Chapter 611: Chapter 611: Knowing Her Size Seeing Leng Yu Yan appear lost in thought, Ye Jiu asked in a soft voice, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like the wedding dress sent from the palace?” Leng Yu Yan shook her head. Ye Jiu continued, “The palace wedding dresses are just mediocre. The one I wore last time was prepared by your eldest brother. Didn’t your Sixth Brother prepare one for you?” “The Crown Prince had prepared one for me. It arrived earlier today, before the one from the palace.” “That’s good then, Sixth Brother is quite considerate,” Ye Jiu sighed. “But nobody’s perfect, and that one flaw of his is indeed a fact.” Leng Yu Yan lowered her gaze and said in a low voice, “Actually, I think it’s quite good.” At these words, Ye Jiu suddenly raised her voice, “What did you say?” Leng Yu Yan quickly covered her mouth, “Keep your voice down!” “Explain yourself clearly to me!” Ye Jiu pried off the hand covering her lips and pulled her inside the room, “What do you mean ‘quite good’?” Once they were in the inner room, Ye Jiu frowned, “Yan’er, you need to make it clear!” Leng Yu Yan honestly said, “I don’t want to do that sort of thing, and since your Sixth Brother can’t, I think it’s quite good.” “What?” Ye Jiu became anxious and started pacing in the room. “Why? How could you think like that?” But then she felt weak in her waist and legs and hadn’t walked two steps before she pulled Leng Yu Yan to sit down with her. Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips, “Everyone thinks differently.” Ye Jiu furrowed her brows, “Have my conditions these past few days affected you?” She thought it pure innocence on the sister’s part. Didn’t she know that such things could be quite pleasant? Oh, right, of course. She hadn’t yet married off, so how would she know? Ye Jiu’s mind raced, uncertain about how to comfort the beauty before her. “No, no.” Leng Yu Yan waved her hand and spoke slowly, “My situation with the Crown Prince complements each other perfectly, so after marriage, we will live in peace.” Realization dawned on Ye Jiu and she nodded repeatedly, “Those who clamored to marry my Sixth Brother, like Zheng Liqi, were completely smitten by Sixth Brother’s looks, whereas originally most noble ladies were unwilling to marry mainly because of Sixth Brother’s hidden ailment.” She had never imagined that Leng Yu Yan in front of her would agree to marry for that reason. “So to speak, this marriage isn’t troubling you, is it?” Ye Jiu asked cautiously. Leng Yu Yan nodded, “Right, he treats me quite well. If I must choose a husband to accompany me for life, he is an excellent choice.” “Didn’t you ever consider before, finding a suitable man to marry?” Ye Jiu pressed on, adding quickly, “I am your sister-in-law; I’m your own family. Whatever we discuss today, Sixth Brother won’t know.” Looking at the stunningly beautiful Leng Yu Yan before her, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but feel a bit heartbroken. Such a delicate person marrying Sixth Brother, who isn’t functional in that way, seemed utterly inhumane! Leng Yu Yan shook her head, “I never thought about it. I once thought about living alone forever. But then I found my family, and that idea disappeared.” Ye Jiu took her hands seriously and asked, “Yan’er, look into my eyes and tell me truthfully, do you like my Sixth Brother?” Leng Yu Yan stared into her eyes for a long while, then slowly blinked, recalling fuzzy memories of a previous life and the entanglements between them in this one. Did she really like him? She probably liked him? She couldn’t be sure. But to say she didn’t like him… “I can only tell you, I don’t dislike him.” Ye Jiu smiled, “You must have fallen for him and don’t even realize it.” Suddenly, several male voices came from outside the room. Recognizing Gao Yuan’s among them, Leng Yu Yan thought of Mi Xinmei and hurriedly pulled Ye Jiu out of the back room. When Ye Jiu saw Li Yuyue, she smiled tenderly, “Husband, have you returned from the military camp? Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?” Li Yuyue wasn’t hungry, but seeing Ye Jiu, who had become so gentle in the past few days, he said as he entered the room, “I am rather hungry.” “Good, then husband, please sit,” Ye Jiu instructed her servants to bring some refreshments. Outside the room, Leng Yu Yan fixed her gaze upon Gao Yuan, causing his handsome face to flush red. “Why does the Commandery Princess look at her subordinate in such a manner?” Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Yan’er’s sister professed unwillingness to do such things, yet privately she fancied Gao Yuan? Leng Yu Yan asked with a giggle, “Gao Yuan, what if I introduced you to a young lady, how would that be?” Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu paused in the middle of pouring tea for Li Yuyue, spilling quite a bit of it. Li Yuyue brushed the tea that had poured onto the table onto the floor, “What’s distracting you so?” Ye Jiu raised her index finger to her lips, signaling for silence, and strained her ears to listen to the conversation between Leng Yu Yan and Gao Yuan outside. Gao Yuan’s face turned even redder, “Commandery Princess, do not jest with your subordinate!” “I have a good friend named Mi Xinmei, I believe you’ve seen her a few times, what do you think of her?” Leng Yu Yan asked with a smile. Ye Jiu inside the room let out a long sigh of relief, she had mistaken the situation. The color returned to Gao Yuan’s face as he replied respectfully with a bow, “Commandery Princess, Miss Mi is Mi Xinrong’s younger sister, your subordinate dares not harbor inappropriate thoughts!” His certainty didn’t seem like a lie. Leng Yu Yan sighed, “What a pity.” If Mi Xinmei knew, who knows how heartbroken she would be? Then, thinking how rare it was for her to play matchmaker, she said, “So, do you think there could be a possibility between you two?” Gao Yuan waved his hands repeatedly, “No, no, absolutely no possibility.” “Really?” Leng Yu Yan was somewhat skeptical, so she pressed, “How can you know without trying?” Gao Yuan coughed, his face reddening once again, “Commandery Princess, to be honest with you, I already have someone in mind.” “Ah?” exclaimed Leng Yu Yan, “Who?” Gao Yuan bashfully said, “Liu Yun, the Crown Prince’s attendant, could you introduce her to me?” “When did you take a liking to her?” “It’s a long story, your subordinate can’t explain in a few words.” “Alright then,” Leng Yu Yan was troubled. Today her matchmaking for Mi Xinmei failed, and instead Gao Yuan was asking for her help to bring together Liu Yun and himself. That night, the night was like water, the moonlight like silk. Leng Yu Yan, while soaking in a petal bath, pondered over how to handle the relationships among Gao Yuan, Mi Xinmei, and Liu Yun. The more she thought, the less she knew what to do. She stood up, dried off her body, and decided to try on the wedding dress that someone had prepared for her in the bedroom. Hearing that the Commandery Princess was going to try on her wedding dress, Miao Zhu busied herself with Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The wedding was set for the second day of the fifth lunar month; though it was not yet too hot, it was quite warm. The wedding dress was layered from the inside out with many layers, and just like Ye Jiu said, Ye Yiheng was considerate. The dress was made with breathable fabric, and even though it looked intricate and heavy, it didn’t feel heavy on the body at all. With the help of five maids, Leng Yu Yan was finally dressed in her wedding gown. “This wedding dress seems tailored specifically for the Commandery Princess!” praised Miao Zhu. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter all nodded in agreement. Xia Tao pointed out, “Exactly! The waist, the bust, they all fit perfectly!” Just then, a person leaped in through the window. Seeing that the Crown Prince had arrived, the five maids tactfully left the bedroom. Ye Yiheng suddenly spoke, “How is it, does it fit?” Leng Yu Yan spread her arms and turned in a circle in front of him, her tone lively, “It fits, Your Highness. How did you manage to know my measurements?”
