novelLearning from the King of Hell
| ← Ch.179 | Ch.181 → |
Le Yao Yao slept very well the entire night. When she woke up the next morning, she stretched her lazy waist and slowly opened her drowsy eyes.
It was a bright and early. Based on the scenery outside, it should be a very pleasant day.
Thinking of this, the corner of Le Yao Yao's mouth curved into a smile. However, the smile only lasted for a moment. Because, she instantly had flashbacks of last night!
Last night, the King of Hell was carrying her. At the end, she seemed to have gotten sleepy and forgot everything else.
Now, she was back in her room. Does that mean the King of Hell carried her all the way home?
Although it was late at night, there were still training guards at the residence. There were also eunuchs and guards on their night shifts.
Does the King of Hell seriously not care about how others see him? She's merely a eunuch!
So now, Le Yao Yao's brows were crinkled and she looked stressed. But her stomach began to rumble. Hence, she decided eating was her first priority.
After all, she must fill her stomach before she could have energy to deal with problems, right?
So, Le Yao Yao quickly got ready and then headed over to help the King of Hell prepare for the Imperial Court.
Perhaps it was because the King of Hell carried her back, she couldn't help but blush and lower her face when she saw him. The whole time she was helping him brush his long hair and dress, she never once looked up at his face.
When Le Yao Yao was finally done, she quietly whispered, "Prince Rui, servant has finished."
"Mm."
Leng Jun Yu slowly stood up. At this moment, Le Yao Yao noticed everything was dimmer. The King of Hell had stood in front of her and blocked all the sunlight.
So, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but look up to see what he was doing.
Since Leng Jun Yu's back was against the window, the bright sunlight was shining from behind him. It looked as if there was a golden halo surrounding him.
Le Yao Yao sighed. Leng Jun Yu looked like an Immortal God.
While Le Yao Yao was sighing, Leng Jun Yu suddenly laughed."This Prince thought you did not dare to look at me."
The King of Hell's eyes were too skillful. He noticed something so insignificant. Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao's cheeks felt like they were burning.
"Servant.... servant..... servant..."
Le Yao Yao said servant multiple times, but couldn't figure out how to respond. At the end, she decided to keep her mouth shut.
Why is it that she always stuttered when facing the King of Hell? Ugh.
Leng Jun Yu laughed again. Then, his low and raspy voice rang.
"Let's go. Accompany this Prince to attend to his breakfast now."
"Eh? Oh. Ok."
Leng Jun Yu was already quite ahead of her. Le Yao Yao had no choice but to quicken her steps as she followed along.
Breakfast was already prepared ahead of time. The chief manager stood on the side and reported all the news to Leng Jun Yu. Then, he dismissed himself.
But just before the chief manager left, he gave Le Yao Yao a powerful, prolonged gaze. It made Le Yao Yao felt very uncomfortable.
She hadn't done anything bad lately, right?! Why was the chief manager giving her a look?
Anyhow, after the King of Hell finished his breakfast, it was her turn to fill her stomach. Then, she returned back to Ya Feng Ge.
However, on her way back, Le Yao Yao noticed that the King of Hell standing underneath the white jade pavilion with his back facing towards her.
At first, Le Yao Yao thought she was hallucinating. After all, at this time, the King of Hell should be on his way to the Imperial Court. Why would he be here?
Perhaps the King of Hell could sense Le Yao Yao's gaze, suddenly, he turned around to face her. He chuckled deeply and gestured Le Yao Yao to come over.
"Come here."
"Ok..."
Le Yao Yao assumed something unexpected had occurred. That was why the King of Hell didn't leave for the Imperial Court. Surprisingly, when she entered the pavilion, Leng Jun Yu asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to learn how to play the guqin? This Prince will teach you today."
"What?"
Does this mean he purposely stayed behind to teach her how to play the guqin? What about the country's affairs?
It was as if Leng Jun Yu could read Le Yao Yao's mind. He continued, "There hasn't been anything significant that requires my immediate attention. The others can take care of the rest."
Le Yao Yao swept her eyes across the area and noticed a jade guqin was placed on the table in the middle of the pavilion. It wasn't there in the past.
With one look, she could tell that the guqin was worth more than a city. The King of Hell was truly the King of Hell. Everything he owned were out of this world!
While she was thinking, Leng Jun Yu swung the lower part of his robe and sat down in front of the guqin.
Thinking back, Le Yao Yao had never heard Leng Jun Yu play the guqin. When she first arrived the residence, she accidentally overheard him play the flute though.
She wondered whether the King of Hell had better skills than Dongfang Bai?!
So, Le Yao Yao stood on one side to observe and listen.
Leng Jun Yu's right hand began to swept over the instrument and elegant music began to pour out from his fingertips.
It sounded like running water; unhurried and low, yet elegant and smooth. It had the ability to make the listener feel intoxicated.
But suddenly, the elegant music changed and everything sounded very intense and passionate. It was comparable to the distressed cries of a wild bird. It was deeply moving.
By now, Le Yao Yao's eyes were wide open as she continued to be mesmerized by the man in front of her.
Deep down, she thought to herself, the guqin truly represented the player. The sounds that come out varied from individual to individual.
Leng Jun Yu finished and the breeze shook the flowers. The fragrance of flowers lingered in the air.
"Wow! That was amazing!" Le Yao Yao exclaimed and clapped enthusiastically. The song was so powerful that she will never forget it.
Her heart was beating loudly while her blood was surging. She never knew that music had the ability to make someone so emotional.
There was no point in comparing Dongfang Bai's skills with the King of Hell's skills. Their personalities were opposites of each other, so the way they interpret music were completely different. They were both marvelous in their own ways.
Leng Jun Yu waved his arm and made eye contact with her, "Come sit here."
Then, he lightly patted next to him.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao was hesitant. After all, the seat that Leng Jun Yu was sitting on was spacious for one but it wasn't made for two.
Yet, the King of Hell wanted her to sit next to him. Uh....
"If we sit together, this Prince can teach you when you're struggling."
Seeing how serious Leng Jun Yu was, Le Yao Yao thought she must be overthinking. After all, he was the almighty respectable King of Hell. If he didn't mind her being a little eunuch, why should she mind so much?
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao nodded and went over to sit next to the King of Hell.
This was the first time she had ever sat so close to the King of Hell. The moment she sat down, it was as if the seat had shrunk. Their butts were practically sticking next to each other. In addition, Leng Jun Yu's ambergris scent immediately surrounded her.
The familiar scent of Leng Jun Yu caused Le Yao Yao's heartbeat to quicken. She couldn't help but felt anxious.
Perhaps Leng Jun Yu could sense the tension, he gave her a sideway glance and stated, "Relax. The most important thing about learning the guqin is to keep a stable heart. If you're going to freak out, you won't be able to learn."
Leng Jun Yu's words made sense. So Le Yao Yao took a deep breath and altered her mood. Then, she turned her head to look at the man that was only a few centimeters away from her.
"Mm. Prince Rui, we can begin!"
Although initially Le Yao Yao was scared half to death, gradually, she began to feel more comfortable with the King of Hell. She realized that the King of Hell could be a very good teacher too...
So, they remained in the white jade pavilion for the entire morning.
But when it was almost noon, the King of Hell was ordered by the Emperor to enter the Palace. So, Le Yao Yao decided to go eat lunch at the cafeteria.
Since Le Yao Yao had no idea when the King of Hell was going to return, after she was fully stuffed, she went to tidy Ya Feng Ge. Then, she decided to take an afternoon nap.
Unexpectedly, when she returned to her room, she remembered something and quickly shut the windows. She laid on the bed and took out the wooden box from underneath her bed.
