Ye Yueying's hand on the waterside pavilion calmed the ladies in the garden. They gathered together in twos and threes, and occasionally glanced at Ye Yueying sitting alone in the pavilion.

The Wang sisters, who had been ignored at first, now began to have ladies talk to them, mostly asking about Ye Yueying.

The Wang sisters finally waited for the opportunity to talk to ladies from various families, and they tried their best to cooperate. Although they didn't know everything, they still answered every question, and their words were often meant to disparage Ye Yueying.

All the ladies present were trained by big families. After some inquiring, they quickly found out everything about Ye Yueying and the Wang family.

The Wang family is a fifth-rank official family, and the Ye family's lintel is not low. Unfortunately, there is only one Ye Yueying left. After understanding this, most ladies can't help but feel contempt.

Especially the Wang sisters openly slandered their cousin outside. This behavior was simply stupid and made everyone look down on the Wang family even more.

The girls with a strict family tradition stayed away from the Wang sisters early on. In the end, the Wang sisters were left with only a few people who didn't mind watching the drama.

"Miss Ye was so powerful just now. It's a pity that she might have offended someone without even realizing it."

"Isn't that right? The person who was taught a lesson by Miss Ye was the direct daughter of the Minister of War. That's fine. Among the people thrown to the ground by Miss Ye was the seventh girl of the Yan family, who was the princess' direct cousin.

."

"After all, she is a tiger girl. She is so courageous that she even dares to hurt people in the princess's mansion."

Hearing this, the faces of the Wang family sisters changed. Instead of speaking out to defend Ye Yueying, they hated Ye Yueying in their hearts, feeling that she had brought trouble to the Wang family.

The lady who spoke looked at the ugly faces of the Wang sisters, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, and then said with a sympathetic look: "The princess will definitely be informed of what happened just now. Miss Ye bullied the girls of the Yan family. I'm afraid you two will be punished."

Maybe..."

Miss Wang, Miss Wang's heart suddenly tightened: "Maybe what?"

The lady smiled again: "Maybe, you two may have to be invited out of the princess mansion together with Miss Ye." After saying that, she looked at the Wang sisters with pity.

"Although Princess Chun'an is not often in the capital, those who are kicked out of the house by her will probably not be welcomed by other families again in the future."

Hearing this, Miss Wang couldn't help it anymore and looked at Ye Yueying in the pavilion angrily: "Ye Yueying is like this. She never cares about the life and death of others and does things her own way. She is just a tough-minded broom star."<

/p>

After hearing this, the ladies around them became even more playful.

Miss Wang still had some brains, so she pulled her sister and signaled her to stop talking.

If a lady wanted to add fuel to the fire, it would be best to let the Wang sisters and Ye Yueying start a fight. Unfortunately, before she could take action, Xiao Keyan came over with a large group of people.

"Greetings to the princess, may the princess be blessed and safe."

Seeing Xiao Keyan's arrival, the ladies in the garden changed their faces, put on elegant and decent smiles, and then saluted with all the etiquette.

Ye Yueying also walked out of the pavilion and stood outside the pavilion to salute.

Xiao Keyan smiled and looked around at the ladies: "Girls, there is no need to be polite. Today is just a gathering for us juniors, so everyone should feel more relaxed."

"Thank you princess!"

All the ladies stood up one after another.

Xiao Keyan smiled and asked the maid behind her to put the materials for making lanterns on the stone table in the garden: "This year's Lantern Festival, His Highness Taisun will have fun with the people, and he will set up lantern poles on both sides of the palace gate.

Lanterns selected from various places will be hung on it for people to watch."

"At the New Year's Eve banquet, I begged my grandson for a long time, and finally he nodded and agreed to grant me the management rights of a lamp position."

"I have long heard that girls from all over the world are pretty and skillful. Please don't hide your clumsiness today. After the lanterns are made, I will ask people to select the most beautiful ones. During the Lantern Festival, they will be hung high on the lampposts and follow me up.

Let’s enjoy the lanterns together on the palace gate and city wall.”

As soon as these words came out, all the ladies were excited.

Enjoy the lanterns with the princess, and you will definitely be able to show your face in front of the grandson and everyone.

"The maids have brought the materials for making lanterns, please do as you wish."

Xiao Keyan did not distribute the lantern materials, but allowed the ladies to distribute them freely. Soon, the ladies with quick hands and feet divided up the good materials, while the ladies with slow hands and feet could only pick up some bad ones.

For activities like this where the amount of materials is not specified, some people are afraid that they will not have enough materials, and some people do not want to have too many competitors, so they will deliberately take more materials. As a result, some ladies cannot get the materials at all.

For example, some ladies are too embarrassed to compete for their face. Another example is that some ladies whose families are weak and lack of confidence dare not compete with those powerful ladies. Another example is the marginalized Wang sisters, and

Ye Yueying.

