On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 301: The Grilled Fish Incident

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: The Grilled Fish Incident

Li Yuyue said again, "The Crown Prince claims the blood on his lips is from your biting."

He refused to believe his sister would have bitten, it must have been the Crown Prince!

A man incapable of sexual function is no different from a eunuch. Such a person not only harbors a dark psychology but also tends to have deviant behaviors.

Leng Yu Yan was completely bewildered; she was still pondering whether she had indeed kissed someone’s Adam’s apple. Now, hearing her elder brother’s words, she hurriedly explained, "Indeed, it was I who bit myself."

Recalling that someone had once told her not to take advantage of him, could it be that she also behaved inappropriately towards him during the prior instances when the Extreme Joy Powder had taken effect?

Upon hearing this, Li Yuyue grew even more anxious; it must have been the Crown Prince who forced her, and she bit herself because she was not compliant.

"Stay away from him as much as possible during this period!"

If the Crown Prince offends or humiliates her again, he wouldn’t be blamed for not holding back!

Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips in thought; she should keep her distance indeed, especially since she was the one who had acted improperly. She was unaware before, but now that she knew, she didn’t know how to face him.

When it came to contact between men and women, she had always been shy.

Even though she had had many romantic and absurd dreams, that was entirely different from reality.

Continuing along the brook, they traveled for half a day.

The forest was too vast to exit in a short while, so the caravan had to camp out overnight.

Fortunately, they caught quite a few fish at noon, so they made do with fish and dry provisions for dinner.

Although the Prince Mansion’s trusted aides weren’t numerous, there were still several dozen of them. Forming groups of five or six per fire, they lined up along the creek, creating quite a spectacular scene.

At noon, Mo Chen Ruofeng also caught quite a few fish, and with their skilled hands, the fish they caught were quite large.

At the end of the procession, the Eastern Palace Guards set up a large woodpile separately, and four guards grilled fish.

Gao Yuan, triumphantly jabbing a stick into what he deemed the largest fish he had caught, strode over to Mo Chen to compare it with the fish in his hand.

Immediately, the proud look on his face faded.

"So much for the Eastern Palace Guards; the fish aren’t much larger."

Mo Chen huffed, "Still, it’s a bit bigger than yours!"

Liu Yun chuckled lowly, "With the creek being so shallow, how big can the fish be?"

Gao Yuan turned to Liu Yun abruptly, sneering, "Are you a woman?"

Being the Crown Prince, to have female guards by his side was unexpected. Unlike them, the Princely Heir’s guards were all men.

In a flash, Liu Yun’s expression went through a fascinating array of changes.

Seeing her like this, Yin Shuang laughed.

Liu Yun glared at Gao Yuan indignantly, "What’s with that look? These two fish were obviously caught by the Eastern Palace and are larger!"

Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Fine, a good man doesn’t bicker with women. I concede!"

Suddenly, everyone smelled a fragrance that made their mouths water.

Even Ye Yiheng, who was leisurely sitting not far from the woodpile, being served fish by Song Guo, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Everyone followed the scent to its source, eventually stopping in front of the campfire of the Leng siblings.

Miao Zhu was genuinely surprised to see the crowd gathering.

"Commandery Princess, they..."

The sight of each trusted aide salivating was indescribable, especially since various masters of the Prince Mansion were sitting close by.

Leng Yu Yan had tied up her long hair and changed into clothes that allowed for easy movement. She was now bending over, sprinkling various seasonings on the grilling fish.

Not only that, but she also spread shredded pomelo peel on top of the fish and instructed Xiaoshan to throw large, dried pieces of pomelo peel into the fire.

As the aroma continued to waft out, the natural fragrance of the fish was fully unleashed, making everyone’s mouth water uncontrollably.

The trusted aides boldly said, "Commandery Princess, teach us!"

"Compared to the Commandery Princess’s grilled fish, ours are just like lumps of coal."

"Commandery Princess, we also want to eat."

Standing at the back of the crowd, Gao Yuan and Mo Chen silently hid their own grilled fish behind them.

Leng Yu Yan looked up and was quite surprised to see everyone’s expectant gazes.

