The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 929 - 794, Offering Tea

After cuddling and being affectionate in bed for a while, Xiao Yeyang finally laughed and got out of bed, calling for Wang Manman and the others waiting outside to come in and serve.

Daohua had Wang Manman bring her a loose nightgown to wear, and then she got out of bed barefoot.

The floor was covered with a red cashmere carpet, and Xiao Yeyang, watching Daohua’s white jade-like delicate feet step onto it, thought of the slippery touch in his hands and immediately felt his mouth go dry and his tongue thristy until Daohua entered the Clean Room and he finally withdrew his gaze.

Guessing that Daohua would still need some time to finish bathing and dressing, Xiao Yeyang practiced his boxing in the courtyard for a while, working up a sweat before heading back inside. freewebnøvel.coɱ

By this time, Daohua had finished washing up and was sitting in front of the dressing table doing her hair and makeup.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and approached, silently watching Daohua as she put her hair up into a lady’s hairdo.

Daohua saw him standing there foolishly through the mirror and couldn’t help but glare at him, "Aren’t you going to wash up quickly?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang smiled and then entered the Clean Room, with De Fu hurrying in after him to attend to him.

Before long, Xiao Yeyang came out dressed in a festive red robe.

The clothes were made by Daohua herself, and today she wore a dress that matched the fabric and pattern of Xiao Yeyang’s outfit, making it clear even to those who didn’t know their status that the two were a pair.

Since they had to attend the tea ceremony for the Prince and then enter the palace, Daohua dressed more lavishly and elegantly.

"Today’s attire really is somewhat different from usual," Xiao Yeyang said, his hands on Daohua’s shoulders, inspecting her closely.

Daohua asked with a smile, "Which one do you like then?"

Xiao Yeyang chuckled, "As long as it’s you, I like it all."

Hearing this, Daohua couldn’t help but glare coyly at Xiao Yeyang.

Her face was a picture of spring, with every glance exuding charm.

Xiao Yeyang felt his heart heat up with desire and, taking Daohua’s hand, he couldn’t resist caressing it a few times.

"Miss, young master," called out Bi Shi, "it’s time to eat!"

In the outer room, Bi Shi had already set the breakfast.

Xiao Yeyang led Daohua out and personally served her a bowl of black rice porridge, then turned to De Fu, "Go to Pingxi Hall and tell Father, we’ll be there soon to pay our respects with tea."

...

Pingxi Hall.

The Princess Consort of the Ma Family, as well as the two side consorts and four concubines of the Prince, were all waiting in the main hall, having earned their places there because they had each borne children for the Prince.

The Prince’s progeny were plentiful, with a total of three sons and five daughters.

The Princess Consort from the Ma Family bore the eldest son, Xiao Yechen.

Jiang side consort gave birth to the eldest illegitimate daughter, Xiao Yuhua, and her position as a side consort owed much to the support of the Jiang Family.

Ji side consort gave birth to an illegitimate son, Xiao Yechang, who was promoted to side consort after the Ma Family’s Princess Consort was made official. This mother and son were particularly quiet in the Prince Residence, with Xiao Yechang living up to his name as quiet and ordinary, both in looks and learning.

The other four selected attendants each bore a daughter.

At this moment, Xiao Yechen and the rest of the children had all arrived.

Everyone was waiting for Xiao Yeyang and Daohua to come over for the tea ceremony.

The Princess Consort of the Ma Family, having finished a cup of tea, grew irritated at their absence, "This girl from a humble family really doesn’t understand the rules. What time is it, and they’re still not here."

Sitting below, Luo Qiong caught the look of disdain in the eyes of Jiang side consort and others but showed no reaction.

She had become numb to her mother-in-law’s comments, apparently forgetting that the Ma Family also came from humble beginnings. In scolding her younger brother and sister-in-law, she also included herself.

Jiang side consort, disdaining the Ma Family’s Princess Consort who was inferior in every way, sneered, "Why get angry, sister? The Prince hasn’t arrived yet either, has he? What’s the harm in waiting a bit more?"

The Princess Consort of the Ma Family gave Jiang side consort a sidelong glance, anger and hatred stirring in her heart at being overlooked, but considering the Empress Dowager in the palace and the Jiang Family, she ultimately did not argue.

Xiao Yuhua, growing impatient, said to the Princess Consort, "Mother, why don’t you send someone to hurry my second brother and his wife? It’s not right for all of us to be waiting like this."

The Princess Consort of the Ma Family scoffed, "I wouldn’t dare to summon your second brother."

At this, Xiao Yuhua immediately let out a scornful laugh.

Hearing the laughter, Xiao Yechen looked over.

Although Xiao Yuhua was not afraid of her elder brother Xiao Yechen, she knew the Prince Residence title might one day be his, so she didn’t dare to go too far. She understood that, after her marriage, her brothers would be her support—not necessarily the Jiang Family.

Xiao Yechen looked away, playing with his teacup, deep in thought.

Not much later, the Prince arrived after watering flowers.

The Princess Consort immediately complained, "Prince, you’ve finally come. Look for yourself, Xiao Yeyang and his wife haven’t even arrived. It’s one thing for us to wait, but it’s too much for them not to consider you too."

The Prince, not overly concerned, smiled, "Don’t worry, Xiao Yeyang has sent someone to inform me; they will be here soon."

