On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 622: 622 Unpredictable Human Nature
Chapter 622: Chapter 622 Unpredictable Human Nature
Ye Jiu strolled over slowly and pointed at the exquisite embroidery on the wedding dress, clicking her tongue in admiration, “Sixth Brother really doesn’t mind spending money, and I wonder where he found this embroidery lady. The craft is so fine it could rival Moon Emboridery.”
Lai Jiajia leaned in for a closer look and couldn’t help clapping, “It’s so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful. All I can say is that it’s beautiful.”
On the other side, Mi Xini suddenly nudged Luo ng’er at her waist.
Luo ng’er took the hint and spoke, “Yu Yan, since Xini is too shy, it falls upon to help her ask.”
“What?” Leng Yu Yan got out of bed with Miao Zhu’s assistance.
“It’s about Xini and General Gao’s situation,” said Luo ng’er with a grin, glancing at Mi Xini.
“I asked about that. Gao Yuan he…” Leng Yu Yan didn’t know quite how to put it.
Hearing this, Mi Xini understood, and the shyness that had been on her face completely faded away.
Luo ng’er was puzzled, “Does General Gao look down on our Xini?”
“Not exactly,” Leng Yu Yan said. “Gao Yuan says that Xini is a colleague’s sister, and he wouldn’t dare harbor other intentions.”
Leng Yu Yan felt that it was better to tell the truth for everyone’s sake.
Luo ng’er looked at Mi Xini, “It must be because you haven’t interacted with him much. You’ve only t a few tis, how could he so easily take a liking to you?”
Ye Jiu didn’t mince words, “Yan’er, you tried your best to matchmake them at the ti, but alas, Gao Yuan already had a woman he liked. No matter how much you interact, how can feelings easily arise? The people from Prince Zhenbei Mansion, just like the Princely Heir, stick to their convictions and won’t easily change.”
Upon hearing this, a sense of inferiority surged up in Mi Xini.
She bowed her head, her voice barely a whisper, “General Gao is a follower of the Princely Heir, and the Princely Heir and Princess are now husband and wife. Yu Yan is Princely Heir’s own sister and is about to beco the Crown Princess Consort. Against such a backdrop, General Gao’s future is boundless. His looking down on is to be expected.”
Her words startled everyone present.
Luo ng’er frowned, “Why would you say such a thing? Yu Yan is getting married today, and as her friends, we should be happy!”
“Yes, being friends with the Commandery Princess is a blessing for , Mi Xini,” said Mi Xini, her voice trembling.
Leng Yu Yan sat down by the dressing table and shook her head gently, realizing her matchmaking had failed, and it was her fault.
Lai Jiajia understood the situation and raised her voice, “There’s not just one General Gao in the world. There are plenty of n of all sorts out there; why must you fixate on this?”
Ye Jiu ordered Mrs. Quanfu and the Nanny Xi to dress Leng Yu Yan, then spoke herself, “Today, this princess’s sister-in-law is getting married. Let’s all be rry!”
“And you, Mi Xini, stop belittling yourself,” Ye Jiu paused before adding, “Look at , chasing the Princely Heir for years, and yet today I am also married. If you like soone, go chase them; if not, let go. It’s as simple as that!”
How petty, she thought; if it weren’t for Yan’er’s wedding today, this girl would probably be in tears.
Mi Xini acknowledged without daring to object.
This Ninth Princess was arrogant and not to be lightly offended.
Luo ng’er took Mi Xini out of the bedroom, and they spoke in hushed tones in the sitting room.
Luo ng’er: “What’s the matter with you? The Commandery Princess kindly helped you, but it seems to that you’re blaming her.”
Mi Xini: “She is a First-rank Princess, and today she’s becoming the Crown Princess Consort. How could I ever bla her?”
Luo ng’er: “I don’t like hearing you talk like that. We’re all friends, having been classmates at the sa academy.”
Mi Xini: “Yes, classmates. I once thought our difference in status wasn’t large. But look now, the distance between us grows greater and greater…”
Why should Leng Yu Yan’s status beco increasingly noble, allowing her to smoothly beco the Crown Princess Consort, while she isn’t even allowed to fancy the guard by the Princely Heir’s side?
