Ye Li nodded. There was nothing indecent about the names. Ye Li wasn't in the mood to change their names. Her gaze fell on the last two girls she had chosen. "Xue Yan, where did you serve before? I don't think I've seen you before. " The girl named Xue Yan looked calm and composed. She bowed to Ye Li and said, "Third Miss, this servant was originally a second-ranked girl in the old lady's courtyard. Naturally, Third Miss has never seen me before. " Ye Li smiled and said, "You don't look like you're indecent. Since that's the case, you can serve me like Qing Shuang."
Serving by the master's side was the head maidservant. Xue Yan was slightly surprised by Ye Li's promotion, but she wasn't surprised to the point of being rude. "Thank you, Third Miss. This servant will serve Miss with all my heart. Please give this servant a name, Miss. " Usually, the head maidservants serving by the master's side would be given a name by the master. Even if it was a favor, it meant that the maidservant had nothing to do with the previous people and was only loyal to the current master. Ye Li raised her eyebrows and pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's call you Qing Xia."
"Qing Xia thanks Miss for your grace." After bowing, Qing Xia stood respectfully to the side.
"Han Qing … do you know embroidery?" Ye Li asked.
A trace of arrogance flashed through Han Qing's eyes. She said crisply, "Of course I do. This servant's embroidery is one of the best in this manor. "
Ye Li seemed satisfied with her answer and nodded. "Very good. Since that's the case, you can serve on the needlework."
"Reporting to Miss, this servant is not an embroiderer!" Han Qing's expression changed. She glared at Ye Li and gritted her teeth.
"Impudent! How dare you refute Miss's words! "Qing Shuang angrily rebuked.
Ye Li didn't get angry. She nodded and smiled. "I know you're not an embroiderer. If there's something important, I won't let you do it." It wasn't easy to be an embroiderer. Which outstanding embroiderer didn't have at least ten years of experience? No matter how he looked at it, this person called Han Qing didn't seem like someone who could be content with her lot in needlework.
Han Qing's pretty face was red with anger as she glared at Ye Li. How could Ye Li put her in her eyes? She stood up and said to her with a smile, "I might be a little busy these days. If you can't handle it, you can go find the manager. When she went to the Ding King's residence, there would naturally be more people sewing. Also … change your name. Let's call her … Jingwen. "
"Thank you, Third Miss. This servant is very satisfied with her name!" Han Qing said with a red face.
Frost sneered and said, "Impudent! So what if you're satisfied? Our Miss is not satisfied. " This girl had such a seductive face and such a frivolous name. Did she think that Qing Yi Xuan was a brothel? Qing Shuang still couldn't understand why Miss would choose such a person.
"Change your name, or leave my Qing Yi Xuan. Or … should you go back and ask your former master? "
Han Qing's face changed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, Miss, for giving me a name."
Ye Li's eyes swept over her and no longer looked at her. "Since you've entered my Qing Yi Xuan, as long as you know your place, I'm not a person who likes to make things difficult for others. If you have any other thoughts, you'd better leave as soon as possible. Otherwise … the people who were beaten outside Rongle Hall a few days ago are your examples. Frost and Frost will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. The rest will be given five taels of silver each. "
"Yes, Miss."
"Thank you, Miss!" Everyone hurriedly thanked her. For these little girls who had less than one tael of silver each month, five taels of silver was a number that couldn't be laughed at. Although there was some disdain in Han Qing's eyes, she also knew that now was not the time to provoke Ye Li. She also thanked her.
Leaving Frost to deal with the aftermath, Ye Li turned around and was about to return to her room when the housekeeper's voice came from outside the courtyard. "Third Miss, Concubine Xian Zhao wants to see you."
