After asking the question, Xiao Yan herself couldn't quite believe it, after all, she didn't think there could be such a coincidence in the world!
She lost her virginity to this guy the night before last, and then he hooked up with Yang Ying so quickly?
If it's true, then this Marquis of Jining is no pushover! Has he got his hands on the women of the Da Wu royal family? Not only did he take the emperor's wife, the empress, to bed, but he didn't even spare his unmarried sister!
It would be too awkward for her and Yang Ying, who were originally sisters-in-law in the royal family, to end up sharing a husband.
However, just as Xiao Yan thought of this, she saw Yang Ying's pretty face turn red from behind her ears to the roots of her neck, and she immediately realized that her guess was correct.
No wonder this young lady just said she couldn't make the decision; she really can't arrange this!
It's impossible to force the princess of Wu Kingdom into a marriage with a marquis from another country, is it?!
"Ying'er! How did you and Wei Tingyu..." Thinking of this, Xiao Yan quickly asked.
"Sister-in-law! Please don't laugh at me if I tell you!" Princess Yang Ying could only suppress her embarrassment and whispered about how she met Wei Tingyu: "That day, I was worried about my brother's safety, so I disguised myself as a eunuch and eavesdropped outside the court assembly..."
Listening to Yang Ying's story, Xiao Yan's tense expression gradually eased.
According to Yang Ying, their relationship has only progressed to kissing so far; they haven't gone any further.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise her current situation would have been quite awkward!
You have to understand that Yang Ying is still a young, unmarried woman. If she wants to be with Wei Tingyu, and both of them are willing, then no one can really say anything too outrageous. But it's a different story for me!
Although her relationship with Wei Tingyu is a secret that will not be made public, if Yang Ying really marries that guy, then it is possible that her secret will also be discovered by Yang Ying.
By then, the two women, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, would be sharing one husband, while she would still be Yang Ying's legal wife! Wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?!
Just thinking about that chaotic scene makes Xiao Yan feel like she can't face it!
"Ying'er!" Thinking of this, Xiao Yan could only try to dissuade them before things got out of control!
His eyes darted around, and then he looked at Yang Ying and asked, "Do you know that this Marquis of Jining doesn't have a very good reputation in the capital of the Central Plains? I've heard that he has a large number of wives and concubines..."
Her purpose in saying this was undoubtedly to make Yang Ying jealous and then give up being with Wei Tingyu.
However, Yang Ying nodded directly and said innocently, "I know! After all, he is a marquis, so he must have a lot of wives and concubines at home!"
Good heavens! This girl isn't jealous at all?!
Xiao Yan rolled her eyes and said again, "His wife is already taken, and I've heard that Marquis Jining and his wife, Lady Dou, are very much in love!"
"If you marry into another country, you might not even become a concubine, let alone a secondary wife!"
"I, the dignified Princess Dawu, have become someone else's concubine..."
As Xiao Yan spoke, she even showed an indignant expression, as if she felt extremely sorry for Yang Ying.
However, before she could finish speaking, and before the performance was over, Yang Ying nodded heavily again and said, "It doesn't matter! As long as I can be with the Marquis, I don't even want to be a princess!"
Yang Ying spoke very sincerely, after all, she was originally a girl who wanted to leave the huge cage that was the Dawu Imperial Palace!
However, Xiao Yan's expression at this moment was as if she had swallowed a turtle; she stood there stunned for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
This little girl is neither jealous nor power-hungry, so my moves are like punches landing on a pile of cotton, utterly powerless!
Yang Ying was completely bewildered as she looked at Xiao Yan's face.
You know, Yang Ying has always envied the Empress's beautiful face! Because her own face is cute, she simply can't match the Empress's mature temperament!
Seeing her current state, as if she had been frozen in place, left the young girl completely baffled!
He had absolutely no idea why his sister-in-law would react this way!
Fortunately, Yang Ying wasn't one to delve too deeply into these issues. Since she couldn't figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it!
"Oh, right! Sister-in-law!" Yang Ying seemed to have suddenly remembered something else very important. She slapped her forehead and looked at Xiao Yan, saying, "Could we ask Lord Jining to serve us next?"
As she said this, her expectant little face flushed slightly again.
Did you ask Jining to give you lessons later? Was your goal to attend classes?
Upon seeing Yang Ying's expression, Xiao Yan immediately thought to herself, "This little girl is so calculating... the abacus beads are practically hitting my face!"
But refusing now seems pointless! Judging from this girl's expression, she now has her own residence outside the palace, so she'll probably be running to the inn where Wei Tingyu is staying all the time!
In order to minimize obstacles when she becomes Empress Dowager and rule in the future, she also cannot let her relationship with the young lady become too strained.
Besides, what if one day we really do end up sharing a husband?
After much deliberation, Xiao Yan could only sigh helplessly.
Let alone the fact that they have many opportunities to interact outside the palace now, even when they set off to welcome Emperor Wu, can I follow them all the way and stop them from getting close to each other?
Just think about Wei Tingyu's methods. Once Yang Ying, this little white rabbit, is targeted by him, she's 100% doomed!
