Chapter 135: Planning to Live in Chang'an for a Long Time
Yun Xiangye looked out towards the river and saw a large ship slowly approaching. He also saw a figure on the deck from afar and couldn't help feeling excited.
A quarter of an hour later, the boat finally stopped at the dock.
When Yun Xiangye saw Ye Zhimiao getting off the boat, she couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes. She missed her sister Shuangbai very much.
Ye Zhimiao walked up to Yun Xiangye, hugged her and said, "Sister."
Yun Xiangye also held Ye Zhimiao in his arms and said, "Miaomiao."
Ye Zhimiao said: "I miss my sister so much."
Yun Xiangye smiled gently. When she saw her uncle and aunt getting off the boat with worried faces, she stepped forward and knelt down to greet them, saying, "Uncle, aunt."
Ye Yuan saw Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, you have lost some weight."
Aunt Ye said with pity in her eyes: "You have lost a lot of weight."
Yun Xiangye wanted to hold back her tears, but they still fell down, "Uncle, Aunt."
Aunt Ye held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Aunt is here. Tomorrow I will make you your favorite stewed duck with bamboo shoots, ham and preserved vegetables to nourish your body."
Yun Xiangye hummed, "Thank you, aunt."
Yun Xiangye looked at Zhao Rui who was getting off the boat, slightly puzzled as to why Zhao Rui was on the boat. She looked again and saw Gu Yan's uncle Prince Xiang and aunt Xie Zhirong getting off the boat.
Yun Xiangye stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Hello, uncle and aunt."
Xie Zhirong smiled at Yun Xiangye, took Nuonuo from Gu Yan's arms and said, "I haven't seen Nuonuo for a long time. You have grown a lot."
Nuonuo smiled sweetly in Xie Zhirong's arms and said, "Aunt grandmother."
"So good." Xie Zhirong touched the little head.
Gu Yan stepped forward and said, "My mother has prepared a welcoming banquet at the Princess's residence. It's getting late, so let's go back to the residence first and talk later."
Xie Zhirong chuckled and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time. Let's go."
Yun Xiangye also stepped forward and held her aunt's hand and said, "Uncle, aunt, I have prepared a courtyard for you in the Princess's Mansion."
Ye Yuan said: "Xiangye, there is no need to bother. Before I came to Chang'an, I asked a friend to buy a two-story courtyard in Chang'an City. Although it is a little small, it is enough for our family to live in."
Yun Xiangye said: "It will take some time to tidy up the courtyard, so uncle and aunt can live in the Princess's mansion first."
Aunt Ye chuckled and said, "We don't have much to pack, so we'd better not live in the Princess's Mansion."
Yun Xiangye knew what her uncle and aunt said, so she did not force them to stay in the Princess's Mansion. After all, it was more convenient to live in her own place.
Yun Xiangye said: "Then let's go to the Princess's residence for a welcoming banquet first."
Aunt Ye was stunned for a moment, glanced at Gu Yan, and then slowly said to Yun Xiangye: "Xiangye, I want to see... Wanhe first."
Yun Xiangye also looked at Gu Yan and said, "I will take my uncle and aunt to Mr. Tao's Villa first."
Gu Yan said, "Let's go back to the Princess's Mansion first. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to summon my uncle and aunt to go to Mr. Tao's Villa."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and took a deep breath.
When Aunt Ye heard this, she hurriedly said, "Yes, let's go to the Princess's Mansion first."
Seeing this, Yun Xiangye helped Aunt Ye into the carriage, and sat in the same carriage with Aunt Ye and Ye Zhimiao.
Aunt Ye was in the carriage, looking at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, tell me the truth, is life in Chang'an City hard? Have the Princess and Prince Ning bullied you?"
"No, no." Yun Xiangye said repeatedly, "My mother-in-law treats me very well."
Aunt Ye said, "That's good. You've lost a lot of weight. I thought you were wronged in Chang'an."
Yun Xiangye said: "I haven't been wronged that much."
Aunt Ye asked, "Is Wanhe okay?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Sister is also doing well."
