Adorable Food Goddess

Sister Yaoyao, look, that's Brother Chunyu. Brother Chunyu looks so handsome in his guard uniform... Ah Ruan pointed at Xia Chunyu and tugged on Ye Jiayao's sleeves.

Women are all vain, more or less. She is very happy that such a handsome man is her husband, and she is inevitably a little proud.

Soon Ye Jiayao saw the prince again. There were several people wearing python robes beside the prince, who must be the princes.

Ah Ruan whispered in her ear: Look, the one over there wearing a purple and gold python robe with a face as straight as ice is King Yu. I hate him every time I see him look so serious.

Prince Yu is also the third prince. The title of this prince was issued together with the imperial edict of marriage.

Hearing that it was Prince Yu, Ye Jiayao couldn't help but take a closer look. Prince Yu and the prince were completely different types. The prince was as gentle as jade, with a gentle demeanor from the inside out, and was approachable, while Prince Yu was more raw. He has handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, but he is unsmiling and full of royal majesty. He is actually more like a prince than a prince.

I heard from Chunyu that King Yu had accumulated a lot of military exploits and had some prestige in the hearts of the military attachés. Moreover, he was not weak in civil affairs. He also had a group of civil servants supporting him, and he gradually became closer to the prince.

Alas, the emperor's art of checks and balances makes the princes consume each other. If one is weak, they will be supported, and the other will be suppressed. It just makes the courtiers suffer, trying their best to speculate on the holy will, and racking their brains to get the person they support in the end. Win this battle for inheritance.

Thinking about it this way, the impartiality of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion is simple. No matter who sits on the dragon throne in the future, they will not suffer disaster if they do not get the favor, but... it is not easy to be a pure minister. In particular, Chunyu and Helianxuan had a close friendship, and since she was the adopted daughter of Prince Helian, she could be considered a member of the Helian family. Once the prince was weak and affected Prince Helian, could Chunyu sit idly by and ignore it? She couldn't do it if she wanted to.

Xia Chunyu seemed to have noticed that special look upstairs, raised his head and smiled slightly, as a greeting.

Immediately, the emperor and the queen got out of the car and rushed into the Wanghu Tower. After a while, the Wanghu Tower was packed to the brim.

Xiao Jing and Princess Yide arrived late. Ye Jiayao noticed them immediately and subconsciously called Ah Ruan. When she turned around, she saw Ah Ruan with a sad look in his eyes, looking at Xiao Jing. Ye Jiayao The words that came to my lips had to be swallowed hard.

Xiao Jing looked up and saw nothing. He sent his mother to the fifth floor first and had no intention of coming over to say hello. Ah Ruan has already made an engagement, and he must avoid suspicion. Not to mention saying hello, even looking at her one more time is a sin in the eyes of a caring person.

Ye Jiayao saw Ah Ruan looking even more lonely, so she had no choice but to coax her to divert her attention.

Aruan, there will be betting later. You can bet on which team will win.

Ah? But I don't even understand. Ah Ruan's reaction was a little slow.

Just follow me and place your bets later. Ye Jiayao smiled. Deng Haichuan and the others had already gone to collect information. They knew best which teams were the strongest.

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but think of Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi again. Zhao Qixuan liked this kind of excitement the most. She didn't know if they also watched the dragon boat race on the South Vietnam border.

Aruan, how do you celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in your hometown?

We also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival over there, but it's not so grand... Ah Ruan introduced the customs of his hometown, and his melancholy gradually disappeared.

Princess Ah Ruan, Mrs. Xia. Suddenly, a cold voice came to her ears, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Ye Jiayao and Ah Ruan turned to look, and the person who came turned out to be King Yu. Ye Jiayao stood up and saluted: I have met His Royal Highness King Yu.

This is the title of King Yu,

King Yu smiled slightly: Mrs. Xia, there is no need to be polite. This king is here to invite Princess A Ruan and Mrs. Xia.

By order? Ye Jiayao was slightly surprised.

King Yu said: The Queen was full of praise after tasting the cakes sent by Mrs. Xia. Knowing that Princess A Ruan also contributed, she invited the two of you to go upstairs to talk about it.

If the queen invites her, she will naturally go.

The two immediately followed King Yu to the fifth floor.

The emperor and queen were presented with gifts first, and then Concubine Shu who was standing beside her.

The emperor also paid attention to Ah Ruan first, and then said to Ye Jiayao with a smile: Jinxuan, I haven't seen you for a while, and you have made so many delicious things.

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, Your Majesty, you know that this is all I have.

The emperor smiled and said: It would be great to be able to use this ability to the extreme.

The queen smiled slightly and said: This flower cake is really unique, soft and refreshing, with rich floral fragrance and refreshing. I never knew that these flower petals can also be used for food.

Ye Jiayao replied: This is a snack from Princess Ah Ruan's hometown. I heard it was fresh, so I asked Princess Ah Ruan how to make it. I found out that it is the season of roses now, so I use rose petals as the filling. This flower The cake is not only delicious, but it also has the effects of promoting blood circulation, regulating qi, calming the liver and detoxifying, making it a great beauty product.”

What women care about most is beauty. After hearing what Ye Jiayao said, everyone became more and more concerned about this little flower cake.

I didn't expect that South Vietnam would have such delicious snacks. The queen said.

