Chapter 755: Setting a Trap
Looking at Xiao Yeyang walking quickly with an anxious look on his face, Daohua felt warm in her heart. However, when she saw the expressions of the people in the pavilion, she quickly poured a cup of cold tea and greeted Xiao Yeyang when he stepped into the pavilion.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Look, you're sweating all over!" As she said that, Daohua handed over the cold tea in her hand.
As soon as Prince Ping saw Xiao Yeyang coming, his face became tense, which shows that the father and son would always be on edge when they met.
Xiao Yechen and his son, Prince Jiang, both had calculating looks in their eyes.
She was suddenly called over by Prince Ping, and who knows how others would react. If Xiao Yeyang heard these words, he would probably clash with Prince Ping right away, and then Xiao Yechen and Prince Jiang, father and son, would add fuel to the fire, and today's coming-of-age ceremony would not be held.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua's face carefully, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, his heart finally settled down. He glanced at the other people in the pavilion, reached out to take the tea and drank it all, then greeted Prince Ping and Prince Jiang.
"Father!"
"My Lord!"
Prince Ping glanced at Xiao Yeyang and said "hmm" lightly.
Prince Jiang smiled friendly.
After meeting his elders, Xiao Yeyang nodded to Jiang Jinghui again. As for Xiao Yechen, he pretended not to see it.
Then
The pavilion fell into silence.
Daohua saw that Prince Ping and Xiao Yeyang were indifferent to each other, while the other three looked like they were enjoying the show. After a moment of hesitation, he handed the empty teacup in his hand to Huai En: "Huai En, fill it up."
Huai'en was stunned by Daohua's sudden behavior. As the prince's personal eunuch, he had a very high status in the palace. Usually, even the princess and the eldest son would not order him to do anything at will.
Little Princess, are you trying to show your closeness to your master by assigning him as a servant?
Huai En glanced at Prince Ping, and seeing that he had no objection, he immediately smiled and walked over swiftly to take the empty teacup.
When Xiao Yechen saw this, the sinister look in his eyes became more and more intense.
What happened to my father?
He clearly looked down on the Yan family girl yesterday, but why did his attitude change 180 degrees today?
The father and son of Prince Jiang felt a little depressed. They did not really want to see Prince Ping and Xiao Yeyang become a loving father and a filial son.
At this moment, Prince Ping still felt quite guilty towards Xiao Yeyang because of what Daohua had just said. As long as Xiao Yeyang didn't make trouble with him, he didn't want to cause any unpleasantness.
Xiao Yeyang was also surprised that the rice flowers could move Huai En. He looked at the rice flowers and then at Prince Ping. Although he was confused, he didn't dare to ask directly because outsiders were present.
However, the King did not object to Daohua instructing Huai'en, and he probably did not scold Daohua as others said.
Daohua ignored the reactions of these people and took the tea that Huai En had poured and gave it to Xiao Yeyang: "The prince asked me to come over for tea, and I think it tastes really good. You've been sweating so much, drink another cup to cool down."
She briefly explained why she was here.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and saw that her eyes were sparkling as she looked at him. He took the tea and took a sip, then he said "hmm" in response to her words, "It's not bad."
Prince Ping heard this and coughed lightly. "Well, Yan girl, since you like this tea, why don't you take some back with you when you leave?"
Hearing this, Daohua's face lit up immediately: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Prince Ping waved his hand, looking nonchalant: "It's just some tea."
Daohua smiled and replied, "Your Highness gifted me tea. It's a sign of the elders' love and care for the younger generation, so I should express my gratitude. As the saying goes, it's impolite not to reciprocate. Your Highness gifted me tea, so I can't fail to return the favor. I happen to have brewed a few jars of rose water here. I'll bring some over for you to try tomorrow."
Prince Ping glanced at Daohua and expressed satisfaction with her cooking. "Well, it's hot today, and the iced rose water has a unique flavor. I'll try your cooking."
Daohua smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll send a can over first. If it suits your taste, I'll have Xiao Yeyang send it to you. If you have any better ideas or suggestions, you can also tell Xiao Yeyang and have him pass them on to me so I can improve it."
