Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Teasing with the Mouth “If you continue to consider me your brother, or sister, for that matter, I have ways to deal with you.” With that, he pressed forcefully against her delicate lips with his finger. Leng Yu Yan was both angry and annoyed, and her palm, filled with Inner Strength, struck the water’s surface forcefully, causing water to splash everywhere, drenching her face as well. Meanwhile, someone had already teleported to one side, untouched by a single droplet. Ye Yiheng chuckled and shook his head, picked up the clothes from the wooden stool and left the bathroom. After changing his clothes in the bedroom, he suddenly heard two consecutive sneezes from the bathroom and quickly returned. He saw her standing beside the bathtub, sopping wet, rubbing her nose with her fingertips. Ye Yiheng’s handsome brows furrowed tightly as he quickly stepped forward, shaking out a large cotton towel to drape over her. His gaze inadvertently swept across her chest, which was provocatively prominent. Hastily, he averted his gaze, and his motions of draping the towel over her became somewhat clumsy. Leng Yu Yan spoke with a hint of grievance, “The toxins in your body are diminishing, and the water temperature for bathing is now different from before. This temperature is too cold for me.” As she spoke, her beautiful eyes brimmed with moisture, and the tip of her nose turned slightly red, clearly showing her utmost distress. Ye Yiheng took another cotton towel, feeling guilty as he helped to dry her hair. Seeing him turn his back to the bathtub, a sly glint flashed in Leng Yu Yan’s eyes. She twisted her wrist, channeling Inner Strength into her palm, and with a move faster than lightning, she pushed forcefully against his chest. She couldn’t move him! Ye Yiheng grasped both of her wrists with one hand, “I knew you were channeling Inner Strength.” That’s when Leng Yu Yan noticed his feet were planted on the ground as immovably as Mount Tai. As soon as she finished speaking, she sneezed again. “You’re cold, but I have a way to warm you up.” She asked, “What way…” Before she could finish her question, his warm lips covered hers. Their kiss was intense and passionate, rolling and crushing. It wasn’t until her cheeks grew hot red, her breaths became disordered, and her body temperature returned to normal that he finally let her go. Leng Yu Yan stood unsteadily, supporting herself on the edge of the bathtub, gasping for air. Yet, someone acted as if nothing had happened, calling for someone to change the water. Immersed in the warm water, Leng Yu Yan furrowed her brows in thought— Why was she always led by the nose by him? Where did he learn such skills to tease with his mouth? What was even more frustrating was that she, possessing a modern soul, had so easily lost under the lips of an ancient man? The next morning, the palace sent an etiquette training nanny to the Prince Zhenbei Mansion. Leng Yu Yan was not yet fully awake when the servants came to wake her. By the time she was dressed and arrived at the main hall, she saw a serious-looking elderly woman waiting for her with impeccable manners. “Your servant pays respect to Princess Beilan!” The old woman bowed respectfully, her etiquette flawless. “Grandmother, mother, who is this…” Leng Yu Yan looked questioningly at her grandmother and mother, who were seated in the main seats. The Old Princess Consort introduced with a smile, “This is the etiquette training nanny from the palace. She will instruct you in palace etiquette before our dear granddaughter gets married.” Leng Yu Yan nodded and said to the nanny, “Please, nanny, rise!” “Thank you, Commandery Princess!” Nanny Lu said. “You may refer to this old servant as Nanny Lu.” “Then, I shall be in Nanny Lu’s care!” Leng Yu Yan said. Nanny Lu, with deferential eyes, continued, “In these next few days, if the Commandery Princess can pass the assessment quickly, this old servant will be able to return to the palace sooner.” “We can start today,” Nanny Lu said. “If it’s convenient for the Commandery Princess, this old servant can head to your residence right now to observe your manners and teach accordingly.” Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips. “I need to return to my room for a moment. Nanny, please wait here.” Leaving behind her words, not caring whether Nanny Lu agreed, Leng Yu Yan lifted her skirts and walked out quickly. Nanny Lu frowned, “As the future Crown Princess Consort, you must not walk in the future.” Leng Yu Yan sighed, released her hands, and left the main hall with tiny, careful steps. Once out of Nanny Lu’s line of sight, she broke into a light run. Miao Zhu, who followed beside her, was clueless. “Commandery Princess, why are you running so fast?” “The Crown Prince is still in my room; I need to get him out of there.” Leng Yu Yan dared not imagine what the scene would be like if the royal tutor from the palace saw that certain someone. Soon, the master and servant returned to the courtyard. With Miao Zhu standing guard, Leng Yu Yan went back to her room first. Ye Yiheng was lazily leaning on the edge of the bed, flipping through the storybook she’d carelessly thrown there. When he saw her come back, he put the book down. “Who dares to disturb your tranquility?” “The palace sent a royal tutor, Your Highness. Please leave quickly; someone will be here soon.” Upon hearing this, Ye Yiheng slowly stood up. “All right, Yanyan, study well. This nanny can be quite troublesome, and if you fail the assessment, she’ll teach you until you get married.” Leng Yu Yan muttered, “Ah Ju grew up in the palace; she probably doesn’t need to learn anymore.” Unlike her, who still had to learn all these rules and etiquette. “That may not be the case; the nanny teaches more than just etiquette…” Ye Yiheng trailed off, changing the subject, “The nanny will probably stay in your quarters, so I won’t be able to come here these days. Don’t miss me too much.” “Who would miss you?” Leng Yu Yan’s cheeks turned uncontrollably red. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her, “You need to learn quickly, so I can come to accompany you soon.” “You’re so shameless. Who needs your company?” Leng Yu Yan pushed him away, “You’d better leave quickly.” As expected, not long after Ye Yiheng left, Nanny Lu took it upon herself to approach Leng Yu Yan. Three days passed, and Leng Yu Yan passed the assessment. Before returning to the palace, Nanny Lu exclaimed to the Old Princess Consort, “The Commandery Princess truly is a top scorer, quick to learn anything.” “These etiquette rules were already well done by the girl. With the nanny’s excellent teaching, of course she learned quickly.” As she spoke, the Old Princess Consort signaled an elderly maid to pass a red envelope to Nanny Lu. Nanny Lu stuffed the red envelope into her sleeve pocket and bid farewell with a bow to the Old Princess Consort and the Princess. At this moment, Leng Yu Yan in her own room stretched lazily; these past three days, walking with poise, sitting with poise, even eating, and the sleeping posture at bedtime had to maintain poise. Finally, after passing the exam, her bones were utterly sore. Miao Zhu stepped forward to massage her shoulders: “Commandery Princess, now that Nanny Lu is returning to the palace, should we inform the Crown Prince?” Leng Yu Yan said indifferently, “Who he is, the slightest stir and he already knows. Just watch, as soon as Nanny Lu returns to the palace, he will certainly know.” Yawning, she added, “I’m extremely tired. I’ll nap for a while.” “Alright, Commandery Princess, you haven’t slept well for three days. You should indeed get some good sleep.” Miao Zhu helped Leng Yu Yan into bed. She had just fallen asleep around 13:00, yet when she woke up, it was already in the evening. And it wasn’t Leng Yu Yan naturally waking up; rather it was Ye Jiu teasing her with a tree leaf across her face, tickling her awake. “You bad sister-in-law, why do you wake me up?” Leng Yu Yan murmured groggily. Her voice held the nasal quality of someone not yet fully awake, endearingly cute. “What did you learn these days?” Ye Jiu asked with a mysterious smile, “You seem so exhausted!” “Palace etiquette, what else?” Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes. “It’s not bedroom techniques?” Ye Jiu questioned with confusion.
