Chapter 270: Chapter 268: The Young Mistress Smiled (Extra 10)
Especially upon seeing the harmonious coexistence of his two wives, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel extrely proud.
If such a situation were to be placed in future generations, it would be unthinkable.
And just at that mont, suddenly, his gaze fell upon another person; a maid standing to the side also caught his eye.
Upon seeing her, he imdiately retracted his previous thought.
For within this room, there were not only his two wives, but three, including Xiao Xiao among them.
Thinking of this, he imdiately shook his head; no, not just three, there was another one above the beams.
All four of his wives, big and small, were surprisingly gathered together.
And their deanor was of such harmony.
Indeed, there was an air of big friends offering little respect.
“Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Shall it be served now?”
Lin Yi approached after pushing the door open, directly addressing the young Emperor. The Emperor nodded in response, and in a mont’s ti, the table in the Imperial Room was filled with various dishes.
Yes, they were dining in the Imperial Study Room; for convenience sake, the young Emperor would often do so, rather than moving to the formal dining chamber, which would only waste his ti.
More often than not, he would have the al brought straight to the Imperial Study Room, where a dining table had been specially arranged for this purpose.
When the al arrived, Xiao Xiao imdiately began to serve the Emperor and Empress, while Lin Yi took the opportunity to slip over to a corner of the Imperial Study Room, out of sight of the Empress.
However, the Empress might not see him, but the Emperor could see all his movents.
The Emperor beca curious as he saw this man run off to a corner of the Imperial Study Room.
Wondering what kind of trick he was up to, the Emperor’s gaze drifted towards Lin Yi from ti to ti.
Lin Yi, upon reaching the corner, looked up towards the beam and even gestured with his hand.
Only at this mont did the Emperor realize that this fellow was signaling Ying Yi.
Indeed, this spot was very close to where Ying Yi was positioned, and by chance, Ying Yi would always pass through here.
However, due to Ying Yi’s concealed location, even standing at Lin Yi’s spot, Ying Yi remained invisible.
But Lin Yi believed that Ying Yi could definitely see him at this mont.
Actually, that was the case; Ying Yi’s position was very peculiar. Those below could not see her, yet she could clearly observe the entire Imperial Study Room, including all the doors and windows.
Ying Yi, seeing Lin Yi beckoning from below, couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Unsure what Lin Yi was seeking her out for, especially while the Empress was present, this fellow was really daring.
Torn between ignoring him or not, but seeing his grinning deanor, she felt sowhat reluctant to harden her heart.
Despite Ying Yi often appearing cold and detached, it didn’t an that she didn’t care about Lin Yi; her cold deanor made him cherish Lin Yi even more.
It was just that her identity and actions had shaped such an emotionally distant character.
Moreover, Ying Yi’s status was so low that she wasn’t able to express her feelings openly.
As Lin Yi stood there gesturing towards Ying Yi’s location, the Emperor’s gaze occasionally drifted in that direction, curious as to what he might be doing.
But fearing that the Empress would notice sothing, she did not look directly, only keeping watch out of the corner of her eye.
Finally, as Lin Yi continued to beckon, Ying Yi realized that if she didn’t show herself, he wouldn’t leave, leading her to reluctantly glide down in front of Lin Yi. Then, her beautiful eyes coldly gazed at Lin Yi as if inquiring what he wanted by calling her down.
However, upon Ying Yi’s arrival, Lin Yi did not speak but instead reached into his chest and rummaged around.
Shortly after, he pulled out a package wrapped in oiled paper.
Without another word, he cramd it directly into Ying Yi’s hands.
And this scene left Ying Yi dumbfounded, in a daze right there and then.
Even when Lin Yi stuffed the oil-paper package into her hands, Ying Yi instinctively accepted it.
In that mont of stupor, that scoundrel actually strode forward quickly, stepping up to lightly kiss her through the veil.
Imdiately afterward, Lin Yi lowered his voice, whispering in her ear:
“I specially snuck this out for you, eat it while it’s hot.”
Although it was through a veil, Ying Yi still felt a tickle on her lips.
Her usually cold face instantly flushed crimson.
She then hurriedly scuttled up to the top of the fire room’s beams in a flurry.
By the ti Ying Yi got back on the beam, her face was still extrely hot.
Even her usual stable breathing quickened a bit.
She had never anticipated that this guy would make such a move, to call her down during the Emperor and Empress’s al, and even kiss her.
Such a daring act made her heart thump wildly.
But the upward curve of her eyes revealed that deep down, she wasn’t repelled.
Instead, she found it sowhat amusing.
What a bold guy indeed.
When she ca back to her senses and looked at the oil-paper package in her hands again, she felt an inner sweetness.
This was truly the first ti soone had cared for her like this.
Soone had been this good to her.
This made the usually cold Ying Yi’s eyes slightly redden.
At the sa ti, she felt that all her efforts had been worthwhile.
Gentle unwrapped the oil-paper package, there were two glistening chicken legs inside.
She gently removed her veil, and a stunningly beautiful face was revealed.
Taking a bite, Ying Yi felt it was the best thing she had ever eaten in her life.
But after just a few bites, Ying Yi suddenly paused.
Sothing seed to cross her mind.
Subsequently, her gaze instinctively shifted towards the dining table of His Majesty.
After searching around, she indeed spotted a plate of roast chicken on the table.
Looking at the roast chicken, then looking at the two chicken legs in her hands,
Ying Yi couldn’t help but laugh outright.
That usually aloof and cool face, with the flicker of a fleeting smile, could absolutely captivate all souls.
It’s just a pity that right now, she was the only one here.
