The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 901

Chapter 901: Chapter 778, Killing Intent

Daohua noticed her master was in better spirits after meeting with Prince Shengping, and with the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival in mind, she decided to personally write an invitation for him to come to the Four Seasons Manor to appreciate flowers and enjoy the moonlight.

After finishing the invitation, Daohua selected a few pots of the Mo Ju that Prince Shengping had admired before, and then summoned Yan Shouhou to deliver the invitation and flowers to the Prince Residence.

Compared to his first visit when he had been coldly ignored, Yan Shouhou found himself treated with much more courtesy this time.

Upon receiving the Mo Jes, Prince Shengping’s mood greatly improved, and he couldn’t help but praise Daohua’s thoughtfulness. After reading her invitation, he thought he should give some face to his future daughter-in-law.

However, he wouldn’t be able to attend on Mid-Autumn Festival itself since there was a banquet at the Imperial Palace.

After some thought, Prince Shengping decided to visit the Four Seasons Manor before the festival and enjoy the flower appreciation while also having Old Master Gu give him some acupuncture treatment.

Having received such fine gifts, Prince Shengping felt he couldn’t enjoy them alone. He immediately took two pots of Mo Ju to the Imperial Palace, intending to present one each to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

At the Imperial Palace.

The Emperor, seeing the Mo Ju, laughed as he listened to Prince Shengping proudly boast about his future daughter-in-law.

"Although Yan girl’s background isn’t remarkable, she’s very sensible, knowing my brother likes Mo Ju, she eagerly sent these over and even invited him to enjoy the moon and flowers during Mid-Autumn."

Hearing this, the Emperor spoke, "I had no idea the Yan family, besides being adept at farming, were also so skilled in gardening. Since she has invited you, you should go on Mid-Autumn Festival and bring me back a few famous flowers."

Prince Shengping paused, "Imperial brother, I need to enter the palace on Mid-Autumn to celebrate with you and mother."

The Emperor shook his head, "Since the Xiliao Delegation left, the Empress Dowager has been ill. This year, I do not plan to hold a grand celebration, you don’t have to come to the palace."

Prince Shengping quickly glanced at the Emperor, knowing the Empress Dowager wasn’t truly ill, but was upset because he hadn’t given face to the Jiang Family. If the Emperor took this opportunity to mollify the Empress Dowager, she surely wouldn’t continue to feign illness.

Prince Shengping moved his lips, but in the end, said nothing to mediate.

He was also quite upset about the previous incident where the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family had conspired to frame Yan girl.

...

Two days before Mid-Autumn Festival, Prince Shengping arrived at the Four Seasons Manor.

Upon entering, he saw a Ferghana horse tied up and immediately asked, "What, are there other guests here?"

The manager promptly replied with a smile, "Prince, the Little Prince has come."

Hearing Xiao Yeyang was also there, Prince Shengping’s expression stiffened momentarily, and he huffed unhappily in his heart. That rascal, back from his duties and didn’t come to see me first but went straight to his fiancée.

Meanwhile, Daohua, knowing that Prince Shengping had arrived, informed Gu Jian and then pulled Xiao Yeyang out to greet him.

"Prince, you’ve arrived!"

Seeing Daohua’s smiling face and feeling her happiness and warm welcome, Prince Shengping couldn’t help but smile. However, seeing Xiao Yeyang with a stern face beside him, his smile faded, and he responded with a subdued "hmm."

Daohua smiled, twisted Xiao Yeyang’s waist slightly, and gave him a warning look. Reluctantly, Xiao Yeyang greeted Prince Shengping.

"Father!"

Prince Shengping asked, "Have you reported your duties to your Imperial uncle?"

Xiao Yeyang replied, "I have."

Watching the father and son converse coldly, Daohua quickly smiled, trying to smooth things over, "Prince, you’ve finally arrived. The hibiscuses, roses, and camellias in the manor have been blooming, waiting for someone who appreciates flowers as you do to come and see them."

Leading the way toward Gu Jian’s courtyard, she added, "My master also loves flowers, so you can have a good exchange with him after you arrive."

Prince Shengping looked skeptical, "Old Master Gu loves flowers? That doesn’t seem like him to me!"

"Uh..."

Daohua chuckled awkwardly, "As they say, appearances can be deceiving. My master is just a bit aloof. You’ll understand after you interact with him a few more times."

Pausing, she added, "As for the elderly, we, the younger generation, should accommodate them. If we humor their temperament, getting along naturally becomes much smoother."

Prince Shengping found this statement odd—what did she mean by ’we, the younger generation’? Wasn’t he a prince?

It should be Old Master Gu accommodating him!

Daohua continued, "My master is very generous. As long as you are kind to him, he will give you whatever you ask for."

Walking alongside, Xiao Yeyang watched Daohua trying her best to foster a good relationship between his father and his uncle. Yet his father hadn’t fully taken the words to heart, still holding himself with pride and dignity, making Xiao Yeyang somewhat revel in his father’s plight.

He remembered how he, despite his own meticulous and attentive efforts, had suffered under his uncle’s hands.
