Chapter 39: The Only Choice for the Crown Princess
On the way to Yuhua Temple.
Fu Qianran smiled as she looked at the little Nuonuo that Yun Xiangye was holding hands with. "This child is so cute, so well-behaved and doesn't make any noise. What's his name? How old is he?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Her name is Nuonuo. She is three years old on New Year's Day, but she will be two years old in a few days."
Fu Qianran handed the hot water bottle in her hand to the palace maid behind her, and stretched out her hand to Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo, can I hold you?"
Nuonuo glanced at Yun Xiangye, and seeing that Yun Xiangye did not refuse, she let Fu Qianran hold her.
Fu Qianran smiled as she looked at the little Nuonuo in her arms and said, "This Nuonuo looks more like the Prince of Ning."
Yun Xiangye said calmly: "Yes, she is more like her father."
Fu Qianran spoke softly to Nuonuo in her arms.
Yun Xiangye saw the faint smile on Fu Qianran's face and thought to herself that it was no wonder that she could be the Crown Princess. Her dignified and elegant temperament, as well as her gentleness and thoughtfulness towards children, made her the perfect candidate for the Crown Princess.
Several people walked all the way to Yuhua Hall.
Yun Xiangye saw a figure in the courtyard of Yuhua Palace and said to Gu Jingyu: "Jingyu, please help me take care of Nuonuo..."
Gu Jingyu responded: "Okay, sister-in-law."
Yun Xiangye walked towards where Ye Wanhe was and patted her shoulder gently, "Sister, how are you injured?"
Ye Wanhe heard Yun Xiangye's voice, took three steps back, bowed and said, "Crown Princess."
"elder sister."
Ye Wanhe raised her eyes and looked at Yun Xiangye deeply: "I hope the Crown Prince's Consort will pay attention to the way she addresses you."
Yun Xiangye could only ask: "Aunt Ye, how are you injured?"
"Thank you for the medicine given by the Crown Princess. My injuries have healed a lot."
Yun Xiangye listened to her cousin's respectful words and sighed softly, "Aunt Ye, why are you here?"
Ye Wanhe looked towards the garden, "Your Highness is admiring the plum blossoms in the garden with the Prince of Ning, the Prince of Xiang, the Prince of Chu, the Young Master of the Xie Family, and the Young Master of the Wei Family."
Yun Xiangye saw several noble men standing in the plum garden outside the Yuhua Palace, and could hear their laughter from time to time.
"Aunt Ye."
Yun Xiangye heard the sound behind her and saw Fu Qianran coming over with a hot water bottle in her hand.
Fu Qianran handed the hot water bottle in her hand back to Ye Wanhe and said, "Aunt Ye, this hot water bottle was given to me by His Highness when I met him this morning. My hands are no longer cold now, so I'll give it back to His Highness."
Ye Wanhe bowed her head and respectfully took the hot water bottle from Fu Qianran, "Yes, Miss Fu."
Fu Qianran smiled at Yun Xiangye and said, "Do the Crown Prince's Consort know Aunt Ye?"
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Aunt Ye is my cousin from my uncle's family."
Fu Qianran smiled faintly, "Are they so close? Then I won't dare to trouble Aunt Ye to serve me in the future."
Ye Wanhe lowered her head and said, "Once I entered the palace, I am a servant. I only know how to serve the mistress well."
Fu Qianran looked at Ye Wanhe who was looking down, smiled gently and said, "No wonder His Highness likes to use Aunt Ye. Aunt Ye is very loyal."
Ye Wanhe whispered, "Being loyal to the master is the duty of a servant."
After all, Yun Xiangye had been the owner of an embroidery workshop for so many years, so how could she not hear that Fu Qianran was trying to intimidate her sister?
But to be fair, Yun Xiangye didn't think that Fu Qianran couldn't give him a warning.
After all, before she even entered her fiancé's house, there was already a maidservant who was always with her in his room. Even a virtuous and generous woman might not be able to tolerate it.