Xiao Keyan looked at everything in the garden and felt something in her heart. Mom was right. People in the world keep climbing up just to have more autonomy when choosing or being chosen.
p>

If she didn't have a pair of strong parents and powerful brothers, maybe she would be one of the ladies present today and would have to fight for it.

"Seventh girl, the princess is here. The orphan girl just pushed you to the ground. Go tell the princess and she will definitely help you vent your anger."

The Yan family is the natal family of Princess Weiyuan. If Miss Yan Qi didn’t go to get it, someone would take the initiative to give her the best lamp-making materials.

Yan Qi glanced sideways at Ye Yueying in the direction of the pavilion. When she saw that Miss Wu from the former Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was giving her lamp-making materials, her face immediately darkened and she got up to go find Xiao Keyan.

Xiao Keyan also noticed the situation on Ye Yueying's side, and the corner of her mouth curled up.

The world does not lack fools like the Wang sisters, but it also never lacks smart people.

Xiao Keyan glanced at Yan Qi walking towards her and frowned. Most of the cousins ​​in the Yan family are very discerning, but this seventh cousin is a bit difficult to describe.

Her mother told her privately that her seventh cousin had inherited some bad habits from her maternal ancestor’s family, the Han family.

Xiao Keyan knew why she was looking for her, so he didn't give her a chance to speak. He smiled and nodded at her, then walked past her and walked towards the pavilion.

Seeing Xiao Keyan leaving Yan Qi and walking towards Ye Yueying, all the ladies present were surprised.

Feeling everyone's eyes on her, Yan Qi felt ashamed and angry. If she were at Yan's house, she would definitely get into trouble, but she knew in her heart that this was the princess's house. If she really dared to mess around, her grandparents wouldn't let her go home.

The person who helped her had no choice but to sit back in front of the stone table with a blushing face, and was busy making lanterns.

......

"Meet the princess!"

"Miss Ye, please stop being so polite."

In the pavilion, Xiao Keyan and Ye Yueying greeted each other.

Looking carefully from a distance, Xiao Keyan discovered that her eldest brother had really good vision. This Miss Ye was the kind of person who looked cool from a distance and amiable up close: "Miss Ye, please sit down. I've wanted to meet you for a long time."

I want to see you, but unfortunately, someone won’t let you!"

As he said that, he winked at Ye Yueying playfully: "You said you were afraid that I would bully you."

Ye Yueying was a little stunned by Xiao Keyan's joking look, but after a moment, her ears turned red again.

Xiao Keyan burst into laughter when she saw her future sister-in-law being so careless with teasing.

This made Ye Yueying and Miss Wu on the side look stunned.

Both of them were thinking, Princess Chun'an is so lively!

The other ladies in the garden saw it and were a little confused. However, they also figured out one thing: Princess Chun'an seemed to like Ye Yueying very much.

When the Wang sisters saw it, they felt happy and started to go to the pavilion.

Unfortunately, I was stopped by two maids.

It's impossible for Xiao Keyan to really ignore those ladies who didn't get the materials. No, another maid brought a new batch of materials.

"You two girls, there's still room over there, so go over there and make lanterns."

Without waiting for the two to object, the maids enthusiastically took them elsewhere.

Facing the servants of the princess's mansion, the Wang sisters felt guilty, and finally sat at a table with two other ladies who also didn't get the materials.

The two of them didn't know how to make lanterns and were not in the mood to do so. From time to time they would look up at Ye Yueying who was chatting and laughing with Princess Chun'an in the pavilion. They secretly resented that this Ye Yueying had become friends with the princess and didn't know how to call them.

.

In the pavilion, Xiao Keyan chatted about various interesting stories from all over the world, and asked Ye Yueying a few words from time to time.

The questions asked may seem insignificant, but they all point directly to a person's character and attitude towards the world.

Ye Yueying noticed it after being asked two questions. She didn't hide it and answered everything according to her heart.

In this way, the two of them became more relaxed as they chatted.

Miss Wu, who was watching the whole process, looked at Ye Yueying repeatedly. Fortunately, her elder brother asked me to take care of Miss Ye, but she was of no use.

Unknowingly, noon arrived, and Xiao Keyan took all the ladies to the hall to have dinner.

When everyone saw that Ye Yueying was arranged to sit at the same table as Princess Chun'an, their expressions fluctuated again.

The official purpose of today's banquet is to make lanterns, but everyone knows the secret purpose.

Is it possible that the palace has taken a liking to this orphan girl?

At the dinner table, Xiao Keyan looked at Yan Qi with a smile: "Seventh cousin, Miss Ye is my friend, you should get to know each other."

After all, they were relatives, and their uncle and aunt were good to them. She didn't want any irreconcilable conflicts to arise between her sister-in-law and her seventh cousin in the future.

Yan Qi looked at Ye Yueying with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.

She knew that it was impossible for a girl from the Yan family to get married to the royal family, but she just liked her eldest cousin. It would be fine if her eldest cousin fell in love with ladies who were inferior to her, but he chose to fall in love with an orphan girl. This made her

How can she be convinced?
