Chapter 263 The Complex Royal Family(1/2)
After dinner, Dong Yuanyao took Daohua back to his yard.
At this time, the maid had prepared toiletries and a change of clothes.
"We have similar body shapes. You can wear my clothes later. Don't worry, they are all newly made."
Daohua smiled: "I don't dislike you."
Dong Yuanyao snorted, but with a smile on her face. She liked Yan Yiyi's rudeness. Since she had recognized Yan Yiyi as a sister, she naturally didn't want her to be polite to her.
She often received ladies from other families, but these ladies were either too reserved or pretentious. She was exhausted after each reception.
Yan Yi is very good like this, direct and clear, and generous.
"Girl, the bath water is ready. You can change your clothes and take a bath."
Dong Yuanyao looked at the bathing room, rolled his eyes, and suddenly became teasing. He looked at Daohua with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "Together?"
Daohua said, "Okay, let's wash it together so that the maid doesn't have to go back and forth."
Seeing Daohua walking into the ear room quickly and swiftly, Dong Yuanyao stood still.
Can she say that she is just talking?
She has never experienced taking a shower with others!
Why is this Yan Yiyi not ashamed at all?
Daohua stretched her head and looked inside the penthouse, and saw that the maids had prepared two bathtubs. She suddenly felt confident, turned around and looked at Dong Yuanyao, who was motionless, crossed her arms and said with a smile: "What, you don't dare anymore?
”
Dong Yuanyao's face turned stiff. She loved to play and make trouble, but she was still a little uncomfortable taking off her clothes in front of others. She wanted to give in, but when she saw Yan Yiyi's provocative eyes, her head became hot and she shouted: "Who
I don’t dare anymore.”
Daohua smiled: "Then why don't you hurry up." After saying that, she walked into the penthouse.
Wang Man'er immediately followed her, and when she passed by Dong Yuanyao, she lowered her head and covered her mouth with a smile.
Is Miss Dong dumbfounded now?
Her girl never plays her cards according to common sense.
The wing room was very large. After Daohua came in, she asked Wang Maner to move the clothes hanger between the two bathtubs. After seeing the change of clothes prepared by the Dong family's maid, she began to take off her clothes.
Wang Maner placed all the toiletries and the personal clothes he brought with him, and then quickly left the ear room, and also brought out the Dong family's maid.
When Wang Man'er and others came out, Dong Yuanyao was still hesitating: "Why did you come out?"
Wang Maner smiled and said: "Miss Dong, my girl never needs help when taking a bath."
Dong Yuanyao hesitated for a while, and finally came to the front room: "Yi Yi, I'm coming in."
Daohua had already soaked in the tub, and immediately smiled and said: "Come in, if you don't come in, I should have finished washing."
Dong Yuanyao then stepped into the ear room and smiled immediately when he saw the clothes hanger between the bathtubs.
She almost thought that Yan Yiyi was not ashamed at all, but it turned out that she was just shouting a lot.
He immediately summoned a maid to change his clothes.
While playing with the water, Daohua said: "I have used your bath beans and they are not bad. However, I have special shower gel for bathing. When I get home, I will send you some. That one is better."
Moisturize."
Dong Yuanyao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, the rouge and gouache you gave me before is much easier to use than the ones bought outside. I asked, why did you even think of tinkering with these things?"
Daohua said casually: "If you have that need, you will naturally find a way to solve it."
Dong Yuanyao: "You are so smart."
Daohua smiled and said nothing.
It’s not that she is smart, she has borrowed the wisdom of modern people, which is nothing in modern times.
At this time, Dong Yuanyao also soaked in the tub and sent out the maid who was serving her: "It's so comfortable!" She said with a smile, "Fortunately you are here, otherwise, I would definitely be punished today.
I can’t run away. Didn’t you see that my mother was still scratching me with a knife during dinner?"
Daohua: "But after we leave, my aunt will punish you, and you won't be able to run away."
Dong Yuanyao said proudly: "With my grandmother protecting me, my mother can at most punish me with thunder and rain, and there won't be any big problems."
Hearing this, Daohua immediately asked the doubts in her heart: "Why did the old lady come from the capital alone? Your grandfather and your uncle didn't stop them, so weren't they worried about any accidents on the way?
”
Dong Yuanyao curled his lips and said: "My grandfather may be worried a little, but my uncle, he won't be worried."
Daohua wondered: "Why?"
Dong Yuanyao didn't hide anything and said directly: "My uncle was born to the former wife, and my grandmother is just my grandfather's stepmother."
"Ah?" Daohua looked surprised.
She really didn't know this. She only heard Zhou Jingwan say that Dong Yuanyao's family came from the Yongjia Marquis Mansion in the capital, where Marquis Dong still built the house, and the eldest son was the eldest brother of Ambassador Dong Bu.
