Princess Mansion, Qingfeng Garden.
After finishing his official business in the study, Gu Yan returned home and looked at the closed door. He pushed it but it didn't open. He knocked for a long time but no one answered. He could only hear the laughter of Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo, mother and daughter.
"Nuonuo, open the door for Daddy."
Inside the room, Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo were playing with a cloth tiger. Nuonuo heard Gu Yan calling out to her to open the door: "Daddy."
Yun Xiangye looked at Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo, Daddy has made Mommy angry. We'll just ignore him for a few days, okay?"
Xiao Nuonuo nodded and said, "Okay."
Yun Xiangye smiled gently when she saw her daughter nodding cutely, not knowing whether Xiao Nuonuo understood.
Yun Xiangye blew out the lamp, hugged Nuonuo and fell asleep.
Perhaps the people outside noticed that the lights inside were off, and soon there was no more knocking on the door.
Early the next morning.
Yun Xiangye, who had just woken up, received an invitation from the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
The plum blossoms in the Red Plum Garden of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion are in full bloom recently, and the wives and daughters of the wealthy and powerful families in Chang'an City are invited to come and appreciate the plum blossoms.
Yun Xiangye had no interest in appreciating plum blossoms, but the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion was the maiden home of Gu Yan's grandmother, so she couldn't refuse.
When Yun Xiangye was thinking about what to wear when going to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, she saw Gu Jingyu coming in from outside the door, bringing with her several pieces of high-quality brocade fabric.
Gu Jingyu smiled at Yun Xiangye and said, "Sister-in-law, mother received an invitation to the plum blossom viewing banquet at the Duke of Wei's mansion, and she specially asked me to send you some cloth. However, there are still three days to go, and I'm afraid the embroiderers at the mansion won't be able to make you clothes in time. I will take you to the ready-made clothing shop to choose clothes and jewelry."
Yun Xiangye said hurriedly, "No need, I have clothes."
Gu Jingyu chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, please accompany me. I also want to pick out some jewelry and clothes. It would be nice if I could even take Nuonuo to Chang'an Avenue to see the hustle and bustle."
Yun Xiangye responded, "Okay."
Yun Xiangye waited for Nuonuo to wake up, and after helping Nuonuo wash and dress, she carried little Nuonuo and went to Chang'an Street with Gu Jingyu.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, people are busy buying New Year's goods and new cloth, and the streets of Chang'an are very busy.
Little Nuonuo lay on the window of the sedan chair, looking at the bustling scene outside. His round eyes were fixed on the vendor's candied haws, and his little hand stretched out, "Mom, gourd..."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and took back the little hand that Nuonuo had extended. "I'll buy you some candied haws when I get home after buying clothes."
Yun Xiangye saw the sedan chair stop in front of a grand second-floor shop facing the street.
Yun Xiangye got off the sedan chair and saw a plaque in front of her with the words "Chu Jing Pavilion" written on it.
Gu Jingyu walked over to Yun Xiangye and said, "Sister-in-law, this clothing store is the best in Chang'an City. The clothes inside are all top-grade, and the embroiderers' embroidery skills are comparable to those in the palace."
The female shopkeeper from Chu Jing Pavilion came to the door to greet her. "Princess Yu, you haven't been here for a long time. Who is this distinguished guest?"
When the female shopkeeper saw Yun Xiangye holding a child behind Gu Jingyu, she felt that she looked unfamiliar.
Gu Jingyu smiled lightly and said, "This is my sister-in-law."
Inside Chu Jing Pavilion, a gorgeously dressed young woman was startled when she heard this. She hurried to the door and asked Gu Jingyu, "Jingyu, sister-in-law? Which sister-in-law?"
Gu Jingyu chuckled and said, "Sister Lin, who else could it be? It's naturally my brother's wife."
Yun Xiangye looked at the woman in front of her who was wearing a pink crabapple-shaped skirt. She had a pair of extremely moving peach blossom eyes and was very beautiful.
Lin Bolan looked at Yun Xiangye and said with a sore throat, "Are you Senior Brother Gu's wife?"
Yun Xiangye heard the woman's voice trembling, as if she was about to burst into tears. She smiled lightly and said, "Ms. Lin, I am Gu Yan's wife."
Lin Bolan clutched the edge of her skirt tightly, her gaze still fixed on Yun Xiangye's face. Her eyes were red and blurry with tears as she said, "This is too unfair to Senior Brother Gu."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, "Miss Lin, what do you mean by this?"
Her surname is Lin, and she calls Gu Yan "senior brother". She must be the daughter of Lin Xiang, the teacher of Gu Yan that my cousin mentioned, and Miss Lin Bolan, who is Gu Yan's childhood sweetheart.
But why did I end up being wronged by Gu Yan?
Having a husband like Gu Yan, she was still full of grievances and anger.
After Lin Bolan realized that what he said was inappropriate, he quickly said, "Nothing, nothing."
The female shopkeeper hurried over and chuckled, "Princess Yu, Crown Princess, your Chu Jing Pavilion has just received a pair of exquisitely embroidered pomegranate red, wide-sleeved skirts. Would you please take a look?"
Behind the female shopkeeper, two maids hung a pomegranate red wide-sleeved skirt embroidered with golden plums on the hanger.
Yun Xiangye stared at the pomegranate red wide-sleeved skirt in front of her, and felt that it looked very familiar. Wasn't this the one she embroidered?
Why did the clothes sold in her Five-Color Embroidery Workshop appear in the ready-made clothing shops in Chang'an City?
Seeing Yun Xiangye staring at the clothes in front of her, Gu Jingyu said, "Sister-in-law, do you want this golden plum and pomegranate red dress? I'll buy it for you."
At this moment, a voice came from the door: "This red skirt with golden plum and pomegranate pattern is not for sale. This princess was not in Chang'an a few days ago, and the people below didn't know about it and brought this dress to the shop to sell."
Yun Xiangye heard a sound and turned to look outside the door. The woman who came in was dressed gorgeously, with a high bun and a red coral headpiece on it. She looked elegant and graceful.
After seeing the woman's face clearly, Yun Xiangye was a little surprised. She didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in Chang'an City.
"Meet Princess Nan'an."
Everyone in Chu Jingge shop saluted the incoming Princess Nan'an.
