In Concentrated Fragrance Pavilion, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li sat opposite each other in a room by the window. It was rare for them to be so relaxed as they drank tea and chatted. From time to time, they would look out the window and see the crowds on the streets. It was a scene of prosperity. Ye Li felt extremely gratified and satisfied when she saw this. This city was only as prosperous and peaceful as it was now because of their hard work over the past five years. Just like the Northwest, all of them had worked together to protect this land and the people of this land. Looking at the man sitting opposite her, Ye Li's heart was filled with tenderness and sweetness. They were not only husband and wife, but they also walked side by side and relied on each other. They had the same ideals and responsibilities.
"What is Li thinking about that makes you so happy?" Mo Xiuyao put down his teacup and looked tenderly at his wife, who was smiling warmly and contentedly. Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Nothing, I just feel that the scene in front of me makes me feel very happy."
Following Ye Li's gaze, they saw a young couple setting up a stall to sell cosmetics on the streets. Although they were dressed plainly, their faces were filled with happy smiles. A family of three holding hands with their child walked down the street. The child pointed at a hawker selling tanghulu and asked for tanghulu. An old man in his sixties walked slowly through the crowd with steady steps. There were also many young scholars passing by. Everyone's face seemed to be blooming with a strange radiance and smile. Mo Xiuyao turned his head and said in a gentle but firm voice, "As long as we are here, they will always live this happy life."
Ye Li nodded and said softly, "Actually, the people don't want much. As long as they can live a peaceful life, eat well and wear warm clothes, they will be deeply grateful to you." Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Isn't the person the people of the Northwest most revered the I's Li Li? If it wasn't for Li Li, how could they live such a good life? "
It was Li who proposed the plan to open up the northwest to foreign trade. It was also Li's idea to reclaim land in the northern plains to grow food. Mo Xiuyao's words were not false flattery. Li Li had done too much for the Northwest and the Mohist army. All this time, Mo Xiuyao had been very glad that he had married such an amazing wife. Ye Li pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Prince is praising me. I'm just moving my mouth and writing. The ones who really need to do it are others." Mo Xiuyao smiled: "Although there are many things that many people can do, no one has ever thought of it. Therefore, Mr. Li should still take the credit. "
"Prince, Princess, Yaoji requests an audience."
"Come in." Mo Xiuyao frowned and said calmly. Yaoji pushed open the door and came in. Five years had passed. The once number one dancer of Chu had more mature charm and style. But after washing away her glamour, the present Yaoji was only wearing a plain dress and a jade hairpin. She had lost some of the pride of the number one dancer and had more of a peaceful presence.
Ye Li looked at the jasper lotus hairpin in Yaoji's hair. Her brows rose slightly and she said with a smile: "Long time no see, Yaoji seems to have become more beautiful." Yaoji smiled brightly and said: "Is Princess teasing me? How can I compare to Princess? You are the one who has become more elegant. "
Ye Li looked at her with a smile and said teasingly: "This jasper hairpin is very good. Ben fei thinks it looks familiar."
Yaoji couldn't help but uncomfortably touch the hairpin on her head and said: "This hairpin is very ordinary and the style is about the same." Ye Li shook her head and said with a smile: "That's not right. Don't look at how the jade hairpin is not of the highest quality. This jasper hairpin was passed down by the merchants of the Western Regions. There are only about three of them that can be found in the entire Li City. I kept a hibiscus hairpin and an orchid hairpin for the second madame of the Xu family. The last hairpin was begged by someone else. So … … "
Meeting Ye Li's teasing gaze, even Yaoji who had seen countless people couldn't help but blush. She hated the person who gave her the hairpin so much that her teeth itched. When that person gave her the hairpin, she naturally didn't want to accept it. But that person casually threw it away and said that he had no use for it and that he would throw it away if he didn't want it. She didn't think that this seemingly unremarkable hairpin had such a history.
Ye Li saw that her face was getting redder and redder. She knew that she shouldn't tease her anymore. If she ruined her subordinate's marriage, she would be hated for the rest of her life. Using the words of her previous life, she would be kicked by a horse if she ruined her marriage.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. What's the matter? "Ye Li asked with a serious expression. Yaoji saw that Ye Li was giving her a way out and was happy to change the topic. She quickly said, "The list of problematic students who came for the exam is here. Should we arrest them now?" Yaoji respectfully presented a list of names. She took it and looked at it before handing it to Ye Li. "It seems that Lei Zhenting and Mo Jingqi really think highly of us. They're taking advantage of every opportunity to send people to Li City. At least half of the people who came for the exam from Da Chu State and Xi Ling are their people. "Ye Li thought for a moment and said to Yaoji," Don't worry about them for now. We'll talk about it after the exam. I also want to see what kind of outstanding talents Jhennam Of Gojoseon and Mo Jingqi sent over. " If a large number of nobles went missing before the exam, it would be easy to be discovered and cause a commotion. But after the exam, it would be different. Even if someone went missing, most of them would just take it as a failure and leave quietly.
Yaoji agreed. She thought for a moment and said, "There's one more thing. Yaoji had already sent someone to report to Lord Mo Hua. Since the Prince and Princess Consort are here, I'll report to them first. I heard that the Chu capital is not very peaceful recently. The people in the restaurant downstairs heard this from the people who came from the Chu capital. "Mo Xiuyao frowned," Did they say what happened? " Yaoji shook her head and said, "The other party is not a high ranking official. They probably don't know much." Ye Li smiled, "It seems that our people in the Chu capital are not very useful." Mo Xiuyao was not surprised and said indifferently, "Mo Jingqi's suspicions are so strong that it makes one's hair stand on end. In addition, he was fooled by Tan Jizhi for nearly ten years. Now, I'm afraid that he thinks of everyone as a traitor. Even if it means hurting himself, he will pull out all the people around him. " Although the Prince Ding Mansion still had some hidden pawns in the palace, they were hidden very deeply. Unless it was a matter of life and death for the Prince Ding Mansion, they could not be easily used.
"It seems that everyone is tired of the peaceful days. Li, go back and choose a suitable person to go back to the capital to help Leng Haoyu. "Mo Xiuyao said with a cold smile.
Ye Li nodded. Yaoji, who was standing at the door, gritted her teeth and suddenly said, "Prince, Princess Consort, if you can trust me, Yaoji is willing to go to the capital."
"You?" Ye Li frowned, "But with your identity and the danger of going to the capital, have you really thought it through?" Yaoji nodded firmly, "Yaoji has thought it through. Although I have been in Glass City for the past few years, I have rarely shown my face. There are not many people in Glass City who can recognize me. In addition, Yaoji is no longer the Yaoji of the past. Not to mention other things, Yaoji still has the ability to protect myself. " Ye Li looked at her determined appearance and sighed helplessly, "You still can't let it go?" Yaoji forced a smile and said, "Maybe I can let it go after going back this time. Yaoji will not delay the Prince and Princess Consort's matter. I ask the Prince and Princess Consort to agree. "
