Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Is the Heart Pleased? “Is this a jest?” Leng Yu Yan lowered her eyelids, her brush continuing to move, “A wedding isn’t child’s play, can you still sneak a vow?” “How can we not?” Ye Yiheng’s lips curved into a slight smile, “After the wedding, it’s all about living day by day.” At this moment, Song Guo sang playfully, “Playing house, he plays the father, she plays the mother, life is bright and spirited…” Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but laugh, “Song Guo, what tune and lyrics are those?” After speaking, she suddenly realized something. Her elder brother and Ah Ju were getting married today, a day that signified many blessings and many children. Could it be that someone else, heartbroken, also wished to get married today? Thinking of this, she lifted her gaze and looked towards him. However, he was wearing an eye veil, and she could not see his eyes. Ye Yiheng, on the other hand, saw her clearly, noticing the worry and concern on her face, so he spoke up, “Let’s talk tonight.” He placed a small dish filled with glue on the table, pointing to the various sized gift boxes, “Are all these for Ah Ju?” He asked again, “Why wrap them in red paper?” Unlike him, who simply gave a silver note directly, much more straightforward. For others, even his own sisters, he couldn’t be bothered to speculate their preferences. But this woman before him somehow made him repeatedly guess what she truly liked and whether or not she liked him. “Red is festive, and then there’s the ceremony feel of unwrapping gifts.” The moment Leng Yu Yan finished speaking, Miao Zhu came to report, “Commandery Princess, your friends have arrived!” Lai Jiajia, Mi Xinmei, and Luo Meng’er entered the yard laughing. Upon seeing Ye Yiheng, all three quickly knelt to pay their respects, “We pay our respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince!” Ye Yiheng lightly said, “Rise.” Then, he spoke to Leng Yu Yan and left Yanyue Residence with Song Guo’s support. He had just stepped out of the yard when he heard Leng Yu Yan’s very joyful laughter, “You’re finally here!” Ye Yiheng sighed, his hand gripping Song Guo’s arm tightly in a surge of emotion—she wasn’t even this happy to see him. Song Guo, cautious, asked, “Your Highness, are you jealous?” Ye Yiheng withdrew his hand, but didn’t respond. Song Guo offered his arm, whispering, “Your Highness, today’s Prince Mansion is not like before, with many guests and eyes around. You’d better lean on my arm.” Ye Yiheng reluctantly placed his hand back on Song Guo’s arm again. Inside Yanyue Residence, Lai Jiajia happily snuggled next to Leng Yu Yan, “Dear sister, I’ve been wanting to come, but I’m still at Xinya Academy. Not like Xinmei and Meng’er, who don’t have to go to the academy this year.” Luo Meng’er quickly explained, “My family has been arranging matches for me every other day, I really couldn’t get out. Luckily, your invitation came, and today is the Princely Heir’s big wedding, so I came to have a cup of celebratory wine.” Everyone looked towards Mi Xinmei. Mi Xinmei looked back at them, “Why are you all staring at me like that?” she asked, her face coloring slightly. Lai Jiajia pointed at her face, “Come on, tell us, are you hiding something from us?” Mi Xinmei lowered her gaze, “Now that big brother is following the Princely Heir, those who used to bully our family now nod or bow when they see my brother.” “We know that part, talk about something else,” Luo Meng’er said with a gleaming smile. Lai Jiajia elbow-nudged Mi Xinmei’s waist even harder: “Tell the truth, why are you blushing?” Mi Xinmei twirled her handkerchief stubbornly, refusing to speak. Suddenly, a male voice came from the entrance of the courtyard: “Commandery Princess, the Princely Heir said you have some gifts that need to be moved to the bridal chamber.” Everyone in the courtyard looked towards the entrance, only to see several palace guards standing there, each appearing dashing and elegant. The leader was particularly outstanding with his tall and slender figure, handsome demeanor, and the air of a Northern Garrison military general. Leng Yu Yan slapped her forehead and said brightly, “Gao Yuan, wait a moment; I’ll be done soon.” Gao Yuan nodded: “Sure, take your time, Commandery Princess.” Leng Yu Yan returned to her side of the stone table and focused on neatly pasting the remaining red papers. Unlike Leng Yu Yan, who was focused on her task, Lai Jiajia and Luo Meng’er kept their eyes on the palace guards and also scrutinized Mi Xinmei’s expressions closely. “Everything is on the table, be careful when you lift!” Leng Yu Yan waved her hand, signaling Gao Yuan and the others to start moving. They moved swiftly and carefully, and soon left Yanyue Residence. Lai Jiajia suddenly exclaimed, “Xinmei, why is your face even redder now?” Hearing Lai Jiajia’s remark, Leng Yu Yan also noticed the shy flush on Mi Xinmei’s face. Luo Meng’er’s eyes sparkled as she laughed, “I just saw her sneaking glances at that guard called Gao Yuan; she wants to look but dares not to, it was rather anxious to watch. A palace guard for our Miss Mi is quite suitable.” However, Mi Xinmei answered seriously, “He’s no ordinary palace guard; he is General Gao, the Princely Heir’s Vanguard General.” Lai Jiajia’s mouth dropped open wide as if she could easily fit an egg in it, and after a long moment, she finally said, “To know so much, could it be that you’ve fallen for General Gao?” Upon hearing this, Mi Xinmei’s face instantly turned beet red, including her neck and ears. “Oh, look at me,” Leng Yu Yan guessed with a chuckle, “Gao Yuan and Brother Mi work together; hence, it’s reasonable for Gao Yuan to frequently visit the Mi Family.” Mi Xinrong had previously worked under Gao Yuan, and due to outstanding performance, was promoted by Li Yuyue; now, Mi Xinrong and Gao Yuan had become Li Yuyue’s right-hand men. “Is that so?” surrounded by Lai Jiajia and Luo Meng’er, Mi Xinmei was pressured to tell the truth. With no choice left, Mi Xinmei finally nodded in acknowledgment: “It’s indeed as the Commandery Princess said, but I’ve never spoken to him; please don’t spread rumors.” Lai Jiajia clung to Leng Yu Yan’s arm: “Good sister, can you help mediate?” Leng Yu Yan complied: “I’ll ask when there’s a chance.” Suddenly, Lai Jiajia flopped onto the stone bench and pointed at them one by one: “Lady will be married to the Crown Prince at the beginning of next month. Meng’er has proposed several matches, Xinmei has found a man she likes, but here I am, utterly single. Not only do I have to study hard at the academy, but no man seems to like me; that’s the most pitiful thing!” Leng Yu Yan covered her mouth and giggled: “You are a year younger than us; there’s no rush.” “I also want to get married!” Lai Jiajia grumbled, “You know the current chaos at Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion; that old lady at home is incessantly nagging and conspiring with my uncle about something, definitely nothing good.” Lai Jiajia sighed heavily: “What worries my parents the most now are the marital affairs of me and my brother. With such relatives, seeking a good match is extremely difficult.” Leng Yu Yan sat next to her and patted her arm: “Trust me, your worries will all vanish soon.” Her own marriage to the Crown Prince was imminent; if her guess was correct, Old Lady Lai and Lai Zong Fa must be scheming something. Whatever their plots and intrigues were, she was prepared to counter them all and dissolve them into nothing. Although she had never thought about getting married before, now that someone was trying to interfere, she was starting to look forward to marrying someone. A once-in-a-lifetime wedding, she would never allow any demons or monsters to spoil it.
