On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 253 - : Kiss Her in Public
Chapter 253 -253: Kiss Her in Public
The Emperor feigned anger as he scolded, “What sort of decorum is this?”
Eunuch Ye’s eyes flashed with insight as he respectfully bowed his head, “Your Majesty, this servant spoke out of urgency!”
“Your Majesty, if the Crown Prince and the Commandery Princess truly have feelings for each other, it would be evident in every little aspect of life. But given the shortness of time now, there’s no other way to tell except this.”
“Although it is inappropriate for them to have intimate behavior before marriage, you are the Emperor, and isn’t it all up to you, Your Majesty?”
The Emperor pointed at him with a raised hand, “You and your mouth!”
Eunuch Ye truly lived up to his reputation as a foxy old servant who had been with him for decades!
Immediately after, the Emperor looked up at the Crown Prince, “Crown Prince, you claimed that the Commandery Princess is your heart’s desire for life. If that is the case, then follow Eunuch Ye’s suggestion.”
Ye Yiheng remained composed, “Father Emperor, a woman’s reputation is of utmost importance. If your son were to have any intimate act with the Commandery Princess today and you were to break us apart tomorrow, wouldn’t that put your son in a difficult position?”
“Didn’t I say to wait until the Commandery Princess’s mother’s reputation is restored?”
“So Father Emperor does remember. Your son thought you had forgotten, which is why you intended to give the Commandery Princess to Ji Qingyu in marriage.”
Seeing the ruthless exposure, the Emperor’s face alternated between pale and flushed, “You!”
Eunuch Ye forced a smile, “Your Highness, it’s not right for you to speak of the Emperor that way. At that time, the Emperor could not see your feelings for the Commandery Princess. Now, you hesitate to show affection to her, and this servant cannot see a trace of joy. Looking at it from every angle, it seems that Your Highness does not really like the Commandery Princess, does he?”
Could it be that the Crown Prince is after the military power of Prince Zhenbei Mansion as well?
But he should be aware of his own limitations – sickly and nearly blind, what use would he have of military power if his life were not long for this world?
Beneath his eye veil, Ye Yiheng’s handsome eyes slightly narrowed, a dark glint flashing across them.
The first imperial marriage proposal disregarded his wishes. The second was the same. When he learned that the Commandery Princess was Leng Yu Yan and wanted to accept the marriage arrangement, the old man disagreed.

Now, sincerely seeking marriage, the old man made things difficult at every turn.
At this point, intimate behavior was necessary.
With this thought in mind, Ye Yiheng softly called out, “Yanyan, I…”
As soon as she heard him call her that way, Leng Yu Yan’s mind faltered for an instant. The endearing repetition of her name sounded really pleasant.
He called again, “Yanyan?”
Hearing him call her like that, Leng Yu Yan’s cheeks flushed slightly, whether feignedly shy or truly so.
For today’s performance, she had cast it all aside.
She moved a few steps closer to him, her pale white hand grasping the fabric at his side, her lips pursed as she shyly responded, “Your Highness…”
Ye Yiheng, wearing his eye veil and making an effort to play the role of a blind man, reached out gropingly and grasped her upper arm. Then he took a step forward, positioning himself face to face with her.
The woman in front of him blushed, her pink cheeks, even the tips of her ears, turning red – she was acting quite convincingly!
Under everyone’s watchful eye, his other hand caressed her face, and then his long, jade-like fingers threaded through her hair, anchoring at the base of her skull…
Eunuch Ye’s eyes widened, and he swallowed hard. To witness the supposed inept Crown Prince kissing a woman was quite a spectacle to behold for decades to come!
Leng Yu Yan’s heart hammered like a drum – although it was all just an act, this was a rather big loss!
Was she really about to casually give away her first kiss?
And to someone who was recently treated as an archenemy, no less.
Seeing Ye Yiheng’s practiced moves, Ji Qingyu called a halt.
The blind man was too eager to kiss her, and he just had to stop him.
“Uncle Emperor, the Crown Prince is a man, and men do not lose out in such matters as women do.”
