Chapter 3 Sooner or later I will divorce her
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye who was still there, walked over to her, took her hand, and brought her to his parents: "Dad, Mom, she is Yun Xiangye."
Yun Xiangye followed Gu Yan's steps and came to Princess Sheng Zhao. She whispered, "Father-in-law, mother."
Yun Xiangye looked at the couple in front of her and saw a flash of surprise in their eyes. It seemed that they had never expected that she would be their daughter-in-law.
Yun Xiangye looked at the clothes she was wearing. She thought they were made of the most fashionable fabric. However, in front of the most noble people in the world, she looked inferior to the servants around the eldest princess.
No wonder, when the princess saw her, she didn't think of her as her daughter-in-law.
For this reason, Yun Xiangye was even more annoyed with Gu Yan. If he had told her his identity earlier, she would have had time to prepare her clothes.
Princess Sheng Zhao smiled and said, "Xiangye, you must have been exhausted on the journey. Come back to the palace and have a rest. Today our family is finally reunited."
Yun Xiangye replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Princess Sheng Zhao stepped forward and took the soft and chewy little ball from Gu Jingyu's hands, "This is Nuonuo, right?"
Gu Yan smiled faintly, "Yes, she is Nuonuo, Nuonuo, this is my grandmother."
Xiao Nuonuo said in a baby voice: "Grandma."
Princess Sheng Zhao held the child in her arms and smiled faintly, "What a sensible little Nuonuo."
The maidservant beside Princess Sheng Zhao handed over a pair of gold bracelets. Princess Sheng Zhao smiled and said, "Little Nuonuo, these are the gold bracelets that your grandmother gave you."
Yun Xiangye saw the maid beside the princess take off the silver bracelet on Nuonuo's hand and replace it with a gold bracelet.
Yun Xiangye felt a little relieved when she saw the joy in the princess' eyes towards her daughter. She was not afraid of being disliked. Although her daughter was less than two years old, Nuonuo was very sensible. Little Nuonuo knew that others didn't like her.
Gu Jingyu smiled faintly and said, "Brother, Nuonuo is very cute, much cuter than Jingru. Nuonuo is a hundred times more obedient than her."
"Jingru is?"
Gu Yan looked at his sister. He didn't know who Jingru was.
Gu Jingyu said, "Our dear sister, not long after you left Chang'an City, mother realized that you were pregnant. Jingru was still young, so mother has not been to Jiangnan to visit sister-in-law and Nuonuo for the past three years."
Gu Yan looked at his parents in surprise. In the two years of correspondence, they never told him that they had a little sister who was almost the same age as their daughter.
Gu Jingyu still complained to Gu Yan: "Jingru was often sick when she was one year old, and she started to make trouble when she was over two years old. Now she is over three years old, and her troubles are getting worse and worse. Everything depends on her temper. Mother also said that I was like this when I was a child. I was not so naughty when I was a child."
Gu Yan smiled and said, "You were indeed this naughty when you were a child."
Yun Xiangye stood aside, watching Gu Yan and Gu Jingyu chatting, she just felt that she was a little out of place.
Yun Xiangye received a gaze, and when she looked over, she saw that it was the woman who had just called Gu Yan cousin still looking at her. The cousin's eyes showed her contempt and ridicule...
Princess Sheng Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Hurry up and get on the carriage and go back home. You are tired from the journey, so you should rest well when you get home."
When Yun Xiangye heard the princess' words, she followed Gu Yan closely and got into the carriage with him.
Seeing the spacious interior of the carriage, Yun Xiangye remembered that her daughter was still with Princess Sheng Zhao: "Nuonuo."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Nuonuo is in mother's carriage, you just don't worry. It will take about half an hour from here to the Princess's residence, why don't you take a rest first."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "Why didn't you tell me before that you have a sister who is fourteen or fifteen years old? I didn't even prepare a gift for her."
Gu Yan smiled and said, "You don't need to be so polite to your own sister. Besides, she has been raised in luxury since she was a child. She doesn't lack anything. Instead, you are wasting your kindness."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly. Was Gu Yanzhi saying that she had bad taste, or that she came from a poor family?
