The maidservants who followed Ye Li from the Ye family also had opinions about this delicate cousin. Fourth Miss was already delicate and moving, but this one was even more fragile than her. Furthermore, the treatment of this cousin was not much different from the treatment of the Ye family's di miss. When their young miss was in the Ye family, she only received thirty taels of silver a month. Furthermore, this Miss Yang did not have any reputation in the capital. It could be seen that this person did not go out to socialize, so naturally, there was no need for her to spend. The young miss had just gotten married, yet she came over to complain that she was poor. It was too much.
Ye Li frowned as she looked at the side grand concubine. It wasn't that she was stingy. She had just arrived at the Wang fu and could not go against the rules set by the predecessors to increase Yang Qianru's treatment. Even if the Ding Wang fu was large, it was impossible for them to casually withdraw money without any scruples. Without rules, nothing could be accomplished. Furthermore, the Wang fu had treated Yang Qianru quite well. Unfortunately, the side grand concubine obviously did not think so. Seeing Ye Li's difficult expression, she couldn't help but angrily say, "What does Princess mean? Qianru is still the Prince's cousin. Can't it be that a few taels of silver can't be spent? If outsiders know that our Ding Wang fu mistreats an orphan girl whose parents are dead, the Prince's face will not look good. "In short, the side grand concubine wanted to put the reputation of mistreatment on Mo Xiuyao's head.
"Then, how much does side grand concubine think is reasonable?"
The side grand concubine frowned and said with an unwilling expression, "It should be eighty taels of silver a month. There are also head ornaments and accessories. How can two sets be enough? Qianru can't go out to meet people these few years and even her marriage has been delayed. In the future, there will be many times when she goes out with you. Let Fenghua Building send over four sets. "Seeing the side grand concubine's matter-of-fact expression, Ye Li couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. When did she agree for Yang Qianru to follow her? Even if she did not go out these few years, she could still link it to the Wang fu. If it wasn't for the Prince Ding Mansion, with the Yang family's background, they might not even remember the concubine daughter of the Prince Ding Mansion.
"Side Imperial Concubine, please be careful with your words. Wangfei is the Mistress of the Ding Palace. It was impossible for him to bring an unmarried girl with him when he was walking around outside. Even if there is, it should be a girl from the prince's mansion or a di sister from the princess' family. "Sun mama said with a serious face. Ye Li couldn't help but praise him in her heart. She didn't want to go on blind dates with a weak girl who would shed tears at the sight of flowers and rain. Hearing Granny Sun's words, Yang Qianru's face turned red. She let out a low cry and clutched her chest. Tears welled up in her eyes and were about to fall. Without waiting for side grand concubine to get angry, Ye Li frowned and said to the three people, "Since you've asked clearly, Steward Wang and Mammy Zhang should go back first. In addition, I will allocate ten taels of silver from my monthly allowance to Miss Biao. Since she's a guest, we can't let Miss Biao suffer. "
"Yes, we will follow Princess's orders." Steward Wang and Mama Zhang responded and retreated.
Ye Li continued, "Side grand concubine and Miss Biao should also go back first. As for Miss Biao's marriage, I will discuss it with the Prince before giving a reply to side grand concubine. "
Side grand concubine was unwilling, but when she saw Ye Li's expression of wanting to see them off, she didn't dare to go against Ye Li's intentions. She could only angrily leave with the aggrieved Yang Qianru.
After sending the two off, Ye Li looked at Sun mama and said, "Sun mama. Steward Wang and Mammy Zhang's salaries will be increased by ten taels this month. Just take it from me. "
Sun mama complied and looked at Ye Li, saying, "Actually, Princess doesn't need to pay attention to side grand concubine and Miss Biao. Our wang fu has never treated Miss Biao unfairly. We haven't touched a single cent of the inheritance that the Yang Family left to Miss Biao. " Ye Li helplessly said, "Look at what she's wearing today. What would others think if they saw her like this?" Sun momo pursed her lips and said, "Princess Consort, you may not know this, but this Miss Biao is very strange. It's said that she likes white very much. The clothes we sent for the four seasons were all colors that girls like, but Miss Biao said that they were tacky. She was only willing to wear white clothes. If the clothes we sent didn't have white, she would rather wear her old clothes. She ruined a lot of clothes for no reason. The steward of the fu had no choice but to send white clothes. For the Prince and Princess's wedding, Mama Zhang had specially ordered people to make a set of peach red and a set of light purple. Who knows … … "
Tacky? Not necessarily, right? Ye Li thought of another person who liked to wear plain clothes.
"In the future, there will be many guests in the wang fu. We can't let her come out to meet people like this." In the past, the wang fu basically didn't interact with outsiders. Now that Mo Xiuyao was married and had come out to meet people, it wouldn't do to close the doors and refuse guests. "I'll go back and ask Prince if he wants to change out of all the plain clothes." Thinking, Ye Li said with a slight smile. Sun mama froze for a moment, then immediately reacted, "What does Princess mean?"
"I didn't say anything. I just don't like white clothes." Ye Li said with a smile.
"Princess, Prince invites you."
Mo Xiuyao didn't have any servant girls to serve him, so the one who came to deliver the message was one of Mo Xiuyao's personal guards. Ye Li nodded and stood to ask, "Where is the Prince right now?" The guard said, "The Prince is waiting for Princess in the water pavilion."
"I know. You can go."
The Ding wang fu could be said to be the largest fu in Jing City. Of course, this was related to the position of the Ding wang fu in the Da Chu State. The wang fu had been remodeled by successive Princes for over a hundred years. Even though the area hadn't expanded, the scenery inside the wang fu could be called the best in Jing City. In the southwest corner of the wang fu, there was a natural lake that took up one-sixth of the entire wang fu. There was a wooden corridor built on the surface of the lake that led to a water pavilion with three rooms in the middle of the lake. The surface of the lake was covered in green lotus leaves, making the lake water ripple. Just walking in, one could feel a faint coolness. It must be a good place to relax in the summer.
Waving her hand to stop the servant girls, Ye Li walked alone along the corridor on the surface of the lake towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake. As expected, she saw Mo Xiuyao sitting in front of the open window, lost in thought. Hearing her footsteps, Mo Xiuyao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Li." Ye Li walked in, "What are you thinking about?" Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said with a smile: "I've been busy with some trivial matters these past two days. I didn't have time to ask if you're used to it?"
Ye Li shrugged and found a place to sit across from him. She said with a smile: "My ability to adapt has always been very good. The people in the wang fu are also very good. I'm very used to it. " Seeing Mo Xiuyao looking at her with a strange expression, Ye Li blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "It can't be that you're not used to it, right?" She didn't expect Mo Xiuyao to actually nod his head and said with a smile in a low voice: "I'm indeed not used to it. It seems … … it's been many years since I was the only one in this wang fu. "
"En … … do you need me to leave?" Ye Li was a little apologetic. She didn't think that her existence would cause trouble for Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao laughed involuntarily and shook his head: "How could that be? Li, I thought that we were husband and wife. "
"So?"
"I feel that we need to spend more time together," Mo Xiuyao said.
Ye Li understood. Some people would habitually avoid things that they were not used to, but others would choose to face them head-on. Mo Xiuyao clearly belonged to the latter. For a couple like them who clearly had no feelings before marriage, they needed to cultivate feelings after marriage. "Do you have any good suggestions?" Mo Xiuyao said: "If you have time, you can accompany me to talk or read a book. Or if you don't feel ashamed, I can accompany you for a walk."
