Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Bite Harder Zheng Liqi had not expected to be overshadowed by Leng Yu Yan at every turn on her wedding day. Usually, during a wedding, even if the bride is not beautiful, guests would shower her with compliments or auspicious phrases. But at this moment, although there were compliments, most were directed toward Ye Zhenyu. Zheng Liqi maintained an appropriate smile on her face, but inwardly, she blamed all her displeasure from the day on Leng Yu Yan. To be more beautiful than her was a sin! Leng Yu Yan was personally packing the dried peach slices and peach jerky that had been prepared, filling two large glass jars, and then wrapping the rest in parchment paper. She saw Xiaoshan passing by out of the corner of her eye and called out to him, “Come here.” Xiaoshan stuffed the seashell he’d been fiddling with into his belt and hurried over, “Does the Commandery Princess need help?” Leng Yu Yan handed him one of the parchment packages, “This is for you to eat.” Xiaoshan accepted it with both hands, happily saying, “Thank you, Commandery Princess!” Leng Yu Yan smiled faintly, “Don’t hesitate to eat it, we still have plenty of peaches that can be dried again when they ripen.” “Yes!” Xiaoshan opened the package on the spot, ate a piece, and then carefully wrapped it up again. Taking advantage of Ye Yiheng’s absence and having only her own people around her, Leng Yu Yan lowered her voice, “I’ve given Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter a few tasks. If you have time, help them out, think of it as training.” “I understand!” Xiaoshan asked, “May I know what the tasks are?” Suddenly hearing footsteps approaching, Leng Yu Yan raised a finger to her lips and quickly said, “It’s getting late, go have your meal.” Xiaoshan nodded and withdrew. Ye Yiheng, accompanied by Mo Chen, Ruofeng, and Song Guo, entered the bedroom and saw Leng Yu Yan busy at the table. All four stood before her. Leng Yu Yan handed over two parchment packages, one to Mo Chen and one to Ruofeng. Both, pleasantly surprised, accepted and gave their thanks. She then handed one to Song Guo, who, in disbelief, pointed to herself and asked, “Do I also get one?” “I do, I do, of course, I do.” Song Guo quickly took the package, expressing her joy, “Thank you, Crown Princess Consort!” Ye Yiheng’s slender, jade-like fingers tapped on the table, his thin lips parting slightly, “What about mine?” “How could I forget Your Highness?” Leng Yu Yan glanced at him. Caught off guard by his slightly upturned thin lips, her heart uncontrollably quickened its pace. She could not bear to look at his hands today, and even less at his mouth. Embarrassed, she lowered her eyes to hide her bashfulness, feeling a strange pressure in her chest, and pressed her hand against her heart, “It’s a bit stuffy. May I have some fruit wine, Your Highness? You can have those two jars of peach flesh, would that be all right?” The rıghtful source is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩 She was setting terms with him. Ye Yiheng gestured to Song Guo, “Fetch the fruit wine.” Song Guo joyfully complied, tucking the parchment package into her bosom before heading to the storeroom. Leng Yu Yan also gave each of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter a package of dried peaches. They happily accepted and ordered the meal to be laid out. While Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter handled the meal, Leng Yu Yan personally took a glass jar to the room, but Ye Yiheng grabbed the rim with one hand and took the remaining jar into the room. “What brings Your Highness following me?” Leng Yu Yan placed the glass jar on the antique shelf, giving him an annoyed glance. Ye Yiheng set the jar next to hers and said with a gentle smile, “I wanted to tell the Crown Princess Consort that the peaches today were delicious.” “I said they taste best after being dried for three days.” Mid-sentence, Leng Yu Yan suddenly felt something was wrong. These dried peaches hadn’t been tasted by him yet, so she asked, “Is Your Highness talking about the peaches, or the dried ones?” Ye Yiheng looked at her leisurely, his voice low and murky, “Not the dried ones.” “If not the dried ones, then it must be fresh peaches.” Leng Yu Yan was puzzled. “Did Your Highness order someone to pick peaches to eat today?” Ye Yiheng smiled and shook his head, “No.” At that, she was even more confused. They hadn’t picked peaches in the last few days, nor had they ordered anyone to do so. And the servants of the Eastern Palace would not dare to touch the peaches on the trees without permission. “Where did Your Highness eat the peach?” Leng Yu Yan couldn’t believe he actually told her outright about finding a delicious peach. How delicious must it have been? Ye Yiheng suddenly leaned close to her and whispered two words into her ear, “Storage room.” His voice was warm and the smile in it was wicked. Leng Yu Yan finally caught on, and her heartbeat suddenly grew heavier. Unfortunately, his breath was still lingering in her ear, tickling her uncomfortably. “Ye Yiheng, you’re a rogue!” She pushed him forcefully, ran, and flung herself onto the bed, wanting to cry but the tears wouldn’t come. Ye Yiheng walked over leisurely and sat on the edge of the bed, gently patting her back, “What’s wrong?” As he spoke, his eyes and brows were full of laughter, and the happiness in his eyes almost overflowed. “Feigning ignorance!” Leng Yu Yan twisted her body, “Playboy, don’t touch me!” Seeing her at the peak of embarrassment, Ye Yiheng was in such a good mood he felt bubbles might pop out. He couldn’t contain his joy. He felt like he must be crazy, just loving to see her various intense reactions. Whether she cried, laughed, or blushed, he enjoyed watching it all. He just wondered how much more she would blush if he were to have his way with her. Leng Yu Yan was both angry and annoyed; she propped herself up on her hands, grabbed onto his shoulder, and bit down on his neck. She wanted to bite hard, venting all her embarrassment in this bite! Ye Yiheng grabbed her waist and fell back with her in one smooth motion. Leng Yu Yan ended up lying on top of him, hitting her nose against his chin, and suddenly felt a sourness, angering her into biting down again. “Bite harder,” the man laughed with delight. As he said that, she defiantly stopped biting instead, not letting him have his way, and she threateningly ground her teeth a little. Just then, Song Guo brought in fruit wines of various flavors, holding them with both hands; as she stepped into the bedroom, she spotted the two of them, one on top of the other. “Your Highnesses…” Song Guo quickly backed away. Hearing that, Leng Yu Yan wanted to get up, but being held at the waist by him, she just couldn’t rise and instead twisted her head to call out towards the door, “Song Guo, it’s not what you think.” As if Song Guo would believe that, she said with a laugh, “I didn’t see anything, I’ll quickly make myself scarce, please continue, Your Highnesses!” This was great news indeed! The Crown Prince and his consort were getting along like honey, and the Eastern Palace would soon have a little master! Following behind, Miao Zhu murmured inquiringly, “What didn’t she see?” While she spoke, she couldn’t help but peek into the bedroom. Good gracious, how had the Commandery Princess managed to topple the Crown Prince onto the bed? They hadn’t even had dinner yet; when did the Commandery Princess become so eager? Seeing Miao Zhu foolishly standing at the doorway, Song Guo couldn’t stand it, but since her hands were full with the fruit wines, she couldn’t grab her and had to kick with her foot instead, “Hey, aren’t you going to leave?” “Oh.” Miao Zhu came to her senses and left quietly with Song Guo. Once they were in the dining hall, with the meal ready and the servants Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter having left, Miao Zhu asked Song Guo in a low voice, “Hey, what does kissing feel like?” Song Guo smacked her lips, “Sweet, I guess?” “Hmph, why would I ask you? You’re a eunuch,” Miao Zhu muttered. Song Guo slammed the fruit wine onto the table, annoyed, “So what if I am? Eunuchs can kiss too!”
