Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Beautiful People in Pairs Song Guo chuckled, “Who would dare to disturb Your Highness’s bridal chamber?” Leng Yu Yan nodded, indeed that was the case. Ye Yiheng’s slender, fair fingers picked up the wine cup, intertwining with her arm, “It’s time to drink the wedding wine, don’t think about anything else.” Leng Yu Yan uttered an “Oh,” and both of them lifted their heads and drank the wine together. The wine was fragrant and sweet, with a hint of refreshing crispness, delicious enough that Leng Yu Yan’s eyes sparkled brightly, making her want to drink several more cups. Newest update provıded by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 Finally, the ceremony was complete! Nanny Xi joyfully exclaimed, “The bridal chamber lit by candles, wine drunk in pairs, a beautiful couple, I wish the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort forever fly wing to wing, grow branches and flowers together, and remain inseparably united in heart!” After the congratulations, they bowed in unison, “Your Highness, Crown Princess Consort, we will now return to the palace to report.” Ye Yiheng slightly lifted his fingers as a sign allowing them to go. However, Leng Yu Yan was taken aback. When her eldest brother and Ah Ju got married, the nannies did not return until the second day. Why was it different for them… In a moment, she realized, oh, it was because of a certain someone’s condition. Tonight, there was no consummation of the marriage, so naturally, the nannies did not have to stay outside the bridal room late into the night listening by the walls. The leading Nanny Xi, carrying an empty wine cup, led the others a few steps back, then quietly exited the bridal room. After Nanny Xi and the others had gone a good distance, Leng Yu Yan grabbed Ye Yiheng’s sleeve, her voice soft and coquettish, “The wine just now was so delicious. May I drink a few more cups?” Hearing her voice so sweet and mellow, one could tell she enjoyed the wine. Ye Yiheng smiled and nodded, “Of course you may.” With that, he ordered more wine and dishes. Song Guo interjected with a smiling face, “The Crown Princess Consort might not know, this wine was specially brewed on His Highness’s orders, tailored to the Crown Princess Consort’s taste. The brewers tried more than ten different fruit wine flavors, only this one deeply captivated His Highness’s heart, and thus he chose it as the wine for our wedding night.” Leng Yu Yan, surprised, responded, “Really?” “Isn’t it?” Song Guo laughed, “Thus the poor orange wine has been left in the dust.” Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan realized, someone was jealous, jealous that she had previously drunk the Ji Family’s orange wine. His jealousy was quite strong, but it had benefited her. “Are the other fruit wine flavors still saved? I would like to try them sometime.” “They are saved, all in the wine cellar.” Song Guo’s smile was bright, his eyes narrowing happily. He was truly glad, the Crown Prince had finally married the Commandery Princess! Regrettably, the night could not be consummated. Nanny Xi left, and not even an original handkerchief had been spread on the new bed, suggesting the palace tacitly accepted this situation. At this moment, in the Eastern Palace’s wedding banquet, Fifth Prince Ye Zhenduan jokingly asked Ye Zhenxian, “Why aren’t you clamoring to disturb the bridal chamber today?” Ye Zhengmo laughed, “Ha, does it make a difference whether we disturb it or not today?” After drinking a cup of wine, he added, “Moreover, since Second Brother himself made a big joke of his own wedding night, he naturally sympathizes with Sixth Brother, and wouldn’t want Sixth Brother to make the same joke. Right, Second Brother?” Ye Zhenxian’s face alternated between red and white. Most of those attending the wedding banquet in the Eastern Palace were Imperial Relatives and members of the Tian Family. Most of them openly or covertly took sides. It was rumored that the Crown Prince would be deposed a month after his grand wedding. For other princes and family clan members, this wedding was also a joyful occasion. But for Ye Zhenxian, it was different; being castrated greatly diminished his eligibility to become the next Crown Prince. Thinking