Chapter 81: Lake Cruise
"Lan Xiyue?"
There was a glint of surprise in Mo Yufeng's eyes. Lan Xiyue usually appeared in front of him with colorful and exaggerated makeup. Now, her eyebrows were like distant mountains with smoke, her eyes were like autumn water, her lips were like cherries with red dots, and her light blue dress swayed in the wind, like a fairy descending to the earth, which was a bright sight.
Mo Yufeng couldn't help but feel secretly proud: Lan Xiyue said that she liked the Regent, but now, in order to attract him, she changed her strategy and appeared in front of him in such stunning outfit. It must be said that Lan Xiyue's outfit was very attractive to him.
Lan Xiyue sneered inwardly. She'd run into that bastard prince again. Last time, he'd played a nasty trick on her and even gotten her into the palace, causing the Empress to become suspicious. How about poisoning him to death and avenge his former master?
No, no, I will definitely be suspected again, and my merits will be deducted for poisoning him. Or should I pretend to leave and stab him in secret?
"Lan Xiyue, did you know that I, the Crown Prince, was boating on the lake today? You deliberately ran into me by chance. I knew that you still couldn't forget me. So, since I'm in a good mood today, I'll allow you to go boating with me."
What? Is this little prince feeling so good about himself that she even deliberately ran into him?
Wait, a boat trip? Lan Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. This bastard prince had invited her. Wasn't this a perfect opportunity? She could kick him into the lake and drown him without anyone noticing. This way, she wouldn't have to use her medical skills, wouldn't lose her merit, and she could still avenge the original owner.
Thinking of this, she curled up the corners of her mouth into a cold smile and nodded in agreement: "Okay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has invited me, how dare Xiyue refuse."
System: "Host, this system advises you not to have such dangerous thoughts. If a crown prince of a country dies, not to mention how sad and suspicious the emperor and empress will be, even the people present will probably be buried with him. Host, don't think that you can just change your appearance and wander around the world. Remember, your life is still in danger before you earn enough points."
"System, how do you know what I'm thinking?" She had wanted to ask before.
System: "This system is now bound to the host, so naturally we can communicate with each other. However, if the host does not want this system to know your thoughts, you can simply block the system."
Lan Xiyue's heart moved, and she quickly said, "Block, block, block immediately!"
The system then emitted a crisp notification sound: "Ding Dong! System blocking successful. From now on, this system will no longer know the host's inner thoughts."
"System, you're right. If we don't kill him, we'll at least make sure he's skinned alive."
System: "As long as the host is happy, just don't get yourself involved."
The system also has its own ambitions - it wants to become a top system in this era of advanced interstellar technology. It wants to become a top system that can completely possess its own consciousness like humans and command other systems. During the day, it can also defeat the main brain and become the leader of interstellar space and time, commanding the entire interstellar space and time.
If Lan Xiyue knew that this system already had a consciousness of its own and had such great ambitions, what would she think?
Mo Yufeng's gaze fell on Lan Xiyue, who was still in a daze, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He was secretly proud of himself. See, just give her a little sweetness and she is so happy that she can't even walk. She even said that she loves the Regent, but she just wants to piss him off and attract his attention. It seems that Lan Xiyue still loves him to death as before.
"Cough!" Mo Yufeng coughed lightly, "Let's go, let's go boating."
Lan Xiyue suddenly came back to her senses, looked up at Mo Yufeng, and a bright smile appeared on her face, "Okay." Just wait and see how I'll deal with you then.
Mo Yufeng was dazzled by her smile and looked at her carefully.
Today, Lan Xiyue is wearing an elegant blue dress, which sets off her skin as white as snow and her eyebrows and eyes as picturesque as a painting. She has a fresh, unworldly, natural and lively beauty.
He even felt that Lan Xiyue's beauty was even better than Lan Lingrou, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Thinking of Lan Xiyue's previous dress, Mo Yufeng couldn't help but shook his head.
