Yelu Ye raised his eyebrows with interest and smiled at Ye Li, "Wangfei, long time no see. Wangfei's elegance is still the same."
Ye Li smiled and nodded, "Prince Yelu is also not to be outdone. This young lady is … …"
Without waiting for Yelu Ye to introduce her, Helian Huimin stood up and performed the Da Chu State's curtsy to Ye Li, smiling, "Little sister Helian Huimin greets Wangfei jiejie."
Ye Li slightly frowned and leaned to the side to avoid this curtsy, smiling, "Miss Helian can call me wangfei. Speaking of which, Miss Helian should be older than me by a few years. I can't afford to be called jiejie. "Ye Li finally saw Helian Huimin's appearance clearly. Because she was born from the Northern Tribes, Helian Huimin was much taller than the Da Chu State's women. However, her figure was exquisite, without the slightest hint of the sturdiness of the Northern Tribes' women. On the contrary, her facial features were quite delicate, with a bit of the Da Chu State's beauty. Only, she was dressed in the pink of the Northern Tribes' aristocratic attire. The smile on her face added a bit of valiance and formidableness. On the contrary, she was somewhat similar to Murong Ting. However, with a glance, Ye Li understood that this Helian Huimin was completely different from the unscheming Murong Ting. On the outside, the straightforward and bright appearance was only a disguise. Just by that pair of charming eyes that had been focused on her face, Ye Li knew that this unscheming appearance was only a cover-up in a situation where she still didn't know her background.
Hearing Ye Li's words, Helian Huimin was slightly surprised, but quickly reacted with a smile, "Wangfei jiejie may not know, but Huimin has already received the Da Chu State's Emperor's decree to marry into the Ding King's household in a few days. Although I don't know the rules of the Da Chu State, in our Northern Tribes, the first to enter the door is the eldest. Therefore, it is only right for me to call you jiejie. "
Ye Li was silent for a moment. She turned her head to look at Mo Xiuyao and said: "Prince, congratulations Prince, the Emperor has personally bestowed upon you a beauty. Is Prince happy?"
Mo Xiuyao hurriedly shook his head, "Wife, you've misunderstood. I have never received any marriage decree. Just a moment ago, I was still pondering whether or not Miss Helian had an engagement with Royal Father or Royal Brother. As such … Even though Imperial Father and Imperial Brother had passed away for a long time, the Ding Palace could still afford a ghost marriage. However, he would have to trouble his wife. I wonder … is Miss Helian I's concubine mother consort or … little princess sister-in-law? "
When these words came out, even someone as calm as Yelu Ye couldn't help but have a distorted expression. Although Northern Tribes women didn't care about trifles, Helian Huimin couldn't help but have an ugly expression on her face when she was teased by her own fiancé. What do you mean you've never received a marriage decree? The Emperor bestowed a marriage on the spot. He didn't even have time to write an imperial edict. In the end, Mo Xiuyao swaggered off without the slightest intention of giving the Emperor and the Northern Tribes any face. After that, he directly locked the person who delivered the imperial edict outside the door. Naturally, there was no marriage decree. Ye Li's clear eyes slightly raised. "Is that so?" Mo Xiuyao sternly said: "This husband's feelings for Miss Li can be seen by the heavens. My words are definitely not false. If I were to disregard my honor and marry Miss Helian, then I would be punished to be struck by lightning and have no descendants. "In any case, he absolutely wouldn't go to Helian Huimin. Naturally, there was no pressure in swearing an oath.
Hearing this, Ye Li's expression softened a bit. She softly said: "I believe you. What's the point of swearing an oath? Since that's the case, I'll let people prepare the wedding. However … in the end, is it Royal Father or Eldest Brother? Do you want me to ask Eldest Sister to come back? "Not to mention that she ruined Helian Huimin's reputation, the people of the Northern Tribes didn't care much about this. Moreover, she didn't intend to be polite to a woman who wanted to steal her man.
