Wei Yu stood very close to Zhao Yun and served him tea, "Cousin, please have some tea."
Zhao Yun reached out and took the tea brewed by Wei Yu.
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but sneer. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really accepted everyone who came to him.
Gu Yan clearly said that Mr. Linlang had said that cousins could not get married. Could it be that Zhao Yun could not detect Wei Xi's thoughts?
He actually let Wei Xi's half body almost touch him?
However, Yun Xiangye thought that it would be better if Wei Xi could really become the Crown Princess, so that Zhao Yun would not harm other girls.
Zhao Rui walked over to Gu Yan and said, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, why didn't you bring Nuonuo with you?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Nuonuo fell asleep, so I didn't bring her with me."
Zhao Rui smiled and said, "I thought you two were a loving couple and thought Nuonuo was a burden."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly when she heard the word "burden oil bottle". "Cousin Rui, do you know what a burden oil bottle means?"
After Zhao Rui came to his senses, he apologized repeatedly to Yun Xiangye, "I'm sorry, cousin, it's my fault. I just got a jar of 18-year-old fine wine. I'll treat you to some wine later to apologize."
Yun Xiangye said, "Never mind. I rarely drink aged wine from outside."
Zhao Rui said, "This jar of Yuezhou Nv'erhong is a rare fine wine. It was collected by a wine shop in Chang'an City for many years. I spent a lot of money to buy it."
Gu Yan smiled upon hearing the word "fine wine" and said, "Those fine wines you have in your collection are probably no match for the exquisite daughter-red wine made by Xiangye's relatives. I've had the pleasure of drinking it three times, and the mellowness that comes from it is the real fine wine."
Zhao Rui said, "I almost forgot that my cousin's wife is from Yuezhou. Does she have any unmarried sisters at home? Do you have any fine wine that's over 20 years old? I'll go and ask for a glass of it then."
Yun Xiangye glanced at Zhao Yun, but quickly looked away.
According to the custom in Yongxing City, a jar of yellow wine will be buried when a daughter is born, and it will be opened on the day of her marriage.
Most girls get married at the age of 20 at the latest, but Sister He's jar of daughter's red wine has not been opened yet.
Gu Yan smiled at Zhao Rui and said, "How can a girl not be married at the age of twenty? Your cousin's wife got married at the age of twenty, but it's a pity that her jar of daughter's red wine has already been opened."
Zhao Rui said, "I heard that Aunt Ye beside His Highness is my cousin's sister-in-law's cousin? Now that she's entered the palace, is her jar of daughter's red wine still unopened?"
Wei Yu frowned slightly as she listened to what Zhao Rui said. Aunt Ye was the senior palace maid beside Zhao Yun. She was actually Yun Xiangye's cousin?
Wei Yu really didn't know about this.
Wei Xi sneered at Yun Xiangye and said, "So your cousin is Aunt Ye, Cousin-in-law. This is your fault. If you had told me earlier that your cousin was a servant serving the Crown Prince... I'm sure His Highness would have done you a favor and let your cousin leave the palace sooner rather than becoming a servant."
After Wei Yu finished speaking, regardless of Zhao Yun's unpleasant expression, she pressed half of her body against Zhao Yun and said, "Cousin, please order Aunt Ye to leave the palace right now. The Ning Wang Crown Prince's Consort is actually the cousin of a slave. This will inevitably make the Crown Prince's Consort the laughing stock of everyone."
As Wei Xi spoke, he looked at Yun Xiangye with a sneer in his eyes.
I already knew that Yun Xiangye was of humble origin, but I didn't expect that Yun Xiangye had a sister who worked as a servant in the palace.
Zhao Yun raised his eyes to look at Wei Yu and said coldly, "Get lost!"
Wei Yu couldn't believe what Zhao Yun said, "Cousin?"
Zhao Yun looked at the guards behind him and said, "Take Wei Xi away from this pleasure boat."
"Cousin, cousin..." Wei Xi frowned slightly, not knowing what she had said wrong.
Wei Qianlian said to Zhao Yun, "Your Highness, how has Mei'er offended you..."
Zhao Yun said, "If you want to beg for mercy, get out of here too."
Wei Qian didn't dare to say anything more.
Zhao Rui noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly ordered someone to bring in some aged fine wine. He poured a glass of wine for Zhao Yun and said, "Brother Emperor, please don't be angry. Try this fine daughter's red wine."
Zhao Yun frowned, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Rui whispered, "Brother Emperor, is there something bothering you? It's a shame to drink this fine wine in such big gulps."
After taking his seat, Gu Yan took the wine glass offered by Zhao Rui and chuckled, "Your Highness must be worried about who to choose as the Crown Princess at the March 3rd Concubine Selection Banquet in a few days."
Zhao Rui said, "Do we even need to choose? It must be Lin Bolan, the daughter of Prime Minister Lin."
Zhao Rui also poured a glass of wine for Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye did not refuse and took a sip. It was indeed the taste of the daughter's red wine in Yongxing City in her memory.
Yun Xiangye took a sip and missed her hometown even more.
Zhao Yun didn't care about Zhao Rui's guess about his intention to choose the Crown Princess, he just drank alone.
When choosing the Crown Princess five years ago, Zhao Yun had no difficulty at all. He just wanted someone who was dignified, generous, virtuous, and gentle enough to be the mother of the country.
But this time, Zhao Yun was not satisfied with anyone. Lin Bolan was indeed a rare candidate for the Crown Princess. Among the Chang'an daughters who had not yet found a marriage, Lin Bolan was indeed the most suitable to be the Crown Princess.
The only thing that was inappropriate was that Lin Bolan proposed marriage to Gu Yan almost four years ago. But after all, so many years have passed. As long as Lin Bolan becomes the Crown Princess, no one will mention the proposal again.
But Zhao Yun was very reluctant to choose her, and also to choose anyone else as the Crown Princess...
Apart from……
Zhao Yun thought of the person in his mind, and he drank another glass of aged wine.
Zhao Rui said, "Royal brother, could you please ask Aunt Ye for her jar of Nv'erhong wine for me? I'm willing to pay a large sum for her jar of Nv'erhong wine that's over 25 years old. If she's unwilling, please tell Aunt Ye to invite me to the wedding banquet when she opens the Nv'erhong wine. I want to taste what 25 years of Nv'erhong wine tastes like."
