On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 288 Pure Desire to Flirt

Chapter 288: Chapter 288 Pure Desire to Flirt

Previously, when the Commandery Princess was affected by the Extreme Joy Powder and entered the illusion, she did not know that Your Highness fed her the medicine lip to lip.

But the day before yesterday was different. There were still several days before the next onset of Extreme Joy Powder, so the Commandery Princess must have been kissed by the Crown Prince while she was sober.

Such a matter is truly a joyous occasion!

Song Guo thought more and more excitedly, thinking about adding a few dishes later in the Eastern Palace to celebrate.

At that moment, Mo Chen reported, "Your Highness, today there is an autumn banquet at the Imperial Palace Lake Heart Pavilion, aimed at selecting a marital partner for the Commandery Princess from Prince Zhenbei Mansion. All the unmarried Princes have gone, even Prince Qing has gone."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng’s handsome eyebrows furrowed.

Song Guo was puzzled, "All the unmarried Princes have gone; why did no one come to the Eastern Palace to invite Your Highness?"

"Perhaps someone does not want me to go." Ye Yiheng fastened his eye veil and adjusted his large cloak.

The less they wanted him to go, the more he insisted on going.

Though the Imperial Palace was near to the Eastern Palace, entering through the main gate still took some time. So, he summoned Ruofeng and Mo Chen to drive, with Song Guo accompanying, and the four of them rushed to the Imperial Palace at top speed.

The weather, which had just been clear, now had clouds pressing at the horizon, seeming uncertain whether to clear or cloud over.

When Ye Yiheng arrived at the Huixin Pavilion, Leng Yu Yan was not there.

"The Crown Prince has arrived." All the Princes paid their respects.

Beneath his eye veil, Ye Yiheng’s handsome eyes looked towards the Emperor and the Empress Dowager sitting in the principal seats, their eyes showing colors of reluctance, apparently not willing for him to appear here.

"Brothers, please dispense with the formalities quickly."

Ye Yiheng raised his hand and immediately, supported by Song Guo, walked up to Lai Taihong and his wife, where he performed a half junior’s bow.

Lai Taihong laughed heartily, stood up from his chair, striding like a dragon and stepping like a tiger to Ye Yiheng, personally supporting him, "Your Highness, you are too polite!"

The Emperor said with a forced smile, "He is a junior, and you are a senior, of course, it should be so."

Lai Taihong nodded, patting Ye Yiheng on the shoulder, "With such weather, Your Highness wears only a large cloak; are you unwell?"

Amid thoughts and private criticisms, they said the Crown Prince was weak, and now he seemed truly frail. However, upon patting his shoulder, the young man seemed very robust and strong. Could it be that his frailty was just a facade?

Thinking thus, Lai Taihong discreetly patted the back of Ye Yiheng’s hand.

With a pat, he was greatly shocked; the Prince’s hand was so cold.

They say young men have vigorous yang energy, but the Crown Prince was so cold, no wonder the rumors seemed true.

Timely, Ye Yiheng coughed, "I have a cold constitution; I had no choice but to dress this way, making Old Prince laugh."

Lai Taihong sighed quietly to himself, how could Yan’er, this girl, fall for the Crown Prince?

He glanced surreptitiously at the Old Princess Consort, his wife, who was now looking at the Crown Prince as if viewing a grandson-in-law.

Lai Taihong couldn’t help but mutter internally, ’Yan’er has certainly pleased the old lady... Only looking at the face!’

Looking at the Princes present, each had the bearing of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix.

The most handsome was certainly the Crown Prince, covering his eyes with a white veil.

If he were to take off the eye veil, wouldn’t he dazzle the old lady’s eyes?

Glancing again at the Yun family daughter-in-law, she looked at the Crown Prince as if she were looking at a son-in-law. Truly, as the saying goes, ’A family doesn’t recognize outsiders, women of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion only look at the face.’

Lai Taihong couldn’t help but stroke his beard, asking, "Your Highness’s eyes, is there a possibility of them being cured?"

At least then he could see Yan’er’s face, his granddaughter being a national beauty, it would be such a pity if the Crown Prince couldn’t see her.

As the question was asked, everyone around perked up their ears.

