“Wife, when we return to the capital, you’ll have no connections in the royal court. The Tenth and Eleventh are very fond of you and will be your most direct and useful allies,” Qin Yuhang’s eyes were thoughtful. “I think we should settle their marriage to you before returning to the capital, to resolve their heartache and provide you with two most loyal assistants.”
“You decide, but don’t forget to make them take contraceptive pills,” Ye Hui actually quite liked the two guards, but liking was one thing; she didn’t want to have children with them so quickly. If anyone should have children, it should be with her first husband.
“As your principal husband, I’ll always think of everything for you. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy.”
Outside the Jinhua Hall’s corridor, the Tenth sat silently on a bench, recalling the bathroom scene. He asked, “Did you do it with the Lady?” When he entered the bathroom, he saw Ye Hui’s naked body in the Eleventh’s arms, being passionately kissed. With just one glance, his heart stopped, wishing he was the one holding her.
The Eleventh shook his head, looking frustrated: “It’s your fault for coming in too early. The Lady had already agreed to me…”
“She agreed to you?” The Tenth was suddenly consumed by jealousy, his eyes burning, but the Eleventh said: “Don’t be jealous. I’m not doing much better.” The burning desire was unbearable, and he wondered how he hadn’t been consumed by the fire in his abdomen, bitterly laughing: “When are you going to tell Young Master Qin about that matter?”
The Tenth understood his brother meant their marriage to Ye Hui. As he was about to respond, he saw Qin Yuhang coming out of Jinhua Hall. Facing the Prince’s junior, the Lady’s legitimate husband, the Tenth and Eleventh always held respect and came forward to pay their respects.
Qin Yuhang nodded: “Tomorrow I’ll go to Tianying Gate to bring Heng Ting, then choose an auspicious day to settle your marriage to the Lady. Later, I’ll call Manager Lin to prepare the bridal chamber and wedding feast, and invite officials and nobles from Pingzhou to add some festive atmosphere. Tell me what you want, and I’ll arrange it.”
