There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sky was still raining from time to time, and the water level of the Grand Canal was significantly higher. Yan Zhigao was worried that there would be flood disasters in the boundaries of his jurisdiction, so he would send people to check the situation of the river embankments almost every day.

Fortunately, he never joked about people's livelihood matters or gambled on luck. When building the embankment, he either went to the scene to monitor it in person, or sent his cronies to guard it. In this way, there was no sign of flooding in the area under his control.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of May.

"Daohua, why don't you go to the birthday banquet held by the little prince in the palace tomorrow?" Zhou Jingwan looked at Daohua with a puzzled face.

Daohua looked at Zhou Jingwan: "Didn't you ask me what the birthday gift I gave to Xiao Yeyang was?"

Zhou Jingwan nodded immediately and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Daohua hooked her index finger, Zhou Jingwan immediately put her head close, and then Daohua whispered a few words in her ear.

"what?!"

After listening to Daohua's words, Zhou Jingwan's eyes widened.

Daohua shrugged and spread her hands: "I can't bring my birthday present, so why would I be so embarrassed to go there empty-handed!"

Zhou Jingwan was stunned for a while, then shook her head and said, "You really think about it!" After speaking, she gave Daohua a sour look, "It's a shame that I'm still your good sister, the birthday gift you gave me was not so high. Heart."

Daohua immediately quit: "It's not a shame for you to say this. The rouge gouache and perfume that you use now, which one of them I didn't make with great effort? Last time on your birthday, I specially gave it to you. I made a big cake and tossed it back and forth for more than a month to make that cake."

Zhou Jingwan smiled suddenly, then quickly leaned in and sat over: "Good Daohua, I said something wrong, but next time I celebrate my birthday, I will be like the little prince."

Daohua was a little speechless: "This gift is just a surprise, you already know it, what's the point of that? Why don't you be more practical?"

Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Don't say it, it's true, no wonder you refused to say it before."

Daohua said immediately: "Tomorrow you will go to the palace, but you won't say a lot, no matter what, you have to wait for Xiao Yeyang to read it before you can say it, otherwise, there is nothing to look forward to this gift of mine. ."

Zhou Jingwan blinked: "I'm not worried about you? I promise not to say a word."

Daohua expressed doubts: "If you leak your mouth, my efforts will be in vain. When Xiao Yeyang asks me for another gift, I will have to find you."

Zhou Jingwan quickly covered her mouth and shook her head.

She is poor, but she can't give gifts to the little prince. She will definitely keep her mouth shut.

Wuhua Mountain Palace.

On the first day of June, people came to the palace one after another early in the morning.

Governor Guo rushed back from Fenxi a few days ago, just to celebrate Xiao Yeyang's birthday. Today, he is Xiao Yeyang's elder to the outside world.

Merlin Courtyard.

Guo Ruomei was also busy, checking various matters, for fear that something was wrong and her son would be embarrassed.

When she left Prince Ping's mansion, her son was only five years old.

In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed. During this period, she has never given her son a birthday. Now she finally has a chance to hold a birthday banquet for her son.

Outside the house, under the plum tree in the courtyard, a man in green clothes, who looked elegant and in his thirties, silently looked at the busy Guo Ruomei, the joy between her brows, and his eyes were slightly sad.

At the same time, in front of the palace gate.

As today's birthday star, Xiao Yeyang had to come out to welcome the guests. Although he was always smiling, he was really uninterested. He kept thinking about what gift Daohua had prepared for him.

Daohua knew Xiao Yeyang's temperament, and wrote him a letter early in the morning, explaining the whole story and telling him that she couldn't come today.

Although he was a little disappointed, he was relieved when he thought that the gift he had prepared for him was too special.

Xiao Yeyang was guessing, and Dong Yuanxuan was also guessing.

"Hey, what gift did Sister Yan prepare?" Zhou Chengye touched Yan Wenxiu with his hand.

Yan Wenxiu shook his head: "Don't ask me, I didn't hear any news."

Immediately, Zhou Chengye turned his attention to Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao.

The two shook their heads in unison.

"We don't know either."

Dong Yuanxuan winked at Zhou Chengye: "How about you go ask your sister?"

Zhou Chengye said angrily, "I asked for it a long time ago, but that girl covered her mouth and refused to say anything."

Dong Yuanxuan sighed: "Yes, let's wait together."

Although Xiao Yeyang was thinking about Daohua's gift in his heart, when he thought of this birthday banquet specially organized for him by his uncle and the person in the other courtyard, he didn't want to show his good intentions, but he was still happily entertaining all parties.

