On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 407: I Want Your Kiss

Chapter 407: Chapter 407: I Want Your Kiss

During this period, the men of the Leng Family and Ye Yiheng had not been idle; they were discussing under what pretense they should go to the capital city and which elite soldiers to take with them.

The eighth day of the lunar month was an important day, an auspicious day for engagement and marriage.

On this day, the men of the Leng Family put aside their other affairs and focused on celebrating the birthday of Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan, as well as hosting the guests who had come to the Prince Mansion with great care.

At this moment, inside the room.

Looking at her still somewhat sleepy reflection in the mirror, Leng Yu Yan asked, "What should I wear today? Surely I’m not going to wear red?"

Miao Zhu smiled and said, "Red would be worn at the wedding ceremony. Today is the day Your Highness and the Commandery Princess get engaged, so the color of the ceremonial dress can be more casual."

At this moment, Song Guo entered with Liu Yun and Yin Shuang carrying a large brocade box.

"Commandery Princess, the ceremonial dress has arrived." Song Guo’s smiles were so wide that his eyebrows weren’t like eyebrows and his eyes weren’t like eyes.

Liu Yun and Yin Shuang placed the large brocade box on the table and opened it, "Please have a look, Commandery Princess!"

Leng Yu Yan looked in the mirror and saw a golden ceremonial dress.

"Was this chosen by Your Highness?"

With a smile, Song Guo answered, "On the day the Old Prince agreed to the engagement between Your Highness and the Commandery Princess, Your Highness immediately sought out the best embroidery masters in Beilan City and spent a hefty sum to custom order two sets of ceremonial dresses. Although there was not much time, the final products are indeed stunning."

Leng Yu Yan stood up from the embroidery stool, walked slowly to the brocade box, and saw that the gold was actually champagne, a sophisticated color. The embroidery was done with silver threads, shining brilliantly.

She reached out to touch it, noting the fine craftsmanship, and then nodded with approval, "Please thank His Highness for me!"

Song Guo laughed again, "His Highness said that from today onwards, we are family, there is no need for thanks."

Miao Zhu burst into laughter, "The engagement is today, and we haven’t even gone through the betrothal ceremony, yet we’re already considered family. I can’t help thinking that His Highness can’t wait to marry our Commandery Princess."

"Miss Miao Zhu is absolutely right; His Highness does indeed want to marry her as soon as possible!"

While speaking, Song Guo signaled Liu Yun and Yin Shuang to take out the ceremonial dress and display it in front of Leng Yu Yan.

He pointed at the phoenix embroidered on the dress, "His Highness mentioned that during the wedding, the bridal clothes will be embroidered with golden dragons and phoenixes. For this engagement dress, he decided to have silver ones."

Leng Yu Yan nodded in agreement, "Hmm, His Highness is very thoughtful."

Liu Yun and Yin Shuang put the dress back into the brocade box, and Song Guo then led them out.

Many guests had already arrived in the front courtyard.

Yun Feiyang approached Li Yuyue, gathering his courage to say, "I would like to see Princess Beilan."

Li Yuyue was quite surprised and asked in a low voice, "You couldn’t be regretting it, could you? Regretting that I arranged you two and you didn’t accept it?"

"It’s not exactly regret."

Yun Feiyang couldn’t quite describe his feelings at that moment.

He was acutely aware that Leng Yu Yan was not Huahua, but she had Huahua’s face, especially on a day like today when she was getting engaged to the Crown Prince—it was a significant event that made him feel a complex and entangled emotions.

Li Yuyue patted Yun Feiyang on the shoulder, "If you really do regret it, that’s alright; my sister is indeed likable. However, since today she is getting engaged to His Highness, if you truly have regrets, it’s best to keep them to yourself."

Yun Feiyang didn’t argue, simply nodding. Then he asked again, "May I see Cousin Yu Yan?"

"Of course, you may." Li Yuyue gestured with a hand, "I’ll take you."

When they reached Leng Yu Yan, she had just finished dressing and was wearing her ceremonial dress.

"Big brother, Cousin from the Yun Family." Leng Yu Yan greeted with a smile.

Seeing Ye Yiheng was there, Yun Feiyang quickly bowed in greeting, "Greetings to Crown Prince Your Highness!"

