After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 184 The Sponge Cake Was Successfully Made

Qi Jingyue's lips had already softened, and he nodded slightly to them with a cool and reserved demeanor.

When Ye Yuwu heard the address "Your Highness the Crown Prince," she was already filled with remorse, and her anger from before vanished completely. She no longer dared to be angry with him.

The officials who had finished greeting the Crown Prince were visibly taken aback when they saw the woman standing next to him, but seeing that she was wearing official robes, they obviously knew her identity.

They dared not disturb His Highness, so they quickly left.

As soon as they left, Qi Jingyue turned around and saw that Ye Yuwu was already standing far away from him. He felt inexplicably uncomfortable, so he walked over and closed the distance with her, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Ye Yuwu also understood their respective identities, and her respectful attitude towards Qi Jingyue made Qi Jingyue's expression even worse.

However, he had important instructions to give at the moment, so he calmed himself down.

"Listen to me first. Things are not peaceful in Bianjing these days. You should be careful."

Ye Yuwu nodded knowingly, clearly aware of the worried looks in the officials' eyes when the morning court session ended earlier that day.

"Also, I won't be going to the bookstore these days, you;" He wanted to say something more, but he couldn't get the words out in front of her.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will find a good reason, and I will not let anything slip if anyone asks."

“You know that’s not what I meant…” He sighed, clearly realizing she hadn’t taken his earlier words to heart.

At this moment, the young eunuch standing guard not far away looked anxious. He whispered in their direction, "Your Highness..."

Qi Jingyue knew that time was running out, so before leaving he told her to remember what he had told her. Seeing Ye Yuwu nod, he left with some lingering worry.

As soon as His Highness the Crown Prince left, Ye Yuwu let out a breath, but before she could even catch her breath, she heard a voice behind her.

"I never expected that Manager Ye—no, I should now call him Lord Ye—would have such a good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ye Yuwu turned her head and saw a cynical face. The person was smiling, but she inexplicably felt a sense of danger.

Using her memory, she finally remembered who this person was.

"Your Highness!" She bowed to Qiao Songqing.

Qiao Songqing's brows furrowed with coldness as he walked towards her.

"Lord Ye is truly irresistibly charming."

Ye Yuwu sensed the sarcasm in Qiao Songqing's words and raised her delicate eyebrows in discomfort.

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words."

"What? Is Lord Ye afraid of being overheard by others? If you ask me, you used to relentlessly pursue Bai Zunyue, but when that didn't work, you turned around and hooked up with His Highness the Crown Prince. Why don't you write a book and teach others how to do it?"

Despite the man's vicious slander, Ye Yuwu's brows relaxed. She looked ahead and then turned back to Qiao Songqing.

"Your Highness, please come closer. I don't need to write a book; I can just tell you directly!"

Seeing the mockery in Qiao Songqing's eyes, Ye Yuwu boldly beckoned to him with her finger.

Qiao Songqing approached her with an air of nonchalance, but his eyes held a hint of mockery and disgust.

However, before he could maintain his composure, his face began to crack.

His brows furrowed deeply as he looked at Ye Yuwu. A surge of pain welled up inside him, and he gritted his teeth, forcing out a single, harsh "You!"

But by the time he looked up, Ye Yuwu had already vanished in a flash.

Qiao Songqing could only cover his groin and exhale a breath of stale air. Fortunately, no one saw it and the girl didn't try to kill him, otherwise he would really be childless. But even so, it would be a great humiliation for him!

"Ye Yuwu, you just wait!"

Ye Yuwu didn't care about his impotent rage! She would settle her scores on the spot, and besides, this person had started spreading rumors, so she could still tolerate it. Anyway, she had already done it, so she wasn't afraid of being retaliated against.

If she could lose her minor official position, that would be good too. She couldn't accept having to get up early every five days to attend court. She already slept late, and if she had a little free time at night, she would have to write stories and get up early again. Wouldn't that kill her?

Ye Yuwu originally intended to go back to her residence, change into her official robes, and take a nap.

But just as she finished changing her clothes, Huaping came looking for her.

It turns out that after successfully making cornstarch a few days ago, Huaping took on the "task" of making sponge cake.

Ye Yuwu knew that beating eggs to create foam took a long time and wasted time.

So she decided to use a search system to draw a whisk for mixing.

What might normally take two or three hours to whip with chopsticks only takes half an hour with this egg beater.

This whisk can greatly reduce the time required.

Huaping enjoys cooking, especially researching and creating new things, which is why she took on this task.

She worked on it all day and finally succeeded in making the sponge cake.

After finishing, he immediately carried the freshly baked sponge cake to Ye Yuwu's room and knocked on the door.

Ye Yuwu opened the door and saw the chicken cake she was holding.

The two entered the house, and Huaping urged her to quickly taste the flavor.

To be honest, it had been a long time since she had eaten such a soft and fluffy little cake. She took a slice of the sponge cake and put it in her mouth.

"How is it?" Hua Ping looked at Ye Yuwu nervously.

"Delicious!" Ye Yuwu gave her a thumbs up.

Although Hua Ping didn't know what her gesture meant, she knew that Ye Yuwu was praising her, so she was very happy.

"Huaping, your skills are good enough to open a pastry shop!"

"Girl, you're teasing me again!"

"I'm serious! Huaping, you've been with me for so long, do you have any other plans in mind?"

"I... I can only stay by the girl's side forever, and I'll do whatever she does!"

“Hua Ping, you’ve been with me for so long, and in the book repair department for so long. I can tell you don’t really enjoy doing this. Every time I see you busy in the kitchen, I can always see the light in your eyes.” Ye Yuwu noticed that something was off with her lately, and took this opportunity to open up to her.

Hua Ping's eyes welled up with tears. "I thought you'd been so busy lately that you hadn't paid attention to me! I don't want you to think I'm useless."

"How could you think I'm unambitious?" Ye Yuwu frowned.

“Mingming, you gave me an opportunity to engage with literature, but I only like cooking. I’ve embarrassed you.” Huaping became more and more like crying as she spoke. She didn’t know why she felt wronged, and what she was saying didn’t make any sense.

Ye Yuwu was both amused and exasperated.

"What are you talking about? Isn't it normal to have things you like? Your dad and brother are also chefs at Cha Yun, do you feel ashamed?"

He wiped away tears and shook his head.

"I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to take care of your feelings. It's my fault."
