Chapter 134 Uncle Ye
On the river, an official ship was sailing towards Chang'an City at a very fast speed.
A small boat was gradually approaching the big ship.
Zhao Rui looked at Gu Yan on the side of the boat and said, "I haven't seen my parents for a long time. I don't know how they are doing."
Gu Yan was preoccupied and ignored Zhao Rui. Last night, as soon as he returned to the study, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave him a difficult task. Gu Yan didn't know how to tell his uncle and aunt.
Zhao Rui said to Gu Yan: "Brother Yan?"
Gu Yan said to Zhao Rui: "Uncle Xiang Wang and aunt are both very good."
After the boat approached the big ship, Gu Yan boarded the ship from the gangway. As soon as he was on the deck, Gu Yan saw Yun Xiangye's cousin Ye Li and cousin Ye Zhimiao.
Seeing Gu Yan coming, Ye Li smiled and said, "Brother-in-law Gu, long time no see."
Gu Yan patted Ye Li's shoulder and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year. You've grown a lot taller."
Ye Zhimiao looked behind Gu Yan and saw that Zhao Rui didn't see Yun Xiangye, so he asked hurriedly, "Where is Sister Xiangye? Why didn't Sister Xiangye come with you?"
Gu Yan said: "Xiang Ye will pick you up at the dock tomorrow. I have something to discuss with my uncle and aunt."
Ye Li took Gu Yan into the cabin.
On the deck, Zhao Rui looked at the young girl in front of him and chuckled, "What's your name, young lady?"
Ye Zhimiao looked Zhao Rui up and down, and seeing his teasing look, she said, "Auntie."
"Aunt?" Zhao Rui was stunned. "Is there anyone else called this?"
Ye Zhimiao rolled his eyes at Zhao Rui and went inside.
In the hall of the cabin.
Seeing Gu Yan coming aboard, Ye Yuan and his wife asked, "Gu Yan?"
Gu Yan bowed to Ye Yuan and his wife and said, "My son-in-law greets my uncle and aunt."
Ye Yuan hurriedly helped Gu Yan to stand up and said, "Don't be so polite, where is Xiangye? Did she come with you? Is she okay?"
Gu Yan whispered, "Xiangye is fine, uncle, aunt, I came to see you early today... because of Sister Wanhe's matter."
Aunt Ye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "How is Wan He? Did something happen to her in the palace?"
Aunt Ye, who had not heard from her eldest daughter for many years, was counting the days on her fingers, hoping that her daughter could leave the palace and reunite with her family. Now, the closer she got to Chang'an, the more upset she felt.
Gu Yan said: "Sister Wanhe is doing well. She will become the Crown Princess soon."
"What?"
When Ye Yuan and his wife heard this, they were stunned and full of disbelief. How could their daughter become the Crown Princess?
Ye Li and Ye Zhimiao, who had just entered the cabin, heard Gu Yan's words and thought that Gu Yan was joking.
Ye Li said: "Brother-in-law Gu, are you telling the truth? My sister is going to become the Crown Princess?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Wanhe will marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the sixth day of April, but... Sister Wanhe's status is a bit low. She was originally a merchant, and now she is a palace maid. She can't become the Crown Princess and marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as Ye Wanhe."
Ye Yuan showed helplessness on his face: "I am incompetent..."
Gu Yan coughed and said, "So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came up with a plan, which is to let Sister Wanhe marry the daughter of the Duke of Chengguo, the current uncle of the Crown Prince, Wei Zhan."
Ye Yuan and his aunt exchanged a glance, and his aunt hurriedly asked, "Let Wan He recognize Duke Weiguo as her father?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, His Highness gave Sister Wan He the name Wei Zhenzhu. After Sister He became Wei Zhenzhu, the daughter of Duke Wei, she can legitimately become the Crown Princess, and people will not talk about her low status..."
Ye Yuan looked embarrassed, and after a while he said, "If Wan He can have a good future, she can recognize anyone as her father. After all, I am incompetent."
Aunt Ye also nodded and said, "Yes, after all, we as her parents are sorry for her, letting her enter the palace at such a young age to suffer. If Wan He is lucky enough to become the Crown Princess, it doesn't matter who she recognizes as her parents, as long as she is happy."
