Chapter 187: Another Wedding Ceremony with Gu Yan
There was a slight autumn breeze on the night of August 15th, and the round, bright moon hung high in the sky.
The Queen, along with the princesses, dukes, and ladies of honor who had come to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, performed the ceremony of worshiping the moon.
Yun Xiangye held Nuonuo and participated in the moon worship ceremony together. After the moon worship, according to the rules, she washed Nuonuo's eyes and hands with tea, wishing Nuonuo to have bright eyes and dexterous hands.
After the moon worship, several children played together. Although Jingru was not the oldest, she was the king of the children. With Jingru playing with Nuonuo, Yun Xiangye was not afraid that other children would bully Nuonuo.
Yun Xiangye just stood by and watched Nuonuo playing with these royal children.
Xie Zhixuan walked to Yun Xiangye's side. Yun Xiangye heard the noise, bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Princess."
Xie Zhixuan smiled faintly and said, "You should just call me mother."
"Yes, mother." Yun Xiangye agreed.
Xie Zhixuan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. After the palace banquet is over, come home with us."
Yun Xiangye whispered: "Mother, I..."
Xie Zhixuan saw Yun Xiangye's dilemma and said angrily, "Gu Yan hasn't coaxed you yet? It's been several months? Does he still want this wife? He's almost 22 years old..."
Yun Xiangye whispered again: "No, mother, Gu Yan... I have forgiven Gu Yan for what he did before, but it's good not to get married now. I don't need to be thought of as unworthy of Gu Yan by others, and I don't need to listen to those words that belittle me, and I don't need to be looked down upon..."
Xie Zhixuan said, "The more this is the case, the more you shouldn't back down. Why are you not worthy of Gu Yan? I'm your mother-in-law, and I never said you were not worthy of Gu Yan. Why do you care about other people's gossip?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Mother, I would not care about other people's gossip. My family only has two daughters, my sister and I. I have heard more unpleasant things in Fangqiao Town. However, in your house, it is Gu Yan's cousins who look down on me and do not respect me...
And Gu Yan... like you, he also thinks that this disrespect is unnecessary, but for me, I don't covet the power of the Princess's Mansion at all. Why should the status of Prince Ning's Consort be belittled?"
Xie Zhixuan said slowly: "This is my fault."
"I don't dare..." Yun Xiangye said hurriedly, "No..."
Xie Zhixuan smiled and said, "It's my fault. I'm usually busy curing patients in the pharmacy, and Jingru is young. Sometimes I finally get some free time, and I can't take care of Yan'er and you, let alone the nonsense of those people outside.
I have never established your authority outside. I always thought that since you were the housekeeper, we would respect you in our family. I really didn't expect that when you first arrived in Chang'an, many people would be jealous of you behind your back and want to laugh at you.
It was indeed my negligence. Zhao Rui didn't really want you to be divorced. He just wanted to have fun. Afterwards, his parents gave him a good lesson. He has now fled to Xiangcheng. Otherwise, I would have asked him to come and kowtow to you and apologize."
Yun Xiangye said: "This can't be entirely blamed on Zhao Rui, it's Gu Yan..."
Xie Zhixuan smiled and said, "It's right that you don't want to come back. We didn't give you the respect you deserved. I still owe you a wedding gift, so many people think you can be bullied by them.
I didn't know when you married Gu Yan. By the time I found out, you were already pregnant, and the wedding was delayed.
Then, at the end of the year, I will hold a grand wedding ceremony for you and Yan'er, and announce to the whole of Chang'an that you belong to the Princess's Mansion, and no one can look down on you anymore."
Yun Xiangye lowered his head and said: "This..."
Xie Zhixuan said softly: "Believe in mother, and give mother and Gu Yan another chance."
Yun Xiangye lowered her head and pursed her lips as she looked at Xie Zhixuan, "Yeah."
She might as well take another gamble, even if it was just for the sake of Nuonuo who was laughing happily.
After Yun Xiangye finished talking to Xie Zhixuan, she went to look for Ye Wanhe, but Ye Wanhe was next to the Crown Prince, so Yun Xiangye couldn't get close to her and had to give up.
After coming out of the palace.
Nuonuo was sleeping soundly in Gu Yan's arms.
After getting on the carriage, Gu Yan said to Yun Xiangye: "When I went to the Ye family just now, Ye Li told me that he has a girl he likes."
Yun Xiangye asked: "Oh? Who?"
Gu Yan said: "It's Run'er."
Yun Xiangye raised an eyebrow and smiled softly, "This is a good marriage, why didn't Ye Li tell me earlier?"
Gu Yan said: "Ye Li wanted to marry Run'er when he was in Fangqiao Town, but Run'er wanted to follow you to Chang'an, forcing Ye Li not to tell anyone about this. Run'er is very loyal to you."
Yun Xiangye smiled gently and said, "Run'er is definitely loyal. So, let's wait until your sister's child is born before deciding on this wedding."
Gu Yan said: "Why do we have to wait until my sister's child is born to decide the marriage? The sooner we decide on the marriage, the sooner Run'er can get married."
Yun Xiangye snorted softly, "You are so anxious, but I can't bear to leave my Run'er."
"You couldn't even bear to let Run'er marry Ye Li. If Nuonuo gets married in the future, won't you cry your eyes out?" Gu Yan joked.
Yun Xiangye said: "It's still too early."
Gu Yan chuckled and took Yun Xiangye into his arms, whispering, "I've checked, there are many days suitable for marriage this winter, so let Run'er get married soon, and the Ye family can have more children soon."
Yun Xiangye said: "I'm afraid it won't work this year."
Gu Yan asked: "Why?"
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yan, "Because mother said that she wanted to hold a grand wedding ceremony for you and me again."
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yun Xiangye with surprise and said, "Are you willing to marry me again? Marry me again?"
Without waiting for Yun Xiangye's reply, Gu Yan lowered his head and kissed Yun Xiangye's red lips. Today was truly the biggest happy event.
Yun Xiangye looked into Gu Yan's eyes for a while before saying, "Gu Yan, I forgave you so easily for the harm you caused me because I loved you for being so nice to me these past few days. If after we get married you continue to despise me, ignore me, and not care about me like you did when you first came to Chang'an City, I will still divorce you..."
Gu Yan rested his forehead against Yun Xiangye's and said, "Yeah, I love you too."
Yun Xiangye said: "Did you hear me? I said I would still divorce you!"
Gu Yan said: "I only heard you say you love me, say it a few more times..."
Yun Xiangye leaned close to Gu Yan's ear and said, "I love you."
Gu Yan said: "I love you too."
Yun Xiangye whispered something into Gu Yan's ear again.
Gu Yan didn't understand and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said, I am happy to hear that." Yun Xiangye smiled faintly, "It means that Yongxing City likes you."
Gu Yan imitated Yun Xiangye and said, "Are you happy?"
Yun Xiangye did not correct Gu Yan's strange pronunciation, and smiled and said, "Yeah."
Yun Xiangye looked into Gu Yan's eyes and said, "Gu Yan, please don't let me down again this time. If you let me down again, I will never give you any chance again."
"No, how dare I let you down?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "When I was young, I saw that in other people's families, the mothers were afraid of the fathers, but in my family, the father was afraid of the mother, and the grandfather was afraid of the grandmother. At that time, I didn't understand why my grandfather and father were so afraid of their wives. Now I know. It turns out that love is also fear..."
