Chapter 121 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
seduce.
He was definitely seducing her!
Look at those trembling long eyelashes, those half-shy, half-angry eyes—they vividly demonstrate what it means to have alluring eyes!
Unfortunately, Le Yan was a very proper person. She immediately stepped back, pushed away Xiao Lanyi's slender hands, poured a cup of cool tea and placed it in front of him. With a slight smile, she said, "It's hot. Drink something cool to cool down."
All he does every day is seduce her.
She's a very serious and proper person; she won't fall for a trick!
Xiao Lanyi touched the chilled tea with her fingertip, glanced at Le Yan with a hint of resentment, and then reluctantly drank the tea.
The herbal tea worked wonders; after just one cup, his burning heart cooled down.
Xiao Lanyi was not happy about this.
He only wanted to cool down the fire using that method, not this method.
Unfortunately, his beloved Qingqing refused to grant his wish.
Is it because he's not good-looking?
Or is it that he's not attractive enough?
Xiao Lanyi subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, deep in thought.
His brows were furrowed, as if he were troubled by something of paramount importance.
Seeing this, Leyan felt embarrassed to disturb him, as she felt it would be a sin to disturb someone who was deep in thought.
Just then, Xiao Lanyi's subordinates came to disturb them.
He stood respectfully outside the door and reported in a deep voice, "Master, there is news."
Perhaps the sound was too soft and did not attract Xiao Lanyi's attention.
Le Yan glanced at him, then at the attendants waiting at the door, and decisively got up and walked over, saying, "Give it to me, I'll give it to him."
The attendant paused for a moment, and seeing that Xiao Lanyi inside didn't say anything, he handed her the letter.
At the same time, he said, "Mistress, please tell the master that this letter came from the south."
South?
Le Yan looked slightly puzzled.
Which south?
Is it the south of the four cardinal directions?
Or is it some famous place in the south that is rich in Gu worms?
It was hard for Le Yan not to overthink things, especially since she had just directly attacked a Gu worm.
If it weren't for the Gu worms, she wouldn't have thought about it so much.
Holding the light letter in her hand, Le Yan didn't open it herself. Instead, she obediently placed it in front of Xiao Lanyi, nudged him, and said truthfully, "Lanyi, this is a letter from the south."
Xiao Lanyi didn't look at the letter right away, but first looked up at her before smiling and nodding, "Thank you for getting the letter for me, Qingqing."
His eyes sparkled, and even the feeling of opening the letter was wonderful.
That's great. It seems his Qingqing really doesn't want to leave him.
I was out all day and never thought of trying to escape. I took his letter but never thought of peeking at it.
So she's made up her mind, right?
Xiao Lanyi became happier and happier as she thought about it, and her smile reached her eyes.
Le Yan had no idea what he was thinking. If she did, she would have replied seriously, "Don't overthink it."
She's not stupid. How is she supposed to escape all by herself in this unfamiliar ancient world?
After escaping, will you become a poor beggar who can't afford food or clothes?
Even if she wanted to escape, she would wait for someone to rescue her before she could escape.
Otherwise, why would she go out and suffer instead of living a good life?
Then there was peeking at the letters. She reiterated that she was definitely not stupid.
Xiao Lanyi was in the room, and her bodyguards were nowhere to be seen. What letter was she peeking at?
Even if you watch it, what's the point?
It would be better not to waste that time. Wouldn't it be better for her to spend that time and energy listening to her subordinates tell stories?
Le Yan had no idea what Xiao Lanyi was imagining for her; she only felt directly that Xiao Lanyi's gaze was becoming increasingly intense.
It was like that kind of fiery passion, where if they were still in the courtyard, she would be dragged away by him to indulge in daytime debauchery.
Le Yan was a little scared. She silently moved her chair, preparing to stay far away from Xiao Lanyi.
As Xiao Lanyi read the letter, she swiftly hooked her chair, keeping her firmly beside her, not letting her out of her sight.
He even managed to steal a moment to smile at her, saying, "Qingqing, don't move around."
Le Yan hesitated, wanting to scold him, but she was too timid to say anything.
She just stood there, fuming, holding her chin in her hands, focusing all her attention on the storyteller.
It wasn't that she was unsophisticated; it was mainly because the combination of storytelling and ventriloquism created a vivid and immersive experience, comparable to watching a movie.
As she listened, she became completely engrossed.
After Xiao Lanyi frowned and burned the letter, he looked up to talk to her, only to find that no matter what he said, she ignored him.
She even found him a bit noisy, so without turning her head to look at him, she simply reached out and covered his mouth.
Frustrated, he said, "Be quiet, don't bother me."
Xiao Lanyi narrowed her eyes instantly, her gaze sweeping over Le Yan before settling on the storyteller and ventriloquist who had caught her attention, both exuding a dangerous aura.
He touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, leaned forward, and opened his arms to hug Le Yan's waist.
His large hand encircled her slender waist, his chin rested on her shoulder, and he whispered in her ear, "Qingqing, do you enjoy listening to audiobooks?"
He chuckled, "If Lanyi were to learn it, would Qingqing support her?"
Le Yan was first made numb by his breath as he spoke in her ear, and then she realized what he had said.
Sensing the seriousness in his words, Le Yan quickly turned her head: "You're joking, right!"
A nobleman of the imperial family, forced to learn storytelling for her sake?
Xiao Lanyi smiled and said, "Qingqing, I never joke with you."
He was serious. Since Qingqing liked listening to audiobooks, he would learn them, no matter how difficult they were.
As long as her attention is entirely on him and not on anyone else.
With her eyes slightly lowered, Xiao Lanyi glanced at the storyteller out of the corner of her eye, a dark glint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
What kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to steal Qingqing's attention from him?
Suppressing her jealousy and murderous intent, Xiao Lanyi looked at Le Yan with tender eyes, "How about it? Qingqing, what do you say?"
"I'll go learn storytelling and perform for you then?"
He was extremely serious. Le Yan remained silent for a while before nodding and slowly saying, "Study, whatever makes you happy."
Anyway, it wasn't her who learned it.
Overjoyed to receive Le Yan's nod, Xiao Lanyi hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "If Lanyi learns it and earns Qingqing's smile, could Qingqing give Lanyi some reward?"
See the picture poorly.
Le Yan knew that this guy was definitely up to no good.
Now, the real purpose has been revealed.
What kind of reward is this? Do you think she doesn't know what he's up to?
It's nothing more than that!
