The three bowed and retreated, leaving some space for the Prince and Wang Fei.
Seeing Mo Xiuyao come over, Ye Li looked with some embarrassment at the things in her hands and said, "Is Prince so idle? He's wandering around the room all day. " Mo Xiuyao smiled slightly and said, "He doesn't need to go to court and doesn't have anything to do. Naturally, he is idle. Li has been very busy these days. "Ye Li rolled her eyes at him in exasperation. Did he not see what she was busy with? The wheelchair stopped next to Ye Li. Mo Xiuyao said with a light laugh, "Li, don't be embarrassed. Even if your embroidery is not good, I will not laugh at you."
Very good! Ye Li angrily poked a needle on her clothing. He dared to say that her embroidery was not good. Even Second Aunt praised her embroidery. Tilting her head to look at Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li had a fake smile on her face, "No, my embroidery is not good. I don't dare to stain Prince's eyes. Get someone from the sewing room to sit so I don't have to worry. "
Mo Xiuyao smiled helplessly, "I mean that no matter what Li Li embroidery looks like, it is the best in I's eyes."
Ye Li snorted and ignored him. She turned around and went back to work. Mo Xiuyao sat silently at the side and looked at Ye Li's gradually focused expression. A warm smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Because the Li Palace had lost face during the previous wedding, the Virtuous Imperial Concubine was probably trying her best to regain her face this time. The ceremony of marrying an equal consort was as grand as marrying a di consort. But due to Princess Lingyun's status as a princess of a country, outsiders could not find fault with it. This made Ye Ying's already ugly face even more gloomy. On the day of the wedding, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao beat Li Wang Fei together. Mo Jingli personally stood at the door to welcome them. Ye Li habitually found that Mo Jingli still had a stiff face. There was no joy on his face. If it wasn't for his new red wedding robes, if it wasn't for his good looks, the guests passing by would have wondered if they should turn back home and change into black and white to attend the … wedding.
Now, Ye Li really sympathized with Ye Ying. Mo Jingli wasn't cold by nature, he was just used to pretending. If any man dared to show such a half-dead expression at her wedding, she would kick him to death no matter if it was her previous life or this life.
Indicating that Mo Jingli did not need to care about them, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li entered the Li Wang Fu with the steward of the fu. Mo Jingli did not have the time to care about them. Maybe it was to get back the face she had lost last time. Virtuous Consort Zhao not only made the wedding extravagant, she even invited the Empress Dowager to personally host her son's wedding. To be able to flatter the Empress Dowager, it was naturally a great opportunity to curry favor. Therefore, as long as the officials were in Jing City, regardless of whether they had received the invitation or not, they would think of ways to come and congratulate them. The Li Wang Fu was filled with guests and was as busy as a marketplace.
"What is it? What is Li thinking about? "Seeing Ye Li's strange and conflicted expression, Mo Xiuyao asked with a smile. Ye Li shook her head and said with a smile: "Nothing, I'm just curious. Does Li Wang have the same expression all year round? Isn't today a day of great joy? "If it was anyone else, they might have thought that she was dissatisfied with the marriage bestowed by the Emperor. Mo Xiuyao turned his head to look at Mo Xiuyao at the door and said with a smile: "Jingli has never liked to smile since he was young. Those who are familiar with him are used to it." Ye Li didn't really care about this issue. The wedding hadn't started yet, so the male guests and female guests were arranged separately. When they entered the residence, the stewards came forward to invite Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li to their respective places.
The steward of the Li Wang Fu led Ye Li into the inner fu. The female guests that had come to attend the wedding were all gathered in the garden of the Li Wang Fu. They were resting and chatting in the small pavilions in the garden. Passing through the garden where the noblewomen gathered in twos and threes, Ye Li was led to an elegant small pavilion on the east side of the garden. Inside, there were some women of high status or older. Virtuous Concubine Zhao brought Ye Ying to accompany them personally. Seeing Ye Ying's bitter expression and the dissatisfaction between the brows of the Virtuous Consort, Ye Li sighed in her heart. Ye Ying and Ye Yue were both women of Wang Shi. They were both beautiful. How could they be so different? It seemed that Old Madame Ye and Minister Ye's decision was right. Even if Ye Ying's appearance was better than Ye Yue's, with her personality, she would have been torn to pieces if she was sent to the palace.
"Greetings to Old Consort." Ye Li went forward to greet the Old Consort.
The Virtuous Consort was about to get up to greet her. Ye Li certainly would not let her get up. Without waiting for her to speak, she said with a smile: "So many people have arrived, but I am the latest. Old Consort, please don't blame me. " The Virtuous Consort moved her body and sat down firmly. She smiled proudly: "Not at all. Princess Ding coming to our Li Palace brings light to our humble dwelling. I wonder if Prince Ding … "Ye Li said with a smile:" Prince Ding is also here. He went outside first and will come to greet Old Consort later. " The Virtuous Consort praised Ye Li with a face full of smiles. Of course, the two people involved did not take these praises seriously. Although the Virtuous Consort was not young, she was of the same generation as Mo Xiuyao. She never expected the Prince of Ding to come and greet her in person.
After exchanging greetings, Ye Li glanced at the people sitting in the pavilion. Almost all of them were acquaintances. However, Zhao Yang Grand Princess, Zhao Ren Grand Princess, and Old Madame Hua had not arrived yet. The Southern Marquise sitting in front stood up and gave Ye Li her seat. Ye Li thanked her with a smile. The Southern Marquise was the mother-in-law of the eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Zhen. Ye Li had a good impression of this eldest sister's husband. She smiled and chatted with the Southern Marquise.
As she listened to the noblewomen casually talk about the gossip in the capital, Ye Li occasionally added a few words. Ye Li was puzzled to find that Ye Ying, who was sitting next to the Virtuous Consort, was almost completely silent. Sitting there all alone, she looked more like a beautiful puppet. Because of today, Ye Ying's dress was different from her usual elegant and refined appearance. She wore a bright red princess dress with gold peonies entwined around it. It made her look even more unnatural. It made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable just by looking at her. It had to be said that Ye Ying had been spoiled by Wang Shi to the point that she did not look like a legitimate daughter of a noble family at all. Wang Shi had spent all of Ye Ying's intelligence and time on learning the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing, and dancing. In fact, there were many noble ladies who did not know these things at all, or only picked one or two to learn. They had a good enough family background and did not have to worry about not being able to marry into a good family. It was better to have the reputation of being a talented girl. However, between the reputation of being a talented girl and the means of being in power, anyone would choose the latter.
"Speaking of which, Princess Ding and Ying 'er haven't had a good talk in a long time. It's not good for us old women to have the princess consort sit here with them. Ying 'er, accompany Princess Ding for a walk. " The Virtuous Consort sensed Ye Li's gaze on Ye Ying and did not make things difficult for her. She directly ordered Ye Ying. Ye Ying looked at Ye Li and pursed her lips as she stood up. Ye Li stood up and smiled at the Virtuous Consort, "Since that's the case, thank you for your consideration. Everyone, Ye Li will leave first. "
