Chapter 169 I Will Never Let You Down
Yun Xiangye saw that Gu Yan didn't seem to be pretending, so she hurried to the side to get some warm water and handed it to Gu Yan, saying, "Drink some water first. I'll find someone to take you back to the princess's mansion."
Yun Xiangye was also afraid that Gu Yanzhen would die in her embroidery workshop.
Gu Yan grabbed Yun Xiangye's hand and coughed, "Don't... just bring some warm water to wipe my body."
Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "You should go back to the princess's mansion and let your maid clean you up."
Gu Yan said: "My illness is probably caused by you making me sleep on the floor when I was drunk. If I really lose my life, you will be the culprit who killed me. How will you face Nuonuo in the future?"
Yun Xiangye snorted, "You deserve it. I didn't allow you to enter the embroidery workshop, but you insisted on going there. If you die of a serious illness, it's your own fault."
Gu Yan coughed several times and was having trouble breathing.
Seeing this, Yun Xiangye went to get some warm water and wiped Gu Yan's limbs.
Gu Yan smiled at Yun Xiangye: "I know that you still have me in your heart."
Yun Xiangye pouted, "No way! I just thought that if you want to die, you can't die tonight. Tomorrow is my cousin's wedding day. If you die tonight, Nuonuo will have to wear mourning for you tomorrow and miss her cousin's wedding day."
Gu Yan listened to Yun Xiangye's words, but he was not annoyed. He just smiled faintly at Yun Xiangye.
Seeing Gu Yan's triumphant smile, Yun Xiangye handed the warm handkerchief to Gu Yan, "It's not like your hands or feet are broken, wipe it yourself."
Gu Yan took the warm towel and wiped himself to cool down.
Yun Xiangye returned to the big bed and fell asleep holding Nuonuo. She was worrying in vain that Gu Yan would die. It was not possible for Gu Yan to die so easily after being a scourge for thousands of years, especially since he had learned medical skills when he was young.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiangye fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Yun Xiangye woke up early in the morning and changed into a festive and bright pink dress. The dress that Nuonuo wore was of the same color and pattern as hers.
Yun Xiangye used red ropes to tie two buns on Nuonuo's hair, which was extremely cute and interesting.
After Nuonuo tied her hair into a bun, she ran to Gu Yan and asked, "Daddy, do I look good?"
Gu Yan touched Nuonuo's little hair and said, "Nuonuo is the most beautiful."
Nuonuo smiled and said, "What about mother?"
Gu Yan raised his eyes and looked at Yun Xiangye who was wearing a pink dress. "Your mother is a fairy from heaven."
Yun Xiangye said softly, "Slippery tongue, sweet talk."
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "In my heart, you are truly a fairy from heaven."
Yun Xiangye is indeed not as stunningly beautiful as her mother and sister, who appear to be stunning beauties at first glance.
But she looked a bit like the immortals in the portraits, which was very attractive.
Gu Yan stared at Yun Xiangye's face. Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, picked up Nuonuo and said, "We have to go to my cousin's house."
Gu Yanqiang propped himself up and said, "Wait, I'll go with you."
Yun Xiangye said: "If your illness has improved and you can attend the wedding banquet, then you can go back."
Gu Yan sat back on the couch and said, "No, I'm still seriously ill, so I won't go to the wedding banquet."
Yun Xiangye sneered, and carried Nuonuo to West Street. Today, the Su family in West Street was very lively.
When Yun Xiangye arrived, the place was already full of guests.
Yun Xiangye held Nuonuo and played in the yard, waiting for the bride to come in.
The bride arrived at dusk. As the sound of firecrackers and music rang out, Su Zhan came in holding a red silk ribbon.
Su Zhan is very handsome in red today. Xu Mengqi behind him is covering her face with a wedding fan so only half of her face can be seen. However, her tiara and glittering wedding dress are enough to show her wealth.
"Wow." Xiao Nuonuo sighed when he saw the bride.
Yun Xiangye watched them perform the ceremony and suddenly recalled her and Gu Yan's wedding ceremony, which was so hasty and perfunctory.
After the wedding ceremony, Yun Xiangye carried Nuonuo to the bridal chamber.
Normally, when a new bride enters the house, all the female relatives from the groom's family should go to accompany her.
Yun Xiangye also took Nuonuo to see Xu Mengqi. Yun Xiangye was not familiar with Xu Mengqi and had only met her two or three times. Today, when she saw Xu Mengqi, there was no joy of a newly married woman on her face.
