On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 45 - Moving into the Eastern Palace
Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Moving into the Eastern Palace
Ninth Princess seemed a bit surprised, the mocking smile on her face diminishing slightly.
Only then did Ye Yiheng slowly speak, “Ah Ju, do not deceive her; if there’s a problem, come at me.”
The light soft candlelight shone through the Immortal Crane Glass Lamp nearby, casting a reflection on his uniquely handsome face, giving him an otherworldly charm, like an immortal.
A smirk passed over Prince Liang’s lips, always carrying the air of an invalid.
Exquisitely proud, as if towering high above the clouds, loftily looking down upon all living things.
It was really quite irritating!
Fortunately, the Crown Prince would soon be abolished, and he was curious to see how he would maintain his air then.
It would be a laudable deed indeed, to personally thrust him down into the dust.
To the words of the Crown Prince, the Emperor nodded in satisfaction, “Crown Princess Consort, do not fret, just consider this a casual family gathering.”
Leng Yu Yan obediently nodded in agreement. “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Consort Xian shifted her position slightly to better observe Leng Yu Yan’s expression.
Though wearing a veil, the composure in her eyes and brows increased her esteem for her.
Additionally, her response to Ninth Princess’s earlier remarks showed that this plain girl had some ability.
The corners of Leng Yu Yan’s lips under the veil moved slightly, as Ye Yiheng had remained silent before letting her handle the situation herself and then speaking up.
This man’s thoughts were indeed complex.
As for the others, while their smiles were appropriate, their thoughts likely varied greatly.
Fortunately, the meal passed quickly.
After the small family banquet concluded, Leng Yu Yan followed Ye Yiheng back to the Eastern Palace.
Inside the horse carriage, the two remained silent.
Being able to see was a benefit, for when others thought he was blind, he could observe their subtle expressions.
Illuminated by the light emitted from the Luminous Pearls embedded in the carriage’s roof, Ye Yiheng could clearly see the reluctance in her eyes.
Reluctantly coming to the Eastern Palace with him, reluctant to marry him.
Other daughters of noble families, relying on their distinguished backgrounds and pleasant appearances, sought good matches among the princes to find support for their families.
She, however, was nothing more than the Leng Family’s abandoned daughter left in a ravine.
Unmentionable family background, a reserved description for her appearance, and as for talent, it was utterly useless.
And yet, such a woman dared to be reluctant!
He truly put all his years of cultivation into this very moment.
Otherwise, no matter how spacious the carriage, it would still feel oppressively cramped to him.
Leng Yu Yan lowered her eyes; since leaving Xiande Hall, the man beside her had not uttered a single word.
She could personally feel his dislike for her at this moment.
This man was like a block of hard ice dug from a millennium-old snow-capped mountain, exuding coldness, his expression nearly spelling out “keep away from me.”
With this, if she asked to return to the Leng Residence for a few more days, he would probably agree.
Just then, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Eastern Palace.
The two alighted from the carriage one after the other.
To Leng Yu Yan’s surprise, Miao Zhu and Mrs. Zhao were already waiting there. For a moment, she did not know how to begin asking to return to the Leng Residence.
Leng Yu Yan opened her mouth but hadn’t spoken a word when she saw Ye Yiheng stride into the Eastern Palace without needing anyone’s help.
At this point, Song Guo approached, “Miss Leng, following His Highness’s wishes, it’s not suitable for you to stay in the guest pavilions. Knowing you prefer tranquility, your courtyard has been arranged in Tingfeng Garden.”
Seeing Leng Yu Yan’s gaze following her master as he walked away, Song Guo explained, “Inside the Eastern Palace, although His Highness cannot see, he is familiar with every place, therefore he can walk as a normal person.”
Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan withdrew her gaze.
Indeed, a blind man does not need a lantern to walk at night.
Even if he carries a lantern, it is only to prevent others from bumping into him.
In the pitch-dark night, a blind man in a familiar environment naturally navigates more smoothly than others.
Thinking this, Leng Yu Yan smiled lightly, “As for the courtyard I reside in, it is all up to Your Highness to arrange.”
If possible, she wouldn’t choose any yard inside the Eastern Palace.
But there was the imperial decree, unavoidable.
Hearing this, Song Guo nodded and then turned around, “Please, Miss Miao Zhu and Mrs. Zhao, take Miss over.”

Miao Zhu complied, and Mrs. Zhao nodded.
Song Guo turned back and added, “The gifts sent earlier have been settled in the Tingfeng Garden warehouse, Miss can check them when she’s free.”
“Good, thank you,” Leng Yu Yan gracefully expressed her thanks.
The people of the Eastern Palace acted quite in alignment with their master.
Outside, they call her Crown Princess Consort.
Once on their turf, they revert to the original status.
Quite good!
Miao Zhu and Mrs. Zhao each carried a lantern, leading Leng Yu Yan to Tingfeng Garden.
Although the entire Eastern Palace was brightly lit, it was apparent that Tingfeng Garden had fewer lanterns hanging along the road and under the eaves compared to other courtyards.
Occasionally, palace maids and eunuchs passed by on the road, so Miao Zhu and Mrs. Zhao only started speaking after entering Tingfeng Garden.
“Miss, Mrs. Zhao and I arrived at dusk, and we found this courtyard quite secluded, even more so at night.”
Leng Yu Yan smiled slightly, opened the window, and pointed to the distance, “I think it’s quite good, look, the courtyard is right next to the surrounding wall.”
Mrs. Zhao glanced at the height of the wall, much higher than that of normal official residences, and hurriedly expressed concern, “Miss, be careful when climbing the wall!”
Miao Zhu chuckled, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Zhao!”
Since it was late, the three of them made simple preparations and went to bed.
Leng Yu Yan looked at the canopy of the bed. On the day she came to the Eastern Palace, she had nightmares upon returning.
Today, she straightforwardly stayed over.
Who knows what her dreams would be like later?
But the next day, she woke up without dreams, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
Leng Yu Yan couldn’t figure out the reason and simply stopped thinking about it.
When she arrived at Xinya Academy, Mi Xinmei happily took a seat next to her, “Yu Yan, the acne on my face has reduced a lot, and it’s only been two days, the change is really significant!”
“If you find it noticeable, then others definitely see it too.”
“Yes, Yu Yan, I really want to thank you. How should I thank you?” Mi Xinmei smiled warmly, adding, “My brother really regrets what he said to you before, he said he wants to apologize to you in person when he gets the chance.”
Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan took the opportunity to speak, “Wait until your acne is completely healed, it’s not too late to thank me then. Just invite me over to your house for a simple meal.”
The important documents couldn’t be found; perhaps useful information could be gleaned from Mi Xinrong.
“Okay!” Mi Xinmei happily agreed, then her smile faded, “Speaking of a simple meal at home, my maid really did come to persuade me yesterday, saying that my diet lacks nutrition.”
“This sounds like there’s a problem,” Leng Yu Yan slightly raised her eyebrows and whispered, “Have someone follow her, there might be a surprise.”
Mi Xinmei nodded repeatedly.
Seeing Mi Xinmei close to Leng Yu Yan, Lai Jiajia came over yawning, “Sister, I didn’t sleep well last night since you weren’t at home. I kept thinking about going to the academy alone in the morning.”
Mi Xinmei immediately stood up, giving her seat back to Lai Jiajia, and joked with a smile, “The only thing that can keep you up all night is our Yu Yan.”
Hearing this, Lai Jiajia was surprised, “It seems my sister’s recipe is not bad; my face is smoother, and my lips are more eloquent.”
