Chapter 121: No Such Thing As Most Shameless

Translator: YTJS_  Editor: Perriemix

Deng Haichuan ran to the Jing An Marquis’ residence but was told that the Heir-Son Lord has gone to Puji Temple with Song Qi. He tried for the Third Young Master Xia, but the gatekeeper said that he was working at the Zhan Shi residence.

Deng Haichuan could only request for the gatekeeper to tell the Heir-Son Lord that Head Chef Li Yao of Heavenly Residence was in the palace.

Deng Haichuan, not finding the help he needed in the Jing An Marquis’ mansion, made his way to the Helian Mansion. He found Manager Liu and relayed the urgency of his visit.

Manager Liu then got someone to take Deng Haichuan to the army to look for the Young Royal Highness Jing.

“What? Who summoned him to the palace? When was this?” Helian Jing asked anxiously.

Deng Haichuan shook his head helplessly. “I don’t know. Brother Yao himself probably doesn’t know, too! He has been gone for almost an hour now.”

Helian Jing fretted. Today was really a bad day for Yaoyao to get in trouble. The two people who have the most power were all quite a distance away. His older brother has gone to the campsite and Brother Chunyu has gone to Puji Temple, so he was on his own now.

The Crown Prince! The Crown Prince likes Yaoyao!

Helian Jing ordered, “Go back to the restaurant. I will handle this.”

Deng Haichuan replied, “Then I shall leave now.” He was halfway out when he stopped and looked back worriedly, “Young Royal Highness, will Brother Yao be alright?”

“I won’t let any harm come his way,” Helian Jing answered. If he could not find any help, he’ll go alone.

After Deng Haichuan left, Helian Jing asked the guard at the palace doors if a eunuch had brought someone from outside into the palace. The guard said that Eunuch Shi from Concubine Mei’s palace brought a young man in just a while ago.

Helian Jing was puzzled. Why did Concubine Mei summon Yaoyao? Yaoyao has nothing to do with her!

The concubines’ palaces were not a place where officials like him can just barge in, so Helian Jing could only get Ping An to watch the outside of Zhao Hua palace while he looked for the Crown Prince.

However, the Crown Prince was still in a meeting with the Emperor discussing national affairs, and it was uncertain when they’ll be done. Helian Jing was so anxious he could feel his heart burning.

Ye Jiayao has never seen anyone so shameless.

Initially, when she heard that Concubine Mei liked the ice cream mooncake, she had thought that she’d be rewarded. She didn’t expect that the concubine would demand her recipe! Concubine Mei reasoned that despite Ye Jiayao’s willingness to make the food for her anytime, there were still dangers outside the palace. She said that Ye Jiayao should just teach the royal chef the process to save everyone the hassle.

Ye Jiayao wanted to slap her upside the head. This was her money-making skill, how dare she demand to just give it to her?

Ye Jiayao tried hard to control her anger, replying tactfully, “If Your Highness likes them, I can send it to you daily. The food I make is definitely clean and hygienic.”

Concubine Mei frowned, unhappy with the little chef’s refusal. She asked for it, why wouldn’t he just give it to her?

“Delicacies like this would definitely be very popular with the imperial concubines. If all of them wants it, can you manage to send them over every day? If you’re afraid that the imperial chef would disclose your secret recipe, don’t worry. The palace has strict rules, no one would dare to break them,” Concubine Mei assured, leisurely using the cover of her cup to brush away the floating tea leaves.
