Chapter 385, Insomnia
Because of Sun's inappropriate words, both Old Lady Yan and Madam Li lost interest. They talked briefly for a while and then dispersed.
Daohua took Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu back to her yard.
"Hey, be careful. Why are you so unsteady when you walk?"
When passing through the courtyard gate, Dong Yuanyao tripped, and Daohua and Su Shiyu hurriedly supported him.
Dong Yuanyao smiled and said, "It's because your wine is so delicious and looks so good in the glass. I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. Who knew it would be so strong?"
Su Shiyu: "Okay, stop talking, let's help you get some rest."
The two of them quickly helped Dong Yuanyao back to the room.
"I feel dizzy. I'm going to sleep now. Please do as you please."
Dong Yuanyao staggered towards the bed, not even bothering to wash up.
Seeing her like this, Daohua shook her head with amusement: "This guy is also a drunkard." After saying that, she glanced at Su Shiyu's cheeks, which were also flushed, and there was a hint of drunkenness between her brows.
Su Shiyu touched her hot cheeks and smiled, "Your wine is really delicious. I couldn't help but drink two more glasses."
Daohua smiled and said, "Then I'll bring you a few jars when you leave."
Su Shiyu didn't hesitate and nodded with a smile.
Daohua said again: "You should go and have a rest too."
After coming out of the wing room, Daohua stood in the yard and thought for a while, then took Wang Maner out of the yard and walked towards the kitchen.
"Girl, what are we doing in the kitchen?"
"Go see if there's any hangover soup. Yuan Yao and Sister Su are both drunk, not to mention the people in the front yard. We have to send them some hangover soup to avoid headaches tomorrow morning."
Soon, the two came to the kitchen.
The kitchen had some hangover soup, but the quantity was not much, so Daohua had to ask someone to make some more.
"Man'er, you watch here. When it's ready, send it to the front yard. I'll take these two bowls back first, so that Yuan Yao and Sister Su won't go to bed."
"Don't worry, girl. I'll take good care of it."
Daohua walked out of the kitchen carrying a lantern and two bowls of sobering soup. When she passed the hanging flower gate, a small stone suddenly fell in front of her, scaring her.
"who?"
"Bang!"
The stone fell again. Daohua looked in the direction from which it was thrown and saw Xiao Yeyang standing outside the hanging flower gate. Defu was standing not far away holding a lantern.
"Why are you throwing stones when everything is fine? You almost scared me to death."
Xiao Yeyang laughed and said, "When did Miss Yan become so timid?"
Daohua heard that his tone was drunken, thought for a moment, and walked towards the Chuihua Gate.
Xiao Yeyang leaned against the Lingbi stone beside the hanging flower gate, staring at the approaching rice flowers with a very happy expression.
After three rounds of drinks, looking at the bright full moon, he felt that such a beautiful view should be appreciated together with the rice flowers, so he took the opportunity to sober up and brought Defu here.
He was lucky. After waiting here for a while, he actually saw someone.
"Why did you drink so much?"
As soon as she walked in, Daohua smelled the scent of alcohol coming from Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang looked a little lazy and said with a smile: "It's all because of your father. Your father is in a very good mood tonight, so I have to accompany him for a few drinks."
Daohua smiled: "When did the young prince become so amiable? He even knows how to drink with us." She knew that this guy couldn't stand the formalities of toasting.
Under the dim, flickering light, Daohua's sweet laughter made Xiao Yeyang lose his mind for a moment. After a moment of silence, he chuckled and said, "Others naturally don't get this treatment, but isn't that your father?"
The meaning of these words was so obvious that Daohua was a little stunned.
Just as she was stunned, Xiao Yeyang suddenly leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong with your face?" As he said that, he took the lantern from Daohua's hand and shone it carefully.
"Why is there a red mark?" He reached out and touched it gently. "Does it hurt?"
Daohua turned her head to avoid Xiao Yeyang's hand and stepped back a little: "It should be accidentally left when I was playing with Yuan Yao and Sister Su just now. It's nothing serious."
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "You guys should know when to play around. Such obvious red marks show that you used too much force. Miss Dong is quite strong. You should be careful in the future to avoid being hurt."
Daohua explained, "Yuanyao and the others didn't use too much force. It's just that my skin is a little sensitive."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang rubbing his forehead, Daohua put down the food box in her hand and brought out a bowl of hangover soup: "Hurry up and drink this bowl of hangover soup. This was originally prepared for Yuan Yao and the others. Drink it, and I'll get more later."
Xiao Yeyang took the bowl, raised his head and drank it in one breath.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."
Daohua picked up the food box, took the lantern from Xiao Yeyang's hand, glanced at him, and turned around to leave.
Xiao Yeyang wanted Daohua to stay a little longer, but when he thought of Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu who lived in her yard, he swallowed his words.
The last time we watched the moon on the roof, Daohua lived alone and no one would notice if she went back late. But if she went back late tonight, it would be bad.
Daohua entered the hanging flower gate and turned around to see Xiao Yeyang still standing there. She immediately asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "You go first. I'll leave after you leave."
Daohua was silent for a moment, then turned around and left quickly without looking back. Only when she reached the corner did she look back at the Chuihua Gate and found that Xiao Yeyang was still standing there.
Daohua was silent for a moment, then slowly walked towards her yard with the lantern in hand.
After returning to the yard, he saw the light on in the wing room and immediately called Bishi: "Go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of sobering soup." Then he handed the food box in his hand to Guyu.
"Send it to Miss Dong, and let her drink it before going to sleep."
After giving these instructions, Daohua returned to her room. After washing up, she lay down on the bed, looking at the bright moon outside the window, and asked Lixia to turn off the lights.
Tonight, Daohua couldn't sleep.
The things that happened during the day and the scene where Xiao Yeyang stopped and looked into the distance just now flashed through his mind from time to time.
Under the bright moonlight, Daohua rested her head on her arms and stared blankly at the lotus flowers placed in front of the window.
With the affection that Xiao Yeyang showed from time to time, she could no longer ignore it or deceive herself. Xiao Yeyang's kindness to her was just friendship between friends.
She thought that at this moment, Xiao Yeyang should like her.
It's just that this feeling is too heavy and full of too many uncertainties.
Putting aside various external factors, she could not be sure of Xiao Yeyang's emotional stability and loyalty.
She didn't know that Xiao Yeyang's kindness to her at this time was due to the youthful impulses of his teenage years, or perhaps because there were too few girls of the opposite sex around him and she was just his emotional sustenance during this period.
Of course, it is also possible that his feelings for her are sincere, but how long can this feeling last?
You know, teenagers aged sixteen or seventeen are at a time of uncertainty.
Also, this is an era where having three wives and four concubines is legal, and Xiao Yeyang is of that status. There are too many temptations around him. Can he ignore other women for her?
Most people's love is beautiful at first, but short-lived.
How long can she and Xiao Yeyang last?
Daohua tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Finally, she got up and drank a pot of wine before she fell into a drowsy sleep.
