Ye Li turned her head and said, "Let's go and see Grandmother."
Because there was no one in the Ding Palace who could be considered as Mo Xiuyao's elder, Mo Xiuyao specially invited two very famous elders from the capital to visit together. The one that Ye Li had met before was the Imperial College's Principal Su Zhe and the Empress's father, Old Duke Hua. These two could be considered as influential figures in the capital and also made Minister Ye feel proud. The long list of betrothal gifts in the Ding Palace reminded people of the last time when the Li Palace sent the betrothal gifts. Originally, it looked good but now, in comparison, it made people feel that the Li Palace was lacking in sincerity. Therefore, Ye Shangshu invited Old Lord Su, Old Duke Hua and Prince Ding to the study room with a smile. He inadvertently neglected Ye Ying and Mo Jingli who arrived at the same time.
"Li 'er pays respect to Grandmother. Greetings to Old Madame Hua and all the madams." When Ye Li stepped into Rong Le Hall, she saw Old Madame Ye and Old Madame Hua chatting happily. There were also some familiar madams below who joined in the fun. However, Mo Jingli, Ye Ying and Wang Shi sat at the side with ugly expressions. Wang Shi and Ye Ying obviously could not get a word in and Mo Jingli's expression probably made people not dare to talk to him.
"Li 'er, come over quickly. Everyone, take a look at my granddaughter." Old Madame Ye intimately waved at Ye Li, her turbid eyes were filled with a kind smile. It was as if Ye Li was her most precious granddaughter. Ye Li obediently went forward, "Grandmother." Old Madame Hua pulled Ye Li to sit beside her and smiled, "Old Madame, don't blame this old one for snatching your granddaughter. I like this Third Miss very much. No wonder that girl, Tian Xiang, has been nagging all day to come and play with Third Miss. "Ye Li smiled and said," Old Madame is overpraising me. Li 'er also misses Tian Xiang very much. "Old Madame Hua nodded repeatedly and said," Good child, you really have your mother's demeanor. No wonder Xiuyao, that child, refused to go out for so many years, but this time, he specially came to invite our family's old man to propose marriage. "
Ye Li lowered her head. Her beautiful face was dyed with a faint blush. She chuckled softly, "Old Duke Hua hasn't been involved in worldly affairs for so many years. Li 'er is truly …"
Old Madame Hua nodded secretly. Even if she was shy, she could still be dignified and appropriate. She was not as delicate as the average girl from a noble family. Only this kind of woman would be able to hold such a big family business like the Ding King's residence. She patted Ye Li amiably and said with a smile, "What's the big deal? The old man had nothing to do now. Naturally, he wanted to worry about the marriage of the younger generation. Xiuyao was also watched by our old man as he grew up … "Seemingly thinking of Mo Xiuyao's current situation, Old Madame Hua could not help but sigh softly. She instructed Ye Li," In the future, you will be a family. You must live well … "
Ye Li pretended to be shy and silently agreed. In her heart, the word 'embarrassed' had already been placed.
Seemingly thinking of the coldness of the other newly married couple, Old Madame Hua turned to Mo Jingli and said with a smile, "This old one has yet to congratulate Li Wang and Li Wangfei. The Empress Dowager and Xian Zhao Taifei have long been looking forward to holding a grandson. Presumably, the two noble ladies will soon be able to fulfill their wishes." When Old Madame Hua opened her mouth, everyone present also hurriedly congratulated Mo Jingli and Ye Ying. Mo Jingli's cold air was really frightening. It made the people who originally wanted to congratulate him not dare to open their mouths. At this time, when Old Madame Hua opened her mouth, everyone naturally followed to congratulate. Mo Jingli looked at everyone with a cold face. In the end, he still could not not disrespect Old Madame Hua, so he nodded lightly.
Ye Li sat next to Old Madame Hua and just happened to see Ye Ying's expression clearly. Ye Li also felt a little strange. Although there was a situation on the wedding day, it had nothing to do with Ye Ying. With Mo Jingli's love for Ye Ying, it would only make him feel more guilty and treat her better. However, the expressions of these two people really did not look like a bunch of happy newlyweds' expressions. Perhaps it was because of Ye Ying's almost unconcealable gloomy expression, Wang Shi's expression did not look good. Fortunately, she still knew to look at the situation. She just kept a calm face and did not flare up.
"Prince Ding is here."
The voice of a servant's report came from outside the door. Minister Ye accompanied Old Duke Hua, Old Lord Su Zhe, and Mo Xiuyao in. Before they came in, Old Duke Hua's loud laughter came in. "Haha, I've waited for so many years. Finally, I'm going to drink Prince Ding's wedding wine. What's the trouble? It's a good opportunity to see how the future Princess Ding is and how she can make my servant admit defeat. "
"Li is still young. Old Duke, don't scare her." Mo Xiuyao's voice was faint with a gentle smile.
"Good boy, you know how to protect your wife before the wedding."
The hall was quiet. Old Madame Hua pushed Ye Li with a smile and said, "Our family's old master is a rough person. Li 'er, don't be offended." Ye Li smiled and shook her head. She looked at the door and saw a man with white hair and a white beard. Although he was close to seventy years old, he still had a majestic gait. Ye Li was born in a military family. When she saw this old man, she knew that he must be a famous general who had spent half his life on the battlefield. She could not help but have a good impression of him.
"Prince Li and Princess Li are also here? This old official greets Prince and Princess Li. " Old Duke Hua's gaze swept across the people in the hall. His gaze paused on Ye Li for a while before he greeted Mo Jingli and Ye Ying.
Mo Jingli nodded and moved his gaze away from Mo Xiuyao who came in behind Old Duke Hua. He frowned and said, "Old Duke, why are you here?"
Old Duke Hua stroked his white beard and smiled proudly. "This old man is here to be a matchmaker for Xiuyao. I'm here to give the betrothal gifts. Old Madam Ye, come and take a look at the betrothal gifts. Is there anything in the Ye residence that you're not satisfied with? Third Miss, come and take a look too. If there's anything missing, we'll immediately ask someone to make up for it. "Old Madam Ye had already roughly looked at the betrothal gifts list once. How could she dare to be dissatisfied? She quickly said with a smile, "Old Duke and Old Mister Su did it personally. How could there be any mistakes?" She handed the list to Ye Li. Ye Li just casually glanced at it. She turned around and handed it to Qing Luan beside her. She smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Old Duke and Old Mister Su."
Old Duke Hua looked at Ye Li and turned back to Mo Xiuyao. He nodded and smiled, "The Ye family really knows how to teach girls. Xiuyao is so lucky."
Mo Xiuyao glanced at Ye Li and smiled without saying anything.
Su Zhe also agreed and smiled, "Old Duke is right. Third Miss is outstanding in poetry, calligraphy, and painting. Ye family has a good upbringing. "
After another round of praise and modesty, Old Madam Hua sent the two bride-to-be out with the reason that they should cultivate feelings before marriage. Standing outside Le Rong Tang, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao couldn't help but look at each other. Finally, it turned into a faint smile.
"Let me do it." Ye Li walked behind Mo Xiuyao and took over A 'Jin's position. A' Jin hesitated for a moment and didn't immediately let go. Mo Xiuyao raised his hand and said, "A 'Jin, you can leave first." The young man looked at Ye Li with a hint of surprise on his face. Then, there was some respect that wasn't there before. He respectfully handed the wheelchair to Ye Li, turned around and disappeared in front of the two people.
Ye Li slowly pushed the wheelchair along the flat path to the garden. Mo Xiuyao slightly tilted his head and said softly, "If you're tired, you can stop. Actually … I can do it myself."
