Chapter 261 It can’t be that my martial arts have improved recently!
At this time, Lan Xiyue was sitting in the study of the Regent's Palace. She was frantically earning points.
After earning 2,000 points, Mo Yifan came and she was forced to stop earning points and looked at him unkindly.
Mo Liyuan looked at Mo Yifan coldly, "What are you doing here?" This inconsiderate guy actually came to disturb him and Yueyue's time alone.
Mo Yifan walked to a chair nearby and sat down, completely ignoring the murderous gazes of the two men that were almost tangible, his face filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.
"Little Uncle, Little Aunt, do you know? The high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital are now scrambling to buy ice from the Tianxiang Restaurant. They've actually made a small fortune in the ice business. Because the restaurant has a large supply of ice, those who come to eat and drink invariably rave about its coolness. Talented men and beautiful women are there reciting poems and composing couplets. As a result, the restaurant's profits have increased several times over previous summers."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue turned her gaze to Mo Liyuan and asked, "Tianxiang Restaurant is also your business?"
Mo Yifan was surprised when he heard this: "Little Imperial Aunt, Little Imperial Uncle hasn't told you yet? Tianxiang Restaurant is indeed Little Imperial Uncle's property."
Mo Liyuan glanced at Mo Yifan coldly, his eyes seemed to say: "Stop talking!"
Mo Yifan knew he had spoken out of turn, curled his lips, and muttered softly: "I didn't know you hadn't told the little aunt yet."
Mo Liyuan turned to look at Lan Xiyue, "Yuer, you didn't ask, but I have a lot of secret businesses, and I can't remember them all. I usually leave them to this guy to take care of."
Mo Yifan's eyes lit up: "That's right, little aunt, every time you pursued the prince, you chased him to the Tianxiang Restaurant. Every time the prince ate and drank at the Tianxiang Restaurant, you generously said that it would be put on your account..."
Before he could finish his words, Mo Liyuan's face had turned as gloomy as water. The teacup in his hand shattered with a sound, and the fragments flew everywhere. The air was filled with tension and depression.
Mo Yifan then realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut his mouth.
Lan Xiyue looked at the broken teacup on the table and Mo Liyuan's nonchalant look as he wiped his hands with a handkerchief. The corners of her mouth twitched. This happened so long ago, and this guy is still jealous?
Lan Xiyue quickly smoothed things over and said, "That was a long time ago. I was blind before and didn't understand love. It was only after I met you, Mo Liyuan, that I finally understood what love is."
Mo Liyuan's expression brightened when he heard this. Mo Yifan looked at him and shook his head. It turned out that the little uncle was easy to coax.
Mo Liyuan's gaze was as sharp as a sword unsheathed, and he glanced at him, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Mo Yifan, however, seemed unconcerned by the sharp gaze. He chuckled, his face full of curiosity and amusement. "Little Uncle, what were you doing last night?"
Mo Liyuan raised his brows slightly, but did not answer.
Mo Yifan shook his head. "Alas! Little uncle, can't you just let my father take over? You had to make such a big noise, making him even more wary of you."
Mo Liyuan snorted coldly, "He deserves it!" These three words were brief but powerful, revealing his deep dissatisfaction and disdain for that person.
Mo Yifan spread his hands, his eyes full of helplessness: "Father deserves it, but what about the Empress Dowager? She is old and still worried about you two."
Mo Liyuan's eyelids fluttered slightly, and he finally uttered, "My mother asked you to come!"
Mo Yifan was speechless when he heard this. "Hey! You said you dismantled the Imperial Observatory yesterday and blew up my father's bedroom at night. It's obvious it was you. Little uncle, can't you be more discreet?"
Mo Liyuan's voice became colder: "When do I need to hide what I want to do? I am not like him, stabbing you in the back." These words were like a sharp blade in the cold wind, pointing directly at the hidden conspiracy and calculation.
Seeing this, Mo Yifan knew that if he continued talking, the little uncle would really throw him out. So, he changed the subject: "Little uncle, the grandmother wants to see the little aunt."
Mo Liyuan answered without hesitation: "Tell mother that Yue'er is busy recently."
Lan Xiyue, who was standing beside her, raised her eyebrows slightly. The Queen Mother wanted to see her? She didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Mo Yifan stood up and bowed to Mo Liyuan: "Okay, I've delivered my message anyway." After he finished speaking, he turned to Lan Xiyue and smiled: "Little aunt, I'm leaving first. I won't disturb you from continuing your love affair with the little uncle." After speaking, he rushed out as fast as a rabbit.
At the same time, there was a loud noise and a chair hit the door frame, breaking into pieces and falling to the ground.
Mo Yifan turned around and patted his chest, "It was almost like that. I would have had to stay in bed for a few months."
Tianyi said calmly at the door: "Third Prince, if the master had not shown mercy, would you still be safe and sound?"
"You kid, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak casually. It can't be that my martial arts have improved recently, huh!" After saying that, Mo Yifan strode away.
Mo Liyuan waved his sleeves lightly and beckoned, "Yuer, come here."
Lan Xiyue stood up upon hearing this and slowly walked towards Mo Liyuan.
Mo Liyuan pulled her to sit on his lap, and the distance between them was so close that they could hear each other's breathing.
Mo Liyuan gently put his arm around her slender waist, and with his other hand he unconsciously picked up the rice paper and ink brush on the table and began to sketch on the paper.
Lan Xiyue put her arms around his neck and started to earn points again. After a long while, Lan Xiyue stopped chattering.
System: "Congratulations, host. Your total points are now 147,590."
Lan Xiyue watched as Mo Liyuan continued to draw. He was drawing her, and the surrounding environment was the scenery from their last boat trip. It had to be said that the drawing was really beautiful.
A hint of cunning flashed in Lan Xiyue's eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"System, redeem a large ice cream."
System: "Exchange successful. One thousand points deducted. The host now has one hundred and forty-six thousand five hundred and ninety points."
An ice cream emitting an enticing chill suddenly appeared in Lan Xiyue's hands.
Lan Xiyue opened the box, picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful, and put it into Mo Liyuan's mouth.
Mo Liyuan's body paused slightly. He lowered his head and looked at the thing in Lan Xiyue's hand with deep eyes.
