Adorable Food Goddess - Chapter 335
Chapter 335: Trap
At noon everyone ate simple vegetarian dishes and took time to repose. Royal Princess Yide went to the queen, and A Ruan was not there. Ye Jiayao sat down with Qiao.
The topic revolved was around Su Yi.
” The third uncle has made a contribution last time, and my father-in law has planned to let him take an official career. He also sets out to make a blind date for the third uncle, making him very annoyed. Now, the third uncle need not worry about it.” Qiao said.
Ye Jiayao knew that during the national mourning period, Minister Su had to stop the idea to find a wife for Su Yi.
” In fact, I envy the third uncle very much. Being an official is not the only way out. Life is only a few decades away. It is more worthy to be able to do something you like and live the life you want,” Qiao said.
Ye Jiayao deeply believed that she liked Qiao’s open-minded outlook on life, or else she could not talk with her.
Just then, a maid-in-waiting came up and saluted Ye Jiayao: ” Madam Xia, please the queen is finding you.”
Ye Jiayao looked at the maid-in-waiting and saw her face unfamiliar. However, there were so many maids. She could not recognize many of them. She thought Royal Princess Yide was also at the Queen’s. She was supposed to talk to her about something. She did not doubt, and went with her.
The maid-in-waiting took her around seven and eight turns. Ye Jiayao was suspicious when she saw that it was not like the way to the Queen’s Palace.
” The queen is not in Chaoyang Palace?” Asked Ye Jiayao.
The maid-in-waiting said, ” Not in the Chaoyang Palace, but in the front, we will arrive.”
Ye Jiayao deliberately said, ” Will it be too long? Royal Princess is still waiting for me to go back!”
The maid-in-waiting said, “Royal Princess is with the queen.”
Er … Ye Jiayao listened to what she said, who looked calm, so she reassured her. Considering that it was not far from Ninghe Palace, she continued to follow the maid-in-waiting and came to a warm house.
When she entered the house, she found no one inside. The maid-in-waiting said, “Madam Xia will wait until the queen and Royal Princess arrive.”
Then she went out.
Ye Jiayao wondered if they had something important that was not convenient to say in Chaoyang Palace so that they deliberately found such a place. However, there seemed to be something wrong, but it couldn’t be said exactly where it was wrong.
Looking at this warm house, the arrangement was simple, with a couch, a table, two chairs, a antique shelf and a bookshelf. Because of the funeral, the soft cushions on the couch and chair had all been changed into dignified navy.
Suddenly she heard footsteps, and someone immediately pushed the door and came in.
When Ye Jiayao saw, she was surprised and said, “The Prince?”
The prince looked up and saw Ye Jiayao, he was also surprised and puzzled: ” Why are you here?”
” The maid – in – waiting has brought me here, saying the queen is looking for me,” she said.
The prince’s eyes were fixed: ” This is the place where I rest. Why does the queen summon you here?”?”
After a while, the two persons’ faces turned pale, their voices darkened, and there was a problem.
Ye Jiayao said quickly, ” Then I’ll go.”
However, there were footsteps outside again, and the noisy footsteps showed there were many people.
” Father, you walk slowly …”
It was the voice of the fourth prince.
The prince looked dignified: ” It’s too late.”
They were stuck inside, and it was the emperor who was coming.
A man and a woman were together, especially during the funeral, it was such a dilemma.
The palace was indeed an unpredictable place, facing life and death at any time.
Ye Jiayao looked around in panic and found there was no hiding place. Did she jump through the window? If this was a trap, it was even more unclear if she was discovered.
Ye Jiayao told herself not to mess up and be calm. She took a deep breath and thought about the countermeasures and said quickly, “A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder, Your Royal Highness, I’ll tell them later that you’re looking for me to worry about the emperor’s and queen’s diet, knowing that I have a great friendship with Madam Rong, the first person in the vegetarian diet, and you want to invite Mrs. Rong.”
Prince nodded, indeed, he could not escape and had nowhere to hide. If the emperor misunderstood, both of them would die. He adopted Ye Jiayao’s suggestion.
The two persons quickly separated. His Royal Highness sat in a chair and Ye Jiayao stood not far away.
Footsteps outside stopped at the door.
The prince said slowly, ” The queen mother has died, and the father and mother are so sad that they cannot eat and sleep well. How can they go on like this? I see it in my eyes, but I’m anxious in my heart. I have to ask you to discuss it. I hear my wife say that you have a good relationship with Madam Rong, who is known as the first person in the diet. Would you ask Madam Rong to come into the palace and help me?”
Ye Jiayao sighed, ” Your Royal Highness has a world of filial piety to learn from. I see the emperor’s face gaunt and the empress has cried and fainted several times. According to Royal Princess, the empress hasn’t eaten food since yesterday, and I’m also very worried. Since Your Royal Highness has said that, I’ll go to ask Madam Rong, but after the training course has been burned by fire, Madam Rong seems to say that she wants to return to Yun ‘an temple for a while, if she cannot, I will also be willing to help, and I can also make some dishes.”
