Long Live the Empress

Chapter 247 Asking for help

Because Yue Jinghong entered the Prince's Mansion as a concubine and was pregnant in advance, the Old Madam and Yue Hanwen would not arrange a wedding no matter how shameless they were, so at this time only Aunt Su and Yue Tianhong were preparing Yue Jinghong's dowry.

"Jinghong, are you feeling better?" Aunt Su asked worriedly when she saw Yue Jinghong waking up.

"Aunt, I'm much better now. I don't know what happened yesterday. My stomach hurt so much..." Yue Jinghong's eyes turned red when she mentioned this.

"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore! Come and take a look at the dowry!" Aunt Su couldn't bear to see Yue Jinghong sad, so she changed the subject.

It has to be said that Aunt Su really loved Yue Jinghong. The dowry was as much as eighty-six loads. When other women got married, they would have at most sixty-four loads. In comparison, Yue Jinghong's dowry could truly be described as "a thousand acres of fertile land and ten miles of red dowry."

"Auntie..." Yue Jinghong looked at the red makeup all over the yard, and it would be a lie to say she was not moved.

"I am incompetent and cannot let you marry as the legitimate daughter! But our momentum must not be reduced!" There was a hint of jealousy in Aunt Su's eyes. She hated that the man had been dead for so many years and still occupied the position of the principal wife, causing her precious daughter to suffer such injustice.

Yue Tianhong noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly said with a smile: "Yes! Once my sister's dowry is brought out, I wonder how many legitimate daughters will be envious!"

The mother and daughter both laughed, and the gloom over their heads disappeared.

........................

"Miss, are we really going to pray for her?" She felt uncomfortable when she thought that Yue Jinghao went out coldly just to pray for Yue Jinghong.

"She will enter the Prince's Mansion today. How can I, as her elder sister, not show some gratitude?" Yue Jinghao looked at a corner of the carriage with empty eyes, and no one knew what she was looking at.

"Miss is kind-hearted!" Agate was unhappy, but didn't say anything else.

Soon, Lao Ding said, "Miss, we're here!"

"We're here? How come we're here so fast?" Agate looked outside in astonishment. This wasn't a temple at all; it was clearly Qiansui Mansion...

Yan Liyuan was just about to have lunch when he saw Wang Yi running in happily: "Master, Miss Yue is here!"

"Come on, why are you so happy?" Yan Liyuan frowned and scolded, and then he said, "Didn't the kitchen just develop a few desserts? It's a good opportunity to let her try it for me!"

"Yes!" Wang Yi pursed his lips and tried hard to hold back his laughter. His master was just being stubborn. He obviously wanted to please Miss Yue, but he just wouldn't say that.

Yan Liyuan personally moved a few of Yue Jing's favorite dishes to the guest seat before he calmly picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Your servant greets His Majesty the Ninth Prince!" Yue Jinghao had been to His Majesty's Mansion many times, so she didn't feel unfamiliar.

"Well, sit down!" Yan Liyuan didn't seem to look at Yue Jinghao, but in fact he had inadvertently engraved Yue Jinghao's appearance today in his heart.

Yue Jinghao did not refuse and sat directly at the guest seat. She saw that the dishes in front of her "coincidentally" were all her favorites, and she felt a little happy. "Today..."

"Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping..." Yan Liyuan said quietly, directly blocking what Yue Jing wanted to say.

Yue Jinghao raised her eyebrows, didn't thank him, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The food at Qiansui Mansion is indeed delicious. Even Yue Jinghao’s favorite squirrel mandarin fish is cooked differently from that of other places. And the Longjing shrimp dish is simply amazing!

Yan Liyuan and Jiao Yuejing smelled delicious food, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Miss Yue, this is what the governor prepared specially for you! Please try it!" Wang Yi had a flattering look on his face, which made Yan Liyuan want to slap him.

In fact, Yan Liyuan misunderstood Wang Yi. On the one hand, Wang Yi wanted to bring the two of them together, but more importantly, the Spring Examination was approaching, and he wanted Yue Jinghao to give him some advice!

Yue Jinghao looked at the newly served desserts, then looked at Yan Liyuan, "Does the Ninth Thousand Master have something to ask of you?"

"..." A few black lines appeared on Wang Yi's forehead. Couldn't Miss Yue see that her master was trying to please her?

"Isn't it Miss Yue who has something to ask for help?" Yan Liyuan asked back.

"..." Yue Jinghao was silent. Of course, she was the boss of the sky and his second in command. How could he ask her for help in something?

At this moment, the servants brought over several plates of exquisite desserts, which immediately diverted Yue Jinghao's attention.

Even though Yue Jinghao was a queen in her previous life, she had never seen such an exquisite dessert. She took a bite and found it soft and sweet but not greasy, which suited her appetite very well. Before she knew it, she had eaten too much.

She looked at the empty plate with some embarrassment, so she made small talk: "Nine Thousand Years Old can eat such delicious meals every day, I really envy you..."

"Then agree to my request. You can enjoy it every day from now on!" Yan Liyuan said domineeringly yet gently.

"..."

Who would marry a eunuch for a few plates of dessert?

Yue Jinghao didn't know what to say in response, so she just told him the purpose of her visit today.

Yan Liyuan pondered for a moment and said, "What good is this governor doing?"

As expected! Yan Liyuan was the smartest person, he didn't ask why, he just wanted to know what benefits he could get.

"I will personally prepare a meal for you, my Lord!"

"Okay! It's a deal!"
