Chapter 105 It would be great if Wei Xi could really be the Crown Princess
Wei Yu stood very close to Zhao Yun and served him tea, "Cousin, please have some tea."
Zhao Yun reached out and took the tea brewed by Wei Yu.
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but sneer. This Crown Prince really did not refuse anyone who came to him.
Gu Yan clearly said that Mr. Linlang had said that cousins should not get married. Could it be that Zhao Yun could not figure out Wei Xi's thoughts?
He actually allowed Wei Xi to almost have half of her body sticking to him?
However, Yun Xiangye thought that it would be good if Wei Xi could really become the Crown Princess, so that Zhao Yun would not harm other girls.
Zhao Rui walked up to Gu Yan and said, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, why don't you bring Nuonuo with you?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Nuonuo fell asleep, so I didn't bring Nuonuo with me."
Zhao Rui smiled and said, "I thought you two were deeply in love and that you thought Nuonuo was a burden."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly when he heard the word "burden" and asked, "Cousin Rui, do you know what "burden" means?"
After Zhao Rui came to his senses, he apologized to Yun Xiangye repeatedly, "I'm sorry, cousin, it's my fault. I just got a jar of 18-year-old fine wine. I'll treat you to a drink later to apologize."
Yun Xiangye said: "Forget it, I rarely drink old wine from outside."
Zhao Rui said: "This jar of Yuezhou Nv'erhong is a rare fine wine. It was collected by a wine shop in Chang'an City for many years. I spent a lot of money to buy it."
Gu Yan smiled when he heard the word "good wine" and said, "Those fine wines you have collected may not be as good as the fine wine made by Xiangye's relatives. I have had the honor of drinking it three times. The mellow taste is the real good wine."
Zhao Rui said, "I almost forgot that my cousin's wife is from Yuezhou. Does she have any unmarried sisters at home? Do you have any fine wine for girls that is more than 20 years old? I will go and ask for a glass of fine wine when the time comes."
Yun Xiangye glanced at Zhao Yun, but quickly looked away.
According to the custom in Yongxing City, when a daughter is born, a jar of rice wine will be buried and will be opened on the day of her marriage.
Most girls get married at the age of 20 at the latest, but Sister He's jar of daughter's red wine has not been opened yet.
Gu Yan smiled at Zhao Rui and said, "How can a girl not be married at the age of 20? Your cousin's wife got married at the age of 20, but it's a pity that her jar of girl's red wine has already been opened."
Zhao Rui said, "I heard that Aunt Ye beside His Highness is the cousin of my cousin's wife? She entered the palace, so is her jar of daughter's red wine still unopened?"
Wei Xi frowned slightly as she listened to what Zhao Rui said. Aunt Ye was the senior palace maid beside Zhao Yun. She was actually Yun Xiangye's cousin?
Wei Xi really didn't know about this.
Wei Xi looked at Yun Xiangye with a sneer and said, "So your cousin is Aunt Ye, cousin, this is your fault. If you had said earlier that your cousin is a servant of the Crown Prince... I'm sure His Highness would have given you this favor and let your sister leave the palace as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't have to be a servant."
After Wei Yu finished speaking, regardless of Zhao Yun's ugly expression, she pressed half of her body against Zhao Yun and said, "Cousin, you should order Aunt Ye to leave the palace now. The Prince Consort of Prince Ning is actually the cousin of a slave. This will inevitably make the Prince Consort suffer from the ridicule of everyone."
As Wei Xi spoke, he looked at Yun Xiangye with a sneer in his eyes.
I already knew that Yun Xiangye was of humble origin, but I didn't expect that Yun Xiangye had a sister who was a slave in the palace.
Zhao Yun raised his eyes to look at Wei Yu and said coldly: "Get lost!"
Wei Xi couldn't believe what Zhao Yun said, "Cousin?"
Zhao Yun looked at the guards behind him and said, "Take Wei Xi away from this pleasure boat."
"Cousin, cousin..." Wei Xi frowned slightly, not knowing what she had said wrong.
Wei Qianlian said to Zhao Yun: "Your Highness, how has Mei'er offended you..."
Zhao Yun said: "If you want to beg for mercy, get out with us."
