On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince’s Hidden Illness
Chapter 480: Marriage Alliance Humiliation

Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Marriage Alliance Humiliation

Yu Yinglei looked at Ye Yiheng, who was clad in a plain white brocade robe and wore a Jade Crown, covered with an eye veil. He was indeed peerlessly handsome, more beautiful than an Immortal.

Beside him, Leng Yu Yan’s hair was pinned with a jade hairpin of the same color, exquisitely radiant, breathtakingly stunning, like a Heavenly Immortal descending to the mortal realm.

The two of them arriving in such fashion outshone the flowers and plants of the Imperial Garden, as well as all the people present.

Yu Yinglei fiercely dug her fingertips into the palm of her hand so she wouldn’t fail to smile.

She hadn’t expected that Ye Yiheng truly didn’t care about her, and had even asked Emperor Tiancheng to hold their wedding tomorrow.

Ye Zhenxian felt uneasy, "Father Emperor, wouldn’t tomorrow be too rushed?"

The Emperor looked at Ye Yiheng, "Ah Heng, why don’t you explain, apart from being an auspicious day, why else should it be tomorrow?"

Ye Yiheng slowly said, "Before long, the Prince Zhenbei Mansion will arrive in the capital, and at that time, I shall marry the Princess Beilan. As my elder brother, it is proper for you to be married before me, that’s one reason."

"Furthermore, the Beiliang Princess has come to the capital for marriage, prepared to wed on the spot. My brother is of age, and preparations at Prince Xian Mansion have long been ready. Hence, why wait for another day when the suitable time is upon us? I think tomorrow is rather good."

Having heard this, the Emperor nodded, "Indeed, Ah Xian is no longer young, it’s time for him to start a family and take charge. Let it be as the Crown Prince suggests, set Ah Xian and the Beiliang Princess’s wedding for tomorrow, and instruct the Ministry of Rites to act quickly!"

Ye Zhenxian and Yu Yinglei hurriedly paid their respects.

The scene confused Yu Haoqiong - what exactly did the blind Crown Prince intend to do?

At that moment, Lai Yu, clad in military attire, strode forward.

"Emperor, I dare to ask for a person from you."

The Emperor, surprised, said, "Oh, who does Heir Lai wish for?"

Lai Yu knelt on one knee and saluted, "Your subject fancies the Ninth Princess, please grant her hand in marriage to me, Emperor!"

The Emperor had long known that Ye Jiu favored Lai Yu, but despite how the Ninth Princess conveyed her feelings, Lai Yu always pretended to be unaware. Today, however, he decided to set matters straight, "Heir Lai, what made you fancy my Ah Ju?"

"Ninth Princess is rare in her genuine nature. I am a military general, not given to fancy words. I simply know that the Ninth Princess is to my liking, so I have come to request your decree!"

The Emperor, pleased, laughed heartily, "Good!"

After a short pause, the Emperor continued, "However, your father and grandfather will soon arrive in the capital, and this is a major matter for the Prince Zhenbei Mansion and the Tian Family. Better to have a more thorough discussion."

Lai Yu stood up and, with a smile, glanced at Ye Jiu before saying to the Emperor, "Thank you, Emperor!"

"Mm!" the Emperor nodded repeatedly, "Ah Ju’s wait has finally paid off!"

This scene made Ye Shi quite uncomfortable. The Heir of Prince Zhenbei was handsome and upright, not just in looks but also in actions, far surpassing Yu Haoqiong. What made her more envious was that marrying the Heir of Prince Zhenbei meant not having to leave her homeland.

What virtues and abilities did Ye Jiu possess to earn the favor of the Heir of Prince Zhenbei?

Ye Jiu happily walked to Lai Yu’s side, "Why have you come in military uniform?"

Lai Yu nodded, "The matter of proposing marriage should be taken seriously. Wearing my military attire is, first, to show the Emperor my determination to protect and serve our country, and second, to prove that my intention to marry Ye Jiu is as earnest as my military responsibilities."

"The Heir Lai claims to be poor with words, yet listen to how eloquently he speaks!" the Emperor laughed heartily.

After the Emperor left, everyone dispersed.

The Leng siblings headed back to Prince Zhenbei Mansion, and Ye Jiu shamelessly followed them, as did Ye Yiheng, naturally.

On the carriage.

