On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 435: Whispering

Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Whispering

Ye Yiheng spoke indifferently, "Tell Yanyan and the Princely Heir why you look down on Yu Haoqiong."

Ye Jiu candidly replied, "First, his appearance does not catch my eye, second, the winter in Beiliang is too long."

At that time, Li Yuyue had not yet entered the capital as a hostage. Thinking back, she was lucky to have rejected Yu Haoqiong earlier. Otherwise, she would have been the one suffering the cold in Beiliang, and how would she have met Lai Yu?

Ye Yiheng picked up the wine pot and poured Li Yuyue a cup of wine, "Beiliang is north of Beilan City, and my eldest uncle has the most say in this."

"That’s very true, Your Highness," Li Yuyue slightly curled his lips. "Beiliang is an extremely cold place, and in recent years, the snow disasters have been particularly severe. During the four seasons, the peasants have a very short season in which they can cultivate crops, thus to a certain extent, the national strength of Beiliang is in decline."

Ye Yiheng nodded, "That’s exactly why Beiliang wants to send the Princess here."

Ye Jiu suddenly realized, "So, if the Beiliang Princess comes here, whoever of my brothers marries her, it would be a thankless task?"

"It’s not entirely so; there are still people who would want to marry her," Ye Yiheng said languidly.

Ye Jiu was even more puzzled, "Why is that?"

Li Yuyue patiently explained, "The princes hold different statuses and powers. To some, the Beiliang Princess represents the entirety of Beiliang. Little do they know that those sent for marriage, especially those sent willingly, what weight do they hold in the eyes of the Emperor Bei Liang?"

Ye Yiheng added, "The territory of Beiliang is half the size of what the Zhenbei Prince Mansion governs. In some people’s eyes, the status of the Princess Beilan is far higher than that of the Beiliang Princess."

Ye Jiu finally understood. She excitedly slapped the table, "That’s what I thought, why would all my brothers want to marry Ah Yan?"

Aside from Sixth Brother, all the others are daydreamers!

Ye Yiheng gave her a glance, "You seem to know quite a bit."

Leng Yu Yan paid no heed to them, she just slyly sipped her wine. After finishing the wine in her little cup, she stealthily reached out to grab the wine pot in front of Ye Yiheng...

He caught her in the act, "You want to drink more?"

"My big brother allows me one cup, and Your Highness allows me another cup, is that okay?" she blinked, pleadingly looking at him.

Ye Yiheng’s heart softened, and he let go of her small hand.

Leng Yu Yan finally filled her little wine cup. Just as she was going to put down the wine pot, Ye Jiu cheekily moved her wine cup close to Leng Yu Yan, and Leng Yu Yan poured wine into her cup as well.

The four of them dined and chatted, very much enjoying themselves.

When they were almost done eating, Ye Jiu hugged Leng Yu Yan’s arm, "Ah Yan, I’ll sleep with you tonight, okay?"

Leng Yu Yan asked, "Isn’t sleeping in the guest house good?"

"I walked around freely at the family banquet today, even Ye Shi was annoyed by your ingenuity. Thus, I want to reward you, reward you by sleeping together," Ye Jiu said, burping mid-sentence.

Leng Yu Yan expressed her difficulty, "I have bad sleeping habits."

While speaking, she surreptitiously glanced at someone sitting opposite her, fearing he might blurt out something astonishing.

Unexpectedly, he was busy drinking with his elder brother and did not bother about her.

Ye Jiu rested her head on Leng Yu Yan’s shoulder, "Let’s bathe together and then whisper secrets."

At that moment, Li Yuyue was toasting with Ye Yiheng, and both said in unison, "No!"

Leng Yu Yan initially didn’t intend to agree with Ye Jiu, but opposition from both him and his elder brother provoked her rebelliously, "Why not? Both Ah Ju and I are females."

Ye Yiheng naturally couldn’t say that he disliked her bathing with someone else, even if that person was a female and also his sister; that just wouldn’t do!