Ye Zhimiao was furious when he heard this and said, "If a person in this world doesn't even recognize his own parents, is he still worthy of being called a human being? For the position of Crown Princess, has your sister even abandoned her parents?"
"Miao'er!" Aunt Ye scolded hurriedly.
Ye Zhimiao said: "I'm not wrong."
Ye Yuan said to Ye Zhimiao: "Shut up, we are the ones who have wronged your sister."
Aunt Ye also said: "It's a good thing that Wanhe has such good fortune. She can't be the apple of our eye in our family, so it's great for her to be the pearl of the Wei family."
Gu Yan whispered, "Uncle, aunt, actually Sister Wan He has not agreed to be Wei Zhenzhu yet. She doesn't want to recognize other people as her parents. His Highness asked me to come here so that you can persuade Sister Wan He to agree to be Wei Zhenzhu when you see her tomorrow."
"After all, the divorce is not long away. I hope that when my uncle and aunt see my cousin tomorrow, they will persuade her to agree to be Zhenzhu's guardian and not to disobey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Aunt Ye's eyes were red.
Ye Yuan lowered his eyes and said, "Okay, I will try to persuade Wan He."
Gu Yan said: "There is one more thing... I came to you two today to talk about this matter, and I hope you don't let Xiang Ye know."
Ye Yuan also knew Gu Yan's dilemma, so he nodded.
Seeing Aunt Ye crying, Gu Yan said, "There is another piece of good news. Sister Wan He is more than two months pregnant."
Aunt Ye became even more worried when she heard this.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Wan He is 25 years old and has a child. It is a happy event, a great happy event."
Gu Yan said: "Tomorrow, please ask my uncle and aunt to persuade my cousin. I have to rush back to Chang'an. Bye."
After Gu Yan bowed, he turned and left.
After Gu Yan left, Aunt Ye sat on the stool and cried.
Ye Yuan said: "Wan He is so lucky. I was worried that she would not be able to get married and have no children in this life. Now she is getting married and is pregnant. This is a great joy."
Aunt Ye wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "You will be able to see Wan He tomorrow. You shouldn't cry."
--
In Qingfeng Garden.
Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo came back and didn't see Gu Yan, and Yun Xiangye didn't go looking for Gu Yan.
After all, they will be divorced soon.
At night, Yun Xiangye held Nuonuo in her arms and could not fall asleep for a long time. It took a long time before she fell into a deep sleep. She had various dreams all night long, and she kept dreaming of a white night in the East Palace...
After waking up, Yun Xiangye saw that it was already dawn outside, so she asked the maid to help her dress up. In front of her uncle and aunt, she didn't want to wear her hair in an extremely expensive and gorgeous bun, but she couldn't wear it too plain either.
Fortunately, Yin Liu's craftsmanship is good. Yun Xiangye looked at herself in the bronze mirror and wondered if she could take Yin Liu with her if she divorced Gu Yan.
After Yun Xiangye finished dressing up, she carried Nuonuo out of the Princess's Mansion, "Nuonuo, you're going to meet your uncle and aunt, are you happy?"
Nuo Nuo said: "Happy!"
When Yun Xiangye was about to get on the carriage, she saw Gu Yan riding a horse towards her.
Gu Yan turned over and dismounted, saying, "I just came back from the East Palace. I will accompany you to the dock to meet your uncle and aunt."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yanjun's face. There was a circle of dark blue in his starry eyes, as if he had not had a good rest in the past two days.
Yun Xiangye nodded, but did not stop Gu Yan from getting on the carriage.
After all, she and Gu Yan still have to pretend to be a loving couple in front of her uncle and aunt for a while. However, Yun Xiangye thought that it wouldn't last too long.
After Gu Yan got on the carriage, he leaned on Yun Xiangye's legs and fell asleep. After all, he had been traveling for two days and nights and was very tired. When he smelled the scent of Yun Xiangye, he fell asleep immediately.
Yun Xiangye originally wanted to push Gu Yan away who was leaning on her legs, but seeing Nuonuo was beside her, she finally did not push Gu Yan away.
It was almost noon when they arrived at the dock. Gu Yan slowly woke up. Under Yun Xiangye's gaze, he immediately sat up straight and hugged Nuonuo who was beside him.
After Yun Xiangye got off the carriage, she looked at the broad river and recalled the time when she came here last year...
Four months have passed in a flash.
