Chapter 756: Blatant Favoritism
Seeing that the time was indeed approaching, Prince Ping turned his gaze to the father and son of Prince Jiang who were left aside and said, "Prince, let's go to the main hall now."
When Prince Jiang saw that Prince Ping finally remembered him, he felt very angry. But before he could say anything, he saw Prince Ping turn around and look at the rice flowers.
"The women will also have to go to the main hall to watch the ceremony, so you can come with us."
Daohua smiled and replied, "Yes."
Immediately, Prince Ping was the first to walk out of the pavilion.
Prince Jiang let out a breath and followed silently.
Jiang Jinghui and Xiao Yechen glanced at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang before following them.
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
Seeing Daohua about to leave the pavilion, Xiao Yeyang quickly stopped her and said, "Wait a moment." He pointed at the scorching sun in the sky and said, "The sun is so strong, I asked Defu to get an umbrella."
Daohua glanced at Prince Ping and the others walking ahead and said, "It's not necessary to go through so much trouble, is it?"
Xiao Yeyang's face was full of disapproval: "The sun is the hottest at noon. Your skin is so delicate, what if you get sunburned? Baicao Garden is quite a distance from the main hall."
Daohua knew Xiao Yeyang's temperament, and seeing his determined expression, she simply asked, "Shouldn't we fall too far behind?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Prince Ping and the others nonchalantly and said, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Daohua said no more. Seeing beads of sweat as big as rice on Xiao Yeyang's forehead, she handed him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it!"
Xiao Yeyang took the handkerchief with a smile and wiped his forehead and neck.
"By the way, I have something else to tell you." Daohua called Wang Maner over, took the hair crown from her hand, and handed it to Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the hair crown, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled up: "You also made a hair crown for me? Why didn't you send it together with the crown clothes?"
Daohua: "I didn't make this hair crown."
Xiao Yeyang's hand reaching for the hair crown suddenly stopped: "It wasn't you who did it? Then forget it." As he said that, he was about to retract his hand.
Daohua placed the hair crown directly in Xiao Yeyang's hand and said, "This hair crown was made by the lady who lives in the villa in Wuhua Mountain."
Xiao Yeyang was stunned, his eyes flashing: "Have you seen her?"
Daohua snorted, "You're keeping it a secret quite well."
Xiao Yeyang quickly explained, "When we were in Zhongzhou, I had already planned to take you to meet her, but I never found a suitable opportunity."
Daohua wasn't really angry. She knew Xiao Yeyang had a problem. She looked at the hair crown and said, "My aunt gave it to me when I came to the palace. Princess Ma reported me to your father because she knew him. Fortunately, your father and I knew each other, so a big disturbance was avoided."
Xiao Yeyang sneered, "The Ma family is used to doing this kind of thing." He paused and asked, "How do you know my father?"
Daohua: "Do you still remember the Jiu Ye I told you about before?"
Xiao Yeyang opened his eyes wide: "Is that the Jiu Ye who was dressed as a woman with you?"
Daohua quickly made a gesture to keep quiet: "Keep your voice down. I finally managed to put this matter behind your father. You must not bring it up again!"
Xiao Yeyang chuckled.
At this time, Defu came over with an umbrella.
Daohua: "Okay, remember to wear the hair crown later."
Xiao Yeyang looked at the hair crown in his hand, was silent for a moment, turned around and handed it to Defu, then took the umbrella, opened it, and held it over Daohua's head: "Let's go."
"Father, my second brother is following us!"
Seeing Xiao Yeyang and Daohua following him, Xiao Yechen immediately told Prince Ping. Seeing Xiao Yeyang holding an umbrella, carefully protecting Daohua, as if worried that she would get sunburned, he immediately said playfully:
"My second brother was so considerate to Princess Shengping, even holding an umbrella for her! But the sun was so strong, and he sent someone to get an umbrella, but why didn't he get one for father?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Ping turned around and looked at Xiao Yeyang and Daohua who were some distance behind.
The son was wearing a ginger-colored python satin robe, with an upright posture and a dignified demeanor; the daughter-in-law was wearing a light yellow dress, elegant and refined, lively and extraordinary.
They are truly a pleasing pair of golden boy and jade girl!
A smile flashed across Prince Ping's eyes. Although he and Ye Yang were not close, he was his son after all. He also had the common problem of all fathers in the world, and felt that his son deserved the best girl in the world.
This Shengping County Lord
She has a good appearance and a smart personality. Judging from the fact that she rescued them before, it can be seen that she has good character. The most important thing is that she does not panic when encountering things and acts decisively.
Although her birth is of a low status, after some training, she should still be worthy of being the Crown Prince's Consort.
Well, this marriage granted by my royal brother is not bad!
Xiao Yechen noticed Prince Ping's expression. Seeing that he was not angry but looked satisfied instead, he frowned in confusion.
What happened to Father today?
He worked together with Prince Jiang to give Xiao Yeyang some cold shoulder several times, but his father did not get angry as usual and express his dislike and dissatisfaction with Xiao Yeyang.
Jiang Jinghui was also looking at Xiao Yeyang and Daohua behind him. Looking at Xiao Yeyang who was covering most of the umbrella over the head of Shengping County Master, the curiosity in his eyes became more and more intense.
Xiao Yeyang attaches so much importance to Princess Shengping, so is the recent series of troubles in the Jiang family his doing?
During the time he was dismissed from his post and stayed at home, he carefully investigated the burning of tribute and the incident of his third brother Jingyao breaking his leg at the horse farm.
Although these two things seem to be accidents on the surface, there are not so many accidents in this world.
In particular, before he escorted the tribute back to the capital, the Jiang family exposed the fact that Xiao Yeyang and Princess Shengping had secretly decided to spend their lives together; before his third brother Jingyao broke his leg, his second aunt happened to hire someone to kill Princess Shengping.
He doesn't believe that the two things are coincidences!
Xiao Yeyang noticed Jiang Jinghui's gaze and looked over at him.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and sparks flew immediately.
Jiang Jinghui was the first to look away. His grandfather was right. Xiao Yeyang had changed. He was no longer the puppy who allowed others to throw dirty water on him when he was little and could only rush around and roar to vent his grievances. Now, he was a wolf with sharp claws and teeth!
When Xiao Yeyang saw Jiang Jinghui turn his head away, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The coming-of-age ceremony was held in the hall, and the attic outside the hall was decorated for the female members of the family to watch the ceremony.
At this moment, the hall and the attic were full of people.
Not long after, everyone saw Prince Ping and his entourage coming.
No one paid much attention to Prince Ping, Prince Jiang and the other three who were walking in front. Now everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Yeyang and Daohua who were walking behind.
The man holds an umbrella, providing gentle care; the woman smiles, bright and cheerful.
It is as beautiful as a scene in a painting.
"A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but sigh.
In the attic, the ladies were even more excited. When a young girl is in love, who doesn't want to be gently cared for by the person they love? Looking at the scene of Xiao Yeyang and Daohua walking side by side, they couldn't help but feel a little longing.
Jiang Wanying held the fence tightly with both hands and stared at Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.
Brother Yang always walks with a breeze, and he is willing to accompany Yan Yiyi for a slow walk under the scorching sun.
Brother Yang doesn't like outsiders to get close to him, but he walks side by side with Yan Yi.
Seeing that most of Xiao Yeyang's body was exposed to the sun, while Daohua was well protected under the umbrella, Jiang Wanying's eyes turned red with jealousy.
Brother Yang actually favors Yan Yiyi so blatantly!
