Chapter 955: Chapter 810: The Environment Shapes People

After everyone had finished offering their New Year’s greetings, Huai En led the servants in a procession, placing a steaming hot bowl of dumplings in front of Daohua and the others.

The Prince Residence’s first meal began with the Prince picking up his chopsticks, followed by everyone else starting to eat.

"Ah!"

Daohua bit into something hard on her first bite of dumpling and couldn’t resist making a noise.

Everyone looked over in her direction.

Seeing the gold ingot the size of a thumb in Daohua’s spoon, Princess Consort Ma humphed almost imperceptibly. The Prince, however, smiled and said, "Yan girl must have exceptional luck this year."

Daohua’s eyes crinkled with a smile as she looked expectantly at Xiao Yeyang, "Hurry up and eat, see if you can get one too."

Xiao Yeyang laughed and devoured his dumplings, one after another, until the very last one, from which he spit out a gold ingot.

Seeing this, Daohua, beaming with joy, wanted to tell the Prince, only to find that Xiao Yeyang, Xiao Yuhua, Xiao Yechang, and others had also found gold ingots in turn.

"Uh..."

The smile on Daohua’s face froze, "Seems everyone has a gold ingot in their bowl."

Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but chuckle, "It’s just a symbol of good fortune, in the entire house, you’re the luckiest. You were the first to find a gold ingot."

Daohua gave him a playful glare, bestowing an ’obviously’ look with her eyes.

Xiao Yeyang: "People from the Prince Residence will be visiting the palace later to offer New Year’s greetings. You’re injured, so there’s no need for you to go along. Go back to your room and have a good rest."

Daohua had no objections to this and quickly nodded in agreement.

After eating the dumplings, the Prince led the Residence’s people to the palace. After seeing them off, Daohua went straight back to the Pingxi Hall and promptly climbed into bed to sleep.

On the first day of the New Year, officials first pay their respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and then members of the Imperial Clan like Xiao Yeyang must accompany the Emperor in various sacrificial ceremonies. After the ceremonies, they must attend the grand clan banquet. By the time they returned to the Prince Residence, it was already dark.

"Has Yiyi been sleeping the whole time?"

Xiao Yeyang returned to his room and, seeing Daohua sleeping soundly on the bed, couldn’t resist asking Wang Manman.

Wang Manman replied with a smile, "Not the entire time. The young lady woke up at noon. After lunch, she heard that a troupe had been invited to the Residence, so she watched a few performances. Later, she sorted out the gifts to bring back to the Yan Family tomorrow. Not long before Young Master returned, she had a bowl of Blood Swallow Porridge and then went to sleep."

Xiao Yeyang nodded, got up to wash and freshen up in the Clean Room, and after he came out, he dismissed everyone from the room. He got into bed, carefully lying down next to Daohua and leaving a bit of distance so as not to touch her arm.

After a busy day at the palace, he too was exhausted and soon fell asleep.

...

The second day of the New Year is when married daughters return to their parents’ home.

Early in the morning, Wang Manman, along with Guyu and Lixia, busied themselves with preparations. Since Daohua had instructed that Mei Lan and Mei Ju should accompany them whenever they went out, they were also summoned to help pack.

After loading the gifts for the Yan Family onto the carriage, Wang Manman came to the screen in the inner chamber and reminded in a low voice, "Miss, it’s dawn. Time to get up."

Daohua did not respond, but Xiao Yeyang opened his eyes.

After a moment, Xiao Yeyang turned his head toward Daohua, who was cuddled up in the quilt with her cheeks flushed from sleep, and softly called, "Lazy pig, wake up."

Daohua hummed a few times, then stopped responding again.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang rolled to lie on his side, propped his head on one hand, and with the other, took a strand of Daohua’s hair to tickle her nose with the end of it.

"Mmm~"

Under Xiao Yeyang’s playful teasing, Daohua could no longer continue sleeping and opened her sleepy eyes to glare at him.

Xiao Yeyang pressed a kiss to Daohua’s red lips, "Alright, you have to visit your parents today." With that, he got out of bed, and in a moment, he returned with medicine in hand.

"Come on, let me apply the medicine first."

Seeing Daohua still dawdling, he directly threw back the blanket and reached to undo the buttons of her nightclothes.

Daohua allowed Xiao Yeyang to take off her nightgown, exposed in her chest wrap, and lay on the bed.

Noting Xiao Yeyang’s gaze wandering over her chest, Daohua huffed, "No peeking."

Xiao Yeyang chuckled, "How am I peeking? I’m looking quite openly, aren’t I?" As he spoke, he gently applied medicine to Daohua’s shoulder.

"Does it still hurt?"

Daohua: "It’s not as painful as yesterday."

Xiao Yeyang: "I’ve finally got some free time these days, I originally wanted to accompany you to the temple fair or something, but you’ve been injured, so now we can only stay at home and have fun."

