The nights in mid-November were already freezing cold.
There is a brazier in the bedroom of the embroidery workshop for heating.
When Yun Xiangye entered, she saw Gu Yan sitting in front of the desk, staring blankly at the documents in front of him.
Yun Xiangye has been only concerned about her sister these days and has neglected Gu Yan. For Gu Yan, the person who died was his cousin who grew up with him, and he must be extremely sad.
However, Yun Xiangye had no choice but to hide this matter from Gu Yan. Even if Gu Yan found out the truth one day and resented her, Yun Xiangye had no choice but to hide it from Gu Yan.
"Mother."
Yun Xiangye picked up Nuonuo and walked to Gu Yan's side.
Seeing Yun Xiangye approaching, Gu Yan reached out and pulled both Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo into his arms. The three of them hugged each other tightly and said, "Life is unpredictable. No one could have imagined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would die so young. We should cherish every day of our lives."
Yun Xiangye lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a surge of guilt towards Gu Yan, but then she thought about how much pain her sister had suffered because of the Crown Prince.
Just six years of using contraceptive pills is enough to show how harmful they are to your health.
I love Gu Yan, but I feel more sorry for Sister He.
She will keep this matter a secret from Gu Yan for the rest of her life. If one day she can no longer hide it, even if Gu Yan hates her or blames her, she will only stand on her sister's side.
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand again and said, "What a pity! Our wedding ceremony will be delayed for a whole year."
Yun Xiangye said calmly, "It's okay. It's only been a year. In the blink of an eye, we've been in Chang'an for almost a year."
Gu Yan hummed and said, "The Empress has been bedridden these past two days due to excessive grief. His Majesty is also deeply saddened and has lost interest in state affairs. The Emperor's grandson is still young, so I may be busy with government affairs in the future. After all, the Emperor's grandson is too young."
Yun Xiangye sighed softly when she heard that the Queen Mother was bedridden. The Queen Mother was the most innocent person in this matter.
The pain of losing a son was like an old man sending off a young one. Empress Wei was completely innocent.
But when Yun Xiangye thought of her uncle and aunt who were honest, aggrieved and crying silently, she could only choose her closest relatives.
If the Queen wants to blame someone, she can only blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for all the evil things he has done.
Yun Xiangye leaned on Gu Yan's shoulder and said, "I've heard that His Majesty has been letting Father-in-law supervise the country these days. His Majesty trusts Father-in-law very much."
Gu Yan said, "Well, they grew up together and are brothers. Moreover, the relationship between the young emperor's grandson and our Gu family is even closer. Only our Gu family will wholeheartedly assist the young emperor's grandson."
Yun Xiangye actually believed what Gu Yan said. After all, the Wei family's children were not the Crown Princess's biological children.
Gu Yan lowered his eyebrows and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, follow me back to the Princess's Mansion. Now the Princess's Mansion and the Crown Princess must be on the same side. Come with me..."
Yun Xiangye whispered, "Okay, I'll go back with you. I'll leave the care of the little grandson in your hands from now on."
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Well, whether it's for my brother the Crown Prince or for you, I will do my best to help my little grandson grow up and become the Emperor of Dasheng."
Qingfeng Garden, which I have not seen for a long time, still looks the same as before.
Yun Xiangye returned to Qingfeng Garden again, and her mood had changed.
Xiao Nuonuo didn't really like going back to Qingfeng Garden. After all, Qingfeng Garden was much bigger than the embroidery workshop, and her room was no longer adjacent to their bedroom, so she had to walk a long way to get there.
However, after returning to Qingfeng Garden, Xiao Nuonuo was still very happy to play with her aunt Jingru every day.
After the death of the crown prince, the country was in mourning for a year. During this period, no banquets or opera performances were allowed, so the business of the Five-Color Embroidery Workshop plummeted. Yun Xiangye hurried to buy some plain-colored fabrics. These plain-colored dresses helped the embroidery workshop to not be completely without business.

Yongxing City.
The small city in the south of the Yangtze River, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, did not have to observe the national mourning as strictly as Chang'an.
During the twelfth lunar month, every household starts preparing for the New Year.
Yun Shuangbai and Chen Lang came to the market with their newborn son in their arms.
The baby went out for the first time, with his round eyes wide open, looking at everything in wonder.
Seeing her son's appearance, Yun Shuangbai said to Chen Lang beside her, "I miss Nuonuo. It's been almost a year since I last saw her."
Chen Lang consoled Yun Shuang and said, "Didn't your brother-in-law ask us to go to Chang'an together? When the child is older and can go on the road, we will take him to Chang'an, and you will be able to see your sister and Nuonuo."
Yun Shuangbai smiled gently and said, "Well, we'll set off when the child turns one year old."
Yun Shuangbai and Chen Lang walked onto a street and saw a large group of people gathered together. From the crowd, someone said, "This slave is quite good-looking, but unfortunately, he's mute."
"It's quite expensive, fifty taels of silver."
"I want it."
A woman in the crowd walked up to the trafficker and asked, "What's the name of this slave?"
"Mrs. Zhu Er, his name is Gou'er, and he's a mute."
"Sister." Shen Lang saw his sister Shen Qing, and walked to Shen Qing's side with the child in his arms and said, "Sister, this mute slave wants fifty taels of silver, which is really too expensive, and the look in his eyes is very fierce."
Seeing her nephew in Shen Lang's arms, Shen Qing chuckled and took the baby from Shen Lang's arms. "I think he looks a bit like your brother-in-law, and I also think it's a bit pitiful for him to be sold back and forth like this. I might as well buy him and make him a servant."
"Does he look alike?" Yun Shuangbai leaned closer to the mute slave and looked at him. "He does look a bit like my brother-in-law Gu Yan, but he's not as good-looking as my brother-in-law."
Zhao Yun, who was forced to be tied up, heard the words "brother-in-law Gu Yan" and looked up at Yun Shuangbai.