of this, Ye Zhenxian continued to drink sullenly, one cup after another, paying no heed to the jokes his brothers made about him. Moreover, Ye Yiheng, the Sixth Brother, had long forbidden anyone from disturbing his bridal chamber. If he went there now, wouldn’t he be asking for trouble? After all, they were in the Eastern Palace, all his people. Even though Ye Yiheng was intermittently blind and frail, he still remained the Crown Prince, and the people of the Eastern Palace were still his confidants. It was a pity though, as he could not see Leng Yu Yan lifting the beaded curtain. Tiancheng’s unparalleled beauty now finally had an owner. At another table, Ji Qingyu also sat drinking moodily. Ye Yuan and Ji Liancheng watched him continue to drink without trying to stop him. As parents, they naturally understood their son’s feelings. Seeing that he drank but didn’t eat, Ye Yuan finally couldn’t stand it any longer. He gently patted Ji Qingyu’s hand and softly said, “Perhaps in a few days, we can look at some noble daughters for you? It’d be good for you to settle down.” Ji Qingyu lifted his eyelids, a cold flash in his eyes. “What are you talking about, mother?” Ji Liancheng deepened his voice. “Your mother means well!” Ji Qingyu’s slender fingers played with his wine cup as he replied coolly, “I will wait.” He would wait for the day Ye Yiheng died, and then, Ah Yan would be his. These words startled both Ye Yuan and Ji Liancheng as they remembered the Imperial Physician’s diagnosis, suspecting that Ye Yiheng might not have many days left. If that was the reality, they wouldn’t mind Ah Yan becoming their daughter-in-law in the future, even though she had been married to Ye Yiheng. Ji Qingyu’s trademark smile returned to his face as he said, “A blind man covers his eyes with a veil and still needs someone to lead his horse.” If it were him, why go through such trouble? Although Ye Yiheng’s blindness was intermittent, Ji Qingyu had consulted a doctor specializing in eye diseases who said that this type of intermittent blindness only worsens over time until total blindness ensues. While the guests at the Eastern Palace wedding banquet all harbored their own thoughts, the wedding at Prince Zhenbei Mansion was bustling with excitement. Lai Taihong, along with Leng Yuqing, Lai Yuxing, and Leng Yusheng, moved from table to table toasting. The three brothers wore uniformly stern and awkward expressions, but as their grandfather commanded, they dutifully followed. “Enjoy your food and drink,” Lai Taihong raised his glass. “I still have three grandsons looking for matches, please take a look. If anyone is interested, we can arrange a meeting another day.” At these words, numerous families with daughters hastened to come forward. Prince Zhenbei, Leng Ran, was stunningly beautiful, and his children were all exceptionally good-looking. Furthermore, the males of Prince Zhenbei Mansion only took official wives and never kept concubines, a point that drew quite a crowd. In a corner, Luo Meng’er, sipping wedding wine, said to Mi Xinmei, “What’s really going on with you today?” Mi Xinmei glanced at the exceptionally handsome Leng brothers in the distance and lowered her voice, “Do you think Yu Yan actually considers us her friends?” “Yes, why would you say that?” “If she really considered us friends, why wouldn’t she introduce us to her brothers?” Mi Xinmei poked at the vegetables in her bowl, speaking softly, “Right now, I’m only getting close to a palace guard, yet she’s unwilling to help— it’s not like I’m after her brothers.” Luo Meng’er stared at her as if she didn’t know her, then after a while said, “Xinmei, that’s not the right way to think! What kind of place is Prince Zhenbei Mansion? The Princely Heir marrying Tiancheng’s most beloved princess, could his brothers possibly be within our reach?” In the Eastern Palace bedroom, in the newly furnished room. Dishes were served, spread out not far from the round table near the bed. Ye Yiheng took Leng Yu Yan by the hand to the table, “Eat more.” Leng Yu Yan gently freed her hand, took off the heavy phoenix crown on her head, and handed it to Chun Liu. Then she sat at the table, and seeing him sit down too, she asked in surprise, “Your Highness, aren’t you going to the banquet?”
