Chapter 119 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
"Ah!"
In the quiet courtyard, Le Yan, who was basking in the sun, couldn't help but sneeze.
Xiao Lanyi, who was chopping wood to prepare a fire for cooking, was so startled that she dropped her axe and rushed over.
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold from the wind?"
Xiao Lanyi was flustered, grabbing Le Yan's hand to take her pulse and then grabbing the cloak hanging nearby to wrap Le Yan up completely.
He felt that this was not enough, so he immediately carried her into the house.
He said gently, "Qingqing, it's getting windy now, shall we go inside?"
Le Yan was bewildered by his series of actions. It took her a while to come to her senses. She quickly grabbed his hand and stopped him, saying, "No need, no need. It's just that someone is thinking of me. I'm not cold."
念？
Having precisely identified the word, Xiao Lanyi narrowed her eyes dangerously.
He's already given Xiao Qi so many things to do, how can he still have time to think about his Qingqing?
Looks like there's not enough work to do.
Xiao Lanyi clenched her fingers, a dark emotion surging within her.
When facing Leyan, he hid it all again, and said with a gentle expression, "Even if you haven't caught a cold, it's getting windy now, shall we go inside?"
Feeling a bit chilly, Le Yan pulled her cloak tighter around herself before nodding. "Alright, I'll go in first then."
Before she finished speaking, she tried to get off the rocking chair and go inside by herself.
But Xiao Lanyi simply picked him up around the waist and said, "I'll carry you back."
He hugged her directly, and Leyan accepted it quickly.
There's nothing she can do; this person hugs her every day, so she has to get used to it whether she likes it or not.
During the ten days or so she spent in this small courtyard, if she had any other choice, Xiao Lanyi would have loved to eat for her, bathe for her, and sleep for her.
He took care of everything, hoping she would be obedient and stay still, letting him serve her.
He truly did everything on his own. He used to be someone who never lifted a finger, but after meeting her, he had to cook his own meals, make his own bed, and wash his own clothes.
Looking at him, Le Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this man truly had the demeanor of a virtuous husband and loving father.
Le Yan was gently placed on the soft couch. Just as she adjusted to a comfortable position, a brand-new storybook was placed in her hand, and various pastries and fruits were laid out on the table.
She looked up and saw Xiao Lanyi speaking gently, "Qingqing, you can kill some time first. I'll go start a fire and cook. We'll be able to eat soon."
He used to wholeheartedly agree with the idea that a wise man should stay away from the kitchen, but now he scoffs at it.
Compared to cooking for your loved one, all those grand principles can be completely ignored.
Xiao Lanyi happily went back to chop wood. Le Yan watched his cheerful figure and then looked at her own comfortable state, which had been arranged for her, and finally fell into deep thought.
He seems like the kind of man who married a virtuous and beautiful wife, and while she busies herself around, he relaxes with his legs crossed.
The image flashed through Le Yan's mind, and she immediately shivered.
Forgive me, forgive me, she's not that kind of man!
Although she was indeed enjoying Xiao Lanyi's meticulous care.
Le Yan raised her hand to cover her face, feeling her fragile conscience calling out to her to be a decent human being.
After thinking for a moment, she put down the storybook, stood up and walked out of the room, slowly moving behind Xiao Lanyi, who was engrossed in chopping wood.
After standing quietly for a while, she slowly said, "Lanyi, why don't you rest for a bit?"
Xiao Lanyi's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned to look at her, her eyes filled with joy and anticipation, "Qingqing, are you worried about me?"
Letting him rest is because you feel sorry for him working too long and are afraid he'll get too tired.
Xiao Lanyi's thoughts were easy to understand. Le Yan blinked and nodded in agreement, "You don't need to do it yourself. It's too tiring."
It also feels like I brought this on myself.
Le Yan didn't say the rest aloud; she just thought it to herself.
She firmly believed that Xiao Lanyi was simply making trouble out of nothing. Despite having so many subordinates, she insisted on taking on everything herself, as if she were just an ordinary villager living her life.
With her eyes lowered, Le Yan couldn't see the complaints in her heart, and Xiao Lanyi had no interest in looking at them anymore.
He was overjoyed; his beloved Qingqing would finally care about him!
They say that feeling sorry for someone is the beginning of falling in love with them.
Does this mean that his beloved has started to fall in love with him?
Does that mean he's about to win the heart of his beloved and become a married man?!
Xiao Lanyi became more and more excited as he thought about it. His imagination was no longer just about getting married and having children. He had even come up with names for his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!
Excitement coursed through his body, and Xiao Lanyi was both happy and flustered. He was happy that Le Yan felt sorry for him, but flustered because he didn't know what to do next.
It's rare for someone to wholeheartedly love another person; he has very little experience and has to figure it all out on his own.
At this moment, Xiao Lanyi couldn't help but mutter and curse his useless subordinates, who only knew how to plot and scheme to seize the throne and didn't understand anything else!
What a bunch of useless bastards!
After scolding her subordinates, Xiao Lanyi turned her attention back to Le Yan, excitedly sidling up to her, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her without saying a word.
Feeling helpless under his gaze, Le Yan could only raise her hand to push his face away, trying to get him to stop looking at her.
But what she didn't expect was that once the hand was out, it couldn't be taken back.
Xiao Lanyi reacted quickly, grabbing Le Yan's hand tightly before she could pull it back.
Their fingers were intertwined, leaving no gaps.
He was secretly delighted; Qingqing's initiative to touch him meant she loved him even more.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Qingqing, since you feel sorry for me being tired, how about we go out for a walk today?"
Thinking that she had kept the person locked up in this small courtyard for more than ten days, Xiao Lanyi felt both guilty and heartbroken.
His once free and unrestrained Qingqing must be very bored and lonely being locked up here by him!
Fortunately, Xiao Qi has already gone off to fight the alien races and is not in the capital, so even if he takes her out for a walk, it won't attract attention.
Having made up her mind, Xiao Lanyi looked intently at Le Yan.
Le Yan was so shocked by his words that she couldn't come to her senses.
She thought he would keep her locked up forever, but she never expected him to suggest taking her out for a walk.
How could she possibly refuse?
Of course, I'd agree without hesitation!
I should also say, "Lanyi, you're so kind!"
