<h4>Chapter 206: Importance of peace</h4>


    The Lord was not happy either. To miss the hour would be a great disrespect to the gods of our ancestors.


    “send someone to ask,” the master said in a deep voice.


    “they areing,” said Xia Chunli


    Everyone toward the door look, see Xia Chunfeng support the limping ss slowly walk.


    “What’s... What’s going on?” Yusuf asked in surprise.


    Chun Feng said: st night carelessly to the ankle sprain, think nothing serious, rubbing with wine, the result today up, swollen not like.”


    “that you still let her go to the ground, also very not sensible.” You Shi Bo berates a way.


    ss lightly cu eyebrow, like endure pain, reluctantly exhibition Yan, Wen Wan Way: “Don’t me him, ancestor worship is a big thing, Hope didn’t dy the hour just good.”


    Hou Ye see her like this still strong toe over, under the heart of the ss impression greatly improved, think of the child just don’t understand, Wayward Point, the nature is still good.


    “Begin!” The Lord said simply, and the ceremony began.


    First is the worship of heaven, after the ancestor worship, male in front, female family in the back, Grand Kowtow, extremely cumbersome.


    Ye Jiayao secretly observe ss, but see herme feet, get up kneeling are very difficult, but is meticulous toplete each action. Such ss is really strange ah, it is the power of Love?


    After the sacrifice was over, it was time for you to send someone to carry the soft sedan chair and let the colored ze go back. He urged that his feet should be healed. Don’t go to the ground these days, or you will be in trouble if you fall into the root of your illness, he also told the bell keeper to send for the Doctor. Apparently, he was nervous about Liuli’s foot injury.


    Everyone also went back to their rooms, ateba porridge, ye Jiayao crooked in bed, kneading the sour waist humming and chirping: “in fact, the person who should sit in the sedan chair is me, I did not a ce does not hurt, the bones are almost broken.”


    Xia chunyuughs at way: “want to sit a sedan chair son also have a saying, your reason has colored ze so just?”


    Ye Jiayao cruelly gouged his eye: “you still have the nerve to say, you this culprit.”


    Xia Chunyu came over and smiled. “you don’t have a sedan chair. At least someone is giving you a massage! It hurts all over, doesn’t it? Come on, I’ll give you a full body massage.”


    Looking at his ill-intentioned manner, ye Jiayao startled: “go away, go away, don’t youe hypocritical.”


    “How is hypocritical? I have the sincerity very good.” The summer chunyu can not help but say of press her on the bed.


    “it is daytime now, if somebodyes in to seeter, still let not let a person live...” ye Jiayao hurriedly struggles, he wants to toss about again, she had to crawl.


    Look at her that panicky look, Xia Chunyu mood iparable good, deliberately tease her: “you behave well, the people are very sensible, did not get summons, who wille in? Peace of mind!”


    Rx my ass, these two days have been too unrestrained, full of tricks, let herpletely overwhelmed.


    He was held down can not move, a pair of big hands in her back rub, from the shoulders to the tailbone, where a piece of acid numbness, but also very bad fun to explore her body.


    Ye Jiayao just about to scream, he left again, continue from the tail start press, along the spine of a section of the upward. To the ribs, his fingers are not honest to her chest drill, low with a smile of evil charm: “Here Rise?”


    Ye Jiayao is about to cry, this is not called massage ah, is clearly provocative, tease, make her hot, dry, hot up.


    At this rate, she’ll lose the gate again.


    “Don’t press it. I’m much better now.”


    “so effective?”


    “HMMM, really much better.” Ye Jiayao a face sincerely nodded, only looking forward to this grinding massage soon end.


    “really?”


    “mm-hmm, really.”


    “well, since there’s nothing else to do at the moment, why don’t...” he leaned over, his hot breath breathing down her neck, and tickling her soft ears with the tip of his tongue.


    She wanted to say no, absolutely no, but as soon as she said it, it turned out to be: “Why not?”


