"Prince Ding, Wangfei definitely won't be lost here at I's place. Could it be that you still don't believe in I? "Empress Hua looked at the two people walking together and couldn't help but smile. Looking at Ye Li's eyes, there was a bit of sighing and envy, so she teased the two with a smile. Mo Xiuyao and Hua Family's relationship was originally close. Obviously, Mo Xiuyao didn't have any ill feelings towards the Empress. He faintly smiled and said: "Li Li has never liked crowds. There are also no elders in our fu to teach her. It's inevitable that she doesn't know many things. I just happened to be idle today, so I accompanied her. Please don't blame the Empress. "Being so intimate in public made Ye Li look at Mo Xiuyao a bit uncomfortably. Mo Xiuyao's expression was as usual, still as gentle as jade. Seeing this, the noblewomen and young ladies present couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. For a moment, it wasn't known how many envious and jealous gazes were cast on Ye Li. Ye Li could clearly see Hua Tian Xiang, who was standing beside the Empress, gloating at her misfortune. She couldn't help but secretly glare at her.
"Even I feel honored that Prince Ding has followed Your Majesty here. However … … those who came today are all women. If Prince Ding stays here, I'm afraid they will feel embarrassed. " The Empress looked at the two with a smile that wasn't a smile and said: "Therefore, Prince Ding should go somewhere else. Don't disturb I's banquet." Sitting on the side, Zhaoyang Princess also smiled and said: "Empress is right. When Ding King fu's second gongzi appeared, more than half of the capital's young ladies lost their souls. Xiu Yao shouldn't stay here and attract attention. With the Empress and I here, are you still afraid that your wangfei will be harmed? "Zhaoyang Princess, who had always been a bit cold, was clearly in a good mood and actually started joking. The words that came out of her mouth made the young ladies present blush. They all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the outstanding figure standing in front of the Empress.
Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, Ye Li couldn't help but laugh in her heart. She looked at Mo Xiuyao and said softly, "If Prince has something to do, you can go do it. I'm not in the way. "
Mo Xiuyao nodded and said softly: "I'll go see His Majesty first. I'll wait for you to return to the fu together."
Ye Li nodded. Only then did Mo Xiuyao bid farewell to the Empress and Eldest Princess, turning to leave. Hua Tianxiang, who was standing beside the Empress, winked at Ye Li with a flirtatious look on her face. Being so lovey-dovey in public really made people hate them …
After sending off the eye-catching Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li sat down in the first empty seat next to the Empress. Opposite her, Eldest Princess Zhaoyang smiled kindly at her, but Princess Zhaoren and Princess Rong Hua were not so kind. In this regard, Ye Li was a little helpless. She didn't have any likes or dislikes for Princess Rong Hua, but this princess seemed to look down on her, Princess Ding. In the past, when Ye Ying was here, most of the time, Princess Rong Hua's firepower was concentrated on Ye Ying, but now that Ye Ying was gone, Princess Rong Hua's attention was obviously back to her. Looking at the look of disdain in her eyes, Ye Li laughed in her heart: Does this Princess Rong Hua know that a large part of her future may be in her hands?
"Imperial Concubine Yun has arrived! Wang Zhaorong has arrived! "Just as the Empress was about to speak, a sharp voice came from outside. The Empress couldn't help but frown. Obviously, she didn't like the people who came.
Not long after, two well-dressed women leisurely walked over. The woman in the lead had a charming appearance and an exquisite figure. There was a hint of seductiveness between her brows. Although the woman beside her only had a delicate and pretty appearance, her pair of slender phoenix eyes outlined a hint of enchanting intent. The two stepped forward and bowed, "These concubines greet the Empress." These two were the Emperor's favorite concubines. Imperial Concubine Yun was one of the four concubines. Everyone present, except for Ye Li and the two princesses, had to stand up and greet her. The Empress glanced at the two and faintly said: "You may rise. Why did Imperial Concubine Yun and Wang Zhaorong come?" Imperial Concubine Yun smiled and said: "This concubine has disturbed the Empress' mood. It's just that … This concubine and younger sister Wang heard that Princess Ding is also here today. This concubine has admired Princess Ding's reputation for a long time. Finally getting this opportunity, we asked the Emperor to come and greet Princess Ding. " Imperial Concubine Yun's words were said innocently, but she also pointed out to everyone that she came because of the Emperor's decree. Moreover, she specially came to see Princess Ding. Originally, when the Empress summoned a woman with a title, without an invitation, even concubines could not come before the age of 18. Her words not only washed away the accusation of looking down on the Empress, but also pointed out the Emperor's love for her.
