CH 148

Chapter 148: I’m here because of a certain someone

“You damn servant….!”

But regardless of how mad Nangong Jun Xi was, Le Yao Yao ignored him and walked the other direction.

But while she was walking, suddenly, she noticed a bag on the ground.

Furthermore, there were a few steamed dumplings as well.

“This is…”

Who dropped this?!

And based on the location, could it be that she wasn’t hallucinating earlier this afternoon?!

—–

With a blink of an eye, ten days had gone by. It was the Dowager Empress’s 50th birthday.

Le Yao Yao had maximized the ten days by transferring all of her modern knowledge to this ancient era.

Deep down, Le Yao Yao was very excited and proud of herself. In addition, she was looking forward to the audience’s reactions. Although she wasn’t the one who wrote the plays, she honestly put a lot of efforts on the props and backgrounds.

Tonight, everyone will finally see the results of her hard work!!

For the past ten days, Le Yao Yao had barely seen the King of Hell. In fact, she could count the number of times with one hand.

Also, even if she did see him, the King of Hell would hastily walked by her and not stop at all….

Today, she was finally finished with the project. So, after waking up, she decided to serve the King of Hell.

However, since she hadn’t seen him for awhile, today, Le Yao Yao was a lot more nervous than usual.

After neatly fixing herself up, Le Yao Yao stood in front of the copper mirror. Nervousness could be seen in her eyes.

She took a deep breath and adjusted her mood. Le Yao Yao balled up her fists and firmly spoke to her reflection, “Le Yao Yao! When have you turned so gutless?! You are only facing the King of Hell! You can do it!”

Yeah! That’s right!

So after Le Yao Yao was calm, she pursed her lips and headed towards the King of Hell’s bed chamber.

She knew the moment she pushed open the doors, she would be facing him.

The moment she thought of Prince Rui, the hot kiss scene from Ruyi tavern began to play continuously on her mind.

Now, Le Yao Yao’s heart was unstable. But ultimately, she gritted her teeth and pushed open the wooden carved door.

After Le Yao Yao pushed open the door, she saw Prince Rui by the window. His back was facing her.

Although she couldn’t see his face, she was almost certain that his face was expressionless; definitely colder than an icy mountain.

Perhaps Prince Rui could sense Le Yao Yao’s eyes, suddenly, he slowly began to turn around.

Le Yao Yao’s entire body trembled.

Ehhh! Too cold!!

One glare from him could freeze someone to death, ok!?

But obviously, Le Yao Yao didn’t say that aloud. In fact, she adjusted very quickly as she bowed and quietly murmured, “Servant wishes the Prince well. Servant will help dress Prince Rui now.”

“Mm.”

Leng Jun Yu only made one sound. There was nothing else.

So now, Leng Jun Yu was walking towards Yao Yao with his arms behind him.

Suddenly, Le Yao Yao’s calm heart began to pound.

Even her breathing was turning irregular.

But she tried her best to suppress her beating heart.

Remain calm! Remain calm!  

But, her heartbeat was uncontrollable. Instead of slowing down, it began to increase faster and faster.

Everytime she was faced with the King of Hell, she would always lose control over her heart.

Perhaps, this man gave her too much pressure. Or maybe, there was some other unknown reason….

While Le Yao Yao was lost in her thoughts, Prince Rui had already arrived in front of her. The familiar scent of ambergris immediately entered her nose. It was the scent that specifically belonged to him…

However, Le Yao Yao ignored the pounding and hurriedly helped the King of Hell change.

Since today was the Dowager Empress’s birthday, the King of Hell was more fancily dressed than usual.

In order to match his noble purple robe, Le Yao Yao specifically selected an exquisite double dragon and pearl jade hat.

The pearls were made from purple stones. They were extremely fine.

Also, merely this jade hat alone was worth more than the entire city.

The King of Hell didn’t show any signs of disapproval, so Le Yao Yao immediately began to help him brush his long black hair.

Since Le Yao Yao had already served the King of Hell many times, she was very skilled by now.

She finished combing his hair very quickly, and placed the jade hat on top of his head.

After she was done, she carefully sized up the King of Hell and then took a step back as she lowered her eyes.

During the entire process, the King of Hell had his eyes closed.

“To respond to the Prince, servant has finished.”

“Mm.”

Hearing the King of Hell’s cold reply, Le Yao Yao bit her lip.

Now, it was as if they were strangers. Aside from coldness, the King of Hell didn’t show any other emotions towards her.

Perhaps, after that incident from Ruyi tavern, the King of Hell couldn’t forgive her.

But if he was that mad, he could’ve downgraded her position. For example, she could be the person to wash and scrub toilets.

Yet, he didn’t do that. He still kept her around to serve him. Maybe he was too used to her serving him!?

Regardless, his cold behaviour was making her really sad…

While Le Yao Yao was thinking, the King of Hell had already stood up and headed towards the exit.

Naturally, Le Yao Yao followed.

Nangong Jun Xi was always here early for breakfast.

But today, Dongfang Bai was here as well.

Since Dongfang Bai was about to open his medical clinic in the Capital, he had moved out of Prince Rui’s residence and lived in his clinic.

So, Le Yao Yao thought it was rather strange that Dongfang Bai was here.

However, after listening to the conversations between the guys, Le Yao Yao found out that the Dowager Empress invites Dongfang Bai to her birthday every single year.

After all, Dongfang Bai’s medical skills were remarkable. There had been many attempts to get Dongfang Bai to become an Imperial physician, but Dongfang Bai had always rejected the offer.

Eventually, the Emperor found out that Dongfang Bai was accustomed to his free lifestyle. So, he stopped pushing.

But Dongfang Bai was always treated as a VIP guest.

Whenever there were large scale banquets in the palace, Dongfang Bai would always receive an invitation.

But Dongfang Bai rarely attended because he didn’t like following the strict rules and restrictions of the palace.

So, both Nangong Jun Xi and Leng Jun Yu were also quite surprised by his presence.

“Bai, don’t you dislike these type of events? Why are you here today?”

Nangong Jun Xi asked as he stuffed his mouth with a delicious boiled dumpling.

Dongfang Bai’s mouth curved into a smile. He didn’t immediately respond. Instead, he raised his eyes and turned towards the little person who was standing by the corner. “I am here because of a certain person.” (end of Chapter 112 of raws)
