Seeing that Gu Yan didn't reply, Xie Shian chuckled and said, "I guess I was right."

Zhao Rui smiled again. Seeing Gu Yan glaring at him, Zhao Rui looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Royal brother, since you've invited Miss Fu, why not invite the Royal Sister-in-law to go boating on the lake as well? After all, you're getting married in April, and it's rare for the Royal Sister-in-law to go boating outside the palace. Why don't you come with us?"

Zhao Yun responded, "Okay, all of you leave."

Gu Yan bowed and retreated back to the princess's mansion.

As soon as he entered Qingfeng Garden, Gu Yan heard a burst of laughter. He looked up and saw several kites in the sky.

Little Jingru's voice was the loudest: "Wow, my kite is so high, even higher than my sister's."

Gu Jingyu pulled the kite string and said, "Yes, Jingru's kite is the tallest."

Nuonuo pulled Yun Xiangye's sleeve and said, "Mother, it's high."

Yun Xiangye smiled lightly and said, "It can't be any higher. If it's any higher, you won't be able to hold on to the string."

"Brother," Gu Jingyu said when she saw Gu Yan coming in from the door.

Gu Yan walked over to Yun Xiangye, took the kite string from Nuonuo's hand, unleashed it very long, and said, "Daddy will help you fly the kite high."

Nuonuo smiled at Gu Yan.

Little Jingru frowned and looked at Gu Yan and said, "My kite is the tallest. Your kite cannot be taller than mine!"

Gu Yan frowned and looked at Xiao Jingru, "How can you be so overbearing?"

Little Jingru frowned and ran behind Yun Xiangye, "Sister-in-law, big brother is so fierce."

Yun Xiangye half-knelt down and said to Xiao Jingru, "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law will help you fly the kite high."

Yun Xiangye actually faced off with Gu Yan, and both of them flew their kites higher and higher.

Until Gu Yan's kite string was too long and broke, and the kite flew away with the wind.

Seeing this, Nuonuo burst into tears.

Little Jingru hurriedly walked over to Nuonuo and said, "Don't cry, Nuonuo, let Nuonuo play with my kite."

Only then did Nuonuo stop crying and took the kite string from Xiao Jingru.

Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan and said, "He's more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."

Gu Yan didn't take her words to heart. He just said to Yun Xiangye, "In a few days, on the second day of the second month, Zhao Rui wants to meet Fu Anran. Shi An will arrange a boat cruise on the lake. When the time comes, invite Fu Anran in Jingyu's name, and you and I will go on the boat cruise together."

Gu Jingyu said from the side: "Cousin Rui wants to see Fu Anran?"

Yun Xiangye asked, "Who is Zhao Rui?"

Gu Yan said: "Zhao Rui is the son of my aunt and my uncle, the Prince of Xiang. They are the aunt and uncle who came to persuade you to marry me."

Yun Xiangye sorted out the relationship and said, "He's going to see Fu Anran, what are you and I going to do? Fu Anran has even proposed marriage to you, and your cousin is going to see him, so why are you going there?"

Even though Fu Anran now deeply hates Gu Yan, they have proposed marriage to each other after all.

It is somewhat inappropriate for Gu Yan to go.

Gu Yan said, "There's nothing to do that day anyway, and you've never been to a lake in Chang'an before, so go and relax."

Yun Xiangye was still reluctant to go, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that after coming to Chang'an, she had indeed been able to go out and play and relax without any worries.

I don’t know what the difference is between the painted boats in Chang’an City and those in Yongxing City.

Gu Jingyu looked at Gu Yan, walked over to Yun Xiangye, put her arm around her and said, "Sister-in-law, please come with us. Since Cousin Rui and Miss Fu are going to see her, the more people who go, the better."

Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Okay, let's go boating together."

In the East Palace bedroom.

It was only dusk, but Ye Wanhe was already feeling drowsy.

Now that she is no longer the head maid of the Eastern Palace, she no longer has to manage the huge backyard of the Eastern Palace as before. She only needs to clean the bedroom and serve His Highness, and she has some free time.

The rest of the people in the Eastern Palace had no time to rest, after all, it was only a little over two months until the Crown Princess entered the Eastern Palace on April 6th.

His Highness is about to get married, and it is a busy time.

Ye Wanhe did not leave the bedroom to avoid being alone and attracting resentment.

When she had nothing to do, Ye Wanhe would embroider a purse.

Hearing the palace servants' greetings outside, Ye Wanhe hurriedly stood up and went outside to greet them: "Your Highness."

Ye Wanhe took the cloak that Zhao Yun took off, hung it up, and went to the side to pour a glass of warm water for Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun looked up at Ye Wanhe and said, "In two days it will be the second day of the second month. I want to go out of the palace for a boat trip. Do you want to go with me?"

Ye Wanhe whispered, "I will obey your Highness."

Zhao Yun took Ye Wanhe's hand, pulled her into his arms and said, "Then come with me to the pleasure boat to cruise on the lake."

Ye Wanhe raised her eyes to look at Zhao Yun and asked in a low voice, "How did Your Highness find the leisure to leave the palace and go boating on the lake?"

Zhao Yun said, "Zhao Rui has developed feelings for Fu Anran. Shi An said he would act as a matchmaker for them and take them on a boat cruise on the second day of the second lunar month so they can meet each other. Fu Qianran will also be there that day."

Ye Wanhe whispered, "Then I'd better not go."

Zhao Yun lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Wanhe.

Ye Wanhe whispered, "I have been feeling unwell these past few days."

Zhao Yun looked down at Ye Wanhe and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Wanhe whispered, "My lower abdomen is aching slightly. Maybe my period is coming."

Perhaps it was because of the contraceptive pills, her menstrual period had always been irregular, and this time it hadn't come for two months. Zhao Yun had also been a bit unrestrained in the past few days, so she could only take the contraceptive pills every day...

I don’t know if it’s because I take it every day, but I’ve had a slight pain in my lower abdomen these past few days, but I haven’t had my period.