After all, Fu Qianran was not wrong.
Fu Qianran smiled at Yun Xiangye: "The palace luncheon is about to begin. What does the Crown Prince's Consort want to see Aunt Ye about?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I want to go change my clothes. Aunt Ye, please help me lead the way."
Fu Qianran said: "I see. Then I will go to the palace banquet first."
After Fu Qianran left, Ye Wanhe took Yun Xiangye to an abandoned courtyard next to Yuhua Palace where few people visited.
After entering the snow-covered courtyard that no one had cleared, Ye Wanhe asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Yun Xiangye took off her cloak and put it on Ye Wanhe, whose hands were turning purple from the cold.
Ye Wanhe hurriedly said, "Sister, put it on yourself quickly."
Yun Xiangye said, "You are still injured, please put on some clothes first. What I am wearing is quite warm, not as thin as what you are wearing."
Yun Xiangye said to Ye Wanhe: "Sister, I have a way to help you leave the palace."
Ye Wanhe lowered her voice and said, "Please don't try to get me out of the palace again. If I do, I'll get you into trouble..."
Yun Xiangye whispered, "My method will definitely allow you to leave the palace smoothly. Gu Yan told me that his mother has a secret medicine called fake death medicine. Taking it is like faking death. You can fake death and escape from the palace."
Ye Wanhe was stunned and said, "Faking death? This is a crime of deceiving the emperor! You must not do this. You can't bear the crime of deceiving the emperor for me."
Yun Xiangye said: "Faking your death is the same as dying. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a Crown Princess, will he still investigate whether you really died or faked your death?
Before you fake your death, I will arrange an identity for you. Then you can return to Yongxing City with a new identity and ask your uncle and aunt to recognize you as their goddaughter. You have been away from the palace for a long time, and the neighbors in Yongxing City may not know you.
If you are afraid that the neighbors in Yongxing City will recognize you, then you can go to Hangzhou City. I remember that you liked Hangzhou City when you were young. You can live in Hangzhou City... The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not know your crime of deceiving the emperor."
Ye Wanhe shook her head and said, "No, this is really too risky. The crime of deceiving the emperor is no joke."
Yun Xiangye said to Ye Wanhe: "Sister."
Ye Wanhe said to Yun Xiangye: "You should give up this idea of deceiving the emperor."
Yun Xiangye asked, "Don't you want to leave the palace and see your uncle and aunt again?"
Ye Wanhe listened to the ritual music, took off her cloak, handed it to Yun Xiangye and said, "The banquet is about to begin, you should go and join us."
Yun Xiangye had no choice but to go to Yuhua Palace for the banquet first.
On the way to Yuhua Hall.
Yun Xiangye said in the Yongxing City dialect: "Sister, my uncle and aunt miss you so much. You shouldn't waste your life as a slave."
Ye Wanhe listened to the local accent that she had not heard for a long time. She could only understand it, but could no longer speak it.
Ye Wanhe still remembered that when she was in Chang'an just now, she spoke with the accent of her hometown, which made the young palace maids in the embroidery room often imitate her speech.
Later, I gradually corrected my accent. Now when I hear Yun Xiangye speaking her hometown dialect, I miss home so much, especially the vegetarian spring rolls my mother made every year during the Chinese New Year...
Seeing that Ye Wanhe said nothing more, Yun Xiangye was afraid that others would hear her, so she stopped trying to persuade her.
As soon as Yun Xiangye and Ye Wanhe came out of the abandoned courtyard, they saw a man in a purple python robe.
After four years, Zhao Jing hasn't changed much. He still looks the same as before...
Ye Wanhe stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Prince of Chu."
"Yellow leaves?"
Zhao Jing stood there, staring blankly at Yun Xiangye beside Ye Wanhe.
For a moment he thought he was dreaming, otherwise how could he see Yun Xiangye in the palace.
