Chapter 165: Nuonuo needs a father after all
Yun Xiangye gave some rice cakes to Lin Bolan to try, and then she went to West Street.
Inside West Street, my uncle and aunt were discussing going back to West Street to do their old business of selling cloth. The money they brought was not much, and they couldn't just sit back and enjoy all the money.
The shops on West Street are not as busy as those on Jinxiu Street, but there are many peddlers and hawkers, and the people in Chang'an City also like to hang out on West Street. It is not difficult to open a shop and sell cloth to support a family.
Yun Xiangye also thought that her embroidery workshop could also purchase fabrics from her uncle's house, so her uncle would not lose money in business.
Ye Zhimiao no longer made a fuss about Ye Wanhe these days. Instead, he spent the whole day at home holding a handkerchief and lost in thought.
Yun Xiangye walked to Ye Zhimiao's side and smiled gently, "Your handkerchief is embroidered with exquisite craftsmanship, it's not like an ordinary thing."
Yun Xiangye saw the word "Xiang" on the embroidery on the handkerchief and frowned slightly, saying, "Is this something that belongs to the Prince of Xiang?"
Ye Zhimiao quickly put away the handkerchief and said, "No."
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Zhimiao and said, "The reason why the Prince of Xiang has not married yet is because he has very high standards. You must not fall in love with him."
Ye Zhimiao frowned and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Cousin, I'm not... How could I be attracted to him? I was just looking at the exquisite embroidery on the handkerchief."
Yun Xiangye was relieved. "The Xiangjun Palace is too prestigious. I hope you don't do anything stupid."
Ye Zhimiao, who was listening to Yun Xiangye's words, frowned, "The threshold of admission to the Prince of Xiang's Mansion is high, and I am not necessarily inferior to him. It's just that I am not as greedy and vain as Ye Wanhe."
Yun Xiangye said: "Sister is not greedy for fame and fortune, she is just forced into it. She doesn't want to marry the Crown Prince at all. Everything is forced."
Ye Zhimiao sneered: "If she was really forced, she should die to prove her loyalty."
Yun Xiangye said: "If she died because she rejected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you would be implicated."
Ye Zhimiao said: "Cousin, you don't need to defend her, she just wants money and power."
Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "Sister is definitely not that kind of person."

Outside the East Palace.
Lin Bolan had just got off the carriage and was still eating the rice cake in the food box. She was about to put the remaining brown sugar rice cake into the carriage when she saw Zhao Rui coming.
Zhao Rui smiled when he saw Lin Bolan eating with his cheeks puffed out. "What are you eating? It's rare to see you eating outside."
Lin Bolan said, "I ate brown sugar rice cakes. Miss Yun gave them to me this morning. I was thinking I would eat them in the carriage when I got hungry after leaving the palace. I tried a piece and it tasted pretty good."
Zhao Rui took a piece of rice cake dipped in brown sugar from Lin Bolan's hand in a familiar manner, "It's sweet and sticky, very delicious, give me the rest."
Lin Bolan said: "If you want to eat, go ask Miss Yun for it yourself."
Zhao Rui said: "How dare I go to see her?"
Lin Bolan snatched the food box from Zhao Rui's hand, "This is what Miss Yun gave me. If you want to eat, go get it yourself. How can you steal it from me?"
Zhao Rui said, "I gave you five paintings by Mr. Hongyun, and you won't even give me a rice cake? Give me the rice cake quickly."
Lin Bolan: "That's all I have. I was thinking of using it to fill my stomach on the way back from the East Palace."
"The East Palace cannot do without your cakes." Zhao Rui looked at Lin Bolan and said, "You are the daughter of the Prime Minister after all. Isn't it shameful to be so greedy for a box of rice cakes?"
Lin Bolan was speechless. "You are still a prince of the royal family. Are you ashamed to snatch rice cakes from me?"
"Sister, how can you speak to the Prince of Xiang like this?"
When Lin Bolan saw his brother and Xie Shian coming out of the East Palace, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Brother, Brother Shian."
Xie Shian looked at Zhao Rui and asked, "What were you arguing about with Miss Lin at the palace gate?"
Zhao Rui said: "I wanted to eat her rice cake, but she didn't want to give it to me. This rice cake tastes completely different from the rice cakes I've eaten before."
