Chapter 22: Go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion Tomorrow
Zhao Jing frowned when he heard Gu Yan's words and said, "Gu Yan, you can't say that your cousin's wife is blind in the future."
Gu Yan said, "Apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is there any other man in this world who is better than you, my cousin? Isn't it just blindness that the woman doesn't want to marry you?"
Zhao Jing frowned and glanced at Gu Yan, "Don't talk about your cousin's wife anymore."
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "I wonder what kind of drug my future cousin-in-law gave you? She doesn't want to marry you, but you still protect her so much."
Zhao Jing didn't want his cousin to say that the girl he liked was short-sighted, so he talked to the prince about the affairs of the court.
Gu Yan waited for Zhao Jing to finish talking about state affairs with Zhao Yun. After seeing Zhao Jing leave, he looked at Zhao Yun and wanted to speak, but didn't know where to start.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yan and said.
Gu Yan said: "Your Highness...can you stop letting Aunt Ye take contraceptive pills?"
Zhao Yun raised his eyes indifferently and looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan said, "This is your private matter, I shouldn't say too much. Xiangye has been upset these past few days because I lied to her about my identity for three years. Now she knows that her cousin has been taking contraceptive pills for many years and is afraid that she will never have children again, so she took out all her anger on me."
Zhao Yun listened to Gu Yanzhi's words and frowned, "You are the Prince of Ning after all. How dare she, a merchant girl from a small town in Jiangnan, get angry and act so presumptuous in front of you?"
"Yun Xiangye is not worthy of you. If she still dares to act like a spoiled brat in front of you, you can just divorce her and marry another noblewoman who is equally matched with you."
Gu Yan said: "Your Highness, at least we still have Nuonuo. I can't let Nuonuo be without her mother."
Zhao Yun asked, "What do you mean by taking contraceptive pills for many years and being unable to have children?"
Gu Yan said: "My mother found out when she took Aunt Ye's pulse that she had taken too many contraceptive pills and now she has difficulty getting pregnant. If she takes them a few more times, she will never have children in this life."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly when he heard this, and he understood how his mother knew about his relationship with Wan He yesterday. "I know, you can leave now."
"That contraceptive medicine..."
Zhao Yun said: "From now on, there is no need to ask the pharmacy to send medicine to the East Palace."
"Yes." Gu Yan said, "Your Highness, I'm leaving now."
Zhao Yun watched Gu Yan leave, frowned slightly, and called out Wanhe.
It was the eunuch Li Quan who came in, "Your Highness, Aunt Ye is in the bedroom."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and went to the bedroom. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.
Seeing Ye Wanhe about to drink the contraceptive medicine, Zhao Yun went over and snatched the medicine bowl from her hand, "No need to drink it."
Ye Wanhe was startled. She turned around and saw that it was Zhao Yun. She bowed her head and said, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun placed the medicine on the table beside him and said, "You were previously in charge of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace. The Crown Princess will soon move into the Eastern Palace. You still have four months to take inventory of the warehouse and check the account books so that you won't be too busy when you take over in the future."
Ye Wanhe said, "I check the warehouse and account books every ten days to ensure that there are no mistakes in the accounts. When the Crown Princess receives the account books, she will be able to see everything clearly."
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Wanhe's submissive eyes, and felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, "You don't need to take this contraceptive medicine anymore in the future."
Ye Wanhe clenched her hands and said, "Your Highness...I have to take contraceptive pills."
Zhao Yun lowered his head and looked at Ye Wanhe. "You don't need to take medicine anymore. The princess told you yesterday when she examined your pulse that it's difficult for you to have children now. There's no need to take contraceptive medicine in the future."
Ye Wanhe knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, please have mercy on me and give me the medicine to prevent pregnancy."
Zhao Yun frowned when he saw Ye Wanhe kneeling at his feet and said, "If you take contraceptive pills again, you will never have children in your life."
Ye Wanhe's voice trembled as she said, "As a maid in the palace, I can only be childless in this life."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said, "You have always been obedient. Since I have already told you not to take the contraceptive pills, do you still dare to disobey the master?"
Ye Wanhe slowly raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Yun: "Your Highness, no matter how difficult it is, there is always a chance. What if there is another baby? Will Your Highness let me give birth to it?"
Zhao Yun's sword-like brows furrowed even more tightly. He lowered his head to glance at Ye Wanhe's belly, then said nothing more and turned away.
After seeing Zhao Yun leave, Ye Wanhe hurriedly picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. The black medicine did not taste the slightest bit bitter between her lips and teeth.
Compared to the heart-wrenching pain of losing a child, this medicine is not bitter at all.
--
The Princess's Mansion, in Qingfeng Garden.
After Yun Xiangye returned to the mansion from Chu Jing Pavilion, he asked Run'er to find the four palace maids and the nanny he brought from the palace yesterday.
