"Prince Ding was there?" Xu Hongyan folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, ignoring Xu Qingyan, who was still waiting for him. He had to go back and study how to add more information to Prince Li. Sure enough, he was too idle to find trouble with Li 'er.
"Li 'er seemed to have talked with Prince Ding. They seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. "Xu Qingchen smiled faintly.
Xu Hongyu thought for a moment and waved his hand. "Your grandfather thinks highly of Prince Ding. Li 'er doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with the marriage. Qingchen, I'll leave the rest to you. "
Xu Qingchen nodded and smiled. "I understand. I've been away from the capital for many years and haven't seen Prince Ding for a long time. "
When Ye Li arrived at the Xu family, she found out that Xu Qingchen didn't just say that to brush off Madame Ye when he said that she needed to learn a lot of things. In fact, on the second day Ye Li stayed at the Xu family's residence, Second Aunt personally asked Duchess Hua to teach her how to manage the household and how to interact with the nobles. In addition, an old maid from the palace taught Ye Li the etiquette and rules of the palace. Every afternoon, Xu Hongyu would personally explain some strategies to Ye Li, and then Xu Qingchen would teach her how to appreciate antiques and treasures. He would also give her a detailed breakdown of the various powers in the capital. Ye Li had always thought that she had lived longer than others, so she should have learned a lot. Now she knew that in the eyes of her uncles and cousins in the Xu family, she was still far from being an excellent lady. Thus, Ye Li began to take all sorts of exams, just like how she did in her previous life. She strived to memorize as much knowledge as possible from her uncle's teachings within a short span of a month.
"Miss, Miss Qin is here." Ye Li was sitting in the pavilion playing chess with Xu Qingbai. Xu Qingyan was watching from the side. Qing Shuang came in to report. These days, not only was Ye Li forced to learn, but Qing Shuang and Qing Xia who came with her were also taught by Mother Lin. Although it had only been a short time, Qing Shuang had become much more mature than before.
Xu Qingyan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Eh? My future second sister-in-law? "
Xu Qingbai put down the chess piece and smiled at Ye Li. "Since there are guests here, let's continue tomorrow."
Ye Li was more than happy to oblige. Compared to Go, she actually preferred Chinese chess. From Ye Li's point of view, Go was a game that placed a lot of emphasis on feelings. It required a macro strategy, a silent strategy, and mutual infiltration. Chess, on the other hand, was much faster. Horses and spears could be swung, and weapons could be exchanged. In Ye Li's heart, it was still the same as it was in her previous life. She liked the feeling of pleasure even more. As Xu Qingbai put down his pieces, Ye Li raised her head and smiled. "I'm not good at playing Go. I'm afraid that Fourth Brother has already lost his patience, right?" Xu Qingbai stood up and shook his head with a smile. "Compared to Xiao Wu, I'd rather play with you." Xu Xiao Wu was the Xu family's number one Go addict — Go Idiot. He was terrible at playing Go, but he was still obsessed with it. It was a pity that even the servants in the Xu family disdained to play Go with him. Hearing Xu Qingbai's words, Xu Qingyan looked at Ye Li with a mournful expression. Ye Li couldn't help but twitch her mouth. She really didn't know if Fourth Brother was praising her or insulting her.
Qin Zheng was quickly invited in, and Xu Qingbai also took Xu Qingyan out.
"Li 'er, it seems like you're doing well in the Xu family?" Qin Zheng stood outside the pavilion and smiled at Ye Li.
Ye Li's face was ashen as she pulled Qin Zheng in. "I never knew that I still had so many things to learn."
Qin Zheng covered her mouth and snickered. "Aunt Ye passed away early, so you naturally have more to learn. Which one of us didn't grow up from elementary school? Moreover, you're not marrying into an ordinary family, but into the Ding Royal Estate. You can't blame Uncle Xu and the rest for being so meticulous. " Ye Li thought of the two military strategy books that she still had in her study and couldn't help but frown. Those who didn't know would think that she wasn't getting married but going to war. However, compared to the books that Mother Lin and the wet nurse brought, Ye Li wisely chose the more practical and interesting military strategy books.
