Everyone around started laughing, and Xiao Yan felt that the laughter was particularly harsh. Thinking that Xiaoyun might be hiding in bed crying, his heart was wrinkled and ached badly.
There is only one last step left. Just wait a little longer and he will be able to go see Xiaoyun.
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, but was eventually surrounded by the crowd and led to the Yihe Palace.
After the group of people left with laughter and joy, the bamboo forest beside the bluestone road rustled. An old woman came out of the bamboo forest and sneered:
"Don't look at me. Today is the wedding day of His Highness and the Princess. How can His Highness care about you? If you refuse to leave His Highness's room, don't blame me for being rude!"
Ji Yunhuan came out of the bamboo forest carrying a small bag. Several sturdy maids around her stared at her. When Xiao Yan passed by, they even covered her mouth, fearing that she would rush out to ask Xiao Yan for help.
In fact, her things had been moved to the courtyard of the Yihe Palace long ago, but Xiao Yan would not let her live in the back and insisted on keeping her, so she had no choice.
"Mammy, you misunderstood. I know the seriousness of the matter and will not disturb Your Highness. You don't have to stare at me like that. I know where my yard is and I will go back to rest."
Nanny Sun snorted coldly, "You're quite clever. I'm not His Highness. I won't be fooled by your coquettish appearance. I won't believe anything you say. The princess has ordered us to keep a close eye on you tonight and won't let you get close to His Highness!"
Ji Yunhuan was too lazy to waste words and went straight to her own yard. The yard Xiao Yan prepared for her was very close. She just had to cross the bluestone road and turn a corner to get there.
If you look down from the air, there is only a bamboo forest between her courtyard and Xiao Yan's bedroom.
Nanny Sun immediately followed and stopped Ji Yunhuan's hand from opening the door.
"I'm afraid Yun Fengyi hasn't understood the situation. The entire Yihe Palace is now under the jurisdiction of the Crown Prince's Consort. Naturally, Yun Fengyi must obey the Crown Prince's Consort's orders on where to live. How can you just live in any courtyard you want?"
Ji Yunhuan was very sleepy. She had been particularly sleepy since she became pregnant. Xiao Yan got up very early today, so she had no choice but to get up early to accompany him.
When Xiao Yan got married, she had to coax him to get dressed and go out. She was really exhausted. Now she just wanted to find a place to sleep and leave all the big things for tomorrow.
"Please lead the way, Madam. I'll stay wherever the princess tells me to stay. Is that all right?"
Nanny Sun took Ji Yunhuan all the way to the Yihe Palace, deliberately avoiding the main hall, but the sounds from the main hall could still be heard.
"His Highness must have entered the house by now. As newlyweds, I wonder how affectionate they will be."
"Yun Fengyi, you must recognize your own status. The Crown Princess is His Highness's legal wife. You are merely a servant. You should serve the Crown Princess more often in the future and not be lazy or idle."
"Without the permission of the Crown Princess, Feng Yi is not allowed to move around freely, let alone go to the front. If you break the rules, you must have seen the punishment in the palace. The Crown Princess is kind, but I will not tolerate any sand in my eyes..."
Nanny Sun kept muttering all the way, but Ji Yunhuan listened with one ear and out with the other, and responded with her mouth, but in fact, she didn't take it to heart at all.
Finally, they arrived at a remote courtyard. It was called a courtyard, but in fact it was just a lonely house, very simple. Judging from its shape, it should be a place for low-ranking palace servants to live.
It was really hard for Sun Jiayi to find such a place in the newly renovated Jardine Matheson Palace.
"We're here, Yun Fengyi, come in quickly. Everything inside is complete. You will live here from now on."
Ji Yunhuan went in carrying his bag. Although the place was a bit simple, it had everything one needed and was indeed habitable.
Sun Jiayi is really amazing. As soon as she entered the palace, they couldn't wait to send people to criticize her. But if you think about it carefully, Sun Jiayi did nothing wrong. The concubines in the eldest prince's backyard should be arranged by the prince's wife.
The main hall was brightly lit and full of joy, but it was cold and deserted here, without even a cup of hot tea. If she was a sensitive person, she would probably cry until dawn.
Ji Yunhuan had already washed up. She yawned, thought about it, and felt that Xiao Yan would not come tonight, so she turned off the lights, lay on the bed, and fell asleep quickly.
————
Inside the main hall of Yihe Palace.
Sun Jiayi held up a round fan and sat on the edge of the bed with a shy look on her face. The more she looked, the more satisfied she felt. The eldest prince was more handsome than the fifth prince, and his demeanor was beyond the reach of the fifth prince.
After waiting for a long time, the eldest prince was still sitting at the table, his handsome profile was cold and elegant, and he had no intention of getting up.
Sun Jiayi was getting impatient and no longer cared about her girlish shyness. She had gone to great lengths to marry the eldest prince, not to stay alone in an empty room.
"Husband, it's getting late, let's go to bed early." Sun Jiayi threw the fan aside, untied her outer robe, and walked towards Xiao Yan.
A hint of disgust flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
Sun Jiayi is the only daughter of Sun Zhi. On the surface, Sun Zhi is just a minor official in the Hanlin Academy who compiles history books and does not care about worldly affairs, but secretly he has dealings with the fifth prince.
That's why Concubine Wu chose Sun Jiayi. If Sun Jiayi had behaved herself, everything would have been fine. But judging from her behavior today, it was clear that she had already defected to Concubine Wu.
"Don't worry, we haven't drunk the wedding wine yet. It won't be too late to drink this glass of wine."
"My husband is right. I will pour you some wine."
Sun Jiayi had taken off all her clothes except for her undergarment. Under the ambiguous candlelight, the bright red wedding dress wrapped around her fair skin. When she lowered her head to pour the wine, her neckline was clearly visible, which aroused people's imagination.
She thought she was good-looking and had a great figure, but the eldest prince didn't even look at her, as if he only had eyes for the two cups of wedding wine.
