Su Zhan lowered his voice and said, "Her surname is not He. She is your cousin Ye Wanhe from the Ye family... She will be twenty-five this year. She should be leaving the palace in March, right?"

"You mean Sister He?"

Yun Xiangye sighed and said, "I did see her, but it's a pity that she can't leave the palace."

Su Zhan asked hurriedly, "Why? Aren't all palace maids released from the palace when they reach the age of 25?"

Yun Xiangye said, "Sister is now serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is used to your service and won't allow you to leave the palace when you reach the age limit."

As soon as Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she saw that the light in Su Zhan's eyes seemed to disappear in an instant, and his originally bright face turned dark and gray.

Yun Xiangye looked at Su Zhan's expression and couldn't help but think a lot in her heart.

When she was young, Sister He often came to her family's embroidery workshop to learn embroidery from her mother. Su Zhan's house was right next to their own embroidery workshop, and she would occasionally come to play in the workshop. At that time, they were still young and there was no barrier between men and women...

But that was when they were children, and Yun Xiangye couldn't be sure whether Su Zhan's expression meant that he liked her sister He.

Yun Xiangye looked at Su Zhan and asked tentatively, "Cousin, where is your cousin's wife? Is she in Luoyang or did she come to Chang'an with you?"

Su Zhan whispered, "I haven't gotten married yet."

When Yun Xiangye heard this, her heart skipped a beat. It seemed her guess was correct...

Su Zhan looked at Yun Xiangye in front of him and said, "Cousin, have a cup of tea in Yuanxin Hall over there and wait for me for a moment..."

Yun Xiangye nodded and took Nuonuo to Yuanxin Hall in the dental clinic.

As soon as she sat down, a maid handed her a cup of warm tea.

Yun Xiangye first asked Nuonuo, "Would you like some water?"

Xiao Nuonuo kept shaking his head.

Seeing Xiao Nuonuo shaking her head like a rattle, Yun Xiangye chuckled, "You still need to drink some water. You can't be so unwilling to drink water."

Little Nuonuo shook his head even more vigorously.

Seeing Xiao Nuonuo shaking her head, Yun Xiangye reached out and touched her little face, chuckling softly, "Okay, I won't let you drink water anymore."

Only then did Nuonuo look up and smile sweetly at Yun Xiangye.

Yun Xiangye waited for a moment, and saw Su Zhan coming with two wooden boxes in his hands.

Seeing the embarrassment in Su Zhan's eyes, Yun Xiangye said to Run'er, "Take Nuonuo to the street to eat something, and buy her a string of candied haws."

When Nuonuo heard about the candied haws, she stopped clinging to Yunxiangye and stretched out her hand to let Runer hold it.

Yun Xiangye smiled helplessly, "Little greedy cat."

After Run'er left with Nuonuo, Yun Xiangye put away her smile and looked at Su Zhan, "Cousin."

Su Zhan sat down next to Yun Xiangye, opened a wooden box in his hand, handed it to Yun Xiangye, and said, "This gold bracelet is for you."

Yun Xiangye saw the filigree gold bracelet in front of her, which was inlaid with many red and blue sapphires. It was obviously extremely precious. She said repeatedly, "Cousin, this is really too precious. I can't accept it. You should keep it for your future cousin's wife..."

Su Zhan said to Yun Xiangye, "I have no one to give this bracelet to anymore, so please accept it. I have something else to ask of you."

Yun Xiangye said, "Cousin, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. There's no need to give me such a valuable bracelet."

Su Zhan handed a wooden box to Yun Xiangye and said, "Please give this to Wanhe for me."

Yun Xiangye raised her eyes and looked at Su Zhan, but did not respond.

Su Zhan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "I know it's very difficult to get in touch with the palace maids. Here's a silver note of 100 taels. I'll let you take care of those people..."

Yun Xiangye said, "It's not difficult for me to see my sister, but I can't help you deliver the things to her."

Su Zhan frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

Yun Xiangye whispered, "Men and women cannot exchange things privately, especially since my sister has entered the palace. She cannot exchange things privately with men outside the palace. If I give this bracelet to my sister, it will only implicate her."

"Then consider it as a gift from you to her."

Su Zhan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "I found this for her. She can't wear gold bracelets in the palace. This wooden box contains a Hetian jade bracelet, which is quite inconspicuous."

Yun Xiangye looked at the gold bracelet that Su Zhan had just said he would give her, and thought that Su Zhan had put a lot of thought into it.

Yun Xiangye felt really sad for Ye Wanhe at this moment. If she had not entered the palace, she would have had such a cherished husband...

Why did I have to take contraceptive pills for six years in the palace and not even get a status?

Yun Xiangye pushed the two wooden boxes back to Su Zhan and said, "Cousin, these two bracelets are too valuable. My sister and I cannot accept them. The people in this palace are all used to seeing precious treasures. They must know how precious these jade bracelets are. My sister cannot wear them either."

Yun Xiangye didn't dare to give Su Zhanzhi's jade bracelet to Ye Wanhe. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was interested, he could easily find out the origin of such a top-notch treasure.

Yun Xiangye said to Su Zhan, "You should keep it for your future cousin-in-law."

Su Zhan gave a bitter smile and frowned, "Is she okay in the palace?"

Yun Xiangye whispered only five words: "To be with you is like being with a tiger."

Su Zhan looked towards the palace, sighed, and then turned to ask Yun Xiangye: "Cousin, how about you? Are you doing well after getting married? You are well dressed, so you must have married into a wealthy family, right? Is your mother-in-law treating you well?"

Yun Xiangye only smiled faintly and said, "Why are you only asking about my mother-in-law? You don't even ask how my husband treats me?"

Su Zhan said, "After a woman gets married, no matter how good her husband is, he will never be as good as her mother-in-law. If she meets a mother-in-law who is always demanding and setting rules, her life will be very difficult."
