Chapter 66: Can Nuonuo make peace with Daddy?
Gu Yan put down the teacup in his hand. "It's not that I don't care about her. It's just that after returning to Chang'an, I also have a lot of official business to deal with. She often quarrels with me because I concealed her background. She doesn't want to talk to me properly. Once she talks, she quarrels... It's not that I don't care about her."
Su Zhan asked curiously, "Then why did you hide your origins from Xiang Ye?"
Gu Yan said: "There were many reasons at that time. The official tea corruption needed to be investigated. I couldn't reveal my identity. I also felt that there was no need to tell my identity. I couldn't return to Chang'an for a while anyway. What does my background have to do with living together as a couple?"
Su Zhan said, "How can it be okay? You are not alone, you have relatives and friends. From what Xiangye said, more than one cousin of yours looks down on Xiangye's background. Xiangye will face a completely unfamiliar environment when she comes to Chang'an, and you didn't even prepare her for it."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "I know I was wrong. I will never let Xiangye and Nuonuo suffer any injustice again in the future."
Su Zhan thought that since Gu Yan was the Prince of Ning and had humbly admitted his mistakes, he was not hopeless, so he said, "It is a great thing to admit one's mistakes and then improve. Prince, please take a rest in the carriage for a while."
Gu Yan did not refuse. He leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. Yun Xiangye was a difficult person to coax. He was extremely tired and sleepy at the moment. It would be better for him to have a good rest before coaxing Yun Xiangye.
In the carriage behind.
Yun Xiangye played the ball throwing game with Xiao Nuonuo, and Xiao Nuonuo giggled.
Yun Xiangye couldn't laugh at this moment. She didn't expect Gu Yan to catch up with her. He obviously didn't care about her and Nuonuo, so why did he chase her all night?
Yun Xiangye played with Nuonuo for quite a while, and it was already noon.
The carriage team stopped to rest, had a meal in a nearby restaurant, and then continued on their journey.
As soon as Yun Xiangye opened the curtain of the carriage, she saw Gu Yan in front of her. She frowned and glared at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan reached out his hand to support Yun Xiangye. Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan and jumped off the carriage by herself.
Gu Yan had no choice but to pick up the little Nuonuo inside: "Nuonuo, daddy will hold you."
She raised her little chin to the upper left, pursed her lips and hummed softly.
Gu Yan stepped forward and held Xiao Nuonuo in his arms, "You and your mother are exactly the same when you are angry. So cute."
Gu Yan touched little Nuonuo's face and coaxed her softly, "Daddy will never scold you without knowing the reason again in the future. This time, daddy knows he was wrong. Nuonuo, please forgive daddy, okay?"
Xiao Nuonuo broke free from Gu Yan's arms and ran out of the carriage. Yun Xiangye hurriedly caught Xiao Nuonuo under the carriage.
After entering the restaurant, Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo sat down and saw Gu Yan sitting in front of her. Yun Xiangye frowned, picked up Nuonuo and moved to another table.
Gu Yan chased after him again, "Xiang Ye."
Yun Xiangye frowned and looked at Gu Yan and said, "There are so many empty seats in this room, and you have to come to me to make me so sick that I can't eat, right?"
Gu Yan also frowned.
Seeing this, Su Zhan hurried forward and said to Gu Yan, "Prince, why don't you and I have some wine at the same table, and let the mother and daughter have a good meal first."
Seeing that Yun Xiangye's eyes were full of disgust towards him, Gu Yan could only helplessly follow Su Zhan to the table nearby to eat and drink.
Gu Yan's eyes were on Yun Xiangye and her daughter.
Su Zhan looked at Gu Yan and said, "Xiang Ye is probably still angry right now. Let my mother try to persuade her when we get to Luoyang."
Gu Yan picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in it. He then found the guard of the princess's mansion and asked him to go back and inform the prince and his parents that he would return to Chang'an after the Lantern Festival.
After eating and drinking, the carriage set off.
After lunch, Nuonuo felt sleepy, so Yun Xiangye accompanied Nuonuo to lie down in the carriage to rest.
As she lay there, Yun Xiangye fell into a deep sleep. After sleeping for about half an hour, she felt a familiar breathing sound beside her.
Yun Xiangye opened her eyes and saw that it was Gu Yan, and she said angrily: "Get out! We are getting divorced and are no longer husband and wife..."
Gu Yan said: "I haven't agreed to a divorce. I've already told you that if you want a divorce, you can only keep Nuonuo."
Yun Xiangye stood up and raised his hand. This time, Gu Yan neither stopped him nor dodged, allowing Yun Xiangye to hit him.
Yun Xiangye didn't slap her, but said angrily: "You don't care about Nuonuo. In your eyes, Nuonuo is not as important as your good cousin being bitten!"
Gu Yan said, "When we get to Chang'an, I will ask Nan'an to apologize to you for being disrespectful to you. I will never blame Nuonuo indiscriminately again in the future. Nuonuo is also my daughter, how can I not care about her?"
Yun Xiangye: "What you mean by caring is to let Nuonuo suffer injustice?"
