"You're leaving after serving the dishes? Who is going to serve this Marquis a meal?" Since Wei Tingyu had the beauty in his arms, he naturally wouldn't let her go easily. He just smiled and said to Ren Ruyi.
Ren Ruyi, of course, was not going to leave just like that. She just wanted to go and get another basin of clean water to wipe away the black soot from her face. But seeing that Wei Tingyu didn't seem to mind her messy appearance at all, and instead kept staring at her somewhat dirty little face, she became even more delighted. Didn't this prove that Wei Tingyu valued more than just her beautiful face? He was actually very fond of her as a person!
"Marquis, try this!" Ren Ruyi was happy, and she quickly took the initiative to pick up a plate of stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms from the table. She took a chopstick-full and gently offered it to Wei Tingyu's mouth. Wei Tingyu opened his mouth without a second thought, allowing her to place the food inside. However, after he chewed a few times, his face suddenly changed! He didn't know whether to swallow the rest or spit it out.
When Ren Ruyi saw the change in Wei Tingyu's expression, she was startled! She thought her food was poisoned and had made the Marquis's face turn green! But when Ren Ruyi also quickly took a chopstick-full and put it in her mouth, she immediately understood. Good heavens! This is so unpalatable! It seemed that she truly had no talent for cooking!
...
Fortunately, not all of the dishes were made by Ren Ruyi. At least half of them were personally cooked by the chef hired by the inn, so the meal was finished without any major incidents. And since the young woman Ren Ruyi was very embarrassed about her cooking failure, after serving Wei Tingyu his meal, she immediately volunteered to help bring the dishes down. Of course, she didn't need to do the dishes and bowls herself; there were specialized maids in the inn for that.
However, after Wei Tingyu watched Ren Ruyi's figure, holding the dishes and bowls, disappear into the kitchen, he slowly stood up. But before he could stretch, he heard a clear voice call out from behind him.
"Marquis! Marquis!" These two bright calls, like a yellow oriole, instantly revitalized Wei Tingyu's spirit. He didn't need to turn around to know that it was Princess Yang Ying! No one else in the entire Wudu could provide such emotional value! Thinking this, he slowly turned around, just in time to see the young woman Yang Ying, dressed in a gorgeous palace gown, trotting over. And behind her, a female official was also following closely, with a very nervous expression on her face.
"Alright, alright! Don't fall!" Wei Tingyu smiled and nodded at Yang Ying, then said. But Yang Ying clearly didn't listen to Wei Tingyu's words. Her footsteps didn't slow down at all, and her two delicate feet scurried along. Without a word, she threw herself into his arms!
This scene made the female official following Yang Ying freeze. She subconsciously stopped, unsure if she should follow. However, having served in the palace for so long, and now being arranged to serve Yang Ying, the future savior of Da Wu, this female official was naturally not a fool and would not voluntarily step forward to be ignored! She thought for a moment and then stopped where she was, just looking in their direction from a distance. At this moment, she also understood that if she were to get too close, she would definitely annoy the princess!
Wei Tingyu glanced at the female official and found her very familiar. He then remembered that he had seen her on the night he had infiltrated Xiao Yan's sleeping quarters! She was the one who, together with Xiao Yan, had played a part in deceiving the young woman Yang Ying into becoming the envoy! For her to send her personal female official to serve Yang Ying, it was clear that Xiao Yan was very dedicated to this little princess. Thinking this, Wei Tingyu felt a little more satisfied with Xiao Yan. After all, this woman was not being deceptive to him, and had at least truly given up on the plan to harm Yang Ying as well. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to be so dedicated to teaching Yang Ying, would she?!
"Princess, why are you in such a hurry?" Wei Tingyu patted Yang Ying's back and asked directly.
"I..." Yang Ying was startled. Her breathing had also become a little more even, and she then realized that she was still clinging to Wei Tingyu's arms! She immediately blushed greatly and subconsciously took a step back, creating some distance between them.
And this made Wei Tingyu feel speechless again. You were the one whoäž»ćš threw yourself into my arms, so why are you acting so shy now?
"Princess, why is your face red?" Wei Tingyu blinked, looked at Yang Ying, and asked, "Could it be that you ran too fast and couldn't catch your breath?"
"If others saw this, they might think I was harassing you, wouldn't they?"
"How can I maintain my image as a gentleman?"
"Pfft!" Hearing Wei Tingyu's serious teasing, Yang Ying finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. But her beautiful eyes still gave Wei Tingyu a small glare, clearly a form of coquetry! After all, from Yang Ying's perspective, she had run over so urgently to see him, yet he was still teasing her? He was truly too mischievous! In his words just now, where was there an ounce of a gentleman's image?! He was clearly just a seasoned playboy!
