Chapter 2065 - 2067
Ye Zi’an saw his calm demeanor and thought he must have a good understanding of his own abilities, so he didn’t say much more.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was June.
As the weather grew hotter, Yang Chuxia became increasingly worried about Yangyang. With June’s arrival, she hadn’t slept well for several consecutive nights. That child was afraid of the heat, and being outside in this weather, who knows how he’s coping. Every summer when he’s home, there’s always ice placed around the room and freshly made shaved ice each day. He loves to sit alone with a bowl, enjoying the cool breeze while eating in the pavilion come evening.
Who’s going to make him shaved ice while he’s out there?
"Don’t worry so much. I’ve received news that an old and a young person were seen in the Zhejiang area. Once I’ve dealt with matters here in the Capital City by the end of the month, I’ll head south to find Yangyang."
"Really? Then I’ll go with you."
"We’ll see when the time comes."
Ye Zi’an thought, there are several children at home, not everyone can go.
"Get up in a bit, and remember to prepare for Qingrui and Qingtong. Arrange something to eat, drink, and use. They’ll enter the examination hall tomorrow, and it’ll last three days, so you need to prepare enough food for those days."
The spring examination was delayed until the sixth day of June, initially set for mid-July by the Prime Minister’s group. Ye Zi’an suggested changing the date but was reprimanded by the Prime Minister.
In the end, it was Baili Yan who supported Ye Zi’an in setting the date for June, as early summer wasn’t too hot. A bit of ice in the small examination booth would make it more comfortable.
"In this weather, it’s really hard to prepare since food spoils easily."
"Pack more fruits," Ye Zi’an, with his experience, advised, "Prepare twists like peach pastries because they don’t spoil easily. Also, get some pills for diarrhea and colds, and take out the last two sets of imperial ink and brushes at home for them to use."
Ye Zi’an got up from the bed, dressing while instructing, "Oh yes, prepare some tea leaves for Qingtong, that kid has a history with this."
"Got it," Yang Chuxia felt touched as she listened. Brother An was putting so much effort into Qingrui and Qingtong as if they were his own brothers.
"And..." Ye Zi’an scratched his head, momentarily unable to recall everything, "In any case, start preparing, and I’ll check for anything missing after the morning court."
"Tsk tsk, he’s more worried than my dad would be."
Yang Chuxia leaned on the bed, laughing at him.
Ye Zi’an turned his head at her words. His fair arms looked striking against the bright red quilt, and most of his smooth shoulder was exposed. The gentle curves of her body were vaguely visible.
His gaze darkened, and he quickly stepped forward, yanking away the quilt to reveal her graceful figure.
"Wife, you’re quite naughty!" Ye Zi’an placed his hands on her soft skin and gave it a gentle squeeze, "Seducing me when you know I have to attend court, just wait for what I have in store for you tonight."
"Oh, go away!" Yang Chuxia gave him a shove, "Hurry to your morning court, or you’ll be late."
"Just a kiss, let me kiss you before I go."
Ye Zi’an said, pressing his lips to her moist red ones. He originally meant it as a peck but found himself unwilling to pull away.
It wasn’t until Li Wen asked from the side, "Is the Lord Marquis ready?" that Ye Zi’an snapped back to reality.
"Alas, what a pity!" He muttered while tidying his clothes, "I should’ve taken today off yesterday."
"You’re impossible, just go quickly. Keep asking for leave, and the Emperor might hold it against you."
