Gu Yan thought for a while before saying, "It's been almost six years."
Yun Xiangye glared at Gu Yan angrily. Six years? My cousin had actually been taking contraceptive pills for six years!
Gu Yan hurriedly said, "Xiangye, I will go and persuade His Highness not to let Aunt Ye take contraceptive pills anymore, but since you want to get your cousin out of the Eastern Palace, I'm sorry I can't do anything about it."
Yun Xiangye stood up and said, "What a pair of cousins! They are both shameless scoundrels with beastly hearts!"
Gu Yan hurriedly covered Yun Xiangye's mouth. "You scolded me, that's fine, but how dare you scold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Do you want to lose your head?"
Yun Xiangye shook off Gu Yan's hand and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to give my sister the title of Concubine, why not consider that my sister has been with him for so many years and preserve the master-servant relationship by letting my sister leave the palace?"
Gu Yan said: "For six years, even if it's just a dog, you wouldn't want to leave it, let alone the person next to you. Compared to being a concubine, as the head maid of the Eastern Palace, you can always be by His Highness's side. Everyone in the palace will give Aunt Ye some face, which is not a bad thing.
"And His Highness also likes Aunt Ye. Aunt Ye is the head maid in the East Palace, and His Highness will protect her well."
Yun Xiangye said, "Like? What do you mean by liking someone? As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you make your beloved woman a slave? If your Royal Highness, second only to the emperor, truly loves a woman, he will definitely overcome all difficulties to make her the Crown Princess."
Gu Yan frowned slightly and said, "Xiangye, are you confused? What is your cousin's status? How can she be qualified to be the Crown Princess?"
Yun Xiangye frowned. She blurted out these words because she was too angry. She also knew in her heart that her sister's identity was definitely not worthy of being the Crown Princess.
But when these words came out of Gu Yan's mouth, she felt really uncomfortable.
Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "Yes, my cousin is not worthy of being the Crown Princess, and I am not worthy of being your Prince Ning's Consort. If you look down on me like this, it would be better for us to divorce as soon as possible."
Yun Xiangye saw that Gu Yan's face deserved a beating, so she raised her hand and wanted to hit him, but this time Gu Yan had already dodged it.
Gu Yan raised his hand and grasped Yun Xiangye's wrist, saying, "Your Highness and I are different. Your Highness's Crown Princess will be the future Empress, the mother of the country! It's not that I look down on you and your cousin's backgrounds, but the Empress, the mother of the country, cannot be the daughter of a small-town merchant family."
Yun Xiangye said, "How funny! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that her background doesn't make her worthy of being a Crown Princess, yet at the same time he's reluctant to let her leave the palace. If he despises Sister He's background so much, why does he insist on forcing her to stay in the palace?"
Gu Yan said, "This was done by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why are you angry with me?"
Yun Xiangye said, "You are birds of a feather."
Gu Yan had a headache. "Yun Xiangye, I let you be unreasonable before, but now you want your cousin to be the Crown Princess. It is absolutely impossible in this lifetime. Even if the Crown Princess is not Fu Qianran, the most talented woman in Chang'an who has been well-read since childhood, it will definitely not be the hand of a palace maid."
Yun Xiangye became even more angry as she listened, "Do I want my cousin to be the Crown Princess? I want my cousin to leave the palace and reunite with my uncle and aunt!"
Gu Yan said with a headache: "You should rest early. You must be tired from traveling all the way, which is why you can't calm down these days."
Yun Xiangye also wanted to remain calm, but how could she remain calm when she saw her sister suffering so much grievance and helplessness?
I have suffered enough injustice myself, but I never expected that my sister, who grew up with me, would be bullied like this.
Yun Xiangye shed tears, knowing that Gu Yan didn't have her in his heart, but she didn't expect that he still looked down on her family so much.
Gu Yan stepped forward and wiped Yun Xiangye's tears, saying, "I will go to His Highness tomorrow and ask him not to give Aunt Ye any more contraceptive pills."
Yun Xiangye shook off Gu Yan's hand, "You don't have to be so sanctimonious and pretend to be kind."
After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she opened the study door and returned to her own room.
Inside the room, four maids from the palace were waiting for Yun Xiangye to return and give them names.
Yun Xiangye had no thoughts today, so she just asked Run'er to arrange for the four of them to stay first.
Yun Xiangye was alone in the room thinking about countermeasures, but no matter how hard she thought, she still couldn't come up with a perfect plan.
Now I can only wait for the Queen to get my cousin out of the Eastern Palace. Although this is not a good idea, it is the only hope to get my cousin out of the Eastern Palace.
--
At dinner time.
Zhao Yun looked at Empress Wei who had come to the East Palace, and hurriedly stood up from the table and bowed, saying, "Mother."
Queen Wei glanced at Zhao Yun, who was serving Ye Wanhe, and said slowly, "All of you should go out."
Zhao Yun poured a cup of tea for Empress Wei and said, "Mother, how come you have time to come to my place today?"
Empress Wei looked up at Zhao Yun and said unhappily, "Since your father ascended the throne, I have been the only Empress in the six palaces. Countless officials in the previous dynasty raised objections to this, and it took years to finally settle down. But you, on the other hand, haven't even taken a Crown Princess yet, and you've already gotten yourself a concubine?"
Queen Wei knew that her son, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, would have control over the three palaces and six courtyards in the future.
However, one should not do to others what one does not want others to do to him/herself. She asked for only one queen in the six palaces, and naturally, Empress Wei did not want her son's East Palace and backyard to have many wives and concubines.
Therefore, even though she knew that the Crown Princess was in mourning and could not enter the Eastern Palace, Empress Wei never arranged any concubines or good ladies to the Eastern Palace over the years.
Zhao Yun asked, "Mother, where did this concubine come from?"
Queen Wei said in a cold voice, "Ye Wanhe must leave the palace. A maid who seduces the master cannot stay in the Eastern Palace any longer."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Mother, you think too highly of Ye Wanhe. How could she possibly deceive the Lord? She is just a palace maid for my child's amusement."
