Chapter 22 The pomp of the emperor's sister-in-law (2)
The maid's thoughts were far less complicated than those of Yao's, but she just felt that Princess Yiyang's ostentation was sufficient.
The dessert box alone is different from other people's boxes. It looks more elegant than the lady's dressing box.
Yao picked up a piece of mince cake and looked at it, feeling that his heart was bleeding.
How can it be possible that snacks bought with tens of thousands of silver are not rare?!
This is the fundamental reason for chasing power and position.
In order to please the noble man, they spent all their money and racked their brains. They were worried that they would not be able to deliver the gift, and they were even more worried that the noble man would not like it.
And what about others?
Handing out a few snacks, they all felt grateful and happy.
"Madam, why don't you try it?" the maid suggested.
"That's all." Mrs. Yao put the mince cake back to its original place: "Put it away first and wait until you want to eat it."
The maid closed the lid.
"Go and iron the dark green dress I just made last month and wear it to the banquet tomorrow."
"Yes." The maid held the box and walked out.

Early the next morning, the Quail Garden became lively.
Xiao Bi deliberately dressed up carefully, and her clothes and jewelry were all extremely luxurious.
To match her outfit, the style of Quanquanyuan also changed.
The flowers and plants were replaced with the most expensive ones, and the furnishings in the house were basically replaced with those given by the emperor.
It is truly magnificent and dazzling.
Hua Xiaohan felt dizzy and dragged Xiao Bi to a corner of the garden.
"Hey, your arrogance...did you empty out all the items from the bottom of the box?"
In fact, Xiao Bi has long since stopped watching.
This was clearly a proper show off of wealth, and it brought her down, Master Xiao Jiu, by several levels.
"Alas -" she sighed: "Isn't this just to confuse the enemy? If I want others to lower their guard, I have to be a fool first.
My identity is here, and I have always had a reputation for being domineering and flamboyant, which in the eyes of some people is equivalent to being stupid with too much money."
Hua Xiaohan was amused by her.
"I'm really impressed by you. I thought you weren't good at fighting in the house, but in fact, no one can play tricks on you better than you!"
Xiao Bi smiled and said: "I have no problem at all here, but you, please stop acting later."
"I know, I know..." Hua Xiaohan dragged her back to the original place.
The two chatted for a quarter of an hour, and the female members of the Huan family arrived one after another.
Since marrying into the Huan family, Xiao Bi has been lukewarm towards the female relatives, and has never invited anyone to Quanquan Garden.
Therefore, except for Hua Xiaohan and Huan Qiong who brought me fruits to her, including the old lady Xu, no other female family members of the Huan family have ever set foot in Xiao Bi's yard.
In order to have a clear idea, Mrs. Yao carefully questioned her daughter last night and got a general understanding of the situation in Quanquanyuan.
But today, the mother and daughter walked into the courtyard gate and were still stunned.
Yao's heart began to bleed again.
She has also seen wealth and splendor.
Not to mention the Huan family, the old residence of the Yao family was also the envy of countless people.
But in her more than thirty years of life, she has never seen anyone show off their wealth to this extent.
Are you saying she is tacky?
No, no, no, this is completely different from those two golden axes.
How could an object given by the emperor be tacky?
At the beginning, the Yao family's old house also had several royal ornaments, which were locked in the warehouse on weekdays. They were only displayed during New Years and holidays. Everyone had to pay homage to them, so how could they dare to touch them?
The mother and daughter followed the maid who led the way into the main room, and were almost speechless along the way.
It wasn't until he met Xiao Wei and Hua Xiaohan and sat down on a chair next to him that Yao's mind finally regained its clarity.
Seeing that Huan Qiong was still a little dazed, and even the few auras he had had disappeared, Yao's chest was really tight.
Qiong'er is not a few years younger than Princess Yiyang and the Hua family. In terms of status, they are all legitimate daughters of noble families, so the difference is so huge.
What the eldest brother said is indeed true. If the children want to have a future, they cannot stay in Tianshui County all their lives. They should go to the capital to gain experience.
"Qiong'er..." She pushed Huan Qiong gently.
"Mother?" Huan Qiong turned his head and looked at her.
Seeing that Xiao Bi and Hua Xiaohan were talking to the old lady and had no time to pay attention to them for the time being, Yao said: "You are really a kid. Haven't you come here often recently? Why are you still like this?"
Huan Qiong has always been a little afraid of Xiao Bi, how dare he act arrogantly on her territory.
She said with a hint of grievance: "Mom, I have been here several times, but the original decoration here was not like this."
Mr. Yao lowered his voice and said, "What's so strange about this? It's natural to rearrange the room when hosting a banquet.
What's more, the princess has a distinguished status and has countless good things in her hands. Even changing the decorations three times a day is normal.
You are a girl from the princess's house. Although you cannot compare with the princess, you still have to learn some things and don't be as petty as your second aunt."
Huan Qiong pouted and looked at Xiao Bi who was talking to the old lady.
If possible, she would of course want to be like her second sister-in-law.
She was born into a noble family and received numerous dowries, so everyone who met her had to give her some face.
Other than others, she had been growing up under her grandmother's knees for thirteen years, and she had never seen her look like this before.
Not only that, the second brother is so outstanding and outstanding, and he never gives any girl a smile easily. How can he still be submissive in front of the second sister-in-law?

But is it really as easy as mother said?
The power of the County Duke's Mansion is indeed no worse than that of the Duke of Guo, and the military power held by my grandfather is not inferior to that of Duke Xiao.
The question is, can her father compare with the second sister-in-law’s father?
Her eldest brother is already a prince, but her eldest brother is not even a prince.
