Concubine Duan frowned.
At this time, the female officer behind him had already spoken cleverly.
She said with a frosty face: "Is this young lady a daughter of some house?"
Everyone's eyes turned towards her.
Then, these people's eyes widened at the same time.
Her clothes were not only shabby, they were even shabby!
Are you actually here to attend such a grand palace banquet?
This is simply a naked contempt for the royal family.
No wonder Concubine Duan was unhappy with her.
Some people have already begun to inquire privately.
"Who is that girl, and why are you so bold?"
"She is the eldest lady of the Ye family, the loser who has had no motherly upbringing since she was a child!"
"No wonder, at first glance she looks like an ignorant wild girl!"
In the final analysis, the Ye family was just an imperial businessman with no status. The words of those people reached Ye Qingli's ears without any scruples.
Mrs. Guo was already smiling in her heart at this time, but she was holding it back with a bitter look on her face.
But I kept shouting in my heart: You little bitch!
Are you going to suffer a lot this time if you rush to come?
I'd better give you dozens of boards!
I'll beat you to death!
The female officer snorted coldly: "You are so rude and contemptuous of the court. Get out of here!"
Ye Qingli stood up gracefully and saluted Emperor Yun'an on the steps.
He turned a deaf ear to the female officer.
"My clothes today are indeed a bit plain, but there is a reason for this. It is not a casual contempt for the court. Besides..."
She glanced up coldly.
"Does any of the laws of the imperial court stipulate any restrictions on clothing for palace banquets?"
The female officer sneered and was about to answer when she suddenly became speechless.
No article of the law has such provisions for palace banquets!
Unless it is a formal court meeting, or the annual Zhengdan ceremony to worship the heaven, there will be requirements on the dress of officials and married women.
A palace banquet like today's was a way for the emperor and the people to enjoy themselves together. Why are they restricted from wearing court clothes?
In fact, the clothes they wear are mostly costumed, luxurious and fancy.
Ye Qingli said sternly: "I heard that the Taizu of this dynasty also started from the common people. I didn't expect that in your eyes, the common people would become inferior?"
She gushed: "You must know that although the world is big, it is all made up of ordinary people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If you look down on the common people, you look down on the imperial court!"
The palace maid didn't expect that she was so eloquent, and she turned pale when she spoke and was speechless.
Ye Qingli pressed forward and said, "The emperor and all the empresses above have not spoken, but it is your turn as a palace maid to speak nonsense? What are your intentions?"
The female officer finally couldn't help but knelt down.
"My queen, please spare my life!"
Under Concubine Duan, a concubine wearing a bright yellow palace dress with bright eyes and white teeth said with a sweet smile: "Oh, this little girl is quite good at talking. But what she said is a little bit. It makes sense. Sister Duan Fei, you, the female official, are a bit outspoken. Is it also the reason for the usual neglect of teaching? Be careful next time!"
Concubine Duan snorted lightly.
The concubine Ming who was next in line had always been at odds with her.
This sentence clearly refers to her lack of discipline towards her servants!
