On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 402: The Drunken Commandery Princess

Chapter 402: Chapter 402: The Drunken Commandery Princess

Hearing these words, Leng Yu Yan was shocked.

Several lifetimes of love?

Does the one in the dream count?

Seeing her complexion change, Ye Yiheng asked, "What’s wrong?"

Leng Yu Yan’s lips slightly moved, "It’s nothing."

How could she talk to him about the dreams? Not only was it difficult to voice, but it was also embarrassing. If she told him, who knows what he might think of her.

She looked up at him beside her; his eyebrows swept into his temples, his nose bridge high, his thin lips a faint pink, and in his starry eyes seemed to leap a startled swan.

This version of him was different from the ruthless one she saw in her dreams.

Though he looked the same, he strangely seemed more gentle at that moment.

However, she accurately caught a flash of teasing in his eyes, turning his gentle aura into something more roguish.

Leng Yu Yan sighed softly, how had the engagement date been set so suddenly?

How could her grandfather have agreed so readily to someone’s suggestion?

Furthermore, the engagement was set on their birthday, which made her feelings slightly complex.

Celebrating a birthday should be a happy occasion, but the thought of that day being their engagement day, and knowing he did not like her, made the emotions inside her hard to describe.

With that in mind, she mustered the courage to ask, "What should we do after we get engaged?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng chuckled lightly, "What do you want to do? Yanyan, it’s just engagement, not a wedding. Of course, if you want to do something, I will fully cooperate with you."

All the cooperation one could want!

"No, what are you thinking?" Leng Yu Yan’s face reddened, "I mean, after we get engaged, will our relationship be more stable than just a verbal transaction and partnership?"

"That’s a given; by that time, we will be officially betrothed."

Ye Yiheng held her hand, fondling her slender, pale fingers one by one.

Leng Yu Yan withdrew her hand slightly, whispering softly, "I should go back to my room now, Your Highness please do as you wish."

"I’ll accompany you."

"It’s inside my own home, no need to accompany me."

"What if you fall again in the snow?"

"You, I, never mind, go ahead and accompany me."

Ye Yiheng, in high spirits, took her hand and walked towards her courtyard.

--

Soon, dinner time arrived.

In the front hall of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion, a banquet was set up. Although New Year’s Eve was not until the next day, Leng Yu Yan and Ye Yiheng had returned today, so they had a reunion dinner in advance.

More than ten tables were laid out, brimming with festivity.

Leng Yu Yan holding Yinhui, went to the tables, and Xiaoshan hurried over upon seeing her arrive.

"Commandery Princess, is this the little wolf cub?"

"Exactly, look at its white fur, only a tuft on the top of its head is silver-gray." Leng Yu Yan said with a smile, "His Highness named it Yinhui."

"Good name."

Xiaoshan reached out to tease Yinhui, but unexpectedly, the little wolf cub let out a low growl.

"It might find you a stranger."

Leng Yu Yan patted Yinhui’s back, and the little cub calmed down.

She had thought that with one white fur and one white hair, it would be a good idea to let Xiaoshan help raise Yinhui, but she didn’t expect Yinhui to be so spirited.

Song Guo, hearing the growling, came over with some food in hand to tease Yinhui, "Watch me, Yinhui is quite familiar with me."

Before the voice faded, the low growl of the little wolf pup rang out again.

Song Guo complained, "This wolf pup actually has no respect!"

Ye Yiheng took slow steps to Leng Yu Yan’s side, reached out to lift the little wolf pup from her arms, and the low growl instantly disappeared.

Seeing the little wolf pup so quiet in someone’s arms, Leng Yu Yan exclaimed with surprise, "Yinhui is really very perceptive."

The man before her seemed like a celestial being descending to earth, holding the little wolf pup with a unique elegance.

"Now I understand, Your Highness and Commandery Princess are Yinhui’s family, we are merely servants, no wonder the little wolf pup doesn’t respect us," Song Guo suddenly realized.

Xiaoshan snorted with laughter, "Mr. Song is quite the flatterer!"