    The smell of disorder, the flush of the face, the watery eyes, this line of questioning had the effect of suggestion and encouragement.


    Xia Chun was ready to go. Seeing her so charming, she spoke softly. Where was she still restrained? She broke the tie between the two of them and stretched out her hand to the private and secret ce, xia Chun in exultation, a hand buckle her slender waist, a straight body, so from behind the top in.


    These two days make hard, that ce hot pain, although it is wet, but can not help his so strong attack, Ye Jiayao head buried in the pillow, thin moan. They had been together for a long time, and they could feel his temper in bed and in business. If she kept silent, he would get even worse, and he would insist that she make a sound. If she was too emotional, it would be even worse, he’s gonna turn into a monster.


    Of course, she was more worried about being heard by the outside world, at the moment, jo-hee is still cherry, right outside, she’s not an ancient, she doesn’t mind doing this during the day, but she’s surrounded by the ancients, proiming by day, that’s what horny women do.


    “Yao Yao, is this all right? Is this all right?” He backed out slowly and pushed deep into the tight, hot interior,fortable only to sigh.


    Can she say no? Can you say “sad”? Did It Work? Ye Jiayao hummed at random.


    Seeing that she did not answer, he withdrew and lifted her waist, making her kneel on the bed, and again went in. It was daylight, the light was bright, the perfect curve of the waist, the fullness of the hips, the fullness of the hips, and the mystery of the region is clear, see his eyes a red, start hard.


    Ye Jiayao Shivers uncontrobly, every time he pushes in, all seem to use all one’s strength, too deep, can not stand... she has to whine to beg.


    “easy, easy... I’m dying...”


    No, it was almost there, as he understood it. She thought she would just grit her teeth and hold on a little longer, but today he didn’t seem to want to be so quick as she wanted. He slowed down his pace and applied a gentle force, and when she had calmed down a little, another violent storm.


    Also do not know how long, Ye Jiayao a pool of water like the paralysis on the bed, he was lying on her body, and did not withdraw, let those scorching stay inside for a while, is it easy to get pregnant?


    “Ye Jiayao tired to exhaustion, dry lips dry mouth dry, Sad Way:” you also control some, my waist acid can not walk


    “yours will be here soon enough not to touch you for days,” he said dejectedly, plucking at her disheveled hair.


    “that you also can not toss about in the grave!” Ye Jiayao fire big, Nyima County, is originally saved this thought.


    “Why don’t you ask Josh to get some hot water, and I’ll carry you to a Hot Bath?”


    “do not.” In broad daylight soak in a hot bath, deeply afraid that people do not know what they did?


    Until soon to dinner, Xia Chunyu just put him up, see her listless, is really very tired, can not help but send a kind heart: “let you have a good rest tonight.”


    Ye Jiayao squinted at him, deeply skeptical of his assurances.


    At lunch time, ss did note, you let people send ss favorite dishes to eat.


    The servant girl delivers a rice toe back, you shi asks again: “Did 3 Little Grandma Eat? Foot injury can have better?”


    The servant girl said: “The Three Little Grandmas are eating, let madam you don’t need to worry about, a few dayster the swelling subsided.”


    You’s face rxed a point, to Ye Jiayao and Joe’s way: “she is more and more sensible, I said to call a doctor to see, she refused, said that is lest disturb the queen mother, let the Queen Worry.”


    Ye Jiayao found Joe more and more like a king: “third sister-inw is changed a lot, to say, this is all the mother’s contribution, third sister-inw before one also told me that she grew up without a mother, her mother is really good to her, just like mother.”


    You’s Smile of relief, she has been worried about the handle of this noble daughter-inw, now it seems that she is overanxious.


    Ye Jiayao apanyugh, but in the mind can not be so optimistic, ss a change of normal, easily won you’s heart, especially today to participate in the sacrifice, it seems that even the Lord also on her face and a lot of pleasure.


