Chapter 63: Ordinary Days After the Wedding (1)

In the early morning, Ye Li was sitting leisurely in front of the bronze mirror and let Qing Shuang have her way with her hair. Qing Shuang was very skillful and made Ye Li's dark hair into a lily bun. Qing Xia took out the jewelry box which was filled up and let Ye Li choose. Ye Li didn't have a choice. She looked herself up in the bronze mirror, frowned and said to Qing Shuang: "Couldn't you make an easier bun?"

Qing Shuang laughed up her sleeve and said: "Miss, you should be satisfied with this. Newlywed women are supposed to dress lavishly. This is the simplest one I could manage. You wouldn't bear those hairstyles that are popular among noble ladies of the capital. Your old hairstyles are meant for girls who haven't got married. Now you can't wear your hair like that any more. The jewelry is the set that Prince Ding has given you. You haven't worn it at all."

Ye Li nodded. She did like that set of magnolia jewelry made of green jade. It seemed that the jewelry wouldn't draw much attention to her either.

Qing Shuang smiled with closed lips. She brought the jewelry and put it on Ye Li's hair. She nodded and said in praise: "It seems that I know you the best, Miss..."

"What Miss?" Lin mama and Wei mama came in.

Lin mama glared at those maids and said: "From now on there's only Princess. Don't let those in this manor think that people around the Princess have no manners."

"Yes, mama. Us maids meet princess." The four girls stood in a line, bent their knees and showed their respect to Ye Li.

Wei mama had already drawn Ye Li towards her and asked Ye Li in a small voice in distress. Naturally, two mamas knew that the prince didn't rest in the nuptial room last night. Wei mama couldn't help but feel sorry for the miss who she had been caring for since she was a little girl. Ye Li comforted two mamas with smiles. The two didn't stop until they saw that there was indeed not a trace of distress on Ye Li face. They told themselves that their miss just arrived at Prince Ding's Manor and wasn't used to it yet. It was considerate for the prince to give her some time to get herself used to a new environment. But they still gave her a hint that she'd better consummate her marriage as soon as possible. After all, she was going to spend her life with the prince. Ye Li couldn't help herself and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. However, in the end she didn't say anything and left them to their misunderstandings.

"Prince Ding is here."

Mo Xiu Yao appeared outside the door and asked softly: "Ah Li, may I come in?"

Ye Li agreed, then Mo Xiu Yao left Ah Jin outside and rolled himself in in his wheelchair. He looked at Ye Li and asked: "Ah Li, did you have a good night of sleep?"

Ye Li nodded and smiled: "Yes. Well, you don't look so good yourself."

Once Mo Xiu Yao was in the room, Lin mama led the maids and went outside. When Ye Li noticed that they were all gone there wasn't anyone to serve tea either. She could only smile to Mo Xiu Yao, then she walked to the table and sat by it. There were indeed some signs of tiredness in Mo Xiu Yao's eyes. He waved his hand and said: "Last night I sent a few guests away and went to bed a bit late. It doesn't matter."

"Do we need to visit Princess Royal first? And our sister-in-law..." Prince Ding's Manor only had one descendent left, that was Mo Xiu Yao, but it didn't mean that there was nobody else in the family. The late Prince Ding, which was Mo Xiu Yao's elder brother, his legitimate wife Wen-shi was still living and in good health. Only that it was said she lived at the family hall for worshipping Buddha for she remained unmarried after the death of her husband. She didn't even show up at yesterday's wedding. A concubine of Mo Liu Fang, Mo Xiu Yao's father, was also alive. Besides... Ye Li didn't ask before but she was really curious about how many concubines Mo Xiu Yao had himself.
