There is Room For the Poor Daughter

By the time Daohua washed and dressed, it was already four quarters of the hour (8 o'clock in the morning).

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, he took Dong Yuanyao and went out with the Li brothers and sisters.

"My aunts, you have come out!"

As soon as Daohua came out of the gate, Yan Wenkai jumped off his horse and walked quickly to Daohua's side: "Why did it take so long?"

"It's getting up late." Daohua explained briefly, and then looked around, and saw her three brothers, as well as Big Brother Dong, but did not see Xiao Yeyang.

Daohua frowned invisibly, but quickly put it aside, and said with an apologetic smile: "I didn't know you were here too. I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting for a long time."

Dong Yuanxuan walked over with the horse and smiled: "It's okay, we just arrived"

"Just arrived?"

Yan Wenkai looked at Dong Yuanxuan in disbelief: "We've been waiting for half an hour. You said we just arrived? If I knew I would be waiting outside for so long, I'll be in the house."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yan Wenkai without words.

Yan Wenkai was seen as uncomfortable by everyone, especially when he saw his sister staring at him angrily, and stepped back after realizing it. "

Dong Yuanyao covered his mouth with one hand and walked towards the carriage with Daohua in the other.

"Hahaha~"

After getting on the carriage, Dong Yuanyao didn't hold back and laughed directly: "Yi Yi, I found that your fourth brother is really a living treasure, it's too funny."

Li Zixuan and Li Zixin are also laughing lowly.

Daohua glanced at Dong Yuanyao: "A living treasure? It's for you, do you want it?"

The smile on Dong Yuanyao's face suddenly disappeared, and she shook her head very simply: "Forget it, I can't bear it, so I'll leave it to you."

The group went straight to Wangyangkou.

By the time they arrived, Wangyangkou was already full of people, and the shouting was loud.

The dragon boat race has already started, and the people watching are cheering for their favorite dragon boat.

"so many people?!"

Looking at the crowd of people standing shoulder to shoulder, Daohua was a little bit discouraged. She likes liveliness, but she doesn't like too crowded occasions.

After getting off the carriage, Daohua stood on tiptoe and looked around. All she could see were human heads.

"Let's go!"

Dong Yuanyao took Daohua, and under the leadership of Dong Yuanxuan, walked straight towards the observation platform with few people.

The observation deck is built on the river bank. There is one every few meters. One is about 20 to 30 square meters. There are tables and chairs. The closer to the match point, the tighter the observation deck.

These observation decks are all controlled by the government office, and are rented out at high prices to dignitaries who come to watch the dragon boat race. Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, the government office will make a lot of money.

After walking through the crowd for a while, Daohua's group came to a relatively front observation deck.

At this moment, almost all the observation decks on the lower left of them were already occupied, but there were still some vacant seats on the upper right.

Dong Yuanyao saw Daohua staring at the empty viewing platforms, and sneered: "The big man always has to be the last to arrive."

Daohua smiled and nodded: "Don't my uncle and aunt come to see the dragon boat race?"

Dong Yuanyao pouted and said, "Come, of course I will come, and there will be many people following along."

Daohua touched Dong Yuanyao with her crutches: "Why do you speak in this tone?"

Dong Yuanyao tilted her head to Daohua's ear and said in a low voice, "Including this year, my father has been serving as a political envoy in Zhongzhou for five years, and he has never made a high profile in public."

"But who would have thought that now there is a Jiang Chengzheng, and as soon as he arrives, in front of the officials, he encourages my father to bring everyone to watch the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival."

"You don't know. When my mother found out, she was so angry that she broke her favorite colored glass tea set, and my grandmother was so angry that she drank porridge for three days."

"My father was dispatched to be the political envoy of Zhongzhou. He has been cautious all these years, for fear of being caught by political opponents and participating in the presence of the emperor, leaving a bad impression on the emperor."

"It's been low-key for four or five years, but now it's better, and it's all destroyed."

As if to confirm Dong Yuanyao's words, suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. Daohua looked back and saw a group of officials in official uniforms strolling over.

The first few were Dong Yuanyao's father, Dong Buzheng.

Behind the officials, there was also a group of female relatives in brocade clothes, either holding a fan or waving a brocade handkerchief, laughing at Yan Yan and walking slowly.

As soon as the group arrived, the crowd immediately gave up a wide avenue for them to pass.

The officials occupied the first observation decks according to their grades, and the latter ones belonged to the female family members.

As soon as these people sat down, the best viewing platforms were all filled.

No, one is still empty.

The one with the best view and closest to the stop point is still empty.

Daohua didn't look any further, she quickly retracted her gaze, and said indifferently, "It's so grand."

Dong Yuanyao saw that on the fifth observation platform, Madam Jiang passed her mother directly and sat directly in the middle position, and immediately snorted: "It's not very ostentatious, how can you bear the dignity of others?"

Her father is a political envoy and the highest official in a province. The wife is the husband, and her mother should sit in the middle position. Mrs. Jiang is just a political wife. Relying on the power of the empress dowager and queen, she does not put anyone else on the table. eyes.

Abominable, disgusting!

Daohua patted Dong Yuanyao's hand: "Let's watch the next game. Do you know a dragon boat? Let's cheer for it."

Dong Yuanyao didn't continue to pay attention to the affairs of his parents. He just focused his attention on the dragon boat on the river below. Who knows, there was a commotion in the crowd at this time.

"Who is it this time?"

Daohua turned her head curiously, and then her expression froze.

Surrounded by a bodyguard, Xiao Yeyang, wearing a jade crown and indigo blue robe, walked over with a folding fan in his hand, Junyi's face was filled with innate nobility, and with his gestures, he showed the pride of a royal. He is undoubtedly noble.

Behind him, followed by a beautiful girl with a sweet smile and a weak willow.

The girl seemed not to be able to walk too fast, so with a light change, Xiao Yeyang, who was walking in front, would stop and wait for her, and then the two would walk side by side.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing Daohua staring blankly at the little prince and Jiang Wanying, Dong Yuanyao stretched out her hand and shook a few times in front of her.

Daohua returned to her senses and glanced at Xiao Yeyang who was looking down at the girl who didn't know what to say. She quickly retracted her gaze and said lightly, "What can I do? But seeing Xiao Yeyang's high-profile appearance, some Just surprised."

After speaking, he paused and asked casually.

"Who is the girl beside Xiao Yeyang?"

Dong Yuanyao: "Jiang Wanying, the jewel of Jiang Cangzheng, the little prince's cousin." After speaking, she glanced at Daohua, pondered for a while, and said, "I grew up with the little prince in the Queen Mother's Palace."

Daohua was stunned: "So, the two of them are still childhood sweethearts?!"
