Chapter 325 Pomp

 By the time Daohua had washed and dressed, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning.

Daohua had a few mouthfuls of rice, then took Dong Yuanyao and the Li brothers and sisters out.

"My aunts, you have finally come out!"

As soon as Daohua and the others walked out of the gate, Yan Wenkai jumped off the horse and walked quickly to Daohua: "Why did it take so long?"

"I woke up late." Daohua explained briefly, then looked around and saw her three brothers and Brother Dong were there, but she didn't see Xiao Yeyang.

Daohua frowned slightly, but she quickly put it away and said with an apologetic smile: "I didn't know you were here too, so I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

Dong Yuanxuan led the horse over and said with a smile: "It's okay, we have just arrived..."

"Just arrived?"

Yan Wenkai looked at Dong Yuanxuan in disbelief: "We have been waiting for almost half an hour, you said we just arrived? If I had known that I would have to wait outside for so long, I would have entered the house."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yan Wenkai speechless.

Yan Wenkai felt uncomfortable being looked at by everyone, especially when he saw his sister staring angrily at him, so he backed away and said with a smile as he backed away: "Since everyone has come out, let's go.



Dong Yuanyao covered her mouth with one hand and held Daohua with the other hand towards the carriage.

"Hahaha~"

After getting on the carriage, Dong Yuanyao stopped holding back and burst out laughing: "Yi Yi, I found that your fourth brother is really a living treasure, so funny."

Li Zixuan and Li Zixin were also laughing.

Daohua glanced at Dong Yuanyao: "Living treasure? I gave it to you, do you want it?"

The smile on Dong Yuanyao's face suddenly disappeared, and he shook his head very simply: "Forget it, I can't bear it, I'll leave it to you."

The group of people went straight to Wangyangkou.

By the time they arrived, Wangyangkou was already crowded with people, and the shouts were loud.

The dragon boat race has begun, and the people watching are cheering for their favorite dragon boat.

"So many people?!"

Looking at the crowds of people, Daohua was a little intimidated. She liked the excitement, but she didn't like overly crowded situations.

After getting off the carriage, Daohua stood on tiptoes and looked around. Everything she could see were human heads.

"Let's go!"

Dong Yuanyao pulled Daohua, and under the leadership of Dong Yuanxuan, walked straight towards the observation deck where there were few people.

The observation deck is built on the river embankment. There is one every few meters. Each one is about 20 to 30 square meters in size. There are tables and chairs on it. The closer to the match point, the more popular the observation deck is.

These observation decks are controlled by the government and are rented out at high prices to dignitaries who come to watch the dragon boat races. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the government will make a lot of money.

After wandering among the crowd for a while, Daohua and his party arrived at a viewing platform relatively close to the front.

At this moment, the observation deck on their lower left was almost occupied, but there were still many empty seats on the upper right.

Seeing Daohua staring at the empty observation decks, Dong Yuanyao sneered: "Big shots always arrive last."

Daohua smiled and nodded: "Aren't uncles and aunts coming to watch the dragon boat race?"

Dong Yuanyao curled her lips and said: "Come, of course we are coming, and there will be many people following us."

Daohua touched Dong Yuanyao with her hand: "Why do you speak in this tone?"

Dong Yuanyao tilted his head to Daohua's ear and whispered: "Including this year, my father has been the chief envoy in Zhongzhou for five years and has never been high-profile in public."

"But who would have thought that now a Chiang Kai-shek came to participate in politics, and as soon as he arrived, in front of all the officials, he encouraged my father to bring everyone over to watch the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival."

"You don't even know. When my mother found out, she was so angry that she broke her favorite glass tea set. My grandmother was also so angry that she drank porridge for three days in a row."

"My father was sent as the chief envoy to Zhongzhou. He has been very cautious these years. He was afraid that his political opponents would seize the opportunity and get involved in the emperor's presence, leaving a bad impression on the emperor."

"I kept a low profile for four or five years. Now I'm fine. Everything has been destroyed."

As if to confirm Dong Yuanyao's words, suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd. Daohua looked back and saw a group of officials in official uniforms strolling over, talking and laughing happily.

Among those walking at the front were Dong Yuanyao’s father, Ambassador Dong.

Behind the officials, there were also a group of female relatives in rich and colorful clothes, either holding a round fan or waving a brocade handkerchief, talking, laughing, and walking gracefully.

As soon as this group of people arrived, the crowded crowd immediately made way for them to pass through a wide avenue.

The officials occupied the first few observation decks according to their rank, and the later ones were for female relatives.

As soon as these people sat down, the best sightseeing platform was already occupied.

No, there is still one empty.

The view is the best, and the one closest to the plug point is still empty.

Daohua didn't look any further, quickly retracted her gaze, and said lightly: "The ostentation is so grand."

When Dong Yuanyao saw Mrs. Jiang directly passed her mother and sat in the middle seat on the fifth observation deck, she immediately snorted coldly: "The ostentation is not big, how can we support this person's dignity?"

Her father is the chief envoy, the highest official in the province. A wife is honored by her husband, so her mother should sit in the middle position. Mrs. Chiang is just a political lady. Relying on the power of the Queen Mother and the Empress, she does not put people in her place.

In the eyes.

Damn, disgusting!

Daohua patted Dong Yuanyao's hand: "Let's watch the next game. Do you know any dragon boats? Let's cheer for it."

Dong Yuanyao stopped paying attention to her parents' affairs and just turned her attention to the dragon boat on the river below. Unexpectedly, there was another commotion in the crowd.

"Who is it this time?"

Daohua turned her head curiously, and then her expression froze.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Xiao Yeyang, wearing a jade crown and an indigo robe, strolled over with a folding fan in his hand. His handsome face was filled with innate nobility. With every move he made, he showed the pride of the royal family.

The dignity and nobility are undoubtedly revealed.

Behind him, followed a beautiful girl with a charming smile and a weak willow.

The girl seemed unable to walk too fast, so with a slight change, Xiao Yeyang, who was walking in front, would stop and wait for her, and then the two of them would walk side by side again.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing Daohua staring blankly at the young prince and Jiang Wanying, Dong Yuanyao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes a few times.

Daohua came back to her senses and glanced at Xiao Yeyang again, who was looking down at the girl without knowing what he was talking about. She quickly retracted her gaze and said calmly: "What can happen to me? It's just that seeing Xiao Yeyang's high-profile appearance, some

Just surprised."

After saying that, he paused and asked as if he had no intention of doing so.

"Who is the girl next to Xiao Yeyang?"

Dong Yuanyao: "Jiang Wanying, the apple of Chiang Kai-shek's eye, the young prince's cousin." He looked at the rice flowers, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I grew up with the young prince in the Queen Mother's Palace."