Song Guo raised an eyebrow, "It takes skill to be a flatterer!"

Soon after, Lai Taihong and his wife took their seats, and the family reunion banquet officially began.

Lai Taihong’s voice rang out like a bell, "Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and today is our family reunion banquet; we’ll celebrate however we please in our mansion. Come the first lunar month, especially on the eighth day of the first lunar month, not only is it the Crown Prince’s and Princess Beilan’s birthday, but also their engagement day. So, during this time, everyone should eat, drink, and be merry."

As for the state of alertness that Prince Zhenbei Mansion must maintain in the capital city, that still needs to be upheld!

Everyone raised their glasses, and the atmosphere turned joyous in an instant.

Liu Yun and Yin Shuang each brought their glasses over to Leng Yu Yan, "Commandery Princess, we toast to you!"

Leng Yu Yan was a bit troubled, "I’m not very good at drinking."

Liu Yun said with a cheerful smile, "Commandery Princess sewed up our wounds with such care that the scars are barely visible unless one looks closely, so we must indeed toast to you."

Leng Yu Yan said, "There will still be some scars, you may take some Scar Removal Ointment from me."

"Scar Removal Ointment too?" Yin Shuang exclaimed, "We used to just let wounds scar however they might as long as they healed."

Liu Yun, somewhat embarrassed, said, "We are quite rough and ready. It wasn’t until we met the Commandery Princess that we understood why women..."

Both raised their glasses in unison, and with such sincerity, Leng Yu Yan drank a small cup.

Seeing their successful toast, Mo Chen Ruo Feng also came over with a cup in hand.

"Commandery Princess, I toast to you!"

Leng Yu Yan’s face was already flushed from the alcohol, "What’s your reason? Don’t say it’s about sewing wounds; Liu Yun and Yin Shuang have already used that one."

Mo Chen said earnestly, "We are toasting because of the Life-saving Pills the Commandery Princess gave us. Thanks to the pills, we managed to arrive safely in Beilan City."

Ruofeng agreed, "Exactly. After we separated, we were injured again and thought we couldn’t make it through, but the Life-saving Pills the Commandery Princess gave us worked wonders!"

Mo Chen raised his glass, "That being so, the Commandery Princess is our lifesaver. Please drink this wine!"

Ruofeng lifted the jug and poured more wine into Leng Yu Yan’s cup.

Hearing them say this, Leng Yu Yan felt she couldn’t refuse, so she took the cup and drank.

After two cups of wine, Leng Yu Yan’s face began to heat up.

Just then, Ling Lang walked over, full of admiration, "These last few days, I took the pulse of His Highness and found that the toxins in his body are much reduced, and the collisions between them are much less severe. This is all thanks to the Commandery Princess. I toast to the Commandery Princess!"

Leng Yu Yan nodded, took the cup, and drank again.

After three cups, the scenery and the people around began to blur. Leng Yu Yan blinked and thought to herself, could it be that Ye Yiheng’s people were deliberately coming over to toast?

Ye Yiheng, who was in a drinking contest with Leng Yu’s four brothers, glanced over and noticed the reddened corners of Leng Yu Yan’s eyes and her unfocused gaze.

His handsome brows furrowed, and he turned to Song Guo, "Go ask, who has been giving the Commandery Princess drinks?"

Song Guo nodded and quickly walked away.

It wasn’t long before he returned to Ye Yiheng’s side, "Your Highness, Mr. Mo Chenling and the other four took turns toasting, citing some reasons the Commandery Princess could not refuse. She has had three cups and is slightly tipsy now."

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng frowned. Didn’t these people know she couldn’t handle her liquor?

After finishing the wine in his cup, he said to the Leng family’s four brothers, "I will take Yanyan back to her room, you guys keep drinking."

The four brothers of the Leng family all looked toward Leng Yu Yan and, seeing she was indeed a bit drunk, agreed.

Otherwise, what could they do?

These two were about to get engaged, and as her brothers, could they really stop them?
