Adorable Food Goddess

At noon, everyone ate simple vegetarian dishes and took the time to close their eyes and relax. Princess Yide went to the queen's place. Ah Ruan was not there either, so Ye Jiayao sat with Mrs. Qiao and talked.

The topic revolved around Su Yi.

"Third uncle made a great contribution last time, but my father-in-law started thinking about wanting him to pursue an official career again. He even arranged for him to go on a blind date, which made him very annoyed. Now it's better. Third uncle doesn't have to worry anymore." Qiao said with a wry smile.

Ye Jiayao understood that during the national mourning period, Su Xiang had to give up the idea of ​​marrying Su Yi.

"Actually, I envy my third uncle. Being an official is not the only way out. Life spans only a few decades. If you can do something you like and live the life you want, then your life will not be in vain." Mr. Qiao road.

Ye Jiayao deeply believed that she liked Qiao's open-minded outlook on life, otherwise we wouldn't be able to talk together.

While the two were talking, a palace maid came over and saluted Ye Jiayao: "Mrs. Xia, the queen invites you."

Ye Jiayao looked at the palace maid and was surprised. However, there were so many palace maids in the clouds that she didn't know a few of them. She thought that Princess Yide was also with the queen, and she probably wanted to talk to her about something. No doubt he was there, so she went with her. Gong'e has gone.

The palace maid led her around many twists and turns. Ye Jiayao saw that this did not look like the way to the Queen's Palace and couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Isn't the queen not in Chaoyang Palace?" Ye Jiayao asked.

The palace maid said: "It's not in Chaoyang Palace, it's in front. It's here."

Ye Jiayao said deliberately: "Will it take too long? The eldest princess is still waiting for me to go back!"

The palace maid said: "The eldest princess and the queen are together."

Uh... Ye Jiayao looked calm after hearing what she said, and her doubts were dispelled. Thinking that this place was not far from Ninghe Palace, she continued to follow the palace maid and came to a greenhouse.

After entering the room, she found that there was no one inside. The palace maid said, "Mrs. Xia, wait a moment. The queen and the eldest princess will be here."

After saying that, he retreated.

Ye Jiayao wondered if the queen and the eldest princess had something important to do, and it was not convenient to talk about it in Chaoyang Palace, so she deliberately found such a place. However, something seems to be wrong, and I can't say exactly what is wrong.

Looking at this conservatory, the layout is very simple, with a couch, a table, two chairs, a book shelf, and a bookshelf. Because of the funeral, the soft cushions on the couch and chairs were all replaced with a solemn navy blue color.

Suddenly I heard footsteps, and immediately someone opened the door and came in.

Ye Jiayao was surprised when she saw the person coming: "His Royal Highness?"

The prince looked up and saw Ye Jiayao and was surprised: "Why are you here?"

"The palace maid brought me here, saying that the queen was looking for me."

His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes narrowed: "This is the place where I rest. Why would the Queen summon you here?"

Having said that, the two of them were very expressionless, secretly exclaiming that something was wrong.

Ye Jiayao quickly said: "Then I'll leave now."

However, footsteps sounded again outside, and they were noisy footsteps, which showed that there were many people coming.

"Father, please walk slower..."

It was the voice of the fourth prince.

The prince looked solemn: "It's too late."

They were blocked inside, and it was the emperor who came.

A man and a woman alone, and it was the period of great mourning... I was already breaking out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

The palace is indeed an unpredictable place, where life and death are faced at any time.

Ye Jiayao looked left and right in panic and found that there was no place to hide here. Should she jump out of the window? If this was a game, it would be even more unclear if someone jumped out of the window and was discovered.

Ye Jiayao told herself not to be chaotic and to be calm. He took a deep breath, thought of a countermeasure, and said quickly: "Don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Your Highness, you will tell me later that you came to me to worry about the emperor and the queen's diet. Knowing that I and Su Shan are the first I have a close friendship with Mrs. Rong, and I would like to invite Mrs. Rong to come."

The prince nodded. Indeed, there was no way to escape and there was nowhere to hide. If the emperor misunderstood, both of them would be dead. Then he adopted Ye Jiayao's suggestion.

The two quickly distanced themselves, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat on a chair, and Ye Jiayao stood not far away.

The footsteps outside stopped when they reached the door.

The prince slowly spoke: "The Queen Mother has passed away. My father and mother are very sad. They can't eat or sleep. What should I do if this continues? I see this and am anxious in my heart. I have no choice but to come to you to discuss the matter. Listen to the prince. The concubine said, since you are on good terms with Mrs. Rong, who is known as the number one person in vegetarian cuisine, would you like to invite Mrs. Rong into the palace to help?"

Ye Jiayao sighed: "His Royal Highness is a filial piety. I saw that the Emperor looked very haggard. The Queen had fainted from crying several times. I heard from the eldest princess that the Queen had not eaten since yesterday, and I was also worried. Since His Highness said it, I went to see Madam Rong to ask. However, after the training class was burned down, Madam Rong seemed to have said that she wanted to return to Yun'an for a while. If that didn't work, I was willing to help. Other ministers. I don’t know how, but you can still make some delicious meals.”

