Chapter 884: Chapter 884: Attempting a Comeback

Ye Yiheng couldn’t help but smile with a nod, "Impressive, impressive."

"Why do I sense another meaning in Your Highness’s words?"

Leng Yu Yan inserted the golden hairpin back into her hair and sat beside him.

"With Yanyan by my side, my sense of security is complete, how could there be any other meaning?"

"Does Your Highness think I’m too armed?" She asked herself and answered, "I’ll tell you, it’s not too much; the villain’s heart is treacherous to an unimaginable degree, and we can never guess it."

"What Yanyan said is very true."

The man slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb, his voice cold and clear.

Indeed, it’s impossible to predict the extent of degrace of those who want his life, nor to guess the extent of their malicious intent.

At this moment in Prince Qi Mansion, Ye Zhenyu accompanied Zheng Liqi and Ah Lea to meet Ye Zhengmo.

Ye Zhengmo was momentarily stunned upon seeing Ah Lea for the first time, quickly raising his eyebrows, "Fourth Brother has such a sharp tool, it’s not in vain that I spoke highly of him to Father Emperor."

This way Ye Zhenyu and Zheng Liqi managed to leave the mansion smoothly during the reflection period.

Ye Zhenyu nodded, "Thank you, Seventh Brother!" Then he raised his hand to introduce, "Her name is Ah Lea." As he spoke, he glanced at the woman beside him, "Ah Lea, aren’t you going to greet Prince Qi?"

Ah Lea took two steps forward and gracefully saluted, "I’ve met Prince Qi!"

Ye Zhengmo nodded and casually supported her with his hand, "According to Fourth Brother’s intention, today you pretend to be a woman from my mansion, do you understand?"

Ah Lea nodded, "I understand."

Seeing this, Zheng Liqi linked arms with Ye Zhenyu, indeed he kept his word.

Initially, she thought this Ah Lea was trying to compete for affection, Ye Zhenyu truly spoke the truth.

As long as Ah Lea went to seduce the Crown Prince, after this act, she didn’t agree to let this woman return to Prince Liang Mansion.

Even if Ye Zhenyu permitted it, with the fact that this woman had once seduced another man, how could she compete for affection?

No matter how she thought about it, she was sure she would win, thinking about this, Zheng Liqi pulled out the jade hairpin from her head and feigned kindness, inserting it into Ah Lea’s head.

"The Crown Princess Consort seems to love wearing jade hairpins, so I give you this hairpin. Wearing it like this, you will resemble her even more."

Ah Lea touched the new hairpin on her head, momentarily unclear of Zheng Liqi’s intentions.

But seeing Ye Zhenyu and Ye Zhengmo nodding, she smiled and asked, "Do I really resemble her now?"

Ye Zhenyu said, "Indeed, you’re more alike."

At this time, Ye Zhengmo called out inside, "Li Lu, take Ah Lea to the backyard and talk to her about the layout, let her get familiar."

Li Lu responded coming out, and upon meeting Ah Lea’s gaze, furrowed her brows, feeling some familiarity.

Seeing her expression, Ye Zhengmo asked, "What, don’t you find her face familiar?"

Lately, Li Lu had been diligently serving Ye Zhengmo, and he was very satisfied with her performance, especially her verbal skills which were particularly strong, so he often kept her by his side.

Li Lu retracted her scrutinizing gaze and smiled at Ye Zhengmo, "Indeed, it’s quite familiar."

"Familiar indeed." Zheng Liqi laughed.

Only Ah Lea felt a wave of tension in her heart, fearing Li Lu would recognize her.

Thinking of her changed face, she calmed down, Li Lu was just seeing her as looking similar to Leng Yu Yan now?

Li Lu gestured with her hand, "Miss, please this way."

Ah Lea nodded, "Thank you very much."

When Ghost Face helped her change her face, he also did some manipulation on her vocal cords, now her voice was different from before.

Once those two women were far away, Ye Zhenyu narrowed his eyes, "Seventh Brother’s new woman is Leng Zongfa’s fourth daughter?"

