Chapter 49 Never Return to Chang'an
Yun Xiangye returned to the Princess's Mansion and planned to go to the Garden of Ten Thousand Flowers to pick up Nuonuo first.
As soon as she entered the Garden of Ten Thousand Flowers, Yun Xiangye heard the soft laughter.
Yun Xiangye walked over and saw the eldest princess holding Nuonuo and playing on the swing.
"Mom." When Nuonuo saw Yun Xiangye, she wanted to get down from the swing.
Xie Zhixuan picked up Nuonuo and walked over to Yun Xiangye and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back so early, why don't you play with your sister for a while longer?"
Yun Xiangye whispered, "His Royal Highness said that the palace has strict rules and that palace maids are not allowed to leave the palace."
Xie Zhixuan frowned slightly and said, "Since the prince has already agreed, how can he go back on his word?"
Xie Zhixuan dared to say it openly, but Yun Xiangye didn't. She could only take Nuonuo back from Xie Zhixuan.
Xiao Nuonuo threw herself into Yun Xiangye's arms, "Mother."
Yun Xiangye bowed to Xie Zhixuan and said, "Mother, we will take our leave first."
Xie Zhixuan nodded.
When Yun Xiangye was carrying little Nuonuo away, she ran into Gu Yan's father on the road. Yun Xiangye hurriedly bowed and said, "Father-in-law."
Gu Ling glanced at Yun Xiangye and the little Nuonuo in her arms with displeasure, and replied in a deep voice, "Yeah."
Yun Xiangye bent back and took two steps, then hurriedly carried Xiao Nuonuo away.
After Yun Xiangye left the Garden of Ten Thousand Flowers, she recalled the look in King Ning's eyes and sighed softly.
If it was just as she expected, Gu Yan's father must look down on her and Nuonuo, otherwise why would he look at her with such an unhappy look?
Yun Xiangye touched Xiao Nuonuo's head and asked, "Does Nuonuo like your previous home?"
Xiao Nuonuo said in a baby voice: "I like mother."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Mother also likes Nuonuo. She likes Nuonuo the most."
She said in a soft and milky voice, "I love mother the most."
Yun Xiangye gave Nuonuo a kiss on the little face.
In the Garden of Flowers.
Gu Ling said to Xie Zhixuan unhappily: "What does Yan'er think of you? He and his wife don't take care of the child themselves, and let you take care of it?"
Xie Zhixuan smiled and said, "Are you unhappy and sullen because of this? Don't scare Nuonuo."
Gu Ling said: "If I had known that your thoughts would be on Yan'er's family when he came back, I wouldn't have urged him to come back."
Xie Zhixuan chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? Isn't it good for the family to be together? Nuonuo is much more obedient and gentle than Jingru. Jingru is really too naughty, while Nuonuo is quiet and gentle. She should be more like her mother."
"Is slapping your husband four times in just one month considered gentle and quiet?" Gu Ling laughed.
Xie Zhixuan asked: "Why did you get beaten again?"
Gu Ling said: "On the first day of the new year, they were beaten at the gate of Fushou Hall. Wei Zhan's wife said some unpleasant words, and my mother drove them out without mercy..."
Xie Zhixuan listened to Gu Ling's explanation of the whole story and frowned, saying, "It's a pity that they thought of divorcing my wife and making her a concubine."

At night, in Qingfeng Garden.
Yun Xiang Ye Zhi waited until three quarters after the evening but still didn't see Gu Yan return, so she decided not to wait for him anymore. After coaxing Nuonuo to sleep, she also planned to go to bed.
It was almost midnight when Yun Xiangye felt a movement around her. She opened her eyes and looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan handed Yun Xiangye a colored painting of a koi carp with auspicious clouds and said, "Don't get angry unnecessarily. I spent two hours painting this. How about embroidering it on the fabric?"
Yun Xiangye took Gu Yan's painting and said, "It's just passable."
Gu Yan climbed onto the bed and carried Nuonuo inside, then held Yun Xiangye in his arms and said, "Is this too much? Do you know that if this painting is put outside, it won't be difficult to sell it for a thousand taels of silver?"
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan's painting and said, "If I embroider it, your painting will definitely be much more colorful."
Gu Yan put the painting aside and said, "Well, your embroidery must be better than what I drew. Don't be angry about Junior Sister Lin anymore."
Yun Xiangye said: "Who is angry about Junior Sister Lin? I haven't been angry for a long time, and there is no need to be angry..."
Yun Xiangye didn't want to get angry at Gu Yan for defending his sisters anymore.