Leng Yu Yan said happily, "Big brother is amazing!"

Lai Yu looked towards Ye Yiheng, "It is all thanks to Your Highness, which gave me the opportunity to speak up. The Emperor had to agree, even if he didn’t want to."

"Why?" asked Ye Jiu, puzzled.

"If our Leng Family sought marriage with the Tian Family without prior arrangements, the Emperor would surely refuse. But with Ye Zhenxian’s wedding to the Beiliang Princess set, and in front of so many witnesses, the Emperor could not lose face." Lai Yu explained, "Now, although it’s pushed onto my Father King and grandfather, everyone knows that you, Ye Jiu, are the person I, Lai Yu, desire."

Ye Jiu nodded eagerly, her gaze shifting towards Ye Yiheng, "Sixth Brother, why did you insist on having the wedding for that scoundrel Ye Zhenxian and that woman from Beiliang tomorrow?"

"Just when they get married, that’s when the show becomes exciting," Ye Yiheng turned his wrist slightly and spoke indifferently.

"Best to anger Ye Zhenxian to death, that bastard!" Ye Jiu nodded somewhat knowingly, then took Leng Yu Yan’s hand, "Ah Yan, I’m one step closer to becoming your sister-in-law."

Leng Yu Yan smiled and said, "Good, one step closer!"

--

The next day, Ye Zhenxian’s grand wedding took place.

The wedding day was so hastily arranged that Ye Zhenxian always felt that he had fallen into Ye Yiheng’s trap.

But Yu Haoqiong said Ye Yiheng was only lashing out in his embarrassment, a sentiment Ye Zhenxian did not share.

He always had the feeling that his prior physical humiliation, coupled with the commotion at the brothel, had been widely disseminated, and his condition had likely reached Ye Yiheng, who then set the wedding date for him.

He had originally planned to find the Divine Doctor and have him restore what was lost so he could marry the Beiliang Princess.

But now, he was to be married today.

How would he get through the wedding night?

Amidst Ye Zhenxian’s anxious unease, the time ticked toward evening, and Yu Yinglei, adorned in a phoenix crown and red wedding dress, was sent into Prince Xian Mansion.

Prince Xian Mansion was bustling with excitement, not just with the people from Beiliang to accompany the marriage party but also with Tiancheng’s numerous ministers.

Because Ye Yiheng was rarely present, and with Prince Liang also in attendance, Tiancheng’s princes and princesses also arrived at Prince Xian Mansion in droves.

Even Tian Family’s cousins and second cousins also came to Prince Xian Mansion to offer their well-wishes.

The more people there were, the more nervous Ye Zhenxian became.

Especially in the evening, when the guests were drinking merrily, showing no signs of leaving.

Ye Zhenxian was plied with plenty of drink and was then pushed towards the bridal chamber by Yu Haoqiong.

"Life is short, spring nights especially so, Prince Xian, do not keep my sister waiting too long."

After a drink, Ye Zhenxian temporarily set aside his humiliation and entered the bridal chamber laughing.

Yu Yinglei, sitting at the edge of the bed, looked bashfully beautiful. Today, upon hearing that Ye Yiheng had come to Prince Xian Mansion for the wedding banquet, a smirk crept onto her lips.

She knew that Ye Yiheng actually had feelings for her; otherwise, why would he, blind, still come to drink at the wedding?

Wasn’t it said that Prince Tiancheng rarely attended such events?

It must be that he had feelings for her but could not marry her himself and had no choice but to push her away!

Yu Yinglei felt a sense of contentment as she thought this.

At that moment, Ye Zhenxian stumbled to the head of the bed and clumsily lifted Yu Yinglei’s red veil.

"The princess looks beautiful tonight!"

Yu Yinglei smiled softly, "Prince Xian, you too look handsome."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ye Zhenxian rushed over, unable to wait any longer...

Before long, a piercing scream erupted from the bridal chamber.

Immediately after, Yu Yinglei, with hair disheveled and barefoot, ran towards the front courtyard, "Seventh Prince, save me!"

Yu Haoqiong furrowed his brow and steadied her, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

The front courtyard was crowded with guests, who all turned to look toward the Yu siblings.

"Prince Xian is not a man; Prince Xian is a eunuch!"

Yu Yinglei cried out, trembling and hiding behind Yu Haoqiong.