Ah Ruan smiled and said: Queen, there are a lot of delicious food over there, but there are still not as many as in Jinling. How about I write to my father and ask him to send a royal chef? But, it seems that Jin Sister Xuan can do anything, as long as you tell her, she can do it, and she can do it more authentically than South Vietnam.

How can I be that powerful? Ye Jiayao smiled and said modestly.

Concubine Shu on the side glanced at Ye Jiayao quickly, and a look of unknown meaning flashed across her eyes.

I heard that A Ruan was on good terms with Chunyu's wife Ye Jinxuan. I never thought that they would become so good that they both called her sister. The attitude of the Helian family has always been clear, but the Jingan Hou Mansion never expressed its stance. However, Xia Chunyu It was well known throughout the court that Ye Jinxuan and He Lianxuan were brothers and sisters, and Ye Jinxuan was recognized by the old princess as her step-granddaughter. It was difficult to guarantee whether Xia Chunyu would fall in love with the prince because of this.

But now that Prince Yu is in the prime of employing people, and a talented person like Xia Chunyu is bound to fight for it. Ah Ruan is about to become Princess Yu, and it is a good thing for her to have a good relationship with Ye Jinxuan, even if she can't win. Come on, it would be good to keep Xia Chunyu neutral.

The queen's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she naturally had some considerations in her heart.

She didn't mind that Ye Jinxuan had a good relationship with Ah Ruan. Ye Jinxuan also had a relationship with the Crown Princess. In addition, she was the step-granddaughter of the old Princess. It was absolutely impossible for Ye Jinxuan to turn to King Yu's side. Perhaps her relationship with Ah Nguyen can be used in the future.

The two most noble women in the Song Dynasty had their own thoughts at this time, and others did not know it. Ye Jiayao also did not expect that at that moment, her weight in the hearts of the Queen and Concubine Shu had changed.

The emperor said cheerfully: You have presented so many snacks today, and everyone is happy with them. How can I reward you?

Your Majesty, this is my concubine's wish. As long as the Emperor, Queen and ladies like it, it is the highest reward for me. Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

Ye Jiayao's words were really not modest. This was her purpose. Although she spent a lot of money today, it was nothing compared to the income generated from it.

It's your kindness that I reward. Do you want me to eat yours for free? Wei Zhong, please note that when you return to the palace, you will reward the second young mistress of the Marquis of Jing'an with a bouquet of pearls and three hundred taels of gold.

Ye Jiayao said half-jokingly: Your Majesty, if you really want to reward me, just show your intention. I deserve such a generous reward. I will have to make more delicious food to honor the emperor.

The emperor laughed loudly: That's what I mean.

The queen smiled and said: The emperor's reward is the emperor's grace. I like these flower cakes you made very much, and I value your kindness even more.

With that said, the queen took off a pair of jade bracelets from her wrists and gave them to Ah Ruan and Ye Jiayao, one each.

The entire body of the jadeite bracelet is moist and shiny, and the tentacles are slightly cool. It looks like the best jadeite at first glance. It is extremely precious. Ye Jiayao was really uneasy about such a favor, but she did not dare not accept it. She could only kneel down to express gratitude with Ah Ruan.

Concubine Shu chuckled and said in a sweet voice: Since the queen has rewarded me, I can't be stingy.

After saying that, Concubine Shu also took off the two rings on her fingers, giving a ruby ​​one to Ah Ruan and an emerald one to Ye Jiayao.

With two generous gifts in hand, Ye Jiayao couldn't be happy. She felt that her hands were very hot. There was always a subtle factor and undercurrent surging in this show of kindness.

A father-in-law came to ask if the dragon boat race can start?

The emperor nodded slightly: Let the prince play the drum.

Then he said to Ye Jiayao and Ah Ruan: You should also go back and watch the dragon boat race! There will be a good show later.

The two of them saluted and left. When they passed the seat of Princess Yide, Ye Jiayao specially pulled Ah Ruan forward to greet her.

Just now, the queens and concubines were vying for rewards. Yide saw it and sneered in his heart. The third prince conferred the title of Prince Yu. Many people began to become restless. The courtiers could not sit still, and Concubine Shu became restless. Jinling City has been peaceful for too long, and it's going to be windy and rainy again.

Because Ye Jiayao is from his own family, Yide should be more polite to Ah Ruan: A Ruan, our ancestors often miss you, so come and sit in the house when you have time.

Ah Ruan smiled a little unnaturally. She liked the eldest princess and her ancestors very much. Their kindness to her was different from others, and they always felt very kind to her. However, now her identity has changed, she will soon become Princess Yu, and she can no longer be as casual as before.

Yeah, I'll come.

Boom, boom...the deafening drum sound sounded, indicating that the dragon boat race was about to begin.

Ye Jiayao hurriedly left, and the two returned to their seats and stared straight ahead.

There is a dragon boat as fast as an arrow, heading towards the starting point.

Ah Ruan opened his eyes and looked again and again, tugging on Ye Jiayao's sleeve: Sister Yaoyao, I'm not fooling you! Is that Brother Chunyu standing at the bow of the dragon boat?

Ye Jiayao's eyes were wider than Ah Ruan's, with an incredible look on her face. Who wasn't Chunyu standing in the wind? Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she could recognize his figure at a glance.

No wonder the emperor said that there would be a good show to watch later, you stinky donkey, you kept it a secret!