    She is absolutely do not believe in Liuli to seriously do a filial daughter-inw, do a gentle wife, Liuli in this home more favored, for her, is not a good thing.


    We’ll see! I hope she’s wrong.


    In the afternoon, Xia Chunyu went to the study, let ye Jiayao safely slept a nap.


    When she got up, the two of them went to the House of Helen.


    Laba festival, the court ording to the usual holiday, so Xiaojing also in the house.


    We all sat in the ancestral home and talked.


    “hear, you made a gift box again, see, all sent to me here.” The old ancestor cackles a way.


    Ye Jiayao Guan er way: “those cakes, suitable for thedy, I specially brought my grandmother easily digestible.”


    Jiang Yue holds a food box at the right time.


    “or do you have the heart to bring me food from time to time.” The ancestors were happy to call people up.


    “as long as Grandma doesn’t mind,” ye Jiayao said.


    “the old ancestor just won’t disrelish what you do, the old ancestor’s stomach is fed by you diao, now the old ancestor is disrelish the cook in the house, I changed two cooks, the old ancestor is still not satisfied!” Princess Yi de Chang said with a smile.


    The old ancestorughed and said, “you make me sound so difficult to please.”


    “I was just boasting about Jin Xuan!” Princess Yi de-changughed.


    “that’s true,” said the old ancestor, “but I don’t deny that what Jane Xuan has done is most to my taste.”.


    “the old ancestor, the most disadvantageous person is me, the Jin Xuan is thinking of you, is thinking of the Elder in the home, I want to let her do some to eat, she is all toozy to answer me.” The Summer Chunyu calls Qu.


    Ye Jiayao gave him a look, you ya toss about the people are almost falling apart, still want me to do for you to eat? Nice try.


    It made the ancestorsugh andugh.


    Xiaojingughed with him, but she was worried. Yao Yao’s face didn’t look so good. She looked even thinner than at the cook-off. Didn’t she have a good time at the pce?


    Helian Jing might have those doubts, but he couldn’t get the chance to ask Yaoyao with Xia Chunyu following around.


    With no other choice, he looked at Jiang Yue meaningfully before walking out.


    Jiang Yue was confused but when he saw the Young Royal Highness walked out, she followed quietly.


    Chunyu noticed but chose not to say anything.


    “Yue, is your master sick?” Little Jing asked outside the room.


    “N…No, she’s not,” Jiang Yue answered.


    “Then why did she lose so much weight?”


    Jiang Yue has been with the Second Young Lady every minute of every day so she hasn’t noticed the change. However, as she thought about it, she realized that the Second Young Lady has indeed lost some weight. Perhaps it was because of the drama with the Heir-son Lord, or maybe it was the overloading business at Heavenly Residence.


    “Maybe it’s because she’s been working too much! The bakery and the restaurant are both doing good!” Jiang Yue didn’t dare to mention the drama between the Second Young Lady and the Heir-son Lord.


    Yaoyao was already ady at the Marquis’ mansion, why was she still working hard? It wasn’t like Brother Chunyu needed the money. They should be prioritizing health over money.


    “Advice your master not to wear herself out. Health should still be her number one priority,” he told Jiang Yue.


    “I will,” she answered obediently.


    Little Jing also ordered Ping An to take some cubilose and ginseng to Yaoyaoter.


    Back in the house, Princess Yu De was busy talking about the uing Spring Festival.


    “Since Xuan’s not home, we’ll just be having a gathering feast within the family. It’s on the twenty-seventh so you better clear your schedule for that.”


    Xia Chunyu nodded.


    “I’lle in earlier so I can make us a great meal,” said Ye Jiayao.


    The Old Ancestress said, “You are already busy, and I’m sure you’ll get even busier during the Spring festival. You need to rest. Look at you, you have lost some weight since Ist saw you. Chunyu, have you not been treating Jinxuan well?”


    Xia Chunyu quickly replied with exaggerated sadness, “Old Ancestress, I am under her thumb. I don’t and can’t treat her bad in any way.”


