Chapter 1117, Little Prince Xiao’s Soft Fingers (29)
Ye Yueying's hand on the water pavilion restrained the ladies in the garden, gathered in twos and threes, and looked at Ye Yueying who was sitting alone in the pavilion from time to time.
The Wang family sisters who had been ignored, at this time some young ladies started talking to them, and most of them were asking about Ye Yueying.
The Wang family sisters finally waited for the opportunity to talk with the ladies of the various families, and they did their best to cooperate. Although they are not inexhaustible, they are always answered, and the words often derogate Ye Yueying.
All the ladies present were cultivated by a big family, and after some inquiries, they quickly got to know the situation of Ye Yueying and Wang's family.
Wang family is a fifth-rank official family, the Ye family's head is not low, but unfortunately, there is only one Ye Yueying left. After understanding this, most of the ladies can not help but give birth to a heart of contempt.
Especially the Wang family sisters openly slandered their cousin outside. This behavior was simply unattainable, and it caused everyone to look down on the Wang family more and more.
The girls with strict family traditions have been far away from the Wang sisters early, and in the end, there are only some people who are not too troubled to watch the drama beside the Wang sisters.
"Miss Ye just now was awe-inspiring, but it's a pity, I'm afraid that she might offend people and she doesn't know it."
"Isn't it? The person who was taught by Miss Ye was the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, that's fine. Among the people thrown by Miss Ye on the ground was the seventh girl of the Yan family, who was the first cousin of the princess. ."
"It's a gangster tiger girl, she is bold enough to hurt people in the princess mansion."
Hearing this, the faces of the Wang family sisters changed. Not only did the two of them fail to speak up to protect Ye Yueying, they hated Ye Yueying in their hearts, and felt that she had caused trouble to the Wang family.
The talking lady looked at the ugly face of the Wang family sisters, could not help covering her mouth and chuckled, and then said with sympathy: "The matter just now will definitely be told to the princess. Miss Ye bullied the girl from the Yan family, and the two are afraid that they will suffer. It might be implicated."
Ms. Wang and Miss Wang's hearts suddenly tightened: "Maybe what?"
The lady smiled again: "Maybe, the two may be invited out of the princess mansion with Miss Ye." After speaking, she looked at the Wang sisters with pity.
"Although Princess Chun'an is not often in the capital, people who are expelled from the mansion by her will not be welcomed by other families in the future."
Hearing this, Miss Wang Er couldn't help it, and looked at Ye Yueying in the pavilion angrily: "Ye Yueying is like this. She has never cared about other people's life or life, and acted her own way. She is a hard-fated broom star."
The girls around heard this, and the joke on their faces became deeper.
Ms. Wang was still a little bit brainy, she pulled her sister and motioned her not to say anything.
There are young ladies who want to fill in two more fires, it is best to let the Wang sisters and Ye Yueying make a fuss, but unfortunately, before he had time to act, Xiao Keyan came with a large group of people.
"Meet the princess, the princess will be happy and happy."
Seeing Xiao Keyan's arrival, the girls in the garden changed their faces, putting on elegant and decent smiles, and then saluting them with a lot of etiquette.
Ye Yueying also walked out of the pavilion, standing outside the pavilion to salute.
Xiao Keyan smiled and looked at the ladies: "You girls don’t need to be polite. Today is just a gathering of the juniors of us. Everyone is relaxed."
"Thank princess!"
The ladies got up one after another.
Xiao Keyan smiled and asked the maid behind him to put the materials for making lanterns on the stone table in the garden: "This year's Lantern Festival, His Royal Highness Taisun will have fun with the people, and he will have permission to set up lantern posts at the gates of the palace. Lanterns selected from all over the world will be hung up for people to admire."
"I begged Taisun for a long time at the New Year's Eve banquet, and finally let him nod and agree to grant me the right to manage a lamp position."
"I have long heard that the girls are beautiful and skillful. Don’t hide your clumsiness today. After the lanterns are done, I will let someone select the best looking ones. They will be hung on the lampposts during the Lantern Festival. Watch the lights together on the palace gate wall."
As soon as the words came out, all the ladies were excited.
Admire the lanterns with the princess, and you will surely show your face in front of Taisun and the ministers.
"The maidservants who made the lanterns have all brought us, please feel free to please."
Xiao Keyan did not distribute the lantern materials, but let the ladies freely distribute them. Soon, the ladies with quick hands and feet would divide up the good materials, and those with slow hands and feet could only pick up the bad ones.
Like this kind of activity that does not stipulate the amount of materials, some people are afraid that their materials are not enough, and some people do not want to have too many competitors. There will be cases of deliberately obtaining more materials. Therefore, some ladies cannot get the materials at all.
