Chapter 125 Jealousy
Zhao Qixuan really wanted to despise him, but his face was so swollen that he couldn't make any expression. He could only give two dry laughs, haha!
Ye Jiayao knew that Xiao Jing had never achieved much, so she simply ignored him and asked Zhao Qixuan, "You were beaten by him like this? What happened next?"

Zhao Qixuan said unhappily, "They pulled me back in a carriage, dropped me off in front of the mansion gate, and left!"

Ye Jiayao looked up at the sky in silence. The attacker was so weak, but the attacker was so strong. What should she do? What should she do?
"Zhao Qixuan, I think you should just give up. Even if Su Su is a Ferghana horse, it will be useless if you can't control it." Ye Jiayao said tentatively.

"No, I have a feeling that I can succeed if I just hold on a little longer." Zhao Qixuan said, "I have known Su Su for so many years, and this is the first time he has beaten me so badly. This means he has nowhere to retreat. I will soon be able to break through his defenses and conquer him completely."

A confident light burst out from those small eyes that were swollen into a slit.

"Come on! I think you should practice some fighting skills first." Helian Jing sneered.

Ye Jiayao glared at him: "Stop getting frustrated here."

Helian Jing thought innocently: Didn't I just say what you said? You were the one who got discouraged first.

"Zhao Qixuan, well done. Perseverance is the true quality of a man. Come, I'll show you a series of moves. I don't believe that I can't defeat him." Ye Jiayao thought and came up with an idea.

The three of them gathered together and started talking.

Young Master Su Yi, who was leisurely drinking tea in the Su Mansion, shuddered for no reason and sneezed three times.

Xia Chunyu came back from Puji Temple without stopping. He first went to the palace to report, then went back to the mansion to wash and change clothes. He wanted to have a good reunion with Yaoyao tonight. As soon as he got off the horse, the doorman told him that the servants of Tianshangju came to tell him that Chef Li was summoned to the palace. He asked the doorman when it happened. The doorman said it happened in the morning. He was so scared that his legs went weak when he got on the horse and he almost fell off. When he rushed back to the palace without stopping, he found out that Yaoyao had left the palace a long time ago. It was a false alarm, but he was so scared that he was sweating. He couldn't help complaining that he didn't send a message when he left the palace. He was almost scared to death.

After all this going on, Xia Chunyu became more and more uneasy. Fortunately, the news that Yaoyao entered the palace today was a good thing. If it was a bad thing and he was not there, wouldn't that be terrible?
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Xia Chunyu went to Tianshangju. He simply had dinner at Tianshangju. He hadn't tasted Yaoyao's cooking for a few days, and his stomach was restless.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Tianshangju, Deng Haichuan said that Yaoyao was not there and had not returned.

"Didn't you say you left the palace a long time ago?" Xia Chunyu was surprised.

Deng Haichuan said: "I don't know either. It was someone close to Prince Jing who reported it."

"She is with Young Prince Jing?" Xia Chunyu frowned.

"I think so! Brother Yao was summoned to the palace this morning, and he asked me to go and tell you the news, but you were not there. I was worried that Brother Yao was in trouble, so I had to go find Prince Jing. Prince Jing went to the palace. Otherwise, why don't you go to Prince Helian's Mansion and take a look?" Deng Haichuan said.

Xia Chunyu suddenly lost his appetite. What a coincidence that he was not in the city today, and the emperor summoned Yaoyao to the palace, letting Xiaojing take advantage of him. He was 100% sure that Xiaojing had a lot of feelings for Yaoyao. Now they didn't know where they went. Did he have to look for them all over the street?

Today's plans were completely disrupted. The more Xia Chunyu thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply gave up his meal and went to sit and wait for Uncle Jiang.

Ye Jiayao originally wanted to go back to Tianshangju to work, but Zhao Qixuan insisted that she stay for dinner. It was hard to refuse his kindness, and with Helian Jing's encouragement, she stayed and treated it as a vacation.

The wife of Marquis Yongning sent someone to deliver medicine, but she was worried because she didn't watch Zhao Qixuan drink the medicine.

Ye Jiayao found that the mother looked very familiar. The mother smiled awkwardly. Ye Jiayao then remembered that it was her who came to Tianshangju to buy mooncakes that day.

Uh...it turns out that the owner who couldn't resist the temptation and was greedy was Zhao Qixuan's mother.

After this delay, it was already dark. Ye Jiayao stood up to say goodbye. Zhao Qixuan said, "When the plan is implemented, you must come to help me!"

Helian Jing patted his shoulder: "Even if Yaoyao is not free, I will definitely come."

Zhao Qixuan said: "It doesn't matter whether you come or not, the key is that Li Yao must come to give me courage."

Helian Jing's face darkened, and he threatened angrily, "Believe it or not, I will go find Su Su right now."

Zhao Qixuan disagreed and said with a crooked mouth: "The idea was proposed by Li Yao, you can go and tell him."

Helian Jing was immediately stunned. He didn't dare to betray Yao Yao.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes at the two guys, neither of them were good people.

Xiao Shao was seeing them off when Ping An happened to come over and said that the princess had an urgent matter and asked the young prince to return home immediately.

Helian Jing originally wanted to send Yaoyao off, but now he can't.

"Yaoyao, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Ye Jiayao waved her hand: "Go back quickly! Don't make your mother wait anxiously."

