On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 201 - : The Commandery Princess is Her
Chapter 201 -201: The Commandery Princess is Her
Eunuch Ye sneered disdainfully, saying that according to the Emperor’s wishes, the Crown Prince was blind and foolish. For an illegitimate daughter who couldn’t appear in public, he even disregarded the Emperor’s words.
Since the Crown Prince was not listening to the Emperor, then the only option was to kill that woman!
After Eunuch Ye left the Eastern Palace, Song Guo panicked and said, “Your Highness, the Emperor means that if you do not attend the palace banquet, he will send someone to find and kill Miss Yu Yan.”
Ye Yiheng saw clearly the actions Eunuch Ye had taken just now.
The Father Emperor was really becoming more and more impatient.
—
The palace banquet took place in the main hall of Xiande Hall.
Officials of the fifth rank and above residing in the capital, as well as titled officials, were allowed to bring their families.
At the moment, the grand hall was nearly full, with only the most prestigious seats directly below the main seat remaining empty.
When the Emperor arrived with the Empress Dowager and Consort Xian, the guests bowed in greeting.
The Emperor first helped the Empress Dowager to her seat, then sat down himself, and only then did Consort Xian take her seat.
“Today’s palace banquet is held for Prince Zhenbei and his party. You all must eat and drink to your heart’s content.”
The Emperor glanced at the princes’ seats and, seeing the Crown Prince was not there, his hawk-like eyes instantly roiled with anger.
“Your subjects obey!”
“We obey!”
The guests then rose to their feet.
At this moment, grand announcements were made from outside the hall.
“Old Prince Zhenbei arrives, Old Princess Consort Zhenbei arrives!”
“Prince Zhenbei arrives, Princess Zhenbei arrives!”
“Heir of Prince Zhenbei arrives!”
“Princess Beilan arrives!”
“Second Young Master of Prince Zhenbei, Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master arrive!”
The crowd who had just stood turned to the side, all eyes uniformly looking towards the hall entrance.
They saw the vigorous and imposing Old Prince Zhenbei entering with the elegantly noble Old Princess Consort, while the gentle and dignified Princess Zhenbei came in holding the long-bearded Prince Zhenbei.
Following them were the very familiar Heir Lai of the capital.
Beside Heir Lai was a young lady wearing a veil cap, presumably the rumored Princess Beilan.
Beyond them were three young men of impressive stature and extraordinary handsomeness, two of whom looked identical.
It had to be said, Princess Zhenbei really knew how to bear children; each of her sons was stunningly handsome!
But it was yet unknown what Princess Beilan, wearing the veil cap, looked like.
And her long veil also covered her figure, preventing people from seeing her physique.
The Leng family proceeded to the center of the hall.
Lai Taihong and Lai Ran, father and son, nodded slightly, while the Old Princess Consort and Mrs. Yun curtsied, only the younger generation performed a grand bow.
“Greetings to the Emperor, to the Empress Dowager.”
“You may dispense with the formalities, dispense with the formalities!” the Emperor laughed heartily, “Please take your seats quickly.”
“Thank you, Emperor!”
The Leng family proceeded to the VIP seats and took their places.
The Empress Dowager raised an eyebrow. She had earlier wanted to marry Zheng Liqi to the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince had fled the capital. Now the Emperor had directly betrothed Princess Zhenbei to the Crown Prince.
She was indeed curious to see what Princess Zhenbei looked like, wondering if she could be more attractive than Miss Zheng of the Zheng Family.
With this thought, the Empress Dowager asked, “In such hot weather, Princess Beilan has come to the palace to pay her respects to me, yet still wears a veil cap. Is this the teaching of Prince Zhenbei Mansion, or is this daughter they recognized along the way utterly uncultured?”
Already seated, the Old Princess Consort replied with a smile, “Empress Dowager, my granddaughter’s skin is delicate and tender. Here in the capital, there are many mosquitoes, hence the veil cap.”
The Empress Dowager’s face suddenly turned ashen; the previous remark felt like a punch landing on cotton.
The Old Princess Consort smiled more warmly, turning to Lady Yu Yan gently, “Darling granddaughter, take off your veil cap.”
