Chapter 474: Long Hair Ties the King's Heart
"You don't have any other injuries?"
Xiao Yeyang asked as he wiped Daohua's hair.
Daohua shook her head: "No, just some bruises."
Xiao Yeyang paused, frowning and asking, "Bruise, what bruise?"
Daohua: "Before, Sun Changze drove a carriage to rescue us. I couldn't climb up and fell to the ground and rolled around a few times. The bruises on my body probably came from that time. Oh, and I also climbed trees a few times, and I might have bumped a few times."
Xiao Yeyang turned to look at Wang Man'er: "Are the bruises on your daughter's body serious? Are there many?"
Wang Man'er was stunned and didn't know how to start.
Isn't it a bit bad that the young prince, a foreigner, asked so directly about the injuries on the girl's body?
Daohua spoke up: "Oh, just some scrapes, nothing serious."
Xiao Yeyang disapproved. "You're a girl, and your skin is more delicate than most people's. What if you get scars?" He paused and said, "I remember foreign envoys presented a scar-removing ointment called Bingji Cream, which is very effective. Just wait, I'll get it for you. I promise you won't get any scars."
Daohua quickly refused: "No, no, Xiao Yeyang, we have finally left a little impression on the emperor, don't ruin it with these insignificant things."
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Insignificant? How is this insignificant? Don't you know that girls shouldn't have scars on their bodies?"
Daohua retorted, "Why not leave a scar? It's covered by clothes anyway, and it doesn't affect the appearance."
Xiao Yeyang opened his lips, looking as if he didn't know what to say. He simply stopped arguing with her and continued to wipe his hair without saying a word.
Seeing that he remained silent, Daohua couldn't help but say again, "Don't ask for that Ice Cream, do you hear me?"
Xiao Yeyang said "hmm" lightly, as for whether to do it or not, it was none of her business.
Neither of them spoke after that.
Wang Maner saw that the food was a little cold, and her daughter's hair would take a while to dry. After thinking about it, she took the food box to the kitchen to heat it up.
Originally, she thought it would be fine if she went out for a while, as Bishi would be back soon after pouring the water. However, Bishi thought that she was there to serve Daohua, so she went to change the medicine for Yanying.
So, only Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were left in the room.
As for Defu who had returned, he always had a good eye. After Wang Maner left, he stood outside the house and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of keeping watch.
Xiao Yeyang first dried Daohua's hair with a towel. Worried that it was not dry enough, he moved a charcoal basin to dry it. After doing this, seeing that Wang Maner had not come back yet, he picked up the comb and started combing her hair.
The black and smooth hair passed through his fingertips, making Xiao Yeyang feel itchy in his heart. He curled up a strand of hair and couldn't help muttering: "My long hair will bind your heart."
Daohua was looking at Xiao Yeyang through the bronze mirror in front of the dressing table. Seeing his gentle expression and focused eyes, her heart was filled with a feeling of joy and sweetness. Then she heard a low hum and couldn't help but look up: "What did you say?"
When Wang Maner came back with the food box, she happened to see the scene reflected in the bronze mirror.
In the bronze mirror, her girl looked up, and the little prince looked down. Both of them looked at each other with extremely focused eyes, as if they were the only two people left in the whole world.
"Ahem~"
Wang Man'er didn't know what to do, so she could only cough to break the sweet atmosphere in the room.
Defu walked over, feeling a little regretful that he couldn't stop Wang Maner.
Alas, this girl Man'er is good in every way except that she lacks vision. The relationship between the master and Miss Yan was so good just now, but it was ruined by her!
Daohua heard the voice and shifted her gaze from Xiao Yeyang to Man'er: "Where have you been? My hair is dry, come and comb it for me."
Wang Maner quickly put down the lunch box and walked to the dressing table.
Xiao Yeyang handed the comb in his hand to her, and then stood beside her naturally.
Daohua glanced at him and said nothing.
Afterwards, Wang Man'er combed her hair, Daohua shaped her eyebrows and put on lipstick, and Xiao Yeyang watched the whole process and gave some suggestions from time to time.
Wang Man'er observed the two of them silently. Seeing that they were both smiling and exchanging glances from time to time, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more between her girl and the little prince.
Xiao Yeyang wanted to lend a hand to help draw eyebrows several times, but he finally held back.
I have already offended the beautiful woman in the carriage, and I cannot do anything reckless again.
After a while, Wang Man'er finished combing Daohua's hair. Xiao Yeyang said quickly, "You must be hungry. Come and have dinner."
Daohua had mostly been eating fruits these days, so seeing the food, she felt really hungry. She walked straight to the table, made it, and casually asked Xiao Yeyang, "Do you want to join us?"
Xiao Yeyang sat down next to Daohua without any hesitation: "Of course, I came out with you and I haven't eaten yet."
Wang Maner and Defu hurriedly helped the two add rice and place chopsticks.
At the dinner table, the two of them ate in silence.
Wang Man'er originally thought that the meal would end smoothly, but at the end, her daughter couldn't finish the rice in her bowl. The little prince took it without saying a word and started eating. She wanted to stop him but it was too late.
Seeing that her daughter just glared at the little prince and didn't say much, Wang Maner felt a little anxious. Were the girl and the little prince too close?
Is this okay?
"After I drop you off at the dock, I won't be going back with you. I'm relieved to have Yuan Xuan escorting me. However, being out is different from being at home, so you should be more alert."
After dinner, Xiao Yeyang said to Daohua.
Daohua nodded. She knew that Xiao Yeyang needed to personally oversee the situation in Sishan Village. "You and my brother should also be careful."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know." After that, he looked at Daohua steadily for a long time before adding, "I may not return to Ningmen Mansion until I'm done with my work here. Don't worry about me and your two brothers!"
Daohua looked away: "I wouldn't think about that."
Xiao Yeyang moved his right hand, wanting to reach out and check the injury on Daohua's ear, but looking at Wang Maner standing beside him, he had no choice but to endure it.
"I'll go see if Yuan Xuan's carriage is ready. You guys can also see if there's anything you need to pack."
Daohua nodded: "I'm going to go see Sun Changze and Yan Ying."
Xiao Yeyang: "Then let's go out together."
In the front yard of the inn, Dong Yuanyao took Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou to check the carriage they were going to take again.
"Miss Dong, the carriage prepared by Master Dong is exactly what we want. There's no need to check it again."
Chen Jiarou looked at Dong Yuanyao helplessly. This person had been dragging them around for a while. She was not tired, but they were.
Jiang Wanying also nodded repeatedly. She wanted to go and talk to Brother Yang, but was delayed by Dong Yuanyao.
Dong Yuanyao didn't want to deal with the two of them, but they were both keeping their eyes on the little prince, and the little prince was with Daohua. For Daohua's future safety, she had to stop them.
However, after glancing at Daohua walking towards them, she immediately dropped her hand: "Okay, since you have no objection, there is no need to check."
As he said this, he walked straight towards the rice flowers.
"Yiyi, are you done packing?"
Daohua walked over, nodded to Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou, then looked at Dong Yuanyao: "I want to go see Sun Changze and the others."
Dong Yuanyao: "Okay, I'll take you there."
Daohua looked at Jiang Wanying and the other girl and asked, "Do you want to go together?"
Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou shook their heads in unison: "No need, go by yourselves."
They were just two servants. They had already expressed their gratitude and given them money, so there was no need to visit them in person.