Can’t give a gift that matches his sister’s status?
Gu Yan saw that Yun Xiangye looked unhappy, so he said, "Why are you still unhappy? You met my parents, and you saw that they didn't seem to dislike your background, right?"
Yun Xiangye lowered her head and said nothing. What she cared about was never her in-laws' dislike for her, but Gu Yan.
Gu Yan whispered, "You don't have to be afraid of your low status. My mother grew up in the common people and was not a high-ranking princess from the beginning. Like you, she lost her adoptive father when she was very young and had to support a family."
"My mother was not a princess when she was young. Because she came from a merchant family, she suffered a lot in her husband's family. My mother married my father as a second marriage, so no one in our family would look down on your background."
Yun Xiangye listened to Gu Yanzhi's words and remained silent.
She originally thought that she was just entering the door of a wealthy businessman's home, but now she was told that she was entering the door of the current princess's mansion. It was difficult for her to accept it for a while.
The way Gu Yan's family members looked at her just now clearly showed that they had not expected that the girl Gu Yan would marry would be so ordinary.
When the eldest princess saw her, she asked where Yun Xiangye was, which showed that the eldest princess only regarded her as a maid and servant.
Moreover, cousin Gu Yan looked at her with contempt. Yun Xiangye really didn't know how to go on like this.
She was so confused for a moment that she wanted to retreat. How could it be so easy to enter the door of a royal family?
--
On the last carriage back to the princess's mansion.
Wei Xi held a hot water bottle in her hand and smiled faintly at the maid beside her:
"I thought she was such a beautiful lady that Cousin Yan chose her to marry despite her low status. But it turns out that she looks so ordinary and has a vulgar air. She doesn't know the rules at all."
The maidservant beside Wei Xi said immediately, "Young lady, if we are talking about the Ning Wang Crown Prince's Consort, there is no one in Chang'an City more suitable than you."
The maid's face was full of disdain: "That Yun Xiangye is just a stopgap measure for the prince to get married. Yun's family background is so low, sooner or later the prince will divorce her and marry another wife from a higher family. It is a blessing for Yun to become the concubine of the Prince of Ning."
Wei Xi held the hot water bottle and chuckled, "That's right. After all, there has never been a matchmaker or six betrothal gifts in Chang'an City. This marriage doesn't even count if you really want to talk about it. If Yun Xiangye can become a concubine of the Gu family, it is indeed her blessing."
--
When the carriage that Yun Xiangye was sitting in stopped, she lifted the curtain and looked at the gate of the princess's mansion in front of her. The vermilion gate was very majestic.
The main door was wide open, and a noble lady who was about forty years old walked out of the door holding the hand of a little girl who looked slightly older than Nuonuo.
After Gu Yan got off the carriage, he reached out and helped Yun Xiangye get off the carriage.
Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye to Madam Gu and said, "Grandma, this is Xiangye."
Yun Xiangye looked at the noble lady in front of him. This noble lady was very well-maintained and did not look like Gu Yan's grandmother at all. So he shouted along with Gu Yan, "Grandma."
Madam Gu looked at Yun Xiangye kindly, "You are so good."
"Mother!"
The little girl next to Madam Gu saw Princess Sheng Zhao get off the carriage holding little Nuonuo, and she walked up to Princess Sheng Zhao with her short legs.
"Mom, Ru Ru wants to be hugged too."
Princess Xie Zhixuan of Sheng Zhao smiled gently, squatted down with little Nuonuo in her arms and said, "Jingru, she is your niece Nuonuo, you are the elder, you have to take good care of Nuonuo."
The three-year-old Princess Jingru obviously didn't know what elders meant, but when she saw the little sister who was about her age in front of her, she felt like she had a new playmate.
Jingru reached out and held Nuo Nuo's little hand, and asked, "My name is Jingru, what's your name?"
Nuonuo just followed Xiao Jingru in front of her and said the last two words: "Name..."
"I'm asking what your name is?"
Xiao Nuonuo continued: "Name."
Xiao Jingru lost her patience: "I didn't ask you to tell me your name, I asked you to tell me what your name is! You are so stupid!"
