Chapter 89 The female family of Dingwang's mansion (3)
The girls who followed Ye Li from the Ye family also had a lot of opinions about this delicate cousin. The fourth lady was already charming enough, and this one was even weaker than her. Moreover, the treatment of this cousin by the princely mansion was not much worse than that of the Ye family's legitimate lady. When her daughter was in the Ye family, she was only thirty taels a month, and she did not have any reputation in the capital. It can be seen that this lady never went out for social activities, so she naturally had no money. It was too much for the lady to come over and cry when she was newly married.
Ye Li frowned and looked at Concubine Bang. It was not that she was stingy. She had just arrived at the royal palace and could not have violated the rules set by her predecessors to improve Yang Qianru's treatment. Even if the Prince's Mansion has great achievements, it would not be possible to withdraw silver at will without any scruples. Without rules, it would be better for the Prince's Mansion to Yang Qianru. Unfortunately, Concubine Bang obviously didn't think so. Seeing Ye Li's embarrassing look, he couldn't help but angrily said: "What does the princess mean? Qianru is finally the prince's cousin. Is it useless to spend a few taels of silver? If outsiders know that our Prince's Mansion treats a ruthless orphan whose parents both die, the prince's face will not look good." In short, Concubine Bang just wants to put her reputation for being ruthless on Mo Xiuyao.
"So, how much does the Concubine Bang think is reasonable?"
Concubine Fang frowned and said with an unwilling look: "It's 80 taels a month, and there are still jewelry on the head and face. How can only two sets of jewelry be enough? Qianru hasn't been able to go out to see people for many years, and now she has even dragged down her marriage. In the future, when will she go out and walk around with you, let Fenghualou send four sets of them." Looking at Concubine Fang's look on her face, Ye Li couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. When did she agree to Yang Qianru follow her? Even if she didn't walk outside for many years, she could get involved in the royal palace. If it weren't for the Ding Princess, with the Yang family's family background, I'm afraid she might not remember the concubine's daughter of the Ding Princess.
"Pretty Concubine Bang, please be careful. The princess is the head mistress of the Ding King's Mansion. It is impossible to take a girl who is not married when walking outside. Even if she is the girl from the Prince's Mansion or the legitimate sister of the Princess's mother's family, it is almost the same." Madam Sun said with a serious face. Ye Li couldn't help but praise her in her heart. She didn't want to bring a weak woman who was sad when she saw flowers and rain. After hearing Madam Sun's words, Yang Qianru had already blushed, and she screamed and held her heart and tears in her eyes. It was about to fall. Before Madam Bang became angry, Ye Li frowned and said to the three of them: "Since you have asked clearly, Manager Wang and Madam Zhang will go back first. In addition, from my case every month, I will give her ten taels to Miss Cousin. The person who came was a guest, so we can't be wronged.
"Yes, follow the princess's instructions." Manager Wang and Madam Zhang stepped down.
Ye Li continued: "Father Concubine and Miss Cousin should go back first. As for Miss Cousin's marriage, I will discuss with the prince before replying to the Mother Concubine."
The Concubine Bang was unwilling to accept it, but when she saw Ye Li's expression on her face, she didn't dare to really disobey Ye Li's intentions. She had to leave with the aggrieved Yang Qianru.
After seeing off the two, Ye Li looked at Madam Sun and said, "Madam Sun, Manager Wang and Madam Zhang's salary will be added to 10 taels this month, and you will pay it directly from me."
Madam Sun should have looked at Ye Li and said, "Actually, the princess doesn't need to pay attention to the concubine and the cousin. Our princess has never treated the cousin badly. We have never touched the inheritance left by the Yang family to the cousin." Ye Li said helplessly: "Look at what clothes she is wearing today. If outsiders see you, what do you think?" Madam Sun curled her lips and said, "The princess doesn't know, this cousin is very strange. It is said that she prefers white very much.
Originally, the clothes we sent were all the colors that girls liked, but the lady on the watch said that they were vulgar. She was willing to wear white clothes. If the clothes she sent were not white, she would rather wear the old clothes she used to do. However, she had ruined a lot of clothes in vain. The manager in the mansion had no choice but to choose white clothes to send them. This time the prince and the princess got married, and Madam Zhang specially ordered someone to make a set of peach and a set of lavender to send them. Who knows..."
Taboo? I'm afraid it's not necessarily true? Ye Li remembered another person who likes to wear plain clothes.
"There will be a lot of guests in the royal palace in the future, so she can't let her come out to meet people like this." After all, in the past, the Ding King's Mansion basically did not interact with outsiders. Now, since Mo Xiuyao has been married and has come out to meet people, he will definitely not be able to thank the guests after being closed. "Let me ask the princess to see if he wants to change all the plain clothes." After thinking about it, Ye Li smiled. Madam Sun was stunned and immediately reacted, "What does the princess mean?"
"I didn't say anything, but I just don't like white clothes very much." Ye Li said with a smile.
"Princess, the prince is invited."
There was no maid waiting by Mo Xiuyao, so the one who came to send the message was the guards next to Mo Xiuyao. Ye Li nodded and stood up and asked, "Where is the prince now?" The guard said, "The prince is waiting for the princess in the water pavilion."
"I got it, you go."
The Ding King's Mansion can be said to be the largest mansion in the capital. Of course, this is related to the status of the Ding King's Mansion in the Great Chu. Although the area of the palace has not been expanded after more than a hundred years of renovation, the scenery in the palace can be regarded as the highest of the capital. There is a natural lake wave that accounts for one-sixth of the real palace in the southwest corner of the palace. A wooden corridor is built on the lake and winds all the way to a water pavilion with three rooms. The lake is full of green lotus leaves, which reflects the lake water with clear waves. I feel a faint coolness as soon as I walked in. It seems to be a good place to cool down in summer.
Waving his hand to stop the girls, Ye Li stepped onto the corridor on the lake alone and walked towards the water pavilion in the middle of the lake. Sure enough, he saw Mo Xiuyao sitting in front of the open window and trance. Hearing her footsteps, Mo Xiuyao came back to his senses and smiled: "A Li." Ye Li walked in, "What are you thinking?" Mo Xiuyao shook his head and smiled: "I've been busy with some trivial matters these two days, and I haven't had time to ask you if you are still used to it?"
Ye Li shrugged her shoulders, found a seat opposite him and sat down and smiled, "I have always been very adaptable. The people in the palace are also very good, and I am very used to it." Seeing that Mo Xiuyao looked at him with a strange expression, Ye Li blinked her eyes and smiled, "Can you not be used to it, right?" Unexpectedly, Mo Xiuyao actually nodded and laughed in a low voice, "I am really not used to it. It seems... I have been in this palace for many years. It seems that I am the only one in this palace."
"Well... do I need to avoid it?" Ye Li apologized, but she didn't expect that her existence would cause trouble to Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao laughed silently and shook his head and said, "How could it be? A Li, I thought we were husband and wife."
"so?"
"I think we need to get along more." Mo Xiuyao said.