"Hehe, let's not talk about this. Has my biological sister seen my second brother? "Ye Li asked Qin Zheng with a smile.
Qin Zheng was slightly surprised and glared at Ye Li before saying in a low voice, "Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master have both gone out."
Ye Li sighed regretfully. That meant that she hadn't seen them. After thinking about it, she leaned over to Qin Zheng's side and laughed softly. "It's okay, they will come back."
Looking at her meaningful smile, Qin Zheng's face turned even redder. She was so angry that she reached out to pinch her. Ye Li hurriedly begged for mercy while dodging. "Aiya, Sister Qin, I was wrong … I know I was wrong … have mercy …" Qin Zheng glared at her fiercely again before saying, "You girl! You … why didn't you feel anything when you saw Prince Ding that day … "Ye Li's calm performance that day had left a deep impression on Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng compared her unsettled mood and couldn't help but feel depressed and uneasy.
Ye Li touched her nose in embarrassment. How could she have the nerve to tell the young girl in front of her that she was already past the age of blushing when facing a handsome guy?
"Cough, cough, about this … just be normal. It's nothing. It's everyone's first time meeting each other and no one is worse than the other. "Ye Li persuaded.
Qin Zheng angrily rolled her eyes at Ye Li. She finally understood that Ye Li, this weirdo, didn't understand the delicate and beautiful thoughts of a girl.
Ye Li cried out: Who doesn't understand …
While Ye Li was living a busy and happy life in the Xu family's residence, the Ye family and the Li Palace were in deep water. The matter of that day at Chu Xiang Pavilion spread through various channels in the capital. Of course, there were all kinds of conjectures from the masses. There were even people in the gambling houses who were betting on when Li Wang would abandon Fourth Young Miss Ye again. The news of Li Wang and Princess Xi Xia's affair also inexplicably spread: The Princess of Nan Zhao and the Prince of Da Chu State fell in love at first sight, but because of their respective identities, they separated. The Princess's old love was hard to forget, but the lover who came from thousands of miles away already had another beauty in his arms … Such a sad love tragedy, it was almost written into a storybook and sung in the teahouses and wine shops. Because of this, Ye Ying found Mo Jingli to complain tearfully. It just so happened that Mo Jingli was in a terrible fix and the two parted on bad terms. As a result, the rumors became even more turbulent.
"Prince, Imperial Concubine Dowager invites you in."
Mo Jingli stepped into the palace with a gloomy expression. The steward who had been waiting for a long time quickly came forward to report.
Mo Jingli nodded. He was originally going to return to his own place, but he turned and walked towards Xian Zhao Grand Concubine's courtyard.
"Mufei."
Xian Zhao Grand Concubine supported her forehead as she sat on the soft couch, her expression somewhat ugly. Seeing Mo Jingli come in, she forced out a smile and said: "Li 'er is here. Come and sit."
"Does Mufei have any orders?" Mo Jingli walked to the seat below the Imperial Concubine and asked.
The Imperial Concubine shook her head and said: "Mufei just wants to ask you how things are going. Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, if something happens again, it will not look good for the Emperor. "Mo Jingli said in a deep voice:" Mufei, don't worry. It's just some rumors, nothing will happen. " Xian Zhao Grand Concubine frowned and said: "Originally, Mufei did not agree to you marrying Ye Ying. But seeing that she is Ye Zhaoyi's younger sister, I endured it. Now, things had become so unseemly. Can she still hold up the Li Palace's face in the future? " Mo Jingli's cold eyes flashed with a trace of light and said respectfully: "She is not sensible. In the future, I will have to trouble Mufei to teach her well." Xian Zhao Grand Concubine waved her hand and said with some annoyance: "Forget it. Since things have come to this, I can only do this. Go and tell Ye Ying that these days, I will be well-behaved and wait for the wedding. Since I want to be the Li Palace's Wangfei, I need to be praised as a Wangfei. Especially … don't provoke her third sister! "
