Yun Xiangye coughed lightly and said, "It's my fault that I didn't get to visit my second aunt. I'm a little sick, so it's not convenient for me to go to the Prince of Chu's mansion. I'll trouble you, my sister, to go there for me."
Gu Jingyu smiled and said, "It's not too much trouble. I'll just go to the Prince Chu's Mansion."
"Sister, are you going to the Prince Chu's Mansion?"
Inside the house, a three-year-old girl wearing a small jacket came out and threw herself into Gu Jingyu's arms.
Gu Jingyu scratched Gu Jingru's nose and said, "You have the best ears, but I won't take you out with me. I can't control you."
Xiao Jingru took Gu Jingyu's hand and said, "Sister, please take me with you to play."
When Yun Xiangye saw little Jingru, she thought of her biological sister. She also remembered that when she was young, she had to beg Ye Wanhe, who was two years older than her, to take her out to play.
Gu Jingyu took the clothes from Yun Xiangye and said, "Sister-in-law, I will return the clothes for you. Please take care of Xiao Jingru for me."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and responded.
Although Xiao Jingru is Gu Yan's younger sister, she is only one year older than Nuonuo, and Yun Xiangye can easily pick her up.
Yun Xiangye held little Jingru in her arms and said, "How about I take you to play with Nuonuo?"
Xiao Jingru chuckled and said, "Yeah, playing with Nuonuo."
Yun Xiangye took Xiao Jingru's hand and returned to Qingfeng Garden.
Yun Xiangye entered Qingfeng Garden and saw that Gu Yan had returned. She said, "If I had known you would come back at this time, I wouldn't have bothered Sister Jingyu to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to deliver the clothes. You can do it yourself."
"Tomorrow is a day off, and there's nothing important to do in the yamen today, so I'll leave early."
Gu Yan pointed to a wooden box beside him and said, "There's a Begonia red feather satin sable cloak in here. It's for you."
"elder brother."
Little Jingru was behind Yun Xiangye, blinking her eyes as she looked at the older brother in front of her who seemed to be a complete stranger to her.
Gu Yan hummed, "Go to the inner room and play with Nuonuo."
After Xiao Jingru went to the inner room, Yun Xiangye went to open the wooden box and took out the Tanghong clothes inside.
The feather satin feels extremely soft and warm, and the sable fur inside is even softer and more shiny, which shows how precious this dress is.
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yan, "Where did you get this dress?"
Gu Yan said, "Yesterday, I saw that you really liked this material, so I went to ask the Empress for it. Coincidentally, there was a brand new one in the palace storeroom. The Empress disliked the color and had never worn it before. She had been planning to give it to the Crown Princess when she entered the palace next year. Since I asked for it, she gave it to me first."
Yun Xiangye smiled lightly as she touched the soft feather satin in her hand, secretly deciding not to quarrel with Gu Yan before the New Year.
Seeing Yun Xiangye's happy eyes, Gu Yan chuckled and said, "Try it on."
Yun Xiangye put on the clothes. The size was just right and she felt much warmer all over the place the moment she put them on.
Yun Xiangye touched the extremely delicate fabric and was glad that her hands were well maintained because of embroidery, otherwise she was afraid of scratching this extremely precious material.
Gu Yan smiled and said to Yun Xiangye, "Do you like it?"
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Of course I like it. This dress has an exquisite pattern. It's light and warm in winter. It can be said to be warm as spring. I'm afraid there are few people who don't like it."
Yun Xiangye touched the sable fur inside her clothes. The sable fur alone was of top quality, not to mention the gold-woven feather satin material on the outside.
Yun Xiangye is an embroiderer, and she never gets tired of looking at this excellent material.
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "Now you should know what it's like to be the Prince of Ning's consort, right?"
"Look, now that you've become the Prince of Ning's consort, you can choose any fine clothes you want. You can even wear clothes that are rarely seen in this world. I don't know why you're so angry..."
Before Gu Yan could finish his words, Yun Xiangye took off her clothes and threw them back to Gu Yan.
Yun Xiangye glared at Gu Yan and said, "Do you think I care about these gorgeous clothes? This feather satin is precious and rare, but I can make it. If not in one year, then in two, three, or ten years, I can eventually imitate one. This top-quality ferret is hard to find, but ordinary fox fur or rabbit fur can also provide similar warmth."
Yunxiang Yeben was also happy because Gu Yan had obtained this rare dress for her.
However, she didn't expect that Gu Yan actually looked down on her like this, thinking that she would be greedy for vanity and wealth for the sake of fine clothes and would not care about his deception and concealment.
My anger, which had never subsided, became even worse.
Gu Yan took the clothes that Yun Xiangye threw to him and said, "I know you don't care about these things. I just told you the benefits of being the Crown Prince's Consort. What are you making a fuss about?"
Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "Why am I making a fuss? Who do you think I am? Do you think a feather satin ermine cloak can make me burst into tears of gratitude to you, the Prince of Ning?
Gu Yan, even if you give me a phoenix robe, I don’t care. If you give me a dragon robe, maybe I will really be grateful to you..."
Gu Yan hurried forward and covered Yun Xiangye's mouth. "What are you talking about? Do you still want your head?"
Gu Yan lowered his voice into Yun Xiangye's ear and said, "You don't care about the feather satin ferret cloak, but where's the drug for faking death?"
Yun Xiangye was worried that she still had to rely on Gu Yan to get her sister out of the palace, so she could only suppress the anger that Gu Yan had provoked in her heart, "When did you ask mother for the fake death medicine?"
"We have to find a reason. We can't let Mother know that we want to fake my sister's death and leave the palace."
Yun Xiangye asked, "Why can't mother know?"
Gu Yan said: "This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. The fewer people implicated, the better. The fewer people who know, the fewer people who will be implicated."

In the inner courtyard of the Prince of Chu's Palace.
Seeing Gu Jingyu coming in, Princess Chu chuckled and said, "Jingyu, why are you here today?"
Gu Jingyu chuckled and said, "Second aunt, I'm here to bring some clothes to Sister Xiangxiang. My sister-in-law has mended her clothes."
Zhao Xiangxiang stood up and took the clothes from Gu Jingyu. After examining them carefully, she asked, "Where is the hole? I remember it was clearly here. How come it's gone?"
Gu Jingyu smiled and said, "Sister, the holes in the mended clothes will naturally disappear. Otherwise, how can it be called mending?"
Princess Chu smiled dignifiedly and said, "Even a passing goose leaves traces, and mending will certainly leave some traces as well."
Zhao Xiangxiang carefully examined it from front to back and left to right. "Mom, there really isn't a trace of mending at all. You can't even tell. If it weren't the only one I've ever worn, I would have thought it was a new dress."
Princess Chu stepped forward and took a closer look. She said, "It truly is as good as a brand new cloak. Madam Yan'er's mending skills are truly superb. It's as seamless as a piece of clothing."
Gu Jingyu said, "My sister-in-law's family runs an embroidery workshop. She must have learned these skills since she was young. I see that the embroidery work on the clothes she made for Nuonuo is excellent."
Zhao Jing, who was sitting nearby playing with his nephew, frowned when he heard what Gu Jingyu said, "Jingyu, does your sister-in-law also run an embroidery workshop?"
Gu Jingyu said, "Yes, cousin Jing, who else runs an embroidery workshop?"