Ye Yiheng nodded slightly, looked up at Li Yuyue and asked, "This is..."

Li Yuyue smiled and explained, "Feiyang has some words he wishes to say to Yan’er. Please allow them some convenience, Your Highness."

Today was the engagement, and he truly hadn’t expected Ye Yiheng to come and watch over Yan’er as she got ready. However, it had to be said that, in terms of appearance, Ye Yiheng was perhaps the only one in the world who could match his sister.

Seeing the two clad in golden ceremonial robes, they were astonishingly well-matched and a delight to the eye.

Ye Yiheng lifted his hand and sauntered to the window seat, "You go ahead and speak; I won’t listen."

Seeing his demeanor, Li Yuyue had no choice but to sit in the chair next to him and gestured to Yun Feiyang, "Feiyang, you speak; pretend we aren’t here."

With Ye Yiheng not leaving, he couldn’t leave either. If he left, who knew what kind of disadvantage Feiyang might suffer.

"..." Seeing the two by the window adopting the same languid stance, Yun Feiyang broke into a sweat.

The change in his older cousin’s attitude was too obvious, wasn’t it? Before, he had been eager to pair him up with Leng Yu Yan but now, not only was he not dragging the Crown Prince away, the two sitting like this—he was preparing to watch a play?

Leng Yu Yan slightly tilted her head, "Does my cousin from the Yun Family have something to say? There are no outsiders here; please speak freely!"

Looking at her face, which was almost identical to Huahua’s, and realizing that the Crown Prince was present, Yun Feiyang’s mind sharpened, "Today, Cousin Yan’er is getting engaged to Your Highness; I have come to offer my congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Leng Yu Yan smiled.

She was not familiar with this cousin from the Yun Family, indeed quite unfamiliar. Fortunately, Ye Yiheng and her brother were present; otherwise, if she were left alone to talk with him, she wouldn’t know how to respond.

He couldn’t possibly have come because he was missing Huahua, could he?

But in the end, she was not Huahua.

With this thought, she added, "The revenge for my sister’s death has been avenged; my cousin from the Yun Family should let go of the entanglement in his heart."

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, she and her brothers would take care of it.

Yun Feiyang nodded repeatedly, finally fully awakening; however, the complex emotions in his heart couldn’t be so easily erased.

After a while, he said, "I wish Your Highness and Cousin great joy on the engagement!"

After speaking, he fled as if in a panic.

Leng Yu Yan watched, dumbfounded for a long time, confused by his actions.

She turned to look at the two sitting by the window, "Would either of you please explain?"

Li Yuyue spoke with a smile, "It’s getting late. Your Highness’s coming-of-age ceremony will proceed, followed by my sister’s hairpinning ceremony. The hairpinning ceremony should have been held when my sister turned fifteen, but she was in the countryside at that time, so today’s event will be more grand."

Pausing, he reminded her, "Huahua is one month older than my sister, and father is aware we’re making up for her hairpinning ceremony today, but mother doesn’t know it’s also my sister’s birthday today. Be careful not to let it slip later on."

Leng Yu Yan nodded, "Don’t worry, Big Brother!"

When the party arrived at the front courtyard, the guests were already seated in full attendance.

Old Prince Zhenbei, Lai Taihong, presided over Ye Yiheng’s coming-of-age ceremony and chose a courtesy name for him. Then, the Old Princess Consort presided over Leng Yu Yan’s hairpinning ceremony.

After the two ceremonies had concluded, Lai Taihong announced the most important event of the day, the engagement rites of Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan.

Instantly, applause thundered and cheers arose from all sides.

The banquet for the engagement continued non-stop from noon until evening, the guests imbibed to their heart’s content, and the Leng Family members were also happy.

Taking advantage of a moment when the Leng Family members were unprepared, Ye Yiheng pulled Leng Yu Yan to a pavilion in the garden.

"Yanyan, I have thought of the present I want."

His handsome lips curved slightly upward.

She looked up at him, "What would you like?"

He slightly lowered his head, and his eyes under his long brows shone like dark jade, "I want a kiss from you."

Before she could react, his thin lips covered hers.

"Mm, you..."

Leng Yu Yan’s mind became a blur, and before she could refuse, he was holding her waist, and the touch on her lips startled her into widening her eyes.