    Ye Jiayao held the urge to roll her eyes and worked hard to keep a shy smile on her face.


    The Old Acestressughingly said, “Yeah, I bet you don’t have the guts to do that. Besides, you know I won’t allow you to bully her.


    “Ease up, Old Ancestress,” Yu De defended. “Xia You has told me that ever since they got married, all that was on Chunyu’s mind is his wife. She evenined that he has no more room in his heart for his mom.”


    “My mom is exaggerating,” Chunyu told them, trying not tough. “I am not that obvious!”


    The rest of them burst intoughter.


    As they headed off, Little Jing walked the couple to the door. Ping An handed him two bags and Little Jing, in turn, gave it to Chunyu. “Mother wants you guys to have these.”


    Xia Chunyu took the bag with a wary smile. “Thanks.”


    Back in the Jing An Marquis Mansion, Xia Chunyu waited for Yaoyao to walk inside before turning to Jiang Yue.


    “What did the Young Royal Highness say to you?” he asked.


    Jiang Yue’s eyes widened, surprised that the Heir-son Lord knew about it. She couldn’t lie to him, but she also knew that she couldn’t tell him the full truth. The Second Young Lady and the Heir-son Lord has just made up, she doesn’t want to risk saying anything that might cause any problem again. “Young Royal Highness just asked whether the Second Young Lady is sick as she looked off. I told him that she’s just been busy with the bakery and the restaurant.”


    Xia Chunyu hesitated for a bit before waving Jiang Yue away.


    Of course, he was upset that Little Jing still cared about Yaoyao, but he was more upset that he hasn’t noticed the change in Yaoyao. Even the Old Ancestress with her bad eyesight could tell that Yaoyao has lost some weight.


    Ye Jiayao opened the two paper bags was surprised to see cubilose and ginseng. She was almost certain that this was all Little Jing’s idea and that Princess Yu De had nothing to do with it.


    Qiao Xi suddenly walked in and told her in quiet tones, “Second Young Lady, the First Young Mistress paid a visit to the Third Young Mistress this afternoon and stayed for quite a while. Lady Yulian and Third Madame also visited the Third Young Mistress while you were out. Should you do the same too?”


    Ye Jiayao thought about it. It might just be a sprained ankle, but for it to happen to someone with Liu Li’s status, it’s a big deal. If she didn’t at least appear concerned, she woulde off as rude.


    Ye Jiayao nodded and said, “Get some top gtin ready. It’s good for promoting blood cirction. We’ll go after dinner.”


    After dinner, just before Ye Jiayao was about to announce that she was going to visit Liu Li, Xia You said, “Second Daughter-inw,e with me to visit Liu Li.”


    Xia You was worried about Liu Li’s injury, but she also wanted to put the animosity between Liu Li and Jinxuan to rest. She figured if she was there to mediate, it would lessen the awkwardness between the two young girls.


    Ye Jiayao quickly said, “I was just about to go to her. I had some top gtin prepared for her.”


    Xia You nodded, pleased that Jinxuan was so sensible.


    Chunfeng was rubbing medicinal liquor to Liu Li’s ankle but she kept yelling due to the pain.


    “Just stay still. This will help you heal faster,” Chunfeng said helplessly.


    “But you are rubbing way too hard!” Liu Li cried out. “Let Little Ya do it.”


    He snorted. “She would never be able to do it. One cry from you and she’ll immediately stop.”


    Little Ya nodded in agreement. Prince Consort was right.


    “Princess, Madame and Second Young Lady are here,” a servant reported.


    Chunfeng packed up everything hurriedly and gently put Liu Li’s leg back into the quilt, while Liu Li wiped her tears away.


    The smell of medicine was prominent as Ye Jiayao and Xia You stepped in.


    Liu Li pretended to get up to greet her but Xia You stopped her.


    “There’s no need to get up. Just stay lying down.”


    “Mother, I feel bad that you came here despite such bad weather,” Liu Li said shyly.


