Yun Xiangye, while boating on a spring day, lost her footing and fell into the lake. She was rescued by Gu Yan, a wealthy young master who was recuperating in Jiangnan.
To repay his great kin...
Ye Wanhe was stunned when she heard Zhao Yun's words. The pervasive smell of alcohol made her want to vomit. She could only say, "Your Highness is drunk. I will make you some hangover medicine."
Zhao Yun said drunkenly, "Wanhe, I want you to be the Crown Princess."
"I want you to be my wife."
Ye Wanhe just smiled and didn't take his drunken words to heart. She got up and made some hangover medicine for Zhao Yun.
The weather today is particularly hot and humid, as if it is going to rain heavily.
When Ye Wanhe smelled the hangover remedy, she felt nauseous and it took her a while to calm down. She took the hangover remedy and went into the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Zhao Yun was already fast asleep.
Ye Wanhe didn't dare to wake Zhao Yun up, so she just put the hangover medicine aside. She looked at Zhao Yun's sleeping eyes, which looked very similar to Su Zhan's.
Ye Wanhe still remembered the first time she met Zhao Yun. At that time, she had just entered the palace and did not know the nobleman.
When Ye Wanhe accidentally entered an abandoned palace and saw Zhao Yun feeding a little cat, she thought he was a young eunuch.
After all, he didn't bring any palace maids or guards with him at that time.
At that time, Zhao Yun was like a child in her eyes. Even though the eleven-year-old crown prince was majestic, he was only eleven and not as frightening as he is now.
At that time, Zhao Yun would cry because of the scolding from His Majesty, and after being scratched by the little cat slave, he would secretly hide the little cat slave who should have been executed in an abandoned palace and feed and take care of him.
When Ye Wanhe saw Zhao Yun for the first time, she felt that his features vaguely resembled Su Zhan, so she went over to teach him how to feed the little cat slave.
When he was too busy to take care of the little cat, she would go and feed it.
Later, the little cat slave escaped from the abandoned palace and went to an unknown place. Ye Wanhe never saw Zhao Yun again.
The next day, His Highness Zhao Yun was going to live in the Eastern Palace, and the Empress chose herself as the palace maid for Zhao Yun.
At that time, Ye Wanhe was fifteen years old and Zhao Yun was thirteen years old.
It was then that Ye Wanhe realized that the child who fed the cat was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the thirteen-year-old Crown Prince was no longer the child who had felt pity for the cat.
Not long after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the Eastern Palace, he executed many palace maids and eunuchs who had no control over their words.
At that time, Ye Wanhe knew what imperial power was. She dared not disobey any of Zhao Yun's orders again. She took good care of him by his side, for fear that if she made him unhappy, she would die in the palace and never see her parents again.
She has been in the Eastern Palace for exactly ten years.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was becoming more and more majestic like a future emperor, his temperament was becoming more and more difficult to understand, and he was also becoming more and more difficult to serve.
Life is only twenty-five years long, but she and Zhao Yun have been together day and night for a full ten years.
We have been sleeping in the same bed for six years.
When it was time to leave, Ye Wanhe did not feel the slightest bit reluctant, but only looked forward to leaving smoothly and regaining her freedom, without having to worry every day about losing her life.
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun and fell asleep unknowingly.
When I woke up again, it was already the end of the Yin hour. It was dark outside, and Zhao Yun beside me was shouting in a hoarse voice for water.
Ye Wanhe hurriedly stood up and brought the hangover medicine that was warmed beside her to Zhao Yun. "Your Highness, this is a hangover medicine."
Zhao Yun took the hangover medicine and drank it all, but his head still hurt badly.
Seeing this, Ye Wanhe pressed his temple and said, "Your Highness, why did you drink so much yesterday? It's too harmful to your health."
Zhao Yun closed his eyes and said, "I didn't know that aged daughter's red wine was so intoxicating."
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness should drink less in the future. Your health is more important."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly as he recalled his drunken thoughts and asked, "Did I say anything when I was drunk last night?"
Ye Wanhe shook her head and said, "Your Highness didn't say anything."
Zhao Yun glanced at Ye Wanhe and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay as long as you didn't say anything."
Ye Wanhe lowered her eyes. Fortunately, she didn't care at all about Zhao Yun's nonsense about asking her to be the Crown Princess.
I also knew that Zhao Yun was drunk last night and didn't take it seriously.
How could Zhao Yun, when he was sober, allow a woman whom he felt from the bottom of his heart was of humble origin to be the Crown Princess?
--
Spring is here and the flowers are blooming, and the days are getting warmer.
Everyone took off their winter clothes and put on spring clothes.
After Nuonuo changed into thin spring clothes, she suddenly became much more lively and agile.
With the arrival of Qingming Festival, Yun Xiangye missed home even more.
This year she cannot visit her parents' graves. Her sister is pregnant, and her uncle and aunt have come to Chang'an, so they cannot visit her parents' graves either.
I wonder if my brother-in-law will take the trouble to visit my parents’ graves and pay homage to them?
Thinking of this, Yun Xiangye thought of going to the temple to worship on his behalf.
Seeing Gu Yan coming back from outside, Yun Xiangye said to him, "The Qingming Festival is coming in a few days. I want to go to the temple to burn paper and worship my parents."
Gu Yan said, "Okay, I'll accompany you to the temple in two days to burn paper and offer sacrifices. Your Majesty will also take the clan members to the imperial mausoleum to sweep the tomb and offer sacrifices to the late emperor the day after tomorrow. You should prepare, and we will also offer sacrifices together in the mansion."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly as she listened to Gu Yan's words and said, "If I hadn't told you about the memorial service, would you have waited until the day after tomorrow to tell me we were going to the imperial mausoleum to visit the graves?"
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye's expression and asked, "What are you angry about?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Why should I be angry? We're going to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage, so there must be a lot of rules. You didn't tell me a few days in advance. Were you expecting me to make a fool of myself when I got there?"
Gu Yan said: "There aren't many rules. Just kneel and bow."
