Adorable Food Goddess

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but laugh, Mrs. Yongninghou spoke so quickly, it was quite fun.

Zhao Qixuan said: "Mom, go and prepare dinner. I'm hungry. At the door of the dessert house, I only smelled the fragrance and didn't eat anything."

Mrs. Yongninghou said with a smile: "You deserve it. The store rules are hanging at the door, didn't you see it?"

Then he said to Ye Jiayao: "It's rare for you to come, so I will stay here to eat today. You are not allowed to refuse."

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders."

After sending Mrs. Yongning Hou away, Zhao Qixuan winked at Ye Jiayao and said deliberately: "This is your first time back. Our back garden is the only one in Jinling City. Do you want to visit it?"

Ye Jiayao understood and followed the good advice: "Okay!"

The two of them walked to the garden one after another. Qiao Xi followed them and stopped at the corridor. She knew that the second young mistress had something to say with Prince Yongning.

Through the nine-curved corridor, we came to a waterside pavilion. The view here is wide and quiet, so there is no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping.

Zhao Qixuan said: "Su Su and I will go to Nanshan to soak in the hot springs tomorrow."

Ye Jiayao was confused. Is it necessary to come here to say this?

Seeing her confusion, Zhao Qixuan said, "I heard that the emperor has been depressed recently, and Concubine Shu suggested that she go to the Nanshan Palace to rest for a few days. It just so happens that I have a villa there."

An idea suddenly came to Ye Jiayao's mind, and immediately her heart suddenly rose to her throat. A possibility came to mind, but looking at Zhao Qixuan's solemn expression, he became more and more sure of his guess.

They are about to take action and implement that bold plan.

The heartbeat accelerates uncontrollably, like a drum beating on a high mountain, thump thump thump…

"Has everything been well planned?" Ye Jiayao felt her voice was a little shaky.

Zhao Qixuan said: "It has been deduced countless times. Whether it can succeed in one fell swoop depends on God's will."

Ye Jiayao didn't know what to say. Now that her best friends were involved, she felt like a grasshopper was tied to a rope. They were in the same boat of life and death.

"Do you need my help?" Ye Jiayao forced herself to calm down and asked.

This idea came from her. Although Chunyu was not in Jinling, he must have made some arrangements.

"No, even if things don't work out, Su Su and I are sure to stay out of it. You don't have to worry, just go about your own business." Zhao Qixuan said.

Hearing what he said, Ye Jiayao felt more at ease, but be sure not to bring people in, so as to leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood.

"Then...be careful yourselves." Ye Jiayao took out the banknote and gave it to him.

"This is 800,000 taels of silver notes. The 600,000 taels are to be paid back to you. The rest is up to you."

There is no need to say anything between friends, just absolute trust.

Zhao Qixuan took it: "Then I'm not polite. To be honest, I'm really short of money now. As long as the remaining two hundred thousand can be solved satisfactorily, I can buy all the shops and land for you when I return to the south next year." .”

Ye Jiayao understands that what they have to do now not only consumes manpower, but also financial resources. It is difficult to move without money. This is why she is eager to spend all her savings. Money must be used wisely.

As long as the disadvantage is reversed, there are plenty of opportunities to make money.

After talking about the business, Ye Jiayao gathered her cloak, took a deep breath, and looked at the gorgeous sunset on the horizon like a colorful tapestry. The dusk in Jinling was so beautiful. It would be great if it could always be so peaceful and peaceful.

A breeze blew by, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the pond.

"Is this the lotus pond you fell into?" Ye Jiayao asked with a smile.

The corners of Zhao Qixuan's mouth twitched again and again, and he looked at Ye Jiayao speechlessly: "It's too painful to look back on the past, can we say something happy?"

Ye Jiayao chuckled and said, "Then what do you want to say?"

"I want to join the club, and I want to go to the dessert house to eat." Zhao Qixuan said seriously.

Uh... Damn, you are so persistent!

"Okay, when you're done, Ye's Dessert House will be closed for a day just to entertain you as a distinguished guest." Ye Jiayao also said simply.

Only then did Zhao Qixuan smile: "That's pretty much it, there's Susu too!"

Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing, and of course Su Su, the two of them were inseparable now.

From a distance, she saw someone coming this way. Ye Jiayao recognized it as the maid next to Mrs. Yongning Hou, and she probably came to ask them to eat.

The two looked at each other and walked back in tacit agreement.

When we returned from Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, it was already dark. As soon as we entered the courtyard, Xiang Tao came up to us excitedly: "Second Young Mistress, there is a letter from the Crown Prince."

Ye Jiayao was overjoyed and said eagerly: "Really? Where is the letter? Show it to me quickly."

Xiangtao took out the letter and handed it to her, but there were two letters.

"There is another letter from Yangzhou."

Ye Jiayao hurriedly entered the room, sat down, and couldn't wait to open Chunyu's letter and read it.

"Yao Yao, everything is fine here. I just miss you and worry about things at home... You have to be good and take good care of your body. Don't forget to eat when you get busy. Don't write lectures too late at night. , don’t lose weight, wait for my return in peace and contentment, don’t reply, I will change places tomorrow, I won’t receive it...Chun Yushang.”

The letter was not long, but it contained deep care. Ye Jiayao pressed the letter to her chest, feeling warm and warm in her heart.

