Chapter 27: Zhuyan Precious Pearl(s)

"What did you say?! Ye Li got the Hundred Flowers' first place?!"

Ye fu[1] , inside Ye Ying's Hui Xue Ge[2], Ye Ying's voice that had always been tender and elegant before had an added trace of wordless harshness to it. In the reception pavilion that was arranged to look elegant and quietly secluded were serving yatou[3] kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear as she replied, "Replying...Replying to xiaojie[4] , there are indeed such rumours outside. Third xiaojie had already returned to the fu, also...Yushi[5] fu Qin family, Xu family, Hua Guo Gong[6] fu, General Yang Wei fu, Prime Minister fu, and Minister of Rites fu all had people send gifts to congratulate third xiaojie's victory." A crack finally emerged on Ye Ying's dainty mien, one wave of a hand sweeping all the things placed on the table on the side onto the ground. The yatou kneeling at the most front was struck head-on yet didn't dare to cry out in pain, promptly saying, "Xiaojie, quell your anger......"

"Quell what anger! Ye Li...how could that s.l.u.t Ye Li possibly become the Hundred Flowers champion?" Ye Ying shouted in disbelief. She had Ye Li pushed out precisely because she had observed how mother hadn't at all specially invite anyone to teach her these years; compared to how she didn't have the certainty of beating Xi Xia gongzhu[7] , she would've inevitably lost face. By that time, although she couldn't get this year's Hundred Flowers' first place, it was defeat without there even being a fight; it didn't count as losing face. What's more important was that by that time, everyone would all know that it was only she Ye Ying who was precisely the Ye family's most outstanding daughter. Even if Ye Li was the Xu family's waisunnu[8] , all the same she also wouldn't be able to compete with her!

Although she was extremely angry, Ye Ying very quickly calmed down, reverting back to her usual self that was tender and elegant. She stood up and said, "Everyone stand up, let's go to where mother is to see her."

The yatou in the reception pavilion all secretly breathed a sigh of relief; those who ought to clean up the mess cleaned up the mess and those who ought to follow Ye Ying had hurriedly tidied up their appearances to follow Ye Ying in going to see w.a.n.g shi[9].

Rong Le Hall

Ye Li quietly sat upright, despite Ye laofuren[10] , Ye Shangshu[11] and w.a.n.g shi sizing her up. Ye laofuren smiled affectionately as she looked at Ye Li and said, "Li er[12] is indeed worthy of being my Ye family's di[13] daughter; now she is actually an overnight celebrity. Our Ye family had after all produced two famous Hundred Flowers' champions. Who in this capital wouldn't praise us for teaching our daughters correctly?"

Ye Li pursed her lips into a faint smile and said, "Zumu[14] has overpraised, it is all due to being taught well by zumu and fuqin[15]."

Ye Shangshu looked at the quiet and dignified daughter before his eyes with a very complicated expression. This daughter who he had never seriously paid attention to was entirely different from the other daughters in the family; she appeared unremarkable but if one were to look carefully, she had a special kind of impressive elegance and gracefulness of a large aristocratic family. This made him unable to help but recall the first time he had met his already deceased wife; it was also this kind of elegance and indifference. Beautiful in a way that caused one to admired from the heart, yet at the same time gracefully making people to feel inferior on the inside. Even though she wasn't raised in the Xu family and she didn't have the best upbringing, was the Xu family's blood capable enough of making his other children to be far inferior? Remembering when he heard someone else mention the performances of several daughters at the Hundred Flowers Event, Ye Shangshu thought silently on the inside. Once again thinking of Ye Rong who had been spoiled by muqin[16] and w.a.n.g shi, Ye Shangshu felt even more regretful on the inside: why isn't Li er a boy?