Even if Gu Yan was not tired, she was tired.
In the final analysis, Gu Yan has always been protecting the reputation of other girls, but is unwilling to put himself in her shoes and think about her situation. It's all because he doesn't care about himself in his heart.
As early as the day he came to Chang'an, when Gu Yancai told him his identity, Yun Xiangye already understood that Gu Yan had no heart for him. Since he didn't have a heart for him, why should he be angry about this matter...
After getting the fake death drug, she can go back to Jiangnan with her sister and never return to Chang'an, so she won't have to care about Gu Yan anymore.
As for the Yunxiangye embroidery workshop in Chang'an City, she still wanted to keep it open.
Firstly, it could confuse Gu Yan and make him think that she would return to Chang'an after going to Jiangnan. Secondly, it was also a sum of money, and she felt at ease letting Run'er take care of it.
Seeing that Yun Xiangye had really stopped making trouble, Gu Yan whispered, "When you spend a few more days with Junior Sister, you will know that Junior Sister is not the kind of person who would steal someone else's husband as you think."
Yun Xiangye didn't want to say much to Gu Yan. Lin Bolan was indeed not the type of person who would snatch someone else's husband away, but it was also true that she looked down on her and felt that she had wronged Gu Yan.

Inside the East Palace.
Ye Wanhe held onto the wall and walked into the maid's room, where she saw that her clothes had been packed into the luggage.
Gu Yu placed both of her hands on her belly and said to Ye Wanhe, "Wanhe, you are no longer the head maid of the Eastern Palace, so you naturally have no right to live in this house. You can only live in the Tongqu Room. Don't blame me, this is all the rule of the Eastern Palace."
Ye Wanhe looked at Guyu in front of her. Guyu was very respectful to her this morning, and it was only a few hours...
Ye Wanhe didn't blame Guyu. The world in this cannibalistic palace was even more cruel than outside. Ye Wanhe whispered, "Thank you, aunt, for helping me collect my clothes."
Ye Wanhe took her clothes and left the room tremblingly.
"Sister Guyu, Aunt Ye was very kind to us before. If we treat her like this, will it be wrong for us to..."
Guyu said coldly: "Quenu was also very kind to her. When Quenu was driven out of the palace by the Queen, she didn't even say a word to help Quenu. She is a cold-hearted person."
Ye Wanhe frowned slightly as she listened to what was said inside the room. What could she use to plead for Quenu?
She is already in a difficult situation, and she is still begging for mercy for Quenu?
Ye Wanhe arrived at Tongquyuan, which was where the servants and maids in the East Palace lived. It was a large dormitory.
The maid inside saw Ye Wanhe coming and said, "There isn't enough room to begin with. I'm afraid there won't be enough room for one more person. Aunt Ye, you are used to sleeping on a spacious bed. I'm afraid you won't be used to sleeping on our crowded bunk beds."
"Yes, Aunt Ye, why don't you sleep on the floor? You can sleep more comfortably and don't have to squeeze with us."
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "Okay."
Ye Wanhe found a box from her luggage and distributed some small silver ingots in the box to the palace maids on the long bunk bed.
"I am one more person in this room, which has caused inconvenience to everyone."
However, the palace maids on the big bunk bed did not dare to accept Ye Wanhe's small silver ingot.
Only the youngest palace maid, who was about twelve years old, walked up to Ye Wanhe and said, "Aunt Ye, they are afraid of offending the future Crown Princess, so they dare not get close to you. I am not afraid. It was you who brought me to the East Palace. You can sleep in my place."
Ye Wanhe gently touched the bun on the little palace maid's head and chuckled, "Xia Qi, it's okay. I'm still injured. I might as well sleep on the floor."
The little palace maid Xia Qi handed her own quilt to Ye Wanhe, "Then you can use another quilt."
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "You gave me the quilt? You will be cold at night."
"I slept with you... The first time I saw you, I thought you looked like my mother. I haven't slept with my mother for two years."
Ye Wanhe said: "You can't sleep on the ground. It's cold and you're still growing."
The young palace maid Xia Qi said, "You also know that there is cold air on the ground."
Ye Wanhe smiled gently and said, "I am old, and the cold air on the ground has no effect on me, but you are different. You cannot get cold, so you don't have to give me the quilt."
"It's so noisy. What are you yelling about so late at night?"
On the big bunk bed, a palace maid spoke in annoyance.
Ye Wanhe said softly to Xia Qi: "Sister, it's okay. Go back and take your bedding and rest."
