Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Personal Instruction Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan suddenly sat up and opened her eyes. “What bedroom technique? I have studied palace etiquette for three days, speaking, eating, drinking water, rinsing, walking, sleeping, and the like, how they should be done… how could you think that it’s…” Ye Jiu touched his chin with his knuckle and said with a frown, “How could it not be so? These past few days in the palace, I also have had a nanny instructing me, teaching me bedroom techniques for three days.” Leng Yu Yan guessed, “Most likely, because you have grown up in the palace since childhood, you wouldn’t need to learn this sort of palace etiquette.” After speaking, the two of them exchanged glances and read the meaning in each other’s eyes. Ye Jiu said frustratedly, “It must be because of Sixth Brother’s health that they didn’t teach you those things.” “I didn’t want to learn them either.” Leng Yu Yan lay back down, “So sleepy, I’m going to continue sleeping.” Ye Jiu muttered, “Not having learned bedroom techniques and still so sleepy, Nanny Lu is not a good one, I’ll scold her when I return to the palace.” Leng Yu Yan explained in a muffled voice, “No, they didn’t make things difficult for me, it’s just that these three days I had to sleep in an upright posture, so I didn’t sleep well.” At that moment, Miao Zhu came over and also explained, “Your Highness doesn’t know; my Commandery Princess is used to sleeping comfortably. Not getting enough sleep while keeping posture, she needs to catch up on sleep, doesn’t she?” “Fine, then you continue to sleep, I’ll go to the dining room for a meal.” Ye Jiu tucked in Leng Yu Yan’s blanket before standing up straight. Leng Yu Yan stretched a hand out of the covers and waved it slightly. Seeing this, Ye Jiu smiled charmingly and left with the palace maid. Only in the dead of night did Leng Yu Yan finally sleep her fill. Seeing her wake up, Miao Zhu hurriedly brought over some food that had been warmed several times. “Commandery Princess, please eat something. After sleeping so long, you must be famished.” “I don’t want to eat, I’m not hungry.” Having said this, Leng Yu Yan caught sight from the corner of her eye of a tall figure standing by the window. Ye Yiheng said with a frosty voice, “Would you like me to feed you?” Miao Zhu put the food on a table not far from the bed and then tactfully left. “No need, I can eat by myself.” Leng Yu Yan got out of bed and obediently sat down at the table. Ye Yiheng sat down opposite her, watched her sit upright and look well-behaved, and couldn’t help asking, “What have you learned?” “I’ve learned not to talk at meals, and to remain silent in bed.” Leng Yu Yan picked up her chopsticks and slowly started eating her rice. Ye Yiheng smiled indulgently, “You don’t have to follow the rules in front of me.” Leng Yu Yan finally couldn’t resist complaining, “These past three days, every night I’ve slept so stiffly.” She mimicked the action with her hand, “The nanny slept on a mat on the ground, and if I made the slightest noise, she would scold me.” “They also said to eat in small bites, to chew slowly, and that a woman should be only seventy percent full.” “And also, also, she said a woman shouldn’t sleep in late, and a woman shouldn’t practice with swords…” Leng Yu Yan went on and on, expressing a great deal, and finally concluded, “Your Highness, marrying into the Tian Family is really no task for a human being!” Listening, Ye Yiheng frowned, “You don’t want to marry me?” Leng Yu Yan sighed, “If I didn’t want to marry, I wouldn’t bother learning.” His voice was gentle, “Just be yourself, from now on in the Eastern Palace, do whatever makes you comfortable, no one will manage you.” “Thank you, Your Highness!” Leng Yu Yan fiercely ate a piece of braised pork, lips shining with a glossy layer. He casually took her handkerchief and dabbed the corner of her lips, “Apart from palace etiquette, what else did you learn?” “There’s nothing else.” Leng Yu Yan shook her head, then looked up at him, “You asked the same question as Ah Ju, but what Ah Ju learned, Nanny Lu didn’t teach me.” Ye Yiheng’s expression was aloof, his voice smooth, “It doesn’t matter.” He didn’t want others to teach her either, even the nanny. He was destined to grow up with her. Only, this