This time Chunyu went to Jiangxi, saying that he was going to suppress bandits. Ye Jiayao kept comforting herself that Chunyu was experienced in the battlefield, had strategy, courage, and extraordinary martial arts. A few bandits were not a piece of cake? But she still couldn't help but worry. These days, there are no phones, no Internet, and people are away from home. All communication must be through letters, which is too inconvenient.

He carefully folded the letter, put it in the box and put it away, and then opened it to read the letter from Yangzhou.

It was written by Zhongyuan. First, he told Ye Binghuai that he planned to advance the wedding date to the end of the year, and secondly, Jin Yao was getting engaged to a silly son who participated in politics in Yangzhou. Jin Yao tried to commit suicide once, but failed. Zhong Yuan was still staying in the mountain to observe his filial piety, but he couldn't help even if he wanted to. He also asked his eldest sister to ask for a favor for Jin Yao for the sake of brotherhood. Jin Yao made many mistakes. After all, she was still young. Give her a Jin Yao will be grateful for the opportunity to change his life, and he will also be grateful to the eldest sister for the rest of his life... Also, there has been no news about the second sister. I wonder if the eldest sister knows the whereabouts of the second sister...

Ye Jiayao fell into deep thought after reading Zhong Yuan's letter.

Everything was as she expected. Without Ning's protection, the fate waiting for Jinyao would be so unbearable, but who made Jinyao do those things? It’s your own fault, who’s to blame?

However, Zhongyuan's words moved her, which was wrong because she was still young after all.

Do you want to help me with this? Ye Jiayao hesitated.

It has been so long since the incident happened, and the hatred and anger in Ye Jiayao's heart have gradually faded away. Do we really want Jinyao to use her life's happiness to repay the mistakes she has made?

Is it too harsh?

Ye Jiayao thought for a long time and asked Qiao Xi to study the ink and write a letter to Ye Binghuai.

She only helped this time and hoped that Jinyao would take care of herself.

As for Ye Binghuai's renewal, she no longer wanted to worry about it. The only person she still cared about in this family was Zhong Yuan. It is rare to have a child who is sensible and motivated.

After writing Ye Binghuai's letter, Ye Jiayao wrote another one to Zhong Yuan.

She told him that the days of keeping filial piety were hard, that he should pay attention to his health, and not fall behind on his homework. He would still reserve his place in the Imperial College, and when he came back next year, he would tell him Jin Rong's whereabouts, and that Bao'er was now being raised by her, and so on.

Finally, I wanted to write a letter to Chunyu, but thinking that he had left his original place and could not receive the letter, I had to hide all the words in my heart.

Three days later, I heard that the emperor had gone to the Nanshan Palace.

Ye Jiayao's heart has been hanging.

In the Nanshan Palace, the emperor leaned on the dragon couch and read the memorial, frowning from time to time. It was obvious that the content of the memorial made Long Xin unhappy.

Concubine Shu came in with longan, lotus seeds and wolfberry soup. She smiled gently and said softly: "Your Majesty, take a rest! She said she came to the palace to recuperate, but she is even more tired than in the palace."

The emperor put down his pen, rubbed his swollen brain, and sighed: "The state affairs are busy. In the past, the prince shared the burden, but now..."

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "What really worries the emperor is the prince's matter! Since there is no evidence, the emperor should not accuse the prince unjustly. The prince has always been steady, benevolent and filial, and the courtiers have great expectations for the prince. The prince should not be so imprudent."

On the surface, these words sounded like they were saying good things for the prince, but the fact that the courtiers had great expectations for the prince really hit the emperor's sore spot. The prince's prestige is increasing, which is a good thing but not a good thing. It is precisely because of the support of the courtiers that the prince has other ideas. The prince is under house arrest. Some courtiers even risked their lives to remonstrate. Those idiots at the Yushitai actually want to learn from the sages. He was threatened with death by being thrown into the golden palace.

"What do you know? The absence of evidence does not mean that there is no such thing." The emperor said displeased.

Concubine Shu's attitude became more meek: "I just don't want to see the emperor be upset about this. Seeing that the emperor can't eat or sleep well makes me feel uncomfortable."

The emperor's expression softened a little more, and there was a bit of tenderness in his eyes: "Fortunately, I have a beloved concubine who can relieve my troubles."

Concubine Shu smiled and brought the longan and lotus seed soup to the emperor: "Concubine, would you like to feed it to the emperor? I made this with my own hands. The emperor will reward me with a smile."

The emperor also smiled and obediently took the lotus seed soup fed by Concubine Shu.

Suddenly, there was a pleasant sound of the piano, distant and long, sometimes as gurgling as flowing water, sometimes as elegant as flowing clouds.

The emperor straightened up, listened carefully, and asked Eunuch Wei, "Who is playing the piano?"

Eunuch Wei walked to the entrance of the palace, looked in the direction where the sound of the piano was coming from, and said, "How about I send someone to take a look?"

The emperor said: "Go quickly."

Not long after, someone came to reply and said that that was the villa of Crown Prince Yongning, not far from here. Crown Prince Yongning and Su Yi, the son of Prime Minister Su, came to the villa for vacation a few days ago.

The emperor said: "Let me tell you, the master of such superb piano skills turns out to be Su Yi."

Eunuch Wei laughed and said, "Son Young Master Su has great talents and excellent piano skills. It's a pity that he has no intention of pursuing an official career."

The emperor also sighed with regret: "Let them come and talk to me. I haven't seen them for a while."