Just as he was pondering how to respond better, Li Yuyue coldly said, "Ye Jiu is very lustful, you will be at a disadvantage, little sister."

Ye Jiu was startled, quickly retorting, "What a thing to say, Princely Heir! So in your eyes, I am lustful!"

She stood up briskly and declared, "Even if I am lascivious, it’s your charms I desire!"

"Look at you, so unrestrained in your speech and you still claim you’re not lustful?" Li Yuyue’s expression remained impassive, but his blushing ears betrayed him.

Seeing them like this, Ye Yiheng couldn’t help but chuckle, raising his cup to drink and hiding his urge to laugh.

Ye Jiu sat back down and whispered to Ye Yiheng, "Sixth Brother, won’t you persuade the Princely Heir to take a bath with Ah Yan? I can help you check how good Ah Yan’s figure really is."

Ye Yiheng nearly spurted out the wine he had just sipped, "No need to trouble yourself with that."

At this point, Leng Yu Yan dared not bathe with Ye Jiu anymore.

"Ah Jiu, once you’ve finished bathing in the guest quarters, come to my room."

Ye Jiu sighed, "Alright."

Soon, the two women left together, leaving the two men to continue drinking.

Leng Yu Yan and Ye Jiu walked together for a while before heading to their respective quarters.

More than one hour later, having finished bathing and donned her nightgown and a thick cloak, Ye Jiu went to Leng Yu Yan’s room.

Leng Yu Yan was leaning against the bedhead, reading a storybook. Seeing her approach, she asked, "Are you going to sleep on the same side as me, or separate sides?"

"Naturally, the same side." Ye Jiu, smiling warmly, took off her cloak and climbed onto the bed.

Leng Yu Yan closed the storybook. "You’re sleeping with me, do you have some secrets to whisper?"

Ye Jiu asked softly, "Have you ever kissed my Sixth Brother?"

"Ah, is that why you asked?" Leng Yu Yan’s face suddenly flushed.

"Ha, look at you blushing; that means you have!" Ye Jiu leaned in close, "Quick, tell me, what does kissing feel like?"

"I won’t tell." Leng Yu Yan lay down and covered herself with the blanket, hiding her blushing face while leaving her eyes exposed.

Ye Jiu lay down too and sighed deeply, "I want to kiss your brother; when do you think would be a good time?"

"Ah Jiu, you’ve really stumped me with that question. I can’t answer." Leng Yu Yan’s head felt heavy.

Ye Family members really are shameless, asking such questions without blushing.

Ye Jiu reached out to tickle Leng Yu Yan’s waist, "If you don’t tell, I’ll tickle you until you beg for mercy."

As soon as Ye Jiu touched her, Leng Yu Yan burst into relentless giggles, grabbing her wrist, "I tell you, I won’t beg for mercy; I’ll just start hitting."

Hearing this, Ye Jiu finally realized, considering Leng Yu Yan’s martial skills and medical skills, she was no match for her and quickly laughed and begged, "Alright Ah Yan, spare me please!"

Leng Yu Yan released her wrist, and Ye Jiu quickly moved her hand out of the blanket.

"Don’t cover yourself with the blanket so tightly." Ye Jiu tugged it down slightly, tucking in the corners for her, then patted her chest, "So resilient, Ah Yan, you truly are a Heavenly Girl descending to earth!"

"If you keep being handsy, do you believe I’ll throw you out?"

Leng Yu Yan finally knew her brother had been telling the truth.

At that moment, Miao Zhu came in, "Commandery Princess, Ninth Princess, the Crown Prince and the Princely Heir are here, waiting outside for the Ninth Princess."

Ye Jiu sat up, "Why?"

Miao Zhu said, a bit embarrassed, "The Princely Heir has asked the Princess to return to the guest quarters to sleep, and the Crown Prince also thinks the same, and furthermore, His Highness will stay in the Commandery Princess’s room tonight."

Ye Jiu exclaimed, "Ah, Sixth Brother is going to sleep with Ah Yan?"