Guo Ruomei knew early in the morning that Daohua didn't come, and she knew why she didn't come. Seeing that her son couldn't sit still, she immediately shook her head, but she still attracted the maid Meishuang with understanding.

"Go and tell Yang'er that after lunch, let him play around with his friends. The guests in the palace are watched by his uncle."

When Xiao Yeyang heard the message from Mei Shuang, his eyes suddenly lit up. He wanted to say a few words of thanks, but he couldn't say it.

Seeing this, Mei Shuang immediately smiled: "Little master goes out to play, if you have fun, remember to bring some gifts back to the master."

Xiao Yeyang immediately nodded in response.

During lunch, Xiao Yeyang followed behind Governor Guo with full etiquette, toasted the people who came, and gave him enough face, and the guests enjoyed their meals and drinks.

However, as soon as lunch was over, he slipped away.

"Go, go to Xingzhou City!"

Xiao Yeyang called Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao, and then took Defu and guards on the cruise. As for the other partners, they were handed over to Dong Yuanxuan and Su Hongxin to entertain.

If he wasn't worried about going to see Daohua alone, it would be bad for her reputation, and he wouldn't want to take it alone.

The gift that Daohua prepared for him should be viewed by him alone.

Yan House.

When she heard that the maid came to report that Xiao Yeyang was coming, Daohua was stunned for several seconds, she thought that Xiao Yeyang would not come until tomorrow or a few days.

Today, Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li also went to the palace. Daohua told Mrs. Yan and took Wang Maner and Qin Xiaoliu out of the palace.

"Why did you come so soon?"

Looking at Henry Zhang and the third and fourth brothers behind him, Daohua asked with a smile.

Xiao Yeyang raised his chin: "I'm here to receive my present."

Daohua smiled and said, "You're in a hurry. Well, as a birthday gift, it only makes sense to give it on the same day, and the weather is just fine today, so come with me!"

On the way, the three of Xiao Yeyang saw that Daohua was leading them towards Zhuangzi, and they were a little puzzled. Could it be that the gift was in Zhuangzi?

When they were about to reach their destination, Wang Man'er came over with a handkerchief, smiled and said to Xiao Yeyang, "Little Prince, the girl asked you to blindfold."

Xiao Yeyang was stunned for a while: "Do I still need to do this? Where am I riding a horse?"

Wang Man'er smiled and said, "You can sit in the carriage for a while."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua who was sitting in front of the carriage with his legs swaying, and after thinking for a while, he got off the horse, glanced at the handkerchief in Wang Man'er's hand, passed it directly, walked towards the carriage, and then jumped to sit on the other side of the carriage.

Daohua turned to look at him: "It's coming soon, you have to cover your eyes, otherwise there will be no surprises."

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Wang Man'er who handed over the handkerchief again, and said with disgust, "I won't use other people's things casually."

The smile on Wang Man'er's face froze, and she looked at Daohua aggrieved.

Does the little prince despise her dirty handkerchief?

Daohua was also a little speechless, and threw the handkerchief in his hand to him.

Looking at the bunch of rice ears on the handkerchief, Xiao Yeyang took the handkerchief in his hand, and then stopped moving again.

"You are covered!"

Xiao Yeyang took the handkerchief and looked at Daohua: "How can I be blinded myself?"

Daohua was speechless and pulled the handkerchief: "You are really pampered." While speaking, she covered the handkerchief on Xiao Yeyang.

Not long after he was covered, Xiao Yeyang heard Yan Wenkai's shouting from behind: "What, are you here yet?" Immediately, he felt his wrist being pulled.

"It's here, just follow me!"

Xiao Yeyang knew that Daohua was pulling him, but he cooperated.

After walking for a while, he smelled the faint fragrance of flowers, and suddenly thought to himself, shouldn't the gift that Daohua gave him be flowers?

It's over, how can this be done?

For him, it's okay to reward flowers occasionally, but if he really likes them, it's impossible to say.

What should he look like in a moment?

Hmm. Anyway, Daohua must have put a lot of thought into it. Although he didn't like it, he still had to show a little surprise.

Otherwise, it will dampen the enthusiasm of this guy, and he should quit his job in the coming year.

Just when Xiao Yeyang was thinking about this, Daohua stopped.

"Okay, you can pull the handkerchief off!"

Although Xiao Yeyang had guesses in his heart, he was still a little curious, and quickly tore off the handkerchief covering his eyes.

Almost in an instant, a sea of ​​golden flowers came into view. In the center of the sea of ​​flowers, Xiao Yeyang had a happy birthday, and the seven characters were particularly conspicuous.

"Sunflower, also known as sun flower, Henry Zhang, I wish you, like this sun flower, will be born in the sun."
