Chapter 842, embarrassed
The next patriarch of the Jiang family and the eldest grandson who had worked so hard were killed one after another, which made Gu Jian very happy. Daohua and Xiao Yeyang clearly felt this when they arrived at Four Seasons Villa.
July is the hottest time, and the hot weather did not stop the old man from being in a good mood.
Old prince Yong is too old and can’t stand the heat. Every summer he goes to Zhuangzi to escape the heat. He often chats and drinks tea with Gu Jian. The two princes are getting more and more familiar.
Dao Hua and Xiao Yeyang's reputation was not very good during this period, but knowing that the two were here, the old prince still sent someone back to his house to call out his grandson Xiao Ye.
Xiao Yeyang saw the intention of the old prince Yong, and did not say anything about it. Although Xiao Yexuan's ability is not outstanding, he is still sincere, and he is willing to befriend him.
In the royal family, he still needs to establish his own network.
The prince is not allowed to befriend, but clan relatives can still come closer.
Because Xiao Yeyang had no errands, after Xiao Yeyang arranged for the secret guards to stare at Jiang's house, he stayed with Daohua in Zhuangzi.
The day before Qixi, Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong came to Four Seasons Villa together.
"Why are you here?"
Inahua looked at the two in surprise.
Kang Naixin smiled and asked, "Why are you not welcome?"
Daohua immediately smiled and said, "Ms. Kang and Ms. Wu can come here. The humble house is really brilliant." She said, welcoming them into the house.
After drinking a sip of tea, Wu Xirong said with a smile: “Tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the young ladies from the capital have met to hold a begging party at Yunhe Tower. Nai Xingu and I didn’t like such a gathering, so we hid in the Zhuangzi.”
"The crowded parties are weird and boring." Daohua asked the maid to serve iced watermelons and grapes, and chatted with Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong about other things with a smile.
Kang Naixin smiled and ate the watermelon: "Xirong and I will live in Zhuangzi for a few days, and we will come to see you every day. Don't hesitate to entertain us."
Daohua laughed: "Watermelon and grapes are full."
After eating fruit for a while, Kang Naixin glanced at Wu Xirong and asked Daohua with a smile: "I heard that Xiao Yexuan often comes to your villa?"
Daohua nodded: "The old prince likes to chat and drink tea with my master. He came with the old prince."
At noon, Caiju came to inform him to eat, and Daohua took the two to Gu Jian’s courtyard. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xiao Yexuan and Wu Dingbo standing beside Xiao Yeyang.
"Your brother is here too?"
Wu Xirong nodded and said: "My father thinks that my brother has nothing to do at home, and always scolds him, knowing that Naixin and I are coming to Zhuangzi, so he hid with us."
There were a few more young people, and the dinner table immediately became lively.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and Gu Jian and Lao Yong were also very happy.
A few days later, Kang Naixin, Wu Dingbo, and Wu Xirong would come to Four Seasons Villa every day. As they had more contact, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua knew more about them.
During , Daohua noticed that Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong always leaned towards Xiao Yexuan intentionally or unintentionally.
She remembered that at the time of the New Year, the two people also visited her Zhuangzi. It was also when Xiao Yexuan was there. They were both guests and they knew each other. At that time, she and Xiao Yeyang had a banquet for three people in the pavilion.
One encounter is a coincidence, but two or three times are not.
Daohua looked at Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong.
The two are about a year younger than her, and they are both good in family background and appearance, but they have not yet married.
I don’t know who these two people fell in love with Xiao Yexuan?
The time spent in Zhuangzi passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was July 16th. Tomorrow was the Queen Mother’s birthday. Xiao Yeyang and Daohua had to get up and return home even if they didn’t want to go.
In the carriage back to the city, Xiao Yeyang saw that Daohua had no energy, and he thought about it and said, "You have a good time with Miss Kang and Miss Wu?"
Inahua: "It's okay, both of them are relatively straightforward, and they are not squeamish, they are very easy to get along with."
Xiao Yeyang suddenly smiled and said, "Since you can get along with them, please invite them to the palace to accompany you more in the future, lest you get bored."
