Chapter 82: Sleepiness
Yun Xiangye couldn't hold back her worries and said to Gu Yan, "I have to go to the East Palace tomorrow to tell Sister He and Uncle that they are coming to Chang'an."
Gu Yan said: "If you tell Sister He about this, won't that make one more person worry?"
Yun Xiangye said, "But we can't hide this from Sister He, especially since we have the reply letter from her uncle and aunt."
Gu Yan said: "Okay, I'll take you to the East Palace tomorrow afternoon."
Gu Yan gently put his arm around Yun Xiangye's shoulders and said, "Just take a good rest today. Don't think too much, and don't worry too much. Your uncle and aunt are coming here on an official ship, so they won't encounter any difficulties on the way."
Nuonuo stretched out her little hand to hold Yunxiangye's. Yunxiangye touched Nuonuo's little head and fell asleep with Nuonuo.
When Yun Xiangye saw Gu Yan lying next to her, she did not push him away. After all, if her uncle and aunt wanted to see Sister He, they could not do without Gu Yan's help.

The next afternoon.
In the East Palace, Ye Wanhe, who was boiling medicine, felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen.
Ye Wanhe stroked her lower abdomen gently, thinking that it was because she had taken too many contraceptive pills in the past few days, so her menstrual period had been delayed and her lower abdomen was often painful.
Hearing the voice coming from outside, Ye Wanhe hurried to the outside of the bedroom to take a look. Seeing that it was Yun Xiangye, Ye Wanhe smiled and said, "Prince's Consort, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Sister...Aunt Ye." Yun Xiangye entered the bedroom, closed the door and said, "Sister."
Ye Wanhe held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Your Highness just said last night that you were going to go boating on the second day of the second lunar month. I was thinking of meeting you on the second day of the second lunar month, but I didn't expect to see you today. Why did you leave Chang'an without saying goodbye on the tenth day?"
Yun Xiangye said, "This is a long story. It's over now so let's not talk about it anymore. My uncle and aunt's reply has arrived."
Ye Wanhe raised her eyebrows and hurriedly took the envelope from Yun Xiangye.
Ye Wanhe looked at the letter and found only a few short words inside, which were nothing more than asking her to serve her master well and not to miss her family.
Ye Wanhe held the letter tightly in her hand with tears in her eyes. She knew very well that this was not her parents' original intention, but the letter sent to the palace had to say so.
Yun Xiangye lowered her voice and whispered in Ye Wanhe's ear: "My uncle and aunt have already come to Chang'an. They are slower than the messenger and are traveling on an official ship. They will arrive in Chang'an in March or April."
Ye Wanhe couldn't help but said with concern: "It's a long way from Yongxing City to Chang'an..."
Yun Xiangye said: "Gu Yan has sent someone to meet us halfway. We can rest assured that we are on an official ship."
Ye Wanhe only felt a pain in her lower abdomen. She held her abdomen and slowly sat down at the table beside her.
Seeing that Ye Wanhe was in great pain, Yun Xiangye hurried forward and asked, "Sister, are you okay?"
Ye Wanhe only felt a warm current flowing down her lower abdomen. She said slowly, "Maybe it's my period. It's nothing. Wait for me for a while. I'll go change my clothes."
When Yun Xiangye saw Ye Wanhe go into the inner room, she didn't dare to go in and just waited outside for Ye Wanhe to come out.
Ye Wanhe came out very quickly. She stroked her belly and said, "It was very painful this time."
Ye Wanhe walked to the medicine stove and poured the boiled medicine into the cup.
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe in front of her and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Sister, are you still taking contraceptive pills?"
Ye Wanhe said helplessly: "Drinking contraceptive pills can prevent too many troubles. My parents are coming to Chang'an, and I don't know if I can see them, even from a distance."
Yun Xiangye said: "Gu Yan has promised me that he will find a way to let you meet the above."
Ye Wanhe couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation when she heard Yun Xiangye's words, but her lower abdomen was getting more and more painful, and she could hardly stand.
Yun Xiangye hurriedly helped Ye Wanhe up and said, "Sister, go lie down for a while."
After Ye Wanhe lay down, she said to Yun Xiangye, "Please help me get the medicine."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, took the medicine to Ye Wanhe and said, "You have your period, so you don't need to take the medicine."
Ye Wanhe still drank the medicine and chuckled, "I have already boiled it, it can't be in vain."
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe distressedly, "I'll ask an imperial physician to come and see you. You seem to be in quite a lot of pain."
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "I am just a servant in the Eastern Palace. How can I let the imperial physician check my pulse? I am fine. Women will always feel pain for two or three days after their menstrual period. I will be fine after lying down for a while."
Yun Xiangye said: "But I see that you seem to be in great pain."
Ye Wanhe stroked her belly gently and said, "It will be fine in a while."
Seeing this, Yun Xiangye stopped bothering Ye Wanhe and said, "Then you should take a good rest. I'll see you on the pleasure boat on the second day of the New Year."
