Chapter 207: Don’t Provoke
"Heh, I thought you two looked alike, didn't you? Look for yourself, even your clothing styles are similar."
In the palace, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao changed into men's clothes and came out. Zhou Jingwan immediately clapped her hands and laughed.
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looked at each other and took in each other's clothes.
Well, they do look alike.
The same moon-white robe, the same folding fan in hand, the same pretentious demeanor.
“Swish, swish!”
They both swung their fans at the same time, looking away as they fanned themselves.
Seeing this, Zhou Jingwan and the maids in the room lowered their heads and covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
Daohua quickly fanned herself a few times and said calmly, "Alright, let's go out quickly. Don't keep Big Brother and the others waiting."
At this time, the leading maid stepped forward with a smile and said, "Three girls, Eunuch Defu said that if you like the riding clothes, you can take them away."
Daohua and the other two looked at each other and turned around decisively to get their clothes.
"It feels so good to get both horses and clothes. I really hope the young prince will invite us out to play more often." Zhou Jingwan happily handed the clothes to the maid who followed her.
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looked at each other again, smiled at each other, and said nothing.
By the time the three of them arrived at the palace gate, Xiao Yeyang and others had been waiting here for some time.
"Girls are troublesome. They always drag their feet in doing things. They are not efficient at all."
As soon as Yan Wenkai said this, he immediately received three hostile gazes.
Daohua said in a bad tone, "Fourth brother, what did you just say? Your voice was too soft, I didn't hear you. Say it again."
Zhou Jingwan also pouted and looked at Yan Wenkai: "Fourth Brother Yan is the most boring. He is not as considerate as Big Brother Yan and Third Brother Yan."
Dong Yuanyao said with a half-smile, "Si Ge Yan, if you find it so troublesome, you should never marry a sister-in-law in the future."
Yan Wenkai felt scared when he saw the three girls pointing their fire at him at the same time, with a look as if they would make him suffer if he dared to say anything again.
At the same time, I felt a little innocent.
Didn't he just complain?
While they were waiting just now, he wasn't the only one who said that girls were troublesome.
Why are you only staring at him?
Yan Wenkai wanted to argue a little, but he saw that Daohua and the other two were looking at him dangerously, so he decisively gave in, turned his head to the side, and pretended to be a quail.
Seeing this, the three little girls smiled at each other.
What's even more arrogant is that Daohua raised her hand. When Dong Yuanyao and Zhou Jingwan saw it, they immediately followed suit. Then, in front of everyone, the three girls gave each other a victory high-five.
"It's incredible, it's incredible, these little girls nowadays are hard to mess with!"
Su Hongxin turned his back and looked at Xiao Yeyang and the others and spoke, keeping his voice very low in order to avoid the same treatment as Yan Wenkai.
Upon hearing this, the others showed expressions of approval.
Dong Yuanxuan smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go."
Daohua and the other two returned to the port to reunite with their elders, while Xiao Yeyang and the others were going back to the academy, so it just happened to be on their way.
Huayang Prefecture Port.
Yan Zhigao and others were already waiting here, sitting in the Dong family's cruise ship and chatting. Compared to when they came, there were a lot more people around them now, all of whom came out to climb up and enjoy the scenery on the Double Ninth Festival.
"Zhigao, the imperial court has issued an order. The grain you reported will be requisitioned for use in the prefectures still recovering from the drought of recent years. I suspect that within a few days, people will arrive in Xingzhou to collect the grain. You must be prepared for this."
Governor Dong Jiancheng also made an appointment with his friends to climb Mount Wuhua today. On the way, he met Yan Zhigao and his group, and the two of them decided to travel together.
Yan Zhigao nodded and said, "The grain has been carefully stored in the state government warehouse. I will count it again after returning today to ensure there are no mistakes."
Dong Jiancheng glanced at Yan Zhigao, who was respectful yet neither humble nor arrogant, and said with satisfaction: "I am confident in your ability to handle affairs. The emperor has personally inquired about the grain planting issue. Keep up the good work. I have high hopes for you."
Yan Zhigao leaned forward slightly and said, "Thank you, sir, for your support." Hearing that the emperor was personally concerned about the grain, he was excited, but he didn't show it on his face. "Sir, I just don't know who will receive the grain?"