For example, some young ladies who are embarrassed to fight for face, for example, some young ladies with weak families and lack of confidence dare not compete with those powerful ladies; another example is the marginalized Wang family sisters, and Ye Yueying.
Xiao Keyan looked at everything in the garden, feeling a little bit in her heart. Mother was right. People in the world keep climbing up, just to have more autonomy when choosing or being chosen.
If she does not have a strong pair of parents, or a powerful brother or brother, maybe she is one of the ladies on the scene today, and she has to fight for it.
"Seven girls, the princess is here. The orphan just pushed you to the ground. Go and tell the princess that she will definitely help you out."
The Yan family is the family of Princess Weiyuan. If Miss Yan Qi does not go to get her, someone will take the initiative to give her the best materials for making lights.
Yan Qi glanced sideways at Ye Yueying in the direction of the pavilion. Seeing that Miss Wu from the former Five Army Commander's House actually gave her lamp-making materials, her complexion immediately sank and she was about to go to Xiao Keyan when she got up.
Xiao Keyan also noticed the situation on Ye Yueying's side, and the corner of her mouth tickled.
There is no shortage of stupid people like the Wang sisters in this world, but there is also no shortage of smart people.
Xiao Keyan swept over to Yan Qi and walked towards her, frowning, most of the cousins of the Yan family are very visionary, but these seven cousins are a little hard to say.
Niang told her privately that the seventh cousin had inherited some of the vices of her maternal grandfather's Han family.
Xiao Keyan knew what she was looking for, and didn't give her a chance to speak. He smiled and nodded at her, then passed her straight and walked towards the pavilion.
Seeing Xiao Keyan abandon Yan Qi and walk towards Ye Yueying, the ladies present were all surprised.
Feeling the eyes of everyone, Yan Qi was ashamed and angry. If she was at Yan's house, she would definitely be making trouble, but she knew in her heart that this was the princess's mansion. The one who helped her had to sit back at the stone table with a blushing face, and make a lantern.
"I have seen a princess!"
"Miss Ye, don't be polite."
In the pavilion, Xiao Keyan and Ye Yueying met with each other.
Looking at it from a quiet distance, Xiao Keyan found that her elder brother has a really good vision. This girl Ye belongs to the kind of person who looks cold from a distance and a close look: "Miss Ye, please sit down, me, but I wanted to see you long ago. Seeing you, it's a pity that someone wouldn't let it!"
As said, she winked at Ye Yueying wittyly: "Said that I was afraid that I would bully you."
Ye Yueying was a little startled by Xiao Keyan's words, but for a moment, the roots of her ears became a little red.
Xiao Keyan laughed happily when seeing the future sister-in-law so unobtrusive.
Saw Xiao Keyan and the girl Wu beside her.
They both thought in their hearts, Princess Chun'an is so lively!
The other ladies in the garden saw it, and they were a little unclear, but they also figured out one thing, that is, Princess Chun'an seems to like Ye Yueying very much.
Wang sisters met, she was happy, and she was about to go to the pavilion.
Unfortunately, I was stopped by two maids.
Xiao Keyan can't really ignore those girls who didn't get the materials. No, another maid brought a batch of materials.
"Two girls, there are still places over there, so let’s go over there to make lanterns."
Without waiting for the two of them to object, the maids enthusiastically took them to other places.
Faced with the servants of the princess mansion, the Wang sisters were guilty of conscience, and finally sat at a table with the other two girls who also did not get the materials.
The two of them don’t know how to make lanterns, nor are they in the mood to make them. From time to time, they look up at Ye Yueying, who is chatting and laughing with Princess Chun’an in the pavilion. .
In the pavilion, Xiao Keyan was chatting about various anecdotes, asking Ye Yueying a few words from time to time.
The questions asked by seem to be irrelevant, but they all directly refer to a person’s character and attitude towards the world.
Ye Yueying was aware of it after being asked two questions, and she didn't hide it, so she answered in accordance with her heart.
In this way, the two people talked more easily.
Ms. Wu who was onlookers looked at Ye Yueying again and again. Fortunately, her elder brother let herself take care of Ms. Ye. She was of no use.
Unknowingly, it was noon, and Xiao Keyan took the ladies to the hall to eat together.
Everyone saw that Ye Yueying was arranged to table with Princess Chun'an, and their expressions fluctuated again.
The purpose of today's banquet is to make lanterns, but everyone knows what the purpose is in private.
Is it possible that the palace fell in love with this orphan?
