After Zhao Qixuan got off duty, he went drinking with some friends and arrived home very late. When he saw Helianjing's message, he got up early and ran to his mother to get the menu and delivered it to Prince Helian's Mansion himself.
He Lianxuan and He Lianjing were having breakfast with their ancestors and mother, when a servant came to report that Prince Yong'an was looking for the young prince.
He Lianjing's eyebrows were filled with joy and he quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks: "Grandma, mother, brother, I'd like to excuse you for a moment." He walked away happily.
He Lianxuan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Grandma, mother, let me go and take a look."
He was very worried about the Prince Yong'an. Xiao Jing seemed to be very close to Zhao Qixuan recently.
Princess Yide knew her son's temper, he was very capable and had a bad temper, and he would not sell anyone's face. As for the reputation of Prince Yong'an, she also knew it, so she warned: "The visitor is a guest, don't be rude." .”
He Lianjing trotted all the way to the front hall.
"Zhao Qixuan, have you brought what I asked for?"
"Do I dare to come empty-handed?" Zhao Qixuan rubbed his temples. He drank too much last night and got up early today and has a headache.
"Give it to me quickly." He Lianjing stretched out his hand impatiently.
Zhao Qixuan gave him the menu and said, "We hired the chef from Fuji, who is all over Jinling City. When it comes to birthday banquets, apart from the imperial chef, Zheng Fugui from Fuji is the most famous."
He Lianjing curled his lips disdainfully: "He can do it, Dayao Yao will definitely do it too, and he will definitely do it better than him."
Zhao Qixuan was startled for a moment: "Da Yaoyao? You mean Li Yao?"
"yes!"
"You don't want to leave the birthday banquet to Li Yao, do you? Xiaojing, this is no joke."
"Why not? You have tasted Li Yao's cooking skills. Can you honestly say that he is worse than Zheng Fugui?" He Lianjing said.
Zhao Qi You are so knowledgeable and sophisticated, but you don’t have any qualifications or knowledge to compete with me?”
"I know you want to give Li Yao a boost and give him a chance to make a name for himself, but have you ever thought about what if he messes up? Xiao Jing, your recruitment adventure is a bit reckless."
"Also, if you invite an unknown chef to cook a birthday banquet, will your brother agree? Will he doubt your intentions and purposes? Xiaojing, sometimes being low-key can lead to long-term success. Your brother and I are young and energetic. , didn't know how to restrain, and that's why you ended up in such a tragic end, you have to learn from the experience and don't follow in my footsteps!" Zhao Qixuan said from the bottom of his heart.
He Lianjing was stunned. He had not thought about this deeply. His eldest brother said that he would handle the birthday party. His first thought was to invite Yaoyao to the banquet. He admitted that he wanted to help Dayao Yao and prepared this banquet, and Dayao Yao became famous in one fell swoop. But he never thought that this might harm Dayao Yao.
"Then... what to do now? I've already told Li Yao." He Lianjing ran out of ideas.
Zhao Qixuan shook his fan and said: "What's the difficulty? Just say that your brother doesn't agree. He will understand. However, I really admire him. He actually dares to agree to such a big thing. I can't see come out."
When He Lianxuan, who was standing outside the door, heard these words, he felt as if a storm was rising in his heart.
What does it mean to be low-key and long-term? What do you mean by not following in my footsteps? And who is that Li Yao? Xiao Jing actually wanted to give him the birthday banquet... Could it be that Xiao Jing, like Zhao Qixuan, also likes men
He Lianxuan turned around and left, telling his entourage: "Call Ping An."
The entourage said that Ping An had not been in the mansion these days and seemed to have been sent out by the young prince to do some work.
He Lianxuan felt more and more that the problem was serious. Ping An was Xiao Jing's most caring personal attendant and never left his side. Now that Ping An was sent out, it must be a major matter that Xiao Jing considered the most confidential. Could it be related to that Li Yao
"Follow the young prince. Find out where he has been and who he has met. Report back to me word for word. Also, pay attention to a man named Li Yao and find out his details. And report back." He Lianxuan ordered.
He Lianxuan looked back at the front hall, with a cold look in his eyes. He would never let Xiao Jing go astray.
After Zhao Qixuan left, He Lianjing stayed in the room for a long time. Suddenly he felt that he had no interest in doing anything. After thinking about it, he decided to do as Zhao Qixuan said. He changed his clothes and went out to find Dayao Yao.
"Your brother doesn't agree?" Ye Jiayao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Ever since Xiaojing told her about this, she had been thinking about how to host this birthday banquet. She was still thinking about the menu before going to bed last night. She felt that the light was right in front of her. Everyone was in a state of excitement. When Xiao Jing said this, it was like being poured cold water on them.
However, she could understand that Xiao Jing really wanted to help her, and Prince Helian had his own reasons for not agreeing. Indeed, who would dare to hand over such an important birthday banquet to an unknown little chef
"Da Yaoyao, I'm so sorry, I can't convince my brother." Helian Jing said apologetically.
Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "It's okay. I was still worried about how to tell you. After much thought, I'm still not sure, and I'm afraid of letting down your good intentions. It's okay now, and we don't have to worry anymore."
He Lianjing didn't feel relieved. He knew that Dayao Yao said this deliberately to comfort him.
"Don't be so downcast! This is your grandmother's birthday party. You have to cheer up, do it well, honor her, and let everyone see what you can do. Come on, tell me, you can do it What arrangements have been made." Seeing that he was unhappy, Ye Jiayao had to coax him.
"There are no plans. Originally I wanted to come up with some novel tricks and invite a juggling troupe to perform, but my mother said that my grandmother likes to go to the theater, so I hired the famous Hechun Troupe in Jinling instead. I hate theater the most, babble. I don’t know what to sing.” He Lianjing said sadly.
Ye Jiayao said with a smile: "It's not your birthday, it's your grandmother's. Naturally, it should be according to her preferences. When your birthday comes one day, I will help you prepare a banquet, and you can just invite the juggling team to come?"
He Lianjing's eyes lit up for a moment, then darkened again, muttering: "It's a pity that my birthday this year has passed, and the next one will have to wait until next year."
"How about? I'll treat you to a drink when it's my birthday!" Ye Jiayao said.
Helian Jing suddenly became interested again: "When is your birthday?"
Ye Jiayao said: "The eighth day of August."
Strangely enough, her lunar birthday actually falls on the same day as the original owner Ye Jinxuan. It seems that there is indeed a fate.
"That's coming soon, Dayao Yaoyao, what gift do you want? I'll give it to you!" He Lianjing said happily. His grandmother's birthday is July 28th, and after that it will be Yaoyao's birthday.
Ye Jiayao shrugged indifferently: "Whatever, I'll be happy with whatever you give me. I'm only a friend like you."
He Lianjing was so excited, he was Dayao Yao's only friend! He must organize Dayao Yao's birthday well and make Dayao Yao happy.
He Lianxuan soon got the reward. Li Yao was the cook of Tianshangju Restaurant. He was new here and had good features. Xiao Jing went to see him almost every day.
A cook, Xiao Jing actually fell in love with a cook.
He Lianxuan almost vomited blood just thinking about it. After all, Zhao Qixuan is interested in the third son of Zuo Xiang's family, who is very talented. What is a cook
This matter must be resolved quickly, and get rid of this Li Yao before Xiao Jing is deeply involved.
So that night, Tianshangju welcomed a distinguished guest, Prince Helian, and he asked Li Yao to accompany him.
When Ye Jiayao learned that Xiao Jingjing's eldest brother was here, she didn't dare to be careless. After preparing the dishes, she personally delivered them to him.
Everyone speculated that Brother Yao and the young prince were close, and Prince Helian must have come to support them.
While serving the food, Ye Jiayao secretly looked at Prince Helian. Like Xiao Jing, he also had a pair of slender phoenix eyes, but their eyes were different and their temperaments were different. Xiao Jing's eyes were clear and translucent, and he could tell at a glance You can see the bottom of your heart, your smile is pure and cute, and his eyes are as deep as a deep pool, you can't tell what he is thinking at all. He is unsmiling and exudes a cold and majestic aura, which is intimidating.
She knew that Heifenggang was taken down by him and Chunyu together.
"Your Majesty, please use it slowly." Ye Jiayao felt uneasy. He didn't look like he was here to cheer.
He Lianxuan glanced at her lightly. He had also been observing Li Yao.
Her face is like a peach blossom, her eyes are like autumn water, her handsome eyebrows are beautiful, and her facial features are more delicate than those of a woman. She is indeed very handsome, and even he can't help but be moved by it, let alone Xiao Jing.
Moreover, his attitude is neither arrogant nor arrogant, his behavior is well-behaved and polite, and he does not seem to be afraid of him at all. Ordinary people who know his identity will either be trembling with fear or obedient when they see him. This Li Yao is indeed not simple.
This further strengthened He Lianxuan's determination to deal with him as soon as possible.
"Li Yao."
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
He Lianxuan made a gesture, and the accompanying guard took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the table.
Ye Jiayao looked at He Lianxuan in confusion.
He Lianxuan said: "This is five hundred taels of silver notes, which is enough to earn you three years of income here. Now please take these silver notes and leave Jinling. No matter where you go, don't let Xiao Jing find you again."
Ye Jiayao was a little confused: "Why?"
He Lianxuan looked cold and arrogant like a superior, and said indifferently: "No reason, just do as you are told, I will compensate for the loss of the restaurant, and you must leave here."
Ye Jiayao laughed angrily, it was really baffling.
"Your Highness, I think my work here won't bother you, right? If you don't want Prince Jing to be friends with a commoner like me, you just need to tell Prince Jing. What do you have to do with me? relation?"
Damn it, I have only seen wealthy nobles use such clichéd tricks to break up their own boy from dating Cinderella. I have never seen it before, and you have to break it up to make friends. Xiao Jing has always regarded her as a friend, and she only When Xiao Jing is a younger brother and not a life-and-death lover, is it necessary to do this