Dong Yuanyao continued: "When my grandmother married my grandfather, my uncle was already in his teens. At first, my grandmother thought about having a good relationship with my uncle, but my uncle was very wary of my grandmother, especially my father.
After he was born, he always felt that my grandmother would harm him."
"As a junior, I can't say much about their relationship. Anyway, they have always been indifferent. My grandmother came out this time. In addition to worrying about me and my brother, she also wanted to relax."<
/p>
"Now my eldest aunt is in charge of the Hou Mansion. Although my grandmother is the mother-in-law, she is the successor after all. It is not easy to take care of many things. When my father was away from home before, he wanted my grandmother to come with him. I just took care of it.
My grandfather didn't come with me."
"This time my brother and I were trapped in Xingyun Mansion, which gave my grandmother a chance. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to travel far with my grandfather here."
Daohua: "...Your family is a bit complicated too!"
Dong Yuanyao smiled: "Our family is pretty good. Although my uncle has inherited the title of Marquis, my father is also capable. He is not bad at finding a job and being released."

"Like other noble families in the capital, they have many heirs and have little ability. Everyone is focused on the title and fights like a black-eyed chicken all day long. Such a family is called a bad thing."<
/p>
Daohua thought for a while and asked curiously: "Where is Prince Ping's Mansion?"
Dong Yuanyao paused: "...As for the royal family, the relationship is naturally more complicated."
Daohua lay on the edge of the tub: "Tell me, Xiao Yeyang would rather stay away than go home. Isn't Prince Ping's Mansion particularly terrible?"
Dong Yuanyao was silent for a while: "It's okay to tell you, but you can't tell others. After all, it's a royal matter and we don't want to talk about it."
Daohua nodded quickly.
Dong Yuanyao: "Every established family in the capital knows about the affairs of Prince Ping's Mansion. The reason why the young prince is unwilling to go home is not only because of Concubine Ma's mother and son, but also because his biological mother, the former Princess Guo, is the daughter of Prince Heping and Princess Guo.
Divorced."
Daohua's eyes suddenly widened and she said in shock: "Xiao Yeyang's mother divorced his father?!"
Dong Yuanyao nodded: "Not bad."
Daohua was stunned for a while, swallowed her saliva, and exclaimed: "Xiao Yeyang's mother is a great person!" Dare to reconcile with the royal prince without saying anything else, this courage is enough to be admired.
Dong Yuanyao: "Yes, every time my mother mentions Princess Qian Guo, she admires her so much. She says that there is almost no woman in the world who is as determined and courageous as her."
"However, Princess Guo also has this confidence, and the Dingguo Palace does not need to rely on Prince Ping's marriage."
"The men of the Guo family have been guarding the border for generations, and it was only in Governor Guo's generation that they gradually stepped back. But even so, the Guo family is still highly valued by the emperor. Governor Guo is in charge of the military affairs of the three northern provinces and was personally appointed by the emperor."
"My mother often said that a woman's greatest confidence comes from her mother's family. As long as her mother's family is strong, even if she marries into the royal family, she can be content without any grievances."
Daohua nodded. This was true in ancient times. The natal family was really important to a married woman. She was silent for a moment and then asked, "Why did Xiao Yeyang's parents want to divorce?"
Dong Yuanyao: "Do you know the play Ji Husband?"
Daohua nodded.
Dong Yuanyao: "I don't know the specific reasons why Princess Guo and Prince Ping divorced. However, it should be similar to what was mentioned in the Diary of the Husband. The young prince has a concubine who is two years older than him."
Daohua's face showed a sudden realization: "No wonder Xiao Yeyang got so angry when he heard the play "Xiu Husband".
Dong Yuanyao: "As long as you know these things, don't mention them in front of the young prince. The former Princess Guo is taboo in his place."
Daohua sighed: "Poor Xiao Yeyang."
My mother left home and my father didn't care. No wonder she was kidnapped by traffickers and brought to Zhongzhou.
Dong Yuanyao agreed: "However, the emperor still loves the young prince very much."
Daohua asked quickly: "Where is the Queen Mother? Didn't she say that the Queen Mother was also very good to Xiao Yeyang?"
Dong Yuanyao hesitated for a moment: "How should I put it? The Queen Mother was indeed very kind to the young prince, but she was also very kind to the son born to Concubine Ma, and she loved the daughter born to Concubine Jiang even more."
Daohua was silent: "Prince Ping has so many concubines?"
Dong Yuanyao: "Not too many, just two. Concubine Ma was adopted by Prince Ping himself, and Concubine Jiang is the daughter of the Queen Mother's natal family. After the former Princess Guo left, Prince Ping's main concubine has been vacant."