But at this moment, Yang Ying didn't understand why, the more she felt that Wei Tingyu was a little bad, the more she loved him dearly!
And Wei Tingyu, upon seeing Yang Ying's expression, also knew what she was thinking. But in his opinion, this was completely normal. In the later generations, those innocent, pure young girls were most easily attracted to bad boys and were led astray if they weren't careful. He had experience in this area, so taking down an ancient little white rabbit princess was an easy task!
Especially now, with Princess Yang Ying's identity, there was no need to refer to Wei Tingyu respectfully as "Marquis." It would be more appropriate and polite to call him "Marquis of Jining" or "Marquis Wei." However, the young woman Yang Ying had long considered Wei Tingyu her lover, so it was her own choice to call him "Marquis"! If Wei Tingyu were to tell her not to use the respectful title of "Marquis" to address him, she would probably feel unhappy!
"Sister-in-law said that the Marquis will accompany me to Anguo?" Yang Ying's visit today, of course, had a purpose. But in order to present a beautiful image of herself to Wei Tingyu, she had specifically changed into a princess's dress before appearing in front of him.
"That's right!" Wei Tingyu smiled, then nodded gently to Yang Ying and said, "This Marquis will ensure the Princess's safety all the way!"
"Why?" Yang Ying's face immediately turned red upon hearing Wei Tingyu's affirmative answer, and she asked with some embarrassment. At the same time, her small hands nervously pinched the corner of her dress. This small gesture, in Wei Tingyu's eyes, was simply adorable. The young woman's shy and hesitant demeanor wasn't just so she could hear words of confession from his mouth, was it?
"Doesn't the Princess know?" When dealing with a little white rabbit like Yang Ying, Wei Tingyu naturally knew to be both firm and gentle. He didn't answer her question. Instead, he smiled and asked back.
"How... how would I know?" Yang Ying was first startled by Wei Tingyu's words, then her face became even redder, and she subconsciously pursed her lips. Wei Tingyu could almost hear the young woman's small heart beating faster and faster in her chest. The rhythm was like a drum!
"Because this Marquis... likes the Princess!" Seeing that the time was right, Wei Tingyu no longer hesitated and said with a smile. At the same time, he took a step forward and gently put his arm around Yang Ying's slender waist!
"Ah?" Yang Ying was startled by Wei Tingyu's sudden affectionate gesture. She instinctively wanted to push him away a little, as the oppressive feeling of such a tall and strong man in front of her delicate and lovable body was just too great! But her hands had just rested on Wei Tingyu's chest, and before she could push him back, she heard Wei Tingyu confess his liking for her. She immediately froze, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Seeing the petrified Yang Ying, Wei Tingyu lowered his head without another word and kissed her small, cherry-like lips again. They had kissed before, so Yang Ying no longer resisted. Instead, she obediently closed her eyes, allowing Wei Tingyu to have his way with her small mouth!
And just as they were kissing, Ren Ruyi happened to walk out of the kitchen and saw the scene. Good heavens! The two of them are kissing right here in the inn in broad daylight?! They aren't trying to hide it at all!
Ren Ruyi was now a co-wife who had been directly acknowledged by Wei Tingyu, so she was naturally jealous! Of course, her main target of jealousy was Princess Yang Ying! I just turned and left for a little while, and you come here to seduce my Marquis?! Do you really think there are no women in my Marquis's residence?
At this moment, Ren Ruyi even recalled the admonishments that Dou Zhao and the other wives and concubines of the Marquis's residence had given her before she left! Right! I shouldn't stop the Marquis from taking in other women, but what is this woman's character like? I still have to keep an eye out for my sisters in the residence!
Meanwhile, Wei Tingyu was passionately kissing Princess Yang Ying in his arms, but he felt the delicate body in his arms getting heavier and heavier. This was because she was completely immersed in his passionate kiss, and her mind was almost unable to control her body! If he weren't holding Yang Ying's body with his hands, the young woman would have definitely collapsed to the ground. And Wei Tingyu could also feel that Yang Ying's breathing was clearly getting more and more rapid! It seemed that her small nose was already getting a little short of oxygen...
Before he transmigrated, Wei Tingyu had seen news online about people who fainted from kissing for too long. Now, it seemed that the young woman Yang Ying belonged to this type. Thinking this, he proactively ended the passionate kiss. And after their lips parted, Yang Ying took a deep breath, and her small chest rose and fell violently. It seemed that she was finally starting to recover.
Wei Tingyu was even more speechless. He hadn't expected to get such a little treasure! She was so invested in even just a kiss!
"Marquis..." After resting in Wei Tingyu's arms for a while longer, Yang Ying finally slowly came back to her senses. As soon as her mind cleared, the first thing she did was softly call out to Wei Tingyu. After confirming that he was still by her side, she felt at ease and leaned her head against his shoulder again.