Ye Jiayao returned to the courtyard, Jiang Yuelai opened the door for her and whispered, "Sister Yaoyao, the prince is here and is drinking with my father! But I think the prince doesn't seem to be in a good mood and has drunk a little too much."

Oops... Ye Jiayao slapped her head, she had forgotten something important.

She asked Deng Haichuan to go to Jing'an Marquis' Mansion to report the news, but forgot to inform Chunyu that she was fine.

"I understand. I'll go back to the house and change my clothes first." Ye Jiayao said.

Jiang Yue entered the dining room and saw her father pouring wine for the young master again, so she said, "Dad, young master, sister Yaoyao is back." Uncle Jiang poured half of the wine and stopped, smiling and saying, "Your sister Yaoyao came back early today. Ask her if she has eaten yet. If not, come and eat."

Xia Chunyu said expressionlessly: "Don't ask, will she have no place to eat?"

"My Lord, Sister Yaoyao said she'll be here soon after she changes her clothes."

Xia Chunyu took the wine jug and filled it up for himself.

Uncle Jiang and Jiang Yue looked at each other. It seemed that the young master was in a very bad mood.

Ye Jiayao changed her clothes and brought the imperial chef's sign to the dining room to show off to him later.

The atmosphere in the dining room was a little awkward. Jiang Yue winked at her, and Uncle Jiang said, "Yue'er, go ask your mother to make two more dishes. I'll go see if there's any more wine."

The father and daughter found excuses to avoid it.

Ye Jiayao also felt that what she did today was wrong. She knew that he would be worried, but she forgot to inform him.

"Chun Yu, when did you come?" Ye Jiayao sat down opposite him with a shy smile and poured him a glass of wine attentively.

Xia Chunyu glanced at her, ignored her and just kept drinking.

"Look, what is this?" Ye Jiayao took out the sign and showed it to him.

Xia Chunyu didn't even raise her eyelids, she knew what it was without even looking. Today she prepared imperial meals for the emperor and was appreciated. The emperor gave her the status of a waiter in the imperial kitchen. Although it was of no rank or status, it was still an honor and a recognition.

"Look! It took me a lot of effort to get it." Ye Jiayao pouted and acted coquettishly.

Xia Chunyu raised his eyelids and took a look, and there was no other reaction.

"I also ran into Liuli in the palace. She said she didn't bother with me anymore. Do you think her words are credible? Why do I feel a little uneasy?"

Xia Chunyu said sarcastically, "Why should you be uneasy? Young Prince Jing is always at your service."

Why does this sound so sour? Could this guy be jealous of Xiao Jing? This jealousy is a bit inexplicable! She just treats Xiao Jing as a younger brother.

"What do you mean by 'serving you around'? I was the one who looked for you first, and who told you not to be here?" Ye Jiayao pouted.

Xia Chunyu sneered self-deprecatingly: "So, thanks to Xiaojing, even if I am not here, Xiaojing will always be here."

"Can you please not speak in that tone? I admit that I forgot to inform you that I was fine. It was my negligence and I was wrong. I apologize to you. Is that okay?" Ye Jiayao really didn't like his harsh words.

"Then what tone do you want me to use when speaking? Like Xiaojing, following you around like a puppy?" The sarcastic smile on Xia Chunyu's lips became more and more obvious.

Ye Jiayao was also unhappy: "How did Xiao Jing bother you? Why do you say that about him? If you are angry, just come to me, why are you insulting others?"

"Did I insult him? Wasn't what I said the truth? He smiles like a fool when he sees you. You say one thing and he doesn't say two. You go east and he doesn't go west. His eyes are glued to you. Ye Jinxuan, don't tell me that you don't know what he is thinking, or that you simply enjoy it." She defended Xiao Jing, which made him even more annoyed.

Ye Jiayao glared at him for three seconds, then burst out laughing: "You are jealous, don't deny it, it's so jealous that it makes my teeth fall out."

Xia Chunyu looked at her expressionlessly.

The dark eyes were misted with alcohol, and under the candlelight they were like a hazy halo, making it impossible to see the emotions hidden in the eyes.

"Jealous? Ye Jinxuan, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think that since you are the imperial kitchen attendant, all the men in the world should surround you and be jealous of you?"

The smile on Ye Jiayao's face froze, and she felt something slowly poking into her heart, causing a dull pain.

She was still smiling, but now her smile was cold: "Who are you drinking for?"

"This is Uncle Jiang's house, not yours. I am happy sitting here drinking, and I didn't invite you to come." Xia Chunyu said.

Ye Jiayao laughed in anger, poured herself a glass of wine, and said slowly: "Xia Chunyu, when I was summoned to the palace today, I was very panicked, and the first person I thought of was you. I asked Deng Haichuan to look for you, but unfortunately he didn't find you. Fortunately, Deng Haichuan was smart and ran to find Xiaojing. If it weren't for Xiaojing today, I might have died in Meifei Palace."

Ye Jiayao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and turned it upside down on the table: "Drink slowly, I won't accompany you anymore."

She smiled coldly, got up and left.

She didn't want to argue, especially with someone who was drunk.

But... it seems that she can no longer stay in this place. He said that this is Uncle Jiang's home, but in fact it should be said that this is his home, his house. If he is willing, he can give her a roof over her head to shelter her from the rain. If he is not happy, he can ask her to leave at any time.

She didn't like this feeling, she really didn't like it.
