It was all because I spoke too quickly, offering to help the Commandery Princess retrieve her clothes. Who would have thought the Princely Heir would actually ask when the Commandery Princess went to the Eastern Palace? Song Guo felt as if he had caused a huge disaster, trembling nervously. Li Yuyue shouted, "Aren’t you going to fetch the clothes quickly?" Song Guo nodded hastily and hurried towards Leng Yu Yan’s courtyard. When he arrived at Leng Yu Yan’s courtyard, Song Guo saw Miao Zhu and quickly said, "Quickly bring several sets of the Commandery Princess’s clothes, from the inside out, so I can take them to the Eastern Palace." "Is my mistress at the Eastern Palace?" "When did this happen?" "Don’t you know when the Commandery Princess left?" asked Song Guo. Miao Zhu shook her head blankly, "I got up and found the Commandery Princess gone; I had no clue." "Last night, the Commandery Princess came to the Eastern Palace looking for His Highness, and you, as her personal maid, didn’t know?" Song Guo angrily pointed at Miao Zhu’s forehead. Miao Zhu slapped her thigh in dismay, "Oh no, I’ve caused trouble." "Caused trouble?" Song Guo was puzzled. "Usually, it’s His Highness who comes looking for the Commandery Princess. This morning when I found her missing and the window wide open, I assumed she had been kidnapped and had Qiubo Dongyan go look for the Princely Heir." No wonder the Princely Heir looked so terrible, Song Guo pushed Miao Zhu, "Hurry and get the clothes." Shortly after, Song Guo brought Miao Zhu to the front courtyard, only to find the Princely Heir waiting solemnly with Xiaoshan and Gao Yuan. "Princely Heir, we have fetched the Commandery Princess’s clothes," he said with a forced smile. "It seems there might have been some misunderstanding." Miao Zhu quickly added, "Princely Heir, the maid admits her mistake." Li Yuyue, eager to see Leng Yu Yan, said flatly, "Let’s go to the Eastern Palace first." The group headed towards the Eastern Palace. More than one hour later, they arrived at the Eastern Palace. Song Guo first asked Li Yuyue and the others to wait in the main hall, while he and Miao Zhu went to the Crown Prince’s bedroom. Upon seeing her own mistress, Miao Zhu dropped to her knees, "Commandery Princess, when I got up and found you missing, I thought you had been kidnapped, so I sent Qiubo Dongyan to look for the Princely Heir..." Leng Yu Yan understood the situation after listening to the explanation, and after dressing properly, she headed to the main hall. Li Yuyue looked her over carefully from head to toe, and only after seeing not a hair was out of place did he feel relieved. Miao Zhu repeated the explanation to Li Yuyue. Li Yuyue’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, "You mean the Crown Prince often climbs through the window to visit the Commandery Princess?" Miao Zhu was on the verge of tears, as it seemed the more she explained, the worse it got. Just then, Ye Yiheng sauntered in, "Indeed, I often visit Yanyan." Li Yuyue’s lips twitched, "Your Highness, you come to stay the night at the Prince Mansion, and I won’t object to you entering through the front door in all propriety, but jumping through windows undermines your status!" "It’s leaping, not climbing," Ye Yiheng corrected him. Li Yuyue sighed deeply, turning to Leng Yu Yan, "Yan’er, you are a lady; how can you follow his example?" Leng Yu Yan approached him with a coquette air, "Big brother, it was me who wanted to see His Highness last night, and to avoid waking Miao Zhu, I went through the window." Wishing to see a man in the dead of night, Li Yuyue raised his hand to his forehead, his expression growing ever more unsightly. Could it be that his little sister had grown up and really couldn’t be kept at home any longer? "Yan’er, tell your brother, did His Highness seduce you?" Ye Yiheng might be handsome, but the men of the Leng Family were also handsome; how could his sister be so easily seduced by the Crown Prince? Leng Yu Yan shook her head, "No, I went to find His Highness myself." Li Yuyue’s nostrils flared, his angry eyes glaring at Ye Yiheng, "Did His Highness give my sister some kind of love potion?" "In such a manner do you speak, I take no pleasure in hearing it," Ye Yiheng retorted, "What