Chapter 121, Mountain Climbing Competition
After eating the barbecue grilled with seasonings grown by Daohua in the space, everyone felt that the barbecue grilled afterwards seemed not as delicious. They ate some in a hurry and lost interest.
"Next time, we'll do this barbecue again. Remember to bring more of the seasoning we used before." Xiao Yeyang and Daohua sat side by side on the grass, communicating in low voices.
Daohua nodded. "Okay! But do you have time? I heard that the academy has a lot of courses. For someone like you, you have to study both literature and martial arts. Do you have enough time to hang out?"
Xiao Yeyang's face fell and he sighed deeply.
Although he is a member of the royal family, royal members also have troubles. Not to mention other things, their studies are much more arduous than those of ordinary people!
Fortunately, he is not a prince, but the son of a prince, otherwise, he would have to learn more.
The reason why he didn't want to return to the capital was not only because he didn't want to see some people, but there was another reason that could not be ignored, which was that once he returned, he would have to attend classes and study with the princes.
Although he felt more relaxed and comfortable at Wangyue Academy, this was only because he had less supervision. He still had to study the lessons he was supposed to study, and every once in a while, his teacher would report his learning progress to his uncle, the emperor.
If his grades drop, he will face the fate of being sent to Beijing.
Oh, I don’t want to think about it anymore. The moment I think about it, I’m filled with tears of sadness.
"You can't play on weekdays, but you can still play on holidays!"
Daohua tilted her head: "But after the Double Ninth Festival, when it comes to the Chinese New Year, it seems that there are no more holidays."
Xiao Yeyang retorted: "Why not? Isn't it the Winter Solstice and Laba Festival?"
"." Daohua was silent, "Okay!"
Xiao Yeyang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Daohua: "What's your attitude? Don't you want to play with me?"
Daohua raised her claws and swore: "I swear to God, absolutely not." Their family was so busy trying to curry favor with Xiao Yeyang, how could they possibly push him away?
flatter
Thinking of this word, Daohua turned her head to look at Xiao Yeyang. This guy didn't seem to be proud of his status in front of her.
Well, saving my life is still of some use.
Daohua shook her feet lightly. Her family now has a good relationship with Xiao Yeyang.
They were all children, and they would get together to play during holidays without involving adults, so there wouldn't be too many exchanges of interests. In this way, she wouldn't have to try to please him or curry favor with him, and could just play around freely and easily.
After sitting for a while, Xiao Yeyang felt a little bored again. He looked at the sky and thought it was still early, so he said to Daohua, "The scenery at the top of Xiangxia Mountain is unparalleled. Do you want to go up and take a look?"
Daohua glanced at the top of the mountain, estimated the distance, and hesitated: "It will take quite a while to climb up, right?"
Xiao Yeyang: "If we climb up quickly, half an hour will be enough, and it will take even less time to come down."
I know that Daohua is worried about the itinerary of Mrs. Zhou and the others. It is already 4:15 pm (2:00 pm). If they go to the top of the mountain and back, they will not be back until the end of the afternoon.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yeyang called Zhou Chengye and asked him to ask Mrs. Zhou when she was planning to leave.
Zhou Chengye quickly found out: "Young Prince, we can climb to the top of the mountain and take a look. My mother said that they rarely come out to play, and they won't leave until the evening (5 to 7 pm)."
Xiao Yeyang immediately smiled and looked at Daohua: "Let's go, you have no excuses this time. I just heard your third brother say that you have been running in the fields since you were a child. When you run, you are faster than him. Let me see if he is lying."
Daohua then stood up and said, "Okay, let's have a race to see who's faster."
Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Zhou Jingwan hurried over and pulled her sleeve.
Daohua signaled her not to be anxious. This competition was just for fun. If everyone was involved, who would take it seriously?
First, they are girls and are not as strong as boys; second, all the boys present are at least two or three years older than them. If she really takes them seriously, she would be out of her mind.
"Of course, we have to agree on this. This competition has to have a prize. Whoever wins gets the prize!"
Everyone nodded. With a prize in hand, everyone would be more motivated.
Daohua continued, "Also, Jingwan and I are girls, and we are younger than you. You have to let me climb the fifty stone steps first."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll let you climb first, but I have to remind you, we will definitely be the winners in the end!"
Daohua curled her lips and said, "That's not necessarily true. Haven't you heard of the tortoise and the hare? In the end, the tortoise won, not the hare."
"Then let's go!"
Looking at Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wenkai and others walking up the mountain stairs with great enthusiasm, Zhou Chengye smiled and patted Yan Wenxiu's shoulder behind the crowd.
"Your eldest sister is such a happy person. Look, with her around, the little prince always has a smile on his face."
Yan Wenxiu didn't dare to agree to this, but just smiled and said, "My eldest sister grew up in the countryside. She is simple and cheerful, and doesn't know many rules and etiquette. So when she is with the young prince, she is less restrained. This may make the young prince feel a little novel and relaxed."
Zhou Chengye smiled, and seeing that Yan Wenxiu had some concerns, he didn't continue.
Yes, they have only just met for a short time, so it is not appropriate to talk about too deep topics, especially when it involves the young prince.
However, he decided in his heart that when he left later, he would tell his mother to let Jingwan have more contact with the eldest daughter of the Yan family in the future.
He finally realized that the relationship between the Yan family and the young prince was mostly tied to the eldest daughter of the Yan family.
Of course, the brothers Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao now also have a certain weight in the little prince's heart. However, the little prince has never lacked study companions. Although the two have good personalities, they are not irreplaceable.
But this Yan family's eldest daughter.
He thought about it and realized that among all the young ladies he knew, there was no one like her who dared to joke and play with the young prince so confidently.
In her interactions with the young prince, he could say that she was trying to curry favor with him, but he had seen her many times, she dared to turn her back on him, and she dared to say things that they absolutely dared not say, and she seemed not afraid of offending the young prince.
The most surprising thing is that the little prince is really tolerant of her.
Of course, he also looked carefully and found that the eldest daughter of the Yan family was very sensible. This sense of propriety was different from that cultivated by the aristocratic families.
The discretion shown by the young men and women of prominent families is a decision made after weighing all the pros and cons.
But the eldest daughter of the Yan family knows her limits, and people can't feel any purpose or utilitarianism in her behavior. It seems that she does this completely from the heart. She thinks so in her heart, so she does it.
Many times, her behavior is just right.
Coupled with that beautiful smile, it is really impossible not to like her.
