Yun Xiangye accidentally fell into a lake during a spring outing and was rescued by Gu Yan, a rich young master who was recuperating in Jiangnan.
To repay his great kindness, Yun Xiangye offe...
Chapter 249: A Rare Reunion Day
It was already early July when the ship arrived at Yongxing City.
It is the hottest time in Yongxing City, late summer and early autumn, when the autumn heat is the most severe.
The scorching sun seemed to burn people to a crisp.
Everyone stayed in the palace in Yongxing City for a while.
Yun Xiangye first took Nuonuo back to the Five Colors Embroidery Workshop, the place where she had lived for twenty years.
When several embroiderers saw Yun Xiangye returning, they were all very happy and greeted Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo.
After Yun Xiangye delivered the gifts she brought from Chang'an City one by one, she went to the backyard, where an old embroiderer who had worked in the embroidery room for many years now lived.
Occasionally I would help clean the main courtyard, so after two years, there haven't been any major changes here.
Nuonuo climbed onto the small swing in the backyard and said, "Mom, I remember this swing. I played here when I was a kid."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and touched Nuonuo's head, "You are still very young now."
Nuonuo said: "Nuonuo was younger then."
"elder sister."
Yun Xiangye heard a voice coming from behind. She turned around and saw that it was Yun Shuangbai who came. With tears in her eyes, Yun Xiangye opened her arms and hugged Shuangbai, "Sister."
"Sister." Shuang Bai was also in tears in Yun Xiangye's arms, "Sister, we finally meet again. I missed you so much."
Yun Xiangye looked at Shuang Bai with a smile and tears while wiping her tears and said, "But did Chen Lang bully you?"
Shuang Bai shook her head and said, "Chen Lang didn't bully me, it's just that I missed my sister too much."
Shuangbai looked at Nuonuo on the small swing, went over to pick Nuonuo up and said, "Oh, I can't hold Nuonuo anymore."
Little Nuonuo giggled in Shuangbai's arms and said, "Auntie, because Nuonuo has grown up."
Shuang Bai smiled gently and pinched Xiao Nuonuo's cheek, "Do you still remember your aunt?"
Nuonuo nodded, and wrapped her arms around Shuangbai's neck, "Remember auntie."
Shuang Bai smiled with great satisfaction. She looked at Yun Xiangye and asked, "Sister, where are you staying this time?"
Yun Xiangye said: "I live in the temporary palace of Yongxing City. After all, I am pregnant now, so it is more convenient to live in the temporary palace."
Shuang Bai looked down at Yun Xiangye's slightly bulging belly and said, "Why did your brother-in-law go to Lizhou to fight when you are pregnant?"
Yun Xiangye defended Gu Yan and said, "When he was going to Lizhou, he didn't know I was pregnant."
Shuang Bai said: "You are pregnant again, so you must take good care of yourself."
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Where is your brother Yuan?"
Shuang Bai chuckled and said, "I'm at home. Would you like to go with me to take a look?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Okay."
Yun Xiangye followed Shuang Bai to the Shen family. The Shen family was quite lively. Chen Qing and Zhu Ting also came back to Yongxing City with them.
As soon as Shen Qing got off the boat, she couldn't wait to come to the Shen family to see her two children.
Fortunately, nothing happened to the two children.
Yun Xiangye saw her sister Shuangbai's child and chuckled, "He looks quite similar to his cousin Nuonuo."
Xiao Nuonuo came closer to look at the baby and said, "Mother, is this my sister?"
Shuangbai gently touched Xiao Nuonuo's head and said, "It's not a sister, it's a brother."
Nuonuo couldn't help but feel disappointed and asked, "Why don't you have a younger sister?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Who knows, maybe the baby in mother's belly is my sister."
Xiao Nuonuo smiled sweetly, "Nuonuo wants a sister."
Frost White's mother-in-law, Madam Shen, smiled and said, "Xiang Ye, Frost White said that her brother-in-law is not ordinary. He was originally a noble in Chang'an City?"
Yun Xiangye did not hide it from her sister's mother-in-law, and chuckled and said, "Well, my husband is the eldest son of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Prince Ning."
Mrs. Shen smiled with sudden realization and said, “This is really fate!”
