In the study.
Zhao Yun said to Gu Yan, "I just heard today that Zhao Jing has been ill for some time. I plan to visit him at the Prince of Chu's mansion later. Have you visited him?"
Gu Yan said: "No, but I think if I go to visit him, he will only get sicker."
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan said, "It's really a coincidence that the woman Zhao Jing can't forget is Xiang Ye."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "It's okay if you're blind, but is he also blind?"
Gu Yan said: "Your Highness..."
Zhao Yun snorted, "What kind of magic potion did Yun Xiangye give you? How could a common merchant girl with no rules, no respect for hierarchy, and contempt for imperial authority, have even managed to captivate my cousins?"
Zhao Yun said, "Even if you had to marry her for the sake of getting married, what about Zhao Jing? He is the Crown Prince of Chu after all, and this is his only preference?"
Yun Xiangye, who was standing outside the study, heard the Crown Prince's words and murmured in Yongxing dialect, "You're still the Crown Prince, and you're still the heir apparent. How dare you speak ill of me in front of my husband? Is this the proper upbringing for a heir apparent?"
Gu Yan didn't know how to speak for her.
Ye Wanhe grasped Yun Xiangye's wrist and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Your Highness has never been with you before, so he doesn't know how good you are. Don't take it to heart."
In the study, Zhao Yun continued to talk to Gu Yan, "So Zhao Jing's illness is because of Yun Xiangye? She is quite capable of driving you two brothers apart, but she's not as stunningly beautiful as Fu Anran. For her, you two aren't afraid of being laughed at."
Gu Yan sighed and said, "Your Highness..."
Zhao Yun said, "Forget it. I will go first and visit Zhao Jing in the Prince of Chu's mansion."
After Zhao Yun stood up, Gu Yan went forward to open the study door for him. When he suddenly opened the study door, Gu Yan saw Yun Xiangye outside.
Zhao Yun didn't expect that Yun Xiangye was right at the door, so he didn't feel embarrassed as he had just said something about her behind her back.
Yun Xiangye had to bow to Zhao Yun due to the rules and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Yun only looked at Ye Wanhe who was standing aside and said, "You go back to the East Palace with the ceremonial procession. I have to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion."
"yes."
After the prince and Ye Wanhe left Qingfeng Garden, Yun Xiangye looked up at Gu Yan.
Seeing Yun Xiangye's unfriendly look, Gu Yan asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your Highness just said something bad about me in front of you, why didn't you defend me?" Yun Xiangye frowned, "I am your wife."
Gu Yan said: "Your Highness just said that you are not a stunning beauty, which is not wrong. Although you are indeed good-looking, you are indeed not as stunning as a beauty who can topple a country..."
Yun Xiangye said, "The previous sentence."
Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "A common merchant girl who has no rules, no respect for hierarchy, and despises imperial authority? Your Highness is not wrong. You are a common merchant girl who has no rules, no respect for hierarchy, and despises imperial authority. And you are indeed a common merchant girl... How can I defend you?"
Yun Xiangye was extremely angry. "Since you despise me so much, let's just divorce. Now that I have a cousin, I'm not afraid that Run'er, Nuonuo and I will encounter danger on the way back to Jiangnan."
Gu Yan said, "How could I dislike you? You really have no manners. I'm your husband, and you beat and scold me. You don't know that a husband is the most respected. As for disrespecting the imperial authority... Didn't you scold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last time in the East Palace? His Highness didn't even bother with you."
Yun Xiangye said, "He aborted my sister's child. I did call him a bastard, but I didn't know at the time that he had even sent someone to eavesdrop on my conversation with my sister. If this had reached His Highness' ears, I would never have cursed him out loud."
"That's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You can't even curse him in your heart."
Gu Yan whispered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't bother with you about this matter. He was already showing you mercy. He just said a few words to you. It's not easy for me to refute him. Besides, what he said was not wrong."
Yun Xiangye said angrily, "In Jiangnan, no one has ever said that I don't know the rules. I don't know the rules of the nobles and royal relatives in Chang'an. Because you never told me that you are a royal relative, I only know the rules of the merchants."
"You still don't know how to respect your husband and respect him? Why should you respect your husband?
I am a woman in my family. I have an embroidery workshop to make a living. As long as the court does not collapse and the world is not in chaos, I can live a stable life in peacetime. Is it not enough that I have to compromise by marrying you? Do you also have to put yourself in a lowly position?
You also have a younger sister and a daughter. If you say so, when Jingyu and Nuonuo get married in the future, they will have to respect their husbands as the superiors and them as the inferiors?
Then I would rather Nuonuo never marry in her life. Why should my daughter, whom I hold dear to my heart, be humbled after getting married?"
Gu Yan said, "The rules of the world are to respect your husband. Didn't your parents tell you that?"
"Is this the right way to go? Does Nuonuo become inferior to others after getting married? Why?"
Yun Xiangye wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She hated herself for crying even though she was right.
These tears would probably only make Gu Yan even more proud.
Gu Yan was speechless for a moment and could only admit his mistake: "I was wrong."
Yun Xiangye snorted lightly and said sarcastically, "You are my husband, how could you be wrong? The fault is my wife's, for not properly admonishing my husband. You are my husband, you are incomparably noble, you are the high and mighty Prince of Ning, and I am just a common merchant's daughter. You are willing to marry me, so I should be grateful. Thank you, my ancestors!"
Gu Yan suddenly felt that Yun Xiangye was not thanking his eighteen generations of ancestors, but scolding them.
