"Do you want to keep the child?" Ye Li frowned. Yaoji had said so much. If she still didn't understand what she meant, she would have lived in vain all these years. It was not that she was cruel, but in this era, not to mention Yaoji's identity, even an ordinary woman would have a hard time if she had an unmarried child, and it would be even worse for the child in the future.
Yaoji looked at her, and a touch of tenderness flashed across her beautiful face. She nodded and said, "Yes, this is my child. Princess, don't worry. Since I have said that I will cut off all ties with Mu Yang, I will never use this child to entangle with him in the future. After leaving the capital this time … I don't plan to come back. I can find a place where no one knows me and live incognito for the rest of my life. "
Ye Li shook her head and said, "I don't mean that. But have you ever thought about what to do after the child is born? What about your life in the future? Even if you raise the child alone, you will have enough money to spend. But what about after the child grows up? When the daughter gets married, which man doesn't need a clean family background for his future? Yaoji, this world is not tolerant of women. " In fact, she was talking about the distant future. In the near future, Yaoji, who was so beautiful and talented, couldn't hide in a remote place. In a prosperous city, it was even more difficult for a beautiful woman to survive alone.
Yaoji looked sad, and her eyes were full of sadness and helplessness. She stroked her abdomen with her jade-like hand and gritted her teeth, "I know all these, but … but this is my child …"
Ye Li was speechless. Women in this era were not as easy as those in her previous life who thought abortion was as easy as eating food. Even though Yaoji was a prostitute, she was still soft-hearted to her own child, let alone the child of her and her beloved man. With Yaoji's temperament, Mu Yang must love her very much if she was willing to give herself to him. Unfortunately, even such a woman could be irrational sometimes.
After a moment of silence, Yaoji raised her head and said to Ye Li, "Princess, I understand what you said. Thank you for your concern, but … I have decided about the child. I don't know about Qingcheng Lane … "
Ye Li sighed slightly and nodded, "I will buy Qingcheng Lane. Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more. Take care of yourself. I'll have someone send you the banknotes later. "
Yaoji said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Li gently shook her head. "Take care."
"Goodbye."
After seeing Yaoji off, Ye Li was still sitting in the parlor, lost in thought. She didn't even notice when Mo Xiuyao came in.
"Ah Li, what are you thinking about?" Mo Xiuyao asked with a smile.
Ye Li shook her head and told her about the purchase of Qingcheng Lane, but hid the fact that Yaoji was pregnant. Mo Xiuyao naturally wouldn't care about a brothel girl. He nodded and smiled, "Qing Cheng Lane is not a bad place. Even though Feng San often used Qing Cheng Lane to gather information, it belongs to someone else. He has to consider his relationship with Yaoji. We can buy it, but … we can't put it under the name of the Prince Ding Mansion. "Ye Li nodded. Originally, she didn't want the Prince Ding Mansion to buy it." I'll have Ming Xi handle it. "If it was put under Chu Junwei's name, it wouldn't attract too much attention or arouse suspicion. If someone investigated, they would find that Chu Junwei had a few shops in various places. The most profitable one was in Guang Ling city.
Mo Xiuyao naturally didn't care about such a small matter. He sat next to Ye Li and asked, "Did Yelu Ye fight with you today?"
Ye Li smiled faintly, "It was just a casual exchange. But this Prince Yelu doesn't seem like a Northern Tribes person. "
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said, "As a member of the imperial family, no matter if it's the Northern Tribes or the Da Chu State, they can't avoid fighting and scheming. For him to be able to stand out among the many sons of the King of the Northern Tribes, his scheming methods are naturally incomparable. But … to dare to be so presumptuous in the Prince Ding Mansion, I have underestimated him. I just don't know if he's prepared to offend I. "
Ye Li looked at Mo Xiuyao in surprise. She thought about it and immediately understood what he was thinking. She just smiled faintly and didn't try to persuade him, "The candidate for the political marriage has probably been decided. If it's not Princess Ronghua, it's Miss Liu. But I think Princess Ronghua has a higher chance. When the time comes, there will be more trouble. " In terms of status, Princess Ronghua was higher than Miss Liu. In terms of looks, Princess Ronghua was also one of the top beauties in the capital. Moreover, with the Liu family's current status, they probably wouldn't want to marry off a legitimate daughter. After all, even if she became the Crown Princess, she would still be far away from the Emperor. She wouldn't be of much help to the Liu family. What the Liu family needed now was to form alliances with various noble families through marriage. And Princess Ronghua was the beloved daughter of Princess Zhaoren. But so what? Princess Zhaoren couldn't even decide her own marriage, much less a daughter.
Mo Xiuyao calmly said, "They can do whatever they want. You don't need to care. If it really doesn't work, just push it to the one in the palace. If you're annoyed, you can go visit Imperial Aunt. We can leave the capital for a few days. "
Ye Li thought of the group of elites she had left in Black Wind Valley. She couldn't help but smile, "That's fine. In a few days, I'll be going out to do something."
Because Yelu Ye had accepted Ye Li's suggestion to secretly observe the candidates, Ye Li threw this matter to the side. As expected, two days later, when the Northern Tribes' envoy arrived in the capital, the results of Yelu Ye's selection were announced. In the end, Princess Ronghua was chosen for the political marriage. Princess Ronghua was obviously the most suitable one in terms of status, age, and personality. Although Princess Zhaoren went to the palace to plead with the Emperor on the same day, no one knew what Mo Jingqi said to her. Princess Zhaoren finally came out of the palace in a daze and didn't say anything. At that time, Princess Ronghua almost turned the capital upside down. In Princess Ronghua's eyes, Ye Li, the culprit who caused her to marry into a foreign family, naturally couldn't be let off. Unfortunately, King Ding's Mansion was heavily guarded. It wasn't a place that could be entered as one wished. At this time, Ye Li had already been leisurely relaxing in Great Elder Princess Xi Fu's courtyard outside the city.
Although Great Elder Princess Xi Fu was more than 70 years old, she was still in high spirits, perhaps because she paid attention to her daily maintenance and her excellent temperament. Compared with a year ago, she was no different. When she saw Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao come together, she beamed with joy. Great Elder Princess's enthusiasm made Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao feel a little guilty. After Mo Xiuyao's health improved, Ye Li went out for a long time, so they didn't go out of the city to visit Great Elder Princess. On the contrary, Great Elder Princess didn't forget to send them something during the New Year and other festivals. Although it wasn't anything valuable, it was a token of Great Elder Princess's kindness and love.
Great Elder Princess took Ye Li to sit in front of her. Looking at Mo Xiuyao who was standing aside, she drove him away, saying that she wanted to have a private chat with Ye Li. Mo Xiuyao had to turn around and leave, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing Mo Xiuyao leave, Great Elder Princess took Ye Li's hand and looked at her with a smile. Ye Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She felt that Great Elder Princess's eyes were a little creepy. "Imperial Aunt …"
