"If Prince really feels tired, why don't you rest for a few days when you go to Nanzhao? In any case, Prince won't have anything to do in Nanzhao. " When Xu Qingchen finally finished speaking, she glanced at Mo Xiuyao's indignant expression before adding leisurely.
"Wife, it's not that your husband isn't considerate and doesn't want to accompany you to relax. It's just that … Eldest Brother-in-law is too fierce. Wife, you have to make a decision for your husband. "Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li plaintively. Ye Li looked amusedly at Mo Xiuyao, who didn't look old at all with his snow-white hair. He was clearly a man in his early thirties, but he looked younger than when they first met. "Okay, husband, don't be sad. Let's go to Nanzhao and play for a few more days. Leave everything to Eldest Brother and the others. "
Hearing this, Mo Xiuyao glanced provocatively at Xu Qingchen. Xu Qingchen pretended not to see. She looked up at the sky and said indifferently, "Li 'er, it's okay to spoil your husband, but spoiling him too much will easily damage your brain. Eldest Brother, your maternal grandfather, and uncle will all be distressed. If others don't know, they'll think you gave birth to twins. Listen to Eldest Brother, this husband … should be wise and powerful. "Ye Li looked left and right. She wisely decided not to speak. In this world, it wasn't only men who found it difficult to be sandwiched between their wife and mother. It was also difficult for women to be sandwiched between their husband and eldest brother. She smiled gently, "Eldest Brother and Prince, take your time to chat. I seem to see that Qin Feng has something to say to me." After speaking, she didn't look at the two's expressions and walked down the mountain first.
Behind her, Xu Qingchen's smile was like a spring breeze. Mo Xiuyao lowered his brows in deep thought. Could it be that Li really did like I's wise and powerful appearance, so she left so quickly? Turning back to glance at a certain person who was like a banished immortal, Prince Ding sneered maliciously in his heart. Destroying the relationship between I and Li Li? If I don't marry you off as soon as possible, I I will be sorry for you and your family!
Young Master Qing Chen, who was smiling elegantly, shuddered for no reason. He couldn't help but raise his head to look at the cloudless sky.
Although there was still some time before Princess Anxi's wedding, they didn't have much time to prepare. Just as Xu Qingchen had said, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao still had a lot of things to deal with. Moreover, this trip to Nan Jiang would take at least a month. Prince Ding and Princess Consort were not around at the same time, so there were more things that needed to be accounted for. As expected, the moment he returned to the residence, Mo Xiuyao was invited to the study by Xu Hongyu, who had been waiting for him.
She smiled as she watched Mo Xiuyao leave the study. When Ye Li returned to her courtyard, she found that there was someone waiting for her.
"Eldest Aunt, why are you here? Is something the matter? " Seeing Ye Li come in, Madam Xu hurriedly got up. Ye Li went over to help Madam Xu sit down and said with a smile, "Aunt, if you have something to say, just sit down. There are no outsiders, why are you being so polite with me? "
"Did I disturb you by coming here?" Madam Xu asked worriedly. Although she was a woman of the inner courtyard, Madam Xu knew that her niece, as Princess Ding, was different from other women of the inner courtyard and even other Princess Consorts. However, in the hearts of the people in the northwest, Princess Ding's name was almost as famous as Prince Ding's. For example, Prince Ding's subordinates and even the generals of the Mohist army were all obedient to Ye Li. Ye Li said with a smile, "Aunt, don't say that. I usually help out and don't have time to visit you. Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt also don't come to visit me. I know that Eldest Aunt is spending all your time on my three brothers and doesn't care about me. "
Madam Xu couldn't help but laugh at Ye Li's teasing, but soon her eyebrows were dyed with worry again. She smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Your Second Aunt is really satisfied now that she has a grandson. She spends all her time on Rui 'er. But I'm really worried all day long. "
Ye Li understood and asked softly, "Is it because of Eldest Brother's matter?"
"Who else could it be other than him?" Madam Xu sighed, "In the blink of an eye, Qingchen is almost thirty years old, but he doesn't even have a girl he likes. Your eldest brother has never made anyone worry about him since he was young, but he is the most worrisome person in this matter. If I had known this, I would have followed your Second Uncle and arranged a child marriage for him. Regardless of whether it's good or bad, he should at least get me a wife. "Ye Li also sighed. Big Brother's matter was indeed worrying. Logically speaking, the Xu family was definitely an open-minded family. Except for Xu Qingze who was engaged to Qin Zheng when he was young, the other brothers didn't get engaged early. Naturally, this was so that they could carefully choose a daughter-in-law, lest their son marry a wife he didn't like or wasn't virtuous. Even Xu Qingchen, who was over twenty years old and hadn't married, the Xu family didn't force him. But now that he was about to turn thirty, it was no wonder that Madam Xu was anxious.
"Eldest Brother's standards are too high. There's nothing we can do if he doesn't like ordinary girls." Ye Li sighed softly. Not to mention Xu Qingchen himself, even Ye Li felt that there weren't many girls who could match up to her eldest brother. The only one who was somewhat interesting was Princess Anxi, but her eldest brother didn't like her.
"High standards?! Does he want to marry a fairy?! " Madam Xu couldn't help but wipe her tears and complain angrily, "Does he think he's so great just because people call him the First Young Master in the World? Does he think that all the women in the world can't enter his eyes? He's not even an ordinary person with two eyes and one nose! Look at him, not to mention that he's already so old. In another two years, which girl from a good family would be willing to marry someone who's so much older than her? Because he set a bad example, now your Second Uncle's Qingfeng, Qingbai, and Qingyan are all refusing to get married! It's all his fault as the eldest brother! " Ye Li sighed in her heart. Her eldest brother was like that. Even if he was forty, he wouldn't lack girls who would rush to marry him, let alone thirty.
Madam Xu was furious. Ye Li had to comfort her in a soft voice, saying, "Eldest Aunt, don't be angry with my eldest brother. He's the most filial. If he knew that you were so sad, he would be sad too. No one can be sure about fate. Maybe he'll meet a girl tomorrow and chase after her to marry him. "Although the possibility was almost zero. Ye Li couldn't imagine Xu Qingchen chasing after a girl to please.
"Eldest Aunt, do you have any plans?" Ye Li knew that Madam Xu wouldn't come here to complain to her.
Madam Xu nodded and said firmly, "I can't let him fool around anymore. Your Second Aunt plans to find a wife for Qingfeng. I've also found two girls for him. Think of a way for me to make him go back and meet those girls. He's so cunning. As soon as I mentioned it to him, he ran away. He's so busy today and so busy tomorrow. I don't go out often, so how can I catch him? "
Ye Li was suddenly happy. So Eldest Aunt wanted to set up a blind date for her eldest brother but couldn't find anyone? Tilting her head and thinking, Ye Li nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, Eldest Aunt. I'll let my eldest brother go back when the time comes."
Madam Xu was overjoyed, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
