Chapter 376, Point Out
In the corner pavilion in front of the lotus pond, Defu and a few servants had already set out the tea and snacks. This time they also prepared a barbecue grill. When they saw Daohua and others coming, they ran up happily.
"Miss Yan, I have prepared some things for the barbecue. Could you please take a look and see if there is anything missing?"
Daohua was still feeling uncomfortable about being hugged by Xiao Yeyang in public. When she saw Defu coming, she immediately followed him to the barbecue grill.
Here, Wang Man'er brought Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu's maids and took the mooncakes, osmanthus wine and other food prepared by the three girls out of the carriage and placed them on the stone table in the corner pavilion.
Looking at the piles of food, Yan Wenkai swallowed his saliva, rubbed his hands eagerly and said, "We have oral food today." As he spoke, he handed a bottle of osmanthus wine to Xiao Yeyang, Dong Yuanxuan and others.
"Try it quickly, this wine tastes good."
Seeing Su Shiyu standing aside, he put down the wine jar, picked up a plate, selected a few mooncakes, and then handed them to her: "Sister Su, these mooncakes are my favorites, you can try them too."
Su Shiyu was silent for a moment, looked at the mooncake, then looked at Yan Wenkai who was looking at her with bright eyes, hesitated for a moment, and slowly stretched out her hand.
Yan Wenkai was dissatisfied with her slowness again, so he pulled Su Shiyu's hand and placed the plate in her hand. He smiled with his white teeth and said, "Finish eating. Look at you, you are too thin."
After saying that, without waiting for Su Shiyu's reaction, he picked up the bottle of wine and went to find Su Hongxin and Yan Wentao to drink.
Su Shiyu stood there holding the mooncake, her eyes following Yan Wenkai. Watching him talking loudly and laughing heartily, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
In the corner pavilion, Yan Wenkai and Su Hongxin had the loudest voices.
Dong Yuanxuan and Yan Wentao sat next to each other, drinking and talking in low voices.
Xiao Yeyang leaned against the pavilion pillar, drinking and looking at the rice flowers in front of the barbecue grill with a smile, turning around from time to time to chat with Yan Wenkai and others.
For a moment, the pavilion was extremely harmonious and lively.
"Why are you here? Where's Sister Su?"
Daohua was grilling meat skewers in front of the barbecue grill. When she saw Dong Yuanyao coming over, she was a little surprised.
Dong Yuanyao nodded her chin towards the pavilion. "She's in the pavilion. I called her just now, but she ignored me. I looked closely and realized she was distracted. I wanted to eat a piece of the mooncake on her plate, but she refused."
Hearing this, Daohua laughed out loud: "Sister Su doesn't seem like the type to guard her food?"
Dong Yuanyao curled her lips and said, "Who knows what's wrong with her today? She looks weird." As she said that, she looked at Daohua.
Daohua felt uncomfortable being stared at by her: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Dong Yuanyao sent the maid away, then glanced at Xiao Yeyang in the pavilion and whispered, "What's going on between you and the young prince?"
Daohua said vaguely: "Nothing happened, it was just an emergency."
"An emergency?" Dong Yuanyao said in disbelief. "I just saw it clearly. The young prince was extremely nervous about you. On the one hand, he blamed you for not being careful enough, but on the other hand, he was afraid that saying something harsh would hurt your reputation. He treated you with such care, and you still say it's nothing?"
Daohua subconsciously argued, "He and I have always had a good relationship. If you fell off the horse, he would do the same."
Dong Yuanyao curled her lips and said, "You're just talking nonsense. It's not the first day I've known the Little Prince. The last time I was sparring with your fourth brother, he didn't stop and just pushed me away. The Little Prince was standing next to him at the time. Guess what he did?"
"Instead of stepping forward to catch me, he even stepped back, as if he was afraid I would knock him down. You have no idea how mad I was at that time."
Hearing this, Daohua didn't know what to say, and only said dryly: "This Xiao Yeyang is so ungraceful."
However, he felt a little secretly happy in his heart, but when he realized this emotion, he quickly suppressed it.
Dong Yuanyao was silent for a moment. "The young prince is actually a good person, but his identity is too unusual and involves many things. If you have any intentions towards him in that way, you must be prepared to deal with all parties involved."
Hearing this, Daohua became anxious: "I really didn't"
Dong Yuanyao interrupted her: "Whether it is true or not, you should think it through yourself. I don't understand matters of the heart myself, so I have no right to tell you what to do."
"However, we are sisters, and I still hope that you can find a good home. Although some of these words may not be pleasant to hear, I still feel that I should tell you."
"Do you think the young prince can make his own decision on his marriage?"
"You've already met the Jiang family. They dared to spread rumors in Zhongzhou that Jiang Wanying and the young prince were childhood sweethearts. They must have the support of the Queen Mother in the palace."
"Besides the Queen Mother, the young prince also has the Emperor and Prince Ping behind him. What are their intentions? You know, royal marriages always prioritize profit."
"Oh, right, there's also the young prince's mother and the Dingguo Mansion's Guo family. They're bound to have their own ideas about the young prince's marriage."
"Do you think you can handle these complicated relationships?"
Daohua listened silently and unconsciously flipped the skewers in her hand, not even noticing that they were burnt.
Dong Yuanyao continued, "Let's not talk about the past two years. Let's just talk about the recent times. The young prince has been diligently installing glazed tiles and glazed windows for you, and he also painted for you personally. Two days ago, he even gave you ten sets of valuable glazed tiles."
"After all these things, you still don't think that he just treats you as a friend, right?"
Daohua put down the skewers in her hand in annoyance, walked to the side, picked up the osmanthus wine and took a big sip.
Didn’t she realize what Xiao Yeyang felt for her?
Of course she sensed it, but she ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.
From the very beginning, she knew the gap between her and Xiao Yeyang, so she never thought about it as a relationship between a man and a woman.
But as Xiao Yeyang's behavior towards her became more and more intimate, on the one hand she knew to be cautious, but on the other hand she was enjoying his various courtesies towards her and always gave him opportunities to get close to her.
Is this vanity at work?
Or does she have other thoughts about him?
A trace of confusion appeared on Daohua's face.
Now, she herself is a little confused.
Daohua turned her head to look at Xiao Yeyang in the corner pavilion, and Xiao Yeyang happened to look over there as well.
After looking at each other for a moment, Daohua frowned and looked away.
Do you like that guy?
The answer is undoubtedly yes, but she doesn't know whether this can be considered a love between a man and a woman. She only knows that he treats her well, so she should treat him well too.
So annoying!
Daohua raised her head again and took a big sip of osmanthus wine.
Seeing her like this, Dong Yuanyao thought for a moment and said, "If you don't have feelings for the young prince, it's best to stay away from him. You have to know that imperial power is supreme. If the young prince really falls deeply in love with you, you won't be able to escape."
"But your identity. Do you understand what I mean?"
Daohua frowned, was silent for a while, and then nodded.
She understood that with her family background, she could only marry Xiao Yeyang as a concubine.
In the pavilion, Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua drinking one sip after another. His brows immediately frowned, he put down the bottle and walked over.
"What are you doing? How can you drink like this? Be careful not to get drunk." After saying that, he reached out and snatched the bottle of wine from Daohua's hand.
When Daohua saw that it was Xiao Yeyang, she glared at him and said, "What's it to you?" Then she moved away.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Dong Yuanyao: "What did you say to her?"
Dong Yuanyao: "What can I say?" After saying that, he ran away.
