Chapter 128 Is She So Good?
The Seventh Prince walked around the room and nodded, "Very good. I suddenly feel that the lighting in my study is poor and the furnishings are old. How about I put a desk here?"
Ye Youlan crossed her arms and said, "Stop, no, if you sit there, you'll be as beautiful as a painting and it will distract me from my work."
Li Zhi and Xiaomei couldn't help laughing. The princess was so good at talking. She could reject others without making them find fault with her.
The Seventh Prince's eyes tilted slightly, Xiaomei and Li Zhi retreated tactfully and closed the door considerately. A barely perceptible smile appeared on the Seventh Prince's face.
The Seventh Prince walked towards Ye Youlan and hugged her: "I can't bear to be separated from you."
Ye Youlan patted his back and gently advised: "You can't be too clingy, keep a proper distance."
The Seventh Prince let go of Ye Youlan and looked at her aggrievedly: "Other women would like men to be around them every day, why do you still despise me?"
Ye Youlan poked the Seventh Prince with her finger: "No matter if you are a man or a woman, you can't be obsessed with love. You need to have your own things to do. I don't dislike you. On the contrary, I am greedy. I want not only love but also a career."
Ye Youlan pulled the Seventh Prince to sit on the couch and poured him a cup of tea: "After you finish your work next door, we can sit here and drink tea and chat, or push open the sliding door and look at the scenery outside, which is also very pleasant."
The Seventh Prince knew that what she said made sense, and she always had reasons to convince herself.
"Then I have something to tell you now."
The Seventh Prince told Ye Youlan what he had found out about Li Zong, then looked at her cautiously and asked tentatively, "Do you think Li Zong and Ren Yue are having an affair?"
Ye Youlan clapped her hands fiercely: "There's definitely something wrong. I was wondering why it was so strange. Now that you put it that way, everything makes sense."
Ye Youlan also brought up the doubts that the sisters had discovered earlier: "Why did Lan Zhi go to Ren Yue? Why did Ren Yue suddenly become so close to Yu Rou? These are all questions. Only that idiot Qin Yu Rou, whose house was robbed, still treats her as Ren Yue's best friend."
"But Ren Yue is eight years older than Li Zong!"
"What's wrong with being eight years old? Some women are beautiful and rich, and the men they find can be considered their sons. Men are allowed to find women who are much younger than them, but women are not allowed to find younger men? Of course, it's her freedom to find any age of man, but being a mistress or a second wife is against public order and morality, and it's immoral."
"What does Xiaosan and Xiaosi mean?"
"For example, Li Zong and Qin Yurou are husband and wife, and Lanzhi is the third party, the mistress. Ren Yue also comes in, so she is the fourth mistress. Maybe there will be a fifth or sixth mistress in the future."
Ye Youlan asked the Seventh Prince what he planned to do. Since he had investigated, he would definitely consider it.
"These are all private matters within the mansion. As long as they are not threatening, I will turn a blind eye. As a prince, I am not interested in his dirty deeds. I am afraid that you will worry about Yu Rou."
Ye Youlan sighed, "It's not our place to get involved in this matter. If we go and tell Qin Yurou that your husband has a woman outside, and she doesn't want to divorce, she'll still have to live a miserable life. It's better for her not to know anything now. Or maybe she already knows but is just pretending not to know, deceiving herself. Why should we expose it?"
"Logically speaking, Qin Yurou isn't stupid, so how could she not know? But judging by how she interacts with Ren Yue, it seems she knows nothing."
Ye Youlan sneered: "A woman who is deeply in love has zero IQ. Also, Qin Yurou doesn't like Li Zong as much as I imagined. Without love, there is no hate, so she won't care."
The Seventh Prince raised his eyelids, a hint of doubt flashing in his stern eyes: "After being with me, you have become smarter and smarter. Does this mean that you are not someone who is deeply in love?"
Ye Youlan laughed: "How come your train of thought always leads me to it? Well, to prove that I am deeply in love and deeply captivated by the prince's charm, from today onwards my IQ will disappear for three days."
The Seventh Prince had a smile in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to her IQ disappearing!
Li Zhi knocked on the door outside and said that the emperor wanted to invite him into the palace.
"Why did the Emperor suddenly come to see me?"
The Seventh Prince stood up, and Ye Youlan held his hand: "Prince, there are many beauties in the palace, you have to be careful!"
Ye Youlan's voice was sweet and mellow. The Seventh Prince wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it back. Li Zhi outside was trembling all over. He couldn't bear it and just wanted to escape.
The Emperor discussed some trivial matters with the Seventh Prince in the Imperial Study, especially the promotion of Li Zong. He felt somewhat helpless: "My mother is very stubborn. I don't know how the Li family father and son have managed to please my mother, making her always protect them. I have received a lot of reports in the past few days.
The prince laughed, "Then why did the emperor agree to this? Was it just because of filial piety?"
The Emperor seemed to have read his mind. "My Queen Mother, remembering that Li Zong begged me in the name of Yilan's son, I couldn't refuse. Although I have promoted him, it is only in name only. It will be very difficult to appease those ministers who are remonstrating with me, so I have asked you to do this."
The Seventh Prince agreed and said that he would think of a solution, but he reminded the Emperor not to be too indulgent towards his mother and that the harem should not interfere in internal affairs.
The emperor was very happy to see that he agreed and wanted to keep him in the palace for dinner. The Seventh Prince said he wanted to go back to have dinner with Youlan.
The emperor stared at the Seventh Prince's face. He didn't expect that his previously cold-blooded brother had changed so much.
"Is Ye Youlan really that good?"
When mentioning Ye Youlan, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but smile. The Emperor didn't need to listen to his reasons anymore and told him to go back quickly and bring some snacks that Ye Youlan liked.
When the Seventh Prince returned home, Ye Youlan came out to greet him: "The Prince is back!" Her voice was filled with joy.
The Seventh Prince held Ye Youlan's hand and said, "It's so hot, there's no need to come out to pick me up."
"Yes, you should. Your Highness has been working hard outside. Take a hot bath quickly. Tonight's dinner will be all your favorites."
The Seventh Prince looked at Ye Youlan, who was staring at him with starry eyes. He smiled and said, "You've gone too far. Return to normal quickly."
Ye Youlan shook her head: "Three days!"
While eating, Ye Youlan held her chin and looked at the Seventh Prince: "My prince looks so handsome even when he eats."
Xiaomei was stunned to the side, wondering whether she should leave or stay. She winked at the princess, but Ye Youlan pretended not to see and continued, "Your Highness, I'll give you a massage later. I guarantee you'll have a good sleep. Also, I ordered lychee fragrance and brewed snow mist tea today. If you're thirsty later, I'll pour it for you."
Xiaomei couldn't stand it anymore. She picked up an empty plate on the table and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to get some more."
The Seventh Prince put down his chopsticks and said, "No need, just clear all of this away!"