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but sigh. Zhao Yun really made a mess of the matchmaking. Not only did he make things difficult for his cousin, he also hurt Xu Mengqi.
Seeing Nuonuo, Xu Mengqi smiled softly and said, "Little Princess."
Nuonuo looked at Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye smiled lightly and said, "Call me aunt."
Nuonuo walked up to Xu Mengqi and said, "Aunt, you are so beautiful."
Nuonuo stared at the delicate makeup on Xu Mengqi's face.
Xu Mengqi was naturally happy to be praised by a two-year-old child for her good looks, so she grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds from the side and gave them to Nuonuo.
When Nuonuo saw the golden melon seeds, she put them into her mouth.
Xu Mengqi held her soft little hand and said, "Little Princess, you can't eat this."
Yun Xiangye also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Nuonuo, mother will keep these for you, go and thank your aunt."
Xiao Nuonuo looked at Xu Mengqi and said, "Thank you, cousin."
Xu Mengqi chuckled and touched Nuonuo's little hair and said, "Nuonuo looks more like Prince Ning. So cute."
Yun Xiangye remembered that this new cousin-in-law had proposed marriage to Gu Yan before, so she just smiled and said, "Well, she looks more like Gu Yan. I also wish that cousin-in-law will give birth to a lovely baby soon."
Xu Mengqi said: "Yeah."
When Yun Xiangye heard footsteps outside, she knew it was Su Zhan coming, so she carried Nuonuo and went out first.
When Yun Xiangye saw that Su Zhan showed no joy when he entered, she recalled the day when she and Gu Yan got married. At that time, Gu Yan was probably seriously ill and there was no smile on his face.
Su Zhan walked into the house, drank the wedding wine with Xu Mengqi according to the rules, and ate glutinous rice balls according to the rules of Yongxing City.
Xu Mengqi took a bite of the glutinous rice ball, raised her eyes to look at Su Zhan, frowned slightly and said: "How come this is raw?"
The bridesmaid beside him smiled and said, "It's better to give birth."
Xu Mengqi frowned and looked at the bridesmaid: "I just married into your Su family, and you let me eat raw food?"
The bridesmaid smiled and said, "I want to give birth."
It took Xu Mengqi a while to realize that this marriage was not what she wanted, but she could not disobey the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Her mother had told her a lot about the wedding process, but Xu Mengqi didn't take it to heart at all. Now she just blushed when she heard about it.
When Su Zhan saw Xu Mengqi blushing shyly, he closed his eyes and shook off the thoughts in his mind, and let the matchmaker leave first.
There were only two people in the silent room.
Xu Mengqi raised her eyes to look at Su Zhan and said, "Su Zhan, it was not my original intention to marry you. I had previously thought that my husband should be a high-ranking official with tremendous power. If he was the best, I would make all the daughters of Chang'an City envy me for marrying well. Now I have to marry you, and you must not let me down in the future."
Su Zhan hummed: "Okay, I will never let you down in the future."

Inside the East Palace bedroom.
After Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun who was sleeping beside her, she walked to the window and looked at the stars in the sky. The Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and today was the wedding day of Su Zhan.
After today, she could no longer miss Su Zhan, even though that was the first love she had when she was young.
Su Zhan is very lucky. Xu Mengqi married a woman of lower status, while the Su family married a woman of higher status.
Ye Wanhe reached out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, only to hear a voice coming from behind her hand, "Today is Su Zhan's wedding, are you so sad?"
Ye Wanhe turned to see Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, you are wronging me. I was thinking that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and according to the custom of our Yongxing City, married daughters should go back to see their parents and give them gifts on the Dragon Boat Festival. I just felt that I was married for the first year, but I was not able to go back to visit my parents."
"If you want to visit the Wei family, I can go with you."
Ye Wanhe looked up into Zhao Yun's eyes and sneered, "Your Highness, you know exactly who I want to see."
Zhao Yun said: "I thought you knew who your parents were."
Zhao Yun walked to Ye Wanhe's side and said, "You are pregnant, don't sit here in the wind."
In the end, Ye Wanhe had no choice but to stand up with Zhao Yun. She closed her eyes and concealed the displeasure in them.
Zhao Yun said coldly: "Wanhe, I am showing you the position of Crown Princess, which is already a favor. Don't think too much about the rest."
Ye Wanhe opened her eyes again, snuggled in Zhao Yun's arms and said, "Well, I know your Highness's feelings for me, and that's enough."
