Leng Yu Yan arrived at Tingfeng Garden, just as the palace maids and eunuchs finished cleaning. She was surprised; the people of the Eastern Palace were quite swift. Song Guo explained, "Ever since the Commandery Princess moved out of Tingfeng Garden, His Highness ordered the place to be cleaned every few days." Ye Yiheng said indifferently, "Chatterbox." Today Miao Zhu had caused a mishap and followed her master from the Crown Prince’s bedroom to Tingfeng Garden. On this walk, she kept her mouth shut if she could. Now, overhearing the Crown Prince’s conversation with Song Guo, she couldn’t help but interject, "Tingfeng Garden remains the same as it was a year ago. It’s quiet here, fitting for my mistress, the Commandery Princess, to read her books." Ye Yiheng ignored Song Guo and Miao Zhu, and he directly took Leng Yu Yan’s hand and walked her into the house. Miao Zhu, accustomed to following her mistress, the Commandery Princess, followed suit. Seeing this, Song Guo hastily pulled her back, "Have some awareness!" "I am very aware!" Miao Zhu lowered her voice, "It’s precisely because I’m aware that I must follow." She didn’t follow last night and a big mess ensued; she had to be with them at all times. Besides, because of the Crown Prince’s health, he pursued a life of restraint and desirelessness. Under such circumstances, what could His Highness possibly do with her Commandery Princess? Song Guo leaned in close to Miao Zhu’s ear, also lowering his voice, "What if His Highness and the Commandery Princess want to kiss?" Miao Zhu’s eyes suddenly widened, and she desperately shouted, "Song Guo, you’re indecent!" This was broad daylight. Even if they had seen shadows by the window in the courtyard at the foot of Linzhou Mountain, that was late at night. Song Guo hurriedly covered her mouth, "Miss, quiet down!" Inside, Leng Yu Yan heard this and tried to pull away from Ye Yiheng’s grasp, "I’ll go outside and have a look." Ye Yiheng tightened his hold on her hand, "Look at what?" "Didn’t you hear Miao Zhu shouting?" Ye Yiheng’s handsome brows moved slightly. How could he not have heard? He even heard clearly what Song Guo had said and hence claimed, "Perhaps they’re just fooling around." "Playing around?" Leng Yu Yan frowned. Ye Yiheng indifferently said again, "Song Guo is a eunuch." Some people are no different from eunuchs and yet still bully her? But she kept this thought to herself and didn’t utter a word. "Let’s go to the study," he said, leading her by the hand towards the study within the garden. Leng Yu Yan pricked up her ears to the noise outside; it seemed like Song Guo and Miao Zhu had stopped arguing, so she followed him into the study. "The books required for the Imperial Examination have been prepared," Ye Yiheng pointed at the bookshelf and looked around, asking, "Take a look, are we missing anything?" Leng Yu Yan walked up to the bookshelf and flipped through the books, "This is good, thank you, Your Highness!" "Does your stomach still hurt?" he asked again. "Ah?" His change of topic was so abrupt that Leng Yu Yan was taken aback, but she quickly caught on, "It doesn’t hurt anymore." Ye Yiheng ’hmm’ed, "The kitchen has prepared some dishes suitable for women. Should we have them in the bedroom, or should I send them to Tingfeng Garden?" Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips and gave a shallow smile, thinking that marrying someone like him might not be so bad. "What are you smiling about?" "I’m wondering if Your Highness would make a good husband." "Do you want to experience it ahead of time?" "About life after marriage." Leng Yu Yan hummed, "Your Highness keeps me in the Eastern Palace not to help me review, right?" Ye Yiheng’s voice was light with a hint of laughter, "You’re overthinking it, if not for review, why would I keep you in Tingfeng Garden?" "Oh, right," Leng Yu Yan mumbled softly. Outside, Song Guo was leading Miao Zhu out. Once they were outside Tingfeng Garden, Miao Zhu shook off his hand, her voice exceptionally clear, "Song Guo, you’re a eunuch. Why do you need to know so clearly what the Crown Prince and Commandery Princess are doing?" "Exactly because I am a eunuch, I need to know clearly," Song Guo said seriously, "The Crown Prince is my Master, and my Master’s