Daohua hastily said: "I can still go to the temple fair now. I’ve injured my arm, not my legs."

Xiao Yeyang flatly refused: "No, during the New Year period, every part of Beijing is very lively, there are too many people. What if someone bumps into you?"

Seeing Xiao Yeyang’s unwavering demeanor, Daohua pouted, buried her head in the soft pillow, and ignored him.

But it didn’t take long before Daohua had to lift her head up again, fiercely batting away Xiao Yeyang’s teasing hand: "I want to get up, let go, don’t block me."

Xiao Yeyang leaned over with a smile: "Let me help my lady get dressed." Saying so, he got out of bed without further ado and fetched clothes for Daohua.

It wasn’t until around 9:00 AM that Daohua and Xiao Yeyang finished dressing up and came out for breakfast.

...

Yan Residence.

Han Xinran, Zhou Jingwan, and Su Shiyu, accompanied by their husbands, brought generous gifts and returned to their mother’s home early in the morning. Only Zhu Qiyun, whose mother’s house was not nearby, stayed at home with the elderly Mrs. Yan and others waiting for Daohua to return.

Mrs. Yan looked at Madam Li: "Have you made sure the kitchen has prepared those dishes Daohua likes to eat?"

Madam Li nodded with a smile: "Mother, rest assured, I personally supervised the cooks this morning."

Mrs. Yan nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked: "What about the dishes that Yeyang likes to eat?"

Madam Li smiled: "Those are also ready."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan felt relieved: "I just don’t know if Daohua is used to living in the Prince Residence, or if the Princess Consort will bully her?"

Madam Li thought of the incident on New Year’s Eve when her daughter nearly fell off the city wall trying to save the eldest son of the fourth prince, and couldn’t help but look less smiling, even though Yeyang sent word that very evening that their daughter only suffered an arm sprain and was otherwise alright, she was still worried.

Yan Zhigao saw that Madam Li did not answer and took over with a smile: "Mother, don’t worry. Yiyi has Yeyang’s protection. No one in the Prince Residence will dare to bully her."

Mrs. Yan’s frown did not fully relax: "Yeyang is usually busy with duties, he cannot always be there to protect Daohua."

Just as she finished speaking, a maid came in to report that Daohua and Xiao Yeyang had arrived.

Soon, everyone saw Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, smiling as they walked in.

"Grandmother, I’m back!"

Upon seeing Daohua with her arm in a sling, Mrs. Yan, without waiting for the young couple to greet her properly, hastily pulled Daohua close to inquire: "What happened to your hand?"

Daohua replied with a relaxed smile: "Grandmother, don’t worry, it’s just a strain, it’s nothing serious, will be fine in a few days."

Mrs. Yan disapproved: "How could you be so careless?" She immediately began to lecture, "You’re married now, you can’t be as lively as when you were single anymore, you need to take care of yourself."

While speaking, she glanced at Daohua’s belly. What if her granddaughter was like Jingwan and experienced a ’joyous event’ soon? What if jumping around caused harm to a child?

Daohua didn’t notice Mrs. Yan’s gaze: "Grandmother, I’m really healthy,"

Xiao Yeyang did notice, but he didn’t remind Daohua, smiling as he stepped forward to greet Yan Zhigao, Madam Li, as well as Yan Zhiqiang and the Wu Family.

Afterward, he also greeted Yan Wenjie, Zhu Qiyun, and Yan Yihuan with a smile.

Seeing the mother fussing over her daughter non-stop, and not having a chance to interject, Yan Zhigao and Madam Li turned their attention to Xiao Yeyang, asking about Daohua’s wellbeing in the Prince Residence.

Learning that the young couple had their kitchen fire independently and were not under the Princess Consort’s jurisdiction, Yan Zhigao and Madam Li’s smiles deepened.

Although they did not know much about the Princess Consort, this person forced the Prince and Yeyang’s birth mother apart—obviously a formidable operator. Both parents did not want their daughter to have too much contact with her, fearing she might be bullied.

Xiao Yeyang had just finished dealing with his parents-in-law, and Mrs. Yan had almost finished speaking with Daohua. She was then invited to ask a flurry of questions until almost midday, by which time they had all managed to please the elders.

Before dinner, Daohua had Wang Manman bring out the gifts they had brought for the family, and according to the labeled tags, handed them out one by one to everyone.

Looking at the fine agarwood in her hand, as well as her husband’s set of famous inkstone and ink sticks, Zhu Qiyun then glanced at the original painting by a master artist from the previous dynasty in the hands of her uncle, the jade Buddha in her grandmother’s hands, her heart was filled with emotion.

She was almost aware of the gifts her sister-in-law and younger brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law brought back home. She thought they were already quite generous, but now comparing them to what her eldest sister-in-law brought, they immediately seemed a notch lower.

Indeed, marrying into the Imperial Family was different. In just over a month, the eldest sister-in-law had an air of nobility about her every gesture.

Environment really does make the person!