Gu Yan said: "I already know I was wrong, you have to give me a chance to correct it."
Yun Xiangye looked into Gu Yan's eyes and said, "Do you think that since you are the Prince of Ning, if you can humbly say that you admitted your mistakes, Nuonuo and I will have to forgive you?"
Gu Yan said: "I didn't mean that."
Yun Xiangye snorted, "Go down quickly, I don't want to see you."
Gu Yan did not obediently get off the carriage, but hugged her tightly in his arms, "Do you know how worried I was about you last night? How could you leave without saying goodbye?"
Yun Xiangye struggled to break free from Gu Yan's embrace, "Let me go!"
Gu Yan said: "You are very powerful in front of me, why don't you fight back when Nan An scolds you?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I fight back? Nuonuo just bit Nan'an, and you got angry and scolded her. Princess Nan'an is a princess of the royal family, so what qualifications do I have to fight back against Princess Nan'an?"
Gu Yan said: "You are my Crown Prince's Consort. In Chang'an City, apart from His Majesty, the Queen, the Crown Prince, and my parents, if anyone makes you unhappy, you can vent your anger as you wish if you are right. I will support you."
Yun Xiangye snorted softly and said, "You want me to vent my anger as I please? After you know this, you won't scold me like you scolded Nuonuo yesterday?"
Gu Yan said, "Yesterday I really didn't know that Nan An bullied you first, nor did I know that it was that little girl Jing Ru who taught Nuonuo to bite people. At that time, my cousin Zhao Rui and Senior Brother Lin were by my side. We only knew that Nuonuo bit the elders. If I knew that Nuonuo was trying to protect you, I would definitely not blame Nuonuo."
Yun Xiangye sneered, "Why are you making so many excuses? You just feel bad for your little cousin getting bitten!"
Gu Yan said: "I really don't feel sorry for Nan'an at all, I'm just afraid that Nuonuo will be criticized by others for biting elders at such a young age, so I am anxious to teach Nuonuo well.
After returning to Chang'an, I will definitely ask Nan'an to come to you to apologize. If Nan'an does not want you to apologize, I will cut off all ties with the Chu Palace in the future."
"Oh!"
Yun Xiangye just sneered.
Gu Yan whispered, "You want to celebrate the Lantern Festival at your aunt's house. You probably don't want your aunt, who you haven't seen for many years, to worry about us young people, right? Don't let your aunt worry about you during the first month of the year."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "This time it's not about whether I forgive you or not. I am willing to stay in the Princess's Mansion and put up with you for Nuonuo, but you made my Nuonuo suffer. If Nuonuo doesn't forgive you, I will definitely not forgive you either."
Gu Yan looked at Xiao Nuonuo beside him. Xiao Nuonuo opened her eyes, saw Gu Yan, and blinked her peach blossom eyes.
Gu Yan saw Nuonuo wake up, so he picked up little Nuonuo. Little Nuonuo resisted and tried to break free from Gu Yan's arms, "Bad!"
Gu Yan opened the curtain of the carriage and called Qing Ming, who handed in a string of candied haws from outside.
Gu Yan held up the candied haws in front of Xiao Nuonuo and asked, "Do you want to eat some?"
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and looked at Gu Yan.
Xiao Nuonuo nodded his little head.
Gu Yan then took little Nuonuo into his arms and gave her the candied haws. "Nuonuo, can you make peace with daddy now?"
Xiao Nuonuo held a candied haws in her hand, but she didn't eat it. She just looked up at Yun Xiangye.
Xiao Nuonuo put the candied haws back into Gu Yan's hands, walked into Yun Xiangye's arms and said, "Mom, buy it!"
Yun Xiangye smiled and kissed the side of Xiao Nuonuo's face, "You really are worthy of being mother's good daughter. Nuonuo, just bear with it. When we get to Luoyang City, mother will buy you all kinds of candied haws."
Xiao Nuonuo nodded, but her little peach blossom eyes occasionally glanced at the candied haws in Gu Yan's hand.
Gu Yan handed the candied haws to Nuonuo and said, "You can still eat candied haws even if you don't make peace with daddy."
Yun Xiangye took the candied haws from Gu Yan and gave it to Nuonuo, who then handed the candied haws to Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye ate one and said with a smile, "It's so sweet. Eat it yourself, Nuonuo."
Gu Yan looked at Xiao Nuonuo, hoping that Xiao Nuonuo would also give him a candied haws to eat, but Xiao Nuonuo didn't give him any until she ate the last one.
Nuonuo took a bite of the last candied haws, raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan, and handed the only remaining candied haws to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan chuckled and walked over to touch Xiao Nuonuo's head, "Thank you Nuonuo, Nuonuo is so good."
Gu Yan took a bite of the last candied haws that Nuonuo gave him.
When Nuonuo saw Gu Yan take a bite, she covered her mouth with her little hands and smiled secretly, her peach blossom eyes were curved, and she looked so cute.
Yun Xiangye didn't know why Nuonuo was laughing so secretly, but she saw Gu Yan's eyebrows wrinkled because of the sourness of the last hawthorn...
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but laugh out loud.