Ye Zhengmo did not avoid confirming directly, "She is."

Ye Zhenyu recalled that Leng Zongfa had tried to push Li Lu onto him, and a mocking arc curled at his lips.

Leng Zongfa often used his daughters to form connections, even when Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion was confiscated, he didn’t forget to use his daughters to attempt restoring past glories.

In a short while, other princes arrived gradually.

Once almost everyone was present, the Eastern Palace Carriage also arrived.

Hearing the Crown Prince couple had arrived, Ye Zhengmo and Ye Zhenyu exchanged a glance.

As Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan appeared in the front hall’s field of vision, the crowd rose to greet them.

Ye Zhengmo enthusiastically stepped forward, cupping his hands, "Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law coming is truly delightful!"

Ye Yiheng unyieldingly said, "Hard to believe, with such a big blunder, Father Emperor still conferred you as Prince Qi, receiving such favor, I must come."

Ye Zhengmo was internally furious, but smiled, "What words are those Sixth Brother? Mother early on ordered me to choose a consort, I’ve gathered many women in the mansion mainly for selecting a consort. The women in the mansion are indeed many, and I haven’t let them idle, practicing song and dance, composing poetry, daily lessons are not few. At the luncheon, you can watch their performances and judge them a bit."

Standing not far away, Ye Zhenyu narrowed his eyes, the Leng Yu Yan before him held a seductive charm in her eyes and brows, her figure increasingly alluring.

Thinking of Ah Lea, Ye Zhenyu couldn’t help but sigh, the gap between the real person and the counterfeit was not ordinary.

Truth be told, whether Zheng Liqi or Ah Lea, both were women, but he often felt something was incomplete.

The problem likely lay here, what he wanted most was the woman before him.

Why did he agree back then to let Leng Yu Yan replace Lai Manting for the marriage with the Crown Prince?

Truly, one wrong step leads to repeated mistakes.

Hoping today’s situation could reverse all the errors!

Leng Yu Yan cautiously scanned around, inadvertently meeting Ye Zhenyu’s gaze, making her stunned for a moment.

His gaze made her very uncomfortable.

Leng Yu Yan instinctively scratched Ye Yiheng’s palm.

Ye Yiheng turned his head, asking her, "What’s wrong?"

Leng Yu Yan lifted her eyelids, smiling, "Nothing."

Truly, they had the tacit understanding as a couple, as she lifted her eyelids, Ye Yiheng understood and followed her gaze seeing Ye Zhenyu, who hurriedly averted his gaze.

A man’s intuition told him Ye Zhenyu likely had inappropriate feelings for his Crown Princess Consort.

If Ye Zhenyu truly had such thoughts, he might have someone deal with Ye Zhenyu, like Ye Zhenxian, and completely cut off his hopes.

The crowd chatted for a while, everyone was well aware of why Ye Zhengmo could be conferred as Prince Qi, so they mostly talked about Prince Qi Mansion’s scenery and beauties within.

Ye Zhengmo seemed entirely unaffected on the surface, harboring complaints within.

If not for Ye Zhenyu wanting him to host an event, he wouldn’t have the leisure to host any party.

His mother whispered pillow talk that led Father Emperor to confer him the title, saying it like that was truly an embarrassing matter.

His mother, well into her years, still used her beauty to sway Father Emperor, just that alone became such gossip during idle discussions.

"Let’s get to our seats soon, and enjoy the performances sooner as well."

Ye Zhengmo waved his hand, leading everyone to their seats.

Just as everyone settled in, the sound of silk and bamboo instruments echoed, and the brightly dressed women flowed in one after another.

Ye Zhenduan laughed, "If one talks about enjoying life, it must be Seventh Brother, which of our other brothers’ mansions have so many beauties?"

Ye Zhengmo joined in the laughter, today was his chance to portray himself as someone who wanted beauty, not mountain, hence he spoke, "In this regard, everyone mustn’t compare with me."