Back then, she always wore inappropriate clothing and too much makeup, completely obscuring her natural beauty. No wonder he hadn't noticed her beauty before; it was simply because she was so unsightly.
Thinking of Lan Xiyue's reputation outside, Mo Yufeng's expression dimmed again.
Even though she was beautiful, her reputation was terrible. How could she possibly be worthy of being the Crown Princess? However, being his concubine wasn't out of the question...
Lan Lingrou is gentle and talented, with an imperceptible tenderness between her eyebrows, like the warmest spring breeze, which can easily smooth out the wrinkles in people's hearts. With the Duke of Huguo's Mansion behind her, she is his ideal candidate for the Crown Princess.
Mo Yufeng secretly thought, Lan Xiyue and Lan Lingrou entering the East Palace together to serve him, one on the right and the other on the left, each with their own strengths, wouldn't that be wonderful? A subtle smile curled up the corners of his mouth, and he thought happily.
Lan Xiyue followed beside him, not knowing what the Dog Prince was thinking. If she knew that the Dog Prince had such thoughts, she would definitely curse him. He didn't look good, but he had beautiful thoughts.
The group arrived at the lakeside, and Lan Lingrou stepped forward gracefully, "Rou'er pays respect to the Crown Prince."
Mo Yufeng gave her a false helping hand, "Rou'er, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Lan Lingrou shook her head slightly, a hint of shyness mixed with reserve: "Rou'er has just arrived a while ago. I'm glad that the Crown Prince can come, even if I have to wait a little longer."
When she looked up, her eyes inadvertently swept over Lan Xiyue beside her, and she frowned. She had only paid attention to the prince and had not noticed Lan Xiyue beside him. Damn it! Why did Lan Xiyue come to the lake with the prince?
"Sister, why are you here?"
Lan Xiyue blinked and said innocently, "Why? Second sister doesn't seem to welcome me? But what can I do? The prince invited me here!"
Lan Lingrou suppressed the anger in her eyes and said softly, "No, why wouldn't I welcome you, Big Sister? I'm just curious why you came with the Crown Prince."
Mo Yufeng heard this and smiled meaningfully, "We met by chance on the road. This prince thought she was Rouer's elder sister, so he invited her as well. It would be more lively if the three of us could go boating together, don't you think, Rouer?" He deliberately emphasized the word "encountered by chance".
Lan Lingrou narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this. Could it be that Lan Xiyue was disliked by the Regent, and after learning that she was going boating with the Crown Prince today, she rushed over and started pestering the Crown Prince again?
Although Lan Lingrou was unwilling in her heart, she could only force a smile when she heard the prince say so.
"Well, Your Highness is right."
Lan Lingrou hated Lan Xiyue in her heart. She had thought that she could enjoy the pleasure of boating on the lake with the prince alone and thus bring them closer.
Although her heart had long since shifted to someone else after meeting the Regent, her mother was right. How could she easily win over a figure like the Regent? In contrast, the Crown Prince had a crush on her. If she could become the Crown Princess, she would become the Empress in the future, a position of nobility and honor.
"Let's get on the cruise ship." Mo Yufeng gave an order, and the group walked towards the cruise ship.
Mo Liyuan, hidden in the darkness, took it all in. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
Lan Xiyue! Is this what you call loving me? Is Mo Yufeng already a thing of the past? An indescribable rage welled up in his heart.
Tianyi, Anyi, and An'er watched this scene from afar, and they were all worried about the prince.
They knew their master's temper very well and were afraid that Mo Liyuan would get impulsive and kill the prince with a single blow.
Mo Liyuan took a deep breath and waved his hand. Tianyi immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master?"
Mo Liyuan's voice was cold and low, "Go prepare the boat, I want to cruise the lake."
Tianyi muttered to himself: "Master, if you're so angry, just snatch Miss Lan away from the Crown Prince. Why are you still so eager to go on the boat trip with her? Isn't it disgusting to watch? This is not like your usual self."
But he didn't dare say anything more, so he could only respond and retreat to prepare for the boat trip.
