It gets dark very early in winter.
Yun Xiangye lay powerlessly in Gu Yan's arms within the bed curtains, glaring at him. "Do you think that divorcing your wife and making her your concubine will lead to accusations of ingratitude, so you ignore my illness and bully me? So you can lose your wife sooner and marry another noblewoman?"
Gu Yan, gazing at Yun Xiangye, whose eyes were filled with a smile, asked through the candlelight outside the tent, "What's going on between you and Zhao Jing? Why haven't you ever told me about your relationship? You accused me of lying about my identity for three years, but what about you? Didn't you also hide your relationship with Zhao Jing from me?"
Yun Xiangye said coldly, "Who lied to you? You didn't tell the truth yourself. Do you think I'm as shameless as you? When I met him, his name wasn't Zhao Jing, but Chu Jing, the same name you know as Master Chu."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "You already know that he is my cousin, but you still call his name in your dream? A few days ago, when I asked you whether you liked me or Master Chu, you were still hesitant? Yun Xiangye, you and I are husband and wife!"
Yun Xiangye snorted, "There's no formalities between us, and I've never even worshipped heaven and earth in your Gu family's ancestral hall. How can we be considered husband and wife?"
Gu Yan shouted angrily, "Yun Xiangye! Say it again?"
Yun Xiangye felt happy when she saw Gu Yan angry.
He had previously said that he was being unreasonable, but when she heard Wei Xi say this, how could she not be angry? How could she not make a fuss?
Gu Yan was still protecting Wei Xi at that time, saying that Wei Xi's reputation must not be ruined.
Why is Gu Yan so angry now?
Gu Yan lowered his head and kissed Yun Xiangye's red lips again.
Yun Xiangye was forced to endure Gu Yan's angry "bullying".
At the critical moment, Gu Yan leaned close to Yun Xiangye's ear and said, "Xiangye, tell me you like me. Tell me you like me the most."
Yun Xiangye just found it funny that Gu Yan had no regard for her at all and didn't treat her as his wife.
When she was about to go crazy after hearing that they were not considered husband and wife because they had not yet sworn vows to heaven and earth, Gu Yan only protected his cousin and said that she was jealous and was being unreasonable.
Why would Gu Yan, who has no self in his heart, let me say that I like him?
Gu Yan's voice was full of temptation: "Xiangye, tell me you like me, and I will stop bullying you..."
Yun Xiangye said, "I like your...daughter."
Gu Yan pinched Yun Xiangye's waist and said, "Since you like it, then have two more children."
Yun Xiangye: “?”
Half an hour later, Yun Xiangye trembled slightly in Gu Yan's arms. She didn't even have the strength to speak or argue, and she felt sleepy.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
She should take care of herself first and then settle the score with Gu Yan.
Yun Xiangye did not fully recover from her illness until the eve of the Chinese New Year. As the New Year approached, the princess's mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere.
All the palace lanterns in the mansion were replaced with new ones, and the maids in Qingfeng Garden gathered together to cut window paper-cuts.
Nuonuo also likes cutting paper-cuts very much. She can watch the maids cutting paper-cuts for a long time.
Yun Xiangye also took some red paper and cut window flowers.
Gu Jingyu arrived at Qingfeng Garden and saw Yun Xiangye had just finished cutting a paper-cut for the window. She said, "Sister-in-law, you have such a skillful hand! This paper-cut is so exquisite."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Gu Jingyu held the window paper and smiled faintly, "Sister-in-law, the old lady of the Fu family is having a birthday banquet tomorrow. Shall we go to the Fu family to attend the birthday banquet together?"
"no."
Gu Yan's voice came from outside the courtyard gate, "Your sister-in-law is still sick and can't go to the Fu family to attend the birthday banquet."
Gu Jingyu looked at Yun Xiangye in front of her and said, "Sister-in-law has recovered from her illness. I'm a doctor. How could I not know whether she has recovered or not?"
Yun Xiangye asked, "The Fu family? But the Crown Princess's Fu family?"
Gu Jingyu nodded and said, "Yes, the birthday banquet is hosted by the Crown Princess's grandmother, Old Madam Fu. Tomorrow, the Crown Prince's cousin will also go to celebrate Old Madam Fu's birthday."
Yun Xiangye thought that her sister, as the head maid of the Eastern Palace, would probably accompany the Crown Prince to the Fu family, so she said to Gu Jingyu, "I'll go with you."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "No! You must stay at home peacefully and not leave the house."
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan and said, "Why are you still worried that a merchant girl from a small town like me would go to the Fu family banquet and lose face for Prince Ning?"
Gu Yan frowned and said, "You are not allowed to attend the banquet at the Fu family anyway."
Yun Xiangye said, "I'll go."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "You are not allowed to go!"
Yunxiang Ye Ke ignored Gu Yan and said to Gu Jingyu, "When you go to the Fu family tomorrow, ask me to go with you."
Gu Yan said to Gu Jingyu: "You are not allowed to take your sister-in-law to the Fu family."
Gu Jingyu looked at Yun Xiangye and then at Gu Yan, and for a moment she didn't know who she was listening to.
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "I'm not a child of Nuonuo's age. Even if Sister Jingyu doesn't take me with her, do you think I can't go alone?
If you think that I, the Crown Prince's Consort, will embarrass you at the banquet, then write the divorce letter today. Anyway, I went to the Fu family banquet to see someone I wanted to see, and it has nothing to do with you."
Gu Yan was extremely angry when he heard this. He stepped forward, shook Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Don't even think about seeing Zhao Jing!"
Yun Xiangye said: "This is related to Zhao Jing..."
Yun Xiangye suddenly realized that Gu Yan didn't allow her to go to the Fu family because he was afraid that she would meet Zhao Jing?
Yun Xiangye shook off Gu Yan's hand and said, "I want to go see my cousin. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to the Fu family tomorrow. Maybe my cousin will be with him. Don't treat me as someone like you who is fickle and shifts sides."
Gu Yan frowned as he listened to Yun Xiangye's fickle words and asked, "How am I fickle?"
"Cousin Wei, Junior Sister Lin..." Yun Xiangye sighed, "Forget it. You're going to accuse me of ruining the reputation of other girls. To protect your good sisters, I'd better not say anything, so as to avoid the risk of ruining the reputation of other girls."
