Chapter 71: The woman your husband loves is someone else
"Royal brother!"
Ye Wanhe heard a familiar shout coming from behind her, and then saw Prince Xiang Zhao Rui waving at them.
Ye Wanhe repeatedly loosened her tightly held hands with Zhao Yun, turned around and saluted Zhao Rui who was walking over, saying, "Prince of Xiang."
Zhao Rui saw Zhao Yun wearing a mask and said, "Brother, are you here to look for my sister-in-law? She's right there."
Ye Wanhe looked in the direction Zhao Rui pointed, and seeing Fu Qianran from afar, Ye Wanhe could only lower her brows.
However, Zhao Yun took Ye Wanhe's hand, interlocked their fingers and walked towards Fu Qianran.
Zhao Yun looked at the colored glass lantern in Fu Qianran's hand and said, "It turns out that the colored glass lantern was won by you guys."
Zhao Rui said at the side: "Brother Shi An is really amazing. He guessed every riddle correctly. Sister-in-law is indeed the most talented woman in Chang'an."
Fu Qianran's eyes were fixed on the hands of Zhao Yun and Ye Wanhe. She bowed and said, "Your Highness."
Ye Wanhe met Fu Qianran's gaze, broke free from Zhao Yun's hand, and took two steps back.
Ye Wanhe took off the Nuo mask on her face and followed Zhao Yun respectfully.
After all, Nuo masks can only be worn for a while, not for a lifetime.
Zhao Yun said to Fu Qianran: "I will take you back home."
Fu Qianran whispered, "Thank you, Your Highness. My carriage is over there."
Zhao Yun followed Fu Qianran into a carriage.
Ye Wanhe walked beside the carriage with Fu Qianran's maid. Fortunately, the carriage was moving very slowly, so she could catch up with it by walking faster...
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to catch up since her injuries have not yet fully healed.
There was a small candle lit inside the carriage, making the entire compartment bright.
Zhao Yun looked directly at Fu Qianran in front of him and said, "Zhu Zhen should have told you about the relationship between me and Ye Wanhe, right?"
Fu Qianran was startled. She quickly knelt at Zhao Yun's feet and said, "Your Highness, I..."
Zhu Zhen is the daughter of Zhao Yun's wet nurse. She is in charge of some purchasing matters in the Eastern Palace. Fu Qianran also took some effort to recruit her to find out the news in the Eastern Palace. Fu Qianran did not expect that Zhao Yun actually knew about it.
Zhao Yun twirled the jade ring on his thumb and said, "Since you want to be the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, I won't bother with you if you place some of your people in the Eastern Palace to gather information."
Only then did Fu Qianran breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhao Yun lowered his eyes to look at Fu Qianran and said, "The information that Zhu Zhen can pass on to you is all allowed by me."
Fu Qianran's hands were shaking, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun looked at Fu Qianran who was kneeling down and said, "Since you are the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, you must be able to accommodate Wanhe..."
Fu Qianran whispered, "I understand. Aunt Ye has served Your Highness for many years. I will definitely tolerate Aunt Ye. I wonder what kind of status Your Highness plans to give Aunt Ye?"
Zhao Yun said: "In the backyard of the East Palace, there will only be you, the Crown Princess."
Fu Qianran whispered: "Then Aunt Ye..."
Zhao Yun said slowly: "She is just a senior maid in the East Palace."
Fu Qianran lowered her eyes. If Ye Wanhe could be given the title of concubine, then the status of a senior palace maid would be...
Fu Qianran clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
When the carriage arrived in front of Fu's house, Zhao Yun got off first.
Fu Qianran hurriedly got off the carriage, bowed to Zhao Yun and saw him off. Fu Qianran bit her lower lip to hold back the tears in her eyes.
The meaning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the carriage just now was very clear...
Fu Qianran just found it ridiculous that the woman the husband she was about to marry loved was not her, but someone else.
Fu Qianran sighed lightly. After all, she was still the high and mighty Crown Princess.
Anyway, I hope her children will have a bright future.
Fu Qianran could only comfort herself in this way when she saw the two people leaving with their fingers intertwined. Now she should prepare for the wedding in April.
Fu Qianran reached for her purse, which contained the Qilin lantern hair that Xie Shian had just given her. When she saw the colored glass lantern that the maid had taken down, she said, "Give me this colored glass lantern."
Fu Qianran gently stroked the glass lamp with her fingers, and brought it into the room with great care and hung it outside the bed curtain.
--
In Luoyang city.
Yun Xiangye and Gu Yanzhi played until after midnight before returning to the villa, where Nuonuo had already fallen asleep.
Gu Yan handed Nuonuo over to Run'er to take care of. He put his arm around Yun Xiangye and said, "I think it is necessary to make up for the wedding arrangements after returning to Chang'an."
