"Reporting to Princess Prince, Princess Changle, Noble Consort Liu of the Da Chu State, requests an audience." An imperial bodyguard came in to report.
Whenever Ye Li thought of Noble Consort Liu, she felt uncomfortable. It wasn't that she didn't believe in Mo Xiuyao's feelings for her. Rather, it was that a fly was always flying in front of you, yet you couldn't slap her to death. It always made one feel uncomfortable.
For the first time, Ye Li discovered that Su Zuidie and Ye Ying, whom she originally hated the most, were nothing in front of this woman. Su Zuidie was only narcissistic and vain. Ye Ying was only opinionated and had a bit of selfishness that everyone had. Compared to Noble Consort Liu's pestering, these were nothing. Mo Xiuyao had treated her so rudely, yet she still came to visit. Ye Li didn't know where she got her mental fortitude from. Although it was said that only stupid women dealt with other women, smart women dealt with men. Against someone like Noble Consort Liu, no matter how well-behaved a man was, it was useless.
Seeing Ye Li's unsightly expression, Mo Xiuyao became happy. Ye Li glanced at him and said indifferently, "Prince is so happy. In that case, Prince should go see Noble Consort Liu himself."
Xu Qingchen nodded and said, "Li 'er is right. I saw that Noble Consort Liu received news of your return and made a special trip over. She most likely didn't come to see Li' er. Don't waste your energy. Li 'er must be tired these past few days. Go back to your room and rest. "
Hearing this, Mo Xiuyao glared at Xu Qingchen with resentment. His hands rested on Ye Li's body, unwilling to let go. "Don't. Li 'er, don't go …"
Xu Qingchen speechlessly looked at the increasingly childish man and helpless little sister in front of her. She stood up and left. Even though she knew that Mo Xiuyao was acting, Li 'er couldn't bear to part with him. What could he do? He didn't feel like sitting there and being an eyesore. As the saying goes, even an honest and upright official would find it difficult to resolve a family dispute. Those two people, one was willing to hit while the other was willing to be hit. It really had nothing to do with him. Young Master Qingchen sighed helplessly as he turned around to look at the two people who were sitting together. Young Master Qing Chen, who had not been troubled by love for half of his life, could not understand this kind of mutual affection. What is love? How would this Young Master know?
Mo Xiuyao accompanied Ye Li for a long time to coax his wife. He silently remembered that in the future, even if he felt proud because Ah Li cared about him, he must not show it in front of Ah Li. Otherwise, Ah Li would be shy. The guards in the yard were used to seeing their Prince fawning over the Princess Consort without caring about his image. Young Master Feng San was right. It was normal to be henpecked.
By the time Noble Consort Liu and Princess Changle were invited inside, their complexions were quite unsightly. Prince Ding's ability to coax people was not good enough. As a result, Noble Consort Liu had to wait for nearly an hour before she was allowed to enter. When Princess Changle saw Ye Li's smile, she winked at her. Ye Li smiled faintly and nodded her head.
Extending her hand, she beckoned Princess Changle over to sit. Princess Changle bluntly walked over to Ye Li's side and sat down. Laughing softly, she asked, "Princess Ding, did you and Royal Uncle go out to play? Yesterday, I wanted to find you to play, but Young Master Feng San said that you were not here. "Ye Li nodded her head and replied with a smile," I have indeed not been here these past few days. Did Princess just arrive yesterday? "Princess Changle nodded her head and said," You all walked so quickly. Our carriage couldn't keep up with you. "Noble Consort Liu walked over. Looking at Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao, she asked," Has the Prince been well these past few days? "
Mo Xiuyao leaned against Ye Li, paying no attention to her words.
Noble Consort Liu could not help but change her expression. Clenching her teeth, she continued, "Princess Consort, I have something to discuss with the Prince. Would it be possible for me to leave for a moment?" Ye Li raised her eyes and glanced at Noble Consort Liu before lowering her head to look at Mo Xiuyao, who was leaning against her. Mo Xiuyao raised his head and gazed pitifully at her. His pair of dark eyes appeared particularly bright under his snow-white hair. "Wife, your husband has not spoken with her. Don't leave me behind …"
"Pfft …" Seated to the side, Princess Changle could not help but burst out in laughter. She nearly choked on the tea she had just swallowed and could only cough incessantly. "Princess Consort … Uncle Prince Ding …" Princess Changle truly did not know what to say. In her mind, Uncle Prince Ding had always been wise, mighty, and unapproachable. However, was this person who was gazing pitifully at Princess Ding really the awe-inspiring Uncle Prince Ding? Ye Li helplessly rolled her eyes at Mo Xiuyao. To Princess Changle, she said, "He's gone crazy. Don't pay attention to him." Mo Xiuyao was displeased. His handsome face rubbed against Ye Li's body. "Wife, this woman harbors ill intentions towards your husband. You have to protect me."
"Good boy …" Ye Li reached out and patted him, speaking perfunctorily. Raising her head to look at Noble Consort Liu, Ye Li sternly stated, "Noble Consort, you've frightened our Prince." Noble Consort Liu's beautiful face instantly distorted. Forcing a smile, she replied, "Miss Ye must be joking. The Prince is unparalleled in wisdom and courage. How could he be frightened by me?" Ye Li indifferently replied, "That's not necessarily true. Clingy women are the most frightening. Our Prince has always been most afraid of those shameless women. Take a look and see if he's frightened. " Mo Xiuyao repeatedly nodded his head. Although his face could not be seen, his unhesitatingly nodding his head caused Noble Consort Liu to lose all face.
"Ye Li, you …" Noble Consort Liu finally could not bear it any longer. She did her best to maintain her good manners as she sternly shouted. However, before she could say anything, a cold and gloomy gaze interrupted her words.
Mo Xiuyao leaned his head against Ye Li's shoulder and turned his face. His silver hair covered most of his face, but his eyes, carrying a sinister and ruthless aura that seemed to have come from the depths of hell, stared straight at Noble Consort Liu. Noble Consort Liu had always hoped that this man would look her in the eye. At that time, when Mo Xiuyao's gaze truly landed on her body, she felt as if her entire body had been frozen. Even though the fear in her heart had nearly taken over her entire being, she was so stiff that she did not even dare to move. That pair of deep, handsome eyes carried an unprecedented killing intent. Noble Consort Liu even suspected that her eyes were playing tricks on her, that she had seen a flash of blood in Mo Xiuyao's eyes.
"Since … since the Prince has matters to attend to, I will take my leave first." Finished speaking, Noble Consort Liu walked out of the courtyard without the slightest hesitation, as if an evil spirit were chasing after her. She even forgot to call Princess Changle to return with her.
Ye Li and Princess Changle looked at each other in dismay. They did not understand why Noble Consort Liu, who had previously refused to leave, would suddenly run away as if she had seen a ghost.
"Prince, what did you do?" Ye Li asked, raising her eyebrows. Mo Xiuyao innocently blinked his eyes. "How could I do anything to her? Princess Li, have a good chat with Changle. I'll go find Feng Zhiyao and have a drink together. "Ye Li knew that he was looking for Feng Zhiyao. Nodding her head, she watched as he rose and left.
Only after Mo Xiuyao had left did Princess Changle put down the teacup she had been holding. Leaning over the table, she began to giggle. Looking at her helplessly, Ye Li asked, "Is it really that funny?" Princess Changle's eyes curved into crescents as she laughed. Raising her head to look at Ye Li, she stated, "Of course it's funny. If it weren't for the fact that the Princess Consort is also here, I truly wouldn't dare to believe that this is Uncle Ding."