Yun Xiangye looked at the beautiful maids and nurses in front of her and asked, "What were your original names and where did you work?"
The leading maid looked to be about thirty years old. She bowed and said, "My name is Yin Liu. I used to serve the Shang Gong Master in the Shang Gong Bureau. I am twenty-eight years old this year."
Yin Liu introduced them one by one: "This girl is Xueyan from the kitchen, this is Amber from the treasure room, Sulan from the embroidery room, and Xingtao from the kitchen. They are all just fifteen years old this year."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Xueyan, Amber, Sulan, Xingtao, your names are good, there is no need to change them.
Aunt Yinliu, I just came to Chang'an, and I am confused about everything in Chang'an City. I hope you can help me in the future."
"You are too polite, Princess. I will definitely serve you well in the future."
Yun Xiangye said: "You all go and do your own things first. I will call you if there is anything."
"yes."
After the maids left, Yun Xiangye and Xiao Nuonuo played with the cloth tiger doll.
At dusk, Gu Yan entered the room and saw the mother and daughter playing and laughing.
Seeing Yun Xiangye's long-lost smile, Gu Yan walked over to her and asked, "Did you buy any clothes or jewelry today?"
Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan and ignored him.
Gu Yan had no choice but to go find Nuonuo and reached out to hug Nuonuo: "Nuonuo, daddy will hold you."
Nuonuo just snorted at Gu Yan, hid in Yun Xiangye's arms, and looked at Gu Yan with a pouty mouth: "Ignore daddy."
"Nuonuo, you really can understand what mother says."
Yun Xiangye smiled with relief. The little kid who couldn't even speak yet could remember that she asked her to ignore her daddy.
Gu Yan frowned and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "You told your daughter to ignore me?"
Yun Xiangye held Nuonuo in her arms and ignored Gu Yan.
Gu Yan went forward to coax Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo."
Xiao Nuonuo moved her head away, snorted like Yun Xiangye, and ignored Gu Yan.
Yun Xiangye chuckled and touched her daughter's little face, then kissed her soft little face, "So good."
Seeing the same look on the mother and daughter's faces, Gu Yan said with both anger and laughter, "Xiang Ye, how could you let your daughter ignore me?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Who asked you to bully me?"
Gu Yan frowned, "How did I bully you?"
"How have you not bullied me?"
Gu Yan walked to Yun Xiangye's side and whispered in her ear: "I will not bully you too much in the bed tent in the future. I thought you also liked me bullying you..."
Yun Xiangye's ears felt hot, and she pushed Gu Yan away, saying angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?"
Gu Yan laughed and tried to take Nuonuo from Yun Xiangye's hands.
The soft little hands hugged Yun Xiangye tightly, "Ignore Daddy."
Gu Yan said to Nuonuo, "How can Nuonuo ignore daddy? I'll take you to buy candied haws later."
Xiao Nuonuo opened her round eyes and looked at Gu Yan, then at Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye knows that Nuonuo is not just after the candied haws, Nuonuo actually likes her father very much.
Yun Xiangye Ben never thought that Nuonuo would really understand her words and join her in ignoring Gu Yan. After all, she was not so childish as to join forces with her daughter to isolate Gu Yan.
Yun Xiangye nodded to Xiao Nuonuo, and Xiao Nuonuo reached out to let Gu Yan hold her.
Gu Yan picked up Nuonuo and said with a smile: "Daddy will take you to buy candied haws now."
Yun Xiangye said, "No, she has already eaten some candied haws in the afternoon and it's time for dinner. Let's go buy some tomorrow."
Xiao Nuonuo blinked and looked at Gu Yan pitifully.
Gu Yan compromised and said, "Okay, Dad will ask Qing Ming to buy some candied haws right away."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and said, "Gu Yan, you dote on Nuonuo too much."
Gu Yan said: "Nuonuo is the apple of my eye, how can I not love her?"
Yun Xiangye looked at Nuonuo who was laughing softly in Gu Yan's arms. She thought that it didn't matter if Gu Yan didn't have her in his heart, as long as he had Nuonuo in his heart, that was enough.
Even if her life in Chang'an was difficult, even if she was looked down upon by the noble ladies, even if she was mocked by Gu Yan's junior sisters and cousins for wronging Gu Yan...
For the sake of Nuonuo, just bear with it if you can.
Gu Yan said to Yun Xiangye: "By the way, you will go to the Prince Chu's Mansion with me tomorrow."
Yun Xiangye asked, "What are you going to do at the Prince Chu's Mansion?"
Gu Yan: "I met cousin Jing today. Speaking of which, you and Nuonuo have not yet paid a visit to Uncle Chu and Second Aunt. Second Aunt and my mother have always been good friends. We should go to visit Uncle and Aunt."
