Chapter 28: Get pregnant with a boy soon
Ye Wanhe was boiling medicine while listening to Yun Xiangye's voice. She turned around and saw the little girl Yun Xiangye was leading.
Ye Wanhe's eyes were all on the child that Yun Xiangye was holding. Ye Wanhe squatted down and held the little girl's face and said, "Sister Yun, is this child your daughter? She looks like Second Sister Yun when she was a child."
Yun Xiangye touched Nuonuo's little head and said, "Nuonuo, call me auntie."
Nuonuo looked at Ye Wanhe in front of her and said, "Aunt, don't cry."
When Yun Xiangye heard Nuonuo say this, she took a closer look and saw that there were indeed tears in Ye Wanhe's eyes.
Ye Wanhe forced a smile and said, "Don't cry, Auntie. Nuonuo is so good."
Ye Wanhe stood up and went to a small rosewood box in the corner and took out a silver lock.
Ye Wanhe squatted down again and handed the silver lock to Nuonuo, saying, "I haven't been able to prepare any gifts for you in the palace. I have been wearing this silver safety lock since I was born to keep myself safe. I hope you don't mind."
Xiao Nuonuo took the silver lock with her little hands and smiled at Ye Wanhe: "Thank you, auntie."
Ye Wanhe touched Xiao Nuonuo's face and forced a smile, but a tear still fell from the corner of her eye.
"Don't cry, Auntie."
Little Nuonuo spoke in a baby voice and reached out to wipe Ye Wanhe's tears.
Ye Wanhe hugged Nuonuo tightly in her arms, tears falling from her eyes, and she cried even more sadly.
Yun Xiangye waited for a while, squatted down gently, and handed the handkerchief to Ye Wanhe.
Ye Wanhe took the handkerchief, slowly let go of Xiao Nuonuo, and just wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe worriedly and said, "Sister He."
Ye Wanhe quickly wiped her tears and said, "Sister Yun, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Yun Xiangye said, "Sister, have you thought about not having children anymore? Gu Yan actually dared to lie to me. He clearly said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let you use harmful contraceptives anymore. I'm going to settle the score with him."
Ye Wanhe quickly grabbed Yun Xiangye's wrist and said, "Prince Ning did not lie to you. His Highness did not allow me to use contraceptive pills anymore. I insisted on using them."
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe in confusion.
Ye Wanhe stroked her belly gently and said, "I once had a child. I was only nineteen years old at the time. I was shocked, panicked, and happy at the same time. But when His Highness found out, he just asked his wet nurse to give me an abortion pill. The child was already born... I really don't want to experience that kind of heart-wrenching pain again."
When Yun Xiangye heard this, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and tears welled up in her eyes, "How could His Royal Highness treat you like this? His Royal Highness is such a jerk."
Ye Wanhe smiled bitterly and said, "I am a servant. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was only seventeen years old and had not yet been engaged. How could it be possible for the eldest grandson of the Emperor to be born in the belly of a servant?"
Yun Xiangye clenched her fists. She understood why Sister He couldn't help crying when she saw Nuonuo. Sister He must have remembered the child she once had. Yun Xiangye thought of how painful her sister must have been at that time, and she also shed tears.
Ye Wanhe wiped Yun Xiangye's tears and said, "Sister Yun, why are you crying too? It's all in the past, it's all in the past."
Yun Xiangye bit her lower lip and said, "Sister He, I will definitely find a way to rescue you from this pit of fire."
Ye Wanhe smiled softly and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I am at least a first-rank maid in the East Palace. Everyone calls me Aunt Ye, so my life is not a hell."
Yun Xiangye choked up and said, "How come it's not a fire pit? Medicine is poisonous, especially this kind of contraceptive medicine, how can it not harm your body?"
Ye Wanhe smiled and said, "Take this medicine a few more times, and you won't have to take it anymore after you can no longer get pregnant. Besides, the Crown Princess will soon be entering the palace. When Your Highness has a Crown Princess, and they have a deep affection for each other, I won't have to take this medicine anymore."
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "Sister He, the Crown Princess is going to enter the palace, aren't you unhappy at all?"
Ye Wanhe laughed, "Why should I be unhappy? I'm looking forward to the Crown Princess entering the palace as soon as possible. Although there is no master in the inner courtyard of the East Palace, there are still a lot of affairs. After the Crown Princess enters the palace, the internal accounts of the East Palace can be handed over to her, and I will have more free time on weekdays."
