Yun Xiangye chuckled softly, "As long as you have this ambition, that's all. Do you want me to accompany you tomorrow?"
Ye Li said, "Sister, I'm grown up now. I can go by myself. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and nodded, "Well, I believe you. Studying and getting a good degree are not something that can be achieved overnight. Many scholars who studied hard for ten years still couldn't achieve fame. You don't have to rush for success."
Ye Li responded, "I know, sister. Although I really want to pass the imperial examination and win an imperial decree for my mother so that she can come to the palace to meet me during festivals, I also know that haste makes waste."
Yun Xiangye smiled lightly and said, "Yeah."
Yun Xiangye comforted her uncle and aunt for a few more words before returning to the Princess's Mansion.
Today in the Princess's Mansion, Yun Xiangye met Lord Lin, his wife, and Lin Bolan. Behind Lin Bolan was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen who looked somewhat like his wife.
"The Crown Princess."
Mrs. Lin Xiang and Lin Bolan bowed when they saw Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye returned the greeting, "Lord Prime Minister Lin, Madam Lin, Junior Sister."
Yun Xiangye walked back inside and bowed to Prince Ning and the eldest princess, saying, "Father-in-law, Mother."
After she finished speaking, Yun Xiangye stood obediently beside the eldest princess, listening to their conversation. It sounded like Prime Minister Lin had something important to ask for, but Yun Xiangye didn't take it to heart. After all, she couldn't understand the official business in the court.
After seeing off Lin Xiang and his family, Xie Zhixuan looked at Gu Ling and asked, "Does Senior Brother Qin have any spots left?"
Gu Ling said: "I heard that we can accept another apprentice. Lin Shang helped us teach Yan'er back then, so we have to help him."
Yun Xiangye heard that it seemed to be a matter concerning Wanliu Academy. She wanted to plead for Ye Li as well, but after thinking about it carefully, she gave up.
After Yun Xiangye bowed, she returned to Qingfeng Garden.
Gu Jingyu and Xiao Jingshu were playing house with Nuonuo, taking pulses and giving acupuncture. Yun Xiangye smiled softly when she saw Xiao Nuonuo imitating her in taking pulses.
"Mom." When little Nuonuo saw Yun Xiangye coming, she ran into Yun Xiangye's arms.
Yun Xiangye picked up little Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo."
Gu Jingyu looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Sister-in-law, Nuonuo is a good candidate for studying medicine."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly: "If Nuonuo really has a talent for medicine, then let her study medicine well and let Nuonuo become your disciple."
Nuonuo was born into a wealthy family, so she would never be short of food and clothing in her life, not to mention the salary of a princess. But Yun Xiangye thought it would be good if Nuonuo could learn a good skill.
Gu Jingyu smiled and said, "It's great that I can have a disciple like Nuonuo."
Yun Xiangye looked at the little Nuonuo in her arms and said, "Nuonuo, kneel down and pay your respects to your aunt as her disciple."
Gu Jingyu waved her hands and said, "No need, no need."
Little Nuonuo knelt down obediently to pay homage to her master. Gu Jingyu quickly picked up Little Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo is so cute. Auntie likes you so much."
Seeing little Nuonuo smiling in Gu Jingyu's arms, Yun Xiangye felt relieved. After she divorced Gu Yan, Nuonuo was left unattended and bullied in the Princess's Mansion. At least Gu Jingyu was there to help her protect Nuonuo.
At nightfall, Yun Xiangye sang Jiangnan ballads to Nuonuo and coaxed her to sleep. Then she saw Gu Yan who appeared at the door without her knowing.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, Sister He has already promised His Highness that she will be Wei Zhenzhu. On the sixth day of April, she will marry His Highness as the daughter of the Wei family. You should not mention the word divorce anymore..."
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yan: "Sister agreed? How could she agree?"
Gu Yan said, "Sister is much more sensible than you. She is pregnant with the Emperor's eldest grandson. If she doesn't agree to become the Crown Princess, what will happen to the child? Besides, the wedding is approaching, and we can't let the Great Sheng Dynasty be laughed at by the world without a Crown Princess."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, then looked at Gu Yan for a moment and said, "Then you and I will divorce immediately after my sister's wedding. After all, my uncle and aunt have been living in Chang'an for a long time, so sooner or later we won't be able to hide this from them. If we divorce now, I might not even be able to attend my sister's wedding banquet."
Gu Yan sat down next to Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, since my sister has agreed to become the Crown Princess, you must not divorce me."
Yun Xiangye asked, "Why?"
Gu Yan said, "After all, my sister is not the biological daughter of the Wei family. Her future children will need someone to rely on, and our Gu family will be the greatest support for the grandson in my sister's womb in the court."
Yun Xiangye sneered, "Gu Yan, don't think that just because I come from a commoner family and live in a woman's family, I don't know these things. His Majesty has only one prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only has one child, his sister's unborn child. He's the eldest and the legitimate grandson of the Emperor, so why would he need the support of the court? It's only a matter of time before he ascends the throne. Don't even think about trying to bluff me."
Gu Yan took a deep breath and asked, "Are you really willing to give up Nuonuo?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Even after I divorce you, I will still be Nuonuo's mother. I will also ask Jingyu to bring Nuonuo to see me every now and then. Naturally, I won't be sad to let her go."
Gu Yan frowned and left with a wave of his sleeves.
Yun Xiangye saw Gu Yan leave and fell asleep with Nuonuo in her arms.

The next morning, Su Zhan took Ye Li to Wanliu Academy to meet Dean Qin.
Su Zhan handed over the calligraphy with both hands and said, "Dean Qin, this is Wang Youjun's authentic calligraphy. I've heard that Dean Qin likes calligraphy. A sword worthy of a hero, so I'll give this authentic calligraphy to Dean Qin today."
Dean Qin took the calligraphy that Su Zhan handed over with both hands. He also took it with both hands and looked at it carefully. After carefully examining it, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "This is really an authentic work of Wang Youjun. Brother Su, what do you want by bringing this calligraphy here today?"
