Chapter 117 You Are the One Flattering

It is early autumn, but the weather is still very hot. This year's autumn heat seems to be particularly fierce.

The night sky was dark and the air pressure was very low, as if a storm was brewing.

Ye Jiayao was a little anxious. What if it started to rain? Neither of them brought an umbrella.

But Helian Jing didn't seem to be bothered at all. As long as he was with Yao Yao, he didn't care about the hail.

"Yaoyao, let me tell you, that Wei Liujiang is really disgusting. Manager Liu followed my brother's orders to go to the Mu Mansion to ask for the person, but he dared to bite back and said that we deliberately framed him."

Ye Jiayao was stunned. Wasn't it a deliberate frame-up? It was a deliberate frame-up. Chunyu planned this perfectly. Wei Liujiang couldn't explain it clearly. He said that the Helian Palace framed him, which was courting death. The Helian Palace had no status and position, and they had no grudges with him. Who would believe it if he told others?

"Is it true that we can't find the person? What are you going to do then?" Ye Jiayao asked curiously.

Helian Jing sneered, "My mother said that Wei Liujiang and his wife are a pair of bastards. Maybe they teamed up to harm Miss Ye, and they dared to turn the tables. If they succeed, our palace will lose face. This matter will naturally not be let go. My brother has already sent people to Yangzhou."

Ye Jiayao was shocked. Is this possible? She had a problem with Wei Liujiang because she heard from the servants of the Wei Mansion that Wei Liujiang and Jinrong were in love. His legitimate wife was kidnapped by bandits, but he didn't care at all and married Jinrong immediately. He loved Jinrong so much, so what was she? It was obvious that this kind of man was ruthless and unrighteous, and a playboy.

If that was the case, she had to praise the eldest princess for scolding the bitch well! Aren’t they just a pair of bitches?
Ye Jiayao pondered, "Since the second Miss Ye replaced the eldest Miss Ye and married Wei Liujiang, the Ye and Wei families must have kept their mouths shut long ago, and I guess nothing can be found out."

Helian Jing sneered: "The truth will always exist, it just depends on how you dig it out. It's impossible for a living person to disappear for no reason, right? At the banquet yesterday, Ye said that Miss Ye was sent to her maternal grandfather's house to recuperate because she was sick. Well, let's go to her maternal grandfather's house and find Miss Ye."

Ye Jiayao thought that if Prince Helian's Mansion got serious about it, then the Ye family would have a hard time explaining themselves.

It seems that the bad days for this couple are not far away.

"Hmph, don't let me run into these two bastards, Wei Xiaoliu and Wei Mingluo. I'll beat them up every time I see them." Helian Jing said angrily with his cheeks puffed out.

"Do you have to be so indignant?" Ye Jiayao felt guilty. Chunyu was taking advantage of the Helian family. She wondered if Helian Xuan knew about it.

Helian Jing stiffened his neck and said, "Of course, they made my mother mad, so I won't let them go."

"Uh...what if I make your family mad one day, will you never forgive me?" Ye Jiayao asked nervously. What if Xiaojing knew the truth in the future, would he blame her?

Helian Jing squinted at her, his narrow phoenix eyes concealed a smile: "You? How could you possibly offend my family? The old ancestor loves you so much. This morning, I went to pay my respects to the old ancestor, and the old ancestor told me."

Helian Jing cleared her throat, narrowed her eyes, shrunk her mouth, and tucked her chin. She really looked like an old lady, imitating the tone of her ancestors and said, "Xiao Jing, although Li Yao is not from a wealthy family, he is a good person, much better than those playboys you are friends with."

Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing and kicked him: "Don't learn it, it's so ugly."

Helian Jing shouted exaggeratedly: "Hey, I was praising you, and you kicked me. It's so unfair..."

The two chatted and laughed, and unknowingly arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

Helian Jing gave his name and soon someone came to lead them inside.

The prince was discussing matters with his staff in the study, so they were waiting in the side hall.

After waiting for about two cups of tea, someone came and invited them to the study.

The prince seemed to be in low spirits, holding his forehead and rubbing his temples.

"Greetings to His Highness..."

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Helian Jing had to bow and Ye Jiayao had to kneel down and kowtow.

The identities are different.

The prince did not recognize Ye Jiayao for a moment, and smiled slightly and said to Helian Jing: "Why did the little prince think of coming to see me today?"

Helian Jing said with a smile: "Your Highness, I am here with Li Yao. He wants to give you some new snowy mooncakes to try."

Li Yao? The prince frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Are you Li Yao from Tianshangju?"

Ye Jiayao felt a little sad. Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forget about her so quickly?
"It's me. Last time, Your Highness said that he would send you a portion of any good things he had in the future. I have recently developed a very special mooncake, and I specially sent a few to Your Highness for you to try." Ye Jiayao said respectfully.

"Your Highness, this mooncake is incredibly delicious. It was served at my grandmother's birthday party last night and received rave reviews!" Helian Jing praised it without reservation.

The prince smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I remember that during dinner, the Crown Princess was still talking about the new ice cream mooncakes that were very popular. I'll make some to try someday."

Ye Jiayao presented the ice container: "If your highness and the Crown Princess like it, send someone to pass on the message and I will deliver it immediately."

