Qing Luan stood in front of Ye Li vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?"
The palace maid bowed and said, "This servant is Ye Zhaoyi's palace maid. Ye Zhaoyi invites Ding Wang Fei to Yaohua Palace for a chat."
Ye Yue was pregnant, so she did not attend the banquet in the evening. In the afternoon, she sent a palace maid to invite, but Ye Li declined her invitation on the spot. Ye Li naturally knew Ye Yue's thoughts, but even if they were sisters, she did not intend to let Ye Yue and the Ye family use her. The main reason was that Ye Yue's plans and ideas were too unreliable. If she was careful and knew her place, she might be able to give birth to the child safely and have someone to rely on in the future. Even if she had only seen her a few times, Ye Li still felt that the pregnant Ye Yue was not as pampered as the Ye family thought.
"This consort is a little tired today. Tell Ye Zhaoyi that if there is anything, this consort will go to the palace to pay respects in two days and then talk with her. Let's forget about it today. "
The palace maid looked a little anxious and said, "Forgive me, Wangfei. Zhaoyi Niangniang does have something urgent to discuss with Wangfei."
Ye Li said lightly, "Even if there is something urgent, I'm afraid it's useless to discuss it with this consort. By the way, Ye Zhaoyi's mother, Wang Furen, is also in the hall at this time. Why don't this consort ask someone to help you invite her out. What do you think? "
"Wangfei, Zhaoyi Niangniang only asks Wangfei to go and have an audience!" The palace maid said. When she said the word 'have an audience', there was a hint of coercion. Ye Li's face sank, and she sneered and said indifferently, "I don't know that a Zhaoyi needs I to go and have an audience with her in the middle of the night!" The word 'have an audience' was emphasized. The status of Ding Wang Fei was very honorable. Even in the palace, she only needed to bow to the Empress and Empress Dowager. The Gui Fei only received half a bow. Not to mention a mere Zhaoyi. If they really met, Ye Yue would have to bow to Ye Li to show respect to the Ding Wang Fu.
"This … Nubi misspoke, Wangfei, please forgive me. Ye Zhaoyi does have an urgent matter. Please, Wangfei, for the sake of Zhaoyi's sister, go there. "
Ye Li looked suspiciously at the palace maid and slowly said, "Speaking of which, this consort has been to Yaohua Palace before. You seem a little unfamiliar." The palace maid forced a smile and said, "This servant's appearance is average. Wang Fei might not remember me." Ye Li shook her head and said, "That's not right. This consort is sure that you are not one of Ye Zhaoyi's six senior palace maids and eight palace maids in the inner palace. Is it possible that Ye Zhaoyi will send a sweeping maid to invite this consort? "
"I …" The palace maid panicked and turned to leave. Ye Li winked at Qing Luan. Qing Luan stepped forward and effortlessly gave her a chop on the back of her neck. The palace maid's body went limp and fell to the ground.
"Princess Consort." Qing Yu frowned and looked up at Ye Li, waiting for instructions.
Ye Li frowned slightly and suddenly turned to look at the flowers on the side of the road, "Who is it?"
"Princess Ding." A slender figure came out. Under the moonlight, the enchanting face added a sense of calmness.
"Miss Yaoji." Ye Li said, "Why are you here?"
Yaoji smiled sweetly and said, "I don't dare to call myself Miss. Princess Ding can call me Yaoji."
Yaoji came forward and glanced at the palace maid who was unconscious on the ground. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Princess Ding, this is?" Ye Li smiled and said, "Didn't Miss Yaoji hear it just now? It's nothing. There are always a few strange things in the palace." She waved her hand and a black shadow appeared behind Ye Li like a ghost. "Princess Consort." Ye Li pointed to the palace maid on the ground and said, "Take her away. Don't scare her. "The black shadow nimbly picked her up and disappeared into the night after a few leaps.
"I heard from Feng San that Princess Ding is straightforward. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation." Yaoji smiled and said.
"Young Master Feng San has mentioned me to Miss?" She remembered that she wasn't familiar with the famous Young Master Feng San.
Yaoji covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes shining, "Feng San has a high opinion of Princess Consort. Yaoji has always admired his taste. It is a blessing of three lifetimes to see Princess Consort today. "
Ye Li lowered her eyes and smiled, "It is Yaoji's fortune to see Miss Yaoji dance."
"I will keep what happened just now a secret for Princess Consort." Yaoji blinked her eyes and asked with a bit of naughtiness on her enchanting face. Ye Li smiled and said, "Thank you. Why is Miss still here so late?" Yaoji sighed helplessly and said, "Some people and things are too annoying. I just want to find a place to hide. I didn't think I would be fated to meet Princess Consort. "
Ye Li understood. Yaoji was beautiful and skilled. There must be many people present who were lustful. But those who dared to pester in the Imperial Palace weren't simple characters. "How about I send someone to escort Miss out of the palace?"
Yaoji showed a grateful expression and said, "Thank you, Princess Consort."
"It's nothing." Turning back to give some orders to Qingyu, Ye Li bid farewell to Yaoji and returned to the hall filled with singing and dancing.
Mo Xiuyao saw her return and gave her a questioning look. Ye Li shook her head to express her helplessness. Walking to Mo Xiuyao's side, she sat down and told him about what happened in the Imperial Garden in a low voice. Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "I will send someone to investigate later. Li should stay with me tonight." Ye Li nodded indifferently. Only then did she realize that the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be stranger than when she left. The original singing and dancing had long stopped. Everyone's eyes were faintly looking in the direction of the envoys from West-Hill and Nanzhao. Even Ye Li's quiet entrance didn't attract much attention.
Hua Tianxiang gave Ye Li a strange smile and pointed her chin in the direction of West-Hill. Ye Li looked over and saw that Princess Lingyun of West-Hill was crying with red eyes. Today was obviously not Princess Lingyun's lucky day. She was crying again after such a short time.
"What's wrong?" Ye Li asked in a low voice.
Mo Xiuyao smiled coldly and said, "The Crown Prince of Jhennam Of Gojoseon said that West-Hill and Da Chu State wanted to marry. Before he finished … Princess Lingyun objected. In the end … the Emperor agreed to marry West-Hill, but Princess Lingyun wouldn't enter the palace. "
"And then?"
"Then Nanzhao sent the King of Nanzhao's letter of credence, expressing his willingness to marry Princess Xixia into Da Chu State."
"…"
"The Emperor's meaning is for Princess Xixia to enter the palace and Princess Lingyun to Prince Li."
Ye Li quickly glanced at Ye Ying, who was sitting beside Mo Jingli. As expected, she was staring at Princess Lingyun with a dark expression. On Nanzhao's side, Princess Xixia's expression was also very ugly. Mo Jingli's expression was also clearly ugly. He gloomily stared at the aggrieved Princess Lingyun. Ye Li looked thoughtfully at Mo Jingqi, who was clearly very satisfied with her arrangements. For a moment, she didn't understand what the Emperor was planning. Was it purely because Princess Lingyun had angered him that he was marrying her to Prince Li? But Princess Xixia had been in the Chu capital for several months. It was impossible that Mo Jingqi didn't know about the rumors about Princess Xixia and Mo Jingli.
