The Ye family had dinner very early today.

When Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan arrived, they smelled a fragrance.

Before Yun Xiangye even entered, she said, "It's a coincidence that I came today. I can smell the aroma of smoked fish from a distance. I haven't eaten smoked fish in a long time."

Yun Xiangye entered the dining hall and saw the person sitting in the main seat. She almost thought she was seeing things.

Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand tightly and saluted, "Your Highness."

Yun Xiangye also lowered her head and said softly, "Your Highness."

Xiao Nuonuo, who was following behind Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan, poked her head out and walked over to Aunt Ye. "Grandma, is the smoked fish delicious?"

Ye Wanhe, who was beside Aunt Ye, chuckled and held Xiao Nuonuo in her arms. She chuckled and took a piece of smoked fish, took out the fish meat and fed it to Xiao Nuonuo, saying lovingly, "You are such a greedy little cat."

Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye and said, "Since you've arrived at the right time, let's sit down and have dinner together."

Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye's hand and sat down, and the palace maid beside them asked the maid of the Ye family to bring the dishes and chopsticks.

After Yun Xiangye sat down, she faced the smoked fish that she loved very much, but she didn't dare to pick it up. It was Gu Yan who helped her get a piece of smoked fish.

Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taken something wrong? He's actually dining at the Ye family, the one he despises the most."

Gu Yan signaled Yun Xiangye with his eyes to enjoy his meal peacefully.

With Zhao Yun around, no one dared to say anything at the dinner table. Only Nuonuo, like a newborn calf fearless of a tiger, pestered Ye Wanhe to eat smoked fish again.

Ye Li clenched his hands and said, "Dad, Mom, my sister and His Highness are here today. I want to tell you something. Actually, I should have told you this a long time ago, but last year..."

Ye Li glanced at Zhao Yun, coughed, and said, "Dad, Mom, I have someone I like and want to get married."

Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "That's a good thing. You're almost eighteen. Which girl do you like?"

Ye Li looked at Run'er who was taking care of Nuonuo behind her and said, "It's Run'er."

Ye Yuan and his aunt Ye were quite satisfied when they heard that it was Run'er. Although Run'er was Yun Xiangye's maid, she grew up under their watch. This little girl was even Yun Xiangye's sister.

"No."

Zhao Yun said coldly, "Since you want to enter the officialdom, why do you marry a little maid?"

Yun Xiangye said: "Run'er is my sister, not my maid."

Besides, what right did Zhao Yun have to interfere in Ye Li's marriage? Zhao Yun didn't consider the Ye family as his in-laws.

Yun Xiangye only dared to complain about this in her heart.

Ye Wanhe chuckled and looked at Run'er behind Nuonuo and said, "Run'er, what do you think?"

Run'er looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "I only listen to my daughter."

Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "This is undoubtedly a good marriage. We should get married by the end of this year."

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, but seeing that Ye Wanhe agreed, he didn't say anything more.

Ye Yuan smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Li'er, get married and start a career. After you get married, you must start a career as soon as possible."

Ye Li responded, "Yes, Daddy."

When Gu Yan heard the word "Li Ye", he looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, in Lizhou..."

Zhao Yun said, "You can't go to Lizhou. Something must have happened there. It's very dangerous. My mother has already fallen seriously ill because of me and hasn't recovered yet. If something happens to you again, she will be very sad."

Yun Xiangye looked at the desire in Gu Yan's eyes, and a layer of guilt rose in her heart again.

Gu Yan wanted to go to Lizhou in order to return to the court.

After the meal, Zhao Yun took Ye Wanhe away.

Although Ye Wanhe was very reluctant to leave, she knew that it was almost dusk and had to return to the palace.

Seeing her tearful mother seeing her off at the door, Ye Wanhe said, "Mom, I'll have the chance to leave the palace and come see you someday..."

When Aunt Ye saw Zhao Yun helping Ye Wanhe into the carriage, she smiled and waved goodbye to Ye Wanhe.

After the carriage left.

Yun Xiangye finally dared to ask Gu Yan, "Did His Highness take the wrong medicine? How could he allow my sister to come to the Ye family?"

Gu Yan smiled. It was a pity that His Highness had even called him a coward and henpecked wife. Wasn't he the same? Today, he had even allowed the Ye family to sit at the same table with him, disregarding his etiquette and rules. Even though Zhao Yun had been frowning during the meal earlier, he hadn't eaten much.

Gu Yan said, "As the saying goes, a dying man's words are often kind. He has been lying in the coffin for nearly a month. I guess he must have devoted himself to doing good."

Yun Xiangye smiled after hearing what Gu Yan said, "I have to go back and prepare Run'er's dowry."

Gu Yan said: "It's better to take care of our marriage first."

Yun Xiangye asked, "Do you really want to get married again?"

Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, do you remember last year during the Lantern Festival when we went to Luoyang and met a fortune teller who said you would have a second marriage?"

"You still remember the words of the street warlock."

Gu Yan said, "But the sorcerer said that my sister is a phoenix, so she really will become the Crown Princess... I can't help but believe it. Besides, I already owe you a wedding ceremony, and I already owe you the three letters and six ceremonies."

Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "If you don't mind the trouble, then it's up to you."

--

The end of March is the time when spring is at its best.

In the East Palace, flowers were in full bloom and the scenery was picturesque. Ye Wanhe, who was feeling sleepy during the spring, did not wake up until almost noon.

Last night, Ye Wanhe didn't know when Zhao Yun finally let her go. Zhao Yun said he didn't care, but he still wanted to eat back the "meat" he hadn't eaten in the past six months, with interest...
