Chapter 156 Ren Ruyi Makes Her Debut! A Stunning Beauty!
Upon hearing this, Wei Tingyu lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down. Yang Xian, who had been guarding the door, immediately ran forward with shining eyes, bowing and scraping obsequiously, and scurried to the front of the carriage.
"Brother-in-law! You're here!" He then whispered to Wei Tingyu, "Brother-in-law."
Of course, he only dared to do this after he was sure that no one else around could hear him.
"Has Lord Sun from Wu Kingdom arrived yet?" Wei Tingyu nodded. Yang Xian seemed to have matured a lot in the past few days, at least he wasn't as impetuous as before.
"They're here!" Yang Xian quickly said upon hearing this, "They're already seated in the banquet hall!"
"It was my first time receiving foreign envoys, and I was a little nervous!"
"My parents are also very cautious, afraid that they might make a mistake that would make them a laughing stock in front of the Wu Kingdom's envoys!"
"It's all thanks to my sister's foresight in inviting my brother-in-law to the house to keep things in order! Otherwise, the entire Yang family really wouldn't know what to do today!"
"But now that you're here, brother-in-law, I feel more at ease!"
Yang Xian rattled off these words in rapid succession, subtly flattering Wei Tingyu at the same time.
Wei Tingyu's eyelids twitched; he hadn't expected the kid to have made such rapid progress these past few days!
Regardless of how much of his words were true and how much was false, at least he knows what to say to different people!
Soon, Wei Tingyu arrived at the banquet hall under Yang Xian's guidance. He saw that the hall was indeed decorated in a magnificent manner, and it was clear that the Yang family had put in a lot of effort.
Seated at the head of the table next to the head of the Yang family, who was seated in the main family's seat, was a middle-aged man dressed in a brown brocade robe. He had regular features and a rather dignified air about him.
He must be the guest of honor at today's banquet, Sun Shiyi, the envoy from the Kingdom of Wu!
He was indeed a man of imposing stature and outstanding appearance; no wonder he was chosen to represent a country on diplomatic missions!
As Wei Tingyu thought to himself, he stepped into the banquet hall.
"Lord Wei!" Upon seeing Wei Tingyu's arrival, the Yang family members all stood up and bowed in greeting, which puzzled Wei Tingyu.
It seems that Yang Xian isn't the only one making rapid progress; the entire Yang family is quite pragmatic!
"Brother-in-law!" Yang Xian, noticing Wei Tingyu's confusion, quickly whispered, "These past two days, my sister has been sending messages every day, repeatedly instructing our parents to treat the Marquis with utmost respect and not to be negligent! Otherwise, they will disown her as their daughter!"
Good heavens! Wei Tingyu was stunned for a moment, and now he finally understood.
Yang Yueniang was using the familial relationship between her and her father and mother to threaten the two elders of the Yang family, demanding that they must respect her!
Of course, when she says her parents don't recognize their daughter, it should actually be interpreted the other way around. If the Yang family elders don't agree, then she, as their daughter, should disown them!
It seems that my two nights of seeking tenderness with Yang Yueniang have really had some effect; I've bound this woman's heart tighter and tighter!
Of course, Yang Yueniang was not blinded by her feelings. She knew that she could not write letters and leave any possible evidence, so she sent the two female Golden Shadow Guards disguised as female officials to deliver the messages!
The honor and disgrace of the Yang family rested on Yang Yueniang's shoulders, so her parents naturally dared not disobey their daughter!
"Lord Sun! This is Marquis Wei of Jining of our dynasty!" The head of the Yang family even took the initiative to step forward and introduce Wei Tingyu and Sun Shiyi to each other!
"Lord Wei! This is Lord Sun Shiyi, the envoy from the Kingdom of Wu!"
Wei Tingyu naturally greeted him with the courtesy due to a nobleman, and also learned that in addition to Sun Shiyi, he had brought many attendants and low-ranking officials.
These people were all seated at the lower end of the guest seating area. After all, they were all members of a foreign delegation, and none of them would be neglected.
Of particular importance is that among these delegations there is a handsome young man known as Crown Prince Han!
His position was also very important; he sat directly below Sun Shiyi! Such a spoiled brat should have come with the delegation to broaden his horizons and accumulate some merits, which would provide some assistance for his future development in the court of Wu Kingdom.
Everyone present naturally understood the intricacies of the situation, but only Wei Tingyu glanced at this Prince Han a couple of times.
After all, he was the key figure who brought Ren Ruyi into the picture!
I didn't expect him to be in the delegation this time! So Ren Ruyi will most likely show up!
"Now that the Marquis has arrived, let's begin our banquet!" After Wei Tingyu took his seat, the head of the Yang family greeted the others with a smile.
Then, the sound of string and wind instruments began, and several beautiful women dressed in stunning dance costumes walked in from outside the hall and began to present a magnificent dance.
These beauties are all lithe and graceful, with exquisite and alluring makeup and piercings on their faces.
