Ye Li patted her hand and smiled, "Yes, it will be better in the future."
"Li 'er … are you going to be the Empress?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Murong Ting quickly changed the topic and asked jokingly.
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Who said I'm going to be the Empress?" Murong Ting looked at her with a smile and said, "Prince Ding has defeated the Northern Tribes, Mo Jingli, and Jhennam Of Gojoseon. Isn't it time to ascend the throne? Li 'er, who will be the Empress if not you? We won't laugh at you. It's so glorious to have a close friend who's going to be the Empress. "
Ye Li smiled, "Then I'll have to disappoint you. I won't be the Empress for the time being."
"Why?" Murong Ting was confused. If Prince Ding became the Emperor and Li 'er wasn't the Empress, the whole world wouldn't agree.
Hua Tian Xiang rolled her eyes and said, "That must be because Prince Ding doesn't plan to ascend the throne. But Li 'er … Prince Ding really … "Ye Li smiled helplessly. It seemed that Mo Xiuyao's ascension was indeed what everyone wanted. Even ladies like Hua Tianxiang and Murong Ting didn't believe it.
After receiving Ye Li's affirmation, everyone was silent for a while. Murong Ting sighed and looked at Ye Li, "Actually, there are benefits to Prince Ding not ascending the throne. These days, I've heard many people planning how to send their daughters into the palace to be concubines. Zheng 'er, there are many people who want to use the Xu family's connections, right? "
Qin Zheng nodded silently. These days, there were indeed many people who came to the Xu family's door to curry favor. After all, although Princess Ding's surname was Ye, the Prince Ding Mansion clearly only recognized the Xu family as Princess Ding's relatives. However, Ye Li had just returned. The Xu family didn't want to upset Ye Li, so they didn't tell her.
In fact, this kind of thing was expected. In the past, the Prince Ding Mansion had not yet been stabilized. When they were fighting for the world, the situation was constantly changing. It could be said that anything was possible. Naturally, no one cared whether Prince Ding married a wife or a courtyard full of beautiful wives and concubines. Even if Prince Ding didn't want to marry her, it could only be said that Prince Ding was proud and didn't care about nepotism. However, once the world was settled, whether it was for the sake of etiquette, the benefits of the nobles, or for the sake of balancing the powers, the expansion of the Six Palaces was imperative. No matter how powerful Mo Xiuyao was, it was impossible for him to kill all the officials who opposed him. This vast empire could not be supported by the Xu family alone. These people understood this point, so they took it for granted that once Mo Xiuyao ascended the throne, he would inevitably take in concubines like the previous Prince Ding. In history, it wasn't that there were no examples of emperors and empresses being deeply in love with each other. However, once they ascended the throne, which emperor didn't have three palaces and six courtyards?
"Li 'er …" Qin Zheng looked at Ye Li with some worry.
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Xiuyao will take care of these problems."
Murong Ting was a little worried and said, "Prince Ding …" It wasn't that she didn't believe in Prince Ding's character. Murong Ting was very envious of how Prince Ding and Li 'er had been together for so many years. However, the position of emperor often meant that there were countless unavoidable and unavoidable choices.
Ye Li said softly, "I believe in him. No matter what happens, we will stand together and face it. "
Seeing that Ye Li was so calm, Murong Ting also relaxed and nodded heavily, "No matter what, Li 'er, we will support you."
"Thank you." Ye Li smiled.
"Niang niang …" The little princess in Murong Ting's arms wriggled her small body and reached out her small hand to Ye Li. Ye Li had no choice but to hand Lin 'er to Qin Zheng and take Xin' er into her arms. She smiled and said, "Xin 'er, what's wrong?"
Murong Ting looked at Xin 'er sitting in Ye Li's arms with a big smile on her tender little face. She couldn't help but say sourly, "Aunt Xu is right, you really have no conscience. Before your mother came back, Aunt Murong played with you every day. Now that your mother is back, she doesn't want me anymore. "
"Aunt … Niang niang …" The little princess smiled even more happily in Ye Li's arms, completely not understanding Murong Ting's complaints.
Hua Tian Xiang held Lin 'er and teased him while thoughtfully saying, "Lin' er, Prince Ding is not willing to ascend the throne because of this, right?" It had to be said that Hua Tian Xiang, who was born in a meritorious family, had a clearer understanding of many things than Qin Zheng and Murong Ting.
Ye Li was startled and said with a smile, "He said he doesn't want to attend court."
Everyone was speechless. What kind of reason was this?
"Reporting to Princess, Young Master Qing Chen invites Princess to the study." Outside the door, a guard hurriedly reported.
Hearing this, Ye Li raised her eyebrows. She immediately heard the difference. Mo Xiuyao was also in the study at this time. Why was it not Prince Qing Chen who invited her, but Young Master Qing Chen? "What happened?"
The guard looked at Ye Li awkwardly and said, "Prince … Prince Qing Chen is furious in the study. Young Master Qing Chen invites Princess to take a look. "
"I know, you can go." Ye Li sighed. She stood up and called Xin 'er into Qin Zheng's arms and said with a smile, "I'll be back soon." The little princess babbled and grabbed Ye Li's hair and refused to let go. Ye Li helplessly frowned, shook her head and said with a smile, "Forget it, I'll take you with me. Xin 'er also misses Imperial Father, right? "
"Li 'er, leave Xin' er to me." Qin Zheng said. Although she had never seen Prince Ding get angry, she had heard of it. She didn't want to scare the child. Moreover, Qin Zheng had a rough idea of why Prince Ding got angry. She said softly, "Don't mind what others say."
Ye Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen." After a while, she finally persuaded the little princess to let go. Ye Li went in and changed her clothes before walking in the direction of the study.
