“My dear, this is where you are wrong. I came to visit the Mountain God’s home. If he doesn’t entertain me, I won’t even complain. But how can he get angry with me for borrowing his precious land to rest? If the Mountain God is so petty, he should be ashamed to be called a deity.”
Ye Hui spoke what she considered to be reasonable words. Wasn’t it true? The gods in Journey to the West had great tolerance. Sun Xiaomao did things that would have been enough to kill him a thousand times, yet he remained unscathed.
“Sigh, I can’t do anything with you,” Qin Yuhang stepped forward and carried his wife down from the offering table. He saw a door to the side, went in, and found a side hall with several long benches for pilgrims to rest temporarily.
Old Ten and Old Eleven also entered, taking out the grain and water flask they had brought, and handed them to the two.
“Sit down, all of you, and have some food,” Ye Hui understood that the two guards were her secondary husbands, but they were actually from the royal family with noble status: “I know one of you is the Prince of Pu, and the other is the Prince of Yi. Don’t always act like servants; it looks awkward.”
Since the imperial decree came from the capital, sending them to be her secondary husbands, and the urgent matter of Huangfu Zeuan’s trip to the capital, the planned wedding ceremony had been delayed. Ye Hui was indifferent; a later wedding would be better, allowing her to get to know them properly.
“Your Highness is the future empress of Yingtang, and showing respect to Your Highness is expected.”
Not only was she the empress, but she was also his wife. Old Eleven’s gaze was deep. Ever since being sent by the emperor to be her bodyguard, his eyes were only for her. After understanding her true nature and her extraordinary talent, she filled not just his eyes, but his heart with her graceful image.
Qin Yuhang took a swig from his wine gourd, his hand brushing through his wife’s black, silky hair. After more than half a year, it had grown to shoulder length. After a trim, paired with her peony-like face, she looked incredibly beautiful.
