Even though she had already figured out many problems, Ye Li still felt shocked. Her father, who looked smooth, was actually really smooth, and was muddle-headed when it came to family matters, was actually a double agent?
"But, what is going on with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor?" Ye Li said.
Feng Zhiyao sneered and said, "What else can it be? Our Empress Dowager is known as a heroine of a generation, the Yao Shun of women. In the past, she helped the Emperor ascend the throne when he was young, but our Emperor was not someone to be trifled with. In less than three years, he took back all the power and respectfully asked the Empress Dowager to retire to the inner palace to enjoy her old age. Something like power … it is fine if you have not tasted it, but once you have tasted it, it is easy to not be able to stop. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager have not been on good terms for a long time. This is something that many of the nobles in Jing know. Even though the throne will not change, the person on the throne can change. "
"So, the one with the true ambition is not Mo Jingli, but the Empress Dowager?"
"Mo Jingli naturally has the ambition, but he does not have the opportunity. Now that he has the opportunity, why would he not cooperate? The Li Palace is his residence. Without his permission, even the Virtuous Zhao Dowager cannot do anything she wants. "
Ye Li was speechless. No wonder the Empress Dowager did not mind the brothers fighting. So she wanted her two sons to fight to the death?
"Power … is it really that important?"
Feng Zhiyao stilled and said with a dim expression, "It is probably very important to some people." After a moment of sadness, Feng Zhiyao quickly laughed again. He winked at Mo Xiuyao and said, "How about it, Prince? Since the two in the palace have started to play their cards, should we also play a game? Or … should we kill them all? "
"Kill them all?" Mo Xiuyao glanced at him, "Then you will clean it up? You will be responsible for killing inside and outside the palace. If there is a rebellion, you will be responsible? If the Northern Tribes invade, you will stop them? If Xi Ling also wants to participate, you will guard the border? "
Uh … Feng Zhiyao rubbed his nose awkwardly. As expected, it wasn't difficult to kill a few people. However, the consequences of killing those people were very troublesome.
Whether or not the Empress Dowager and her brother were secretly competing with each other was naturally not something that Ye Li could interfere with. However, whenever someone from the Ye Residence came to ask her to return, she would usually find an excuse to return. Although Minister Ye was dissatisfied with his daughter who was obviously out of his control, Ye Li's identity as Princess Ding was there. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't say or do anything. Actually, under normal circumstances, if the Empress Dowager and the two brothers Mo Jingli wanted to fight for the throne, no matter who it was, they would try to rope in Mo Xiuyao. However, on one hand, Mo Xiuyao was a useless person in the eyes of outsiders. On the other hand, Mo Jingqi probably wanted to get rid of the Ding King Residence as soon as possible. Therefore, the days in the Ding King Residence were still peaceful. No matter which side it was, they didn't expect Mo Xiuyao to stand on their side. Of course, they also believed that Mo Xiuyao wouldn't stand on the other side.
"Prince, Princess Consort, Miss Biao asks for an audience." Ye Li put down the needle and thread in her hand. She raised her head and asked curiously, "Miss Biao? Yang … Qianru? Why did she come to the main courtyard? "The Ding King Residence was very big, very big. Moreover, there were many places that one couldn't go to just because they wanted to. Therefore, even if there were two people who didn't make people feel comfortable living in the residence, Ye Li wouldn't be able to sense the existence of Side Consort Yang and Miss Biao under normal circumstances. Because ever since Mo Xiuyao moved to the main courtyard, the security of this courtyard had obviously been upgraded. Not to mention entering the main courtyard, without permission, they couldn't even get close to the outer courtyard. After being rebuffed twice and being reprimanded by Chief Steward Mo sent by Mo Xiuyao, Side Consort Yang didn't try to challenge the new Princess Consort Ding's authority anymore. Mo Xiuyao had always been good to her. Ye Li could obviously feel it. Not to mention that Mo Xiuyao had generously given her power when she had just married into the family, he had also clearly expressed his attitude towards her, the Princess Consort, in front of the servants in the residence. Otherwise, not to mention the Ding King Residence, even the servants of an ordinary family wouldn't be so easily tamed by a new daughter-in-law. Therefore … it was very important to have someone to support her. Especially when this person was the person with the highest authority in the residence.
"This servant doesn't know. However, Miss Biao has already been standing at the entrance of the outer courtyard for quite some time. That's why the guard outside asked someone to inform Princess Prince Consort. "Jing 'er, who came in to report, said. Because the Prince had instructed that outsiders were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard to disturb the Princess Consort, they would normally ask people to leave. However, Miss Biao, who had been easily dismissed the previous few times, wasn't willing to leave so easily today. The guards couldn't do anything to Miss Biao. After all, she was a guest. They could only ask Jing 'er, who was passing by, to come in and report.
"Prince, what do you think?" Ye Li tilted her head and asked Mo Xiuyao, who was sitting by the half-opened window and reading a book.
Mo Xiuyao didn't even look at her. He flipped a page of the book and said indifferently: "If Miss Li wants to see her, then let her come in. If she doesn't want to see her, then let someone send her back. Or … the Wang Residence has another courtyard outside the city. She can accompany Side Consort Yang there for a few years. "
Tsk … … Ye Li clicked her tongue. This man was truly heartless. Even though she hadn't seen Yang Qianru for a long time, but the few times they met, she had looked at him with tactful resentment and tenderness. He could actually say such cold and heartless words. But … … she liked it!
"Let her come in." Putting aside the clothes that were almost finished, Ye Li said with some vexation: "Side Consort Yang had mentioned to me before about finding a good marriage for Miss Biao, but I … …" She had never been a matchmaker before. Mo Xiuyao said indifferently: "Don't trouble yourself. You won't be able to find one."
"What do you mean?" What did he mean by she couldn't find one?
Mo Xiuyao said: "This matter was mentioned by Chief Steward Mo three years ago. However, neither side Consort Yang Qianru nor herself were satisfied with the candidate he proposed. You're not familiar with the capital. I don't think you can find a better candidate than the one Chief Steward Mo listed. "Ye Li couldn't help wiping her sweat. So Mo Xiuyao had also been a matchmaker before. But he had directly asked Chief Steward Mo to do it. She was really stupid to worry about whether she should attend more banquets. "Chief Steward Mo's people are too bad?" Mo Xiuyao looked up at her and said: "Chief Steward Mo listed the best candidates that could be found with her qualifications. Moreover, she's already seventeen. There are even fewer unmarried people around her age. " Not everyone was like Mo Xiuyao, Mo Jingli and Xu Qingchen who were over twenty and still unmarried. Even if they weren't, most people were already engaged.
"Then what should we do?" She couldn't really delay her life like this, right? And it wasn't that Ye Li was narrow-minded, but she really suspected that if this continued, it would become Mo Xiuyao's responsibility in the end.
"If she wants to marry, then let Chief Steward Mo send the list over. If she doesn't want it, then don't worry about it. If she's not married when she's eighteen, then send her to Wuyue Nunnery to accompany sister-in-law. "
Ye Li couldn't help but want to shed a tear for the affectionate Miss Yang. What was called being considerate? Just look at Mo Xiuyao's performance.