Xie Shian looked at Zhao Rui helplessly and laughed: "How can a prince be so greedy? You are almost at the age of coming of age, how can you be as greedy as a two-year-old child."
Lin Yu looked at Lin Bolan and said, "Sister, give the rice cake to Zhao Rui."
Lin Bolan reluctantly handed the rice cake in his hand to Zhao Rui and went to the East Palace by himself.
The palace beside the East Palace Lake was tidied up by Ye Wanhe's order and was used for her calligraphy.
Seeing Lin Bolan come in with an unhappy look on her face, Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "Who has upset you?"
Lin Bolan frowned and said, "It's Zhao Rui. It was fine that he bullied me when he was a kid, but now that he's almost 20 years old, he's still trying to steal my rice cakes."
Ye Wanhe smiled and said, "It's just rice cake, not something precious."
Lin Bolan said, "This rice cake tastes different from the ones I've had before. Miss Yun originally asked me to bring it to you, saying it was rice cake from your hometown. But you're pregnant, so I didn't dare bring you food easily, so Miss Yun gave me the rice cake."
Ye Wanhe smiled and said, "The rice cakes in Fangqiao Town are made with late japonica rice, and the rice cakes in Chang'an City are rare to begin with. Some of them are mostly made of glutinous rice, which is indeed not as delicious as the rice cakes made with late japonica rice. I will ask the chef of the East Palace to make rice cakes with late japonica rice some other day, and you can try it too."
Naturally, Ye Wanhe did not dare to eat the food that Yun Xiangye brought into the palace, but it was not that she did not trust Yun Xiangye.
But he was afraid that he would be framed on the road and it would harm Xiangye.
Lin Bolan said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Crown Princess. Crown Princess, can you please not give the rice cakes to Zhao Rui?"
Ye Wanhe chuckled lightly and said, "Yeah."

Inside Su’s Dental Clinic on West Street.
Aunt Yun ate the rice cakes that Yun Xiangye brought and said, "It's been a long time since I've had the authentic Yongxing water-milled rice cakes. They're delicious. Why did you think of making rice cakes at this time?"
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "Nuonuo wants to eat. I don't know who she inherited this from, she is so greedy."
Yun Xiangye smiled and touched Nuonuo's little face.
Aunt Yun also smiled and said, "You were also very greedy when you were little, Xiangye. Last time, I told you about the second marriage. I really found a good husband for you, Hu Feng, the leader of the North City Horse Gang..."
Yun Xiangye said hurriedly, "Aunt, I'm really not in a hurry to get married again."
Aunt Yun said, "Don't rush to get married again. It's good to get along with each other. Hu Feng is a good kid. I heard from Hu Yun that Fang'er's mother looks like you. Fang'er likes you very much. Nuonuo can have another brother to keep her company..."
Yun Xiangye was quite helpless: "Aunt, I really don't want to..."
Before Yun Xiangye could finish her words, she heard Gu Yan's voice coming from the door: "Aunt."
Aunt Yun looked at Gu Yan and Su Zhan at the door, her face not looking too good, "Prince Ning, I can't bear to be called your aunt."
Gu Yan entered, picked up Nuonuo and said with a faint smile: "Aunt, you are Nuonuo's great aunt. You are my aunt in this life."
Aunt Yun looked at Gu Yan's smile and said, "How come Prince Ning has time to come to my little temple today?"
Gu Yan said: "Nuonuo has been clinging to me these past few days. I was afraid that Nuonuo would cry if she couldn't see me, so I came to your house to bother you."
Aunt Yun saw that Gu Yan was very friendly and did not have any airs of the Prince of Ning, so she did not respond coldly. She just looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, think carefully about what Auntie just said. Nuonuo needs a father after all."
Gu Yan said: "Aunt, Nuonuo has a father."
Aunt Yun said, "Prince Ning, although our Su family is not a wealthy family, it is not difficult for us to support Xiangye and Nuonuo. If you really think of yourself as a father, why do you bully my Xiangye? Although Xiangye has no father or mother, she is not without relatives."
Gu Yan admitted his fault in a low voice, "It's my fault. I really didn't care enough about Xiangye before. Aunt, I will definitely treat Xiangye well in the future. I won't let her suffer any grievances around me, and I won't let her be deceived in the slightest."
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "I promise in front of my aunt and cousin today that if I deceive you again in the future, I will die a miserable death. Heaven and earth are my witnesses. Please follow me back."
