Chapter 124 Women Also Need Elegance
Ye Yaoyao thought for a moment, then continued to give instructions:
"Also, it is important to maintain a cheerful mood during treatment and avoid anxiety and irritability."
"Miss Ye, I've got it."
In fact, Ye Yaoyao should have addressed Qin Jinyue as her cousin, but he was a member of the royal family.
The Liu family always kept in mind the difference between ruler and subject, and dared not presume to associate with the Empress Dowager's descendants. Qin Jinyue naturally would not use this relationship to get close to them, and the two sides could only discuss cooperation.
After finishing her task, Ye Yaoyao went out to greet her relatives in their private room.
"Yaoyao, awesome!"
Xin Chuli stopped talking after she started eating. When she saw someone coming, she gave her a thumbs up. It's true that delicious food can shut someone up.
"Little sister Yaoyao, you've won over my stomach."
This was the second time Ye Yaoyao had heard these words, and the speaker was Wei Shaohan.
"Haha! If it's delicious, eat more. If you get tired of other foods, you can come here to change things up."
The meals of officials in the capital were indeed quite light, and the hot pot dipping sauce was very flavorful and truly appealing.
"Okay! Okay! Then you'll have to give me a discount when I come."
“Brother Shaohan, you’ve come to the wrong person. My sister manages the restaurant; you should say that to her.”
"Sister Xiyao has such abilities, I'm truly impressed!"
Ye Xiyao laughed and said, "I don't have that much ability. It was my sister who came up with the idea. But we'll give you all a discount when you come to dine here in the future."
"Grandpa, does this taste familiar?" Ye Yaoyao walked over to Doctor Han and asked him with a smile.
"It's been so long since I've had hot pot, it's great to be able to have it again!"
Doctor Han nodded, sat down, and silently savored the meal. Only he could taste the memories of this meal—the joyful memories of his family gathering together in his previous life.
"From then on, I'll often invite you to eat hot pot."
"Good! Good!" Doctor Han nodded with a smile.
"Grandpa, how is Liu Tiansheng doing at your place?"
"The young man is a good one, quite diligent. He finishes all his work before he goes to read books," Doctor Han praised Liu Tiansheng.
"That's good."
After saying goodbye, Ye Yaoyao returned to Qin Jingyu's private room, where she saw him sipping a cup of tea.
Ye Yaoyao found him rather strange; while others drank alcohol, he drank tea, never imagining it was because she was there.
"I am back."
"Hmm!" Qin Jingyu saw her put down her teacup and pick up some food to cook, her expression focused, as if she only had eyes for the hot pot in front of her.
Ye Yaoyao looked at his focused expression and thought to herself:
[Isn't this handsome man curious about why the Second Prince sought me out?]
Qin Jingyu raised his right eyebrow but remained silent.
Ye Yaoyao said to him:
"Your Highness, we searched through books all day yesterday but couldn't find any information about what a phoenix tail flower looks like. Do you have any rare copies?"
"open to take a look!"
Qin Jingyu handed her a small box that was placed to the side. Inside were books, the books on Gu techniques that Ye Yaoyao had asked him for.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Yaoyao's eyes lit up.
Wow! That handsome guy is so quick! I have to give him a thumbs up and treat him to a few more hot pot meals.
Qin Jingyu did not answer, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The last book was a medical book, which looked very old. It contained a record of the phoenix tail flower, but unfortunately it was only mentioned briefly and its specific appearance was not described.
"This phoenix tail flower is truly mysterious."
"They've become extinct, so they're really hard to find."
"Oh! There are records of Nightshade Vine, but it was burned. We're counting on the four mountainous regions to have some deep in the mountains."
"Which four?"
I'll write it to you in a bit.
"Hmm! There's another place we can look."
"Where?"
"The black market has the most strange and unusual items, and my people have been keeping an eye on that side."
"The black market, the underground marketplace?" Ye Yaoyao perked up instantly.
"Ok!"
"Where is it?" Ye Yaoyao's eyes revealed her longing.
"If you want to go, I'll take you there," Qin Jingyu said with a smile, pinching her cheek.
"Alright! Your Highness, please eat more."
Ye Yaoyao smiled brightly and kept piling meat into his bowl.
The black market only opens at night. After Ye Yaoyao finished reading the books on Gu techniques and had dinner, it was just the right time for her to go out.
"Fu Ling, get ready to change into men's clothing."
"Ah! Miss, are you going to a brothel again?"
When Fu Ling heard that she had changed into men's clothing, she was startled.
"No, I need to go to the black market."
"This servant will go too."
"You don't need to go, I have something to tell you."
"Miss, please speak!"
"Guo Deren has been looking for a doctor recently. It's time to see him. Find a way to let him know that a miracle doctor has come to the capital. Let him wait and see, and then he'll come to you for help."
"Miss!" Fu Ling looked at Ye Yaoyao with a mournful expression. It was already getting dark, and the fact that she was being asked to do this task clearly meant that she wasn't allowed to go along.
"Don't worry, I'm with Prince Jing right now. My elder brother knows that. They'll talk to my mother."
"Then, Miss, please come back soon."
"Okay, hurry up and change your clothes."
Upon leaving the house, a carriage was parked outside. Lian Jin, sitting in the driver's seat, saw Ye Yaoyao dressed in men's clothing and immediately said:
"Miss Ye, please!"
Ye Yaoyao went up to the carriage, which was spacious and bright. Qin Jingyu was playing chess alone.
"You're here! Let's play a game of chess."
"it is good!"
Ye Yaoyao quickly sat down, looked around the chessboard, and then carefully picked up a white piece and put it down.
"Didn't you defeat a talented scholar? Why are you still so rusty?"
"You taught me that game of chess; it wasn't based on my own skill."
Every time Qin Jingyu made a move, Ye Yaoyao had to think it over before making her own. She was just a nobody now, while her opponent was a big shot. She might lose, but she didn't want to lose too badly.
Just as Ye Yaoyao placed her piece, Qin Jingyu placed his black piece the next moment, and several white pieces were captured.
Ye Yaoyao frowned slightly, looking conflicted and somewhat distressed.
[Oh dear! Something felt off as soon as I landed; that handsome man was too fast.]
[Host, you've asked the handsome man to let you download it again.]
That won't do. A wise man never takes back his moves.
You're not a gentleman.
Women should also have their own style.
[Fine! Then you just wait and see if you lose everything.]
[Hmm! As long as I don't lose to Ye Chengzhu, it's fine.]
【Prosperity! 】
Qin Jingyu nodded casually. Not long after, Ye Yaoyao suffered a crushing defeat, a truly humiliating one.
"Let's play one more round." Even though she lost, Ye Yaoyao was even more excited.
"I'll give you a three-piece handicap this round," Qin Jingyu said with a smile.
Hmm! That works too!
[Host, aren't women supposed to have manners too?]
[Since I'm going to lose anyway, let's see what level I am when I get a three-stone handicap.]
After giving up three pieces, Qin Jingyu showed no mercy, and Ye Yaoyao still suffered a crushing defeat.
"Ugh! So bad, not a single improvement."
"There has been progress."
"Ah! Where? Where?"
Upon hearing that there had been progress, she herself didn't feel it, but eagerly inquired, her face full of anticipation.
"Holding the chess pieces feels more natural."
Qin Jingyu's eyes were full of smiles, and Ye Yaoyao's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a pout.
"Okay! That's progress."