” Ah … if someone like you are in the kitchens, I will not have to worry about it.”
“You Highness also needs to take care of yourself.”
” It doesn’t matter in this palace. The queen mother has always loved me, and I only hate myself for not doing more filial piety …” The prince’s voice choked up, tears in his eyes and true feelings were revealed.
” Your highness, please lament!”
The prince gave a wave of his hand: ” Please give it to you. Try to keep a low profile and don’t let the emperor know, otherwise the emperor will not agree.”
” I understand that the emperor is the model of the world. At this time, he must be very distressed. He wishes he is bitter, let alone think of eating better and wearing warmer clothes, but the emperor is also the king of a country. He has to be busy handling the affairs of the government when he is sad. How can he do without a good body?” Ye Jiayao was very sincere in kowtowing to the emperor.
The prince’s eyes showed approval and thought this Ye Jinxuan really had an exquisite heart.
” That’s right, there’s nothing else we can do to help. Those of us who are children and servants can only spend more time on these trivial matters,” the prince said.
The two persons, echoed each other, cooperated very well.
” I’m looking for you today. Please be sure to handle this matter,” the prince solemnly said.
“I obey.”
The door was pushed open, and the emperor came in slowly. The fourth prince followed behind him, looking rather angry.
The prince and Ye Jiayao were surprised in disguise and immediately bowed to the emperor.
” I’ve seen my father …”
“I have seen the emperor …”
The emperor glanced at the two persons lightly, sat down at the gate, and said gently, “Since you know I won’t agree, don’t be busy.”
” Please take care of the your body,” said the prince.
The emperor looked at the prince with a complicated look. He had heard some bad rumors before. He was angry but heard such a touching dialogue. Did he really wronged the prince?
” The elder brother of the prince is also the same. It’s just a small matter, and it’s just like something gross,” said the fourth prince at leisure.
Ye Jiayao’s heart sank, this was such a bad heart!
“The fourth younger brother is wrong. One meal is really a small matter for you and me, but the father is the backbone of the whole world. To say something unpleasant, you and I are not worthy of death, but the father cannot have any mishap.”
The fourth prince was choked to find a word, but he quickly responded: ” Prince’s brother is dutiful, but it’s good to leave the matter to the crown princess, and so you don’t need to take the matter personally? It is always not good to have a single man and a single woman in the same room.”
Ye Jiayao couldn’t hold back and said coldly, ” The gentleman is magnanimous, the dog is long and the royal highness is worried about the health of the emperor’s body and asks what’s the matter? Those who say nice things and throw everything to others are somewhat insincere. I can’t think of it, can’t do it, and don’t allow others to think about it? Can you?”
Anyway, everyone knew that she had a violent temper, but if she tolerated it, it made people think she had something in her heart.
The prince praised in his heart, she said so well, this had severely beaten the fourth prince.
The emperor had some doubts, but he was relieved to hear what Ye Jiayao said. Ye Jinxuan and Chunyu fell in love with each other to the deep, and would not have any problems with the prince. It seemed that they were together for the sake of his body, so the expression of his eyes became much milder when he looked at the prince again.
“The fourth prince, I don’t want to criticize you, but if you have half of the prince, I will have been comforted.” The emperor’s tone was faintly full of disappointment and criticism.
The fourth prince was frightened and did not dare to speak again, and stood nervously.
The emperor added: “The prince has filial piety, I’m very happy, and prince’s concerns are deeply felt by me. I know myself that this suffering can still be overcome. However, the queen’s body is not good recently and she is so attentive and has overworked that she really needs to pay attention. So, Jinxuan, if she doesn’t come, you will have to take care of the queen’s diet.”
The prince and Ye Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. It seemed that the emperor had believed them, and the crisis had been gone through. It also gave the emperor extra credit for his impression of the prince. If the main messenger behind this knew, he would be irritated to death.
Ye Jiayao saluted: “I will obey and serve the Emperor and Empress well. It’s a blessing for me. I bear the title of a kitchen, but I haven’t made much efforts, I’m really ashamed.”
When the emperor heard this, he smiled slightly and pretended to be dignified. ” Isn’t that right? How can you do nothing but benefit?”
Ye Jiayao smiled.
The emperor also said to the prince, ” I’ve been busy with state affairs recently, and I’m too busy to do anything. I’ll leave the matter behind to you. You must do it properly.”
The queen mother’s funeral was a big event, the emperor was willing to give it to him, showing that he was willing to give him another chance.
” I’m sure I won’t dishonor you.” The prince solemnly promised.
This was really a blessing in disguise!
Ye Jiayao’s look at the fourth prince was even worse.
” The emperor still have what command? I’m willing to share the worries of the emperor. ” Ye Jiayao flattered.
The emperor said slightly, ” You said yourself that if you can’t do anything else, you will only cook food. You should do a good job in this matter, and I will give you credit.”
Ye Jiayao curled her lips and thought that she could do so many things, and she was very capable.
