Chapter 32 Sister, I'm Sorry
Inside Linlang Restaurant.
After lunch, Yun Xiangye looked at Nuonuo, who was still eating with a spoon in her hand, but her eyes were almost closed. She chuckled and held Nuonuo in her arms to coax her to sleep.
Yun Xiangye took out her own pink and gold mink cloak and covered Nuonuo with it.
"Miss, let me hold the young lady." Run'er stepped forward to take Nuonuo from Yun Xiangye's hands.
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "Let me hold her. Nuonuo is not heavy. She is almost two years old, and I will be able to hold her less and less in the future."
Yun Xiangye carried Nuonuo out of Linlang Restaurant and waited at the door of the restaurant for the carriage from the princess's mansion to arrive.
Yun Xiangye was afraid that Nuonuo would be blown by the wind, so she covered Nuonuo's sleeping face with a fox fur cloak.
Yun Xiangye watched the carriage arrive and got on.
Not far away, Zhao Jing was riding on a large maroon horse, his eyes fixed on the carriage in front of him. The profile of the person holding the child just now made Zhao Jing feel extremely familiar.
Zhao Jing rode forward and asked the coachman, "Who is in here?"
The groom recognized the Prince of Chu at a glance, "Prince of Chu, this is the wife of Prince Ning."
Yun Xiangye listened to the noise outside but did not lift the curtain.
After all, she and Zhao Jing had nothing to talk about.
When Zhao Jing saw the logo of the Princess's Mansion on the carriage, he realized that he must have been mistaken.
Zhao Jing rode his horse outside the carriage and said, "It's your sister-in-law. Is she feeling better?"
Yun Xiangye coughed and said, "Thank you for your concern, cousin. I have recovered, but my throat is still a little hoarse."
Zhao Jing looked at the carriage road and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something I would like to ask you. Do you know Yun Xiangye, the owner of the Five Colors Embroidery Workshop in Fangqiao Town? What kind of business does her husband's family do? What's his name?"
"ah?"
Yun Xiangye raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. No wonder Gu Yan didn't let her go to Fu's house to celebrate Zhao Jing's birthday. It turned out that Zhao Jing didn't know that she was his cousin's wife?
Yun Xiangye said: "Ahem, this..."
Zhao Jing asked outside the carriage, "Cousin, don't you know?"
Yun Xiangye could only hum.
"Sister-in-law, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Go slowly, cousin."
Yun Xiangye listened to the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away, then she lifted the curtain to look at Zhao Jing's back as he rode on the large maroon horse.
After the carriage returned to the princess's mansion.
Yun Xiangye saw a carriage from the Prince of Chu's Palace parked at the gate.
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Why did she meet Zhao Jing today and also see the carriage of the Prince of Chu's Palace?
As soon as Yun Xiangye got off the carriage, she heard a frustrated young female voice coming from the princess's mansion.
"Aunt, this lotus root powder feather satin fox lining cloak was given to me by the Empress. Who knew Chuan'er was so ignorant and burned such a big hole in it? I asked the female official in the clothing bureau and she said that only Aunt Ye and Aunt Yinliu in the East Palace could mend it."
"I just went to the East Palace. I don't know what Aunt Ye did wrong, but she was punished by the Crown Prince with ten strokes of the board. She was beaten to a bloody mess and lost half her life. She could only lie down to recover from her injuries. I don't dare to ask her to mend my clothes anymore, so I can only come to find Aunt Yinliu. I want to wear this dress when I go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Day..."
Xie Zhixuan chuckled and said, "Xiangxiang, Yinliu is in Xiangye's room now. I will take you to Qingfeng Garden to find Yinliu."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly carried Nuonuo inside, not caring whether she would meet anyone familiar from the Prince Chu's Mansion.
After entering the princess's mansion, Yun Xiangye didn't recognize the woman in front of him, but she looked a bit like Princess Nan'an.
"mother."
Xie Zhixuan said to Yun Xiangye: "Xiangye, this is Princess Ningxiang from the Prince Chu's Palace. You can just call her sister."
