Chapter 229: Chapter 229: The Lone Are Not Good People

At this moment, the night was deep.

Most of the palace maids and eunuchs in the Eastern Palace had already gone to rest.

Leng Yu Yan, seeing that he didn’t make a sound, turned to face him and stared intently at him.

The man before her, no, it would be more appropriate to say the youth, was so stunningly beautiful that he resembled an exiled Immortal, with the looks of a celestial being.

She believed that in a few more years, he could surpass her Father King by a wide margin. Having such a peerless husband would be no loss for her.

To avoid certain matters would be even more relaxing and comfortable.

By then, having protected her family, she would be delighted to roam freely, a fate much better than marrying any other Prince from the Tian Family!

With this thought in mind, she spoke again in a soft and gentle voice, “Will Your Highness consent?”

Ye Yiheng’s thin lips pursed slightly, and a light, almost imperceptible smile played at the corner of his mouth.

“No one has taught me how to cherish someone—do you fear that?”

He had grown up in a brutal and filthy struggle, never learning how to cherish or like someone, from beginning to end.

Just as Ji Qingyu could greet others with a smile, something he had never learned to do.

The love his Empress Mother gave him was cold.

The love his Father Emperor gave him, besides being cold, also contained murderous intent.

His siblings in the Tian Family were accustomed to putting on masks to face others.

In such an environment, he did not know how to like someone, let alone to love someone.

His light smile seemed gentle and cultured, yet also seemed to carry a hint of mockery and bitterness.

For some reason, Leng Yu Yan felt a twinge in her heart seeing it.

“It doesn’t matter. If Your Highness consents, our marriage will simply be a transaction. Just as before, Your Highness will continue as usual.”

Seeing her mention transaction again, Ye Yiheng’s handsome brows twitched slightly, “I presume I know why you, Commandery Princess, are willing to marry.”

Leng Yu Yan dared not look at him and cast her eyes down softly, asking in a low voice, “And how does Your Highness see it?”

Ye Yiheng’s gaze moved from her exquisitely unique chin upward, focusing on her delicate lips for a long while before pulling his eyes away.

“Commandery Princess has always regarded me as a dangerous flood beast. Now, willing to marry, one reason is for the sake of Prince Zhenbei Mansion, and the other is because Commandery Princess is certain I have a hidden illness.”

“In the Commandery Princess’s view, there is something I cannot do to her.”

Seeing him guess what was on her mind, Leng Yu Yan felt a burst of anxiety, and her voice lightened considerably, “I have said before, I am willing to warm Your Highness’s bed.”

Ye Yiheng shook his head, a soft laugh escaping him.

Suddenly leaning close to her ear, he said in a deep voice, “Even if I am incapable, there are plenty of Mr. Jiaos in the world, can the Commandery Princess?”

His voice was low and deep, carrying a husky quality.

The two of them were extremely close, almost like whispering lovers.

Leng Yu Yan looked at him with confusion, “What is Mr. Jiao?”

Ye Yiheng massaged his temple.

What to do, she seemed completely clueless?

He was clueless too, but he had read of many things in books, and was overall more understanding.

He cleared his throat with some embarrassment and said indifferently, “There are many eunuchs in the palace, and some powerful ones seek palace maids for companionship, companionship couples need to make use of certain…”

He couldn’t continue and just quietly watched her.

After all, from the first time he was granted her hand in marriage, she assumed he was impotent, so he could not be blamed for frightening her.

Leng Yu Yan blushed crimson, her face and even the tips of her ears reddening as if they would bleed.

Her tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, as if she might burst into tears the next moment.

Seeing her like this, Ye Yiheng’s voice deepened, “I am not a good man!”

“If the Commandery Princess does not wish to marry, there is still time!”

Leng Yu Yan bit her lip, her small hands tightly clenched, “It was I who came to discuss the transaction with Your Highness, and since it was I who took the initiative, I indeed am willing to marry.”

While speaking, she looked up at him, her eyes shimmering like the ripples of water, “Will Your Highness consent to this transaction?”

Ye Yiheng, seeing she was earnest and principled, nodded slightly, “I consent.”

Leng Yu Yan curtsied, “Thank you, Your Highness!”