"After His Highness has a Crown Princess, maybe His Highness will get tired of me soon and let me leave the palace."
Ye Wanhe's smile did not reach her eyes. To His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she was just a maid for his entertainment when he had no concubines. Now that he has a young, beautiful and talented Crown Princess, he may not necessarily prevent her from leaving the palace as he does now.
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe and there was no displeasure on her face. Instead, she looked at Ye Wanhe with worry and distress.
Ye Wanhe said, "By the way, I remember that today is the old lady of the Fu family's 65th birthday, and Your Highness is also going to the Fu family to celebrate. It's getting late now, shouldn't you also take Nuonuo to the Fu family?"
Yun Xiangye shook her head and said, "Gu Yan wouldn't let me go to the Fu family to celebrate his birthday."
Ye Wanhe frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't Prince Ning let you go to the Fu family to celebrate his birthday? As his wife, how can you not go to celebrate his birthday?"
Yun Xiangye said: "This is a long story. I didn't go to the Fu family because I wanted to hide from someone."
Ye Wanhe was relieved when she heard Yun Xiangye's words, "I originally thought that Prince Ning was unwilling to take you to the Fu family to celebrate your birthday because he disliked your lowly background. I'm glad that's not the case."
Yun Xiangye said: "Maybe Gu Yan also has the same idea."
After Ye Wanhe saw that the medicine was ready, she scooped out the soup and said to Yun Xiangye, "I see that you seem to be angry with Prince Ning?"
Yun Xiangye said: "I am not just angry, I am angry all over. If it weren't for Nuonuo, I would have divorced him long ago."
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and advised: "Prince Ning is a very good husband, otherwise those five noble ladies in Chang'an City would not have lowered their status and went to the princess's mansion to ask for marriage."
Yun Xiangye said: "He may be nice to those five noble ladies, but he doesn't have me in his heart, and he doesn't really regard me as his wife. I am nothing in his eyes."
After Ye Wanhe drank a bowl of medicine, she smiled and said, "Sister Yun, among the wealthy families in Chang'an City, it is the stupidest thing for a wife of a wealthy family to ask her husband to like her.
Prince Ning is indeed a popular man, and there must be many noble ladies eyeing him, so you'd better stop talking about divorce.
The most important thing now is to find a doctor to regulate my body and get pregnant with a boy as soon as possible. If I have a son, I can have a firm foothold in the Gu family. I don’t care whether my husband likes me or not. As long as I have a son, I will be content.”
Yun Xiangye knew that Ye Wanhe said this for her own good, but he didn't think so.
Yun Xiangye said: "Sister He, if you want to rely on a child to tie Gu Yan down, then Nuonuo is enough.
Gu Yan doesn't have me in his heart now. It's useless even if I give birth to three, four or five more sons for him. He doesn't have me in his heart and may not like my sons.
If I can't gain a foothold in the Gu family, I'm not afraid at all. No matter what, it won't be as difficult as when my parents just left. I can also ensure that Nuonuo and I will have no worries about food and clothing."
Ye Wanhe smiled when she heard what Yun Xiangye said, "You are quite insightful."
Yun Xiangye smiled calmly and said, "I am not very clear-headed. Just like what you said, it is the most foolish thing for a wife of a noble family to ask her husband to like her. Since I came to Chang'an, all my anger has come from this.
When I was in Jiangnan, I always thought that Gu Yan and I were a loving couple and that he had feelings for me. But when he told me his identity on the first day of arriving in Chang'an, I realized that my feelings were one-sided and that he had no love for me at all...
I came to Chang'an and was looked down upon, humiliated by the maids, and his cousin said that it was all because of him that I divorced my wife and made her my concubine, but he thought I was being unreasonable..."
Ye Wanhe frowned and said, "You can't judge a person by his appearance. I used to think that Prince Ning was a good person, but I didn't expect him to bully you like this. It's a pity that I am useless and can't protect myself, so I can't seek justice for you."
Yun Xiangye asked, "Sister, do all the tea-serving maids in the East Palace obey your orders?"
Ye Wanhe responded: "Yes."
Yun Xiangye said: "When Gu Yan comes to the East Palace again in the future, when the palace maids serve him tea, you ask them to add more salt, vinegar, etc. to his tea..."
Ye Wanhe smiled and replied, "Okay."