Wei Qian didn't dare to say anything more.
Zhao Rui saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly ordered someone to bring in some aged wine. Zhao Rui poured a glass of wine for Zhao Yun and said, "Brother, don't be angry, taste this excellent daughter's red wine."
Zhao Yun frowned, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Rui whispered, "Brother, are you worried about something? It's a pity that you drink this good wine in such big gulps."
After taking his seat, Gu Yan took the wine glass handed over by Zhao Rui and chuckled, "Your Highness must be worrying about who to choose as the Crown Princess at the March 3rd Princess Selection Banquet in a few days?"
Zhao Rui said: "Do we still need to choose? We must choose Lin Bolan, the daughter of Prime Minister Lin."
Zhao Rui also poured a glass of wine for Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye did not refuse and took a sip. It was indeed the taste of the daughter's red wine from Yongxing City in her memory.
Yun Xiangye took a sip and missed her hometown even more.
Zhao Yun didn't care about Zhao Rui's guess about his choice of the Crown Princess, he just drank in silence.
When choosing the Crown Princess five years ago, Zhao Yun had no difficulty at all. He just wanted someone who was dignified, generous, virtuous and gentle, worthy of being the mother of the country.
But this time, Zhao Yun was not satisfied with anyone. Lin Bolan was indeed a rare candidate for the Crown Princess. Among all the Chang'an daughters who had not yet found a marriage, Lin Bolan was indeed the most qualified to be the Crown Princess.
The only thing that was inappropriate was that Lin Bolan proposed marriage to Gu Yan almost four years ago. But after all, so many years have passed. As long as Lin Bolan becomes the Crown Princess, no one will mention the marriage proposal again.
But Zhao Yun was very reluctant to choose her, and also reluctant to choose anyone as the Crown Princess...
Apart from……
Zhao Yun thought of the person in his mind and drank another glass of aged wine.
Zhao Rui said, "Brother, can you ask Aunt Ye for her jar of Nv'erhong for me? I am willing to pay a large sum of money to buy her jar of Nv'erhong that is over 25 years old. If she is unwilling, please tell Aunt Ye that she must invite me to the wedding banquet when she opens the Nv'erhong when she gets married. I want to taste what Nv'erhong that is aged for 25 years tastes like."
Zhao Yun was only focused on drinking the wine in front of him, "Wan He will never get married in this life."
Yun Xiangye silently followed in her heart, that’s not necessarily true.
Her cousin Su Zhan is deeply in love with Sister He. If Sister He can really leave the palace smoothly.
Cousin Su may not care that Sister He is carrying the prince with him, so I think he will still be willing to marry Sister He...
--
As March approaches, the discussion about who will be the Crown Princess grows louder.
Although the rules in the Eastern Palace are strict, the palace maids couldn't help but wonder who would be the Crown Princess.
Ye Wanhe occasionally heard the palace maids talking in front of her, but she did not participate. She did not care who was the Crown Princess. She only hoped to leave Chang'an City safely with her unborn child.
Whether the daughter of the Duke of Weiguo becomes the Crown Princess, or the girl from the Lin family or the girl from the Xu family becomes the Crown Princess, it has nothing to do with her now.
Ye Wanhe was embroidering a robe for Zhao Yun in the bedroom of the East Palace. When she finished embroidering the robe, it would be time for her to fake her death and leave.
"Your Highness, be careful."
When Ye Wanhe heard Li Quan's words coming from the door, she quickly put down her needle and thread, walked to the door, and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking unsteadily and smelling of alcohol.
Ye Wanhe went to support the drunk Zhao Yun. She looked at Li Quan and asked, "Why is Your Highness drunk?"
Li Quan said: "Today, Your Highness and Miss Wei Yu, the Prince of Xiang, went to cruise on the lake in a pleasure boat. The Prince of Xiang said he had some good wine, and Your Highness the Crown Prince was a little greedy."
Ye Wanhe hurriedly helped Zhao Yun into the bedroom and placed him on the small couch. When she was about to make some hangover medicine, Zhao Yun pulled her into his arms.
Zhao Yun lay on the small couch, holding Ye Wanhe in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice after being drunk: "Do you want to be the Crown Princess?"