kind of love potion did you give to my sister? She has stayed at the Prince Mansion for so long." Yanyan only came to see him once, knowing that Ye Jiu was staying at the Prince Mansion, where she could see Li Yuyue every night. Compared to them, he and Yanyan were much more restrained. Moreover, he and Yanyan were already engaged, with a marriage edict granted, whereas Li Yuyue and Ye Jiu had nothing. "You!" Li Yuyue became anxious, "Believe it or not, I will not agree to your marriage?" Ye Yiheng raised an eyebrow, responding lightly, "What if I don’t agree to your marriage with Ah Ju?" Upon hearing this, Li Yuyue knew he had lost. Leng Yu Yan took hold of Li Yuyue’s arm, pleading coquettishly, "Big brother, His Highness proposed to me, and I have agreed to marry him. My coming to see His Highness yesterday was indeed impulsive, but at the time, I had a terrible nightmare and was very scared. The only one I wanted to see was His Highness, thus I came to the Eastern Palace. Please don’t blame His Highness, he took care of me all night." Li Yuyue’s heart suddenly ached, his sister actually said that the only one she wanted to see was the Crown Prince. Was he just a decoration as her older brother? "Yan’er, I am your big brother, we are siblings. If you have nightmares, you can talk to your big brother about the scenes in the dream. If there’s any inconvenience, seeking Ye Jiu is also an option. Why must you go all the way to see a certain someone?" Li Yuyue gave a side glance at that certain someone. With a snort, Ye Yiheng said, "Yanyan dreamt of me, naturally she only wanted to see me. Big cousin, you should return to the military camp soon." Li Yuyue clicked his tongue, further argument seeming useless, so he sighed, "Since the misunderstanding is resolved, I will return to the camp!" After taking a few steps with Gao Yuan and Xiaoshan, Li Yuyue turned back and hurriedly approached Ye Yiheng, "Your Highness must not oppose my marriage to Ye Jiu!" Ye Yiheng laughed aloud, "Alright, but the big cousin must also promise me one thing." "Please speak, Your Highness!" "In the few days leading up to the Imperial Examination, Yanyan will stay in the Eastern Palace." "Fine, fine, a grown woman can’t be kept from leaving," Li Yuyue waved his hand dismissively, striding out. Leng Yu Yan exclaimed in surprise, "How did it become about me staying in the Eastern Palace?" She had hugged him, originally planning to return to the Prince Mansion today, but the turn of events was somewhat unexpected. "I will help you review," Ye Yiheng smiled warmly. Now that she was in the Eastern Palace, naturally, he would not easily let her leave. "That’s fine," Leng Yu Yan pondered and said, considering the Imperial Examination was in just a few days, "I’ll stay at Tingfeng Garden." "Good," Ye Yiheng moved his fingers slightly. Upon seeing this, Song Guo immediately ordered someone to clean Tingfeng Garden. At the entrance of the Eastern Palace, Li Yuyue mounted his horse, turning his head to ask Gao Yuan beside him, "Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince will secretly oppose my marriage to the Ninth Princess?" Gao Yuan, holding the reins, respectfully replied, "Most likely not, the Crown Prince’s word is binding once spoken, beyond recall." Xiaoshan also said, "I think His Highness the Crown Prince is just trying to intimidate the Princely Heir." Hearing this, Li Yuyue turned his head to the other side, "Why?" "The Crown Prince’s sibling relationship with the Ninth Princess is far less close than that of the Princely Heir and the Commandery Princess," Xiaoshan carefully chose his words, speaking cautiously, "In my view, the Crown Prince is truly cold towards others, but he is different with the Commandery Princess." Hearing these words, Li Yuyue laughed heartily, "All right, it’s the person my sister chose herself, what can I as her big brother do about it?" Inside the Eastern Palace, as Leng Yu Yan walked toward Tingfeng Garden, she said, "It’s just a few days’ stay, a simple cleaning will do." Ye Yiheng’s eyes and brows gave a faint twitch, once the Imperial Examination was over, he would find a way to keep her in the Eastern Palace. Living here, the time until their great wedding would soon arrive...