Leng Yu Yan sat in front of the mirror, with Mrs. Quanfu and the dressing nanny by her side attending to her, while Miao Zhu held her breakfast, feeding her bite by bite, and she took small nibbles.
As a martial arts practitioner, her hearing was good. The conversation outside was loud enough to reach her ears.
She had transford from being the legitimate daughter of Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion to a fatherless wild girl and then, upon finding her birth father, soared to the status of a Commandery Princess. Now, she was about to officially beco the Crown Princess Consort.
This change in status must have made so people envious.
She sighed inwardly, people are unpredictable; human nature is complex.
Just recently, they could interact as friends, but what the future held was still uncertain.
Before, Luo ng’er was overweight, so she gave her a dietary recipe. After Luo ng’er slimd down, she had been very grateful to her.
But this Mi Xini, it seed she proved the adage: gratitude for a favor can turn to resentnt over a trifle.
Ye Jiu also heard the conversation outside.
She was quite angry, but considering today was the joyous day of Leng Yu Yan and the Princely Heir’s brother, the Crown Prince, it wasn’t appropriate to lash out. Instead, she pointed at Lai Jiajia’s face and said, “You—you keep calling her ‘Lady’ while pretending to be joyful, just make sure you don’t secretly cause any trouble.”
Lai Jiajia quickly held up three fingers: “I don’t have the ti to be anything but fond of the Lady, how could I cause trouble?” As she spoke, she blad herself, “It’s all my fault. At Xinya Academy, I introduced her to the Lady. Even more, it was I who asked the Lady to help with the match-making.”
The Lady had saved her life; the day of the facial cutting, she had been fed an overdose of a sedative. Had it not been for the Lady, she wouldn’t have woken up.
This was what her parents told her after the Lady and the Crown Prince had left the villa that day.
A life-saving grace should be repaid with a spring of gratitude!
She couldn’t gush with gratitude just now, but she could at least spatter so droplets.
With this thought, Lai Jiajia lifted her skirt and stepped out of the bedroom, calling out loudly, “Hey, stop quarreling, it’s a day of celebration, don’t be such a downer!”
Hearing these words, Luo ng’er pulled Mi Xini back into the bedroom.
Leng Yu Yan’s face always bore a gentle smile. Today was her day of great joy, and the thoughts of others must not affect her mood.
At that mont, Xiaoshan ca to report, “Lady, the Crown Prince is already in the front hall. Right now, the Princely Heir and the other young masters are posing him questions as a test.”
Leng Yu Yan smiled and asked, “Has His Highness been stumped yet?”
“The Crown Prince’s brilliance surpasses all others; the Princely Heir and the young masters cannot best him,” Xiaoshan said happily, glancing at Leng Yu Yan before adding, “In about half the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, Nanny Xi and the others will co to Yanyue Residence. Lady, you must hurry with your dressing.”
Hearing this, Ye Jiu hastily ordered the ladies, Spring, Sumr, Autumn, and Winter, to assist Leng Yu Yan in neatly donning her phoenix crown and red wedding dress.
The phoenix crown of the Crown Princess Consort featured a layer of beaded curtain across the forehead. This design was ant to facilitate the day’s events, allowing her exceedingly beautiful visage to appear alluringly indistinct.
During the nuptial night, lifting the beaded curtain would have the sa significance as lifting the red veil.
No sooner had she finished dressing, Nanny Xi and her crew arrived at Yanyue Residence.
Miao Zhu quickly stuffed a crystal dumpling into Leng Yu Yan’s mouth: “Lady, eat more, you’ll be hungry later on.”
Leng Yu Yan chewed vigorously and had just swallowed when Nanny Xi and her companions entered the room.
“The Crown Princess Consort, the auspicious ti has co; you should proceed to the main hall to bid farewell to your elders,” the nannies said as they bowed.
“Good,” Leng Yu Yan nodded.
As soon as her words fell, two of Nanny Xi’s assistants supported her, one on each side, as she walked slowly from the boudoir towards the front hall.
