Chapter 220: The Girl Zhao Rui Likes
Yun Xiangye came out of the East Palace and returned to the Princess's Mansion.
Not long after returning to the Princess's Mansion, Xie Zhixuan sent someone to Qingfeng Garden and asked her and Gu Yan to have dinner at the Prince of Wu's Mansion.
Yun Xiangye then realized that today was the full moon birthday of Xie Shian's child.
Xie Shian and Fu Qianran’s baby was one month old, so they didn’t invite many guests. They just asked their closest relatives to come and have a dinner.
Flowers are in full bloom in the pavilion of the Prince's Mansion.
Aunt Xie came over holding the newborn son of Xie Shian and Fu Qianran. The baby was only one month old, so soft and cute, so small.
Xie Zhixuan watched from the side and liked her very much, "This child looks more like Qianran."
Aunt Xie smiled and said, "She looks more like Qianran."
Yun Xiangye leaned over to take a look. The soft and cute little baby was so adorable that it would melt your heart.
Gu Yan picked up Xiao Nuonuo and said, "This is my little cousin."
Nuonuo clapped her hands blankly and smiled, "Little cousin."
Little Jingru stood on tiptoe and looked at the little kid and said, "This is Nuonuo's cousin. Mother, I don't have a cousin, I want a cousin too."
Xie Zhixuan chuckled and touched Xiao Jingru's head and said, "It's impossible for you to have a cousin."
"Why is it impossible?" Zhao Rui and his parents came from the door, "Who knows, maybe my parents will give you a little cousin."
Xie Zhirong reached out and grabbed Zhao Rui's ear and twisted it.
"It hurts!" Zhao Rui covered his ears and said, "Mom, it hurts!"
Xie Zhirong said, "You are talking nonsense. Instead of counting on your father and I to give birth to a younger brother, you should think about your cousins who already have children. What about you? You don't even know when you will get married!"
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "Your Highness intends to marry your newly adopted sister Yu Xihe to your cousin Rui."
When Zhao Rui heard this, he frowned and said, "Your Highness, why did you make the decision without even asking me? I won't marry someone with the surname Yu. I already have someone I like!"
Yun Xiangye listened to Zhao Rui's words and looked up at him.
Xie Zhirong said: "The girl you like is unlucky for eight lifetimes."
Xie Zhixuan chuckled and said, "Arong, is there anyone who would talk about his own son like that?"
Zhao Rui smiled and said, "Aunt is still the best."
Xie Zhixuan chuckled and said, "When did you find a girl you liked? Which girl?"
Zhao Rui lowered his head and said, "I'd better not say anything. She hasn't agreed to my going to her house to propose marriage. I'm afraid that if I tell her, it will ruin her reputation and I'll be beaten out by her father and brother. I'm going to the East Palace to find His Highness and I can't let him grant me a marriage."
Prince Xiang stopped Zhao Rui and said, "As a prince of the royal family, who dares to hit you with a stick? Just tell me. Your elders are all here today, and we will help you."
Gu Jingyu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Cousin, you dare not say it, is it because you still like my brother who wears women's clothes..."
Zhao Rui recalled the embarrassing incident and said hurriedly, "No!"
Gu Yan glared at Gu Jingyu secretly, while Yun Xiangye smiled gently beside him.
Zhao Rui said: "I can't say, her father may not dare to hit me with a stick, but Yizhi is really..."
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It turned out to be her."
Zhao Rui quickly covered his mouth.
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Who is it?"
Gu Yan said: "Lin Bolan's brother's name is Yizhi. This guy actually fell in love with Junior Sister Lin."
Yun Xiangye looked at Zhao Rui and had to admit that all the members of Gu Yan's family looked good. However, no matter how good Zhao Rui looked, it would be unfair to Lin Bolan if he wanted to marry her.
Xie Zhirong laughed and said, "If you can really bring Lin Bolan back to be my daughter-in-law, I will never blame you in the future."
The King of Xiang also smiled and said, "I won't blame you either."
Zhao Rui said: "I won't tell you for now. I have to go find His Highness as soon as possible. It will be troublesome if he issues an order to grant marriage."
Zhao Rui left Prince Wu's Mansion in a hurry.
Yun Xiangye went to Fu Qianran's house. Although the child was already a month old, Fu Qianran was in the late confinement period and had not yet fully come out of it.
