"The Emperor will not allow Jingli to have any contact with Nanzhao. Even without Princess Lingyun, the Emperor will not marry Princess Xi Xia to him. " Seeming to understand Ye Li's doubts, Mo Xiuyao said faintly beside her, "Nanzhao is mostly barbarians. It is said that the country is small and the people are weak, but their customs are extremely valiant. It is only because there are too few people that it is difficult for them to have any influence. "Ye Li said softly," The Emperor does not wish for Li Wang to have any relationship with Nanzhao? But Xi Ling seems to be more powerful than Nanzhao. " Mo Xiuyao laughed softly, "Xi Ling and the Da Chu State are enemies. Unless Mo Jingli commits treason, Xi Ling will not give him any benefits. Besides … the Emperor does not wish for a prince with Xi Ling blood to appear among the imperial heirs. "
Ye Li suddenly understood and looked sympathetically at Mo Jingli. It seems that this younger brother of the Emperor did not make his older brother the Emperor feel at ease.
Mo Xiuyao laughed softly, "Li, your heart is too soft. There has never been a person without ambition in the Imperial Family. "
Ye Li was startled and carefully considered Mo Xiuyao's words. Looking at Mo Jingli, her gaze became more thoughtful. But … did Mo Jingli's brain really have the ability to think of such a complicated matter? Or was he pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?
Returning to the Ding Palace, Ye Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Spending half a day in the palace was more tiring than spending a month in total. After bidding farewell to Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li returned to her own courtyard. Mother Lin and Mother Wei immediately led people to welcome her. It was clear that what happened in the palace in the afternoon had already been sent back to the palace. The two mother servants worriedly scanned Ye Li from head to toe. Only after confirming that she was safe and sound did they relax. Ye Li had no choice but to ask for a midnight snack to fill her stomach. Mother Lin waved her hand and had someone bring over a bowl of chicken porridge that had obviously been prepared earlier. Ye Li looked at the chicken porridge in front of her, which was enough for three people. "Nanny, although I am very hungry, I can't eat so much all of a sudden."
Wei Mama glanced at her with dissatisfaction and said, "Princess, do you think you are the only one who is hungry?"
Ye Li blinked blankly. Qing Luan and the others had already gone down to eat.
Wei mama's face was full of disappointment as she stuffed the chicken porridge and the tray into her hands, saying: "Prince has gone to the study. Wang fei should send it over to eat with the Prince."
"This … There's no need for that. I'll get someone to pass it to Ah Jin. "
"My Lady!" Mother Lin sternly stared at Ye Li and said, "You are Prince's wife. How can you let someone else do something like delivering supper? Did Er Furen forget to call you a wife when you were in the Xu family? " Seeing Mother Lin's expression that was about to lecture her, Ye Li hurriedly picked up the porridge and said, "Nanny, I know. I'll send it over to Prince." Without waiting for Mother Lin to respond, she ran out with the chicken porridge. Ye Li felt that she had been wronged. The two nannies were very naggy, but compared to the nanny, Ye Li was more afraid of this Mother Lin who followed her mother. As long as she opened her mouth, she would quote the classics, explain the reasons, and lower her head to admit her mistake. A normal person would not be able to withstand this kind of verbal and mental attack.
Helplessly, she walked in the corridors of the wang fu with the midnight snack. The yahuan behind her also tactfully followed at a distance that was not too far or too close. Mo Xiuyao still lived in the courtyard he lived in before the wedding, right next to Ye Li's courtyard. So before Ye Li could finish cursing in her heart, she was already standing outside Mo Xiuyao's study. Just as she was about to knock, Mo Xiuyao's voice came from inside, "Is it Li? Come in. "
Pushing the door open, Mo Xiuyao was writing something under the candlelight. Seeing Ye Li come in, he raised his head to look at her and asked, "Why haven't you rested yet?"
Ye Li walked over and put the things in her hands to the side, asking, "Did I disturb you?"
Mo Xiuyao shook his head. Looking at the things on the table, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You came to deliver the midnight snack?"
For some reason, Ye Li's face became slightly hot. She pretended to be calm and asked, "What? I can't deliver the midnight snack to you? "
Mo Xiuyao shook his head and put down the pen in his hands, smiling, "I'm just curious why Li Li would take the initiative to deliver the midnight snack to me? En … … no wonder no one thought to send me food even though I've been back for so long. As expected, after marrying a wang fei, other people don't care. "Ye Li helplessly rolled her eyes at him and said," Are you going to eat or not? "Mo Xiuyao nodded," Wang fei personally delivered it, how can I not eat. "
The two sat down at the table. Ye Li took two bowls and poured a bowl of porridge for each of them. She first handed a bowl to Mo Xiuyao. Even though the two of them had eaten together almost every day, it was the first time they ate the midnight snack together. As they ate the porridge, Mo Xiuyao thought and said, "If you don't have anything to do tomorrow, how about accompanying me to see da sao?" Ye Li nodded and said, "It's been so long, we should go see da sao. I hope da sao won't blame us. "Mo Xiuyao shook his head," Da sao won't care about this. "
"Do I need to prepare anything?" Ye Li asked.
Mo Xiuyao shook his head, "We're just going to see da sao."
Thinking about that sister-in-law she had never met, Ye Li could only sigh inside. For a woman at her most beautiful age to let her life wither away, it really made people sigh.
"How did you deal with the palace maid tonight?" Thinking, Ye Li asked about the palace maid who had blocked the way in the palace. Mo Xiuyao said with a frown, "That wasn't a palace maid."
"She wasn't?" Ye Li was shocked. When had the Imperial Palace become a place where outsiders could come and go as they pleased? Was the Emperor able to sleep at night? Mo Xiuyao said with a smile, "She wasn't a palace maid registered in the palace, but that doesn't mean she isn't a member of the palace. There are some capable people in the palace who always have a few hidden cards in their hands. "
"But, that palace maid didn't seem to have any outstanding areas."
Mo Xiuyao said faintly, "Sometimes, it's people like this who don't have any outstanding areas that are the trump cards."
"Can't you find out who she is?"
"She's a death warrior." Mo Xiuyao said. Ye Li understood. If a death warrior failed the mission, they would die, so naturally, she couldn't find out anything.
"But, those who can have such a death warrior in the palace don't know. So, Li … if you must enter the palace in the future, remember to be careful. "
"I know." Ye Li nodded. She also didn't have the hobby of seeking death.
The previous Princess Ding Wen Shi didn't live in the Ding King's residence. As early as the second year after Mo Xiuwen's death, Wen Shi moved to the Wuyue Nunnery outside the city to cultivate. Mo Xiuwen's two concubines also moved with her. Ever since she moved to the Wuyue Nunnery, other than the anniversary of Mo Xiuwen's death every year, Wen Shi had never returned to the Ding King's residence. In the past few years, Mo Xiuyao had also been in seclusion because of many reasons, so although he respected this sister-in-law, he wasn't familiar with her.
Because she had obtained Mo Xiuyao's approval, Ye Li woke up early to do some training openly. Then, she accompanied Mo Xiuyao to have breakfast together. Both of them then took a carriage to the Wuyue Nunnery outside the city.