Yun Xiangye looked at Madam Shen in confusion: "What fate?"
Madam Shen smiled and said, “You had a connection with this Prince Ning when you were a child.”
Yun Xiangye said, "Aunt Shen, why don't I remember that he and I had a connection when we were young?"
Madam Shen laughed and said, "You were too young at that time. You were still living in the Yun family mansion next door. You didn't even have Shuangbai yet. Your mother couldn't get pregnant. Your aunt and uncle in the Yun family laughed at your mother.
When you heard these taunts, you went to the street to buy candied haws. When you saw a fair-skinned young man, you bought him candied haws to trick him into coming home to be your brother, and he really followed you home.
This memory is so old; it must have happened when she was five years old, and twenty years have passed since then.
I was very young at that time. Now when I think about it, my mother was scolded by my grandmother, and my grandparents wanted to find a concubine for my father so that he could have a younger brother.
At such a young age, I only knew that my mother was upset, and I saw a delicate little brother staring at my candied haws.
Yun Xiangye planned to bring him home to be her younger brother. Didn't her grandparents want her to have a younger brother? If she brought a younger brother home, her mother would probably not feel sad anymore.
Yun Xiangye had no idea what happened next. She only knew that her brother was gone when she woke up.
I heard from my mother that my brother's parents came to look for me, and warned me not to bring children home from the street anymore.
Yun Xiangye looked at Madam Shen and said, "Are you saying that the young man I brought home is my husband?"
Madam Shen smiled and said, "It was him. The Princess and Prince Duning were so worried that day. Later, they found out that you took the child away, so they went to your house to get the child back. I'm afraid you were still asleep at that time. The Shen family's mansion is close to the Yun family's mansion. It was the first time I saw such a big scene."
Yun Xiangye thought that she was too young at the time, so the elders did not punish her.
But speaking of it, Yun Xiangye now understood why her childhood rattle was with Gu Yan.
After she brought the young man back that day, she gave him all her toys, including the rattle. She also used the rattle to tease the young man.
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I still have some impression of it. Things in this world are really coincidental. The young man you brought home when you were young turned out to be your husband. No wonder he happened to see you falling into the water."
Yun Xiangye gently touched her belly and smiled softly. It seemed that she and Gu Yan were really destined to be together.
After talking for a while at the Shen family.
Yun Xiangye and Shuang Bai went to their uncle's house to visit their cousin, cousin's wife, and their two nephews.
As soon as Yun Xiangye and Shuang Bai entered their uncle's house, they saw the guards at the door.
When Shuang Bai saw so many guards, he said to Yun Xiangye, "Sister, are these the guards you found?"
Yun Xiangye remembered that Shuang Bai didn't know about Ye Wanhe yet, so she chuckled and said, "These are not the guards I found, but the guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Why would His Royal Highness's guards come to my uncle's house?"
Yun Xiangye smiled softly at her sister and said, "Because Sister Wanhe is now the Crown Princess."
Yun Shuangbai was surprised and asked, "Sister Wanhe is actually the Crown Princess? Sister, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "It's hard to explain in the letter for a while, let's go in first."
Yun Xiangye and Shuang Bai walked into the hall holding Nuonuo's hand. It was bustling inside.
Seeing Yun Xiangye coming, Ye's cousin's wife smiled and said, "Xiangye is back too. Oh, Nuonuo has grown so big. It's only been two years since we last met, and she's getting prettier and prettier."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Cousin, Nuonuo calls me aunt."
Xiao Nuonuo called her aunt obediently, and then went to play with her two cousins, Dashuang and Xiaoshuang.
Cousin Ye looked at Yun Xiangye, who was wearing loose clothes and had a slightly bulging belly, and said, "Are you getting fat, or is Nuonuo going to have a brother or sister?"
Yun Xiangye said: "It is Nuonuo who is going to have a brother or sister."
Cousin Ye invited Yun Xiangye and Shuangbai to sit down, then smiled and looked at Run'er beside Yun Xiangye and said, "Run'er, you should sit down too. It won't be long before we are a family. I have asked the kitchen to cook and ordered some dishes from the restaurant. We will have dinner at my house today. It's a rare day for us to be together."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "Okay."
