Chapter 269 King Yu
The next day, Ye Jiayao took Deng Haichuan to Prince Yu's Mansion.
She never thought that Prince Yu would be in the palace and see her.
I'm really not familiar with King Yu. Counting his back, I've only met him three times in total. Most of my impressions of King Yu come from Chunyu's few words.
This person is indifferent to emotions and anger, but he is decisive, sharp in his approach, and has considerable talents. Otherwise, he would not have been able to win the support of a large number of people in such a short period of time.
Ye Jiayao didn't want to speculate or explore how many ambitions and ambitions were hidden under his calm appearance. It was not something she could decide or control. What she was concerned about now was that King Yu's deep and dark eyes had been wandering around her face for almost three minutes. , just looking at her silently without saying a word.
Invisible pressure pressed against her like a wall, and it was obvious that he was not happy.
Ye Jiayao's palms were sweating slightly. In fact, she didn't want to offend this person, but she had to do it.
She held her head high, forcing herself not to flinch.
Just facing his scrutinizing and probing gaze openly.
King Yu was secretly surprised. Very few people could remain calm and calm under his gaze. Even those ministers could not help but avoid his gaze, showing various signs of guilt or timidity. , or an uneasy look.
Ye Jinxuan is indeed a legendary figure.
A beautiful woman entered the bandit's den, and not only escaped unharmed, but also captured Xia Chunyu's heart. She disguised herself as a man and went to Tianshangju to work as a cook. In just a few months, Tianshangju became the number one restaurant in Jinling City. The food she cooked was extremely delicious, with endless varieties. She became friends with the most prominent princes in Jinling, such as He Lianjing, Zhao Qixuan and others. She dared to go against Liuli. Not only was she not unlucky, but she won the appreciation of the emperor and the prince. I heard that the prince even gave her a gift. He gave her the Mo Bao... In the end, she squeezed out Liuli and became the second young mistress of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion.
It's really not simple... She is just the daughter of a fellow intellectual, but she has such means.
But what shocked him the most was that on the day of the wedding banquet, she was kidnapped and trapped at the bottom of a well. She was injured and frightened, but she was able to survive until the wedding banquet was completed. If he had known earlier, he should have given her another heavy blow, so that she would not be able to continue to support herself even if she got out of trouble.
However, the key is that he underestimated Xia Chunyu's ability to find the abandoned well so quickly.
Of course, what he did was not against her and Xia Chunyu. On the contrary, he admired this couple very much. If they could be used for him, they would be even more powerful.
Thinking of this, King Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, no longer as cold and profound as before.
"Mrs. Xia is interested. The princess has a friend like you, and I am happy for her."
Ye Jiayao smiled: "Since we are friends, we naturally have to do our best. It's just a little effort."
“Mrs.
Ye Jiayao's smile remained the same: "The noble concubine is extremely wise and she always thinks of the prince no matter what she says. Why should the prince mind?"
Prince Yu lowered his eyebrows and said, "That's true, but I still don't like someone suing me behind my back."
Ye Jiayao said: "I don't dare. I just feel sorry for the princess and don't want her to live in such an uncomfortable life. Of course, this is the prince's housework. I have no right to comment. I just think that the princess is a princess of South Vietnam after all. She is the apple of the eye of the King of Nanyue. If the princess lives well, the King of Nanyue will feel more at ease, and the friendship between Nanyue and Huai Song will be more stable, right?"
The smile on Prince Yu's lips deepened, becoming more and more intriguing: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Xia is quite concerned about the country and the people."
Ye Jiayao smiled slightly: "I can't talk about worrying about the country and the people, but I have heard more about the story about the grape trellis falling down in the backyard."
King Yu's eyes darkened, and Ye Jiayao looked at him with a smile.
After a long time, King Yu said: "Just keep the person you sent. From now on, all the food and drinks of the princess will be handed over to him."
Ye Jiayao bowed slightly: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
As soon as Ye Jiayao left, a bright and charming woman appeared from behind the screen.
"My lord, why did you agree again?" the woman asked unhappily, pouting.
Prince Yu looked at her deeply and said in a slightly cold tone: "From now on, you should respect the princess and don't embarrass her again."
The woman said angrily: "Your Majesty, are you just going to let a woman play with you like this?"
King Yu said coldly: "Although I don't like what she did, she did remind me that I don't want the grape trellis in the backyard to fall down. I can pamper you, but I will never allow it." Anyone can ruin this king’s plan.”
King Yu said that and left with a flick of his sleeves. There was a ferocious look in the woman's bright and charming eyes. You Ye Jinxuan, if you don't make it easy for me, I won't make it easy for you either.
Ye Jiayao then went to Ah Ruan's place.
Ah Ruan looked restless. As soon as Ye Jiayao arrived, she sent out all her servants, including Xiaoman and Qiao Xi.
"Sister Yaoyao, have you gone to see the imperial concubine?"
Ye Jiayao nodded and said, "It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll send some mooncakes to the palace, and I'll bring some to you too."
Ah Ruan sighed: "Sister Yaoyao, why are you doing this?"
