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...
Gu Yan stared at Yun Xiangye and said, "It depends on what thank you gift you are willing to give."
Yun Xiangye was too lazy to waste time talking to Gu Yan, so she walked over and took Nuonuo from Gu Yan's arms. "It's a shame not to see my sister off to get married, but the thought is there. The wedding is tomorrow, and Chang'an is under martial law today. Censor Gu should return home as soon as possible."
But Nuonuo in Gu Yan's arms did not look at Yun Xiangye's hand that was about to hug her.
Xiao Nuonuo only looked at Gu Yan with her peach blossom eyes: "Daddy, I want daddy."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiangye did not force Nuonuo to return to his arms.
Gu Yan raised his eyes to look at Yun Xiangye and said, "Since Nuonuo can't leave me, if you let me sleep in your room for one night, it will be your thank you gift."
Yun Xiangye shouted angrily, "Gu Yan, you and I are already divorced!"
She knew that Gu Yan had no good intentions.
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "This is the thank you gift I want. Let me sleep with you for one night..."
Before Gu Yan could finish his words, Yun Xiangye looked at him with eyes wide open and asked, "Gu Yan, what do you take me for?"
Yun Xiangye looked at Nuonuo in Gu Yan's arms, and finally took a deep breath and said, "Since Nuonuo misses you, you can take her back to the Princess's Mansion and send her back tomorrow morning."
After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she turned around and entered the side door of the embroidery workshop.
Gu Yan carried Nuonuo and followed, but what he encountered was a layer of dust behind the closed door.
It can be seen how powerful Yunxiangye's closing force is.
Xiao Nuonuo looked at Gu Yan and said, "I'm scared."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "Yun Xiangye, don't you even care about your daughter?"
Yun Xiangye inside the door was extremely angry. Gu Yan was so infuriating. He actually treated her like a prostitute in a brothel!
The little Nuonuo outside the door looked at Gu Yan and said, "Daddy, ride a horse."
Gu Yan whispered to Xiao Nuonuo, "I can't take you horseback riding right now. I'll take you horseback riding in a couple of days when Daddy is free."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nuonuo got down from Gu Yan's arms and knocked on the door calling for her mother.
"Mother."
"Mother."
Yun Xiangye, who had not walked far, heard Xiao Nuonuo knocking on the door, so she turned around, opened the door, and held Xiao Nuonuo in her arms.
Little Nuonuo, in Yun Xiangye's arms, said sweetly, "Mother."
Yun Xiangye hugged Nuonuo tightly in his arms and closed the courtyard door heavily again.
Gu Yan outside the door frowned and took a deep breath. He had not had a full night's sleep since Yun Xiangye left.
I thought I could use the threat of accompanying Ye Wanhe to get married to get a good night's sleep, but I didn't expect that Yun Xiangye seemed to be even more annoyed with me.
Gu Yan sighed and left.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be getting married tomorrow, so today he went to pay homage to the royal ancestors, and most of the clan members went to the ancestral temple.
When Gu Yan returned to the Princess's residence, he saw his mother and aunt returning, accompanied by Zhao Rui.
Gu Yan looked at Zhao Rui unkindly. Zhao Rui didn't dare to look at Gu Yan's fierce gaze. He lowered his head and called out, "Cousin."
Gu Yan also knew that Yun Xiangye insisted on getting a divorce, and it was not Zhao Rui's fault. However, if Zhao Rui had not set up some gambling, Yun Xiangye would have stayed for a while longer and would not have been so determined to leave.
Zhao Rui was frightened by Gu Yan's gaze. He hurriedly said, "Brother, dear brother, I have a way to make my cousin's wife change her mind about you and come back to be the Prince of Ning's consort."
Gu Yan looked at Zhao Rui and asked, "What do you have in mind?"
Zhao Rui said, "Just leave it to me. I will definitely find a way to change my cousin's wife's mind."
Gu Yan glared at Zhao Rui coldly and said, "Don't cause trouble for me."
Zhao Rui chuckled and said, "I'll just make my cousin's wife change her mind, how could I cause any trouble?"
--
There was a bustling atmosphere in the Danqing Courtyard of the Wei Mansion.
Gu Jingyu, Princess Nan'an, Lin Bolan and Fu Qianran will be the bridesmaids who will accompany Ye Wanhe to her wedding tomorrow.
Because they had to come to pick up the bride before noon tomorrow morning, the four of them were staying together in the Wei Mansion today.
Gu Jingyu took good care of Ye Wanhe. After all, she was pregnant, and she was afraid of any accidents, so she had to stay by Ye Wanhe's side and observe her expression at all times.
Seeing Ye Wanhe's low mood, Gu Jingyu whispered to her, "Sister, you will become the Crown Princess of Dasheng tomorrow. What are you unhappy about? You are in a good health now, so you should be in a good mood."
Ye Wanhe chuckled, "Indeed, I will be the Crown Princess tomorrow. I never thought I could become the Crown Princess with my status..."
After losing her first child, she didn't even dream of having a legitimate status. The only thing she wanted was to leave the palace and regain her freedom.
Ye Wanhe looked out the window. It was the auspicious time for married women to worship their ancestors. She was going to worship the ancestors of the Wei family.
How could Ye Wanhe be truly happy?
But now she can only endure it for now.
Ye Wanhe changed her clothes and, accompanied by Gu Jingyu and others, entered the Wei family's ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors of the Wei family. Standing in the Wei family's ancestral hall, Ye Wanhe's father and mother's tearful eyes flashed before her.
Fortunately, as the Crown Princess now, she does not need to kneel, she only needs to bow.
After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Ye Wanhe was helped to take a bath. She didn't sleep for more than two hours and had to get up to dress up.
The Crown Princess's makeup was very complicated, and even with more than ten palace maids serving her, it still took quite a while.
After putting on layer upon layer of complicated and grand wedding dress, Ye Wanhe hid the purse beside her in her sleeves.
As she heard the sound of firecrackers and ceremonial music outside, she knew that the wedding procession was coming.
In fact, the prince does not need to personally welcome the bride, he can just send a ceremonial officer to welcome her. Ye Wanhe doesn't know who the ceremonial officer who came to welcome the bride today is.