Yun Xiangye looked at Princess Ningxiang in front of her and bowed, saying, "Sister." Princess Ningxiang smiled at Yun Xiangye in front of her, and moved closer to look at the sleeping child in Yun Xiangye's arms: "Are you Brother Yan's wife? Is the child in your arms Brother Yan's daughter?"
Yun Xiangye lowered her head and said, "Well, sister, you just said that Aunt Ye was punished?"
Zhao Xiangxiang looked at Yun Xiangye's anxious expression and asked, "Do you know Aunt Ye?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Aunt Ye is my cousin."
Zhao Xiangxiang said: "Auntie Ye was indeed severely punished. She was hit with ten large boards in such a cold weather. When I went there just now, her clothes were all stuck in the bloody wounds..."
Yun Xiangye almost lost her balance. "How could this happen?"
Xie Zhixuan hurriedly took Nuonuo from Yun Xiangye and said to Yun Xiangye, "I have some medicine here. I'll ask the maid to get it. You can take the medicine to visit your cousin in the East Palace later."
Yun Xiangye looked at Xie Zhixuan gratefully and said, "Thank you, mother."
Yun Xiangye turned her head and looked at the lotus root powder woven with golden feather satin fox lining cloak in Zhao Xiangxiang's hand. There was indeed a burnt hole on it. She said, "Sister, I can mend this hole. Give it to my maid first. I promise to mend it before the New Year."
Zhao Xiangxiang looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Does your sister-in-law have such a skill?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Well, my mother is the best at mending, and my cousin's skills are all learned from my mother."
Zhao Xiangxiang said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law. This dress is really too precious. The feather satin we earn every year can only make one piece like this."
Yun Xiangye responded, "Don't worry, sister."
Yun Xiangye took the medicine from Xie Zhixuan's maid and hurriedly got on the carriage to the East Palace.
Along the way, Yun Xiangye was nervous. Ten major boards...
Yun Xiangye's eyelids couldn't stop twitching. When her carriage arrived in front of the East Palace, she looked at the towering palace walls in front of her, but she didn't know how to get in or how to convey the message. After all, she had followed Gu Yan in before.
When Yun Xiangye was wandering at the gate of the East Palace, she saw a young man coming towards her.
"Cousin."
Yun Xiangye couldn't recognize who he was for a moment, but she saw that he had a very handsome face, comparable to Gu Yan.
Xie Shian smiled and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Cousin, why did you come to the East Palace alone?"
Yun Xiangye said, "My cousin is on duty in the East Palace. I just heard from Princess Ningxiang in the Chu Palace that my cousin was severely injured after being punished, so I thought of going to the East Palace to visit my cousin."
Xie Shian said, "Cousin, please follow me in."
As soon as he entered the Eastern Palace, Xie Shian found a palace maid and asked her where Ye Wanhe was, and asked the palace maid to take Ye Wanhe to a small courtyard next to the Eastern Palace.
As soon as Yun Xiangye entered, she felt cold. The room where the palace maids lived was really cold.
There were four small beds in a small room, and the space was really cramped.
Yun Xiangye saw a few little palace maids gathered in the corner.
"Your Highness, this is too cruel. I just put some salt in Prince Ning's tea. Why should I be punished so severely?"
"Those eunuchs who were in charge of the punishment didn't know how to show some mercy."
"Aunt Ye."
Ye Wanhe said softly, "I'm fine, stop crying and go do your own things."
Yun Xiangye staggered over to Ye Wanhe and said, "Sister."
Ye Wanhe looked at Yun Xiangye who was coming over and said, "Sister Yun, why are you in the East Palace?"
Yun Xiangye saw that although Ye Wanhe was covered with a quilt, there were blood stains on the quilt. She lifted the quilt and saw Ye Wanhe's red dress. Yun Xiangye's hands were shaking.
Yun Xiangye knelt in front of Ye Wanhe with tears in her eyes, her eyes blurred with tears, and she said with self-blame: "You were punished because I asked you to sprinkle salt in Gu Yan's tea... I'm sorry, sister."
Yun Xiangye's tears kept falling, "It's all my fault, I hurt you, I am sorry for you, sister."
Ye Wanhe gently touched Yun Xiangye's face and said, "It's not your fault, Crown Princess. This has nothing to do with you."
