After finishing work in the evening, Ye Jiayao left Tianshangju with a box in her hands. She asked Shopkeeper Li for this box. The prince's calligraphy treasures must be stored carefully.
When she reached the intersection, Ye Jiayao paused and hesitated, should she go back to Fu Inn? It's still Ruyi Inn. Since Chunyu said Liuli didn't have time to come to settle accounts with her, it should be no problem to come back to Fu Inn!
Song Qi appeared out of nowhere.
"sister in law."
Ye Jiayao touched her ears. This title was really awkward. She had nothing to do with Xia Chunyu now.
"Song Qi, can you please stop calling me that in the future? Otherwise I will ignore you." Ye Jiayao said angrily.
"What's that called?" Song Qi was very embarrassed, calling her Miss Ye? Nowadays, when a woman is accompanied by a man, she is called Mr. Li? She is obviously a woman.
Ye Jiayao thought for a moment: "Just call him Brother Yao, that's what everyone calls him."
Song Qi's head is full of black lines, so he might as well be called Mr. Li!
Song Qiji called out weakly and unnaturally: "Brother Yao." He felt like vomiting himself.
Ye Jiayao is very useful. She likes this title and feels like the boss.
"Brother Yao, the prince has ordered you to stay in Ruyi Tower for a few days for the sake of safety, and then come back to Fu Inn after the news from the palace is confirmed." Song Qi said.
Ye Jiayao followed Song Qi to Ruyi Inn without hesitation.
She has troubled so many people because of her affairs. No matter how pretentious she is, she will only cause more trouble for everyone.
On the way, Ye Jiayao suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Song Qi, are you still playing double dunks now?"
Song Qi chuckled: "It's fun, many people in the Hou Mansion are good at it now. I didn't even give the housekeeper a lesson for this. The housekeeper reported it to the madam. The madam told the prince about this. What do you think the prince said?" of?"
Ye Jiayao raised her eyebrows and said, "Could he say that he also thinks it's fun?"
Song Qi was surprised: "Brother Yao, how did you know?"
Ye Jiayao pursed her lips and smiled. If it wasn't like this, how could Song Qi still be playing happily and aboveboard
"That's how the prince replied to Madam. She was so shocked that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She scolded the prince, saying that he had been a bandit in the mountains for more than half a year and had learned bad things." Song Qidao.
"and after?"
"Later... I heard that the madam and my aunt also played in private, and sometimes even asked the prince to join in. If the prince didn't go, the madam said something about it. Nowadays, no one cares about leaf cards or anything like that."
"Pfft..." Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing, this lady was really funny.
"By the way, Brother Yao, there is something minor that I must tell you." Song Qi said with a frown.
Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "You tell me."
"It's like this. When I left Heifenggang, I brought back the jar of preserved eggs you made. You don't know that the prince thought that you were gone and he was not feeling well for a long time. Everything tasted tasteless, and the cooks in the palace cooked it for him in various ways. He only tasted one or two bites. Everyone thought that the prince was sick, so the wife was worried and the imperial doctor was called several times. Others I don’t know why, but I know..."
Song Qi paused after saying this and observed Ye Jiayao's expression.
Ye Jiayao's thoughts were a little confused. Recalling the night he found her, the guilt in her eyes was so thick that she couldn't get rid of it. However, what she wanted was not his guilt.
"Actually, it is understandable that the Crown Prince said that at that time. He is the Crown Prince. To be honest, not even the Marquis and his wife may have the final say in the Crown Prince's marriage. If I bring you back like this... "Song Qi continued.
"Stop talking." Ye Jiayao interrupted him. She knew that he was embarrassed. Rather than being embarrassed, it was more that he gave up because he didn't love.
"No, I want to say it, because no one will say these words to you except me. The prince would rather have his teeth knocked out and swallowed with blood. Even if the prince is confused for a moment and doesn't see his heart clearly, , but he already regretted it. You don’t know that when the younger one took the preserved egg, the prince heard that it was made by you, and silently finished a bowl of rice with the preserved egg. The younger one saw the prince eating. My eyes are wet, and I feel so uncomfortable that I want to cry.”
"Knowing that you are still alive and living in heaven, the prince was so excited that his whole body was trembling. That night the prince excitedly went to see you, but ended up limping back. These days he is always depressed and always inexplicable. He lost his temper, I guess you haven't forgiven him yet!"
"According to Xiao, you can't forgive him so easily. You have to let him reflect and reflect, so as to prevent him from being confused again." Song Qi changed the subject and said angrily.
Ye Jiayao looked at Song Qi in astonishment, did she hear it right? Song Qi spent so much time talking about Xia Chunyu as if she was a saint of suffering. She thought Song Qi wanted to beg her to forgive Xia Chunyu!
"Ahem, Song Qi, the past is in the past, let's not mention it anymore!" Ye Jiayao said awkwardly.
Song Qi turned her smile and said, "Okay, don't mention it, don't mention it." Anyway, his goal has been achieved. Miss Ye already knows the prince's thoughts and will probably be kinder to him.
