Chapter 324, Annoyed
When the sun completely disappeared over the horizon, the rice flowers completely gave up.
That guy Xiao Yeyang really broke his promise!
"It seems that these holiday gifts can't be given away!"
Daohua waved at Wang Maner, indicating her to take the gift away. She felt very upset.
Wang Maner glanced at her daughter's lost face, not daring to say anything more, and called Guyu and Lixia to go and clean up.
At this time, Pingtong came over.
When she saw Pingtong, Daohua's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister Pingtong, my brother and Xiao Yeyang are back?" There was an unconcealable joy and anticipation in her tone.
Ping Tong laughed and said, "Young lady, do you really want to watch the dragon boat race?"
Daohua: "Of course, I've heard Jingwan say before that the dragon boat race in the provincial government is very spectacular and lively. I've always regretted not being able to see it in person." As she said that, she waved to Wang Maner and the others.
"Hurry up and load the gifts onto the carriage. Big Brother and the others are such a jerk. They're back so late! By the time we get to the provincial capital, it'll be much later."
As soon as I got up, I went to the main courtyard.
Ping Tong saw that she had misunderstood and quickly said, "Miss, it's not the master and the others."
Daohua paused and the smile on her face disappeared: "Aren't big brother and the others back?" Then what are you doing here?
Seeing Daohua's visibly disappointed expression, Pingtong said hurriedly, "It's my second uncle. He came to Ningmen Mansion on business and stopped by our house."
Daohua let out a faint "Oh".
Ping Tong continued with a smile: "Miss, don't you want to go to the provincial government to watch the dragon boat race? You can go there with your second uncle."
Daohua said "Oh" again.
Pingtong was a little surprised. Why did it seem like the girl suddenly lost interest in watching the dragon boat race?
Isn’t it just that the uncle and the others haven’t come back?
But the result is the same.
Daohua stood in the yard, picked a rose, and peeled the petals casually. After a moment of silence, she suddenly snorted, threw the rose in her hand, and turned to go to the main yard.
If Xiao Yeyang doesn't come to pick her up, she will go with him!
When Daohua followed Li Xingnian to the Li family, it was already 11:30 p.m.
At this time, most of the Li family members had gone to bed. Daohua didn't want to disturb Li Zixuan and Li Zixin, so she went to the guest room to rest.
Maybe it was because she was too excited at first and then was so disappointed, but Daohua didn't want to watch the dragon boat race that much anymore. After lying down on the bed, she asked Wang Maner not to wake her up too early tomorrow.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Zixuan and Li Zixin learned that Daohua had arrived, so they came together to look for Daohua early in the morning. However, when they arrived at the guest house, they were stopped by Wang Maner.
"The girl went to bed late last night and hasn't gotten up yet!"
Li Zixuan nodded and said with a smile, "I heard from my father that you didn't arrive until midnight last night, so let her sleep a little longer. But don't get up too late, or she'll miss the dragon boat race."
Wang Maner nodded, smiled and sent the two away, then stretched her head to look at the girl who was still sleeping soundly, and felt a little resentful towards Xiao Yeyang.
The young prince is really something. The girl trusted him so much, but he broke the promise.
Now, the girl is angry.
Main courtyard.
Everyone in the Li family came to the dining room and was a little surprised to see that the rice flowers had not yet sprouted.
Mrs. Fan laughed and said, "That girl is not lazy, why did she get up so late today?"
Li Xingnian: "I took a two or three hour boat ride last night. I guess I'm tired."
Jiang looked at the sky and said, "Should we send someone to wake him up? If he doesn't wake up now, he'll miss the dragon boat race."
As he was speaking, a servant came to report that the girl from the Dong family was coming.
Mrs. Fan looked puzzled: "Why is this Miss Dong here? Did she know that Daohua came to our house?"
Li Chenyi said, "Cousin Wenxiu and his family are also in the city. I sent someone over early this morning to tell them that my cousin is here."
Mrs. Fan nodded and said, "It's time to tell them. We'll go watch the dragon boat race later. It'll be more fun when we're all together."
Dong Yuanyao was brought in. When he learned that Daohua hadn't gotten up yet, he was speechless. He smiled and said to Fan and the others, "Uncle and aunt, wait a minute. I'll go and wake that lazy girl up right away."
"Yan Yiyi, get up!"
Daohua was sleeping soundly when she felt someone pulling her quilt, so she kicked it away.
"oops!"
Hearing the cry of pain, Daohua woke up in shock and sat up immediately. Then she saw Dong Yuanyao sitting on the ground, looking at her with an accusing look on his face, and was surprised.
"Yuan Yao, why are you here?"
Dong Yuanyao was helped up by Wang Man'er. While rubbing her butt, she glared at Daohua: "Yan Yiyi, you are really strong. You kicked me away directly with that kick."
Daohua quickly got out of bed, walked over to Dong Yuanyao, and glanced behind her: "Did you fall?"
Dong Yuanyao snorted, "Luckily I dodged quickly, so your kick didn't completely hit me."
Daohua breathed a sigh of relief and said awkwardly, "Why are you pulling my quilt?"
Dong Yuanyao pointed out the window and said, "Look at the time now. Do you still want to watch the dragon boat race? You've come all this way, wouldn't it be a shame to miss it?"
Daohua curled her lips and said, "If you missed it, you missed it. What's the big deal?"
Dong Yuanyao glanced at Daohua and saw that she looked uninterested. He reached out and tugged at her sleeve, probing, "Are you angry with the young prince?"
"Um?"
Daohua turned around and looked at Dong Yuanyao in confusion: "You know?"
Dong Yuanyao said unhappily, "Why do you think I showed up at the Li family?"
Rice Flower: “Why?”
Dong Yuanyao curled her lips and said, "It wasn't early this morning. My brother sent someone back to the mansion to ask me to come and take you to watch the dragon boat race. He also asked me to explain to you that the young prince has been a little busy recently, so he forgot to pick you up."
After hearing this, Daohua's chest tightness finally dissipated a little, and her brows relaxed. She said casually, "What is he busy with?"
Seeing that only Wang Man'er and her two maids were in the room, Dong Yuanyao no longer hesitated and snorted, "He's busy accompanying the Jiang family."
Daohua was stunned: "The Jiang family? Is that the empress dowager's family?"
Dong Yuanyao nodded and said, "The new councilor Jiang is the young prince's cousin. If he comes, the young prince will have to accompany him for two days."
"The Jiang family is used to being noble. My brother has been with the young prince for a while and has been tormented by them. Sometimes they're missing this, sometimes they're missing that. It's really annoying."
Daohua was surprised: "Xiao Yeyang has a good relationship with the Jiang family?"
Dong Yuanyao shrugged: "I don't know about that, but for the Queen Mother's sake, the young prince should also give the Jiang family some face."
Daohua shook her head: "It seems so troublesome."
Dong Yuanyao agreed. "Who says it's not? Take my father for example. He's officially Jiang Canzheng's superior, but can he really be disrespectful to Jiang Canzheng? My mother said, 'This isn't just a subordinate coming, it's a ancestor coming.'"
Daohua smiled happily, looked at Dong Yuanyao, and whispered, "Why do I feel like you don't like the Jiang family?"
Dong Yuanyao: "You'll know when you meet the Jiang family."
