Meanwhile, at the palace, it was still pretty happening.
Ye Qingli was happily having a conversation with Chu Tian Ge.
Then suddenly, there was someone calling her from the side.
"Elder sister! Elder sister! You should sit over here!"
Ye Qingli looked up, it was Ye Yun Xiao.
Chu Tian Ge saw her too.
She raised an eyebrow and said, "Your third sister is such a faker, I don't like her at all!"
After she said that, she then realised that it was not good to talk badly about other's sister in front of them. "Oh my, that was a slip of the mouth, I hope you do not mind it!"
Ye Qingli winked.
"Actually, I think so too!"
They both laughed.
Ye Qingli got up and walked back. She silently came back to her seat.
Ye Jinli was displeased looking at Ye Qingli, "Hey, what kind of friend did elder sister meet there, and what were you talking about that was so funny?"
She said viciously, "Can't you tell? Your older sister entered the palace for the first time, but does she have any friends? It is nothing but just enlarging my circle of friends, that's all!"
After saying that insinuating words, a couple of ladies in the surroundings looked over with widened eyes.
"Isn't it said that the eldest young miss of the Ye family was frail and sickly, and her head is also not that good?"
"Haven't you heard? She is now pretty famous. She has been out all day, showing her face in public recently. Not knowing how many men she had already been with though."
"Aiya, you should mind what you are saying. How is that related to this?"
"Who knows, she is someone that was rejected by her lover..."
Ye Jinli heard the surrounding discussions and looked at Ye Qingli proudly.
Ye Qingli had always had a bad reputation in Fengyi City, even Zeng Menan did not want to marry her.
This added the hatred for Ye Qingli even more.
As long as there was an opportunity to vilify her, she would not let go.
But Ye Qingli was not interested in dealing with Ye Jinli.
Arguing with her on this occasion, even if she won, she would only lose her dignity.
She shrugged indifferently.
Ye Qingli gave a dismissive look at Ye Jinli and said lightly, "Some people are better off looking into the mirror before they talk about others?"
"You…"
Ye Jinli was so angry, just as she wanted to say something, Ye Qingli had turned around to drink grape juice. Treating Ye Jinli as if she wasn't there.
Ye Jinli was so angry that her hair was about to stand up.
Fortunately, she still had some senses and did not tear Ye Qingli up.
At the same time, the long-tongued women seemed to find that there was something wrong with their words.
They began to look at Ye Jinli with strange eyes.
Screaming in anger, she almost wanted to flip the table and walk away.
At that moment, the bell and drums sounded, the palace maid and eunuch lined up in two lines.
Then, the emperor and Imperial Concubine Duan took their seats.
However, both of their faces looked unnatural.
Imperial Concubine Duan just drank a bowl of Dingjing tea and recollected herself. However, her face was still pale despite applying a thick layer of make-up powder.
She then remembered the words of Jun Lin Feng. She looked around, looking at the pre-arranged positions.
Ye Yun Xiao, who was graceful and dignified, gave her a good impression on her.
However, when she saw Ye Qingli, she could not help but frown.
Today was an annual palace feast, everyone was dressed up.
Ye Qingli wore an ordinary home clothing which looked shabby.
On today's occasion, her attire was so simple and crude. How could she meet others?
Hold on, why does this woman look so familiar?
At that moment, the emperor had also caught sight of Ye Qingli and looked over.
Imperial Concubine Duan's mind turned quickly.
Last name Ye...
Was that her?
