Wei Xi was shocked. She saw that the sedan chair was obviously the emperor's sedan chair, so she even pulled the wife of Duke Wei away.
The people on both sides also recognized the emperor's pomp and circumstance and knelt down in salute.
In the utility room of the Princess's residence, Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan were still arguing about Zhao Jing's matter. Upon hearing the noise outside, Gu Yan wiped the red lipstick off his lips with the back of his hand and said, "From the noise outside, it seems that His Majesty has arrived."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly asked, "Is His Majesty here?"
Yun Xiangye was still somewhat afraid of the emperor, so she hurriedly followed Gu Yan outside to greet His Majesty.
Arriving at the entrance of the Princess's residence, Yun Xiangye followed Gu Yan and knelt down to greet the Emperor and Empress who had descended from the sedan chair. "Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Crown Prince."
"Stand up."
Only when His Majesty's majestic voice sounded did Yun Xiangye dare to raise her head.
His Majesty saw Xiao Nuonuo in front of him and smiled gently, "Come to your uncle's place."
After Xiao Nuonuo came to Chang'an, she often played with Jingru, and she got rid of her shy nature. When she heard the words of His Majesty, she walked to His Majesty's side like a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger.
His Majesty lowered his head and looked at Xiao Nuonuo. "Your uncle is here to celebrate your birthday today. What birthday gift would you like?"
Nuonuo blinked and smiled, "Tanghulu!"
Nuonuo's innocent look made many people laugh, and the pressure from the emperor and empress also dissipated a little.
Queen Wei chuckled and said, "Would you like a candied haws?"
Little Nuonuo nodded his little head, "Tanghulu."
Xie Zhixuan stepped forward, scratched her sticky little nose, and said, "You don't need your uncle to give you candied haws. If your uncle could give you a title, you would have endless candied haws to eat."
Yun Xiangye pursed her lips slightly after hearing what the eldest princess said. According to etiquette, Nuonuo, as the legitimate daughter of the prince, could be given the title of a small county lady.
This title would still exist even if she divorced Gu Yan in the future. With the title, Nuonuo could enjoy the salary from the court, which meant she would have endless food and clothing for the rest of her life.
His Majesty looked at Xie Zhixuan and asked, "What is the child's full name?"
Gu Yan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Nuonuo's full name is Yunran. Yun means white cloud, and Ran means time flies by."
His Majesty said, "Gu Yunran, that's a good name."
Gu Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, it's either Gu Yunran or Yunran. Nuonuo takes her mother's surname, Yun."
When the guests heard Gu Yan's words, they were all shocked.
Even the emperor was a little surprised when he heard Gu Yan's words, and looked at Xie Zhixuan and Gu Ling.
Gu Ling smiled and said, "Nuonuo's surname is indeed not Gu, but Yun.
Seeing that Nuonuo's grandfather didn't mind the surname, His Majesty said to Nuonuo in his arms: "I will grant Yunran the title of Princess Danyun and the fief of Danyun County."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly knelt down with Gu Yan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Little Nuonuo also imitated his parents and knelt down, saying in a cute and soft voice, "Thank you."
His Majesty no longer maintained the dignity of the emperor, but smiled and said, "Get up quickly."
Queen Wei's heart melted as she looked at the embroidery on Nuonuo's clothes and said, "These two koi fish are so vivid and lifelike. Nuonuo looks like a little koi fairy when she wears them."
Yun Xiangye listened to Queen Wei's praise and smiled softly. She picked up Nuonuo and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Queen."
Xie Zhixuan said to the Emperor and Empress, "Brother and sister-in-law, please come in quickly."
Yun Xiangye followed Gu Yan and retreated to the side. She saw that many palace servants accompanied the emperor and empress, including some palace maids, also followed them in.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiangye looked towards the prince. When she saw the palace maid beside the prince, Yun Xiangye's eyes lit up and she smiled faintly at Ye Wanhe.
Ye Wanhe also smiled back at her.
When Yun Xiangye remembered that her cousin was here today, she turned around and quickly found her cousin Su Zhan in the crowd, whose eyes had been following Ye Wanhe. His eyes were too fiery.
Ye Wanhe followed Yun Xiangye's gaze, and when she saw Su Zhan, she paused slightly. Seeing Zhao Yun looking back at her, she hurriedly followed Zhao Yun's footsteps.
