Chapter 212: The Crown Princess Was Deposed
When Yu Xihe heard the name Ye Wanhe, she looked towards the direction where the voice came from, but the screen blocked her view.
Xie Zhixuan looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Yun'er, you have a grudge against Wanhe, so you can punish her however you want, but you shouldn't threaten Wanhe by not wanting to see the child. Giving birth is not easy for women, not to mention the pain of pregnancy for ten months, Wanhe went through the gates of hell when she gave birth to Yu'er."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Queen Wei looked at Yu Xihe and said with a faint smile: "Come and sit next to me."
Yu Xihe hurriedly whispered, "Queen, I dare not."
Queen Wei chuckled and said, "I won't eat you. Come here quickly."
Yu Xihe glanced at Zhao Yun before walking to Queen Wei and sitting next to her chair.
Queen Wei looked at Yu Xihe carefully and said, "You have a beautiful appearance, why haven't your family arranged a marriage for you at this age?"
Yu Xihe whispered, "There were a few families who came to propose marriage before, but my parents thought I was too young and wanted to keep me for two years."
Queen Wei asked again: "Have you ever read any books?"
Yu Xihe said: "Before my father passed the imperial examination, he was a teacher. I just learned a few words from him."
Queen Wei smiled and said, "I heard that you recognized the Crown Prince's handwriting?"
Yu Xihe nodded and said, "Well, I like calligraphy, so I pay more attention to the well-written characters."
"Oh? You like calligraphy? Write some calligraphy for me to see."
Queen Wei stood up and asked someone to bring writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
Yu Xihe picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and wrote two lines: It is hard to give up one's natural beauty, once chosen to be by the emperor's side. When she turns around and smiles, she is full of charm, and all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison.
When Queen Wei saw Yu Xihe's handwriting, she smiled and said, "It's rare for my daughter's family to have someone as good at handwriting as you. It's true that a person's handwriting reflects his character."
Yu Xihe said shyly: "Thank you for the compliment, Queen."
Queen Wei said: "When you turn around and smile, you are full of charm. All the beauties in the palace pale in comparison. This is just right for you."
Yun Xiangye was standing next to Xie Zhixuan, and seeing how Empress Wei loved Yu Xihe and praised her with these words, she couldn't help but think too much.
When Yun Xiangye turned around to see what Zhao Yun meant, he was nowhere to be seen. She didn't know when Zhao Yun was no longer in the Fengyi Palace.
In the inner hall, Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun who came in, and hurriedly hugged Yu'er tightly in her arms.
Zhao Yun saw Ye Wanhe's appearance and said, "You don't have to be wary of me as if I were a human trafficker."
Ye Wanhe held the baby tightly in her arms and still looked at Zhao Yun with a wary look.
Zhao Yun looked at the soft baby in Ye Wanhe's arms, and gently stroked Yu'er's face. "Since you want Yu'er so much, why don't you consider Yu'er's future and dare to commit such a heinous crime?"
When the inner hall fell into silence, one could hear from the Fengyi Palace hall outside that Queen Wei's words, "All the beauties in the harem pale in comparison, and this is just the right description for you."
Ye Wanhe said slowly: "Congratulations, Your Highness."
Zhao Yun frowned and asked, "What are you congratulating me for?"
Ye Wanhe lowered her voice and said, "That Miss Yu outside saved you and you are indebted to her. Your Highness should repay her kindness. Since her beauty is beyond comparison among all the beauties in the palace, Your Highness should pledge your love to her."
"Are you jealous?" Zhao Yun whispered.
Ye Wanhe said: "Miss Yu is the daughter of the prefect after all. Letting her be a concubine in the Eastern Palace will not bring shame to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace."
Zhao Yun couldn't help but sneer when he heard the sarcasm in Ye Wanhe's words.
Ye Wanhe carried Yu'er to the main hall. She looked at Yu Xihe. A sixteen-year-old girl was at her most beautiful. Although her face had not fully grown yet, it was clear that she would be a great beauty in the future.
