Sure enough, Wang Shi quickly sent over the clothes and jewelry that she had prepared for Ye Li. Ye Li did not get angry when she saw the arrogant expressions of the nanny and maidservant who came to deliver the things. She just casually swept her eyes over the things on the table and looked at them with a smile that was not a smile. She casually ordered the maidservant beside her, "Qing Xia, put away the things."
Seeing Ye Li's casual and indifferent appearance, the maidservant holding the box of jewelry was dissatisfied. She raised her chin and looked at Ye Li, "Third young miss, this is something that our madam specially prepared for you." Ye Li blinked her clear and indifferent eyes and looked at her with a smile. Her tone was gentle as she said, "I know. Is there anything else?" The maidservant was stunned. She was Wang shi's most favored maidservant. Who in the fu was not polite to her? She didn't know what was wrong with the third young miss. Although she sounded very polite when speaking to her, it was especially grating when it entered her ears. Thinking of Wang shi's orders, she gathered her courage and said, "Madam ordered that on the day of the Hundred Flower Festival, third young miss must wear the clothes and jewelry madam made. Otherwise, people would think that the young miss of the minister's fu does not have any new clothes."
"Must?" Ye Li half leaned against the back of the chair, her right hand lazily supporting her chin. She looked indifferently at the arrogant maidservant in front of her, "You're called Cui Zhu?"
"Replying to third young miss, this servant is Cui Zhu." For some reason, the maidservant called Cui Zhu suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Looking at the lazy but elegant young girl in front of her, she said with some unease.
"Are you sure ….. madam told you that I must wear these clothes?" Ye Li asked indifferently.
Cui Zhu hesitated for a moment, but still firmly replied, "Yes. This is something madam specially prepared for third young miss. Does third young miss want to go against madam's painstaking efforts? "Ye Li looked at the pretty but arrogant maidservant in front of her and suddenly smiled. She reached out her slender fingers and picked up a piece of cloth from the box on the table. She casually said, "This kind of goods ….. will it be better than wearing old clothes?"
The clothes in the brocade box were indeed new clothes, and they were made of expensive cloud brocade. However, with the magnificent colors and rigid style, if she really wore it, others would think that she wasn't going to attend a gathering of noble maidens in the capital, but that she couldn't wait to get married. Did Wang Shi really think that she didn't know anything just because she didn't attend gatherings all these years? This kind of bright red color and complicated intertwining patterns would only make Zhao Yang Eldest Princess, who was hosting the banquet, unhappy. It would also make the noble ladies of the capital look down on her.
"Third Miss! You … How dare you … "Cui Zhu's eyes widened. She didn't expect the silent Third Miss to say such bold words. The people who came with her also looked shocked and dissatisfied.
"Since it was specially prepared by Madam, you can take these back to Fourth Sister. She told her to use these if she could go, so as not to waste the madam's good intentions. As for me ….. I think the madam doesn't know what I like, so you don't need to worry about it. "Ye Li said indifferently as she put the clothes back into the box. Cui Zhu's face flashed a trace of anger. She reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "The madam has already prepared it for Fourth Miss. This is for Third Miss."
"Miss." Qing Shuang, who was standing behind Ye Li, laughed and said, "Miss, since the madam has prepared it, it's not good for you to refuse. If you don't like it, it's better to give it to this servant. "
Ye Li looked back at Qing Shuang and nodded with a smile, "Have I treated you badly? Fine, you guys can pick whatever you like. "
Qing Shuang didn't refuse. She went forward and picked out a pair of gold-plated gem earrings, "This servant thanks Miss for the reward."
The other maidservants were not as bold as Qing Shuang. Looking at the gem earrings in Qing Shuang's hand, they showed envy and hesitation. Cui Zhu didn't expect that the Third Miss would dare to give the things prepared by the madam to a maidservant in front of her. Her face became ugly. At the same time, she was jealous that Qing Shuang had such a generous master like the Third Miss. Even though she was the madam's most favored maidservant, the madam had never given her such precious jewelry. Qing Shuang looked at the maidservants' expressions. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Elder Sister Qing Xia, why don't you pick one of the gifts? If you don't pick one, Yun 'er and the others will feel embarrassed. "
Qing Xia quickly looked at Ye Li and saw that she didn't seem to be angry. Instead, she looked at Qing Shuang with a hint of indulgence. She went forward and picked a gold hairpin to thank Ye Li for the reward. The maidservants saw that Qing Xia had picked one, so they also went forward and picked one or two things they liked. Their faces were full of joy. It had to be known that young maidservants like them didn't have the opportunity to receive rewards from their mistress like the older maidservants by their mistress's side. Although the young miss didn't like such exquisite and precious ornaments, it was still a decent thing to have one as a dowry when she married someone in the future.
"Third Miss, you gave the maidservant the things madam prepared for you. Do you want madam to prepare another set for you? Each young miss only has one set. Third Miss, if you do this, won't madam be embarrassed? "Cui Zhu said with an ugly face.
Ye Li got up and said, "Madam gave it to me, so it's mine. Since each sister only has one set, I naturally won't be an exception. Or … do you still want me or fourth sister to wear such a dress? "Looking at her with interest, Ye Li deliberately emphasized the word 'dress'.
"I … I don't dare."
"It's good that you don't dare. Go back and thank madam for me."
"Young Miss, madam is here." The temporary embroidery maid who changed her name to Jing Wen reported outside the door.
Before Ye Li could say anything, Wang Shi had already brought her people into the room. But the smile on her face froze when she saw the things on the table and in the hands of the maidservants, "Li 'er … don't you like the things mother prepared for you?"
"I've troubled madam, but aunt sent a set to Li 'er two days ago. Li 'er didn't want to waste madam's kindness, so I gave it to Qing Shuang and the others. I think they will be grateful to madam. " Ye Li said casually, but her eyes fell on the several mamas and maidservants who came in with Wang Shi. Obviously, these people weren't from the Ye family.
Qing Shuang brought the maidservants and thanked madam. Wang Shi squeezed out a smile and said to Ye Li, "Li 'er is so kind. These are the mamas in charge of the Ding Palace. Li' er, please meet them."
Without waiting for Ye Li to go forward, the mamas in charge came forward with a serious face and bowed to Ye Li, "This old servant greets Third Miss. This old servant is the mamas in charge of the Prince's affairs. My husband's surname is Sun. Under the order of the Prince, I've sent some things to Third Miss. Please accept it. "
The mamas stretched out her hand, and two mamas and two maidservants came forward with the brocade box to greet Ye Li, "Greetings to Third Miss."
Qing Shuang and Qing Xia quickly went forward to help Sun mamas up. Ye Li smiled and nodded, as if she didn't see Sun mamas's obscure gaze. She smiled and said, "I've troubled Sun mamas. Please thank the Prince for me."
