Chapter 334: Little Ya’s hint

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It didn’t matter for whatever purpose the Crown Princess was doing today. They were already grasshoppers on one rope and people on one boat, and they could only be in the same boat and had no way out.

At the end of the journey to the Prince’s Mansion, Crown Princess said in a low voice, “Be careful of Yongning marquis mansion and Zhao Liuli.”

Ye Jiayao was a little bit confuse. She could understand the reason of being careful with Zhao Liuli. Liuli was now very close with King Yu’concubine Lin. For Liuli, Prince and King Yu were all her cousins, and no one was close to each other. However, everyone thought that she was the queen mother’s favorite granddaughter. The queen mother was on the side of the prince and took it for granted that Liuli also supported the prince.

In fact, in addition to the queen mother, there were many people who had opinions on Liuli in the palace. For example, the queen’s kindness to Liuli was just to show to the queen mother. The queen’s own daughter, Jinghe princess, had to marry to west Mongolia because of Liuli. This life was rare to see each other again. In exchange, she also hated Liuli.

In addition, Liuli had no sense of right and wrong and her position was unstable. At this time, whoever woos her was likely to fall to which side.

The problem was that Liuli had no good quality to be drawn in. Therefore, no one on the prince’s side showed special friendliness and closeness to Liuli from top to bottom. However, this person was of no use but had some destructive power. A mouse excrement could break a whole pot of porridge, so it was a problem.

As for Yongning marquis mansion, Ye Jiayao didn’t quite understand it. Yongning Lord and Jing’an Lord were two daredevils of this dynasty. Their political stance looked clear and they were loyal to the emperor only. In fact, everyone couldn’t fathom it. Crown Princess won’t say this for no reason at all. Was it what Yongning Lord did to show his heart? Standing at King Yu’s side? If this was the case, Zhao Qixuan helped to play a drama of assassination and rescue this time, was it opposite to Yongning Lord? Didn’t Zhao Qixuan know his father’s attitude?

In an instant, many thoughts came to her mind, and when she recovered, Crown Princess had already gone to the mansion.

Ye Jiayao seemed to have pressed a stone in her heart, which was heavy and made her couldn’t breathe. The current situation was changing; maybe everyone had to face the problem of choosing and being chosen.

On her carriage, Qiao Xi took a cloak and covered her leg.

“Second lady, me and Little Ya stood together before, Little Ya said something to me.” Qiao Xi said.

Ye Jiayao asked absently, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing specifically, she just asked me to tell you that third lady has recently come closer to some restaurant – makers.”

Ye Jiayao was surprised: “what did you say?”

Qiao Xi repeated Little Ya’s words again.

Ye Jiayao’s mind was full of crackles, and soon she had a clear idea like moving clouds to see the moon.

Little Ya purposely asked Qiao Xi to spread the news, not without a target, but to suggest that Liuli had reached out to her career.

It was no wonder that Zheng Sanduo and others shouted at her in the chamber of commerce, with the aim of provoking people’s dissatisfaction with her and thus weakening her influence in the chamber of commerce. Shopkeeper Mei even talked about her and Lu Xiaotian. No one outside knew about the last fake letter except her family, and she was almost certain that the so-called closer person was Zheng Sanduo.

Just, food festival trouble, training class was burned by fire was also the gang did? Or was it inspired by Liuli?

Ye Jiayao was livid and angry. She couldn’t help but want to burst into a rude phrase … Zhao Liuli, you fucking bitch.

After conspiring against each other again and again, didn’t you fucking satisfied yet?

If let her find out, all the previous ones were directed by Zhao Liuli, she would definitely not spare her, chunfeng had been downright disappointed with Liuli anyway, and had maintained the marriage with difficulty, without worrying about chunfeng’s feelings, perhaps, it could also help chunfeng to extricate herself. Anyway, the queen mother was gone, who could protect her again? Depend on King Yu? Ha ha, King Yu was not so capable now.

In a word, she would not relent any more. She would sweep away the fallen leaves like autumn wind and show no mercy to the enemy.

When she returned to marquis mansion, the concierge reported that Zhong Xiang had come and had been waiting for her at Uncle Jiang’s place for several hours.

Although Ye Jiayao was exhausted and tired, Zhong Xiang must had something to do when he came to see her, so she had to cheer up and call Zhong Xiang to see her.

Jiang Yue came together, and they stood together. They were quite brilliant and beautiful.

Well, if it weren’t for the sudden demise of the queen mother, they would have married at the end of the year, and now they could only drag back, at least until after the national funeral. The ancient funeral system was extremely strict, and she learned some only today. During the national funeral, people were not allowed to marry, and the whole country mourned.

“Second lady, today the court had issued a ban on banquets and entertainment during the national mourning period. From this afternoon, there were no guests in the Heavenly Residence, and the pastry shop had a very light business. It was estimated that this would be the case next time. Therefore, my fellows asked me to ask for a show.” Zhong Xiang said.

