"Ouch, lighten up, it hurts!" freёweɓnovel.com
Daohua’s arm was indeed pulled, and at this moment, Xiao Yeyang was applying medicinal liquid for activating blood circulation and dispersing bruises on her.
Seeing Daohua break into a sweat, Xiao Yeyang felt a deep heartache and grew resentful towards the Third Prince and his consort. After a moment of silence, he said,
"From now on, take Mei Lan and Mei Ju with you when you enter the palace."
Today, if Mei Lan or Mei Ju had been there, there would have been no need for Daohua to rescue someone herself.
Daohua nodded, "Alright, I’ll bring them along when I go out from now on." Entering the capital had indeed increased the danger level, and it was necessary to bring more bodyguards.
On New Year’s Eve, one must stay up late, and although Xiao Yeyang originally wanted to let her rest due to her injury, Daohua would not agree.
"You are a married man, how can you stay up alone?"
Unable to stop Daohua, Xiao Yeyang had no choice but to let her be.
The two of them first had some midnight snacks before sitting at the window seat to play chess to pass the time.
Around 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM, the Prince returned to the Prince Residence with the Princess Consort and others.
After a short while, the Prince arrived at Pingxi Hall.
"Is girl Yan alright?"
Even before he entered the room, the Prince’s voice was heard.
Xiao Yeyang and Daohua quickly got up to greet him.
Daohua smiled, "Father, you shouldn’t have to come and see me so late at night, your daughter-in-law is alright."
Seeing Daohua’s arm in a sling, the Prince instructed Xiao Yeyang, "Take good care of your wife, it’s fortunate that she was here today, otherwise the fourth son might have..."
He didn’t finish his sentence. Such a high wall, a child older than three falling would undoubtedly not survive.
Xiao Yeyang said, "Understood."
The Prince gestured to Huai En to place down a few boxes he was holding, "These are gifts from the emperor to girl Yan, put them away."
Daohua immediately smiled and exclaimed, "The Uncle Emperor is truly too kind." She quickly waved Wang Manman to put the items away.
The Prince didn’t leave immediately and looked at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, "Are you staying up late?"
Daohua nodded, "Father, would you join us?"
The Prince, thinking it had been many years since he last stayed up late with Xiao Yeyang, coughed lightly and agreed with a nod.
Xiao Yeyang looked helplessly at Daohua.
Daohua shrugged her shoulders, could she say that it was just a polite invitation?
The two of them had no choice but to sit in the living room with the Prince, idly waiting. Daohua asked Wang Manman to bring the chess board out, "Father, why don’t you play a game with Xiao Yeyang?"
The Prince looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "Let’s play!"
However, the game ended in less than fifteen minutes.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the Prince with an indescribable expression; he hadn’t expected his father’s chess skills to be so poor, even worse than Daohua’s.
Seeing the Prince’s embarrassed face, Daohua jovially eased the situation, "Father, let’s play a game. I’m not good at chess, please go easy on me."
The Prince’s expression relaxed a bit, thinking, he might not outplay his son, but surely he could defeat his daughter-in-law?
After a while,
"Hey, men do not take back their moves, why are you changing the position of the pieces?"
"I am a woman, not a man."
Just as Princess Consort Ji and Xiao Yechang came over, they happened to hear the Prince’s roar. The two paused for a moment before Princess Consort Ji walked in smiling.
"Is the Prince here as well?"
The Prince, seeing Princess Consort Ji and Xiao Yechang, expressed surprise, "What brings you here?"
Princess Consort Ji smiled at Daohua, "I and Chang came to see how severe the county princess’s injuries were."
Daohua got up and curtsied, "Thank you for your concern, Consort Ji, I am not seriously injured."
The Prince looked pleased at Princess Consort Ji and Xiao Yechang, "Your thoughtfulness is appreciated."
Xiao Yechang first paid respects to Daohua, and then looked at Xiao Yeyang, "Brother."
Xiao Yechang gave Xiao Yeyang a critical look, let out a faint ’Hmm,’ his brother’s presence indeed wasn’t strong, and he often nearly forgot about him.
Princess Consort Ji was competent; a few words later, knowing that the Prince planned to stay up late in Pingxi Hall, she and Xiao Yechang tactfully stayed behind.
Thus, their stay-up late of three turned into five.
Soon, Guyu came in to report that Xiao Yuhua had arrived.
