir, are you going to stay in this courtyard tonight?"

"Yes, yes!" Ye Chenxi nodded vigorously: "It keeps thundering, I'm scared to sleep alone!"

The two maids had no choice but to make the bed in the empty room next door.

Ye Chenxi followed with the small jade pillow in his arms.

Before leaving, Chu Anlan said, "If you are scared, take Shi Liu over and sleep with you."

Ye Chenxi couldn't ask for more: "Okay, okay!"

So, little Pomegranate, who was sleeping soundly on the couch, was picked up by Ye Chenxi and carried away with a confused look on his face.

Before closing the door, Chu Anlan gnashed his teeth secretly: "Sleep well, and don't come to disturb me and Qing'er unless you have something to do."

Ye Chenxi held the little pomegranate: "Oh."

"Oh?" Chu Anlan raised his voice.

Ye Chenxi pursed his lips and said, "I know. Don't worry. I have Xiao Shiliu with me. I won't disturb you and your sister.

If it hadn't been for the thunder and I wasn't in a strange place, I wouldn't have been so scared."

Chu Anlan snorted softly.

Ye Chenxi carried Little Pomegranate into the next room.

"At night, if you have any problem, you can call me and Qianxi."

"Little Pomegranate occasionally gets up at night to drink water or take a walk. If there is any movement, you don't have to be afraid, young master."

"This house is very new, there are really no ghosts."

"..."

Sakuraka and Chihiro's voices became quieter and quieter.

Chu Anlan closed the door.

Feeling uneasy, he locked the door from the inside again, and then walked to the bed: "Why didn't I feel that Ye Chenxi was so clingy and delicate before?"

Squeamish?

Ye Wanqing softened her brows and said, "Since I was very young, I was often sent to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, so my mother spoiled him a little. Leaving the familiar capital city, and encountering a thunderstorm, he is timid and can't help but be afraid."

Suddenly, it went dark in front of my eyes.

As soon as Ye Wanqing raised her eyes, her cheek was pinched.

Chu Anlan gently pinched her soft and smooth cheek: "Why are you in a daze? Are you sleepy? I haven't finished talking yet."

Ye Wanqing turned around and said, "Sir, please speak."

Chu Anlan lowered his lips slightly and muttered, "You always like to call me 'Prince'.

Besides, you are always very polite to me...

Sometimes, I don’t even feel like I’m your husband, but more like someone you take care of, just like Ye Chenxi.”

He is not happy.

Ye Wanqing was speechless: "The prince was the husband I fought hard for against all odds.

Since the day I chose the Crown Prince, I have regarded him as my lifelong support.

I have never thought of treating the prince as someone else."

Instead of being coaxed, Chu Anlan became even more unhappy: "Look, you called me 'Prince' again."

Ye Wanqing laughed helplessly: "It's my fault, I just said it casually, I always like to call you like before.

An Lan, can you please stop being angry? "

An Lan...

Her voice was light and gentle, and it was very touching when she called his name.

Chu Anlan felt his heart tremble: "Call me again and I'll hear you."

Ye Wanqing readily followed suit: "An Lan."

Chu Anlan tried to hold back, but couldn't help it, and smiled brightly: "Scream again."

Ye Wanqing had no choice but to patiently accompany him in making trouble: "An Lan."

He looked up at the closed window.

Outside the window, it's raining heavily.

Ye Wanqing grabbed the dry towel she was using to wipe her hair and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