Seeing that Prince Ping's expression was becoming softer and softer, Xiao Yechen frowned, looked up at Daohua, and his vigilance towards him soared again.
Over the years, the reason why he and his mother were able to defeat Xiao Yeyang was because his father was too embarrassed to do so, and Xiao Yeyang was too disdainful to explain, which made the gap between father and son grow wider and wider.
If a mediator appeared between the two, then everything he and his mother had done before might be wasted.
He originally thought that Xiao Yeyang would be less of a threat to him if he married a woman from a poor family background, but after meeting this girl from the Yan family today, he didn't feel happy at all.
Father, father, seems to like this girl from the Yan family very much, unlike his wife, who has never received any praise from father even though she has been married for two or three years.
Prince Ping glanced at Xiao Yeyang, but did not reject Daohua's proposal. He said with a reluctant look on his face, "Okay, I'll give you some advice."
Xiao Yeyang looked at the rice flowers, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Just then, a breeze blew by. Rice Flower smelled the fragrance of the various flowers in the garden. She smiled and said to Prince Heping, "Your Highness, the flowers in your Hundred Flowers Garden are blooming beautifully."
Prince Ping raised his chin proudly and said, "I'm not bragging. In the whole capital, except for the Imperial Palace's Imperial Garden, no other place has flowers that can surpass mine."
As usual, whenever Prince Ping said this, he would immediately receive compliments and praise from those around him. However, this time, he noticed that his future daughter-in-law was pouting, and he immediately asked unhappily, "Why, have you ever seen flowers blooming better than the ones here?"
Rice Flower nodded quickly: "Yes, I have seen it. The flowers in my farm are more beautiful than yours."
Xiao Yechen finally found an opportunity to interrupt, looking at Daohua with a hint of sarcasm: "Shengping County Lady, the flowers that my father picked and planted in the Hundred Flowers Garden are all famous flowers. Don't compare them with wildflowers or miscellaneous flowers."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang's cold face, Daohua quickly pulled his sleeve, shook her head at him, and ignored Xiao Yechen. She smiled at Prince Ping and said, "Your Highness, you know the Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Shop, right?"
Prince Ping nodded and said, "I know. The fruits and vegetables sold in that shop are indeed good."
Daohua: "I own the shop."
Prince Ping knew about this: "So what?"
Daohua smiled confidently: "I can grow fruits and vegetables that taste better than others, so of course I can grow flowers that look better."
Seeing Prince Ping's eyes light up, Daohua smiled and set a trap: "How about it, Your Highness, are you interested in visiting Four Seasons Villa? Oh, and Xiao Yeyang's Sunflower Villa also has a lot of flowers planted in it."
Xiao Yeyang immediately looked at Daohua, pulled her, leaned forward and whispered, "What are you doing? The old man is still at Four Seasons Villa!"
Daohua whispered back, "It's because Master is here that I asked your father to go. The last time I visited Master, I noticed that he was feeling a bit down in the summer and couldn't muster the energy to do anything. This isn't going to be good. I think with your father gone, Master might get better."
After saying that, he blinked at Xiao Yeyang.
Looking at the cunning in Daohua's eyes, Xiao Yeyang immediately understood what she was planning.
This guy wants his uncle to punish his father!
It's actually a good idea, as it prevents his easily influenced father from being instigated by Ma's mother and son, or ordered by the Queen Mother, to always cause trouble for him.
I'm sure the emperor would be happy to see my uncle teaching my father.
Prince Ping was a little displeased when he saw Xiao Yeyang stopping Daohua. He hadn't wanted to go in the first place, but now he had to go: "Okay, I'll go and take a look when I'm free."
Daohua smiled immediately: "Your Majesty, you will definitely like my manor."
Looking at Daohua's bright smile, Prince Ping always felt something was strange.
Seeing that Prince Ping and Daohua were getting along better and better, Xiao Yechen couldn't help but interrupt them with a smile: "Father, the time for my second brother's coming-of-age ceremony is almost here. Shouldn't we get ready?"