“In my nephew’s opinion, it would be more indicative of their sentiments if the Commandery Princess were to kiss the Crown Prince.”
He really didn’t believe that Ah Yan would fancy the blind and sickly Crown Prince, let alone kiss him.
At that, Leng Yu Yan’s hand, still clutching Ye Yiheng’s robe, tightened.
Oh heavens, Ji Qingyu, how can you be so harmful?
To think I’ve always treated you as a friend!
The Emperor adjusted his posture on the Dragon Chair and watched the scene unfold with interest, “Qingyu makes a good point, and so does Eunuch Ye. Crown Prince, it’s up to you to handle this.”
Leng Yu Yan snuggled closer into Ye Yiheng’s embrace. Clearly, the Emperor was not fond of the Crown Prince; it seemed picking the Crown Prince as a partner was the right choice!
Even though she thought so, she was still nervous.
In her two lifetimes, other than what happened in her dreams with that someone, she was utterly inexperienced in this regard.
So inexperienced that, if he were really to kiss her, she didn’t know how to respond with him, whose eyes were covered by a veil.
What’s more fatal was that it was not just the two of them in the Imperial Study at the moment; there were also numerous wooden-stake-like palace maids and eunuchs standing around.
To kiss someone in front of so many people, she couldn’t do it!
Ye Yiheng felt the trembling of the person in his arms; clearly, she was afraid he would really kiss her.
However, at this moment, if they didn’t engage in some intimate act, Father Emperor, Ji Qingyu, and Eunuch Ye wouldn’t believe them.
With this in mind, Ye Yiheng soothingly stroked her slender back with a gentle and comforting tone. “Don’t be afraid, it’s okay.”
“Your Highness, if they don’t believe, then let it be. Let’s go back.”
Her voice, which was normally sweet and clear, sounded exceedingly pitiful and moving due to fear and anxiety.
Ye Yiheng affectionately gave her a gentle kiss on her hair, “Alright.”
His large hand grabbed her small one, interlocking their fingers naturally and smoothly.
Leng Yu Yan suddenly understood; why did he always play with her hands?
Could it be that he had known all along that the Emperor intended to grant her marriage to Ji Qingyu, was he preparing for their intimate actions today?
The Emperor sighed deeply, recalling when he was young and first together with the Empress. He, too, was like this, afraid of scaring away the woman he cherished.
He only dared to kiss her hair, hold her hand, and refrained from any further actions.
However, the course of events always turns out unexpectedly.
His relationship with the Empress…
No more, he should stop thinking about the Empress. The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince, raising an eyebrow; his son had indeed developed true feelings for Lai Ran’s daughter.
Ji Qingyu clenched his fists tightly, the tendons on the back of his hands stood out clearly, showing he was suppressing intense anger and jealousy!
This gentle and agreeable Ah Yan was something he had never seen before.
How could she endure such an embrace and intimacy in the arms of a blind man?
A surge of fury appeared in his eyes; Ah Yan, the blind man truly doesn’t deserve you!
How can he protect you for a lifetime, with only a few years left to live?
“Ah Yan, come here,” Ji Qingyu said as he extended his hand to pull Leng Yu Yan towards him.
He simply couldn’t stand the sight of the blind man holding her like that.
Leng Yu Yan’s brow twitched slightly, and she softly objected, “Commandery Prince, you and I are truly ill-suited.”
She had always regarded him as a friend, and she really had no other feelings towards him.
Moreover, the act had gone this far; how could she leave Ye Yiheng’s embrace?
Only seeing the Crown Prince kissing Princess Beilan’s hair, Eunuch Ye pursed his lips, frowning with apparent dissatisfaction.
It was too unexciting; watching them kiss would have been far more satisfying.
If he could hear the sounds between the Crown Prince and the Commandery Princess in bed, that would be even more thrilling.
Eunuch Ye smiled faintly, bowed, and said, “Emperor, the Crown Prince and the Commandery Princess seem close yet distant. I wonder if it’s that the Crown Prince cannot kiss, or if he doesn’t dare to kiss. After all, the supposed affection is false. To suddenly kiss, he surely lacks the boldness to do so.”