At the dinner table, Xiao Keyan smiled and looked at Yan Qi: "Cousin Seven, Miss Ye is my friend, let’s get to know each other."
are relatives after all, and the eldest uncle and aunt are also good to them, and she does not want any irreconcilable conflict between the future sister-in-law and the seventh cousin.
Yan Qi looked at Ye Yueying, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
She knows that it is impossible for the Yan family girl to marry the palace, but she just likes her big cousin. How is she convinced?
Ye Yueying understood that Xiao Keyan wanted to resolve the contradiction between them, and she was silent for a while, and took the initiative to pick up the fruit wine in front of her: "Girl Yan Qi, just on the water pavilion, confiscated her strength, offended."
Hearing this, Xiao Keyan's eyes showed a smile, but he said that he didn't say stamina, but there was nothing wrong in his words. The future sister-in-law is very tough.
Yan Qi also heard what Ye Yueying meant, and didn't intend to pay attention to it. It can be seen that Xiao Keyan looked at herself with a smile, and could only reluctantly lift the wine glass.
Xiao Keyan smiled: “After drinking this glass of wine, today’s misunderstanding is over. Okay, everyone, hurry up and eat. The lantern is not ready yet.”
After lunch, the ladies came to the garden again and continued to make lanterns.
I’ve been chatting with Xiao Keyan this morning, Ye Yueying didn’t make any, and she didn’t know how to make lanterns. Fortunately, Wu Yutang’s sister was there.
"Thank you, Miss Wu!"
Ye Yueying has very strong hands-on ability, and under the guidance of Ms. Wu, before the end, a lotus lamp was made.
Girl Wu smiled and shook her head: "You are my brother's friend, that's my friend. You don't need to be polite between friends. Hurry up, write your name, wait a minute, and those who are selected will be able to participate in the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. ."
Soon, there will be a maid to collect the lanterns.
At this time, a lady asked: "Who is going to select the lantern?"
Xiao Keyan smiled and said, "This is the first banquet I have held in Beijing. My parents are not worried. They have been watching them in the main courtyard. They choose it. Do you think it's okay?"
The ladies are in a commotion.
Sure enough, the banquet at the Princess Mansion today was for the little prince and the prince to see.
All the ladies are looking forward to it: "The prince and the princess are willing to reward the face, it is our honor!"
A lantern was sent to the main courtyard, and soon another lantern was sent back.
All the ones sent back were not selected, and the Wang sisters were depressed with the lanterns they made.
It didn't take long for Ye Yueying to see the grandmother who went to Wang's house to give a New Year's gift last time.
Ye Yueying was curious about Gu Yu’s identity, and whispered to Miss Wu next to her: "Miss Wu, who is this mother?"
Ms. Wu: "Mother Gu Yu is the confidant of the princess."
Hearing this, Ye Yueying's heart beats, she is actually the confidant of the princess!
Gu Yuxiao looked at the ladies: "The prince and princess selected five lanterns, which are Ms. Liu, Ms. Fei, Ms. Cao, Ms. Wu, and Ms. Ye. The lanterns will be temporarily placed in Princess Mansion, and the lanterns will be hung on the lampposts of the palace gates during the Lantern Festival. superior."
Ye Yueying's face was full of surprises, she didn't expect her one to be chosen!
Knowing the inside story, Miss Wu had a calm face, blinked at Ye Yueying, and joked in a low voice: "I knew that Sister Ye will definitely be selected for yours."
Today, the princess’s mansion is holding this lantern-making festival, isn’t it just for the girl Ye in front of you?
Her lantern was chosen, it seems that the prince and princess recognized her.
Ye Yueying also had a guess in her heart, but she was a little embarrassed to be said that by Miss Wu.
At this moment, Gu Yu spoke again, smiling at the winning Ye Yueying and several people: "The prince and concubine want to see some ingenious girls. Let the girls go to the main courtyard with the slaves."
Hearing this, Ye Yueying's heart was pounding.
"Go!"
Ms. Wu took Ye Yueying and quickly followed the others, and followed Gu Yu to the main courtyard.
Looking at the five people who left, the girls who weren't selected were all full of envy.
Sister Wang’s face stretched even more.
Mr. Wang Er whispered to Ms. Wang Da, “Sister, Ye Yueying is afraid that the palace is really attracted to her.”
Ms. Wang suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and said quietly: "This is a good thing, Ye Yueying really climbed to the palace, there is no harm to our family."
Second girl Wang was still panicked: "But when I think that Ye Yueying will overwhelm us in the future, my heart feels awkward!"
After the selection of lanterns, Xiao Keyan asked the maid to serve refreshments. After using refreshments, the ladies saw that there was nothing wrong with them, and they got up and left one after another.
