Chapter 494, Walking in the Snow
Because it was cold in December, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao followed Daohua's carriage. On the way back to the Yan Mansion, Yan Wenkai asked Daohua, "Sister, you just climbed over the wall and went in. Why didn't you look for someone again?"
Daohua: "Xiao Yeyang is not here again, who are you looking for?"
It would have been fine if he had only met Councillor Jiang, but he didn't even see Governor Guo, which shows that Xiao Yeyang really avoided him.
Yan Wenkai glared: "Then why did you climb over the wall?"
Daohua gave Yan Wenkai a look that said, "Are you stupid?" "Of course I told Xiao Yeyang I was looking for him."
Yan Wenkai was a little confused and looked at Yan Wentao blankly, waiting for him to explain.
Yan Wentao was silent for a moment, then said, "The young prince must have left secret guards at the mansion. If anything urgent happens, the secret guards will definitely be able to notify the young prince." He then looked at Daohua and said, "So, the last words you said to Man'er were meant for the secret guards to hear?"
Daohua nodded, with worry between her brows.
Governor Guo and Councillor Jiang both came to see Xiao Yeyang in person. It seems that the news that Prince Ping promoted Concubine Ma to be his legal concubine is most likely true.
“Bang!”
After hearing Yan Wentao's explanation, Yan Wenkai slapped his head fiercely: "Oh, why didn't I think of this method? If I had known earlier, I would have asked the secret guards to help me notify the young prince."
Yan Wentao glanced at him dimly, feeling a little embarrassed to say that this method only worked for Daohua and him. Even if they fell to their death after climbing over the wall, the secret guards probably wouldn't even look at them.
After a while, Yan Wenkai asked again, "If you tell the young prince you're looking for him, will he come out to see you?" He rested his chin on his hand and said with a profound look, "I can see that the young prince is hiding away on purpose. But why?"
Yan Wentao also looked at the rice flowers.
Rice flowers remained silent.
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai looked at each other. They felt that Daohua must know something, but this sister has been righteous since she was a child, and there is nothing they can do if she doesn't say it.
Soon, the three of them returned to Yan's Mansion.
That night, Daohua tossed and turned in bed, thinking about Xiao Yeyang, where he was, what he was doing, and whether he was very sad.
Wang Man'er, who was on guard outside, heard the noise and came in wearing a coat and added another charcoal basin for Daohua. "Go to sleep, young lady. The young prince has Defu by his side, so he'll be fine. You still have to go to see the young prince tomorrow, so you can't be listless."
Just as Wang Man'er finished fixing the charcoal brazier and was about to leave, Daohua suddenly asked, "Do you think he will show up to see me tomorrow?"
Wang Maner smiled: "Of course he would. The young prince cares so much about the girl, how could he just watch her climb over the wall and do nothing?"
Daohua wasn't sure: "Not necessarily. He knows my skills. I can just climb over a wall, so he shouldn't be worried, right?"
Wang Man'er laughed and said, "Even if you bump into something a little bit, the young prince will be worried."
Daohua sighed, "Maybe in the past, but if Prince Ping really makes Concubine Ma his wife this time, it will be a huge blow to Xiao Yeyang. He may not want to see anyone at this time."
Wang Man'er was also a little uncertain. If she encountered such a situation, she would probably want to hide. "Girl, you should have a good sleep. We can go over and take a look tomorrow. Then we'll know everything, right?"
Daohua said nothing more and motioned Wang Maner to go to sleep, while she continued to stare at the ceiling of the tent.
The next morning, Daohua got up in a not very good mood. After having breakfast, she went out again accompanied by Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao.
The three of them first went to the gate to ask, and found out that Xiao Yeyang was still not there. Then they came to the place where they climbed over the wall yesterday.
Yan Wenkai looked at Daohua: "Still turning over?"
Rice Flower nodded.
Yan Wenkai quickly walked to the corner and squatted down: "Come, fourth brother will carry you up today."
This time, Daohua wandered around the house for a while.
Most of the rooms in the house are empty and deserted, with almost no one to be seen. They can climb over the wall and come in without having to hide.
As Daohua watched, she couldn't help but think that Xiao Yeyang must feel very lonely when he came back here.
After looking around, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai followed Daohua out again.
Seeing Daohua looking gloomy, Yan Wentao consoled her, "Perhaps the young prince is still on his way. How about we get in the carriage and wait?"
Daohua glanced at the house and nodded.
In the carriage, Daohua remained silent, and Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao didn't know what to say either. The three of them just sat there in silence.
Time slipped away little by little, and before I knew it, it was noon.
Yan Wenkai glanced at Daohua's face, but he remained silent despite his hunger. It wasn't until 3:00 PM, when he was completely starving, that he finally said, "How about we go eat something first and come back later?"
Daohua said in a muffled voice, "I'm not hungry."
Yan Wenkai wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yan Wentao: "Well, Daohua, you wait in the carriage. My fourth brother and I will go buy some food."
Daohua: "I'm really not hungry. You guys go eat yours."
Yan Wentao: "Okay, let's go out and have a quick bite, and then I'll bring you some snacks." As he said that, he pulled Yan Wenkai out of the carriage.
After the two left, Daohua also got off the carriage.
Wang Man'er: "Girl, you'd better stay in the carriage. It's very cold outside."
Daohua shook her head, looked up at the wall, and murmured, "Why do I feel that as long as I look for him, Xiao Yeyang will appear?"
It was probably because of his usual attentiveness and consideration towards her that she had this illusion.
In fact, she is not that important.
Why should he appear whenever she looks for him?
At this time, it suddenly started snowing.
"Girl, it's snowing. Let's get in the carriage."
Daohua ignored Wang Maner's words, stretched out her hand, and let the snowflakes fall into her palm. The cold snowflakes melted in her hand, and a trace of chill spread from her palm to her heart.
Suddenly, a paper umbrella appeared above my head.
Daohua's face lit up with joy and she quickly turned her head. However, when she saw that the person holding the umbrella was Wang Maner, the smile on her face disappeared instantly and her eyes were filled with deep disappointment.
Wang Man'er: "Miss, the snow is getting heavier. Let's go back quickly. If you are worried about the little prince, ask Xiaoliu to come and watch over him. As soon as the little prince comes back, he will tell you immediately."
But in just a short while, a layer of white snow covered the ground, and she was worried that the road would be impassable in a while.
"Third brother and fourth brother haven't come back yet." Daohua looked at the heavy snow falling in the sky, and the disappointment in her eyes grew stronger and stronger. In such weather, Xiao Yeyang really would not show up.
Wang Maner: "Then let's go to the street corner and wait for them."
Daohua was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I haven't taken a walk in the snow for a long time. Let me go over there." As she said that, she walked forward along the wall.
Wang Maner wanted to go forward and hold an umbrella for her, but was rejected.
Daohua walked listlessly. Seeing the snow piled up in the corner, she squatted down and grabbed a few handfuls of snow, playing with them in her hands. Then, she threw it hard towards the wall, as if venting something.
"It's so cold, but you're still playing in the snow. You're not afraid of getting cold."
When Daohua squatted down again to grab the snow, a warm and deep male voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Hearing the voice, Daohua couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