Ye Yiheng lightly smiled and said, "I haven’t seen for many years, and I’ve grown accustomed to it. It doesn’t hinder me not seeing other things, the greatest regret is not being able to see the Commandery Princess’s face."

Immediately, this statement garnered the sympathy of the Old Princess Consort and the Yun Family, "Please take your seat soon, Your Highness!"

The expressions of the princes varied.

As long as the Crown Prince remained blind, their chances of ascending to the position of Crown Prince would be significantly greater.

Ye Zhenyu looked down with narrowed eyes. The large cloak draped over Ye Yiheng indicated that his cold disease was about to flare up. Regardless of whether he concealed any skills, today at the Autumn Banquet, Leng Yu Yan would belong only to him, Ye Zhenyu.

At that time, he would control the Prince Zhenbei Mansion and seize both military and imperial power!

At this moment, everything was ready except for the opportunity, and he was just waiting for Leng Yu Yan to come over.

Elsewhere.

Inside Chenglan Palace, Consort Xian said to Leng Yu Yan, who was still getting dressed, "Beilan, I’ll go to Huixin Pavilion first. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager need me to take care of them. Once you are dressed, you can come over."

Leng Yu Yan nodded, "Please go ahead, Princess!"

Her attire was flawless except that the neckline was cut too low. Once she put it on, the chill at her chest was unsettling.

The rouge and face powder for her makeup were also fine, and the jewelry was her own. She didn’t consume any tea or pastries from Chenglan Palace.

Up to this moment, she couldn’t understand—if Consort Xian were to tamper with something, where would it be?

Or was Consort Xian genuinely trying to please and wanted her to choose either Prince Liang or the Seventh Prince?

Not long after Consort Xian left, Leng Yu Yan finished her makeup. Accompanied by a palace maid, she walked towards the venue.

Just as she was about to board the boat, she encountered Ye Yuan.

The Ninth Princess sat in her wheelchair, slowly approaching her.

"The Commandery Princess is indeed the star today, with that makeup and attire, it makes me wish I were a man, so I could take you away right now!"

Leng Yu Yan raised her hand to cover her chest and feeling it was not enough, she casually draped a scarf over her chest.

"The Princess doesn’t know, but the original dress I wore was not like this. It was Consort Xian who asked me to change into this one."

Ye Yuan covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Stop covering it. If you have outstanding attributes, show them off. I’d like to do the same, but sitting in this wheelchair, who would I show? Your elder brother isn’t even here!"

Hearing her tone, similar to that of a resentful wife, Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but laugh, "Then next time, Princess, show it to my elder brother."

Speaking seriously now, Ye Yuan blushed, "Look at your mouth. How can you talk to your future sister-in-law like that?"

At this, Leng Yu Yan laughed even more heartily.

Those at the Huixin Pavilion who saw Leng Yu Yan standing by the Water Pavilion and Ye Jiu sitting started talking among themselves.

The concubines who had come to the Huixin Pavilion with the Consort Xian were even more lively in their discussions.

"Princess Beilan is stunningly beautiful, and the Ninth Princess is also as lovely as flowers; both are like delicate blooms. Having them together like this is truly a feast for the eyes!"

"It’s just unfortunate that the Ninth Princess has mobility issues. Otherwise, the Commandery Princess and the Princess would be the most beautiful girls in Tiancheng!"

"In the past, I thought that since the Ninth Princess is three years older than the Commandery Princess, the Ninth Princess was more charming. Today, seeing the Commandery Princess in the attire gifted by Consort Xian, I didn’t expect that from just a distance, the Commandery Princess seems even more enchanting!"

The praises from the concubines came in waves, as they had to admit, whatever Princess Beilan wore, she embodied distinct characteristics.

Her delicate face was stunningly beautiful, innocently radiant as if she didn’t partake in the mundane world. Yet her figure was extremely enticing, stirring deep thoughts. Such beauty could be described as purely desirous, resembling a fairy from the ninth heaven.

Just by looking at her from a distance like this, this Princess Beilan was indeed pure and delicate, with a hint of an elegant and transcendental charm.

Such allure was unmatched by the women in the palace, even the princesses with their delicate and noble status could not compare!

Who among the princes will this extraordinarily beautiful Princess Beilan choose as her husband?