"Marquis!" And at this moment, Ren Ruyi also seized the opportunity and ran over happily, grabbing Wei Tingyu's other arm. And Princess Yang Ying was stunned by this woman who had suddenly appeared, her cute eyes wide and round. She hadn't expected that there would be another woman in this inn trying to steal Wei Tingyu's embrace from her!
However, although Yang Ying was not particularly favored in the Wuguo imperial family, she was still a princess! Seeing this situation, she immediately pouted and glared fiercely at Ren Ruyi. Ren Ruyi, upon seeing Yang Ying's angry and jealous expression, became even more triumphant! You just made me drink a big bowl of old vinegar just now, and now it's your turn to experience it, isn't it?!
"Marquis! Didn't you promise to go shopping for clothes with your concubine today?" Thinking this, Ren Ruyi said coquettishly while shaking Wei Tingyu's arm, "When are we going?"
"This little sister's attire and demeanor are extraordinary!" And without waiting for Wei Tingyu to speak, Ren Ruyi looked at Yang Ying again, nodded with a smile, and said, "Marquis! Who is she?!" Her tone was a mix of inquiry and coquetry, further highlighting the extraordinary relationship between Ren Ruyi and Wei Tingyu.
"This is Princess Ying of Da Wu!" Wei Tingyu knew that the young woman Ren Ruyi was doing this on purpose, but he also knew that she wasn't trying to cause a big scene, so he introduced her.
"Greetings, Princess!" Ren Ruyi naturally understood etiquette. She smiled slightly and then bowed gently to Yang Ying, but her posture was a little perfunctory.
"Marquis, you really are something; you didn't even wipe your mouth after your tryst!" Ren Ruyi stood up and didn't care about the anger in Yang Ying's eyes. She then looked up at Wei Tingyu, took out her silk scarf, and gently wiped the corner of his mouth! After all, he had just kissed Yang Ying, and since the little princess was dressed up, she had been wearing lip color, so it had naturally gotten on Wei Tingyu's mouth.
Yang Ying's face turned red again upon seeing this scene. She hadn't expected that Ren Ruyi would not get angry even after seeing that Wei Tingyu's mouth still had her lipstick on it, and would even proactively help him clean it... At this moment, Yang Ying asked herself, she definitely couldn't do that! How could she compete with someone who was so obedient and compliant? For a moment, all the anger in Yang Ying's heart disappeared, and it was replaced by a feeling of unease!
"Who is this big sister..." Yang Ying blinked, then looked at Ren Ruyi and asked.
"My name is Ruyi! I am the Marquis's honored concubine!" Ren Ruyi smiled, looked at Yang Ying, and blurted out. But then she immediately covered her mouth and said with a look of embarrassment, "Ah! I was wrong! The Marquis just said he would promote me to co-wife!"
Honored concubine? Co-wife?
Yang Ying, this little white rabbit, was no match for Ren Ruyi. Her face immediately froze upon hearing her words, and she then turned to look at Wei Tingyu. Wei Tingyu could only nod, as what Ren Ruyi said was not a lie.
"So you're Sister Ruyi!" Yang Ying immediately understood after seeing Wei Tingyu's expression. So, even though Wei Tingyu was far away from his own residence, he wasn't without a woman to take care of him. This Sister Ruyi, who had just been promoted from honored concubine to co-wife, was the "first lady" by the Marquis's side at the moment! Since that was the case, she had to get along well with her!
Yang Ying's thinking was very naive, one could even say childish! But precisely because of this, her way of handling problems was also very simple and direct! Just as she had buttered up to Empress Xiao Yan in the palace to get a fiefdom, in order to live a happy and smooth life in Wei Tingyu's residence in the future, she naturally had to find a way to butter up to Ren Ruyi now!
Ren Ruyi hadn't expected that the young woman Yang Ying wouldn't lord her princess status over her. Instead, she was very humble and completely submissive.
"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!" This left her not knowing what to do! After all, you don't hit a smiling person. Ren Ruyi was not a truly cold-blooded person, let alone with Wei Tingyu's presence! She could only quickly wave her hands and say, "For the Princess to call me sister, it is truly too much honor for me!"
"I..." Yang Ying glanced at Wei Tingyu with an embarrassed look, then frowned and walked directly to Ren Ruyi's side. She proactively took her arm and said, "Sister, since you already saw what happened, why are you making fun of me now?"
"What princess? I am just a woman who wants to stay by the Marquis's side!"
"I'm sure you, sister, can understand this sentiment..."
"If you insist on being so distant with me, it means you truly despise me!"
After saying this, she put on a pitiful expression and just looked at Ren Ruyi, giving off the vibe of "If you don't let me call you sister, I'll cry!"