At this time, Song Guo came in and spoke softly, “It’s already midnight, does the Commandery Princess want to rest here in Tingfeng Garden? I can have someone prepare a room.”

Leng Yu Yan replied in a low voice, “No need, I’m going back now.”

For her family, for the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, she was ready to risk everything.

A crazy idiot is truly a crazy idiot—she couldn’t even be considered human and yet…

Just thinking about that point, she didn’t feel like staying any longer and just wanted to return to the Prince Mansion as quickly as possible.

Seeing her leave as if fleeing, Song Guo wanted to persuade her to stay, but Ye Yiheng stopped him, “She will have plenty of time to stay in the Eastern Palace in the future.”

Song Guo paused in his steps, turned back, and asked, “Your Highness, do you mean what I think you mean?”

“What do you mean?”

“That Your Highness and the Commandery Princess are going to get married, right?”

“Mmm.”

Ye Yiheng gave a simple affirmation and stepped towards the inner room.

Currently, only the Emperor may be tough to deal with.

His dear brothers had been coveting the military power of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion not just for a day or two.

If the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, in the interest of safety, expressed willingness to have Leng Yu Yan join the Tian Family, then even if those brothers had no intentions towards her, they would contest for the military power.

Every single one of them was trouble.

Ye Yiheng pinched the bridge of his nose; it seemed that it wouldn’t be enough just for Leng Yu Yan to agree to the marriage, Lai Taihong also had to consent.

It was a tricky problem.

The next day.

Prince Xian, Ye Zhenxian, went to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion seeking to ingratiate himself but was met with a closed door.

Returning to the Prince Xian Mansion with boiling rage, he could not contain his anger.

“Once the Crown Prince passes to the west, I will be the eldest Prince of the Tiancheng, and without a legitimate prince, the eldest should be established.”

“I want to see just how long the Prince Zhenbei Mansion can remain so defiant!”

Ye Zhenxian ranked second among all the Princes.

Since the Eldest Prince had died a few years ago in a secret incident, Ye Zhenxian was indeed the oldest among the current Princes.

A member of his staff approached, “Your Highness Prince Xian, it is within reason that the Prince Zhenbei Mansion is not receiving guests at this time.”

Ye Zhenxian humphed, “Then how am I to get close to that old guy Lai Taihong? How to get hold of the military power of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion? How to win over the beautiful Princess Beilan?”

The staff member pondered for a moment before saying, “Your Highness, you might consider it this way: first secure Princess Beilan, then get close to the Old Prince Zhenbei, and after that, take the military power.”

“You’re really something!” Ye Zhenxian said with a lewd smile, “Tomorrow the Imperial Grandmother will invite the womenfolk of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion to the palace; you go and prepare.”

“Your servant obeys!”

—

On this day, the Empress Dowager invited the womenfolk of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion to the palace for a chat.

As the Yun Family matriarch was unwell, she did not go. Instead, Leng Yu Yan accompanied the Old Princess Consort to the Cining Palace.

Upon seeing them arrive, the Empress Dowager quickly had her attendants arrange seats for them.

“The Old Princess Consort has been grieving these past few days, and I have very much pitied her. That’s why I have invited you to come and chat,” the Empress Dowager said.

The grandmother and granddaughter performed their formalities and took their seats.

Then the Old Princess Consort sighed and said, “I thank the Empress Dowager for her concern. After crying for so many days, I’ve come to realize that it’s all destiny—our sons and grandsons’ fates!”

That destiny was the Ye Family’s maliciousness!

During this time, a palace maid brought over a cup of tea to Leng Yu Yan, “Commandery Princess, please enjoy the tea!”

Leng Yu Yan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Were the palace maids here in the Cining Palace so thoughtless?

There wasn’t even tea in front of her grandmother or the Empress Dowager yet, so why was she being prompted to drink first?

Noticing that she hadn’t touched the teacup, the palace maid spoke respectfully, “This is flower tea, most suitable for young ladies to drink. Please give it a try, Commandery Princess!”

“I’m old, and such tea is useless to me; I gave some to my granddaughters, and there’s still quite a bit left. If Princess Beilan finds it to her liking, feel free to take some back with you,” said the Empress Dowager, smiling as she placed the teacup in Leng Yu Yan’s hand.