The prince signaled his servant to accept it, and said quietly: "You are very thoughtful."

Ye Jiayao said: "Thanks to your kindness, Your Highness. I have always been grateful in my heart. I don't know how to repay Your Highness. I can't do anything else, I can only think of some fresh and delicious food. Your Highness doesn't think I am abrupt, I will be grateful."

The prince laughed: "It is not easy for you to be able to do this and do it to the extreme. Since you said so, I have something to ask of you."

Ye Jiayao was terrified: "Your Highness, you are too kind. Please don't take it. If you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it even if I can't." Helian Jing couldn't get a word in at the side. Yaoyao was simply the ancestor of flatterers! Look at how smooth the hair of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was, his eyes were narrowed into slits with a smile.

Flattery never wears out, and the prince has seen many flatterers, but there are not many who can flatter so sincerely and without being abrupt or disgusting.

"Well, it's like this. The Crown Princess is pregnant and has had a poor appetite recently. She is tired of the food from the imperial kitchen. Wouldn't you like to think of something new and delicious? Just think about it." said the prince.

Ye Jiayao suddenly felt a huge pressure. This was not just a matter of cooking a few dishes to please the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess's pregnancy was different from other people's. She was carrying a son or grandson of the emperor. If there was a mistake, she would not be able to chop off her head even if she had a hundred.

"What?" the prince asked with a raised eyebrow.

Ye Jiayao had flattered the guy so loudly just now that she felt embarrassed and didn't dare to say no.

"I will definitely do my best, but I have to first tell the Crown Princess what her physical condition is, what she can eat, what she can't eat, what is the best food to eat, or what she likes to eat, then I can go ahead and do it." Ye Jiayao bowed.

The prince nodded secretly when he heard this. He was a cautious person, and only such a person could do things safely.

"Later, let Xiaochuan take you to see Imperial Physician Liu and Nanny Zhang. Ask them anything you need to know." said the prince.

It was already more than half an hour later when I came out of the Prince's Mansion.

The heavy rain that had been brewing all night finally came pouring down, covering the sky and the ground with a dense curtain of rain. The prince ordered someone to drive them back. Helian Jing had no choice but to leave the horse behind and come back to get it tomorrow.

Helian Jing insisted on sending Yaoyao home first.

Ye Jiayao couldn't persuade him, so she had to agree to let him send her off.

When they reached the alley entrance, Ye Jiayao wanted to get off the car, but Helian Jing stopped her: "It's raining so hard, you're bound to get wet. Do you live in this alley? Driver, please drive in."

Helian Jing walked Ye Jiayao all the way to the door, then he opened the umbrella and jumped out of the car first, helping her out.

"I'm here, you can go back now!" Ye Jiayao said while knocking on the door.

Helian Jing looked up at the house, which looked about 70% new and quiet in a bustling environment, which was not bad. He had always been worried that Yaoyao lived in a poor condition.

"Squeak, the door opens."

The three of them were stunned.

Ye Jiayao's brain froze. She never expected that it would be Chunyu who opened the door.

Chunyu didn't react at first. He didn't expect Xiaojing to walk someone to the door.

Helian Jing was completely confused. Could it be that the friend Yaoyao was talking about was Brother Chunyu? The place where Brother Chunyu arranged for Yaoyao to live?

The three of us looked at each other, but Xia Chunyu was the first to react.

"Xiao Jing, it turns out that Yao Yao was called away by you. No wonder I couldn't find him. You're all ready to leave. Come in first and talk to me!"

Xia Chunyu turned around and called out, "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, there are guests."

He gave a warning first, lest the Jiang family let the secret slip by calling out "Madam". Now was not the time to announce Yaoyao's identity.

Everyone entered the house, Jiang Yue served tea, Aunt Jiang brought a clean towel and then busied herself with cracking eggs.

Everyone wiped the water stains off their bodies, and Helian Jingcai asked, "Brother Chunyu, why are you here?"

Xia Chunyu said casually: "Oh, this is Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang's house. They used to live in Heifenggang. I come here sometimes to sit down."

Helian Jing suddenly realized that this was the case. He was really stunned just now. It was so late, and Brother Chunyu was still here. He immediately felt unbalanced. He wanted to send Yaoyao off several times, but Yaoyao refused to let him. But Brother Chunyu could come and sit anytime. Humph, since he knew this place, he would come and sit often in the future.

Ye Jiayao said awkwardly, "My Lord, do you have something to ask me?"

Xia Chunyu said, "It's not a big deal. I wanted to ask you for some snowy mooncakes, but my servants went to buy them today but failed. The women at home were complaining about it, so I chatted with Uncle Jiang for a while when you were not around. But it started to rain, so I couldn't leave even if I wanted to."

"Oh, I'll make a few more tomorrow and you can come and get them." Ye Jiayao said.

"There's also mine." Helian Jing reminded hurriedly.

Ye Jiayao curled her lips and said, "I know. I can't do without you."

"By the way, where did you two go so late at night?" Xia Chunyu actually knew that they went to the Prince's Mansion, and he had been following them.

Helian Jing said: "Yaoyao went to flatter His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ye Jiayao gave him a slap on the face: "Who is flattering? You are the one flattering."