"Actually, there’s no need for teaching, it’s just about sprinkling seasonings."

As she spoke, she instructed Miao Zhu to distribute the grilled fish to the family, while she, with Xiaoshan, took various seasonings to the front of the trusted aides’ bonfires.

Going around each bonfire in turn, the aromatic scent began to waft out, and the trusted aides thanked Leng Yu Yan profusely.

Leng Yu Yan smiled and said there was no need for thanks, bringing Xiaoshan to the front of the Eastern Palace’s bonfire.

Ye Yiheng saw through the eye veil that a crowd had been following her just before, but now they all stayed obediently at their bonfires. When she came to him, only Mo Chen and a few others followed along.

Ruofeng scratched his head, "Commandery Princess, did we ruin our fish?"

"Not quite, it’s just hard to swallow, I suppose." Leng Yu Yan replied softly.

Yin Shuang looked at her own Crown Prince, who seemed to calmly eat the hard-to-swallow grilled fish.

Leng Yu Yan, completely unaware of Ye Yiheng’s increasingly frosty handsome face, went ahead and took the seasonings to sprinkle on the fish.

It was at this moment that Ye Yiheng suddenly spoke up, "The Commandery Princess has a kind heart, leaving the Eastern Palace till last."

Leng Yu Yan’s movements with the cumin hesitated, as she had started from the fire piles of her elder brothers, and followed the stream all the way here—it was not intentional to leave the Eastern Palace for last.

Thinking of someone’s status, though not favored, he was the Crown Prince; presumably, if the Heavenly Family Prince received any royal rewards, he would likely be the first one to receive them. It was inevitable that he would feel slighted now.

"My apologies, Your Highness!"

Leng Yu Yan continued sprinkling seasonings, and also seasoned the ungrilled fish from the Eastern Palace.

Her elder brother was right; it was better for her to stay away from this person. With his unpredictable mood, she never knew when she might irritate him again.

Xiaoshan, seeing that the Commandery Princess was not only not praised but also reprimanded by the Crown Prince, muttered dissatisfiedly, "Your Highness, you couldn’t see that just now my Commandery Princess was surrounded by the trusted aides; she could only come over one by one. Besides, the Commandery Princess hasn’t even eaten any grilled fish herself!"

The Commandery Princess is a Master, not a servant, even if it is the Crown Prince, he can’t be unreasonable!

Ye Yiheng snorted lightly, pushing away the fish meat that Song Guo had placed in his bowl.

If this woman put everyone in front of him, could he even have a place in her heart?

Leng Yu Yan, eager to get all the fish from the Eastern Palace processed, motioned Xiaoshan to stop speaking with a shake of her head.

Xiaoshan’s lips pressed into a thin line, holding the tray as he moved a small jade jar towards the back. This was something the Commandery Princess had taken a lot of care to pick up on the way; it couldn’t be wasted.

Seeing this, Leng Yu Yan opened the jade jar, "Look at me, I forgot about this good stuff."

While speaking, she took a pinch and sprinkled it onto the fish.

The sweet scent instantly dispersed!

Liu Yun asked in surprise, "Commandery Princess, what are these little clusters? They smell so nice!"

"This is rock jasmine, osmanthus, also known as mugwort." Leng Yu Yan smiled with delight, "I thought we wouldn’t see this as we traveled north; unexpectedly I found one along the way and picked some."

In this era, there were not many osmanthus flowers on osmanthus trees, so picking a small jar took quite a while.

Ling Lang, expert in Poison Identification, had a sensitive nose for scents. Smelling the osmanthus fragrance, he couldn’t help but come closer, "The Commandery Princess did not use this as seasoning earlier, only doing so for our pile, which shows the Commandery Princess has the Your Highness in her heart!"

As long as the Crown Prince kept rational with the Commandery Princess, he was very willing to help the Crown Prince win her heart.

"What Master is saying..."

Leng Yu Yan did not know how to continue, suddenly aware that a tall figure was looming over her.

Ye Yiheng leaned in and spoke in a voice both low and deep, "Is what Ling Lang said true?"
