Hearing this, everyone looked at Princess Xi Xia with even more unkind expressions. She had done something so shameless, yet she still dared to accuse Princess Ding first.
Princess Xi Xia froze. She didn't really hope to convict Ye Li just like this. She only hoped to stall for time to let her breathe. She didn't think that Ye Li would expose her lie right there and then. Princess Xi Xia, who didn't know what to do, could only cry bitterly, "Wu wu … It really has nothing to do with me …"
"Enough!" The silent Mo Jingli stared at Ye Li for a long time. He suddenly said in a low voice, "You don't need to force her anymore. I will take responsibility."
"Bang!" The old Prince slammed the table in anger. He glared at Mo Jingli, his face green and white. His finger trembled as he pointed at him, "Bastard! You'll take responsibility? What responsibility? What do you think you're doing? A man dares to take responsibility for his actions? " Mo Jingyi giggled as he walked up to support the old Prince. He giggled as he said, "Imperial Uncle, calm your anger. Li Wang probably forgot that Princess Xi Xia is Imperial Brother's Imperial Concubine Xia, our brother's sister-in-law. Calm your anger, calm your anger … "If he hadn't said anything, the old Prince wouldn't have been so angry. Now that he said this, the old Prince's anger reached another level," Bastard thing! What happened to your sense of propriety, justice, integrity, and honor? Forget it … I won't care about this matter. I can't care. You can do whatever you want. "In a fit of anger, the old Prince threw away his responsibility.
The Virtuous Concubine hurriedly comforted, "Prince, calm your anger. Jing Li is insensible, that's why he said such disgraceful words. As his uncle, Prince, please don't blame him. Your Majesty … Your Majesty … "
The old Prince glanced at her, softly snorting, "Insensible? He really is insensible. Isn't it because you've spoiled him? Look at the things he's done this year. Which one of them is something a normal person would do? I think that sooner or later, he will be able to pierce through the sky. " Ever since Mo Jingli insisted on breaking off the engagement, the old Prince had been very dissatisfied with this nephew of his. The engagement was bestowed by the late Emperor when he was still alive, and the other party was the granddaughter of the Xu family. As long as that Miss Ye didn't do anything serious, you should endure it no matter how dissatisfied you are. Now, it seemed that this Third Young Miss Ye was fine. On the contrary, it was the Fourth Young Miss Ye that he wanted to marry who was not presentable.
Old Concubine Xian Zhao hid the displeasure in her eyes and could only try her best to smile at the old Prince. The Emperor didn't need them to say anything. If they really let Mo Jingli pass by like this, the Emperor's anger would probably cause him to lose a layer of skin even if he didn't die.
When the old Prince finally put out the fire, he continued to ask, "Where did the messenger go? Don't tell me you don't remember what he looks like? Also, who brought Princess Xi Xia in? " A few days ago, there were rumors about Prince Li and Princess Xi Xia. Zhaoyang Princess was very polite. After the Emperor gave the decree, she kept Princess Xi Xia from going out. Even this time, Zhaoyang Princess didn't come to Mo Jingli's wedding. Then how did Princess Xi Xia come?
"I … … I … …" Princess Xi Xia said in a wronged voice, "When I came, the people at the door didn't stop me." She had come early and had come to the Li Palace many times before. Many people in the Li Palace knew her. So even though she didn't have an invitation, the people in the palace didn't stop her.
The steward of the Li Palace came in to report that he had found some spices used to liven things up in the room. The people in the room were speechless. Princess Xi Xia had come to the Li Palace by herself, but the servants of the Li Palace didn't report to the master and didn't know. And Mo Jingli didn't know what was going on. After hearing the message, he completely ignored the rules between men and women and came to where the womenfolk were resting. Then … …
This wasn't a coincidence, this was melodramatic. Ye Li silently said in her heart. It seemed that the beauty that the Emperor hadn't gotten was destined to fly away this time.
"Alright, wait for the Empress Dowager to come before dealing with it. Also, quickly send someone to inform Zhaoyang Princess to take Princess Xi Xia back! " The old Prince said impatiently. He turned around to look at Mo Xiuyao and added, "Xiuyao, what do you think?" Mo Xiuyao's smile was gentle and polite. "Prince is the elder. Everything will be decided by you." The other people also quickly expressed that they would follow the old Prince's lead.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was still very concerned about her youngest son. Before Zhaoyang Princess arrived, the Empress Dowager had already arrived. Of course, this was also because the Li Palace was the closest palace to the Imperial Palace. The Empress Dowager was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe. She angrily rushed in and said, "Aijia hasn't even left the palace and you've already sent someone to say that something has happened. What has happened on such a happy day? Haven't you lost enough face at the last wedding? "
On the side, Ye Ying's face paled. It was a pity that she didn't dare to face the Empress Dowager directly. She could only hide on the side and not make a sound.
Everyone stood up to greet her. The Empress Dowager sat down and listened to the old Prince and Xian Zhao taifei recount what had happened. Without waiting for the two to finish, the Empress Dowager was already furious. She fiercely scolded Mo Jingli. When the Empress Dowager scolded her son, she naturally didn't dare to interrupt and could only listen. A few madams who had nothing to do with this matter wished that they could bet their ears and secretly swore in their hearts that they would not come to the Li Palace again after a few days.
When the Empress Dowager finally finished venting her anger, Mo Jingli and Princess Xi Xia were kneeling on the ground, begging for forgiveness. The Empress Dowager looked at Mo Jingli for a long time. Her expression finally softened. She gave a long sigh and said to the old Prince, "Brother Wang, what do you think should be done?" The old Prince stroked his beard and said, "Since the Empress Dowager has graced us with her presence, this matter should naturally be decided by the Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager's expression was somewhat sorrowful as she sighed and said, "This matter … … really has damaged the Emperor's face. Even if aijia comes out to plead for leniency, I'm afraid it will be difficult to appease the Emperor's anger." The old Prince naturally understood what the Empress Dowager meant, "Speaking of which, Jing Li did such a shameful thing. It's because us uncles didn't discipline him properly. I and brother Wang will personally go to the palace to plead for Jing Li. We only hope that the Emperor will give I this face. "
The Empress Dowager smiled gratefully and said, "Brother Wang is the Emperor's most respected uncle. The Emperor will definitely not disrespect brother Wang. Li 'er, quickly thank your uncle. "
Mo Jingli said in a deep voice, "Jing Li thanks uncle. Thank you uncle Wang."
The old Prince gave a snort and didn't pay attention to him. Receiving the old Prince's promise, the Empress Dowager was naturally very satisfied. Even though the old Prince didn't care about court affairs, he had a lot of prestige among the imperial relatives. As long as he was willing to plead for leniency, most of the Princes would give him face. Even if the Emperor was angry, it wouldn't be good to punish him heavily. Xian Zhao taifei was also very satisfied. Looking at Mo Jingli and Princess Xi Xia, she asked in a quiet voice, "Empress Dowager jiejie, this Princess Xi Xia, what do you think … …"
The Empress Dowager furrowed her brows and said, "Aijia will go back and discuss with the Emperor. After a few days, we'll think of a way to let her enter the family." The Empress Dowager didn't hide these words from the noblewomen present. Princess Xi Xia's status was different. Unless she didn't need to see anyone for the rest of her life, this matter would spread sooner or later. Now that she had spoken, everyone present was smart and naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