Yun Xiangye did not mention the grievances that Ye Wanhe had suffered. After all, they would soon meet each other. She was talking about the grievances that Ye Wanhe had suffered just to make Aunt Ye worried.
Yun Xiangye also asked about some things in Jiangnan, and as they chatted along the way, they soon arrived outside the Princess's Mansion.
After getting off the carriage, Yun Xiangye saw the eldest princess and Prince Ning welcoming guests outside the door.
Yun Xiangye whispered to Aunt Ye: "Aunt, these are my mother-in-law and father-in-law."
Aunt Ye was a little surprised that the princess looked so young. She thought she was Gu Yan's sister, so she hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, saying, "I pay my respects to the princess and Prince Ning."
Xie Zhixuan hurriedly helped Aunt Ye up and said, "Aunt-in-law, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
Ye Yuan also hurried forward to pay his respects, "Greetings to the Princess and Prince Ning."
Gu Ling said: "No need to be polite, the banquet has been prepared in the house. The family banquet is not very sumptuous, I hope the two relatives will not dislike it."
"No, no." Ye Yuan felt a little terrified when he saw how polite he was to the two nobles before him.
Aunt Ye felt relieved, thinking that what Yun Xiangye said about her mother-in-law treating her very well was not just a lie.
"Sister." Xie Zhirong came forward.
Xie Zhixuan chuckled and said, "Now that we're back in Chang'an, you won't leave, right?"
Xie Zhirong said, "I won't leave. Rui'er's marriage is important. He is not young anymore. He is already eighteen years old. It's time to find him a good marriage."
Zhao Rui scratched his head and said, "Mom, I'm not in a hurry to get married now."
Xie Zhirong asked, "Didn't you write to urge me and your father to hurry back to Chang'an to arrange a marriage for you? Why aren't you in a hurry now?"
Zhao Rui said: "Seeing all my cousins trapped in love, I don't want to get married at all now."
Xie Zhixuan couldn't help but chuckled, "Come in and have your meal. You must have been tired from the journey."
Everyone went to the reception room.
The lunch was very sumptuous, and the Princess's Mansion also invited a ritual music troupe to sing music, which could be said to be treating the Ye family's uncle and aunt as distinguished guests.
Gu Ling also chatted with Ye Yuan about the Jiangnan cloth shop. Uncle Ye's family was a cloth shop, so when it came to business, Ye Yuan and Gu Ling had something to talk about.
Aunt Ye was a little timid in front of the distinguished person, and also she was thinking about Ye Wanhe, so she didn't talk much and just ate the food in front of her.
After the banquet, Ye Yuan stood up to say goodbye.
Xie Zhixuan said: "Uncle, I have prepared a courtyard for you in the mansion. You can just live in the princess's mansion."
Ye Yuan said: "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. We have already bought a house on West Street."
Xie Zhixuan chuckled and said, "That's fine. Xiangye, Yan'er, you can send your uncle and aunt to West Street and help them. When you come back after curfew, just show them the Princess Mansion token."
Yun Xiangye responded, "Yes, mother."
Yunxiang Yeben was worried about his uncle and aunt's residence, so he went to West Street with them.
The courtyard on West Street is not far from Su’s Dental Clinic.
The two-entry courtyard is small, but it is indeed large enough for the Ye family to live in.
Yun Xiangye helped Ye Zhimiao clean up the house and asked Aunt Ye, "Aunt, you bought a house in Chang'an this time. Are you going to live in Chang'an for a long time?"
Aunt Ye nodded and said, "Well, I plan to live in Chang'an for a long time. Although I can't see Wan He often, it's good to be closer to her..."
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she heard what Aunt Ye said.
--
In Tao Gong's villa.
As Ye Wanhe watched the sun set, she stretched her neck to look outside the door, expecting the palace maid to come and say that her parents had arrived.
After waiting for a long time, my parents did not come, but Zhao Yun came instead.
Zhao Yun saw the desolation in Ye Wanhe's eyes and said, "It's too late today. I'll let them come to see you tomorrow after I finish my morning court session."
Ye Wanhe said: "It's not dark yet, Your Highness... I haven't seen my parents for a long time."
Ye Wanhe said with tears in her eyes, "Please, let me go see them today."