Thinking about this, Xiao Yan realized that she might have been overthinking things!
Anyway, this matter can't be changed, and if it's going to be awkward in the future, that's a problem for the future. Let's just take it one step at a time for now!
"What a coincidence!" Thinking of this, Xiao Yan shook her head and said to Yang Ying, "The Marquis of Jining also came to me before, hoping to escort you all the way to Anguo to welcome His Majesty back!"
"I have no reason to refuse! After all, as an official outside the capital, Lord Wei is free to act as he pleases!"
"Moreover, if Lord Wei goes along to welcome His Majesty back to court, it will further solidify the alliance between our two countries in the eyes of the Anguo people! So it will also benefit our Dawu!"
"so……"
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Yang Ying's eyes lit up!
The young woman, beaming with excitement, leaped up from beside the table like a little rabbit, grabbed Xiao Yan, and asked with a look of delighted surprise, "So, sister-in-law, you've agreed? I'll have the Marquis accompany and escort me all the way?"
The reason she was so happy was not only because she could accompany Wei Tingyu all the way, but also because Xiao Yan said that it was Wei Tingyu who took the initiative to suggest it!
Doesn't this prove just how much the Marquis dotes on me?!
"Yes..." Seeing Yang Ying's excited and happy expression, Xiao Yan felt even more bitter! However, she could only suppress this feeling, force a smile, and say.
However, before she could finish speaking, Yang Ying, the little girl, turned around excitedly and ran out of the Empress's bedroom, riding off into the distance towards the outside of the palace.
Xiao Yan stared in disbelief in the direction Yang Ying had left, only snapping out of her daze after her figure had completely disappeared from her sight.
She never imagined that this seemingly delicate girl could run so fast!
As for what she was going to do? Xiao Yan knew without even thinking!
Seeing Yang Ying so happy, Xiao Yan still felt a little doubtful.
Ambitious as she was, she couldn't understand it. Could being by a man's side really bring such happiness? If Yang Ying was right, wouldn't her current scheme seem utterly ridiculous?
No! I'm definitely not wrong! The one who's wrong must be that silly girl, Yang Ying!
She had no idea that men are absolutely unreliable!
Only by holding power in one's own hands can one command the respect and fear of all others!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but clench her little fists, while also cheering herself up in her heart! But for some reason, the sour feeling that had just welled up in her heart could not be eliminated no matter what she did!
……
"What a pleasant morning!" Wei Tingyu sat in the courtyard of the post station, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above with a relaxed expression, and couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, he seems to be busy every day since he transmigrated! Even when he's at home with his wives and concubines, he can't be this leisurely!
So he stared at that small patch of sky all morning, until now it was almost noon.
chap!
A clear sound reached Wei Tingyu's ears. He glanced slightly in the direction from which the sound came, but found that there was still no one in the pavilion or waterside terrace.
However, behind the thickest pillar in the pavilion, a faint breathing sound could not be hidden from his ears.
"Come out!" Wei Tingyu smiled and then said.
Immediately afterwards, Ren Ruyi's figure flashed out from behind the pillar. The girl pouted with a defiant expression, but this was only a superficial show of defiance!
She was already completely convinced and amazed by Wei Tingyu's abilities!
You should know that Ren Ruyi had just dressed Wei Tingyu and gotten up when she saw him admiring the blue sky and white clouds here early in the morning.
The mischievous girl thought this was finally a good opportunity to sneak up on Wei Tingyu and scare him, so she kept it in mind and turned to do other things.
When she came over after finishing her work, she found Wei Tingyu sitting there dozing off. Ren Ruyi felt confident and used her lightness skill to approach him under the cover of the corridor pillars.
As it turned out, he was still fifteen steps away from Wei Tingyu, but he still managed to be discovered!
Faced with her husband who possessed monstrous sensory abilities, Ren Ruyi felt both admiration and a bit speechless!
Sometimes she really felt like she couldn't help the other person at all!
"Is the food ready?" Wei Tingyu merely glanced at Ren Ruyi before asking again.
Ren Ruyi was stunned, because the daily meals were arranged by the officials of the post station and cooked by a famous chef from Wudu! How did Wei Tingyu know that he was cooking today as well?
"It's ready!" Of course, Ren Ruyi wouldn't lie about this on purpose, so she nodded and stepped forward, saying, "I originally planned to give the Marquis a surprise today... How did the Marquis know that I made lunch today?"
Wei Tingyu glanced at Ren Ruyi's dirty little face, pointed at it with his finger, and said nothing more.
Ren Ruyi was stunned. She rubbed her fair hand against her face twice, only to find that her hand was also stained with some soot. Only then did she realize how she had been exposed!
"I'll go and serve lunch right away!" Ren Ruyi felt a little embarrassed at the thought.
After all, cooking is not her forte! Today, she suddenly felt like cooking a meal for the Marquis herself, but even with the guidance of a famous chef from Wudu, she was still flustered and quite embarrassed.
I just didn't expect that she would get her little face dirty without even realizing it!
"Wait!" Wei Tingyu called out to Ren Ruyi, who had turned to get the vegetables, and said, "Go get a basin of clean water, I need to wash my hands!"
