Chapter 228
Imperial Concubine Duan frowned.
At that moment, the female officer behind her cleverly suggested something.
She said frostily, "This lady, which family's treasure is she?"
Everyone's gaze turned towards Ye Qingli.
Their eyes widened at the same time.
The dress was not just shabby, it was very shabby!
She actually came to the grand palace feast in those?
This was simply disrespectful towards the royal family.
No wonder Imperial Concubine Duan disliked her.
Some people had begun to discuss it among themselves.
"Who the h.e.l.l is that girl? Why is she so bold?"
"She is the eldest young miss of the Ye family. She is that garbage that never had been taught by her parents since young!"
"No wonder at first glance she looks like a wild girl!"
The final a.n.a.lysis was that the Ye family was only a royal merchant and had no standards. The people did not care whether their words were heard by Ye Qingli.
At that moment, Madam Guo was ready to laugh and her mouth opened up like a flower blooming in her heart, but her face was trying its best to conceal it.
In her heart, she kept on shouting, you are just a little b.i.t.c.h!
You insisted that you want to come here, only to suffer instead?
It would be best to give you dozens of fierce board beatings!
It would kill you!
The female officer snorted coldly, "You have no manners partic.i.p.ating in this event, you even offended the court. You're still
Ye Qingli stood up freely and gave a bow towards Emperor Yun An.
She took the female official's words as the wind.
"My clothes today are a bit plain, but there is a reason for it. I would not scorn the court at random. Besides..."
She glanced up coldly.
"According to the court's law, is there any rule that restricts the dress code of the palace feast?"
The female officer sneered and was just about to answer but suddenly became speechless.
Neither of the laws made such a rule for the palace feast!
Unless it was the big formal imperial meeting or the annual ceremony of the celestial sacrifice ceremonial, there would be requirements for the dress code of men and women.
A banquet like today was an event for the royal family and the people. How could there be restrictions to the dress code?
In fact, most of the clothes that they wore were a display of their prosperity and fas.h.i.+on.
Ye Qingli said sternly, "I heard that the ancestors of this dynasty also started off as commoners and they wore rags. I did not expect that in your eyes, commoners are lower beings?"
She then continued, "You need to know that although the world is big, they are majority made up of farmers. Water can carry boats and they can even overturn boats. If you look down on civilians, you are looking down on the court!"
The maid did not expect her to be so eloquent, she was so pale that she could not speak.
Ye Qingli said as she closed in, "The emperor and the ladies at the top, they have not said a word. And you who are a female official dared to speak for them? What is your intention?"
The female officer finally couldn't help but kneel.
"Please spare my life!"
An imperial concubine below her with bright eyes and bright teeth dressed in a bright yellow palace dress said with a smile, "Oh, this little girl can talk quite well. But what she said does have some sense to it. Oh, sister Imperial Concubine Duan, your lady officer did babble. Is it the reason for negligence? You should pay more attention next time!"
Imperial Concubine Duan snorted softly.
The low ranked Imperial Concubine Ming had always been at odds with her.
This sentence clearly implied that she lacked disciplinary actions for her subordinates!
