Yun Xiangye sighed helplessly after hearing what Gu Yanzhi said. April... there are still four long months left.
Gu Yan whispered to Yun Xiangye, "You've never had a good stroll since you came to Chang'an. Now that you're out today, why not take a good stroll before going back?"
Yun Xiangye opened the curtain and looked out the window at the bustling street. She didn't refuse: "Okay."
Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye out of the carriage, and the two of them walked along the street stalls.
There are many toys for children among the vendors at this stall.
When Yun Xiangye saw them, she wanted to buy them all for Nuonuo.
Yun Xiangye saw a monkey wearing a crown and was playing with it in her hands. She said, "I played with this when I was little. They're rare in Yongxing City now. I'll buy one for Nuonuo."
When Gu Yan was paying, Yun Xiangye said, "Wait, buy two and give one to Jingru as well."
The vendor took the copper coins and said with a smile, "Thank you both."
"Senior Brother."
Yun Xiangye heard a female voice and turned around to see Lin Bolan, the daughter of Lin Youxiang, whom she had met once before.
Lin Bolan looked at Yun Xiangye in front of him and whispered, "Greetings, Crown Princess."
Yun Xiangye just nodded slightly at Lin Boyan.
Lin Bolan looked at Gu Yan and said, "Brother, I just painted a picture of red plum blossoms in the snow. I'd like to ask for your guidance. When are you free?"
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "You can also paint?"
Gu Yan said: "Yes."
Yun Xiangye said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known you could paint, I would have asked you to draw the pattern for my clothes."
Lin Bolan frowned and said, "Princess, Senior Brother's paintings are worth a fortune. His great-grandfather was a famous painter. When Senior Brother was fourteen or fifteen years old, his reputation as a painter spread throughout Chang'an. How could you let him paint patterns on clothes?"
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Why not?"
Lin Bolan said anxiously, "Brother's paintings are worth a fortune. Asking him to draw some clothing patterns is a waste of his talent, isn't it?"
Seeing Lin Boyan's anxious look, Yun Xiangye raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yan with a faint smile: "Help me draw a few."
Gu Yan asked, "How many?"
Yun Xiangye thought for a moment and said, "Just five, six, seven, or eight paintings will be enough. I won't bother you with more."
Gu Yan chuckled helplessly and said, "Isn't this too much?"
Lin Bolan looked at Gu Yan's smile. Gu Yan rarely smiled in public, and she had never seen him smile so dotingly before. Even Gu Yan had never smiled like that to his sister Gu Jingyu.
Lin Bolan once again looked at Yun Xiangye. She wanted to see some good qualities in her, but no matter how she looked at her, she was not worthy of her Senior Brother Gu...
Yun Xiangye glanced at Lin Boyan and said in a gentle voice, "How is this too much? If I really let you draw more, your hands will hurt, and I will feel bad for you."
Seeing Yun Xiangye regain the gentleness she had in Jiangnan, Gu Yan was very pleased and said, "Then I'll help you draw a few pictures when we get back."
Yun Xiangye raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Bolan, who looked down on her. She smiled softly and said, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister Lin, my husband needs help with a painting. I'm too busy to help you. I'm free, so how about I give you some pointers?"
Lin Bolan said, "I won't bother the Crown Prince's Consort anymore."
Yun Xiangye stepped forward, shook Lin Bolan's hand, and said, "You are my husband's junior apprentice sister. It's not a big deal if I help you with your painting."
Lin Bolan looked at the hand holding hers, and finally discovered one of Yunxiangye's good points. Her hands were extremely beautiful, white, tender and slender. These hands were well maintained.
Seeing Lin Bolan looking at her hands, Yun Xiangye said, "Junior sister, please don't be polite. I will come to your house another day to help you look at the painting."
Lin Bolan bit her lower lip and looked at Gu Yan beside her, "Senior Brother..."
Yun Xiangye held Lin Bolan's hand tightly and said, "Junior sister, do you dislike me? Do you think I'm unworthy of giving you guidance on painting?"
"Ah? No, no, no..."
Even if Lin Bolan looked down on Yun Xiangye in his heart, he would never say it out loud.
Yun Xiangye looked at Lin Bolan and smiled faintly, saying, "It's settled then. I'll come to your house someday to help you with your painting."
Lin Bolan was reluctant, but didn't know how to refuse, so he could only agree hesitantly.
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "Junior sister, we'll be leaving first. See you another day."
Lin Bolan turned towards Gu Yanfu and said, "Brother, take care."
Gu Yan nodded, then took Yun Xiangye's hand and continued strolling on the streets of Chang'an City.
Yun Xiangye turned around and saw that Lin Bolan had not caught up with her, so she shook off Gu Yan's hand.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Yun Xiangye snorted softly, "She attracts bees and butterflies, and is unfaithful to her husband!"
Gu Yan said, "Junior Sister Lin has loved painting since she was young. She simply asked me to give her some guidance. You don't have to think that all the girls are keeping a close eye on your husband just because of Wei Yu. The Lin family has a very good family tradition, and Junior Sister Lin would not covet a married man."
Yun Xiangye was too lazy to argue with Gu Yan. When she first met Lin Bolan, Lin Bolan felt that she was not worthy of Gu Yan and had wronged Gu Yan.
Today, Lin Bolan even asked Gu Yan to give her some advice on painting in front of him. Gu Yan still thought that his good junior sister would not covet a married man?
"Since she has no desire for him, why hasn't she gotten engaged yet?" Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan. "Are you going to accuse me of ruining your junior sister's reputation again?"
Yun Xiangye stepped on Gu Yan's foot angrily, stepped on the back of Gu Yan's instep, and walked straight forward.
Gu Yan stood there, enduring the pain, his face darkening. "Yun Xiangye! I didn't say that. Why are you so angry?"