Ye Jiayao said thoughtfully, “This is no way out. Everyone is the same. You go back to arrange for the Heavenly Residence and Dessert House to close down first until the government lifts the ban and tells the guests that the coupons they have are still valid until the ban is lifted.”

This was caused by force majeure, and she would not let the guests suffer losses.

“As for the pastry shop, still open first and do as much as they can. Also, you ask your fellows what they want. If everyone wants to go home and rest now, let everyone go back, I will pay wages and year-end bonuses in advance, but I have an idea that it’s rare for everyone to have such a long holiday now and can use it to improve their cooking skills. You and Wang Mingde will teach them. During this period, the wages will be paid as usual. You and Wang Mingde will work harder and I will calculate wages separately.”Ye Jiayao said.

Zhong Xiang’s eyes lit up: “I think it’s very good. Who wouldn’t want to learn cooking and get paid? No one wants to go back. ”

Jiang Yue said: “If the pastry shop is also at leisure, I will also teach and train several pastry apprentices.”

“That’s the decision. You go to arrange it and get a charter. I have no spare time these days. I can’t help it.” Ye Jiayao was powerless when she thought of the terrible mourning.

“All right, I’ll be right back to arrange it.”

“By the way, we should also pay attention to safety during the closing of the business. I’m afraid that a series of recent events are directed at us. You should arrange people to keep watch every day and do a good job of fire prevention and theft prevention. Don’t let small people take advantage of it.” Ye Jiayao recalled Little Ya’s suggestion and had to be careful.

Zhong Xiang’s face slightly changed and he hesitated to say, “These days, some gangsters have been wandering around Heavenly Residence.”

Ye Jiayao’s heart thumped and her face sank and she said, “It’s even more important to watch and let all the brothers lift up their spirits to me. Once they make trouble, they must be caught.”

Zhong Xiang promised that if the Heavenly Residence were also set on fire, the loss would be disastrous, and it would affect everyone’s rice bowls. Naturally, it was duty-bound and prudent.

Poor Ninth Lord took great pains to arrange this, but Ye Jiayao didn’t know it. She took the men who came to defend the Heavenly Residence as the ones who were going to destroy it.

After the two men left, Ye Jiayao washed up and went to bed. Today, she almost collapsed. At this time, she really wanted You or Chunyu to be here. This hostess of marquis house was not easy to be, not only to take care of the housework, but also to deal with so many things. Unfortunately, even if You come back as soon as possible, it would take at least a month. Chunyu didn’t even know in which mountain pimple he was, and there was not even a letter recently.

Thinking about it, Ye Jiayao went to sleep in a daze.

In the middle of the day, Ye Jiayao was woken up, got up, combed her hair, washed her face, put on her gown and went to the palace.

Everyone arrived ahead of time, and no one dared to be late at this time. If you sleep late, you would be given a crime you can’t afford.

However, the ancestor didn’t come, heard that she was ill and went back yesterday and fell down. Ye Jiayao was very worried that a mountain had collapsed and if the ancestor had something wrong. That was really a disaster.

Yide was also very nervous, but she couldn’t get out of here, so she had to send the people around her to take the imperial doctor back to look after the ancestors.

With yesterday’s experience, Ye Jiayao didn’t dare to cry with all her strength today. She cried her throat intermittently to save her strength. The men howled the women and took turns to battle anyway. The whole palace was filled with sorrow and sorrow, which made it even chillier.

During the rest period, Ye Jiayao observed that concubine Shu had not appeared. Is she still grounded? Didn’t even give the chance to mourn the queen mother?

Yide princess said in a low voice, “The queen mother had an imperial decree on her deathbed, so she won’t let concubine Shu come to mourn.”

Er … Ye Jiayao was startled. The queen mother put such a shackle on concubine Shu when she died. Not to mourn for the queen mother was tantamount to not recognizing her as a high-ranked imperial concubine, and it would make people think that concubine Shu had really done a big wrong thing and was punished by the queen mother. The blow to concubine Shu was really heavy. Even if concubine Shu turned over in the future, it would become a stain on her life and would be difficult to wash.

Therefore, the battle in the palace, without the shadow of sword, was chilling in bloodshed.

“Not only that, even King Yu was not allowed to come, but the Emperor still allowed he to come, and this matter should not be publicized.” Yide princess added, her voice was so low that only Ye Jiayao could hear her.

Ye Jiayao was dismayed. It seemed that the emperor would not give up King Yu. Even the queen mother’s last decree was disobeyed.

However, on second thought, you could understand the emperor’s intentions. If King Yu couldn’t came, he was very unfilial and the ancients attach the greatest importance to filial piety. It was impossible for such a person who was very unfilial to inherit the great power. It was not clear whether the emperor really values King Yu. Perhaps, the emperor just wanted a force that could contain the prince.