Concubine Xian Zhao was the current mistress of Prince Li's Mansion, but she was not the biological mother of Prince Li, Mo Jingli. Mo Jingli and the current Emperor were both born of the Empress Dowager. Concubine Xian Zhao was the Empress Dowager's cousin. These two entered the palace at about the same time, but they didn't fight openly and secretly like other concubines. On the contrary, they protected each other for a lifetime. Concubine Xian Zhao originally had a daughter, Princess Lin 'an, who was married to the Defender-general of the State a few years ago. Concubine Xian Zhao was taken out of the palace by Prince Li. In fact, the Empress Dowager was worried about her youngest son living alone outside the palace, so she asked Concubine Xian Zhao to take care of him.
Ye Li changed her clothes and followed the housekeeper's wife to Old Madame Ye's Rongle Hall. When she arrived, it was a harmonious scene. Old Madame Ye sat with Concubine Xian Zhao, and Wang Shi naturally brought Ye Ying to accompany them. In addition, there were a few noble women who looked like the wives of the Empress Dowager. What surprised Ye Li the most was that Mo Jingli was also sitting next to Concubine Xian Zhao. Ye Li was stunned for a moment before she remembered that this world was not as strict as the ancient world she heard in her previous life. There was no rule that men and women could not see each other before marriage. Of course, if a young lady from a noble family wanted to meet her fiancé, she still had to be accompanied by her maidservants. If not, how could Ye Ying have the opportunity to hook up with Mo Jingli?
"This subject's daughter pays respect to Concubine Xian Zhao and His Highness Prince Li. Greetings to Grandmother. This junior greets the Madame. "
The noble woman sitting on the first seat had a noble temperament and was quite dignified. A pair of phoenix eyes were slightly raised. Although she was old, there was not a single frown on her well-maintained face. This Concubine Xian Zhao was not the most beautiful, but she had a noble temperament that made people unable to help but linger.
"Old Madame, this is the third young lady?" Concubine Xian Zhao looked at Ye Li and asked Old Madame Ye.
Old Madame Ye smiled apologetically and said, "Replying to Concubine Xian Zhao, this is my third young lady."
Concubine Xian Zhao nodded and said with a smile, "She is a good child, but it's a pity … Our Li 'er is not blessed." Concubine Xian Zhao pulled Ye Li to the front and praised her. She took off an ice-type jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Ye Li's wrist. Ye Ying, who was standing next to Wang Shi, suddenly felt her eyes darken. Ye Li did not dare to accept Concubine Xian Zhao's bracelet and quickly declined, "Thank you for your praise, Concubine Xian Zhao. It's only appropriate for Concubine Xian Zhao to wear such a precious thing. Ye Li does not dare to accept Concubine Xian Zhao's gift." Concubine Xian Zhao stopped Ye Li's hand that wanted to take off the bracelet and pretended to be angry, "You little girl, do you dislike my bracelet? This bracelet was given to me by the late Emperor. I'm old, and it looks good on you young people. I'm happy. "She said that it was a gift from the late Emperor. If she refused again, wouldn't she dislike the late Emperor's things? Ye Li gave up and bowed with a smile, "Thank you for your gift, Concubine Xian Zhao. I will definitely keep Concubine Xian Zhao's gift carefully."
Concubine Xian Zhao seemed to be very satisfied with Ye Li's performance. She nodded with a smile and let go of Ye Li. Ye Li then walked behind Wang Shi obediently and stood side by side with Ye Ying.
Several madams who came with Concubine Xian Zhao were surprised to see Ye Li. Third Young Miss Ye's reputation in the capital could be said to be as famous as the number one beauty, Ye Ying. However, one was talented, beautiful, and virtuous, while the other was not talented, beautiful, or virtuous. It was hard to believe that they were a family. However, this Third Young Miss Ye was also a strange person. She rarely attended the gatherings of the young ladies in the capital. To outsiders, it was said that Third Young Miss Ye's health had been poor ever since the death of the First Madam of the Ye family. Today, seeing Third Young Miss Ye's elegant appearance, elegant speech, and proper manners, it vaguely reminded people of Madam Ye, who came from the famous Xu Family. How could such a woman be rumored to be so unbearable? Not only did she lose such a good marriage with Prince Li, but she was also betrothed to Prince Ding. Her life was ruined.