Yun Xiangye was already drowsy. She looked at Gu Yan and said, "If you treat me better and take me to heart, I will never get married again. Don't think about getting married or not. It's time to go to sleep."
Gu Yan was still thinking about the fortune teller's words. He knew that he was a charlatan, but he was very unhappy to hear about two marriages on the Lantern Festival.
Gu Yan said: "It won't be too much trouble to hold a wedding in Chang'an City, and we have Jingyu to help us with it."
Yun Xiangye frowned and glared at Gu Yan, whispering: "Why do you take the words of a quack to heart? He said that my sister would be able to marry her lover, but Phoenix Flying, she can't even leave the palace. I didn't know that there would be Dark Dragon Guards watching her. This prince is really treacherous..."
Gu Yan covered Yun Xiangye's red lips and bit her.
Yun Xiangye gasped in pain: "Gu Yan!"
Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye into his arms and said, "Remember this, you must not say this in your heart. If you let it slip one day, I may not be able to save you."
Yun Xiangye sighed softly and said, "Alas, it's not as comfortable as when I was in Jiangnan."
Gu Yan didn't say anything more. It was true that there were many rules in Chang'an City, and it was not as free as in Yongxing City.
Yun Xiangye slept in a daze and had many dreams. When she woke up, she didn't know what she dreamed about.
Yun Xiangye went to the Su family early in the morning to say goodbye to Aunt Yun.
Aunt Yun was reluctant to part with Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "I don't know when we will meet again after this separation."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "Aunt, if I have time, I will bring Nuonuo to see you. Chang'an City is not far from Luoyang."
Aunt Yun said, "That's good, Xiangye. Although you are married to a top family in the Great Sheng Dynasty, if you are wronged, don't force yourself to endure it. After all, you still have your aunt here."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Aunt, don't worry, I'm not the type to tolerate being wronged."
Yun Xiangye spoke many more words to Aunt Yun reluctantly before getting into the carriage.
Gu Yan also followed Yun Xiang and Ye Ye onto the carriage road: "Chang'an and Luoyang are not far apart, but I will bring you to Luoyang when I have a day off in the future."
Yun Xiangye said: "Yeah."
On the way back, Gu Yan asked the coachman to speed up. The court was on holiday until the 18th day of the first lunar month. He had asked for many days off before, so he wanted to rush back to Chang'an on the 18th day of the first lunar month so that he would not have to ask for more days off.
After rushing no matter how hard they tried, they finally returned to Chang'an City on the 18th day of the first lunar month.
When Yun Xiangye entered Chang'an and approached the princess's mansion, he remembered something.
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "I took Nuonuo away from Chang'an for many days without telling you, and I didn't let you spend a reunion with your family during the Lantern Festival. Will your parents blame me?"
Gu Yan frowned slightly, "I forgot about this. You have to beg for mercy for me later."
Yun Xiangye was puzzled and asked, "Didn't you ask for mercy for me?"
Gu Yan looked a little flustered. He called Nuonuo over and said, "Can you please ask for mercy from Daddy later?"
Nuonuo tilted her head, obviously not understanding what begging meant, and blinked her eyes and said, "Okay."
The carriage arrived at the princess's mansion.
Gu Yan got off the carriage first. He helped Yun Xiangye get off the carriage and then carried Nuonuo in his arms.
Gu Yan took a deep breath, entered the gate of the princess's mansion, and saw Gu Ling sitting inside the door.
Gu Ling put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Gu Yan and said, "Kneel down."
When Yun Xiangye heard her father-in-law's voice, she was frightened and was about to kneel down like Gu Yan, but Gu Jingyu came over and helped Yun Xiangye up.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to kneel." Gu Jingyu said, "Nanny Cao told us what happened that day. It was my brother who was wrong. He even scolded Xiao Nuonuo and forced you and Nuonuo to leave home. It's all his fault!"
Gu Ling looked at Gu Yan who was kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "You are now an imperial censor in the imperial court. When you impeached the imperial official, did you also listen to the words of one person? You don't even trust your own daughter and you recklessly criticize her. You are unworthy of being a father!"
Gu Yan whispered, "I know I was wrong and have apologized to Nuonuo. Nuonuo, have you forgiven Daddy?"
Xiao Nuonuo blinked her small peach blossom eyes. The little girl didn't know what happened, but she knew that it seemed like her grandfather was helping her, so she trotted into Gu Ling's arms, "Grandpa."
Gu Ling held Xiao Nuonuo in his arms and said, "Will Grandfather avenge you?"
Nuonuo smiled and said, "Okay."
Gu Yan frowned slightly, looked at Yun Xiangye, and signaled Yun Xiangye to plead for him.
Xie Zhixuan came over from the side path and said, "What are you looking at Xiangye for? Xiangye is willing to come back with you because she is generous and doesn't care about you. Xiangye can easily forgive you for making Xiangye and Nuonuo suffer injustice, but the family rules cannot easily forgive you!"
