Chapter 114: He Never Thought of Making Ye Wanhe His Legal Wife
Zhao Yun went to the bathtub and washed away the filth that Ye Wanhe had vomited.
In the bathtub shrouded in mist, all Zhao Yun could see were Ye Wanhe's red eyes and her heartbroken words.
A thought kept popping up in Zhao Yun's mind, but he still frowned. After changing his clothes, he left the palace.
Seeing Zhao Yun leaving, Ye Wanhe forced herself to get up and went to find some medicine to reduce her fever. She absolutely could not let the imperial physician take her pulse. Fortunately, most of the palace maids had some medicine on hand.
After Ye Wanhe finished boiling the medicine, she became worried that it might harm the baby in her belly, so she simply stopped taking the medicine.
In Xiaoyao Pavilion.
Seeing Zhao Yun drinking one cup after another, Xiangjun Wang Zhao Rui said, "Brother, you still have to choose a sister-in-law tomorrow, so drink less."
Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Rui standing in front of him and said, "I really envy you and Gu Yan."
Zhao Rui was puzzled and asked, "Are you jealous of me and Gu Yan?"
Zhao Yun said slowly: "You and Gu Yanshi'an can marry any woman you want. You don't have to think too much. My Crown Princess will be the future queen, so she must come from a noble family...
Even though I saw my beloved one become ill because of this, I could only let her down and not marry her. "
"Why not?" Zhao Rui said, "Your Majesty and the Queen didn't force you to choose anyone. They all came according to your wishes."
Zhao Yun said: "My Crown Princess cannot be the daughter of a merchant family... and certainly cannot be a slave in the palace."
Zhao Rui snorted, "Royal brother, you are really taking advantage of me. You said that my brother Yan Shi'an and I can marry any woman we want, but that's not true.
Xie Shian has liked Fu Qianran for many years, but he could only bury this love deep in his heart and dared not tell anyone.
And you! You can marry whomever you want!
You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the only heir to the throne of the Great Sheng Empire. You can marry any woman you want. If you feel that you cannot marry her, it is simply because you do not love her enough...
"Our grandfather was the one who wanted to consolidate his imperial power, so he had no choice but to marry Wang as his empress instead of marrying the girl he loved. Now that your imperial power is consolidated and the court is at peace, why can't you marry the girl you love? You never really loved her."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Zhao Rui!"
Zhao Rui said: "I am bold. If you want to punish me today, I will also say that you should stop pretending to be affectionate and helpless."
"Cousin Yan is also of noble status. Didn't he also marry a merchant girl?
Besides, how can Aunt Ye be considered not to be of noble origin now? She has a cousin who is the Prince of Ning's consort, how can she not be noble enough?"
"When Aunt Ye has your child, her future child and the future grandson of Prince Ning will be cousins. Why should you worry that your child's throne will be unstable because of his mother's low status?"
Zhao Rui said to Zhao Yun, "By the way, if you say that daughters of merchants are of low status, your grandmother and my grandmother-in-law were both restaurant owners. Now that you despise merchant daughters, aren't you afraid that the censor will accuse you of being unfilial?"
Zhao Rui became more and more angry as he spoke: "And don't you have the blood of a merchant girl flowing in your veins?"
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Zhao Rui, do you really think I dare not punish you?"
Zhao Rui said: "You can punish me if you want, but you can go to the Emperor's uncle and aunt to judge this matter. If you really count, the Emperor's uncle has the blood of a merchant girl. You are obviously just attracted by her beauty and don't love Aunt Ye at all. Why are you pretending to be affectionate in front of me?
If you really like her, you are the crown prince, the only prince of the current emperor. If you insist on marrying Aunt Ye, who can stop you? You could have given her the title of Crown Princess long ago."
Zhao Yun picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in it. In the end, he did not punish Zhao Rui.
Uncle Xiang Wang and Aunt Zhirong have been traveling abroad, and Zhao Rui can be considered as his biological brother who grew up in their care.
Zhao Yun had indeed not thought about giving Ye Wanhe the position of Crown Princess before. He just thought that he could not give her the title of Concubine or Lady Liang.
He never thought of making Ye Wanhe his legal wife.
He had this thought now because he wanted to re-elect the Crown Princess during this period, but he could not ignore the world's gaze.
Zhao Rui snatched the wine glass from Zhao Yun's hand and said, "It would be a pity to give you this good wine."
Zhao Yun frowned, stood up and was about to leave.
Zhao Rui said to Zhao Yun, "Brother, if you decide on the Crown Princess tomorrow, there will be no room for maneuver.
Your wedding is only a month away, and envoys from all over the country will arrive in Chang'an in at least ten days or half a month. Once you decide on the Crown Princess tomorrow, there will be no way you can change the candidate again."
After listening to Zhao Ruizhi's words, Zhao Yun strode out of Xiaoyao Pavilion.
--
In Qingfeng Garden.
Yun Xiangye's left eyelid kept twitching violently. She was filled with worry, fearing that something serious was going to happen.
Nuonuo threw herself into Yun Xiangye's arms and shouted, "Mother."
Yun Xiangye held Nuonuo in her arms and placed her hand on her left eyelid.
When Gu Yan came back, he saw Yun Xiangye blinking her left eye and asked, "What's wrong with your left eye?"
"My left eye has been twitching today. I wonder if something serious is going to happen?"
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "The left eye twitching means good fortune."
Yun Xiangye asked, "What if the right eyelid twitches?"
Gu Yan said: "That's because you didn't sleep well at night."
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but laugh, "How can there be any good news for me?"
Gu Yan walked up to Yun Xiangye and held her wrist, "Could it be true that she is pregnant?"
Yun Xiangye whispered, "This is not a happy event."
Gu Yan felt Yun Xiangye's pulse, but did not find any signs of pregnancy. He felt a little disappointed. "Let mother check your pulse tomorrow to see why you are not pregnant anymore."
Yun Xiangye hugged Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo is enough for me. Nuonuo doesn't need any brothers or sisters."
Nuonuo smiled at Yun Xiangye, "If you want a brother or sister, there are candied haws."
Yun Xiangye gently rubbed Nuonuo's little face, "Little greedy cat."
Gu Yan was quite surprised, "Nuonuo can actually speak so many words all of a sudden?"
Nanny Cao smiled and said, "Princess Jingru comes to talk to the little princess every day. The little princess follows Princess Jingru to learn how to speak. Sometimes she can already speak six or seven words at a time."
Gu Yan touched Nuonuo's head and said, "Nuonuo is amazing. Daddy will take you to the street to buy candied haws. You can pick which one you want."
Xiao Nuonuo smiled and threw herself into Gu Yan's arms, "Hello, Daddy."
Yun Xiangye looked at the scene of the loving father and filial daughter and sighed slightly, letting Nuonuo have another beautiful memory with Gu Yan and his daughter.
At night, the weather in March was still chilly. Suddenly, a cold wave hit, and the palace had to light the floor heating again.
Inside the East Palace bedroom.
Zhao Yun, who came back drunk, sat beside Ye Wanhe's bed and put his hand on the forehead of the sleeping Ye Wanhe, which was still very hot.
"Wanhe, Wanhe."
Zhao Yun called Ye Wanhe several times, but she didn't wake up. He hurriedly ordered Li Quan, "Go and call the imperial physician. Quick!"
