At this moment, Yan Li did not notice Wen Yichu's strange behavior. She rested her chin on one hand, and with the other hand, her fingers lightly tapped the table, as if she were considering something. After pausing for a moment, she slowly spoke:
"He's very funny."
"I want to meet him and see if he's just as interesting in person."
How can someone have such a good memory, like a human-machine interface, even more outrageous than a human-machine interface? Hundreds of thousands of words can be written down from memory without even being spoken.
Yan Li's curiosity at this moment undoubtedly laid an excellent opportunity for her to eliminate outsiders in the future.
"interesting?"
Wen Yichu carefully savored those two words, as well as Yan Li's following sentence, "If Ali finds him interesting after meeting him, what should she do to him?"
At this point, he was already showing signs of gritting his teeth.
Looking at Yan Li in front of him, his hand, hidden under the table, began to stir again, wanting to bring his wife into his Eastern Palace as soon as possible.
In this way, those nobodies outside won't dare to use tricks to attract her attention.
Yan Li, who was being stared at, felt a chill run down her spine. She looked up and saw that Wen Yichu's expression was still normal, with a slight smile in her eyes. There seemed to be nothing wrong with her.
She looked behind her and happened to see the open window. Just then, a gust of wind blew by, scattering leaves all over the ground and bringing in a cool breeze.
"The weather's about to change again." Ignoring the question, Yan Li got up and closed the window, then asked casually, "Does Your Highness wish to return now?"
"If this rain gets heavier later, it will be difficult to get back."
She turned around and realized that the room had become much darker after the window was closed, and she even felt a little dazed when she looked at Wen Yichu.
Why does he seem to be in a bad mood?
Because of her order to leave?
With less bright light, Yan Li felt that the person had become much darker, like a lurking beast with a fierce glint in his eyes.
But looking at the sky, it looked like a heavy rain was about to fall, but no one knew when it would start or when it would end.
"Has the Prime Minister's residence become so poor that it doesn't even have extra umbrellas?"
Wen Yichu still couldn't shake her occasional sharp tongue and meanness. Hearing such an insincere reason for asking her to leave, she became even more unrestrained, even picking up the teapot next to her and shaking it as she spoke:
"Surely there should be some tea."
Seeing that Wen Yichu had no intention of leaving, Yan Li naturally didn't urge her to leave. However, just as she had asked someone to bring a fresh pot of tea and sit down, the woman spoke again.
“Ali has not yet answered my question.”
Wen Yichu raised her eyes slightly, "What does Ali want to do to that interesting boss?"
"Why don't you tell me? Once I find it, I can do it for you directly, saving Ali the trouble."
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, Yan Li would have really wanted to rack her brains to see if this was just her imagination.
Although Wen Yichu spoke with utmost sincerity and neither servility nor arrogance, she always felt that he didn't seem to want to help her, but rather seemed to want to get rid of that boss.
No way, could it be that the employer did something to offend him?
The only reason she wanted to see this employer was to confirm whether the outsider was indeed him; she didn't want to inadvertently harm anyone else.
Yan Li looked up at Wen Yichu, and Wen Yichu looked back at her. For a moment, the two of them stared at each other in silence.
It wasn't until the pot of fresh tea was brought up that Yan Li came back to her senses and slowly said, "There's no need to trouble Your Highness, I can manage on my own."
“But I don’t find it troublesome.” After being rejected, Wen Yichu paused, then found another reason.
"There are some things that would be more convenient for me to handle than for Ali."
To be able to open such a teahouse in Chong'an City and keep one's identity a secret from others, even though he only found a few clues, is no small feat.
"I need to see him first before I know what I want to do." Yan Li understood Wen Yichu's meaning, but still didn't change her mind:
"Perhaps it's not as complicated as Your Highness thinks."
"After all, I might lose interest after meeting him once."
After she finished speaking, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in her lowered eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
outside the house.
The rain finally came, the raindrops pattering against the roof tiles and hitting the ground, making people uneasy.
The dense raindrops fell on the ground, and soon the low-lying areas were filled with water, which mixed with the soil and instantly became filthy.
A few green leaves fell into the puddle and swirled with each raindrop.
The curtains hanging in the corridor fluttered wildly in the wind, the trees in the courtyard rustled, and the sky grew even darker.
It was a beautiful, sunny day not long ago.
No one knew when the dark cloud overhead would dissipate; they all took shelter under the eaves to avoid the rain, hurriedly found dry clothes to change into, and then peered outside, sighing silently.
This is the third rainstorm of the month.
As expected, another place is likely to experience flooding.
"Your Highness, let's return to the palace earlier today." Yan Li got up again, preparing to open the window, only to find that the wood was already soaked with moisture.
Wen Yichu also stood up at this moment, went to Yan Li's seat, and looked out the window.
Outside the window, the rain showed no sign of letting up; instead, it continued relentlessly, like rolling beads, as if the entire sky were covered by a veil as thin as a cicada's wing.
It was foggy.
This rain is really ridiculously heavy today; holding an umbrella probably won't be of much use. "Do you have a raincoat?"
Yan Li nodded slightly. "Yes."
Not long after she summoned Huixiang, she brought over a raincoat, and Steward Li also rushed over after learning that His Highness the Crown Prince was still at the residence.
"Your Highness, a carriage has been prepared for you at your residence. Would you like to return directly to the palace?"
As he asked, he noticed that His Highness the Crown Prince had changed into a raincoat, and Steward Li felt a little relieved.
Wen Yichu: "Return to the palace."
Yan Li looked at the incessant rain and watched Wen Yichu's departing figure, then sighed: "I told you it would rain, but you wouldn't believe me."
With the umbrella outstretched, we walked two miles, and were completely soaked.
At best, it only protects your brain from getting waterlogged.
"Miss, it's chilly outside, let's go inside." Fennel said softly as she approached the young lady standing in the corridor.
Yan Li nodded, returned to her room, closed the window, and picked up the storybook she was reading.
Indeed, this kind of weather is the perfect match for Liaozhai.
