Prince Ning also came to celebrate the birthday today, but the princess he brought back from the small town in the south of the Yangtze River was still nowhere to be seen.

Many people thought that Prince Ning had rejected the marriage proposal of the second daughter of the Fu family, one of the most beautiful women in Chang'an City. Now, the prince's wife from a small family in Jiangnan must be very beautiful to marry Prince Ning as a merchant girl.

Some people outside said that Prince Ning's Consort was incredibly beautiful, while others said that they had seen her in Chu Jing Pavilion and that she looked plain.

But most people have never seen it, and the less they have seen it, the more they talk about it.

Wei Yu looked at Gu Jingyu and asked, "How come Yun is still ill after all these days? She hasn't even come to celebrate Madam Fu's birthday?"

Gu Jingyu whispered, "Sister-in-law has recovered from her illness, but my brother doesn't allow her to come to the Fu family."

Wei Xi chuckled. A woman like Yun Xiangye, who was not presentable enough, was not worthy of coming to the Fu family to embarrass herself. It seemed that her cousin Yan had also begun to dislike Yun Xiangye. She was just waiting for Yun Xiangye to be divorced.

Zhao Jing saw his sister staring at Gu Yan and said, "Nan'an, just give up on wanting to be Gu Yan's wife. Gu Yan already has a wife and a daughter."

Princess Nan'an said, "I know I should give up on Cousin Yan, but..."

Princess Nan'an looked at Zhao Jing. Judging from her brother's appearance, she didn't know that Yun Xiangye, whom he had been thinking about so much, had become his cousin.

Princess Nan'an sighed. She didn't know how to tell her brother that Yun Xiangye was already married and had become her cousin's wife.

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and Princess Nan'an thought it would be better to wait until after the New Year to bring up this matter. After all, it's better not to create unnecessary complications during the New Year.

Zhao Jing looked at Princess Nan'an and asked, "Just what? Are you hiding something from me?"

Princess Nan'an shook her head and said, "It's okay, brother. I just don't think you should hang yourself on that Yunxiangye tree. Look at the second daughter of the Fu family, Fu Anran. She's so beautiful. If I were a man, I would definitely want to marry her..."

Zhao Jing frowned slightly and said, "Fu Anran is prettier than Xiangye, but I only love Xiangye."

Princess Nan'an looked up at Zhao Jing and sighed in her heart.

Fu Anran, the second young lady of the Fu family, distributed birthday peaches to the distinguished guests in the inner room.

Fu Anran walked up to Gu Yan and said, "My Lord, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you?"

Gu Yan took the birthday peach that Fu Anran handed over and said, "Your birthday peach is so delicately made, it looks like a real peach. Nuonuo will probably like it very much, she loves peaches the most."

Fu Anran asked softly, "Who is Nuonuo?"

Gu Yan smiled gently, "My little daughter who is less than two years old."

Fu Anran's smile froze as he asked, "Why isn't the Crown Prince's daughter here today?"

Gu Yan said: "My wife is ill, so I didn't come to celebrate Mrs. Fu's birthday. I will bring her to visit you another day when she recovers."

Fu Anran couldn't maintain the smile on her face anymore when she heard Gu Yan calling her Madam over and over again.

Fu Anran said, "Okay, I'll wait to see the Crown Prince's wife's beauty. The Crown Prince's wife's beauty should be one of the most beautiful in the world, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't be worthy of the Crown Prince's attention."

Fu Anran had already found out that Yun was plain-looking. Fu Anran said this to let Gu Yan understand that the appearance of the wife he always talked about was not presentable at all.

I want Gu Yan to regret rejecting her proposal. He didn't marry such a beautiful woman like her and married an ordinary-looking woman. Gu Yan must be extremely regretful!

Gu Yan said: "Well, my wife is the most beautiful woman besides my mother."

Fu Anran frowned. Everything she heard said that Yun Xiangye could only be considered a beauty.

How could Gu Yan say that Yun was the most beautiful woman besides his mother?

Fu Anran looked into Gu Yan's eyes and asked, "Is the Crown Prince's wife more beautiful than me?"

The music and ceremony came to an abrupt end, and the banquet hall was completely silent.

Fu Anran's question was heard by everyone in the room, and all the guests looked at Gu Yan.