    Xia You smiled and said, “Jinxuan was about toe to visit you so I tagged along. I was worried and wanted to see how you’re doing. I know that Chunfeng doesn’t know how to take care of others.”


    Little Ya chimed in, “Madame, Third Young Master has been taking good care of the Princess. He was just rubbing some medicine on her ankle before you came in.”


    Chunfeng raised his brows yfully at his mom. He might not be good at taking care of other sicknesses, but he’s seen plenty of injuries and wounds.


    “Second Sister-inw, thank you for visiting me,” Liu Li said to Jinxuan. “I’m actually okay now. I’m sorry for giving you guys so much trouble.”


    Ye Jiayao replied, “We are family, it’s no trouble. You just have to take care of that sprain so it heals faster. I brought you some top gtin for blood cirction.


    She thought that the reason Xia You wanted her to apany her to her visit to Liu Li was out of worry. It wasn’t until she heard what You said that she understood the real reason why.


    Liu Li smiled. “Second Sister-inw, I rather you bring me a cake. I’m so done with medicines.”


    “I’ll make you one tomorrow,” said Ye Jiayao generously.


    They sat down and chatted for a while before heading off.


    Chunfeng walked them out.


    As soon as they were out of earshot, Liu Li pushed the gtin that Jinxuan brought and ordered, “Throw this away, Little Ya.”


    “Princess, it’s a shame to throw a gift away. Even if you don’t want it, you can give it to others,” Little Ya reasoned.


    Liu Li snorted. “Looking at her gifts makes me sick.”


    Little Ya persuaded, “Princess, your injury has drawn Madame’s attention and care to you. The more that Madame thinks and worries about you, the more she’s pulling away from the Second Young Mistress. You can’t risk falling out of her favor by doing anything bad again.”


    Liu Li sighed. Little Ya was right. If she was to win against Jinxuan, she needs to y nice long enough to win over others’ hearts and get Jinxuan to drop her guard.


    The n of spraining her ankle came from Little Ya. Little Ya said that it would gain her sympathy from everyone and it did. With all the attention and care she’s getting, the pain she had to endure was worth it.


    Liu Li looked at Little Ya appreciatively. Her servant might look submissive but she has some smart ideas. Ideas that were way better than Mother Shu’s.


    On the way back, Ye Jiayao kept recalling her interaction with Liu Li. She was so… nice. She couldn’t find any crack with her actions which led her to question if Liu Li has had a change of heart.


    Was Liu Li being genuine or did she just get better at deception?


    At night, as they were lying on the bed, Ye Jiayao mentioned the meeting to Chunyu.


    “You think Liu Li has actually be nicer?” she asked.


    Chunyu, who was more focused on his reading, replied absent-mindedly, “I’ve heard that she’s getting along with Chunfeng pretty welltely, and he seems to be in a good mood as well.”


    “Do you mean that Chunfeng has changed Liu Li?”


    “It’s possible. Since she has caused so much dramast time, I think she realized that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager won’t always be on her side. If she wants to be happy, she has to get along with Chunfeng. If she wants to get along with Chunfeng, she has no other choice but to change her attitude.”


    Ye Jiayao stared at the patterns on top of the bed, deep in thought.


    What Chunyu said was right. Maybe Liu Li had turned a new leaf. Maybe she was just overthinking this whole thing.


    Xia Chunyu pinched the tip of her nose lightly. “Stop woolgathering. Don’t you want them to get along peacefully? What else are you worried about? Go to sleep. I’m going to do some more reading.”


    Ye Jiayao turned and cuddled up to him, throwing her legs over his.


    “Okay, don’t stay up toote.” With her head on his arm, she closed her eyes and let sleep take her.


    Desire rose up in Chunyu with the feel of her soft warm body wrapped around him. He was about to say something when he saw the dark circles under her eyes. She needed her rest.


    So, Xia Chunyu took a deep breath, ordered himself to calm down, and turned his attention back to his book.
