On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness Chapter 838: Don’t Be Nervous

"Eat up." Leng Yu Yan took small sips of porridge, "You’re not going to Xinya Academy anymore?"

"Nope." Lai Jiajia said with her mouth full, sowhat indistinctly, "Mom and Dad said I’m old enough now and don’t need to go to school anymore; I should find a husband. Besides, ng’er and Xini stopped going long ago, and I don’t have any other close friends at the academy, so I’m not going back."

Lai Jiajia swallowed the food in her mouth and added, "Actually, I know Mom and Dad are afraid Lai Manting might try to kidnap again, and I’m not that young anymore."

Leng Yu Yan chuckled, "You want to get married then?"

Lai Jiajia nodded honestly, "Xini is getting married at the end of the month, just a few days left. She’s marrying a poor family’s son, looks decent, an honest and diligent one, I think a good match for Xini. Rumor has it ng’er has found soone she likes, and she even had a big argunt with her family over it."

"An argunt?"

"Yes, ng’er refused all the suitors her parents introduced, which made her parents furious. They demanded to know who she liked, but she couldn’t say, so her parents grounded her." Lai Jiajia picked up her chopsticks again, "Anyway, they all have soone now. Sis and the Crown Prince got along so well, I just wish I could find my perfect match too."

As she spoke, a rare shyness appeared on her face.

"You will find one." Leng Yu Yan nodded, and then couldn’t help but ask, "What kind of person are you looking for?"

Lai Jiajia’s chopsticks didn’t stop, nor did her mouth: "I’m not picky, just soone who can let eat delicious food often."

Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but smile, suddenly thinking of soone who had bought down several restaurants in the capital city.

This person was certainly not lacking in good food around him, but unfortunately, she had broken off her friendship with him long ago, otherwise, he might’ve been suitable for Jiajia.

But soon she shook her head to herself, just having good food doesn’t an much.

That man’s character was bad; he lingered among flowers and once tried to abduct her with ill intentions. Such a person was not good enough for Jiajia!

"By the way, sis, actually I ca today because my mom sent . Our family harvested a lot of string beans and peanuts, she told to bring so over, they’re already in the kitchen. My mom said what grows on the farm is better than what’s bought outside. Anything you want to eat, she’ll grow for you."

"Alright, thank Auntie for !" Leng Yu Yan smiled sweetly, "Stay here at the Eastern Palace for lunch before leaving, the lotus root starch is almost dried, you can take a portion with you."

Lai Jiajia didn’t object, nodding her head: "Then I’ll leave after lunch. The food here is delicious, I need to eat more."

"Eat as much as you want!"

--

In the afternoon, Leng Yu Yan ordered people to pack a full jar of lotus root starch, sealing it up and giving it to Lai Jiajia.

"Everyone at ho can have so, it’s good for the stomach."

"I know." Lai Jiajia hugged the jar, laughing happily, "Sis, let tell you, Lai Xuan that kid said he doesn’t crave sweets, but actually he’s more of a foodie than I am. The day I got back, he said he wanted to have a bowl of lotus root starch every night after practicing martial arts."

Leng Yu Yan shook her head with a smile.

The two sisters talked about personal matters for a while longer, and soon Lai Jiajia said she had to go back.

Leng Yu Yan personally saw her off to the Eastern Palace gate, then returned to her bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, she pondered what nightwear to put on tonight.

Thinking over and over, it seed too condescending of her, so she stopped thinking about it and went to the outer room to personally pack the dried peaches and lotus root starch that had been in the sun.

There were many people in the Eastern Palace, especially the Dark Guard Bureau, who helped a lot with making the lotus root starch, so they all deserved a share.

The other eunuchs and palace maids also got a proper share, which ended up being quite a lot to pack.

After she finished everything, an hour and a half had passed.

During this hour and a half, that certain soone didn’t co to the bedroom; was he busy today too?

Rembering he was busy late into the night last night and likely busy again today, Leng Yu Yan didn’t think much about it, arranging the neatly packed lotus root starch and peach jars into a basket.

"Chun Xia, Qiu, and Dong, take the lotus root starch to the Dark Guard Bureau, also bring so peaches." She glanced sideways, "Song Guo and Miao Zhu, you two distribute the remaining small packages of lotus root starch and peaches to the eunuchs and palace maids; as long as they want it, give it to them."

Everyone acknowledged, then carried the baskets of lotus root starch and peaches, and walked out of the bedroom one after another.

Looking at the few large jars of lotus root starch and peaches left on the table, she couldn’t help but think that if it was because Lai Jiajia was in the Eastern Palace in the morning, and he didn’t send soone to arrange the bedroom, it was understandable.

But since Lai Jiajia had left by now, how co he hadn’t sent anyone to arrange anything?

Did he forget about tonight’s plans?

Gazing out of the bedroom, today at the Eastern Palace seed very normal.

As normal as any other day.

She took a deep breath, if he truly forgot, that’s fine too.

Or maybe she was too hasty, perhaps at dusk, he would have soone arrange it.

But, until dinner, Ye Yiheng hadn’t brought it up.

Seeing him as calm as ever, Leng Yu Yan suddenly felt a sense of relief, she was almost sure he forgot their previous agreent.

Why he forgot, she didn’t know.

But she knew he was very busy, perhaps that’s why.

Anyways, the matter of the wedding night could wait, no rush at all.

If he wasn’t in a hurry, she was even less so.

After dinner, Leng Yu Yan rinsed her mouth, then asked casually, "Your Highness, were you busy again today?"

Ye Yiheng nodded, "The old man sent another chest of petitions over."

"Oh." She replied, "The lotus root starch is ready, does Your Highness want to try so?"

"I have to go to the study, maybe later."

"Alright then, you go ahead and be busy, Your Highness."

As she spoke, she blinked cheerfully.

Seeing she was eager for him to get back to work, Ye Yiheng thought to himself not to worry her, but didn’t let it show on his face.

"If you’re bored, you can co to the study and keep company."

Leng Yu Yan shook her head, smiling playfully, "I’m not bored."

Accompany him in the study, now that would be dull.

Either way, all her nervousness had dissipated; him being busy today ant there would be no ti for that certain sothing.

It’s not that she wasn’t willing, but rather she was nervous.

And now she felt completely at ease.

How should one describe this feeling?

Like when in a university physical education class, the teacher scheduled a three-thousand-ter test, but then at the last mont, the teacher had to attend a eting with the education committee, so the test got postponed!

That’s the kind of sudden relaxation!

Watching Ye Yiheng’s footsteps leave the bedroom, Leng Yu Yan all but humd a little tune as she returned to her room.

Not having had a bath for several days, even if nothing happened tonight, she had to treat herself to a nice soak for a couple of quarters in the bath.

Just as she closed her eyes, leisurely reclining in the bath, feeling all relaxed and content...

Ye Yiheng ordered Song Guo and the eunuchs to bring the wedding night decorations from the storeroom, and then ordered Chun Xia, Qiu, and Dong to arrange them.

"Be gentle, don’t disturb the Crown Princess Consort!"

Chun Xia, Qiu, and Dong nodded, their hands moving swiftly.

Song Guo pondered, what if so uninvited intruder barged into the Eastern Palace and ruined the master and mistress’s plans...

With this in mind, he led the eunuchs out of the room, giving stern orders: "Stand guard outside the bedroom, no unauthorized personnel can enter tonight!"

The eunuchs responded affirmatively.

Chun Xia, Qiu, and Dong quickly set up a festive new room.

Just then, Leng Yu Yan, having finished her bath, stepped into the bedroom, and the sight before her left her stunned on the spot.
