On a summer night, Yun Xiangye came out of the bathroom and let Gu Yan wipe her long hair.

Gu Yan whispered beside him, "Come back to the Princess's Mansion with me, okay? After all, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and we can be reunited as a family."

Yun Xiangye turned to look at Gu Yan and said, "How can we be considered a family?"

"You...haven't you forgiven me?"

Yun Xiangye looked into Gu Yan's eyes and said, "Well, I'm not angry with you anymore, but I don't want to be your wife anymore. Being your wife is too tiring. I don't want everyone to say that I'm not worthy of you. I don't want to be ridiculed for marrying above my station in the future..."

Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Which woman in this world wouldn't marry above her station if she married me? Even those princesses and cousins ​​from the Zhao family would be marrying above their station if they married me."

Yun Xiangye looked into Gu Yan's eyes. Gu Yan was not exaggerating. Yes, his mother was the eldest princess, and his father was the emperor's most trusted right-hand man.

The current emperor is his uncle, and the current queen is his cousin. Apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who else has a more noble status than Gu Yan?

Gu Yan said, "You don't have to resent me for what others say. I will never let anyone bully or humiliate you again. It's just that sometimes people have their mouths on their backs, and we can't punish them for just a few words. It makes us look petty. Why should we bother with those gossipers?"

"I'm not talking about you, so naturally you won't be so petty." Yun Xiangye said, "After all, it's fine now. It's fine for you and me not to be husband and wife..."

Gu Yan said, "Not getting married? Then did you promise to give Nuonuo a brother or sister?"

"Isn't that possible? If we don't get married, any brothers and sisters born will take my surname Yun." Yun Xiangye said, "What's wrong with that?"

Gu Yan didn't dare to persuade Yun Xiangye anymore, fearing that the opportunity to stay in the embroidery workshop that he had finally obtained would be lost because of his own wrong words.

Gu Yan embraced Yun Xiangye in his arms, chuckled, and said, "Then I will work hard to expand your Yun family..."

On summer nights, the croaking of frogs and the chirping of insects never cease.

When Yun Xiangye woke up, it was already bright outside and Gu Yan was no longer around.

But Yinliu and the others are still here.

Yun Xiangye looked at Yin Liu and said, "You two should go back to the princess's residence..."

After all, Yinliu is a female official in the palace, and the small embroidery workshop has wronged them.

Yin Liu smiled faintly and said, "Miss Yun, we were originally sent here by Her Royal Highness the Princess to serve you and the young princess. If you don't want us, I'm afraid we won't even be able to return to the Princess's Mansion."

After hearing what Yin Liu said, Yun Xiangye didn't chase them away. "My sleeping place in the embroidery workshop is not as good as the princess's mansion."

Yin Liu said, "Thank you for your concern for us, young lady. We are used to sleeping in the small room, so it's okay."

Yun Xiangye smiled lightly when she heard this.

The Chinese Valentine's Day is coming in a few days. Gu Yan went out for a walk yesterday and this morning came to the Five Colors Embroidery Workshop to customize clothes worth a lot of money. He also bought a lot of ready-made clothes to wear on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Yun Xiangye was naturally happy to see the business getting better and better. The Yun family's Five-Color Embroidery Workshop was now becoming more and more famous in Chang'an City.

It won’t be difficult to gain a foothold and expand your business in the future.

Perhaps, the embroidery workshop can be opened in the best location on Zhuque Street.

After a busy day, Yun Xiangye returned to the bedroom and found Gu Yan playing with Nuonuo.

When Gu Yan saw Yun Xiangye enter, he stared at her intently.

Yun Xiangye said, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Gu Yan said, "That brat Zhao Rui went around spreading the news that I was wearing colorful clothes to entertain my wife. So good of him that he just ran away from Chang'an."

Yun Xiangye couldn't help but smile when she thought of Gu Yan parading around in women's clothes yesterday.

Gu Yan said, "I have completely lost face in Chang'an City. I'm afraid I won't be able to face people again in the future."

Yun Xiangye said, "You deserve to have to endure this."

Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "So you have to make it up to me. This year on Chinese Valentine's Day, don't bring Nuonuo with you. Just you and I will go out and play together."

When Xiao Nuonuo, who was standing beside her, heard that they were not taking her with them, she opened her eyes wide and said, "No! Take the baby!"

Yun Xiangye picked up little Nuonuo and said, "Of course I'll take Nuonuo with me to play."

Gu Yan frowned and said, "There will always be a chance to bring Nuonuo with you in the future. There are many fun things to do in Chang'an during the Qixi Festival, the daughter's festival. Why don't you bring Nuonuo with you?"

Yun Xiangye hugged Nuonuo and said, "If there's something fun, we should definitely bring Nuonuo along."

Little Nuonuo threw herself into Yun Xiangye's arms, "Mom is good, Dad is not good."

Yun Xiangye chuckled.

July 7th is also a lively day in the palace. It is the Girls' Day for Begging for Skills. The Empress orders people to prepare some Begging for Skills competitions in the Shanggong Bureau, and also orders people to arrange some Begging for Skills activities outside the palace, so that the people can have fun together.

Ye Wanhe in the Eastern Palace was in the study, accompanying Zhao Yun to look at official documents.

Zhao Yun was very satisfied with Ye Wanhe beside him. Since she became the Crown Princess, she seemed to be more considerate and more willing to stick to him than before.

Ye Wanhe's eyes were all on the official documents.

"Why are you staring at my hands?"

Ye Wanhe listened to Zhao Yun's words and said, "Today is the Qiqiao Festival. I remember that in previous years, during the Qiqiao Festival, the palace maids would thread needles and pray to the Weaver Girl to grant them ingenuity.

She also recalled the time when she was a child in Yongxing City, when she, Sister Yun, and her good friend Chen Qing went to the embroidery workshop in Sister Yun’s home to pray for skill.

I've been in Chang'an for so long, but I've never seen the Qiqiao Festival outside the Imperial Palace."

Zhao Yun said, "After nightfall, I will take you out to see the excitement. After all, you won't be able to go out until the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's better to see the excitement of Qixi Festival first."
