Chapter 168 Ladies

Saying that, seeing Ye Li walking behind, Ye Li met her eyes and smiled at her.

The lady was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and said with a smile: "What a beautiful lady, young lady, what kind of lady is this, who is born so beautiful!"

The lady who spoke was Mrs. Li, the wife of the servant of the household department.

Mei Weiruo didn't bother to answer Mrs. Li, so she turned her head and ordered the servant girl to quickly make new tea, and ordered someone to bring new snacks.

Only then did Ye Li take his seat at the top.

Madam Su and the others stood behind Ye Li with breathless concentration, raised their heads and held their chests high, with 12 points of energy.

Seeing that Ye Li treated Mei Weiruo so seriously, everyone became more and more curious about Ye Li's identity.

Mei Weiruo glanced at Mrs. Li, with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Li is used to joking." After a pause, she introduced to the ladies, "This is Princess Jing, everyone must have heard of it, right?"

Everyone was taken aback and hurriedly looked at Ye Li.

Not only have you heard of it?

It was like thunder.

How rare is it for ordinary people to get a marriage bestowed by the Holy One?
What's more, Princess Jing Yun's family background is not too high, she is a scholar, farmer, businessman, and businessman has been at the bottom since ancient times. If you have a lot of money, you are also a low-class person, and you will not be able to stand on the stage.

Although Yunfu is a businessman, it is different from ordinary merchants. Yunfu's royal merchants have been doing business for the emperor for generations, so their status is naturally not the same as that of ordinary merchants.

Everyone thought so in their hearts.

Ye Li looked at the crowd with a smile, her demeanor was graceful, she let them scrutinize her without any embarrassment.

On the other hand, Mei Weiruo couldn't see that everyone was staring at A Rou like this, so she quickly helped her out and said, "Okay! Why are you looking at A Rou like this? A Rou is a newly married woman, she has a thin skin! I can't stand your wolf-like eyes."

All the women who were joking around laughed and turned their eyes away.

Mei Weiruo turned to look at Ye Li, Ye Li nodded to her to express her gratitude.

Mei Weiruo smiled: "A Rou is the first time we have a banquet, I'm afraid many people may not recognize it, how about I introduce it to A Rou?"

Naturally, Ye Li couldn't wish for it.

There were at least a dozen people in the yard, and she almost lost her eyes when she looked at it.

Seeing that Mei Weiruo was already close to Princess Jing and called her by her boudoir name, everyone couldn't help being surprised. When did these two become so familiar?

Mei Weiruo doesn't care what she thinks, she just introduces Ye Li. If the status is more valuable, she will say a few more words, and if the status is lesser, she will just mention it.

So many ladies, it's almost impossible to remember that all at once.

It's better to recognize a familiar face first, so that if we meet at another banquet in the future, it won't be unfamiliar.

After a round of recognition, Ye Li really only remembered a few who were a little more noble. She smiled at the ladies and said modestly: "This princess is new here, and I am not familiar with the customs of the capital. If you do something wrong, ladies, don't laugh at it."

She is a member of the royal family, and it is just a polite way to say such a thing.

Even if something really went wrong, no one would dare to laugh at her in front of her face.

Seeing that she was being polite, everyone hurriedly took their seats and bowed, and they all replied: "Concubine Jing is being polite."

It was still early to leave the banquet, and the maids brought new tea and snacks, and the wives passed the time while eating and gossiping.

Because of Ye Li's joining, the wives felt a little uncomfortable.

Among the people here, Ye Li is probably the youngest if you are talking about age, but if you are talking about status, she is the highest.

Moreover, she is new here, and she is not familiar with the wives. She was confused by what the wives said, and she couldn't understand a word, but she didn't leave the table, she just sat upright with a smile on her face. I listened to the ladies from all over the world talking to each other.

Although she couldn't get in the conversation, she could understand more after listening to the wives' gossip.

Mei Weiruo saw that she was lonely alone, so she intentionally brought the topic to Ye Li: "A Rou, the style of your clothes is really fashionable, did you bring them from Jiangnan?"

One sentence shifted the eyes of the ladies to Ye Li.

"Is the clothes on the princess made of gold silk soft smoke?"

"This material is very rare, not to mention the embroidery, the stitches are really exquisite."

"The princess has a fair complexion. Not only does this concubine-colored dress not look dull on the princess, but it also brings out the complexion of the princess even more!"

The wives talked about Ye Li's clothes one by one, and most of them praised it.

Su Momo, who was choosing clothes for Ye Li, was elated.

She knew she was right.

Ye Li smiled and explained: "Wei Ruo has a good eye. The clothes were indeed brought from Jiangnan and prepared by my princess's mother. The gold silk soft smoke was passed from the Western Regions, and I invited my own embroidery workshop." It was embroidered by the embroiderer in the village."

"Is this embroiderer too good? It's a pity that the capital doesn't have such an exquisite embroiderer."

Mrs. Zhang, the Minister of Taichang Temple, said with some regrets that all women love beautiful clothes, without exception.

"The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River support people. Since ancient times, there have been skillful people. Most of the embroiderers in the clothing bureau in the palace are from the south of the Yangtze River."

The wife of Li Canjun's mansion also said.

"Madam Zhang, there is no need to feel sorry. If you like it, you can ask someone to make it from Jiangnan. It's just a waste of time and money, and it's not worth it." Madam Li said.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Li solemnly when she heard the words, waved her hands and refused: "Mrs. Li!" Mrs. Zhang's voice was a little serious, "The Empress has recently advocated frugality, and even the cost of Weiyang Palace has been cut. You It’s fine to talk between us, but don’t talk outside.”

"This... my sister, thank you for reminding me."

Only then did Mrs. Li realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, she forced a smile and stopped talking.

"The pair of bracelets in Mrs. Li's hands are so fine, are they made of suet jade? I haven't seen you wearing them before!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was stagnant, Mei Weiruo hurriedly smoothed things over.

Mrs. Li turned the bracelet around, and said with a shy smile, "Young Madam is still sharp-eyed. This bracelet was a birthday present from my master a few days ago."

"Madam Li and Master Li are really affectionate. I heard that the pair of bracelets inlaid with gold and jade that I gave you last year were made by Master Li himself!"

"I'm afraid Mrs. Li won't be able to put all the birthday presents Mrs. Li has given you in the house over the years, right?"

"Tell me how you did it? Make your husband so caring."

Sure enough, the ladies' attention was shifted to the way of getting along as husband and wife.

While the wives were chatting and laughing, suddenly a servant woman came forward and asked if the young master woke up and wanted to take him out.

This young master is naturally the protagonist of the banquet here, Mei Weiruo's youngest son, the third grandson of this generation of Rongguo Duke's Mansion.
