Chapter 37: Ye Family's Eldest Young Miss

At the end of the fourth month, Ye Manor sent someone to welcome Ye Li back to the manor. Ye Ying's marriage was set at the end of the fourth month; it was the only auspicious day in the fourth month. Xu Hong Yu in an extremely calm manner dismissed the people from Ye Manor. On the day before the wedding, he would have Xu Qing Bai and Xu Qing Yan escort Ye Li home. Though Minister Ye was disconsolate, towards this brother-in-law, there was an inexplicable fear the minister couldn't explain. Not adding any more words, he could only let Ye Li return to Qing Yi Court to rest.

When Ye Li left to go to Xu Manor, she had only taken Qing Shuang and Qing Xia. Yet, when she returned, she had brought more than ten mouths to feed, including Lin-mama and Wei-mama. There was also the two servant girls that her grandfather had personally picked, Qing Luan and Qing Yu. Originally, Qing Yi Court was not very large, now it was even more crowded. Wei-mama saw the arrangement at Qing Yi Court and became more distressed.

Wei-mama could not stop the tears from falling and straightforwardly said: "This is the room of a noble young mistress?"

Ye Li did not mind. She smiled and comforted: "The decorations are just adornments. When we leave, it would be more convenient for others."

Wei-mama didn't agree, but she didn't want to correct her young mistress and could only direct the little servant girls to rearrange Ye Li's room. Ye Li could only helplessly watch as Wei-mama went about her task. For some reason, everyone was very dissatisfied with her room. Each time someone came, they would always comment.

"Young Miss, Eldest Young Miss came for a visit." A servant girl outside reported.

"Welcome the Crown Prince's Side Consort." Ye Li dropped the needle in her hand, looked up, and smiled.

Within a short while, a beauty entered the room. "Third Younger Sister," She saw Ye Li and couldn't help but smile.

Ye Li hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Greetings to the Crown Prince's Side Consort." This woman was the Eldest Young Miss of the Ye Family, Side Consort to Crown Prince Nan Hou, Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen held tightly onto Ye Li's hand. She laughed and said: "Wouldn't dare. Once Third Younger Sister marries, I will have to be the one to greet Third Younger Sister. Besides, there are no outsiders here. We are still sisters after all."

"Eldest Sister, please sit." Ye Li nodded.

Ye Zhen's mother was a concubine who was a servant girl that grew up with Minister Ye. When Ye Zhen was five, her mother passed away due to illness. From then, Ye Zhen was kept at Xu-shi's side. When Xu-shi left, Ye Zhen was already thirteen. In that way, the relationship between Ye Li and Ye Then could be considered not bad and when she was still home, Ye When took great care of Ye Li. Unfortunately, before she was even fifteen, Wang-shi had arranged for her to marry Crown Prince Nan Hou as a side consort. It was rumored that Crown Prince Nan Hou did not favor Ye Zhen; even after 7-8 years of marriage, she still has not given birth to a boy or girl. Ye Zhen also rarely returned to Ye Manor. The two sisters had not seen each other for nearly two years. This time, her return was an embellishment, adding to the festivities, and to marry out Ye Ying.

Ye Zhen stroked the red brocade fabric on the table, her heart moved. "This is... Phoenix Cloth? Third Younger Sister is making her wedding dress?"

Ye Li nodded. She was not too critical of her wedding dress; so, she was not in a rush to make it. Otherwise, when her uncle brought this Pheonix Cloth, she would not know what to do with it. Afterall, the custom of Great Chu was that maidens could only have one wedding dress, making another one would be taboo.