"But you have to teach me how to make preserved eggs! The prince has already finished the jar of preserved eggs, so let me make it for you. How can I do it? I'm almost worried to death." Song Qi said angrily.
Ye Jiayao laughed: "Okay, I'll teach you another day."
It's not easy for Song Qi to be a follower. When he was on the mountain, he was always yelled at and scolded by Chun Yu, and now he still wants him to make preserved eggs. Xia Chunyu, you think your follower is the universal Doraemon!
Walking all the way, I arrived at Ruyi Inn without knowing it.
Ye Jiayao handed the box containing the prince's calligraphy to Song Qi for safekeeping, and after repeatedly telling him to keep it safe, she went back to her room to rest.
Song Qi said that Xia Chun was on duty with someone else today, so he had to be on duty in the palace at night, which meant that he would not come tonight. Ye Jiayao washed up and lay down to sleep peacefully.
But when he closed his eyes, Song Qi's words were lingering in his ears. Did he really care about her so much? She scolded him several times and even hurt his life. As a result, when she was in trouble, he was the first to help her. If he was just feeling guilty, how could he be so attentive
so annoying! Ye Jiayao tossed and turned, thinking of something else. She couldn't think about him all the time.
What are you thinking about? Chunyu said that Xiao Jingjing has performed well recently. In fact, Xiao Jingjing is already good. As long as he is given a chance and taught, he will be able to get started quickly.
And that Zhao Qixuan is such a wonderful person, so funny. I don’t know if he is attacking or receiving. Seeing that he has no temper at all in front of Chunyu, I guess even if he is attacking, he is still a gentle attack!
oops! Ye Jiayao sat up suddenly and knocked on her head. She had forgotten such an important thing. She also had to ask Zhao Qixuan to help her get coconuts! Sigh... I have to go out of my way to beg him again.
Ye Jiayao fell down weakly, her mind was in chaos, and she didn't know how long it took before she fell asleep.
The next day, Ye Jiayao went to work and found shopkeeper Du in the restaurant.
"Brother, why are you here?" Ye Jiayao said unexpectedly.
Shopkeeper Du said: "Didn't you ask someone to send a message that you encountered some trouble and would not go back to the inn for the time being? Your sister-in-law is worried about you and asked me to come over and have a look. Brother Li, are you okay?"
Ye Jiayao felt warm in her heart. She met them unexpectedly, but they thought about her so much that they even came to see her.
"Brother, it's okay. I'll go back to live in a few days. You and sister-in-law don't have to worry, really."
Shopkeeper Du nodded: "It's okay. If you need help from me, just say it. Don't be polite to me."
Shopkeeper Du didn't believe it when he said it was okay. He was so scared that he didn't dare to go back to the inn. Could it be okay? But Ye Jiayao refused to say, and he couldn't ask more questions. Maybe they didn't want people to know, so he could only express his position.
"Well, I will. Brother, please come back quickly. The store is busy right now."
At noon, when Ye Jiayao was busiest, Helianjing ran over excitedly and pulled her out: "Dayao Yao, let me tell you some good news."
Ye Jiayao is still thinking about the food in the pot. Others may not be able to control the heat. If the food is burned, it will be like destroying her signature.
"What good news? Tell me quickly, I'm busy!"
"My brother agreed to let you come to my grandmother's birthday party."
Ye Jiayao's eyes lit up: "Really?"
When she lost this opportunity, she was really disappointed, but she couldn't say anything. She couldn't embarrass Xiao Jingjing. She didn't expect that the opportunity would be lost and regained.
He Lianjing's eyes were shining, with two cute dimples hanging on his cheeks. He nodded vigorously and said: "Really, Zheng Fugui from Fuji said that he had gout and couldn't do it. He asked his son to do it. Then I said , it’s better to let his son do it than to let you do it, and my brother actually agreed."
"I must have eaten your cooking yesterday and thought you could do it." He Lianjing was as happy as a child.
Ye Jiayao said in her heart, this is not the first time your brother has come to the restaurant, uh, no, the last time he came, He Lianxuan only focused on negotiating with her, but then she was angry and left, and he didn't touch the dishes at all.
As for Zheng Fugui's claim that he suffered from gout, he probably wanted to take this opportunity to make his son famous.
In fact, the cooking competition is just like a gymnastics competition. If everyone completes the moves almost the same, it depends on how the referee scores. If you are more famous, or if you are the host, the score may be higher, and the standard of food is more difficult to define. , because everyone’s taste is different and there is a lot of room for flexibility. At this time, reputation plays a certain role.
She has now accumulated some popularity by relying on iced drinks, but it is not enough. The prince's calligraphy treasure is her trump card and cannot be used easily. Moreover, whether the prince can successfully ascend to the throne has not really sat on the dragon throne. It was hard to say before. The struggle for imperial power has always been cruel. Therefore, she does not want to rely on the prince to gain fame for the time being, so she urgently needs a stage where she can fully demonstrate her strength. Just as it happened, this opportunity came.
"Da Yaoyao, how are you?" Helianjing saw that she was silent for a long time and thought she didn't want to answer.
Ye Jiayao arched her eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, if you can trust me, I will do it."