In addition, their graceful dance moves immediately attracted the attention of all the distinguished guests present.
Wei Tingyu's gaze involuntarily fell on the most special woman among them!
If I had to describe it in words, this woman's beauty would be more like a poem composed by Yuehua!
When she dances, it's as if she's standing in the wind, and her long, green hair is like ink-black clouds spreading out!
As her hair fell, it brushed against her jade-like neck, the ends of which were covered with starlight-like glitter!
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, but her eyes were breathtakingly beautiful!
Her pupils were like black jade soaked in a cold pool, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes were like peach blossoms blown down by the wind!
They danced gracefully to the sound of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments!
When the woman lowered her eyes, it was like snowflakes falling on a frozen lake; when she raised her eyes, it was like a spring sword piercing through thin ice!
A glance can shatter the moonlight, leaving an unforgettable impression!
Her red lips weren't the vibrant color of a peony, but rather resembled those of a blooming crabapple! Yet, a faint, almost imperceptible smile always lingered at the corners of her mouth!
Her white and red dress swept across her jade-like arms, making her look like a butterfly embroidered with gold thread, about to take flight!
The other beautiful women dancing with her on the field paled in comparison to her!
No need for further explanation! Such an outstanding beauty... could only be Ren Ruyi!
Moreover, Wei Tingyu, who had watched the drama, could never forget her appearance!
Wow! I was already amazed when I watched the show, but seeing this scene up close in person really shows me what true beauty is!
……
As Ren Ruyi danced gracefully, she was also reviewing her plans for the future!
Her purpose in coming here was to feign seduction of Prince Han and then successfully sneak into his residence!
So he casually glanced a couple more times in Han Shizi's direction.
These two simple glances were enough to completely arouse Han Shizi's lust!
"This beauty is interested in me!" Han Shizi, who was already completely infatuated, felt a surge of desire as soon as he saw that this beauty seemed to be interested in him! His gaze towards Ren Ruyi was filled with possessiveness!
Meanwhile, Ren Ruyi, who was still dancing gracefully in the arena, also noticed Han Shizi's appearance and immediately sneered in her heart.
As expected, none of these men could stand up to me when I took action!
What can a noble young master like Han do? He was easily hooked with just a glance.
Ren Ruyi, who had never lost a mission, was quite proud of herself, but the next second her senses suddenly became alert.
Ren Ruyi vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a very sharp gaze secretly watching her in the banquet hall!
Although she didn't know where it came from, as a top assassin, she could clearly sense the presence of danger.
Thinking of this, Ren Ruyi immediately composed herself and dared not be careless in the slightest. Then, as the dance progressed, her beautiful eyes darted around the guests, trying to find the true source of that gaze!
She knew there must be a very dangerous person in the banquet hall right now! But who was this person? What were their motives?
However, as Ren Ruyi's gaze swept over the guests one by one, she still couldn't find the source of that gaze. These people were all looking at her with lustful or admiring eyes, but they couldn't hide their foolish and ignorant hearts.
When she looked at Wei Tingyu, the moment their eyes met, Ren Ruyi felt as if her heartbeat had stopped for a second!
Even a top assassin like her had never seen such a gaze before!
Cold? Profound? Such simple words are simply insufficient to describe how Ren Ruyi felt about this man's eyes at this moment!
She even felt that when the other person looked at her, it was like a confident hunter staring at a prey that had nowhere to escape!
This feeling made Ren Ruyi feel very uncomfortable.
Because for a long time, she has been the one playing the role of the hunter!
Who would have thought that right here in the banquet hall of this grand mansion, a member of a prominent family from the capital would completely reverse his own role?!
Fortunately, Ren Ruyi was no ordinary woman, so after her initial surprise, she quickly adjusted her mindset and did not reveal anything in her actions.
Even the expression on his face hardly changed.
Only Wei Tingyu keenly noticed the fleeting surprise and panic in her eyes.
As expected of Ren Ruyi! It's understandable to be flustered, but she was able to quickly adjust and continue with the original plan and task. This is exactly the kind of talent that I need most right now!
Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu's appreciation for talent grew even stronger!
The dance ended quickly, and Ren Ruyi and the other dancers respectfully retreated to the center of the banquet hall, bowing to the distinguished guests present.
"Great!" Sun Shiyi, the star of today's banquet, immediately burst into laughter and applause!
As soon as he clapped, the other guests naturally joined in, all looking delighted.
"Gentlemen!" Seeing that everyone present was giving him face, Sun Shiyi raised his wine cup and toasted everyone present, saying, "I wish to offer this wine to our Emperor for a resounding victory and a great defeat for the An army!"
After saying this, Sun Shiyi drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and the other Wu Kingdom envoys present also offered their congratulations!
"May His Majesty achieve a great victory and utterly defeat the An army!" The dancers, including Ren Ruyi, bowed in unison and said.
They were all brought along by the Wu Kingdom delegation, after all, cultural and artistic exchanges are an important initial aspect of relations between countries.
It's clear that this was rehearsed beforehand!