She didn't believe that Sister Yaoyao came to the palace simply to deliver mooncakes. Last night, King Yu came to her room when he came back from the palace, and said with an unhappy expression... If you have any requests from now on, just tell him directly, and don't instigate others behind her back.
She knew it must be Sister Yaoyao. Who else would stand up for her?
"Actually, I wanted to do this myself, and I don't blame King Yu." Ah Ruan said. She could marry King Yu, but she couldn't really face him. To be honest, she was actually very happy that Prince Yu accepted Lin as his concubine.
Ye Jiayao looked at her seriously for a long time and said, "Aruan, I know what you are thinking, but what's the point of being depressed? You will only hurt yourself and Xiaojing."
Ah Ruan's expression was stagnant, a little confused. What does this have to do with Xiao Jing?
Ye Jiayao sighed silently and said sincerely: "Aruan, I don't like to say resignation, but the fact is what it is. We can only face it. Being depressed and depressed will not help, it will only make things worse. Previously, Everyone is speculating that you will marry Xiaojing. Now, you are so cold to King Yu. What will King Yu think? Even if he doesn't like you, he still cares about you! Doesn't he hate Xiaojing even more? Besides, if your life is not good, who will care for you? It will only make those who care about you sad."
Ah Ruan lowered his head and said nothing.
"The days ahead are still very long, and you can't get rid of the title of Princess Yu. If you continue like this, you will be eaten to the bone. I am not an alarmist. Fights between women are extremely vicious. It is definitely no less tragic than the struggle between men. Ah Ruan, wake up! It is a great regret that lovers cannot become dependents, but in our lives, besides love, there are many other beautiful things, such as family affection For example, friendship, don’t forget that you also shoulder the mission of being the princess of South Vietnam..."
Ah Ruan couldn't help but be moved, his eyes wet.
Ye Jiayao caressed her shoulder: "Ah Ruan, cheer up, you are not alone, you still have me and Xiaojing, Xiaojing has been worried about you, don't make him more sad, okay?"
She has said everything she can, but Ah Ruan has to walk the road by himself. I hope Ah Ruan can figure it out and open up his heart!
Back at the Hou Mansion, Ye Jiayao was surprised to find that Jin Yao was back.
"Jinyao? Why are you back? Where is your second sister?"
Jin Yao said: "The second sister heard that the second brother-in-law was fine, so she came back overnight. I will send the second sister back to Wei's house first. Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei are also there, so I will come back."
Ye Jiayao was even more surprised: "Is Wei Liujiang okay? How could he be okay?"
She knew about Wei Liujiang's recantation of his confession, but she didn't expect that Wei Liujiang would be released without taking any responsibility at all.
"I don't know. Second sister said, if it's convenient for you, can you go to Wei's house in the evening?"
Ye Jiayao thought for a moment: "When your brother-in-law comes back, I will discuss it with him first."
At the third moment of Shen Zheng's reign, Xia Chunyu came back.
Ye Jiayao took the coat he took off and asked, "I heard that Wei Liujiang was released. Do you know about this?"
Xia Chunyu twitched the corner of his mouth: "I was going to tell you about this the day before yesterday, but you have been ignoring me."
Ye Jiayao glanced at him: "When did you become so self-conscious? Why don't you stop talking to me if I ignore you?"
Xia Chunyu said innocently: "Conscience of heaven and earth, I have coaxed you so much, why can't you tell me not to talk to you? I just don't know whether you are happy or unhappy after hearing this news. If it makes you more worried, won't I be scolding you again?" "
Ye Jiayao said angrily: "Then are you going to report good news to me instead of bad news from now on?"
"That won't happen." Xia Chunyu said with a shy smile. He was really depressed these days. Yaoyao ignored him, which was more uncomfortable than scolding him. She never thought in her life that her happiness, anger, sorrow and joy would be The other person is in control.
"Are you not angry now?" Xia Chunyu held her shoulders and asked flatteringly.
Qiao Xi retreated consciously and closed the door.
Ye Jiayao said: "I sent Deng Haichuan to Prince Yu's Mansion today. Moreover, I also met Prince Yu."
Xia Chunyu's hands suddenly tightened: "What did King Yu say?"
Ye Jiayao said truthfully: "He was a little unhappy because yesterday I went into the palace and let Concubine Shu talk. Concubine Shu might have scolded him. However, later he said that he would let Deng Haichuan stay, and Ah Ruan's future would be better. All food and drinks are left to Deng Haichuan."
Xia Chunyu frowned and said, "Prince Yu is not easy to deal with. You should be careful when you go to Prince Yu's Mansion in the future."
Ye Jiayao deeply agreed: "I think so too. He is an unfathomable person. When he looks at you with his dark eyes, it is a bit breathless. Unlike the prince, the prince is as gentle as jade and always makes people feel like a spring breeze. a feeling of."
"Chunyu, do you think Prince Yu will hold a grudge if I do this?" Ye Jiayao was still unsure, fearing that Chunyu would be in trouble.
Xia Chunyu smiled and said: "That's not the case. Besides, what about me? If he dares to do anything to you, I'm not afraid whether he is King Yu."
