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...
"Your Highness."
Zhao Yun took the hot tea as usual. When he handed the cup back, he saw Ye Wanhe standing in front of him. He paused with his hand holding the cup and asked, "Why are you here?"
Ye Wanhe said, "Your Majesty, do you not want me to serve you? Then I will take my leave now."
Seeing Ye Wanhe's legs dangling, Zhao Yun reached out to take the tea tray from her hand and set it aside. He then reached out to grab Ye Wanhe's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Do you admit your mistake?"
"I know I was wrong."
Zhao Yun said, "It's good that you admit your mistakes."
Zhao Yun held Ye Wanhe beside him. Ye Wanhe was in great pain. Although she knew the rules, she could not bear the pain when it was so severe.
Zhao Yun noticed Ye Wanhe's expression and let her lie on him.
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun beneath her and whispered, "Your Highness, this is against the rules..."
Zhao Yun touched the strands of hair on Ye Wanhe's forehead and said, "In the Eastern Palace, I am the rule."
Ye Wanhe looked at the handsome face that was magnified so close to her, put her head on Zhao Yun's shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.
The bed beneath me was no longer stiff and cold. Finally, sleepiness overcame the pain and I slowly fell asleep.

There are only a few days left until New Year's Eve.
Yun Xiangye has been busy mending clothes for Princess Ningxiang these days.
It is very difficult to mend feather satin. This extremely luxurious material can only be used to make one piece of clothing every year. It can be imagined that this fabric is better than brocade.
In the world, only a few of the most noble women can afford to wear this gorgeous dress that is as warm as spring.
When Gu Yan returned from the government office, he saw Yun Xiangye still embroidering lotus root powder feather satin and said, "This is your new dress. I saw you have been working on it for two days."
Yun Xiangye said, "This is Princess Ningxiang's feather satin. There's a hole in it, so I'm helping her mend it."
Yun Xiangye worked tirelessly with her needle and sewing. The dress was extremely valuable, so the slightest mistake could affect the entire dress. She had to make the dress perfectly.
Gu Yan said, "Why would I let you mend Princess Ningxiang's clothes?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Princess Ningxiang said she wanted to wear the dress given by the Empress to the palace on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings. However, her child tore a hole in the dress, and my sister is injured and can't mend it. She wanted to come to the Princess's Mansion to ask Yin Liu to mend it, but I thought I could mend it, so I took on the job."
Gu Yan said, "Why bother taking on this job?"
Yun Xiangye whispered, "I've never mended feather satin before. It's so rare to find it outside. I've only heard embroiderers talk about this fabric being even more precious than brocade. Now that I can actually see it and mend it myself, I'm truly in a league of my own."
Yun Xiangye spent three days mending the feather satin dress. If you didn't look closely, you would never be able to tell where it was torn.
After finally mending the clothes, Yun Xiangye certainly didn't dare to keep this extremely precious dress in her room for a long time.
Not to mention others, I’m just afraid that Nuonuo’s clothes will get dirty because she’s too young.
Yun Xiangye didn't wait for Gu Yan to come back, and took the clothes to find Gu Jingyu, wanting Gu Jingyu to return the clothes to Princess Ningxiang.
Gu Jingyu said, "Sister Xiangxiang and her husband came to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year and are staying in the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Sister-in-law, you can go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to find Sister Xiangxiang."
Yun Xiangye coughed and said, "It's not convenient for me to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. This dress is really valuable. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to the maid. Could you please go there for me?"
Gu Jingyu said, "A few days ago, I heard my second aunt talking about wanting to see you. I'll accompany you to the Prince of Chu's mansion to return the dress."
