Chapter 1008, A Slap
Xiao Yeyang doesn't have any special hobbies. The only thing he likes to do in his spare time is painting. When he suddenly sees a painting with good painting skills, it really attracts his attention.
Looking at the painting of plum blossoms blooming in the snow, Xiao Yeyang nodded in approval. However, he felt that the painting was not perfect as there were too many blank spaces. It might be better if one or two characters were added.
At this time, Xiao Yeyang thought of rice flowers. He seemed to have never painted a snow scene for Yi Yi. Well, he had to find a chance to paint one.
Red plum blossoms, white snow, and beautiful women must be beautiful.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor not far away.
"Miss, it's all my fault. I forgot to take the painting back."
"Okay, let's go get the painting back right away."
A gentle and melodious female voice came into Xiao Yeyang's ears, and then a beautiful girl in a red cloak and two maids came into his sight.
When the girl saw someone in the garden, she was immediately surprised, but she quickly recovered and walked quickly towards Xiao Yeyang.
"My daughter An Xin greets His Majesty."
She bowed with a graceful figure, her movements were soft and elegant.
Xiao Yeyang looked at An Xin and asked, "Do you know me?"
An Xin nodded, looking a little nervous. She half-closed her eyes and replied shyly, "An Xin has had the honor of meeting His Majesty several times." She paused and said, "Your Majesty may not know this, because every time I saw you, I only saw you from afar."
Xiao Yeyang said "hmm" and was about to leave without saying anything else.
An Xin felt a little anxious when she saw Xiao Yeyang was about to leave, but she also knew that someone like King Weiyuan was too eager and would not be in his eyes.
After Xiao Yeyang took a few steps, he ordered the maid behind him to put away the painting on the drawing board.
When Xiao Yeyang heard that the painting was painted by An Xin, he did not stop. After a while, he left the garden.
Seeing this, An Xin was a little disappointed.
The maidservant beside her comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. At least you have spoken to King Weiyuan this time."
An Xin forced a smile, but it was far from enough.
King Weiyuan was not as interested in her as she had expected, and he had just said a few polite words to her.
She knew that King Weiyuan would not often visit the An family, and she would not have many opportunities to see him, so she had to seize every opportunity.
"Let's go to Grandmother. Uncle San just said that the prince will bring the Fourth Prince and the little prince to pay a visit to Grandmother later."
Xiao Yeyang found Daozi, Xiao Moleng, Xiao Moqing and others in the stable.
Sure enough, the rice was already riding on the foal's back.
Fortunately, the servants of the An Mansion knew the seriousness of the situation and just walked slowly on the horse farm, leading the colts and carrying the rice.
"father!"
When Daozi on the horse saw Xiao Yeyang, he immediately waved his hands happily, and then asked the coachman to carry him off the horse.
"Dad, are you here to pick me up?"
Daozi ran to Xiao Yeyang and hugged his thighs.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at his son and said, "You're really full of energy. After a day of classes, you still have the energy to ride a horse!"
Daozi pulled Xiao Yeyang's hand and shook it: "I just came to see the foal. I didn't ride the horse. I just sat on the horse's back and walked around."
Xiao Yeyang: "You are still young now. In two years, Dad will teach you to ride a horse himself. When you learn it, your family will no longer restrict you from riding a horse. But now you are not allowed to ride randomly, understand?"
Daozi nodded: "I know, I won't let you worry."
Xiao Yeyang snorted, took the little guy's hand, and took Xiao Moleng and Xiao Moqing to Madam An's yard.
"After meeting Madam An, we will return home."
As soon as he entered Madam An's room, Xiao Yeyang saw An Xin standing beside Madam An with a smile on her face, holding a painting and whispering something.
The painting was exactly the one he had just seen in the garden.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang coming over, Madam An quickly stood up and said, "I pay my respects to the prince."
Xiao Yeyang supported him and said, "No need to be polite, old lady. Is your foot okay?"
Madam An smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I just sprained my ankle. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Xiao Yeyang nodded and was about to say he was leaving when Lord An beside him said with a smile, "Your Highness, my niece just showed off to us, saying that you were admiring her paintings in the garden."
Hearing this, An Xin immediately lowered her head in embarrassment: "Third Uncle, I don't have any."
Lord An laughed heartily and looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "Your Highness, my niece's painting skills are among the best among the ladies in the capital. I heard that Your Highness is also a master painter. Since we have met, why don't you comment on my niece's paintings?"
As he said that, he asked An Xin to hold the painting and walk in front of Xiao Yeyang.
If Xiao Yeyang had just met An Xin by chance in the garden, he wouldn't have thought much about it. But now seeing the An family's enthusiastic promotion and An Xin's shy attitude, what else did he not understand?
In an instant, Xiao Yeyang was filled with anger.
If the An family was just plotting against him, he wouldn't be too angry, but the An family shouldn't have taken advantage of Daozi!
Another person who could see through the An family's thoughts was Xiao Morong. The Fourth Prince also had several concubines, and he had grown up watching the concubines compete for favor.
The way Miss An looked at Uncle Wang was exactly the same as the way the concubines in the mansion looked at her father, hesitant and pretentious.
Looking at Daozi, who was clueless and happily eating snacks with his seventh brother, Xiao Morong sighed.
My little cousin is still too naive. He didn’t even know that he was sold out by others!
It seems he will have to take better care of it in the future.
Xiao Yeyang didn't even glance at the painting, and waved An Xin away. "I've been painting these years to include my wife and children in the paintings, but I don't have the energy to think about painting skills. Forget about the comments."
Having said that, he paused.
"Furthermore, Miss An is a daughter of a wealthy family. How can she let a stranger comment on her paintings? She is not a prostitute. This is not good for her or the An family's reputation."
As soon as these words came out, An Xin's face turned pale instantly.
Is Prince Weiyuan saying that she has no self-respect?
Old Madam An and Lord An were also stunned.
Mrs. An San felt ashamed as if she had been slapped in the face, and sighed in her heart, it is true that people of the same family are alike. Princess Xiao did not give face to her mother-in-law, but Prince Weiyuan dared to say such things.
Not only did he point out that his niece had no self-respect, he also bluntly said that the An family would not educate their daughter.
Xiao Yeyang stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll take the children back home now. Goodbye." After saying that, he took Daozi and Xiao Morong and left.
Old Madam An and Lord An didn't expect that Xiao Yeyang would leave as soon as he said so, without even having the chance to ask to stay.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang walking out of the house with Daozi and Xiao Morong, Madam An San pulled Lord An's sleeve, and Lord An hurriedly followed to see them off.
Seeing that Old Madam An had a gloomy face and An Xin bit her lips tightly, looking deeply shocked, Madam An San didn't want to say anything anymore and took Xiao Moqing out of the house.
She really didn't know what her mother-in-law and master were thinking. They foolishly used King Weiyuan's son to get close to him!
Not to mention that King Weiyuan is not a lustful person. Even if King Weiyuan is a lustful man, he would probably be disgusted by the person who uses his son to get close to him, no matter how beautiful she is.
How stupid!
Madam An San looked back at the shaky An Xin, feeling a little sarcastic in her heart. She was another person with lofty ambitions but a fragile life. Why did she think that King Weiyuan would look at her differently?
