Chapter 66: Women of Prince Ding's Manor (1)

"Princess, let me report to you, the concubine of late Prince Ding is here . " In the study, Ye Li was going through the accounts she brought from Ye Manor and a maid who came inside reported to her .

Ye Li lifted her head and stopped for a second when she saw the maid standing by the door while Qing Shuang already opened her mouth and said: "Jing Wen, why are you here?" The maid that came with the report was exactly the one whose former name was Han Qing and who was sent to needlework workshop by Ye Li when she was still in Ye Manor . The clothes for maids in Prince Ding's Manor were all moon-light white with a plain belt, which looked especially attractive on her .

Jing Wen looked at Ye Li with a frightened expression and spoke in a low voice: "A mama that's in charge has said that princess won't wear anything that I am going to make with my poor needlework skills . There are four maids who are responsible for embroidery with excellent skills in the needlework workshop already so I was sent out and started to serve princess in the yard . " Though Jing Wen was happy to be able to have left the needlework workshop she was still ashamed that her needlework skill was considered worthless .

Ye Li thought to herself that this maid didn't become cleverer after one or two months in the needlework workshop . Did she really think that there was nothing tough ahead of her just because she had good looks?

"All right . You can go out and invite the concubine in . " Ye Li waved her hand and said .

"Yes, princess . " Jing Wen bent her knees and withdrew from the room with respect .

Qing Shuang complained unhappily: "How come Lin mama and Wei mama put her near you, miss?

In my opinions she definitely has ulterior motives . " Qing Luan and Qing Yu came to serve Ye Li later than Jing Wen did so they knew nothing about her except her far too bewitching appearance . Hearing that from Qing Shuang, they both looked over .

Qing Shuang stamped her feet a little annoyed and said: "It's my fault . I forgot to tell Lin mama . "

Qing Xia smiled slightly and said: "Well, Qing Shuang, Lin mama is very experienced since she has been by Old Lady's side from the start . Do you think that she couldn't tell what kind of person Jing Wen is? Besides, Jing Wen is only a secondary maid who serves in the yard . She's below even Yun-er and Cui-er and she wouldn't cause any trouble since she's a stranger in this manor . "

Ye Li put down the accounts and smiled: "Qing Shuang, there's still a lot of stuff you could learn from Qing Xia . Remember to think before you act . "

Qing Shuang stuck out her tongue and said: "Yes, princess . "

Once she was in the reception pavilion for female guests, Ye Li stopped for a second . The one who was sitting on the host seat was a middle-aged woman in her fifties in gorgeous cloud brocade and wore a pair of gold ornament with jade and gems, who looked like a 100% noble lady . If Ye Li didn't know in advance that the lady was only a concubine of late Prince Ding she would have considered her the legitimate princess . At the moment, the concubine was leaning against the chair for a rest with her eyes closed . Behind her, there were two maids . One of them was massaging her shoulders and another one was fanning for her with a palace fan . Ye Li couldn't help but want to laugh . It was not June yet and the weather in the capital was far from hot . Wasn't the concubine afraid that she could catch a cold by that?

"Princess . " Seeing that Ye Li was inside, everyone in the room stood up in a hurry and bent down their knees to show their respect .

"Leave us . Sorry to keep you waiting . " Ye Li waved the servants away, walked to the other side and sat down with a frown . Only by then did Concubine Yang slowly open her eyes and look at Ye Li with contempt . Ye Li had a smile on her face, not minding that the concubine looked her up and down and turned her eyes to a girl in white that was sitting by the concubine's side . The girl seemed frightened . She drew back her eyes and averted her gaze when her eyes met Ye Li's .
