Chapter 958 Chapter 958, Self-recommendation
The middle-aged woman and the thinly dressed girl rushed in without any notice, which caught the village chief and several village leaders by surprise.
The village chief was about to scold when he saw the girl falling towards King Weiyuan.
"Bang!"
The expected hero to save the beauty did not appear. The moment the girl pounced on him, Xiao Yeyang took a big step back, causing the girl to fall directly to the icy ground.
"Xian'er!"
When the middle-aged woman saw the girl fall to the ground, she immediately went up to help her, wailing.
Wang Xian endured the severe pain in his knees and palms, and slowly stood up with the help of his mother. After standing up, he looked at Xiao Yeyang with a hesitant look.
Because she was wearing thin clothes, Wang Xian's cheeks were a little red from the cold. In addition, she was enduring the pain, and tears were welling up in her eyes, making her look really pitiful.
When the village chief saw Wang Xian like this, he swallowed back the words he wanted to scold him.
The middle-aged woman asked anxiously, "Xian'er, did you fall anywhere? You are such a fool! Even if you wanted to come here in person to thank the prince, you don't have to be so anxious."
Wang Xian's ears turned red at his mother's words. He stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Yeyang: "Xian'er thanks His Majesty for helping to bury my father."
Xiao Yeyang was very displeased with the mother and daughter who barged in directly, but after all, thinking that they were female relatives and had just lost their support, he did not care and just said in a calm voice:
"Your husband (father) was a soldier who died defending the territory of Daxia. His burial was ordered by the emperor. You don't need to thank me."
Wang Xian keenly noticed that Xiao Yeyang didn't have much intention of blaming him. He thought that Xiao Yeyang had a good impression of him, and he was immediately delighted. He looked at his mother beside him, bit his lip, and said with a red face and courage:
"Your Highness is so kind. After my father passed away, he even allocated land to my mother and me. I am so grateful that I have no way to repay you. I am willing to serve you and beg you to grant me this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xian knelt in front of Xiao Yeyang and kowtowed, saying, "Please grant me your blessing, Your Majesty."
The middle-aged woman also quickly agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, please let Xian'er follow you. My Xian'er is very hardworking and can do anything well."
The words of the mother and daughter surprised everyone present.
Defu, who was standing behind Xiao Yeyang, was dumbfounded and looked at Wang Xian in complete speechlessness. Where did this girl get the confidence to think she could serve the master?
If the village chief and others didn't know the purpose of Wang Xian and her daughter's visit at this time, they would be really idiots. Their faces all looked ugly.
The village chief glanced at Xiao Yeyang, and seeing that Xiao Yeyang didn't say anything, he was not sure what he meant, and didn't dare to say anything at this time.
Xiao Yeyang was unmoved by what Wang Xian and her daughter said. All his attention was on his wife and son not far away.
Seeing Daohua glaring at him angrily, Xiao Yeyang curled the corners of his mouth in a good mood.
Wang Xian looked up and saw the smile on Xiao Yeyang's face. His ears turned even redder. When he was about to express his feelings, he saw Xiao Yeyang striding back.
Wang Xian's gaze followed Xiao Yeyang, and soon he saw Daohua, wearing a bright red feather fox fur cloak, coming over with an armful of delicate rice.
"Have you finished touring the village?"
A voice filled with infinite pampering and warmth came out of Xiao Yeyang's mouth, making everyone present feel how much King Weiyuan valued his princess.
Looking at the rice flowers that looked like fairy concubines, Wang Xian lowered his head with a sense of inferiority.
Others hurried forward to greet her: "Greetings, Princess!"
Daohua handed her son to Xiao Yeyang and said with a soft smile, "No need for formalities." After that, she looked at Wang Xian who was kneeling on the ground.
The white dress made her look weak and slender, and one couldn't help but feel pity for her.
What a beautiful little flower!
Daohua smiled and asked, "Why is this girl kneeling on the ground in such a cold weather? What did she do wrong?"
Seeing Daohua think her daughter had done something wrong, the middle-aged woman quickly explained, "No, no, Princess, you misunderstood. My daughter, Xian'er, is just grateful for the prince's kindness and wants to repay him."
"repay?"
Daohua looked at the middle-aged woman and Wang Xian with a half-smile: "How do you want to repay me?"
Both of them felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by Daohua, and felt ashamed as if they were being stripped naked and stared at.
Wang Xian knew this might be his only chance, so he gritted his teeth, knelt down, turned around, faced Xiao Yeyang, and kowtowed, saying, "This servant wishes to enter the palace to serve the prince, in order to thank the prince for his kindness. I beg the prince to grant this."
Daohua laughed out loud: "My lady, if you want to enter the palace, then you've asked the wrong person." She glanced at Xiao Yeyang and continued with a smile, "All matters in the palace are under the jurisdiction of this princess, and the prince only takes care of matters outside."
When Wang Xian saw that Xiao Yeyang did not refute, he was stunned.
The middle-aged woman reacted quickly and immediately knelt down in front of Daohua: "Everyone says that the princess is a very kind person. The princess will definitely fulfill my daughter's sincere wish, right?"
Daohua sneered, "What you said is really interesting. If I don't agree to your daughter entering the palace, then I am not a good person."
The middle-aged woman froze for a moment and quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, I don't mean that."
Daohua breathed a sigh of relief, praising him slightly, and said amiably, "I'm glad you don't think so. As for me, I really don't agree with your daughter entering the palace."
The middle-aged woman was stunned. She didn't expect that Princess Xiao would be so jealous in front of the prince.
Daohua glanced at the shaky Wang Xian and said with a smile, "The palace has its own rules. It's not that I look down on your daughter, it's just that your daughter is too weak."
"The maids in the palace have to do a lot of work every day. She can easily fall down just by walking like this. Is she supposed to serve others in the palace, or should others serve her?"
"As the princess, I have to be responsible for the palace, so I can't let your daughter into the palace. Do you understand?"
After saying that, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with a smile: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Xiao Yeyang was teasing his son. When he heard Daohua's question, he immediately smiled and said, "You always have the final say in the palace. Whatever you say is what goes."
Daohua smiled and looked at the village chief and others: "I just took a walk around the village. According to the current population of the village, every family should be able to get some winter clothing allocated by the palace. But why is this girl still wearing so thin? Did you withhold her family's clothes?"
The village chief and the others felt nervous and quickly denied it: "Princess, our clothes have been distributed."
Daohua smiled at the middle-aged woman and asked, "Did your family distribute clothes?"
The middle-aged woman's face was a little stiff. Seeing the anger in the eyes of the village chief and others, she could only nod and say, "It's sent."
Daohua looked puzzled. "Since you've become rich, why are you and your daughter still wearing such thin clothes?" She paused and said, "Girls are delicate, you should take better care of them."
The middle-aged woman nodded with a pale face: "Yes."
Daohua smiled and continued, "Don't do this next time. It's a good thing the prince has just inspected the village. Otherwise, if everyone rushed over like you did, wouldn't people think that the higher-ups didn't properly accommodate you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the middle-aged woman and Wang Xian's faces turned even paler. Since they could not enter the palace, they would have to live in the village in the future and could not offend the village chief and others.
The middle-aged woman quickly explained, "No, no, we left in such a hurry that we forgot to wear the clothes we were given."
Daohua smiled, said nothing, turned and walked towards the carriage.
Xiao Yeyang immediately followed with her son in her arms, looking like a wife following her husband's lead.
