Chapter 225: Chapter 207, Must Not Provoke_1
“Heh, I told you two were alike, just look at yourselves, even your clothing styles are nearly identical.”
In the temporary palace, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao changed into men’s attire and came out, Zhou Jingwan immediately clapped her hands with laughter.
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao exchanged glances, sizing up each other’s clothes.
Yep, they really did look quite similar.
The same moon-white robes, the same folding fans in hand, the same affected air of suavity…
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Simultaneously, they flicked open their fans, fanning and averting their gazes.
Seeing this, Zhou Jingwan and the maids in the room all bowed their heads and covered their mouths to giggle secretly.
Daohua quickly fanned herself several times, speaking calmly, “Alright, let’s go out now, don’t keep big brother and the others waiting too long.”
At this moment, the lead senior maid said with a smile as she stood up: “Misses, the eunuch in charge mentioned that if you like the riding attire, you’re welcome to take it with you.”
The three ladies exchanged glances and decisively turned to get the clothes.
“Getting both a horse and clothing, this feels really good. I truly wish Little Prince would invite us out for fun more often.” Zhou Jingwan handed the clothes to the accompanying maid with a delighted expression.
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looked at each other once again, sharing a smile, but said nothing.
By the time the three arrived at the entrance of the temporary palace, Xiao Yeyang and the others had already been waiting there for a while.
“Girls are just so troublesome, always slow in whatever they do, not the least bit efficient.”
Yan Wenkai’s comment immediately drew three hostile glances.
Daohua spoke with a displeased tone, “Fourth Brother, what did you just say? Your voice was too soft, I didn’t catch it, say it again.”
Zhou Jingwan also pouted and looked at Yan Wenkai: “Yan Fourth Brother is the most boring, not considerate at all like Yan Big Brother and Yan Third Brother.”
Dong Yuanyao, trying not to laugh, said, “If Yan Fourth Brother finds us such a bother, he’d better never marry.”
Yan Wenkai, feeling the combined fire of the three ladies directed at him, with an expression suggesting he wouldn’t like what would happen if he dared to say more, suddenly felt intimidated.
At the same time, he felt somewhat wronged.
Was it not just a single complaint?
While waiting earlier, it wasn’t just him who commented on the inconvenience of girls.
Why was he the only one being targeted?
Yan Wenkai had the intention to retort, but seeing the dangerous glances of the three ladies, he swiftly admitted defeat, turned his head aside, and played the quail.
Seeing this, the three young ladies exchanged a victorious smile.
What’s more audacious, Daohua raised her palm, and as soon as Dong Yuanyao and Zhou Jingwan saw this, they immediately followed suit, and the three ladies then high-fived each other in front of everyone’s gaze.
“Incredible, incredible, the young ladies nowadays are not to be provoked!”
Turning his back, Su Hongxin spoke to Xiao Yeyang and the others, and to avoid the same treatment as Yan Wenkai, he kept his voice very low.
Hearing this, the others showed expressions of agreement.
Dong Yuanxuan laughed, “It’s getting late, let’s go.”
The three ladies returned to the port to join their elders, while Xiao Yeyang and his companions headed back to the academy, which happened to be on the way.
…
Huayang Prefecture’s port.
Yan Zhigao and others were already waiting there, sitting on the Dong Family’s pleasure boat chatting. Compared to when they arrived, the group had grown considerably, as it was the Double Ninth Festival and many had come out to climb the mountain and enjoy the views.
“Zhigao, the Imperial Court’s decree has been issued. The grain seeds you reported are to be requisitioned for use in several prefectures that still haven’t recovered from the drought of the past few years. I think it won’t be long before someone arrives in Xingzhou to collect the seeds, so you should be prepared for that,” said the Provincial Governor Dong Jiancheng, who had also arranged to climb Wuhua Mountain with friends that day and had met Yan Zhigao and his group, so they had joined up for the outing.
Yan Zhigao nodded, “The seeds have always been carefully stored in the Prefectural Governor’s Office warehouse. I will make sure to check again after I return today to ensure there are no mistakes.”