"Hey...if there was someone like you in the imperial dining room, I wouldn't have to worry about this."

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

"It doesn't matter to me. The Queen Mother has always loved me. I only regret that I failed to fulfill my filial piety..." As he spoke, the prince's voice became choked with sobs, and his eyes filled with tears, revealing his true feelings.

"Your Highness, please express your condolences!"

The prince waved his hand: "I leave this matter to you. Try to keep a low profile and don't let the emperor know, otherwise the emperor will definitely not agree."

"I understand that the emperor's benevolence and filial piety are an example for the world. At this time, I must be very sad and wish to suffer myself. How can I think of eating better and wearing warmer clothes? But the emperor is the king of a country. Even though he is sad, he still You are busy dealing with government affairs, how can you do without good health?" Ye Jiayao flattered the emperor sincerely.

The prince showed approval in his eyes, thinking: This Ye Jinxuan really has a heart with seven orifices.

"That's right. Nothing else can help. As children and ministers, we can only pay more attention to these trivial matters." The prince said.

The two sang and cooperated very well.

"I'm looking for you today because of this matter. Please be sure to get it done." The prince said solemnly.

"I obey my orders."

The door was pushed open, and the emperor walked in slowly, followed by the fourth prince with an ugly expression on his face.

The prince and Ye Jiayao were surprised and immediately knelt down to salute.

"My son has met my father..."

"I have seen the emperor..."

The emperor glanced at the two of them lightly, sat down on the throne, and said slowly: "Since you know that I will not agree, you should stop working."

The prince said: "Father, please take care of the dragon body."

The emperor looked at the prince with a complicated expression. He had heard some bad rumors before. He came here in anger, but he heard such a touching conversation. Could it be that he had really wronged the prince?

"The same goes for brother Prince. It's such a trivial matter, but it's like something shameful." The fourth prince said leisurely.

Ye Jiayao's heart sank, these words were heartbreaking!

The prince said sternly: "Fourth brother is gone. One meal and one meal is indeed a small thing for you and me, but my father is the backbone of the world. To put it bluntly, it is not a pity for you and me to die, but my father is the backbone of the world." There can’t be any mistakes.”

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses: "Brother, the prince, is very filial. However, it's better to leave this matter to the prince, why do you have to do it yourself? You are a lonely man and a widower. One room is always not good.”

Ye Jiayao couldn't hold it in any longer and said in a cold voice: "A gentleman is magnanimous and a villain has a long-term relationship. His Highness is worried about the emperor's health and personally asks what's wrong? Those who talk nice and leave everything to others, How sincere is it? If you can’t think of it and can’t do it, why don’t you allow others to think about it? Do it? "

Anyway, everyone knows that she has a bad temper. If she tolerates it, it will make people think that there is something wrong with her.

The prince secretly praised, well said, this is a slap in the face to the fourth child.

The emperor was still a little confused at first, but he felt relieved after hearing what Ye Jiayao said. Ye Jinxuan and Chunyu were deeply in love, so how could they have any trouble with the prince? It seemed that they were together for the sake of his health. When they looked at the prince again, their eyes became much gentler.

"Fourth, it's not that I'm talking about you. If you were as benevolent and filial as the prince, I would be relieved." The emperor's tone was full of disappointment and accusation.

The fourth prince was too shocked to speak anymore and stood aside in panic.

The emperor added: "The prince is benevolent and filial, and I am very relieved. I deeply agree with the prince's concerns. I know my health well, and I can still bear this little hardship. However, the queen has been in poor health recently, and she is so You are tired and need to pay attention. How about this, Jinxuan, you go and invite Mrs. Rong. If she doesn't come, you will take care of the Queen's food. How about that?"

The prince and Ye Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the emperor has believed them. The crisis has been resolved, and the emperor's impression of the prince has been improved. If the messenger behind this knew, he would probably vomit blood!

Ye Jiayao bowed respectfully: "I have obeyed the order and can serve the emperor and the empress. It is my blessing. I have the reputation of walking in the imperial kitchen and have not done anything. I am really ashamed."

When the emperor heard this, he smiled slightly and pretended to be majestic: "Isn't that right? How can you just get benefits and not do anything?"

Ye Jiayao sneered.

The emperor then said to the prince: "I have been busy with state affairs recently and have no time to spare. I will leave it to you to handle the Queen Mother's posthumous affairs. You must handle them properly."

The prince was overjoyed. The Queen Mother's funeral was a big deal. The emperor was willing to leave it to him because he was willing to give him another chance.

"My son, I will definitely live up to my command." The prince solemnly accepted the order.

What a blessing in disguise this time!

Ye Jiayao looked even worse when she saw the fourth prince's face.

"What other instructions does the emperor have? I am very willing to share the emperor's worries." Ye Jiayao said flatteringly.

The emperor said slightly: "You said it yourself. If you can't do anything else and can only cook food, just handle this matter well and I will give you some credit."

Ye Jiayao curled her lips. Actually, I know a lot of things, but I am still very capable, okay?