Jiang Concubine had also intended to curry favor, but upon witnessing Prince Pingxi’s demeanor, she immediately shut her mouth and said no more.

On the other side, Xiao Yeyang had left Pingxi Hall with Daohua and was heading towards Pingxi Hall.

Along the way, Daohua asked Xiao Yeyang in detail about the character of each person in the Prince Residence. Although she had some understanding of the people in the Residence before marrying into the family, it wasn’t very specific.

Xiao Yeyang took Daohua’s hand and looked at her, saying, "In this Prince Residence, apart from Father, you need not concern yourself with anyone else. If they dare provoke you, you can just retaliate. I will back you up in everything."

Daohua smiled at the domineering Xiao Yeyang, "I know you’re impressive, but I can’t rely on you for everything. After all, we’re one family. While I can disregard them, for Father’s sake, it’s best not to let our relationship with them become too strained."

Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a moment, "There are many people in the Prince Residence, and with that, many conflicts. If you ever feel aggrieved, you must never endure in silence."

Daohua laughed, tilting her head to ask, "Do you think I’m someone who would suffer in silence?"

Xiao Yeyang laughed as well, playfully teasing Daohua’s nose, "My Princess Consort is the most formidable."

As they spoke, the two arrived at Pingxi Hall.

The people in the hall perked up when they saw the couple entering hand in hand.

Elegant gentlemen, beautiful ladies, decorated walls, and connected pearls.

Even though the people present had various conflicts and contradictions with Xiao Yeyang, either directly or indirectly, they had to admit that this newlywed couple was damn pleasing to the eye.

Prince Pingxi watched them with a chuckling delight, his eyes filled with satisfaction and joy.

Xiao Yeyang led Daohua into the grand hall.

Seeing the tight grasp of the couple’s hands, Jiang Concubine covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Prince, look, Yeyang and his bride are quite affectionate."

Her words seemed to be teasing, but in actuality, she was reminding Prince Pingxi and everyone else that the couple’s behavior was not dignified.

Daohua glanced at Jiang Concubine, then withdrew her hand and smiled beamingly at Prince Pingxi.

Huai En promptly brought over a cushion, placing it before Prince Pingxi.

Daohua walked over with a smile, took the teacup offered by Huai En, knelt before Prince Pingxi, and with a radiant smile said, "Father, please have some tea."

Her voice was crisp and clear.

Prince Pingxi listened with pleasure, laughing as he took a big sip of the tea and then presented a prepared gift of welcome, a pair of Hetian Jade Mandarin Duck Jade Pendants.

"One for you and one for Yeyang."

Daohua took the Jade Pendants with a smile, "Thank you, Father."

Xiao Yechen and Luo Qiong looked at the Mandarin Duck Jade Pendants, their eyes shimmering slightly.

Previously, when Luo Qiong offered tea, Prince Pingxi had also given a Jade Pendant, but only one, and in both quality and significance, it was significantly less impressive.

While others took malicious delight, their understanding of Xiao Yeyang’s standing in Prince Pingxi’s heart deepened.

The past rumors that Prince Pingxi disliked his son Xiao Yeyang not only deceived outsiders, but even they within the Residence had been fooled.

Princess Consort Ma, upon seeing the gift that Prince Pingxi gave to Daohua was much more valuable than what Luo Qiong had received, felt quite displeased. However, seeing Daohua rise to her feet, she immediately sat up straight, waiting for her to come over to offer tea.

The gift she had prepared was a deluxe edition of female precepts.

Unfortunately, as Daohua stood up, she simply sat down next to Xiao Yeyang, without any intention of offering tea to Princess Consort Ma.

Upon witnessing this, the people present immediately displayed expressions of anticipating a good show.

Princess Consort Ma was stunned for a while before she snapped back to reality. Seeing Daohua happily discussing the Mandarin Duck Jade Pendants with Xiao Yeyang, completely disregarding her, filled her with rage, and unable to hold back, she slapped the table with a loud smack.

Instantly, all eyes turned towards Princess Consort Ma.

Prince Pingxi looked at her disapprovingly, "What are you doing?"

Princess Consort Ma, struggling to contain her anger, pointed at Daohua, "Prince, shouldn’t Yeyang’s bride offer me tea?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s face darkened instantly, and as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Daohua’s hand.

Daohua shook her head at Xiao Yeyang, then, with her black, sparkling eyes, looked towards Prince Pingxi, "Father~"

As Prince Pingxi followed Daohua’s pleading gaze, a realization flashed in his mind; he seemed to remember promising her that she didn’t need to offer tea to the Ma family.

Prince Pingxi glanced at Princess Consort Ma and cleared his throat lightly, "Well, you’re not Yeyang’s mother, so Daohua won’t offer you tea."

At these words, everyone was stunned.

Princess Consort Ma was especially incredulous.

A new bride not offering tea to her, the principal wife; what did that make her?

Prince Pingxi also felt that this was a bit too much of a slap in the face for the Ma family, and without making eye contact with her, he smiled and changed the subject, "Now, Yeyang, why don’t you introduce the rest of the Residence’s people to Daohua?"

This time, Xiao Yeyang complied quite readily, introducing everyone in the Residence to Daohua in detail.