When I entered the house, I saw the two sisters Fu Qianran and Fu Anran.
"Sister Xiangye." Fu Anran raised her eyes and looked at Yun Xiangye. "The clothes you sent me are all very beautiful. Look at this dress I'm wearing. Everyone praises me for being beautiful when I wear it."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "You are naturally beautiful. It is my honor to have you wear the clothes I made."
Yun Xiangye put the supplements she brought aside and said, "These are all supplements. I ate them well after giving birth to Nuonuo. Don't despise them."
Fu Qianran smiled and said, "I don't mind."
Yun Xiangye was chatting with Fu Qianran about children, and when she thought of Nuonuo when she was a child, she immediately started talking again.
Fu Anran was bored standing aside. Seeing that it was getting late, she stood up and said, "Sister, I'll leave first."
Yun Xiangye said, "It's almost time for dinner, why are you leaving now?"
Fu Anran lowered his head and whispered to Yun Xiangye, "My grandfather said that our Fu family is a noble family and would not associate with relatives who were born as singing girls. I came here secretly today."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and said, "Even if Aunt Xie was born a singer, she was also the Princess of Wu County conferred by His Majesty. How can the Fu family..."
Fu Qianran sneered and said, "In the final analysis, I have become a discarded pawn of the Fu family. Now only Second Aunt and An Ran care about me."
Fu Anran said: "Sister, I'm going back first."
Fu Qianran nodded and asked her personal maid to take Fu Anran back to the Fu family.
Yun Xiangye said: "Even if my aunt has a bad background, my uncle and cousin Shi An are both important officials in the court and are highly valued by His Majesty and His Highness. Why does the Fu family think that you are a useless pawn?"
Fu Qianran said, "I can't become the Crown Princess. I was rejected by the Crown Prince, which ruined their plan for many years. I was already abandoned. Later, when the Dali Temple was handling my brother's case, they also arrested several Fu family disciples. The Fu family asked me to ask Shi An for mercy, but I didn't want to, so I was rejected by the Fu family. I thought that marrying my father a concubine would reconcile with him, but I was overthinking it."
Yun Xiangye consoled her, "You just gave birth to a child, the most important thing is to take care of yourself and be happy."
Fu Qianran smiled gently at Yun Xiangye and said, "Well, I've let go of the Fu family a long time ago. Now that the child is born, my life is pretty good."
Yun Xiangye smiled, helped Fu Qianran up and went to the dining room.
There were not many relatives in the Xie family, and men and women sat at two tables separately, laughing and chatting happily.
Yun Xiangye hadn't experienced such a scene of relatives and friends gathering together for a long time. She looked at Nuonuo who was eating red eggs beside her and smiled gently.

Inside the East Palace.
Zhao Rui hurried to the East Palace. Zhao Yun had just returned to the East Palace bedroom and picked up little Yuer.
When Zhao Rui saw Zhao Yun, he hurriedly said, "Brother Emperor, I don't want to marry Miss Yu. I already have a lover. Please don't grant me a marriage."
When Zhao Yun saw Zhao Rui gasping for breath, he could imagine how anxious he was.
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Rui and said, "Oh? Who is the girl you like?"
Zhao Rui scratched his head and said, "I can't tell you for now. It concerns her reputation."
Zhao Yun said, "What can't you say in front of me? I won't ruin the reputation of that girl. Which rich girl can catch your eye?"
Zhao Rui walked to Zhao Yun and whispered his name in his ear.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't you look in the mirror?"
Zhao Rui said, "Brother, why don't I look in the mirror? Tell me, in this Chang'an City, besides you, is there any other man who is more noble than me, more handsome than me? How did she lose out by marrying me? I dare to say this only after looking in the mirror."
Zhao Yun said, "Don't even think about asking the Emperor to grant you a marriage with Junior Sister Lin."
Zhao Rui smiled and said, "Of course not. I won't use the marriage proposal to force Sister Lin. I will make her willingly marry me."
Ye Wanhe lowered her eyes slightly. It seemed that Xiangye was right. Prince Rui had high standards. Her sister could only look for another husband.
After Zhao Rui said goodbye, Zhao Yun said to Ye Wanhe, "He is really good at choosing. After so much choosing, he actually chose Lin Bolan. If Lin Bolan hadn't been a little younger at the time..."
Seeing Zhao Yun pause, Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "She was chosen to be the Crown Princess."
