The Employed Empress 120 Chapter 120: Secret Intentions

Hey, don't let your brain soar out the window. That would be a waste of a good brain!
"Cough! O-of course. That's a common story." Wei Yi Yi tried to continue the conversation as natural as possible. Lease the cute lady realized her sudden blunter and end up embarra.s.sed.
"Ah... but there's a lot of versions... maybe her majesty doesn't know all..."
Wei Yi Yi didn't know what to do when she persists on the subject but Xie Yu's voice turned lower and lower until she looked so depressed.
With all her knowledge from many topics, she believes she can spend a whole day worth of talking. But the empress is such a strong opponent!
She picked the topic most common between them that might interest the Empress which is books.
After expressing her lack of interest but desire to know, wasn't the empress supposed to try to influence her by talking about the good points of reading folktales until she got engrossed on giving a try?
But she just told her she'll send them to them on a later date! What if she doesn't read them and just let them acc.u.mulate dust?!
What Xie Yu didn't account for is the huge difference between asking for a recommendation and borrowing a book.
She threw a random topic after being caught out of guard but that still did not salvage her situation.
Seeing her almost ready to grow mushroom at the corner state, Wei Yi Yi said, "It's already late. Why don't you accompany me for dinner?"
She likes food so cheer her up with food!
Xie Yu indeed got delighted. No, actually, the whole purpose of her visit is to get invited.
Since the start, she's practically and literally just wasting precious time until it got late enough to have dinner!
"Then this sister will impose even more on her majesty," Xie Yu didn't try to act polite and expect to be asked twice. The shadow of a smile on her lips cannot be hidden any longer.
The Empress like to taste different dishes but cannot finish them. She has a tendency to offer them to others then. Since it was something that the empress offered, who wouldn't give her face? Xie Yu found this side of the empress and fell in love. No, she means she loves Wei Yi Yi's wasteful personality. And she loves it even more that she cannot decline.
She wished it would always be like this.
Wei Yi Yi didn't know that she got labeled as a wasteful person just now. Not that she would mind. She did, in fact, searching more reasons for Xie Yu to have her fill.
When Su Mei Fan came a beat later, she found the freeloading Xie Yu contently stuffing food in her mouth.
'Another stuck herself once again to her beloved empress!'
Su Mei Fan was one of the concubines who got labeled as someone who doesn't see mt. tai and would just run inside the empress' chamber. In her case, the servants view her more like a child too innocent to know things.
"Fan'er, come have dinner with us," Wei Yi Yi wasn't even shocked with her sudden appearance.
She looked over at Xie Yu sharing dinner with the empress then decide to act spoiled regardless of someone's presence. "Can Fan'er sit near to big sister?"
"Sit wherever you want."
Su Mei Fan sat almost next to the Empress. Xie Yu's brow rosed. She didn't insult Su Mei Fan this time though.
If she talked, unwanted attention would be drawn. She'll roast Su Mei Fan on a later date about her conduct.
The Empress saw Xie Yu acting her bystander A role once again and no longer called out to her. This girl only talks when she likes it, and she's quite unstopped when she did.
"The place has a really good vide. This is the first time Fan'er experience traveling so far," Su Mei Fan beamed, showing her adorable smile.
"It's good that you're having fun." Because for Wei Yi Yi who knew the comfort of a smooth, well-built national road, the trip could be described simply as purely h.e.l.l. "If you lack anything on your place, just speak up and I'll do my best to a.s.sist you."
"How could I lack anything when it is the empress who prepared them?!" Su Mei Fan exclaimed. The Empress is the most considerate and caring person she knew. Even if the person denies it herself, she'll still blindly believe!
"With the empress by my side, Fan'er is always comfortable, happy and content," Su Mei Fan said. This sweet child gave the listeners cavities from time to time.
Thankfully, no one has put her in a sack yet and kidnapped her.
"I'm glad to hear that." Rather than an empress, Wei Yi Yi sounds more like a customer service agent hearing a good feedback.
"Then, how about we have a look around? We're only here for a short time so let's make the most out of it," the empress suggested. Su Mei Fan nodded her head like a rattle drum while Xie Yu only gave a soft agreeing sound.
Su Mei Fan clapped her hands together and said, "Having a walk after a meal is good. The Empress' ideas are as timely as always."
She never missed the chance to praise the Empress. Her enthusiasm shoots up to the sky as she applauded herself for securing a rare under the moonlight date with Wei Yi Yi.
After making it this far, Su Mei Fan has long erased Xie Yu's presence and has been acting like she's air all along.