Daohua sighed: "Yuan Yao went back to her husband's house with Sun Changze, and Shiyu followed her fourth brother to Yuezhou. Jingwan was about to give birth again. I couldn't even find anyone who could say something about it. It was really boring. Of."
Xiao Yeyang took Daohua and said with a smile: "The eldest princess and the Wu family are both neutral royalists. We can befriend them."
Daohua said ‘um’.
July 17, the Queen Mother’s birthday.
Because of the death of Jiang Shizi, this birthday did not take place, but the royal family gathered together and held a family banquet in Ci Ning Palace.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang honestly followed Prince Ping and gave the Queen Mother a present, and the Queen Mother hummed, and even the Prince Ping did not give a good face.
As all the clan members watched, Prince Ping smiled stiffly and took Daohua and Xiao Yeyang to his seat.
Compared with the excitement elsewhere, the place where Inaka and the others sit seems to be separated by a vacuum belt.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang didn't care much, but Prince Ping was a little uncomfortable.
Sitting for a while, Prince Ping went to talk to King Rui.
Princess Huijia also brought Kang Naixin. When Kang Naixin saw Daohua, she smiled and greeted her.
An uncommon greeting pierced the Queen Mother’s eye, and the Queen Mother had princess Huijia and Kang Naixin on the spot.
"Hui Jia, Nai Xin is not too young, so why haven't you talked about her? If you don't have a suitable candidate, Ai's family can set her up."
Hearing this, the expressions of Princess Huijia and Kang Naixingu changed.
The empress dowager refers to marriage. It must be based on interests, and it is also the interests of the Jiang family. What good marriage can it refer to?
Princess Huijia quickly said: "After returning to the Queen Mother, Erchen has already shown Naixin a good view of her."
The Queen Mother: "Oh? Whose family is it? Let's listen to you. Please refer to the Ai family for help."
Seeing the queen mother she didn’t tell who she was, she would point to the appearance of the marriage. Princess Huijia hesitated. She knew her daughter’s thoughts. Wu Dingbo, who liked the Wu family, had never come to the house to express this. How did she speak?
Kang Naixin noticed her mother’s embarrassment, thought about it and stepped forward and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Naixin likes Wu Dingbo of Dudu Wu’s house."
only said that she likes it, but did not say that the two families have been set up. In the future, whether the Wu family is willing to marry her, it will not be regarded as cheating the queen mother.
The queen mother obviously did not want to let Kang Naixin mean: "You like Wu Dingbo, then does Wu Dingbai like you?"
It is really humiliating to ask a question like a girl who has not come out of the cabinet.
Princess Huijia was so angry that she clenched her fists.
"Why is it so quiet?"
The emperor walked into the hall with a smile, and glanced at the standing princess Huijia and Kang Naixin.
The queen mother smiled and said: "The emperor came here just right, Naixin said that she likes Wu Dingbo from the Wu family, do you want to?"
The emperor smiled and interrupted the queen mother's words: "Dingbai, that kid is really good." As he said, he didn't give the queen mother a chance to speak, and looked at the clan family present.
"Are you ready for the gifts for the Queen Mother?"
The old prince Yong immediately took the words: "I'm ready early, just wait for the emperor to come over and show it to the Queen Mother."
The emperor: "What are you waiting for, please submit it. I will also see what good things you all gave."
Under the leadership of the old prince Yong, all the royal family members began to offer their gifts one after another, turning aside the matter just now.
Seeing this, the queen mother was very angry, but she couldn't face the emperor, she could only face the people who offered gifts to express her dissatisfaction.
As usual, Prince Ping was the most active gift, but this time, he sat still.
Before, the queen mother didn’t give a good face to Prince Ping’s mansion. He said that she was old and didn’t take it seriously, but the daughter of Sister Huijia was embarrassed by her publicly because she said hello to Yan Yatou.
What does the Queen Mother want to do?
Do you want everyone to exclude Yeyang and his wife?
Has she ever thought about his feelings when she did this?
When I think of the graciousness of Chenghuan these years, Prince Ping always feels that he has paid wrongly.
The Queen Mother actually didn't care about him at all.