Mo Xiuyao was obviously very satisfied with Ye Li's cooperation. He turned his head to look at Yelu Ye, who was sitting to the side. He clearly wanted him to clarify whether the person Helian Huimin wanted to marry was the former Prince Ding, or the former Prince Ding. Yelu Ye's face was ashen. Mo Xiuyao had already linked marrying Helian Huimin with propriety, justice, integrity, and honor. It was obvious that he was determined to push Helian Huimin to a person who was already dead. If it really was as he wished, then they would suffer a double loss. Yelu Ye lightly snorted and said: "Prince Ding, I think you also understand the intentions of I and the Da Chu State's Emperor. Don't you think it's improper for you to pester endlessly like this?"
Mo Xiuyao was even more aggrieved than him. He lightly sighed and said: "Prince may not know, but I's ancestors taught me to never marry a woman from another country. Otherwise, I wouldn't be worthy of being a descendant of the Ding Palace. But for the friendship between our two countries, Imperial Father and Imperial Brother have already passed away, but they won't be affected by the rules of the Prince Ding Mansion. Isn't this the best of both worlds? "
Best of both worlds my ass! Yelu Ye couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"Prince, Huimin wholeheartedly admires Prince. Why does Prince humiliate me like this?" Helian Huimin stood up and looked at Mo Xiuyao with hidden bitterness.
Mo Xiuyao indifferently said: "I have no intention of humiliating Miss Helian."
Helian Huimin said: "Since that's the case, why does Prince repeatedly refuse? You and I are the Emperor of the Da Chu State. Although I, Helian Huimin, am not born into the imperial family, I am still a noble of the Northern Tribes. I have studied literature and martial arts since childhood. I ask myself that I won't humiliate the Prince. "
Mo Xiuyao looked at Helian Huimin, then lowered his head to look at Ye Li sitting next to him. He softly said: "I will only marry Miss Li in this life. What does Miss Helian's actions mean to I's beloved consort? "
The three people in the hall were startled. Helian Huimin looked at Ye Li with a complicated expression and said: "Prince, for the sake of Princess, you don't even care about the Da Chu State?"
Ye Li frowned and looked at Helian Huimin: "What is Miss Helian saying? Could it be that if our Prince doesn't marry Miss Helian, the Northern Tribes will send troops to invade our country?"
Helian Huimin naturally wouldn't mindlessly respond to such words. She only looked at Mo Xiuyao and said: "I heard that the Ding Palace has always been loyal to the imperial court. Could it be that Prince wants to disobey the imperial edict for the sake of Princess Ding? Prince, are you not afraid that the officials in the imperial court will think that Princess is someone who brings disaster to the country? "
Mo Xiuyao's face slightly darkened, as if he had finally put away the playful smile from before. He indifferently looked at Helian Huimin and said: "I see that Miss Helian's eloquence is not like that of a Northern Tribes person. Instead, it is like the people of our Da Chu State, able to speak eloquently. Miss Helian, I only want to ask you a question. "
Helian Huimin stared blankly. Even though she didn't understand why Prince Ding, who had always been gentle no matter what she said two days ago, would suddenly become angry, she still nodded and said: "Prince, please ask."
At the side, Yelu Ye frowned and somewhat vigilantly stared at Mo Xiuyao. He felt that whatever he said wouldn't be anything good.
Mo Xiuyao's gaze was cold as he stared at Helian Huimin's beautiful face until she turned her head away with a slight blush. Only then did he indifferently spit out a sentence: "Miss Helian, are you unable to get married?"
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became heavy. Helian Huimin's still red face was filled with unconcealable astonishment. No matter to an unmarried woman, this sentence was definitely a deep humiliation. Ye Li looked at Mo Xiuyao with some astonishment. She knew that Mo Xiuyao's temper wasn't good, but he would never deliberately humiliate a woman. Even that impudent Princess Lingyun from Xi Ling last year, he also didn't say such harsh words. But as a woman and a wife, Ye Li couldn't help but admit that when Mo Xiuyao treated Helian Huimin so heartlessly, a trace of sweetness emerged in her heart.
