Fu Anran asked the maid to bring a bronze mirror. After looking at the reflections in several bronze mirrors, Fu Anran was able to see his entire body in the mirror in front of him.
"She is really beautiful. The Crown Princess's craftsmanship is really good. When your embroidery workshop opens, I will definitely go and patronize it."
Yun Xiangye smiled softly at Fu Anran and said, "When Miss Fu comes, I will make clothes for you myself."
Fu Anran said, "I can't wait until March 3rd to wear this outfit. There will be a spring polo match at the Royal Horse Park in a few days. I will wear this outfit to the polo match then."
Fu Qianran smiled faintly and said, "That's fine, but I'll have to change into riding clothes that day, which is so inconvenient."
Fu Anran lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt and said, "Never mind the inconvenience of beautiful clothes, I won't find them troublesome."

In the East Palace study.
Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yan in front of him with displeasure and said, "What's the matter with you keeping a mistress in Jinxiu Street? You are so young, and your father promoted you to the position of Censor, which was already said to be against the rules. Now you are not setting an example yourself and keeping a mistress, and it has caused a lot of uproar."
Gu Yan asked in confusion: "I have a concubine?"
Zhao Yun said, "In the past few days, many officials have seen you not returning to the Princess's Mansion at dusk, but going to the mansion on Jinxiu Street, and not coming out of that mansion until morning. If you don't have a mistress, why don't you go back to the Princess's Mansion?"
Gu Yan hurriedly said, "This rumor is outrageous. The reason I went to Jinxiu Street is because Xiangye's embroidery workshop is opening on February 19th. She's been very busy these days, so she just lives in the workshop. How dare I keep a mistress?"
Zhao Yun said, "It's better not to keep a concubine. Otherwise, if someone reports you, even your father won't be able to keep your position."
Gu Yan was quite helpless. "I don't know who is behind this and can't stand my good fortune, so they made up such rumors."
Zhao Yun said, "Who would have thought that you would abandon the Princess's mansion and live in a three-courtyard house outside?"
Gu Yan was also speechless.
Zhao Yun said, "The Spring Polo Tournament will be held in a few days. You should prepare well and play polo with me."
Gu Yan said, "I haven't played polo for over three years. I'm afraid I might be holding Your Highness back."
Zhao Yun said, "No problem, just joining in the fun."
Gu Yan said: "Okay."
The Royal Spring Polo Tournament in mid-February is a major event in Chang'an City.
In this polo match, the winning team will be rewarded by His Majesty and given important positions.
All the noble families and military commanders wanted to show off their achievements on this day.
Inside the embroidery workshop, Yun Xiangye heard Gu Yan mention that she was going to a polo match in two days. She said, "I'm not going. I can't ride a horse, let alone play polo. It's better for me to stay in the embroidery workshop and prepare for the opening."
Gu Yan said, "We're just going to join in the fun. We're only going for a day anyway. It wouldn't be bad to take Nuonuo with us to enjoy the beautiful spring scenery. You've been sitting and embroidering all day for several days in a row, so you should move around a bit."
Yun Xiangye thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Gu Yan said to Yun Xiangye, "Let's go back home early today. I don't know who is spreading rumors that I'm keeping a mistress. If this is true, I'm afraid I'll lose my position as Censor."
Yun Xiangye said, "You must have offended someone outside."
Gu Yan said, "I was a censor at such a young age. I don't know how many eyes were watching me from behind, trying to find fault with me. Being in the officialdom is not easy. And you even tried to cause trouble with me before."
Yun Xiangye was furious when she heard Gu Yan's words, but she endured it because of the imperial seal. "If you have done nothing wrong, no one would be able to find it even if they wanted to."
Gu Yan smiled softly and said, "That's true."
Yun Xiang and Ye Guyan returned to the Princess's Mansion.
As soon as I returned to the Princess's Mansion, I was called to the main courtyard by the Princess.
Seeing the two returning, Xie Zhixuan couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with the Princess's Mansion? You've actually been living in Jinxiu Street these past few days, and you've even started rumors about your mistress?"
Yun Xiangye lowered her head and said, "Mother, Qingfeng Garden is very nice, but my embroidery workshop is about to open, so I can't help but be busy. I never thought there would be so many rumors outside."
Xie Zhixuan said, "This was the news spread by Wei Qian. After the New Year incident, all ties with the Wei family were completely severed."
Gu Yan looked at Xie Zhixuan and asked, "Wei Qian? It's actually Wei Qian?"
Xie Zhixuan said, "His mother and sister came to Nuonuo's birthday party earlier, and we at the Princess Mansion drove them away. This grudge must have been formed. You'd better be careful with him in the future."
Gu Yan quickly responded, "Then mother, we will go back to Qingfeng Garden first."
"Um."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and walked towards Qingfeng Garden. Flowers were already blooming on both sides of the spring path, and the trees were gradually sprouting. The spring scenery was very beautiful.
Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan and said, "Isn't the Wei family the Queen's natal family, and the Crown Prince's maternal grandparents? If we sever ties with the Wei family, will the Crown Prince be displeased with you..."
Gu Yan said, "Don't worry about that. You should prepare your clothes for the polo match in two days."
Yun Xiangye didn't have any riding clothes, and she wasn't good at riding a horse, so she simply picked out two spring clothes and prepared two new sets of clothes for Nuonuo.
Early in the morning of February 14th.
Several carriages moved slowly in front of the Princess's Mansion. For today's polo match, all the masters of the Princess's Mansion, except for Madam Gu, went to the Royal Stables.
Yun Xiangye and Gu Yannuonuo were in the same carriage.
Nuonuo was very happy to be able to go out, and she lay at the door of the carriage looking at the scenery outside.
Yun Xiangye said to Gu Yan, "Today's polo match must be very lively, right? I've never seen anyone play polo before."