Dong Jiancheng: "Governor Guo is in charge of military affairs in several northern provinces. It is likely that he will be responsible for the escort."
Yan Zhigao took note and prepared to prepare the grain seeds after returning.
Not far away, Master Zhou was chatting and laughing with others, and from time to time he glanced at Dong Jiancheng and Yan Zhigao who were standing on the deck and talking in low voices.
I sighed in my heart that Yan Zhigao’s career was really good.
Just over a year after being promoted to the position of prefect, he developed a high-yield grain variety, which was recommended by the emperor. Also, because of the relationship with the young prince, the three children in his family became classmates with Master Dong.
Because they are close to each other, even the governor now favors him.
"Master, the masters are coming."
In the distance, a group of young men in their prime walked over. Among them, the three shortest ones were each leading a fine young horse. Master Zhou recognized one of them as his daughter at a glance.
As they were about to reach the port, Xiao Yeyang slowed down his pace. When Daohua came up with the horse, he whispered, "Don't worry too much about the three people we met today. They can't threaten me."
After saying this, without waiting for Daohua's response, he walked forward quickly, as if he didn't want to say more.
Seeing him like this, Daohua frowned and fell into deep thought.
Does Xiao Yeyang know those three people?
"I won't go to the dock." Xiao Yeyang said to Dong Yuanxuan and the others, then glanced at Daohua who was leading the horse: "The horse will definitely feel uncomfortable riding in a boat, so don't lead it yourself, otherwise it will be kicked into the river."
Daohua nodded and said, "Don't worry. As long as I'm not on horseback, I won't be bullied by a horse." Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't forget my past achievements."
Zhou Jingwan spoke up: "What are your achievements? I remember that this is also your first time riding a horse, right?"
Daohua smiled and said without further explanation: "Anyway, I'm very good."
Seeing her smug look, Xiao Yeyang shook his head with a smile. He knew that Daohua was talking about the time when they climbed over the wall during the Lantern Festival and she drugged two hunting dogs.
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang again and said seriously: "As for you, you have to be careful. You must carry the things I give you with you." After saying that, she gave him a look that said 'you know what I mean'.
Xiao Yeyang quickly looked away. It was embarrassing to say that he had given Daohua's sleeping pills and itching pills to the imperial physician for research and development. He had figured out the formulas, but the pills and powders he made were not as effective as those given by Daohua.
For safety reasons, he actually wears Daohua's purse with him every day.
Yan Wenkai glanced at his sister, then at Xiao Yeyang, and walked a few steps to Daohua: "Big sister, I don't care. If you have good things, you don't have to give them to others, but you can't leave me out."
Daohua felt that sleeping pills and itching pills were not things a lady like her should have, so she shook her head decisively: "I don't have any good things."
Xiao Yeyang also quickly changed the subject: "Go quickly, your parents are waiting for you. I will go back to the academy first." After that, he took Defu away.
Seeing that her fourth brother was about to say something, Daohua immediately looked at Su Hongxin, who was standing still, and asked in confusion, "Brother Su, my eldest brother and the others wanted to see us off and pay their respects to the elders, but why didn't you go with Xiao Yeyang?"
Su Hongxin said speechlessly: "I also want to go and pay my respects to my elders."
Daohua was curious: "Is there anyone coming to your house too?"
Dong Yuanyao looked towards the dock and said in surprise, "I saw the Su family's cruise ship. Aunt Su and the others seemed to be there too. Did Shiyu come to Wuhua Mountain today as well?"
Su Hongxin nodded: "My mother and sister were invited by my aunt."
Dong Yuanyao wondered, "Since Shiyu is here, why don't we let her come to the stables and play with us?"
Su Hongxin rolled his eyes: "With my sister's personality, do you think she can ride a horse and play like you guys?"
Dong Yuanyao nodded: "That's right, Shiyu, but she is a little too quiet and dignified."
Su Hongxin curled his lips.
It's you three who are being too noisy, okay?
He thinks his sister is fine the way she is.
Dong Yuanxuan: "Let's go quickly. We shouldn't keep the elders waiting."
