Aunt Gu Yan chuckled and took out a brocade box and handed it to Yun Xiangye. "It's our first time meeting you. This is a gift for Xiao Nuonuo. I hope you don't mind it."

Yun Xiangye said, "Thank you, aunt."

Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye to another couple, "Aunt, Uncle."

Yun Xiangye raised her eyes and looked at the couple in front of her. She said calmly, "Aunt, Uncle."

Aunt Gu Yan smiled faintly and said, "You're so good. I've also prepared a gift for you and Nuonuo."

The maid behind Aunt Gu Yan handed over a brocade box.

Yun Xiangye hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Yun Xiangye followed Gu Yan to recognize many relatives, and only then did she realize that Gu Yan had a lot of relatives. After paying her respects to them one by one, she sat down with Gu Yan to have dinner.

Yun Xiangye observed the etiquette of other people's dining and then she learned to eat like Gu Yan. There were many rules in the princess's mansion.

Gu Yan occasionally fed the little Nuonuo beside him. The little Nuonuo had just learned to use chopsticks, so he ate messily and needed someone to feed him.

When Yun Xiangye arrived at the end of the banquet, she was only concerned with feeding Xiao Nuonuo. She really had no interest in eating the dishes on the table.

After all, the room was full of the most distinguished people in the Dasheng Dynasty. Before this, she couldn't believe that she could have a meal with His Majesty.

The banquet lasted for about half an hour.

After the banquet was over, Yun Xiangye did not wait for Gu Yan who was still chatting with the prince and others, and took her daughter back to Qingfeng Garden. It was her first time to see the emperor, so she needed to take a break.

Yun Xiangye's only impression of the royal family was that her cousin from her uncle's family was chosen and sent to the palace as a maid twelve years ago. Now she should be twenty-five years old and almost old enough to leave the palace.

When Yun Xiangye came to Chang'an this time, she thought about whether she could find a way to spend some money to contact her cousin.

Tell my cousin that her family is waiting for her to be released from the palace when she turns 25 so that the whole family can reunite.

Who would have thought that before she could even think of spending money to find out about her cousin, even His Majesty had seen her.

Returned to Qingfeng Garden.

Yun Xiangye returned to her room. She was tired from the long journey and had a nightmare this morning. She broke out in a light sweat and should have taken a shower.

But today Yun Xiangye no longer had the energy to take a bath. Although there was a charcoal fire burning in the room, it was winter after all.

Yun Xiangye was lying on the bed, singing nursery rhymes to lull her daughter to sleep, her thoughts in a state of confusion.

Yun Xiangye saw her little daughter sleeping soundly. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the door was pushed open.

Gu Yan walked in and stood beside Yun Xiangye and said, "It's really cold in the twelfth month of the year in Chang'an City."

When Yunxiang Ye saw Gu Yan getting into bed, she stretched out her hands and pushed Gu Yan off the bed.

Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hands with both of his own, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Are you still angry that I hid your identity from you?"

Yun Xiangye said, "The maidservant beside you said that you have another place to live, so don't come to my room."

Gu Yan frowned and asked, "What do you mean another place to live?"

Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, afraid of waking her daughter, and whispered, "The maidservant beside you said that you won't live with me. After all, you're going to take a concubine in the future. You can't bring a concubine to my room to make love, right?"

Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan with sharp eyes, "Although I come from the market, I will never allow my husband to take a concubine. Since you have the intention to take a concubine, why don't you write a letter of divorce? Tomorrow morning, I will leave the princess's mansion with Nuonuo."
