Seeing this, Aunt Yun smiled softly at Yun Xiangye and said, "I think Nuonuo's father has sincerely admitted his mistakes. It's hard for him, a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, to be so humble to you. It shows that he is not hopeless. Give him another chance and live a good life with him."

Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "Aunt."

Aunt Yun patted Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "There are very few men in this world who are as willing to admit their mistakes as Father Nuonuo."

Yun Xiangye naturally knew that Gu Yan was actually a good man compared to other men in the world, especially since there were many men in Chang'an who had concubines and maids.

But, just because he is better than other men does not mean he is good.

Although Gu Yan would not take a concubine or a maid, this was not his intention, but was due to the strict family rules.

Yun Xiangye didn't want her aunt to worry about her, so she stood up and said, "Aunt, I'm going back to the embroidery workshop first."

Yun Xiangye stood up, bowed, and then turned and left.

Gu Yan was not in a hurry to chase Yun Xiangye. Instead, he said to Aunt Yun, "Aunt, if there is anything I can help you with with my cousin's wedding, please let me know."

Aunt Yun smiled and said, "Thank you for being so thoughtful."

Gu Yan said, "It's all family business. Besides, my cousin has helped my mother a lot. I'll take my leave now."

Aunt Yun stood up to see Gu Yan off, but Gu Yan hurriedly said, "Aunt, you don't have to see me off. Nuonuo, say goodbye to your great aunt."

Xiao Nuonuo said in a baby voice, "Goodbye."

Aunt Yun didn't get up and continued to see Gu Yan off. She looked at the backs of Gu Yan and Nuonuo as they left, and said to Su Zhan, "This Prince Ning seems to be a good person. Xiangye's temper...ah."

Su Zhan said, "Mother, my sister has always been independent-minded. You don't have to worry about her marriage. We just need to help her."

In front of Su's Dental Clinic.

Gu Yan held Nuonuo in his arms and quickly caught up with the carriage that was about to depart.

When Yun Xiangye saw Gu Yan enter, she glared at him and said, "Don't think I'll forgive you just because you try to please my aunt."

Gu Yan said, "I don't expect you to forgive me right now. After all, I've kept this a secret from you for three years. I know your resentment towards me won't be erased in a short time."

Yun Xiangye said, "It's enough for you to know."

Gu Yan looked at Nuonuo in his arms and said, "But you have to give me a chance to make it up to you."

Yun Xiangye said nothing.

The carriage stopped at the side door of the embroidery workshop. Yun Xiangye got off the carriage and took Nuonuo from Gu Yan's arms. She said to Gu Yan, "You should go back!"

Gu Yan looked at Xiao Nuonuo: "Nuonuo wants daddy to stay, right?"

Yun Xiangye said to Nuonuo, "Nuonuo, do you want daddy or rice cakes?"

"Rice cake!" Xiao Nuonuo's eyes lit up, and she didn't feel any difficulty in making the choice.

Gu Yan: “…”

Yun Xiangye smiled and pinched Nuonuo's cheek, then said to Gu Yan, "No one welcomes you here, you should leave."

Gu Yan also knew that he might not be able to stay in the embroidery workshop today, but he was not in a hurry. After all, Yun Xiangye's temper was soft-hearted and would not tolerate toughness.

On April 20th, the Wei Mansion was bustling with two happy events in succession.

In the embroidery workshop, Yun Xiangye heard the embroiderer talking about the lively atmosphere of the Wei family. Wei Xi was getting married, with a ten-mile-long red wedding dress, and the Prince of Chu personally came to welcome her. The couple was talented and beautiful, and everyone in the entire Chang'an City was envious of them.

There was also the marriage of Wei Qian, the prince of Weiguo, to Princess Xiwan, which was also a grand affair.

However, this time the Wei family had two happy events, but no one from the Princess's Mansion and the Gu family went to the Wei family and the Prince of Chu's Mansion to attend the wedding banquets, which caused a lot of speculation.

After all, the eldest princess is the biological aunt of the Prince of Chu. The fact that an biological aunt does not attend her nephew's wedding makes people suspicious behind her back.

Yun Xiangye listened to the embroiderer telling the rumors in Chang'an City, but she didn't care much. At that time, Lady Yan, the wife of Duke Weiguo, said such things about the Princess and Prince Ning in the Princess's Mansion, so the Princess's Mansion would naturally stop having any contact with the Wei family.

"Wei Yu is so lucky! The Duke's legitimate daughter is married to the Crown Prince of Chu as his consort. When the Crown Prince of Chu inherits the throne, she will be the envied princess."

"I heard that when Wei Xi got married this time, her family gave her a dowry that stretched for ten miles. Her wedding was almost as grand as a princess's. It was so magnificent."

"The Crown Prince of Chu is also very lucky. Wei Xi is the niece of the Empress. With relatives of the Wei family around, his future will definitely be even brighter."

Yun Xiangye was embroidering flowers on the side and no longer listened to Wei Xi's news.

--

In Fengyi Palace.

Queen Wei accepted the tea offered by Wei Xi with a smile. She looked at the shy Wei Xi and said, "You must live a good life with Jing'er in the future and be a good wife to Jing'er."

"Yes, aunt." Wei Xi replied shyly.

Queen Wei then looked at Zhao Jing who was beside Wei Wei and said, "Jing'er, you must treat Wei Wei well in the future."

Zhao Jing said with a cold face: "Yes, Imperial Aunt."

Queen Wei took out a brocade box from the side and said, "This is the Guanyin of Childbirth. This is a wedding gift from me to you two. I wish you two a son soon."

Wei Yu bowed shyly and said, "Thank you, aunt."

Outside the palace gate, Zhao Yun and Ye Wanhe came hand in hand and saluted together, saying, "Mother."

Wei Yu looked at the clasped hands of Zhao Yun and Ye Wanhe, and could not help but frown, but she had to bow and say, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "Sister, please don't be polite. We are a family and there is no need for formalities."

Wei Xi despised Ye Wanhe very much in her heart. She was not a family member to Ye Wanhe. She was just a slave who took advantage of her son's status to occupy the position of the eldest daughter of the Wei family, and even called her sister.

Zhao Jing bowed and said, "Auntie, we will take our leave first."

Queen Wei nodded gently, and after seeing Zhao Jing and Wei Xi leave, she said, "Yun'er, quickly help Wan He to a seat."

Zhao Yun smiled faintly and said, "Mother, you are too cautious."

Queen Wei said, "Your father and I have been looking forward to your child for a long time. We cannot afford any mishaps."

After taking her seat, Ye Wanhe smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, mother."

Queen Wei said, "You are already four months pregnant. It's time to ask the imperial physician to see if the baby is a boy or a girl."

Ye Wanhe gently stroked her slightly bulging abdomen and said, "Jingyu took my pulse and said it's a boy."

Queen Wei clasped her hands together and said, "May God have mercy on us. Royal blood is very rare these days. It would be great if the baby you are carrying is a boy. You must be very careful."

Ye Wanhe nodded lightly and said, "Well, don't worry, mother. I will take good care of the baby in your belly."

Zhao Yun lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Wanhe, his eyes full of anticipation. He was looking forward to the birth of his and Ye Wanhe's child so that the family of three could live happily.

Queen Wei said, "This child should be born in October. It will be late autumn and early winter then. After the hot summer, your confinement won't be tiring. This child is very considerate."

Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "Yes, this child is very considerate."

Zhao Yun said, "There are still six months left..."

Ye Wanhe thought to herself, yes, I still need to pretend to be nice for another six months...

Queen Wei said, "Six months is not a long time."
