Daohua smiled and responded to her mother, "Mom, Xiao Yeyang has been really good to me, you can rest assured." Turning to Yan Zhigao, she asked, "Father, has the Crown Prince not troubled our family these past two years?"
Xiao Yeyang slapped the An Family’s face, and Daomiao obtained her master’s title. The Crown Prince definitely disliked their family a lot, especially since the Prince and her mother sometimes troubled the Crown Prince’s residence, and she worried a lot about the Crown Prince venting his anger on the Yan Family.
Yan Zhigao chuckled: "I manage the distribution of grain types at the Ministry of Revenue, an affair that concerns the people’s livelihood. The Emperor values this, and I get summoned often, so the Crown Prince dare not do anything to me. Besides, your third brother is also there."
"Several princes are fiercely competing, and none are without blemishes. The Crown Prince wouldn’t want the Jinling Guard to keep tabs on him. There are occasional provocations, but all are trivial matters."
Only then did Daohua feel relieved. She then had some heartfelt conversations with Madam Li before returning to the old lady’s residence, where they chatted into the wee hours before going to sleep.
...
After all, Xiao Yeyang was a prince and could not escape the social obligations. Since returning from the Yan Residence, he had been leaving early and returning late daily.
As for Sanxiao, he was completely won over by the fun-loving Prince Yiyi, following him everywhere in a frolic.
Daohua was also busy. After coming back to Beijing, she had to maintain necessary relationships and attended nearly ten banquets in less than half a month.
"Xiliang is still better. Except for the essential festivals, it’s up to me whether to meet outsiders or not. But staying in Beijing, you can’t shirk this or offend that. Just dealing with people can wear one out."
Daohua lay on the beautician’s chair, letting Xiao Yeyang massage her.
Xiao Yeyang chuckled, "Didn’t you long to return to Beijing while we were in Xiliang?"
Daohua: "Wasn’t I missing grandmother and the others?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Most of the necessary visits are done, and with the father managing with the kids around, you should visit the Yan Residence more often to accompany grandma and your parents-in-law."
Daohua quickly nodded, "This meeting, I felt grandma has aged quite a bit, and even my father and mother have more gray hair."
Xiao Yeyang laughed again, "Grandma is known in Beijing for being robust. At her age, who else could still work in the fields during planting and harvesting seasons like she can?"
Thinking of grandmother’s grip on her hand, Daohua couldn’t help but smile, "It’s good for the elderly to exercise more." Pausing for a moment, she added, "The master instructed us to take Daomiao to the Duke Residence to familiarize with the place, when should we go?"
