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...
After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is indeed a good marriage, but I don't know if Zhao Rui is willing."
Zhao Yun said, "Yu Xihe has done me a favor. As my younger brother, he should repay the favor. He has no choice but to do so."
Gu Yan laughed. At this moment, he didn't care whether Zhao Rui was willing to be granted marriage. It was the best thing that His Highness didn't let Yu Xihe enter the Eastern Palace.
Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Why are you asking about Miss Yu's marriage for no reason?"
Gu Yan said, "I dare not hide it from you. Xiangye heard yesterday that the Empress was planning to let Miss Yu enter the Eastern Palace, so I came to inquire about it."
Zhao Yun snorted coldly, "That street woman, Yun Xiangye, doesn't know the rules, and you don't know the rules either? Can you just pry into the affairs of the East Palace's backyard?"
Gu Yan frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to say that about Xiangye. Xiangye originally wanted to see you and the Crown Princess get along harmoniously, so she boldly intervened in this matter."
Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yan, "If she really wants Wanhe and I to live in harmony, she should persuade Ye Wanhe to admit her mistake."
Gu Yan looked into Zhao Yun's eyes and said, "Xiang Ye does have this intention, but the one who should bow her head and admit her mistake is not the Crown Princess."
Zhao Yun angrily slammed the desk in front of him, "Gu Yan! Do you think I'm as cowardly as you, that I would bow down to a woman, endure scolding and beatings, and even dress up to entertain my wife? You are the Prince of Ning after all. If you are so afraid of your wife, wouldn't it be ridiculous to tell others about it?"
Gu Yan said, "I'm not afraid of my wife, nor am I a coward. A true man is not a coward, but he should be strong in front of his wife. You didn't even think of abolishing the position of Crown Princess when you were drugged and sold into slavery. This shows your feelings for Sister He. Why don't you admit your mistakes and restore her identity as Ye Wanhe? Sister He will definitely live a happy life with you from now on."
Zhao Yun said, "I am the Crown Prince! How can I allow a palace maid from the market to be my Crown Princess?"
Gu Yan said, "Then you should at least not prevent the father and daughter, the mother and daughter from seeing each other. It's a pity that the two elders have never been able to see their own grandson."
Zhao Yun glanced at Gu Yan angrily and said, "Gu Yan, are you too idle after being dismissed? You actually have the time to take care of this matter."
Gu Yan said, "Your Highness, if you felt you had done nothing wrong, you wouldn't have left the Crown Princess unpunished after she committed such a heinous crime... It's true that you are the high and mighty Crown Prince, but Sister He is also your Crown Princess, your wife."
Gu Yan, with the air of a man who had experienced it, advised: "If you know you are wrong but don't admit it, you will only regret it one day."
Zhao Yun said, "That day will never come."
Gu Yan said, "Alas, I'm glad you don't have the intention to abolish the Crown Princess. I'll take my leave now."
After Zhao Yun watched Gu Yan leave, he could no longer read the official documents and went straight to the bedroom.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Zhao Yun saw Ye Wanhe and little Yuer playing with a rattle.
After Zhao Yun entered, he signaled Bai He to carry Yu'er down.
When Ye Wanhe saw Zhao Yun, she retracted her smile.
Zhao Yun asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Ye Wanhe said calmly, "I ate it."
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "Are you not going to greet me from now on? You've been in the Eastern Palace for ten years, and this is the rule you've learned over the years?"
Ye Wanhe asked, "When Your Highness allowed Yu Xihe to call you Brother Yun, did you ever think about the rules of the Eastern Palace?"
Zhao Yun chuckled, "You really are jealous."
Ye Wanhe turned around and said, "I'm not jealous at all. I just think it's ridiculous that you only focus on my rules and let Miss Yu break them in the East Palace."
Zhao Yun went over and held Ye Wanhe's wrist and said, "She calls me Brother Yun because I adopted her as my sister. She is kind to me. She comes from a humble family. If you hadn't suggested that her father become the governor of Yuezhou, she would just be the daughter of a small county magistrate. I wouldn't have the time to teach her the rules."
And you are the Crown Princess, the one who will rule the country in the future. How can you abandon the rules?"
Ye Wanhe raised her eyes to look at Zhao Yun who was explaining a lot and said, "Since you don't have time to teach her the rules, you still have time to guide her in writing, and even smiled lightly, which was rare for her."
Zhao Yun was now certain that Ye Wanhe was jealous, and smiled, "I'm laughing because I remember the time when I taught you calligraphy. You clearly knew how to write, but you pretended you couldn't in front of me."
Ye Wanhe thought back to that time, she was not deliberately hiding her incompetence, but Zhao Yun was keen on teaching her calligraphy by holding her hand, so she pretended not to be able to write well.
After all, Zhao Yun had just eaten the marrow not long ago, and he was much more unrestrained than in the past two days.
When they were alone, he was willing to teach himself how to write, and Ye Wanhe was happy to cooperate. Besides, Zhao Yun's handwriting was indeed much more beautiful than hers.
Mr. Li was knowledgeable and talented, especially in arithmetic. However, his handwriting was hard to describe. Therefore, the handwriting of the sisters who studied in the school at that time was not very good.
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "After court tomorrow, I will take you out of the palace to a place."
Ye Wanhe asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Yun said, "You will know tomorrow."
Ye Wanhe frowned slightly. She didn't know what Zhao Yun was up to, but it was obvious that Zhao Yun looked like he no longer cared about the fact that she had drugged him, and wanted to pretend that nothing had happened.
This result is not bad for Yu'er. He will not be punished in any way and he will still be the crown prince.
However, she can only live as Wei Zhenzhu and cannot go back to being Ye Wanhe.
