Chapter 4 A Beauty That Could Topple Kingdoms

Shi Yan couldn't accept that she was wearing someone else's body and had to marry a complete stranger. She had never even been in a relationship before.

"Yan Yan, what did you call me for?"

0804 A cute, childlike voice rang out at just the right moment.

"Explain the current situation to me."

Shi Yan was clearly not in a good mood.

"Today is the wedding day of Yang Yuhuan and Prince Shou, Li Heng. I have tried my best to avoid the previous wedding ceremonies."

0804 replied.

"What I'm asking you to explain is why you can't give me a different time. I haven't even met Prince Shou yet. I just arrived and I'm already being forced to marry him. Isn't this the same as an arranged marriage?"

"Although I am Yang Yuhuan now, it doesn't mean I'm willing to marry this Prince Shou."

In Shi Yan's view, Prince Shou had not committed any major offenses, but as Yang Yuhuan's husband, he had shown extreme cowardice from beginning to end in the face of his father's disregard for human relations and taking away his wife. Now, as Yang Yuhuan herself, she could never convince herself to share a room with a man who was incompetent and unable to protect his wife.

0804 was unaware of Shi Yan's thoughts and simply explained things to her based on the facts.

"The time is already bound and cannot be advanced. It's because you hesitated before that the teleportation time was delayed."

"Yan Yan, you need to understand one fact: you cannot change Yang Yuhuan's life trajectory, and what is destined to happen will happen. As long as you follow the timeline during Yang Yuhuan's predetermined life trajectory, I will not interfere with anything else. I will provide you with assistance if necessary."

"Alright, let's tidy up our mood and happily begin this journey of accumulating merit in this lifetime."

0804 spoke in a light tone and then fell silent.

Shi Yan still felt uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to accept the facts.

Shi Yan glanced around the quiet room again, then looked down at her own elegant and luxurious wedding dress. Looking down, she saw her chest. Shi Yan couldn't help but sigh at what she had read in books and seen in various TV dramas. Indeed, the Tang Dynasty was a very open society, and people dressed in a more fashionable and daring way. The bra strap revealed an impressive cleavage.

"Forget it, I won't watch anymore."

She raised her hand and looked at her pair of delicate, fair hands, the skin revealed as her sleeve slipped down.

"She truly lives up to her reputation as a beauty of unparalleled grace. No wonder she is said to be a stunning beauty who is favored by all and makes the beauties of the six palaces pale in comparison. Her skin is as smooth as jade, and she is blessed by the heavens."

Shi Yan had already seen Yang Yuhuan in that dilapidated temple, and knew how beautiful she was. It's not without reason that people compare Yang Yuhuan to the peony of Luoyang.

Just as she was deep in thought, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, followed by increasingly clear footsteps. Shi Yan looked up and her eyes met those of a young man with flushed cheeks, slightly drunken eyes, a smile on his face, dressed in auspicious clothes, and exuding an air of grandeur.

"Did the historical Prince Shou look like this?"

Shi Yan only knew that Yang Yuhuan and Prince Shou were both quite young when they married. The young man in front of her was probably seventeen or eighteen years old, with a bright and clear smile in his eyes. When he saw Shi Yan looking at him, the smile in his eyes deepened.

Although the person in front of her was smiling and appeared composed, Shi Yan could still detect a hint of naivety and immaturity in their expression.

If she hadn't already known about Yang Yuhuan's fate and ending, she wouldn't have been able to dislike the young man before her, who was elegant yet relaxed, noble yet not arrogant, and with a pure smile, after only one meeting.

Li Heng had already walked to the bedside, followed by six maids from the Prince's mansion and a head maid.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long."

"Yu Huan, you look especially beautiful today..."

The saying goes, "The more you look at a beautiful woman under the lamp, the more intoxicated she becomes."

For a moment, Li Heng couldn't find the right words to describe Yang Yuhuan in his eyes; he could only stare blankly. Perhaps in his heart, no words in this world could match his wife's beauty.

Shi Yan stared blankly at Li Heng's affectionate expression, secretly pondering how to handle the upcoming procedures.

"Your Highness, Congratulations on your marriage! May Your Highness and Consort live a long and happy life together, forever united in heart and soul."

The maids and nannies offered their congratulations with beaming smiles, and then they all knelt down on the ground.

Shi Yan was taken aback by the sudden turn of events for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. She neither moved nor spoke, but glanced sideways at the man beside her.

Li Heng understood and waved for everyone to stand up.

"I am in a good mood today, so everyone will be rewarded."

As he spoke, he sat down next to Shi Yan.

The sounds around her told Shi Yan that the man next to her was someone she had just met, and that she was about to consummate their marriage according to ancient wedding customs. Shi Yan's heart tightened, and her scalp tingled. Her mind raced, trying to come up with a solution.

"Yu Huan".

Li Heng called her name softly again.

Shi Yan responded with a perfectly timed smile.

Just as she was on guard against what Li Heng might do, he suddenly leaned close to her and pressed his forehead against hers.

"Yu Huan, I am so happy. We are finally husband and wife. I no longer have to suffer the pain of longing. From now on, we are one and will never be separated again."

As he spoke, he slowly stepped back, then suddenly stood up and addressed the two maids in green beside him.

"The king and queen wish to take a bath; go and prepare it."

The two maids in green agreed, bowed their heads, and withdrew.

"This is none of your business, all of you, get out of here."

"Granny Wu, send someone to bring some food for the Princess."

The woman, known as Granny Wu, smiled and agreed, then respectfully curtsied to Li Heng and Shi Yan. As she left, she glanced back at Shi Yan, who remained silent and showed no sign of joy, and subtly frowned.

The remaining maids, having received their orders, followed Granny Wu. One of them, a round-faced maid wearing a pink dress, with her hair in a bun and a red spoon in her hair, turned back to look at Shi Yan with concern and a hint of worry before leaving the door.

"Yu Huan..."

Seeing the person who seemed rather quiet tonight with her head bowed and eyes lowered as if lost in thought, Li Heng gently called her name.

Shi Yan wasn't Yang Yuhuan herself, so she wouldn't respond to him, especially since she was thinking of a solution and communicating with 0804. It wasn't until Li Heng called her several times that Shi Yan finally reacted.

"I was just thinking about my memories at my uncle's house and his teachings, which is why I was lost in thought. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Shi Yan casually came up with an excuse.

Li Heng expressed his understanding.

"From now on, the Prince's Mansion will be your home. Don't worry, Yuhuan, I will treat you well."

Shi Yan was unwilling to reciprocate Li Heng's feelings, so she smiled gently with her lips slightly curved.

Seeing Shi Yan smile, Li Heng felt he had received a response and looked at her gently.

"Yu Huan, go to the quiet room to take a bath and relax. You must be tired. The people below should have everything ready."

Shi Yan was immediately bewildered. She looked at Li Heng, trying to guess the meaning behind his words.

"Does this mean we're going to bathe together? It can't be, right?"

"Go ahead, there are maids waiting outside the door, they will lead you there."

As Li Heng spoke, he smiled gently at Shi Yan again.

Shi Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
