Chapter 253 Mid-Autumn Festival
In August, the weather gradually turns cooler.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to marry the Crown Princess. Such a grand event has not happened in the entire Yongxing City for hundreds of years.
A princess consort appeared in the city, and the people in the entire city seemed to be proud of her.
However, the business of the Yun family's dyeing factory plummeted. Many relatives, friends and neighbors laughed at the Yun family for bullying the two orphans. Now the Ye family has a crown princess. Even if the Ye family did not have a crown princess, Yun Xiangye was the prince's consort of Prince Ning.
Everyone in the Yun family was really embarrassed by what they heard, and there were constant quarrels at home all day long.
Yun Xiangye heard Chen Qinglai talking to her about the Yun family in the palace. She just smiled and said, "They deserved it."
Chen Qing smiled faintly and said, "They bullied you so much back then, and now it is really their evil deeds that have paid off."
While the two were talking, Xiao Nuonuo caught a pigeon and brought it in.
Yun Xiangye saw Xiao Nuonuo carrying a pigeon into the room and chuckled, "How did Nuonuo catch a pigeon? This one seems to be a carrier pigeon, and there is a letter underneath it."
Nunuo said: "Daddy's pigeon."
When Yun Xiangye heard Nuonuo say this, she took out a bamboo tube from the small bamboo tube underneath and saw the letter paper inside.
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly. Now that they had arrived in Lizhou City, it was indeed inconvenient to ask someone to deliver the letter, so they used pigeons instead. However, the pigeons needed to fly back to see if they could recognize the way.
So it was delayed for a few more days.
Yun Xiangye wrote a letter back to Gu Yan, asking him to take care of himself.
It is Mid-Autumn Festival again. This year, Yun Xiangye and Yun Shuangbai both went to the Ye family to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Tomorrow is Ye Wanhe's wedding day. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and the full moon, so the Ye family is particularly lively.
Nuonuo loves mooncakes very much, but Yun Xiangye doesn't dare to let her eat too much. She looks at the full moon, wondering whether Gu Yan, who is thousands of miles away, has celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I don’t know if he looked up at the bright moon.
The waves were surging and the wind was howling. The army set up camp in a valley in Lizhou.
When the hurricane came, the army and Wei Jianzhi's rebels had to cease fighting. After all, a hurricane at the seaside could blow away houses.
Gu Yan deliberately found a valley to set up camp in order to withstand the fierce storm behind.
Gu Yan raised his eyes to look at the full moon. The dense layers of clouds appeared white even in the dark night. The strong wind blew the clouds, and the full moon was looming among the clouds.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Yun Xiangye doesn't know where she will celebrate it, but she thinks she will be at Ye's house with Ye Wanhe to celebrate the first Mid-Autumn Festival after more than ten years of separation, or perhaps the last one.
After all, as the Crown Princess, Ye Wanhe will no longer be able to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future.
"General, we found a group of thieves in the city distributing sesame cakes to the people in the city. Those sesame cakes seem to be the rations of Wei Jian's army camp! They are being chased by Wei Jian's army now. Can we go and rescue them?"
Gu Yan heard his men report: "Help!"
Lizhou City is close to the sea, and the food is actually not abundant. The people here don't have many grain fields. When Wei Jian attempted to start a rebellion, he plundered the people in the city.
When the weather was calm, even if there was a war in the city, they could still go out to sea to fish to fill their stomachs regardless of the danger. But now a violent storm was about to hit, so it was not convenient for them to go out to sea to fish.
The people in the city will have no food to eat, and Gu Yan's own military rations are only enough for the army to eat for half a month. They still need to wait for supplies from the back. They can only use one day's military rations to provide emergency relief to the people in the city, but it is far from enough.
Now someone has stolen food from Wei Jian’s military camp and can distribute it to the people in the city, so naturally they have to rescue them.
The next morning, Gu Yancai saw his subordinates bringing in a few "little thieves" who had stolen Wei Jian's military rations.
Gu Yan saw the young man in the lead, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Qin Hong."
Gu Yan looked at the young man in front of him and found his words very strange, so he asked, "How did you steal the military rations from Wei Jian's camp?"
Qin Hong asked: "Are you the Prince Gu Yan?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I am."
"Can I speak to you alone?"
Gu Yan signaled the other generals around him to retreat.
After Qin Hong saw everyone leave, he said, "Sir, I was originally a secret guard beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Yan frowned and looked at Qin Hong and said, "You are the secret guard beside His Highness, why are you in Lizhou?"
Qin Hong said: "Because Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess looks a lot like my elder sister. She is very similar to my elder sister. After I learned that she gave Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince a fake death drug, I just wanted to help her."
Gu Yan snorted and said, "I just wondered how the Crown Princess could have planned the Crown Prince's fake death without anyone noticing. It turns out that you, a traitor, are helping her."
Qin Hong said: "I did wrong Your Highness, but I had to help my sister at that time. If I didn't help my sister, she would die. Later, my sister didn't want to implicate me and let me escape from the palace. I... I... I love you..."
Seeing Qin Hong stuttering, Gu Yan frowned and said, "Speak!"
Qin Hong said: "I liked Princess Jingyu, so I went to find her. I wanted to say goodbye to her, but that day I learned that the princess also liked me."
Gu Yan angrily scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Jingyu be in love with you? Jingyu would never..."
Before Gu Yan finished speaking, Qin Hong took out a jade pendant from his neck.
Gu Yan's pupils dilated slightly. He naturally knew about this jade pendant. It was asked by Jingyu's parents when she was a child to protect her safety. Jingyu never leaves this jade Buddha.
Qin Hong said: "Prince, can you believe it now?"
Gu Yan frowned and looked at Qin Hong.
Qin Hong said: "Princess Jingyu helped me find an identity and asked me to come to Lizhou to serve as a soldier and eliminate the pirates. After I arrived, I found that the pirates had colluded with the Lijiang Jiedushi. I took the opportunity to collect evidence and lurked near Wei Jian. When the imperial army arrived, I learned that the people in the city were going to starve to death, so I took the risk and stole the military rations..."
Gu Yan's eyes looked at Qin Hong with less dissatisfaction at this moment, and he only said: "In this case, you can serve as a soldier under me and make up for your mistakes. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the court, he will marry Ye Wanhe as the Crown Princess today. I think the Crown Princess will also plead for you."
"Thank you, Prince."
Gu Yan looked at Qin Hong and frowned, "It's not that easy to marry my sister."
Qin Hong said: "I know, I will definitely subdue the rebels."
--
In Yongxing City.
Inside the Ye residence, fireworks were set off early in the morning and a ceremonial music group played ceremonial music.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rode a horse from the palace to the Ye Mansion.
Outside Ye Wanhe's boudoir, Yun Shuangbai led several cousins and children of the Ye family to stop the Crown Prince and ask for a prize.
There is no such rule for palace weddings, only folk weddings have such a lively and auspicious occasion. This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is marrying Ye Wanhe, and everything is according to the rules of marrying a daughter in Yongxing City.
Inside the house, Yun Xiangye listened to Yun Shuangbai's voice outside and said to Ye Wanhe, "This Shuangbai is too bold."
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "She has never tried the majesty of His Highness."
Shen Qing said: "I think His Highness is not majestic. He is very kind to people."
Yun Xiangye recalled the time when she had just arrived in Chang'an. Zhao Yun's contempt for her could only be said to have nothing to do with kindness. Now that Zhao Yun was willing to change, it was very good.
Yun Xiangye and Ye Wanhe smiled at each other, and the door was opened. Ye Wanhe even covered her face with her wedding fan.
