After the beginning of the dog days, the weather became hotter and hotter, and Yun Huangye felt more and more sleepy.

While embroidering clothes, she was always yawning and very sleepy.

Yun Xiangye only became more cheerful after hearing the embroiderers chatting about the rumors in Chang'an City.

"The Prince of Chu and Miss Wei Er are truly in love and in perfect harmony. This year, the weather is particularly hot, and ice is incredibly expensive. I heard that the Prince of Chu even bought a thousand taels worth of ice to help Miss Wei Er cool down."

Yun Xiangye asked in surprise, "Is ice very expensive this year?"

The embroiderer said, "Yes, the ice isn't thick enough this winter. Summer came early, and the weather is very hot. Ice is very expensive, especially a whole block of ice, which costs almost a penny."

Yun Xiangye looked at the ice cubes in the embroidery room. Gu Yan delivered cartloads of ice cubes, but Yun Xiangye never asked about the money.

After all, when she was in Jiangnan, she had an ice cellar at home. She would go there to buy food in the winter, and it was enough for her in the summer.

In this case, the ice Gu Yan sent was worth nearly several hundred taels of silver.

Yun Xiangye originally believed that she would not miss out on taking advantage of Gu Yan's bargains, and ice cubes were not a rare commodity. Now that she knew the price, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"The Prince of Chu even bought a set of red coral headpieces for Miss Wei Er. At the Wei family's banquet a while ago, Miss Wei Er's outfit was so stunning that no one could help but admire her."

"The second young lady of the Wei family is blessed."

Yun Xiangye was embroidering clothes when she saw Run'er rushing over. "Miss, Wei Xi has come to our embroidery workshop."

Yun Xiangye couldn't help but chuckle. Speak of the devil, he's here. "She's here, so why are you so flustered?"

Run'er whispered, "That Wei Xi obviously came with bad intentions. She's extremely picky about our clothes. Many rich ladies stopped buying clothes after hearing what she said."

Yun Xiangye arrived at the clothing shop nearby. The sun was strong today, but it was almost dusk and no longer as hot as at noon.

Inside, Wei Yu was very picky about the clothes handed to her by the maid.

"The waist of this dress is so wide, and the moonflower embroidery on it is so stingy..."

Yun Xiangye listened to Wei Xi's words and said, "Yue Jianhua is not stingy. This dress is mainly eggplant green, which is an extremely rare dye. Miss Fu Anran also has this dress. It looks very noble and elegant when she wears it, and it makes her look even more beautiful. Princess of Chu, you will definitely be more elegant when you wear this dress."

When Wei Xi saw Yun Xiangye coming out, she wanted to see sadness and loneliness on Yun Xiangye's face and the look of a resentful woman after being abandoned by Gu Yan, but there was none at all.

Yun Xiangye had a faint smile on her face, without any of the self-pity of a woman in the boudoir.

The hatred in Wei Xi's eyes gradually surged into her heart. Why could Yun Xiangye still live so comfortably after the divorce?

And she...

Ever since getting married, I have been living alone in my empty room.

She could only live by spreading rumors about how much her husband loved her.

Wei Xi said, "The Five Colors Embroidery Workshop that's famous in Chang'an these days is no better than this. Even if you give me silver for free, I will never wear clothes like this."

Yun Xiangye stared at Wei Xi for a while. Wei Xi saw the scrutinizing look in Yun Xiangye's eyes and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yun Xiangye whispered, "Wei Xi, you may not be pretty, but you think you are beautiful. Your appearance is not enough for me to give you money to buy clothes."

Wei Yu angrily slammed the table and shouted, "Yun Xiangye! How dare you contradict this Crown Prince's Consort? Come, slap her in the face."

"Miss." Run'er walked up to Yun Xiangye and stood in front of her.

When Yun Xiangye saw Wei Xi's maid about to slap Run'er in the face, she grabbed her wrist and frowned, "How have I ever offended you, Princess Consort of the Prince of Chu? You're truly not pretty enough. I'd rather pay you to wear clothes from my embroidery workshop. Do you think you're as beautiful as a fairy?"

Wei Yu frowned and looked at Yun Xiangye, saying, "You! How dare you speak to this Crown Prince's consort like that? Today, this Crown Prince will definitely teach you a lesson for not knowing your place in society!"

The other rich girls who were buying clothes nearby looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this scene.

Yun Xiangye chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Run'er, go report to the prefect of Chang'an and tell the authorities that the Crown Prince's Consort of Chu was going to punish me because I said she wasn't pretty enough..."

Wei Xi angrily asked, "Yun Xiangye! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yun Xiangye continued to smile and said, "I wasn't talking nonsense at all. There are so many outsiders in the embroidery workshop today who can witness it."

Wei Yu looked at the people in the embroidery workshop and said coldly, "Just wait!"

After Wei Xi finished speaking, she left with her subordinates in a mighty manner.

Yun Xiangye frowned slightly. This Wei Xi was indeed difficult to deal with. She had already divorced Gu Yan. Why did Wei Xi come to her embroidery workshop to cause trouble today?

However, Yun Xiangye was not afraid of Wei Xi, because she was doing the right thing after all.

--

In late June, a loud thunder broke through the sky.

Nuonuo hadn't fallen asleep yet. When she heard the thunder, she was so frightened that she quickly hid in Yun Xiangye's arms, crying, "I'm scared."

Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "Don't be afraid, Nuonuo. Mother is here."

After all, she became her own parent.

Yun Xiangye touched Nuonuo's little head.

When the thunderstorm stopped, Run'er hurriedly led a wet Ye Zhimiao into the house.

Seeing Ye Zhimiao in such a state of disarray, Yun Xiangye hurriedly asked, "Miaomiao, why did you come out in the rain?"

Ye Zhimiao said, "Sister, someone came to our cloth shop to cause trouble, saying that they had rashes after wearing our cloth. So a group of people came and smashed our cloth shop. All the silk that my father had just bought for more than 2,000 taels of silver was thrown into the rain by them..."