Yu Yan nodded slightly, “Yes, Grandmother.”
Her voice was clear and soft.
Like ripples of soothing water, and as gentle breeze brushing through the willows, the sky vast and clouds spreading.
It could only be something from the Immortal Mansion.
Yet amongst the seats of the princes, many slightly furrowed their brows, unsure if it was an illusion, but this voice seemed somehow familiar.
At this moment, Leng Yu Yan removed the veil from her head.
The people present gasped in shock.
Princess Beilan turned out to be Leng Yu Yan!
How had Leng Yu Yan become Princess Beilan?
The Empress Dowager and Consort Xian stared with bulging eyes, unable to believe as they looked at the young girl not far away.
The Emperor’s face remained calm, but raging anger had already risen in his eyes, his large hand hidden under the table suddenly clenched, and a murderous aura began to emerge.
His whole being exuded the deep accumulated authority of one long in power.
Well done, Lai Ran, you’ve intentionally opposed me!
Acknowledging Mrs. Zhang of Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion’s illegitimate daughter as your own child and even requesting a bestowed title for her.
The Emperor’s face grew even darker, and annoyingly, he not only granted a title but remarried her to the Crown Prince!
This girl had been married off to the Crown Prince twice.
The Crown Prince indeed refused the marriage, but he, as the Emperor, used his status to coerce him; now it seems…
This slap resounded with a smack.
It physically pained him.
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, concealing the murderous intent in them, and turned his head to give Eunuch Ye a few instructions.
Eunuch Ye got the hint and immediately ordered the little eunuch to go to different ministers.
The Tian Family was in utter shock, and all those present couldn’t take their eyes off Leng Yu Yan.
Ye Yuan and Ji Qingyu were also extremely astonished.
Ji Qingyu stood up, “Ah Yan, is that you?”
“Yes, it’s me,” Leng Yu Yan said with a smile, “Hello, Qingyu, long time no see, hope all is well with you.”
Instantly, her smile made all other beauty in the hall fade in comparison.
People from Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion were so astonished that they did not know how to respond.
Especially Leng Zong Fa, it was an awkward feeling in his heart.
Soon, some ministers stood up one after another to question.
“Prince Zhenbei, have you been deceived by this girl?”
“Yes, she is Leng Yu Yan, born of Marquis Ningyuan’s legal wife’s adultery, how did she become Princess Beilan?”
“Prince Zhenbei, I suspect that you acknowledge her as your daughter in order to oppose the Tian Family! After all, the Emperor had previously annulled her betrothal to the Crown Prince, and now with her identity, we can’t help but suspect it’s fraudulent!”
One after another, more questions were raised.
Mrs. Yun, agitated, exclaimed, “Nonsense, how dare you slander my child?”
Lai Ran gently patted her shoulder, letting his twin sons take Mrs. Yun to a side palace to rest, and explained tenderly, “Let me handle this matter, then you can come back.”
Mrs. Yun nodded, allowing the third and fourth sons to support her to the side palace.
Once Mrs. Yun left, Lai Ran laughed out loud, and once he had laughed enough, he said, “Why are you all so anxious about me recognizing a daughter?”
“Prince Zhenbei, if you want everyone to know she’s truly your daughter, then go ahead with the blood test,” the Emperor said with a dark face, forced to play the peacemaker, which made his expression somewhat awkward.

Lai Ran knew that these ministers were influenced by the Emperor’s will, and now, this Emperor was finally acting like one.
Suddenly, the ministers shouted, “Blood test! Blood test!”
Some even loudly said, “If this girl is not the true daughter of Prince Zhenbei, she must be executed!”
Old Prince Zhenbei leisurely drank his wine, inwardly scoffing, how could this child of the Ye Family have been Emperor for so long? Where did their ancestors get such a grandson?
Still, he preferred looking at his own son!
Lai Taihong glanced at Lai Ran.
Lai Ran gave his father a reassuring look and then loudly said, “Why bother with such the trouble of a blood test?”
At this time, a little eunuch quietly left Xiande Hall, rushing towards the Eastern Palace.
He needed to quickly inform the Crown Prince that Princess Beilan was Lady Yu Yan!
