She was quite close to the black peony, so she couldn't help but follow the group of people as they surrounded it to admire its beauty. Consort De smiled happily along with the other misses.
Ye Jinru was quite capable and she got to know quite a few people in a short while.
Only Ye Jinsu was still sitting silently on the side. The old lady turned her head and looked at her a few times. Her expression showed displeasure, but she couldn't show it on her face.
Consort De's eyes swept across the field. For a moment, he really couldn't see where Ye Jinsu was. Since she couldn't find him, she pulled Ye JinRu along and said, "The daughter of the Ye family is born to be a good child. She is sensible and I like her."
Upon hearing such praise, Ye Jingru felt her spine stiffen and a proud look appeared on her face.
Consort De smiled and looked at her, then exchanged a few more pleasantries with her. After praising the old lady a few more times, she finally spoke, "I heard that your two daughters from the Ye Clan only saw you?"
The other one was naturally Ye Jinsu.
Since they were all family members of the Shangguan Family, how could they not know about the matter between Ning Yunyin and Ye Jinsu? Everyone was well aware that Consort De wanted to see this person.
The entire audience was shocked.
Ye Jinxiu had heard it clearly from behind, and she knew that she really couldn't avoid it this time, so she looked helpless.
Ye JinRu did not look too good. She was just talking about herself a moment ago, why did she have to talk about Ye Jinsu? Why did everyone remember her?
However, in front of the Concubine De, Ye Jinru did not dare to be impudent. She could only greet him with a smile.
"Elder sister likes peace and quiet. Since we won't be sitting in the back, I'll go find her for you."
As she spoke, Ye JinRu glared in Ye Jinsu's direction. Ye Jinsu helplessly walked up and bowed to Consort De. He was not lacking in etiquette, and his actions were flawless.
Consort De looked at Ye Jinsu with a meaningful gaze. Even the emperor, who had been silent all this time, was looking at her.
Almost all eyes were on her.
Ye Jinsu felt extremely awkward and lowered her head.
Consort De looked at Ye Jinsu, smiled and held her hand, "Good child, let me have a look."
Ye Jinsu had no choice but to raise her head.
Towards Consort De's weather-beaten eyes, there was no special emotion in Ye Jinsu's eyes. It was as if there was a layer of mist covering it, making people unable to see it clearly.
There was neither fear nor awe in her eyes.
Just like a piece of white paper, nothing.
Consort De smiled and nodded, "She does look good. She looks like a good child. Not bad, not bad!"
After speaking, he turned to look at the emperor. The old man and wife asked, "Your Imperial Majesty, what do you think?"
This posture, no matter how one looked at it, seemed to be picking a daughter-in-law.
Ye Jinsu felt very upset in her heart.
Ning Yun Ning watched her from the side, her gaze landing on her from beginning to end. Only he could see the displeasure on Ye Jinsu's calm face. She really didn't like this place.
The emperor was drinking wine at the side. He glanced at Ye Jinsu and laughed loudly, "I can see that Great Scholar Ye really knows how to teach girls. My two daughters are really good at teaching."
These courteous words eased the somewhat stiff atmosphere of the arena.
Ye Jinsu was pushed to Consort De's side and sat down. She accompanied Consort De and chatted with her about family matters. She enjoyed the flowers with her, and Ye Jingru's matter was completely gone. Ye Jingru's face was completely black. She rubbed her nose as she returned to her original position.
It wasn't easy for her to gain the favor of the Concubine De, but for Ye Jinxiu, it was as unique as doing nothing.
However, he didn't know that the old lady beside him had a slightly heavy expression on her face.
Previously, she thought that the Empress wanted to see Ye Jinsu, but today, when she saw the Emperor, she understood that he wanted to see Ye Jinsu.
From the beginning to the end, the Emperor didn't express his hatred towards Ye Jinsu and only complimented her with a few polite words.
Although the Concubine De seemed to have a good impression of Ye Jinsu, what would happen if the emperor didn't like her? Ye Jinsu was now involved with Ning Wang, so any movement would implicate the Ye Family.
She was truly worried.
However, Ye Jinsu seemed to lack interest as he chatted with esteemed wangfei. His entire being was cold and distant. Ning Yunxiao watched her from the side and actually felt that she was very far away from him.
The emperor, who was at the side, looked at his precious son before looking at Ye Jinsu. In her heart, she had clearly understood what was going on. From the moment Ye Jinsu had walked over to this stop, Ning Yunyin had been looking at her frequently.
Ye Jinsu, on the other hand, had never seen Ning Yunxiao before.
The emperor raised his glass and took a sip of wine. He thought that they were mutual lovers, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated.
Esteemed Empress apparently noticed it as well. She was well aware of what Ning Yunyin had said at the Ye Residence that day, and how Ye Jinsu had performed.
Of course, she also understood that Ye Jinsu didn't want to marry, so she just assumed that Ning Yunyin was the one who was tempted. Ye Jinsu simply didn't have any feelings for Ning Yunxiao. He tried his best to pull Ye Jinsu along and chatted about Ning Yunyin from time to time.
"I've always wanted a daughter who's as pretty as you. "It's a pity that I haven't had a child in my life." Concubine De sighed. "But the harem doesn't lack children after all. I even carried these with me when I was young."
"Among them, Little Fourteenth is the most adorable. When he was young, he wasn't as carefree as he is now. At that time, his mother was the one who fed him, her little arms and legs were round and smooth like lotus roots. " As she spoke, Concubine De continued to laugh, as if she had thought of something funny.
Ye Jinsu mended a bit with her head lowered. She couldn't help but smile as she wondered what Ning Yunyin would look like after she had gained so much weight.
"But this child's life is also miserable. He lost his mother when he was young." Concubine De sighed again, her voice a little sorrowful. He seemed to have thought of something sad and couldn't continue to talk.
Ye Jinsu quickly comforted her, but her eyelashes trembled.
She had never heard of it.
She had actually lost her mother when she was young.
Ye Jinsu lowered her head, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
As the empress left the stage early, a new song began playing on the stage. Ye Jinxiu was in no mood to listen, only accompanying Consort De. By the end, Consort De was also a bit tired, so she waved to everyone to disperse.
Ning Yunyin, who had been sitting on the side the entire time, finally relaxed a little. He was careful that his royal father and Consort De would make things difficult for her when they sought out Ye Jinsu.
But at the moment, Consort De actually quite liked Ye Jinsu.
The crowd dispersed one by one. Ye Jinsu also stood up to bow and bid farewell to Consort De. However, he was stopped by Consort De. She smiled and said, "You stay."
Ye Jinsu was stunned, even the old lady and Ye JinRu stopped in their tracks.
Consort De looked at the old lady and Ye Jinru and said with a smile, "I just like this child and want to talk a bit more. I'll have the palace maids take you out of the palace first, and then I'll send the child back. "
"Old lady, don't worry."
