Chapter 45 Young Prince Jing
"Xiao Jing? Is it really you? How come you are here?" Xia Chunyu asked in surprise. He looked at Helian Jing, who was wearing a gray cloth, the clothes of ordinary people. His originally fair skin was tanned into a bronze color. He suddenly realized, "Did you sneak out of the house?"

The young prince of the Helian Palace is a rather troublesome guy, he loves to join in the fun and likes to get involved in everything. The year before last, when Helian Xuan went to southern Fujian to expel the pirates, he slipped away from home. Fortunately, he was caught before he left the city. This time Helian Xuan went to Shandong to suppress the bandits, he probably wants to run away to Shandong again, maybe he has already been to Shandong, otherwise, how could he look so down and out.

I don't know how much suffering he went through along the way, but Prince Helian's mansion must have been in chaos.

Helian Jing's eyes flickered as he estimated the possibility of escaping from Chunyu Ge's hands.

Xia Chunyu saw through his thoughts at a glance, and as soon as he took a step with his right foot, Xia Chunyu blocked his way.

"Where do you want to go? Follow me back to Jinling."

Helian Jing said with a sad face: "No, Brother Chunyu, I came here with my friend, I can't leave him alone!"

Xia Chunyu's face darkened: "Which bastard did you kidnap again?"

"How could I kidnap anyone? I was almost kidnapped. Thanks to Brother Jin Yao for rescuing me and bringing me back." Helian Jing said in a low voice, fearing that Brother Chunyu would misunderstand Dayaoyao as a bad person.

Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself...Brother Jin Yao? Yao Yao? Is it a man?
"Is this the friend you just called?"

"Yes! He is over there, I will go call him." Helian Jing said and was about to run away.

Xia Chunyu grabbed his arm and said, "Let's go together."

He must not let Xiaojing slip away from under his nose.

Helian Jing had no choice. He didn't dare to act rudely in front of Brother Chunyu, and he couldn't escape, so he had to take Brother Chunyu to find Ye Jiayao.

"Eh? Where's the person? He was clearly here just now." When Helian Jing arrived at the dough figurine-making stall, he didn't see Ye Jiayao, and there was no one around. He became inexplicably nervous and asked the dough figurine-making master, "Where's the guy who came here to make dough figurines just now?"

The dough figurine craftsman was still busy with his work, and said without raising his head: "The young man said that if anyone wants to see him, he should say that he suddenly had a stomachache and left first."

Uh... what does this mean? He was fine before, why does he have a stomachache now? Did the snacks he ate go bad? But he ate so much and he was fine.

Helian Jing said worriedly: "Brother Chunyu, my friend doesn't seem to be feeling well, I have to go find him."

Seeing that he was not pretending to be anxious, Xia Chunyu asked, "Where do you live?"

Helian Jing knew that he couldn't escape after meeting Chunyu Ge, and he wanted to play with Dayaoyao all the way back. So he pointed to the pier and said, "We came here by boat, and the boat is parked at the pier."

Xia Chunyu thought for a moment, motioned for the guards behind him to come over, and ordered: "Follow Young Prince Jing, and when he finds his friends, take him directly to the boat. Remember, if you lose Young Prince Jing, you don't have to come back."

The two guards responded loudly. From this moment on, their eyes would always be on Young Prince Jing.

Ye Jiayao waited until they all left before coming out from the alley not far away.

I really didn't expect that Xiao Jingjing knew Jilu and seemed to be afraid of Jilu. This world is big and small. Anyone picked up from Daming Lake can be related to Jilu. It's rare to meet Jilu while shopping in Yangzhou. It's amazing.

Does this mean they are destined to be together? Pah, this is a bad fate, a piece of shit, I don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.

"Young man, the dough figurines are ready. Do you want more?" asked the dough figurine master.

Ye Jiayao took out two copper coins and gave them to him, then took the dough figurine and went after Xiao Jingjing.

It looked like Xiao Jingjing was going to leave with Chunlu. They had to say goodbye after accompanying each other all the way. Fortunately, Chunlu went in another direction, otherwise there would be no chance to say goodbye.

Helian Jing returned to the boat and called out for Yaoyao loudly. He searched inside and outside the boat, but no one was there. Big Yaoyao had not come back, and Li Mao and the others were not on the boat either.

Helian Jing was extremely anxious. Where did Yaoyao go?

"Boatman, boatman, have you seen my brother?" Helian Jing ran to ask the boatman.

The boatman pointed to the shore and said, "Isn't that your brother?"

As soon as Ye Jiayao arrived at the dock, she deliberately covered her stomach and moved slowly. Helian Jing saw her and ran over to help her: "What's wrong with you? Why do you have a stomachache?"

Ye Jiayao waved her hands weakly: "Don't mention it, maybe the thousand-layer cake is too sweet. I can't eat anything too sweet. I get a stomachache when I eat it."

"How are you now? Do you want to hire a doctor?" Helian Jing asked with concern. Anyway, he had Brother Chunyu now and could ask him for money.

"No need, I'm much better now. I'll be fine after a rest." Ye Jiayao felt warm in her heart when she saw that he was really anxious.