happiness is of the utmost importance!" Looking up at the sky, Miao Zhu said, "If not for the fact that the Crown Prince is kind to my Commandery Princess, and considering the Crown Prince’s inability...I would think that he’s not worthy of my Commandery Princess. Just think, how beautiful my Commandery Princess is, and if she were to have children, how good-looking they would be!" At those words, Song Guo fell silent. The Crown Prince’s inability indeed presented a considerable hurdle. Seeing the sad look on Song Guo’s face, Miao Zhu slowly added, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say that." It was then that Song Guo said, "If the Crown Prince could have children, he and the Commandery Princess’s children would definitely be attractive. I would then help them take care of the children, but I’m afraid that dream won’t come true." He was a eunuch, and all he wished for was his Master’s well-being. But when he thought about his Master’s situation, it pained him. The Crown Prince had been lonely since childhood, and even after growing up and marrying, he would still be lonely if he couldn’t have his own children. Fortunately, the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Commandery Princess was getting better, and the fact that the Commandery Princess could stay by his side was a beautiful tale. Miao Zhu pulled Song Guo towards the small bamboo forest. Seeing her conspiratorial demeanor, Song Guo asked, "What else do you want to say?" Miao Zhu looked around to ensure no one was nearby before she spoke, "The Commandery Princess previously made medicated cuisine for the Crown Prince. I added a large dose to the cuisine, but unexpectedly, the Crown Prince recognized it. Not only did he refuse to drink it, he even fed the Commandery Princess two spoonsful." Song Guo sighed, "Yes, that did happen." Miao Zhu lowered her voice, "Our Commandery Princess is a Divine Doctor. She needs to first understand the man’s condition, like what exactly makes him impotent, before she can prescribe the right remedy. But with the Crown Prince refusing the medicated cuisine, what are we to do?" Song Guo smacked his forehead, his mood lifting, "How could I forget that our Commandery Princess is a Divine Doctor? If the Commandery Princess takes a look, she might find a cure for the Crown Prince’s condition." In that case, he could look forward to holding a young master. Miao Zhu scoffed, "I’m talking about the Crown Prince rejecting the medicated cuisine. Since you attend to him closely, what should we do?" "It’s not surprising that the Crown Prince is familiar with the medicated cuisine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital in the past. But if he’s not drinking it, it’s probably because he knows his own body," Song Guo paused before continuing, "If the Commandery Princess makes the medicated cuisine again, should we think of a way to incorporate it into some food, so that the Crown Prince consumes it unwittingly? Then, depending on his condition, the Commandery Princess can prescribe the right medicine." Miao Zhu nodded repeatedly, "In that case, we must work together!" Song Guo happily high-fived Miao Zhu, then asked, "When will the Commandery Princess make the medicated cuisine again?" "The Imperial Examination is only a few days away, and the Commandery Princess doesn’t even have time to read." After a short pause, Miao Zhu added, "I know the recipe. I’ll cook it, and you’ll be responsible for instructing the kitchen staff." "I’ll instruct the kitchen to fill the soup dumplings with the medicated broth. What do you think?" "That’s an excellent idea!" Miao Zhu gave a thumbs-up, "The Commandery Princess has indeed written recipes ." The two hurried to the kitchen. When Leng Yu Yan followed Ye Yiheng out of Tingfeng Garden, she looked around and didn’t see Miao Zhu and Song Guo. She muttered quietly, "Miao Zhu has become bold, daring to leave her post without permission." "Isn’t Song Guo also not here?" Ye Yiheng said. "Has your Song Guo taken a liking to my Miao Zhu?" Leng Yu Yan asked directly. "Is that so?" Ye Yiheng frowned slightly. He had once said that if they took a fancy to any girl, he would decide for them. Could it be that even a eunuch like Song Guo could harbor such feelings?