girl was quite slow when it came to kissing, it seemed he would have to teach her himself in the future. During lunch, Li Yuyue hurried back to the mansion. The family looked at him in surprise. The Old Princess Consort said, “Didn’t you say you would have lunch at the military camp this morning?” As she spoke, the Old Princess Consort ordered the servants to bring bowls and chopsticks. “Grandmother, your grandson has urgent matters.” Li Yuyue took his seat and turned to Leng Yu Yan, “I’ve received news that Yu Haoqiong wishes to return to Beiliang.” Leng Yu Yan’s brows furrowed, “Where did this news come from?” If Yu Haoqiong and Ye Shi went back to Beiliang, how would they pursue the matter of Ye Jiu breaking his leg, and the Beiliang people cheating in the Imperial Examination? Li Yuyue picked up his chopsticks and said, “My men have been secretly observing Yu Haoqiong, and this morning he went to Prince Xian Mansion and mentioned leaving.” “Big brother, take your time eating. I’ll make a trip to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince must have a way to detain him.” Leng Yu Yan put down her bowl and chopsticks and informed the family before leaving the mansion. When she arrived at the Eastern Palace, Ye Yiheng was inspecting the Dragon and Phoenix wedding robe delivered by Huayang Hall. Song Guo hurriedly said, “Your Highness, the Commandery Princess is here, and she has already reached the lakeside.” Ye Yiheng quickly ordered the Dragon and Phoenix wedding robe to be put away and then left his bedroom. Seeing him, Leng Yu Yan quickened her pace. “Your Highness, there is an urgent matter!” “Speak slowly,” he approached her. Leng Yu Yan didn’t slow her step. In fact, she quickened it, and when she reached him, she tiptoed and whispered in his ear, “Yu Haoqiong wishes to return to Beiliang, please detain him, Your Highness.” “When did you receive this news?” “I found out this morning, by the time big brother knew and came back to report, it was already noon.” “Don’t worry,” Ye Yiheng said, “I’ll make a trip to the Imperial Palace.” Ye Yiheng looked at her intently, after a long moment he said, “Very well.” Thus, the two of them went to the Imperial Palace together. Indeed, by the time they arrived at the Imperial Study, Yu Haoqiong was bidding farewell to the Emperor with Ye Shi. “Emperor, I have been in Tiancheng for a long time, now that Ying Lei and Prince Xian are harmonious in their marriage, this alliance has become a fine tale, it is time for me to return to Beiliang,” Yu Haoqiong bowed with a clasped fist. Ye Shi also curtsied, “Father King, your son is overjoyed to see that Father Emperor has not aged a bit and remains in his prime. When we part, I do not know when I will have the opportunity to see Father Emperor again. Although I do not wish to leave Father Emperor’s side, as the Princess Tiancheng, I believe I have a duty to uphold the relationship between Tiancheng and Beiliang, thus I must depart.” The words were noble and majestic, particularly the first part, which greatly pleased the Emperor. “The intention was for you all to stay for the weddings of Ah Ju and Ah Heng before departing, but since you are determined to leave, I cannot well stand in your way.” Yu Haoqiong said, “Indeed, if we attend these two weddings, by the time the Tenth Princess and I set out, the weather will become hotter and the journey will become more difficult, it really is a helpless situation.” Ye Yiheng, wearing an eye veil and supported by Leng Yu Yan, stepped forward. “Father Emperor, your son has something to say.” The Emperor raised his hand, “Speak.” “Ah Shi and Ah Ju were born within days of each other and have been deeply fond of each other since childhood. Now, Ah Ju’s wedding with the Heir Lai is approaching, and surely Ah Shi would very much like to attend,” Ye Yiheng asked lightly, “What do you think, Ah Shi?” Ye Shi didn’t know what Ye Yiheng intended but played along due to his mention of their sisterly affection, “What the Crown Prince Sixth Brother said is true, Ninth Sister and I have been extremely close since we were young.” Ye Yiheng’s eyes flickered as he addressed the Emperor, “In that case, I ask Father Emperor to allow Ah Shi and the Seventh Prince of Beilan to stay a few more days, to attend Ah Ju’s wedding before departing. There’s no harm in a slight delay.”