Helian Jing helped her into the cabin and sat her down, then went to pour her some water, complaining, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you couldn't eat anything too sweet? You could have chosen not to eat it!"

Ye Jiayao curled her lips: "How could I know it was so sweet? I've already taken a bite. We can't waste food!"

Helian Jing said angrily: "It's all wasted anyway." "Tell me quickly, what did you gain from the ring toss?" Ye Jiayao changed the subject.

Helian Jing thought of his spoils, and happily went to get them, saying as if offering a treasure: "Look, a porcelain doll, I'll put copper coins in it for you."

Ye Jiayao liked the porcelain doll because it was fat and cute, but she said disdainfully, "Only girls like this kind of doll."

Uh, I was disliked.

Helian Jing was a little disappointed and said angrily: "It's better than your broken jar anyway. I specially put it in your bag. Do you want it?"

Ye Jiayao snatched it and held it in her arms: "Yes, but it cost me five copper coins, of course I want it."

Helian Jing was so annoyed that he kept muttering, "That requires some skill, do you think it's easy?"

Ye Jiayao smiled, but she felt bitter and unhappy in her heart. Little Jingjing was leaving. This abominable, pitiful and lovely little guy had caused her a lot of trouble along the way, but also brought her a lot of joy. Fortunately, he was there to keep her company when she was so frustrated.

"This is for you, but it's made in my image." Ye Jiayao gave him her own little dough figurine.

When Helian Jing saw the little noodle man, he laughed out loud: "Da Yaoyao, what kind of weird gesture is that? It's so funny."

As he spoke, Helian Jing imitated Ye Jiayao and made a scissors sign beside his ear. His narrow eyes were curved, revealing his white and neat teeth and deep dimples. His smile was so bright and sunny, and she might never see such a bright smile again.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes and sneered, "Silly, if you can't learn it, don't try."

Helian Jing happily put away the dough and said to her, "Yaoyao, I just met my brother's friend. He will take us back to Jinling."

we?

Ye Jiayao was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "I can't go with you."

Helian Jing was surprised: "Why?"

Ye Jiayao racked her brains to find an excuse: "Because... because... because I promised Mr. Li that I would cook for the caravan. I can't go back on my word. If I leave, what will Li Mao and the others eat in the future? Things must be done from beginning to end."

"What should I do?" Helian Jing became worried. Brother Chunyu would never agree to let him stay. He didn't want to be separated from Dayaoyao.

Ye Jiayao said: "How about you go with your brother's friends first, and I'll go with Li Mao and the others. I'll come find you when we get to Jinling!"

Helian Jing was unhappy for a long time, then he looked up at Ye Jiayao and said unhappily, "Do you promise to come find me?"

"Of course you still owe me money. You promised to pay me double when you get to Nanjing. You won't default on your debt, will you?" Ye Jiayao teased.

Helian Jing's neck stiffened: "Am I that kind of person?"

But now that he revealed his true identity, would she still dare to come to him?
"Young Prince Jing, it's getting late." Xia Chunyu's guards urged outside.

Ye Jiayao was stunned. Young Prince Jing?

She knew he was a rich kid, wearing a pair of Yunshuibi that cost more than 100 taels of silver, but she never dared to think that he was a prince. Oh my god, what happened to this world? She could run into a prince in a bandit's den, and even pick up a prince on the side of the road. Was she just too lucky, or were there too many princes in this world?

Seeing her shocked expression, she was obviously frightened. Helian Jing explained uncomfortably: "Well...well...I thought I would tell you after we arrived in Jinling."

Ye Jiayao was still in shock.

Damn, the little prince lived with her on a bunk bed, slept in the pavilion of a dilapidated temple, stole watermelons with her, and even broke into the manure vat... Well, she had been married to the prince, and had gone through hardships with the little prince. It was really a wonderful and exciting life. But it was too exciting, and she couldn't bear it.

"Young Prince Jing..." someone outside was urging him again.

Helian Jingxiong said: "Why are you rushing me? You are rushing me to death!"

There was no sound outside.

Helian Jing held Ye Jiayao's arm and said seriously, "Yaoyao, I'll tell you the truth. I'm the young prince of the Helian Palace. You promised me that you would come to see me. When the time comes, just say my name. I also promised you that I would take you to taste all the delicacies in Jinling. You are not allowed to break your promise. None of us are allowed to break our promise. You said that you must keep your word."

Helian Jing was inexplicably nervous. He saw the retreat and alienation in her eyes, which made him very uncomfortable.

He had many friends in Jinling, but he knew that those people made friends with him and flattered him because of his status, while Dayaoyao knew nothing and just thought of him as an ordinary rich kid. Although she often scolded him, she would give him food first and think of him first when she had something good. She would give him her bed and sleep on a stool, and give him her umbrella while she would get wet in the rain. No one had ever been so good to him. They met by chance but shared hardships.

If possible, he hoped to be able to walk with her forever, to all corners of the world, to live a happy and free life, instead of staying in the palace as that boring little prince, surrounded by people wearing hypocritical masks.

When he thought of this, he was stunned. He thought he liked being with her just because she was an interesting person, strong on the outside but weak on the inside, hard on the outside but soft on the inside. It was not until they were about to break up that he realized the reason was not that simple.