Sixteen years old is indeed the best age in life.
She entered the Eastern Palace at the age of sixteen and stayed there for ten years...
Ten years have passed.
Yu Xihe saw Zhao Yun coming out and said, "Brother Yun, this is the calligraphy I just wrote. Can you give me some advice?"
Zhao Yun said, "If you want to get advice on calligraphy, you have to go to Prince Ning. His calligraphy and painting are very famous in Chang'an."
Yu Xihe said, "I don't dare to show off my skills in front of Prince Ning. Brother Yan, can you tell me where I can improve?"
Zhao Yun walked forward and took a look, pointing out to Yu Xihe which strokes needed improvement. While teaching Yu Xihe, he recalled a scene when he was teaching Ye Wanhe to write.
Ye Wanhe had lied to herself that she couldn't write, but he taught her every stroke.
Now thinking about Ye Wanhe's appearance at that time, it was not that she couldn't write. She just pretended that she couldn't write so as to avoid trouble in the palace.
When Zhao Yun thought about the time when he taught Ye Wanhe how to write, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
Queen Wei was very satisfied with this scene.
Ye Wanhe then held Yu'er and bowed as she retreated.
After Ye Wanhe left, Zhao Yun also said goodbye and left, and Yu Xihe followed Zhao Yun.
Xie Zhixuan watched Yu Xihe leave and looked at Queen Wei, "Sister-in-law."
Queen Wei smiled as she looked at Xie Zhixuan and said, "This Yu Xihe is beautiful, sweet-talking, and has beautiful handwriting. She can make people happy, and most importantly, she is young and lovely. Yun'er brought her from Jiangnan to Chang'an and allowed her to call him Brother Yun. I believe he has a special affection for her."
Xie Zhixuan said: "Sister-in-law, from what you said, you want Miss Yu to enter the Eastern Palace? But mother's last wish..."
Queen Wei said: "I know my mother's last wish that her descendants should not have three wives and four concubines. Even if Yun'er is the Crown Prince, she should not have three wives and four concubines. However, Ye Wanhe has committed such a serious mistake. Even if her life can be spared, it is really not suitable for her to be the Crown Princess.
This lively, cheerful and lovable Yu Xihe is much better than the cold-blooded and vicious Ye Wanhe. Let Yun'er and Yu Xihe get along well for a while. When Yun'er falls in love with Yu Xihe, Ye Wanhe's position as Crown Princess can be abolished naturally."
Yun Xiangye heard this and rubbed the nail polish on her fingernails.
Xie Zhixuan said: "Yun'er may not change her mind."
Queen Wei said: "In the final analysis, Yun'er's feelings towards Ye Wanhe are just out of habit and dependence. He truly loves Yu Xihe."
Xie Zhixuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we'll take our leave first."
Queen Wei realized the identity of Yun Xiangye who was next to Xie Zhixuan, so she didn't say anything more.
After Xie Zhixuan left the palace, she looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Don't worry too much. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not abolish the Crown Princess."
Yun Xiangye said: "Sister didn't want the position of Crown Princess in the first place. Abolishing the position of Crown Princess is not necessarily a bad thing for Sister."
--
Ye Wanhe had just returned to the East Palace bedroom with her child when she heard the voices of "Brother Yan" coming from outside the door.
"Brother Yan, your East Palace is so majestic."
"Brother Yan, I was afraid that the Queen would be too high up and difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect that the Queen would be so kind and amiable."
"Brother Yan..."
Ye Wanhe was in the bedroom, listening to Yu Xihe's sweet voice calling him "Brother Yan" and couldn't help but find it funny.
Yu Xihe is now the prefect of Yuezhou and the daughter of an official. How could she be so ignorant of the rules and so naive as to call the prince "Brother Yun"?
As for Zhao Yun, he was very annoyed when he called him by his full name, and he did not stop Yu Xihe from calling him by his full name.
