The Flourishing Tang Dynasty: Beginning with Marrying Yang Yuhuan

Chapter 286 Chapter 285 Sleeping Together
When Yang Yuhuan said this, Li Ying and He Jin were both surprised and looked at Yang Yuhuan together.

Yang Yuhuan stood up and stood beside Li Heng, put her hand on his shoulder, and continued: "Although it is a concubine, you should still obey your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. After your Highness wins the first battle with Tubo, you can report this matter to the Saint and get his approval. As for my mother, I will write a letter first. What do you think?"

If Li Heng had never taken a concubine, he might have refused, but now that the door had been opened, he would no longer consider it from an emotional perspective, but more from the perspective of interests.

Therefore, Li Heng did not refuse and said, "I will listen to you, my lady."

He Tuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Princess, for your help."

He Jin later didn't expect that this matter would be so easy. Not only could she marry Li Ying as she wished, but she could also receive etiquette that exceeded the standard.

However, she also had a small regret, which was that she did not see how Li Ying felt about her.

While He Jin was in a daze, Yang Yuhuan walked up to her and she quickly stood up.

Yang Yuhuan held He Jin's hand and said, "Sister, although you haven't married yet, in my heart, we are already a family. I hope we can continue to work together and support my husband in the future."

He Jin said: "My younger sister will definitely follow His Highness and the Princess wholeheartedly."

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly and chatted with He Jin for a few more words.

After chatting about some family matters, He Tuo and He Jin left together.

After the two of them left, Li Heng said to Yang Yuhuan, "He Tuo took the initiative to propose marriage. Was it you who instructed him to do so?"

"I just asked He Tuo whether He Jin has feelings for you." Yang Yuhuan looked at Li Heng, "You may think that I did this because of the conflict of interests between us and the He family. Of course, I have this consideration, but I think more about He Jin. She has been following you everywhere whenever she has the chance and has not married yet. This shows how deeply she loves you. You should give her a name."

Li Ying was skeptical about what Yang Yuhuan said, but no matter what, Yang Yuhuan was considering it from his perspective, so he didn't delve into it. He smiled back and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Yuhuan stood up and stood politely, saying, "My dear, please don't blame me for acting on my own."

Li Ying knew why Yang Yuhuan said that, and asked, "It was your idea to ask He Tuo to prepare winter clothes and quilts in advance, right?"

"Yes." Yang Yuhuan nodded.

Li Heng asked: "How do you know I need these things?"

Yang Yuhuan said, "Supplies in Longyou have always been scarce. Last time, you asked He for silk as food and wages, so I wanted to prepare for a rainy day and asked He Tuo to prepare it first. But please rest assured, when I asked He Tuo to prepare it, I specifically told him that these supplies were for me to reward the Yang family, and asked him to keep it secret."

There were two reasons why Yang Yuhuan hid the secret from He Tuo and asked him to keep it a secret.

First, if the news of large-scale military material mobilization leaks, it will be easy for the enemy to anticipate subsequent military operations.

Second, she was not sure whether Li Heng would report this batch of supplies to the court. After all, using private money to support the army would easily arouse the court's suspicion.

At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why Li Ying wanted to support the He family to become the number one merchant on the Silk Road.

If Li Heng was just doing it purely for money, he could have supported a few more big families and let them check and balance each other. The reason why he only supported one was because only merchants who were big enough would be able to raise enough supplies in a short period of time and keep it secret without arousing suspicion.

Li Ying pondered for a moment and smiled: "Even if you are not a princess, you will be a good logistics officer. I still can't do without you."

Yang Yuhuan asked, "My dear, don't you blame me?"

"Why should I blame you? You won't hurt me." Li Heng pulled Yang Yuhuan onto his lap, hugged her, and whispered, "Even if you want to murder me, I will admit it."

Yang Yuhuan smiled sweetly, leaned on Li Heng's chest, and said, "My dear, I still have a lot of questions to ask, such as why I didn't discuss it with you in advance, why..."

Li Ying kissed Yang Yuhuan and interrupted her, saying, "I asked one question to let you know that I know your good intentions. I didn't ask too many questions because I trust you. Time flies, and we don't have much time together. How can we waste time on these unnecessary explanations?" Yang Yuhuan was moved by what she said, and smiled sweetly, "Then where should we spend our time?"

"Of course it's something more meaningful, such as," Li Heng gently stroked Yang Yuhuan's body, "appreciating your music and dance."

Yang Yuhuan smiled and said, "So that's it."

Li Ying asked, "What do you think it is?"

Yang Yuhuan smiled and shook her head, saying, "My dear, I don't know when you will be back. The other sisters are also waiting for you. You must comfort them before you leave."

Li Ying nodded and was about to speak when Zhang Mujin knocked on the door and walked in, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, it's time to eat."

"Okay." Li Ying responded and sat at the table with everyone else.

At the table, Wei Xianyi looked around at her three "predecessors" and weighed the pros and cons in her heart.

In her opinion, Yang Yuhuan was the most beautiful and talented person, and she was also Li Ying's best wife. Zhang Mujin and Aqisi were also stunningly beautiful, and one was an expert in medicine, and the other was a skilled warrior. They all had their own characteristics. In comparison, she seemed to lack any of her own characteristics.

So she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and worry unconsciously crept up her brows.

Li Heng noticed Wei Xianyi's expression and asked, "Xianyi, are you feeling unwell?"

"Your Highness, I am not feeling unwell." Wei Xianyi replied.

Zhang Mujin was sitting next to Wei Xianyi. She stretched out her hand and touched Wei Xianyi's wrist, saying, "You look worried and have a poor appetite. There are no other symptoms. It is very likely caused by stagnation of heart qi."

Li Heng asked, "Are you not used to life in this town?"

"No, no." Wei Xianyi replied quickly. After thinking for a while, she sighed, "I really hope we can eat at the same table together forever."

She said this because she felt that if she waited too long, Li Heng would most likely completely ignore her, and it would be difficult for her to even see Li Heng.

Li Ying said, "We have always eaten at the same table before. As long as the princess does not change the rules, we can do so in the future."

Yang Yuhuan smiled and said, "I will listen to my sisters' opinions."

Aqisi has always been quite straightforward and said, "If it's my opinion, let's not talk about eating at the same table, we can even sleep on the same bed."

After Aqisi said this, the other three looked at each other, and finally looked at Li Heng at the same time.

Li Ying met their gazes and said with a smile, "Then let's give it a try?"

Aqisi explained: "That's not what I meant."

"What does that mean?" Li Ying stood up, picked up Aqisi, and put her on the bed, saying, "Stay still. If you dare to run, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

"Just stay there!" Ayis said boldly.

Li Heng didn't say much, turned around and carried the other three to the bed in order.

Wei Xianyi was lying there properly, but Zhang Mujin was the most reserved. She covered herself with the quilt as soon as she got on the bed. When Aqisi saw this, she deliberately pulled off Zhang Mujin's quilt. Then Zhang Mujin subconsciously hid behind Yang Yuhuan and hugged her tightly.

Li Ying looked at the appearances of several people, laughed, and drew the curtain.