"I don't dare to greet you. Ye Li greets Imperial Concubine Yun." Ye Li faintly smiled, but had no intention of standing up to greet her. The Yun family and the Wang family were Mo Jingqi's loyalists. The Empress was not trusted by Mo Jingqi. Noble Consort Liu had a cold personality. Mo Jingqi wanted to test Ye Li, so he naturally sent Imperial Concubine Yun.
Imperial Concubine Yun was slightly startled. She turned her head to look at Ye Li, who was sitting to the side. Most women always had some hostility towards women who were more outstanding than them. Before, Imperial Concubine Yun was not very favored. Naturally, she had not seen Princess Ding. However, these days, she had heard many things about Princess Ding. The Yun family was originally loyal to the Emperor. Now that the Emperor had given up on the Ye family and supported the Yun family, he also doted on Imperial Concubine Yun very much. Although Imperial Concubine Yun did not overestimate herself and want to provoke the Empress and Noble Consort Liu, she did not care about ordinary people. Therefore, Ye Li, who seemed to be very afraid of the Emperor, naturally paid more attention to her. Originally, Imperial Concubine Yun thought she would see a graceful and noble woman like the Empress or a beauty like Noble Consort Liu. However, when Imperial Concubine Yun turned her head, she saw a woman sitting to the right of the Empress wearing a light green dress with silver peony patterns. Her black hair was casually tied up, and there were two pearl tasseled hairpins in her hair. Compared to the beautiful clothes and exquisite makeup of the noblewomen present, she was more graceful and casual. It seemed that it was very difficult for people to connect her with the rumored woman who led two thousand Black Cloud Cavalry to guard the border city. It was even harder to imagine that Prince Ding seemed to dote on this Princess very much. Imperial Concubine Yun had also seen Su Zuidie. The Princess Ding in front of her was beautiful, but compared to the peerless Su Zuidie, she seemed to be lacking a bit.
"This is Princess Ding? Your Highness the Empress, can This Concubine sit with Princess Ding? This Concubine has admired Princess Ding's elegance for a long time. I really want to have a good chat with Princess. "Suppressing the confusion in her heart, Imperial Concubine Yun smiled brightly, making people unable to refuse. The Empress glanced at her and faintly said: "Since it's like this, you and Wang Zhaorong can sit with Princess Ding."
Imperial Concubine Yun's eyes flashed, but she still happily agreed. Pulling Wang Zhaorong, she sat down next to Ye Li. Although she was unwilling to sit next to Ye Li, she also knew that Princess Ding would not give her a seat. Or it could be said that even if Princess Ding really got up to give her a seat, she might not really dare to sit down.
The gathering between the noble ladies was more or less the same. It was just that there were many people with other things on their minds today. When most of the people had arrived, the Empress personally got up and led everyone to the Imperial Garden to admire the flowers. Sure enough, the Imperial Garden was filled with flowers. Although it was already the beginning of Summer, the scenery did not lose to Spring. The noble ladies sat in groups of twos and threes to chat and admire the flowers. Ye Li and the others with high statuses naturally followed the Empress. After walking around the garden, the Empress led everyone to a pavilion in the middle of the Imperial Garden to sit down. Only then did the Empress ask with a smile: "Princess Ding rarely comes to the palace. What do you think of the scenery in the palace?" Ye Li smiled and said: "It's naturally rich and graceful, just like a paradise." The Empress glanced at her and said: "You're also speaking pleasantries with I. Rich and graceful is true, but just like a paradise … … what kind of paradise would be like this?" Her tone was filled with irritation and indifference. Shaking her head, she said with a smile: "If it were up to me, it would be best to let nature take its course. The scenery in the palace is extremely beautiful, but with all these things gathered together, it is a bit dazzling. I have been to the Prince Ding Mansion before. I think it must be to Princess' liking? "
