CH 186

Chapter 186: It’s time to start your own family

Hearing the familiar voice, Le Yao Yao immediately knew who it was without having to turn around.

So, she quickly covered her wish with both hands. She didn’t want the 7th Prince to see it.

“Psssh! It’s not like you’ll die if you let me see. Why must you be so secretive?” Nangong Jun Xi grumbled.

Le Yao Yao rolled her eyes in response. “It’s my wish. I am not obligated to show you!”

However, the more secretive Le Yao Yao was acting, the more curious Nangong Jun Xi became. So, he began to stretch over and tried to snatch the lantern from Le Yao Yao’s hands.

But Le Yao Yao had already anticipated this move. So, she swiftly leaped and hid behind Dongfang Bai.

Nangong Jun Xi still refused to give up. When he was in his playful mood, no one could stop him.

Ultimately, Leng Jun Yu couldn’t take it anymore and warned his junior brother. “Jun Xi, stop with this nonsense.”

Nangong Jun Xi finally behaved after he was given the warning. But, he still had a sneaky smile on his face.

Seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt a breath of relief. She didn’t forget to make a face at Nangong Jun Xi. She purposely wanted to irritate him.

Unexpectedly, after she made that face, she sensed a burning gaze on her.

Le Yao Yao turned towards the source and felt as if her brain was going to explode. It was as if her mind had turned blank.

Because, that person watching her was no other than the Heaven Yuan’s biggest boss – the Emperor!

Le Yao Yao met the Emperor for the first time during the Dowager Empress’s birthday. The Emperor left a very lasting impression on her. After all, at the time, he actually asked her to follow him in front of all the civil and military officials!

Le Yao Yao was thankful that the Emperor didn’t take her rejection to heart.

Anyhow, why was the Emperor staring at her? He had a smile yet not a smile on his face. His expression reminded her of a cunning fox!

That’s right, a cunning fox!

So now, Le Yao Yao’s hair was standing on its ends and her scalp was turning numb.

“Eh…”

“Imperial brother, your little eunuch is an interesting fellow. Even today, this Emperor still remembers the play ‘Wu Song hit the tiger’. Lately, many of my Imperial concubines have been asking to see the two plays again and again! They are never sick of rewatching it.”

Now, the Emperor’s eyes had shifted onto Leng Jun Yu. But, Le Yao Yao’s heart was still hanging by a thread. After all, the Emperor was talking about her! Naturally, she was going to perk her ears to listen!

Le Yao Yao was secretly watching and waiting for the King of Hell’s reaction. Leng Jun Yu’s face was still frozen with a lack of temperature. “Brother Emperor, he really does not deserve so much praise. It was only a minor accomplishment.”

Leng Jun Yu’s voice was icy. He sounded like he didn’t care about Le Yao Yao, but his tall figure suddenly moved in front of her. Now, the Emperor’s view of Le Yao Yao was completely blocked.

After all, he hadn’t forgotten….his brother Emperor wanted his little guy before.

Seeing Leng Jun Yu’s dramatic gesture, Leng Zi Hao’s mouth curved into a smile. However, he didn’t say anything.

At this moment, all of them had arrived by the shore of West Lake. The Lotus Flower Festival only took place annually, naturally, there were no seats available.

However, as long as one had money, they would definitely be able to get a good spot.

In no time, Le Yao Yao and the group of people arrived at a white jade pavilion.

Tonight, the sky was covered with glittering stars. The moon was hanging elegantly above them. The universe looked limitless.

The gentle night breeze blew away the heat from this afternoon. It was extremely comfortable.

By the time the group entered the pavilion, all sorts of fruits, desserts, and tea were already prepared on the table.

At this moment, the Dowager Empress turned around to face Leng Jun Yu. She smiled, “Yu’er, you’re eighteen this year, am I correct?”

“Yes, grandma Empress.”

“When Hao’er was your age, he already had five concubines! It’s time you ought to think about starting a family of your own, Yu’er.”

Hearing this, Leng Jun Yu’s brows furrowed. When he saw the joyful expression on Leng Zi Hao’s face, his mouth twitched.

After all, everyone was well aware of the Dowager Empress’s intentions.

However, Leng Jun Yu remained silent like he was deep in thought.

Seeing this, the Dowager Empress didn’t push it. Instead, she turned her head lovingly towards the Nian Sulan who was sitting next to her.

Currently, Nian Sulan’s face was red and her head was hanging incredibly low.

Leng Jun Yu’s silence was giving Nian Sulan so much anxiety. Right now, her hands could not stop fidgeting with the silk handkerchief on her lap.

As for Le Yao Yao, her eyes were tightly on Leng Jun Yu. She wanted to know how the King of Hell was going to respond.

If he agreed, the Dowager Empress will definitely not miss this opportunity to bestow Nian Sulan to him.

The moment Le Yao Yao imagined the King of Hell marrying a woman, she felt as if someone was pinching her heart.

So now, everyone present had their eyes on Leng Jun Yu except for Dongfang Bai.

When Dongfang Bai noticed the unstable expression on Le Yao Yao’s face, his heart was in pain.

Was she nervous right now?

Why is Yu the one she likes?

Why couldn’t he have met her sooner?

Dongfang Bai was depressed. He poured himself a cup of wine and drank it down in one gulp to hide the sourness he was experiencing.

“Grandma Empress, your grandson has no intentions of starting a family right now.”

Leng Jun Yu’s voice was light, but he sounded very firm and certain.

Hearing this, the Dowager Empress seemed to be upset. “Yu’er, you’re no longer young. You’re going to have to start a family sooner or later. You’re….”

Before the Dowager Empress could continue, Leng Jun Yu cut her off. “Grandma Empress, if starting a family is something that must be done sooner or later, why must we discuss about it now?”

“Yu’er, is it because there is no woman you’re interested in?”

The Dowager Empress was so direct that everyone became dead silent. They were all waiting for Leng Jun Yu’s reply; especially Nian Sulan.

After all, she had loved this man for so many years. She had always dreamt of the day she would become his wife. But this man never once turned his eyes on her. Why!?