Ye Wanhe nodded. She was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to get up and help Yun Xiangye.
After a long while, the pain slowly subsided.
Ye Wanhe fell asleep and when she woke up, it was already dusk.
Seeing Zhao Yun in front of her, Ye Wanhe stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun looked at her and said, "You seem to be particularly sleepy these days."
Ye Wanhe whispered, "Maybe it's spring, the time when we feel sleepy and tired."
Zhao Yun raised his eyes to look at Ye Wanhe and said, "Did your parents write back to you?
"Yes." Ye Wanhe handed the letter to Zhao Yun and said, "My parents asked me to serve His Highness well."
Zhao Yun glanced at the letter and pulled Ye Wanhe into his arms. Ye Wanhe hurriedly said, "Your Highness, not today. I have my period today."
Zhao Yun placed his hand on Ye Wanhe's lower abdomen and said, "You were indeed tired the past few nights. You should rest well in the next few days when your menstrual period comes."
Ye Wanhe stood up from Zhao Yun's arms and said, "Yes, I will take my leave now."
Zhao Yun said: "I didn't ask you to leave, you stay."
Ye Wanhe whispered, "I have my period and I am afraid that I may dirty your bed and bedding."
Zhao Yun said: "I don't mind you being dirty."
Ye Wanhe raised her eyes to glance at Zhao Yun, then quickly lowered her eyes.
In the past, when she had her period, she would not stay in the bedroom, but today Zhao Yun asked her to stay in the bedroom?
Seeing that Ye Wanhe looked unwell, Zhao Yun helped her lie down and said, "You should lie down and rest for the next two days."
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
--
The second day of the second month is the day when the dragon raises its head, all things come back to life and the sun shines brightly.
Early in the morning, Yun Xiangye began to dress up and prepare for the afternoon boat trip on the lake.
After waiting for Gu Yan to return from the court, Yun Xiangye took Nuonuo and got on the carriage with Gu Jingyu, "Little Jingru, aren't you going to go boating?"
Gu Jingyu chuckled and said, "Jingru can't be as well-behaved as Nuonuo. I'm afraid she will make a lot of noise and make Cousin Rui too tired to look at her properly, so I won't bring Jingru with me."
The carriage from the princess's mansion arrived in front of Prime Minister Lin's mansion.
Lin Bolan was already waiting at the door, and when he saw the carriage coming, he got on it.
Yun Xiangye smiled and said when she saw Lin Bolan coming over, "Junior Sister Lin."
Lin Bolan also chuckled at Yun Xiangye, "Crown Prince's Consort."
Yun Xiangye took the dress beside her and said, "This is the red plum-shaped dress with large sleeves that I made for you. Would you like to try it on? The carriage is spacious enough to change into this dress."
Lin Bolan took the dress, looked at the pattern on it and said, "This is my painting of red plum blossoms. The Crown Prince's wife has really skillful hands. The one you embroidered is much more beautiful than the one I drew. I am a little reluctant to wear it."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "You draw better."
Lin Bolan changed her clothes in the carriage. She said, "Thank you, Princess. This dress is just right for me."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "No need to thank me, Junior Sister Lin is really pretty."
Nuonuo looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Mother, it looks good."
Yun Xiangye chuckled, and Gu Jingyu on the side teased Nuonuo and said, "Only mother is pretty, isn't aunt pretty too?"
Nuonuo threw herself into Gu Jingyu's arms and said, "Aunt, it looks good."
Gu Jingyu smiled and kissed Nuonuo on the cheek, "What a well-behaved Nuonuo."
Several people arrived at the houseboat docked at the pier.
Xie Shian and Zhao Rui were already on the pleasure boat.
When Yun Xiangye got off the carriage, she saw a gentle and elegant man beside Gu Yan, and asked Gu Jingyu, "Who is that man?"
"He is Sister Bo Lan's brother, Lin Yu, the son of Prime Minister Lin, and also a good friend of my brother."
Yun Xiangye nodded in response to Lin Yu's gaze, then went into the house with Gu Jingyu.
Gu Yan frowned, looked at Lin Yu and said, "Why are you looking at my wife?"
Lin Yu chuckled and said, "Can't you even take a look?"
Gu Yan said: "Of course not."
Lin Yu couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm not Zhao Jing..."
Gu Yan frowned and glanced at Lin Yu, who just chuckled and said, "Let's get on the pleasure boat."
Yun Xiangye and Gu Jingyu entered the houseboat together. The houseboat was very large, with carved beams and painted rafters, and was magnificent. There were tea rooms and cabins on the first floor, and a banquet hall on the second floor. The deck was very spacious, and one could see the lake view.
This pleasure boat can accommodate a hundred people.
It was the first time that Yun Xiangye had seen such a luxurious pleasure boat. It must be a unique experience to cruise on the lake on this pleasure boat.
