Nanzhao's wedding was very different from that of the Central Plains. Princess Anxi and Pu 'a's wedding was held in the square in front of the palace. Not only the nobles and envoys of Nanjiang, but also the common people of Nanzhao gathered in the square to celebrate the princess's wedding.
Although the northwest was not big and was not even a real country, Nanzhao still arranged for Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li to sit closest to the King of Nanzhao and the newlyweds. Even the envoys of Da Chu State and West-Hill had to sit behind them. Although Prime Minister Liu was unhappy because of this, he was not a reckless man. Naturally, he would not confront Mo Xiuyao because of this. Lei Tengfeng's face was still gloomy and his eyebrows were tightly knitted. Obviously, he was very worried about being robbed and losing the medicine he had just obtained. However, this time, Jhennam King of Gojoseon did not come with him because he wanted his son to be independent. Therefore, Lei Tengfeng could not find anyone to discuss with.
Princess Anxi was wearing a snow-white dress embroidered with delicate blue patterns. She was sitting next to the groom. She usually looked valiant but now she looked more beautiful.
Shu Manlin was wearing a Saintess's yellow robe and exquisite makeup. She was sitting next to the King of Nanzhao with a smile, but she seemed to be more dazzling than the bride. If it were not for Noble Consort Liu, who was even more beautiful and cold, most people's eyes would have fallen on her.
Feng Zhiyao was sitting behind Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao. He looked at the women present and teased, "Oh, Princess, you seem to have been defeated."
Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She did not answer. She didn't want to steal the bride's attention. Mo Xiuyao looked down at his wife beside him. She was wearing a light blue robe and her hair was in a simple and neat bun with two blue jade hairpins. She looked elegant and graceful. Under the moonlight and the lights, her eyes looked even more beautiful and charming. "In I's eyes, Miss Li is the most beautiful."
Ye Li looked at him with a smile and said, "Master Prince Ding, no matter how well you say it, I won't forget that you still have a confidante who is eagerly waiting for you."
Mo Xiuyao, of course, also sensed a certain someone's gaze. He snorted disdainfully and said, "If Li Li doesn't like it, I'll just get someone to dig out that pair of eyes."
"What do I need eyeballs for? Do you want to eat? "Ye Li rolled her eyes.
Mo Xiuyao seriously considered for a moment, then said: "It doesn't taste good, feed it to Mo Xiaobao."
Ye Li was completely speechless. It didn't taste good, so she fed it to Mo Xiaobao. Was that what he meant? Was Mo Xiaobao really someone he had picked up from the outside?
She glared fiercely at Mo Xiuyao. "If you don't want to feed Mo Xiaobao, how about feeding Dabao?" Mo Xiuyao blinked and understood who the Dabao in Ye Li's mouth was. Frowning, he said: "I don't want to eat it."
Behind them, Feng Zhiyao was sweating profusely. How cheap was his mouth to be so talkative? Also, how capable were the two people in front of them to be able to deviate from the topic to such an extent? Please don't discuss such a cruel topic at someone else's wedding, okay? If Princess Anxi's marriage is unlucky in the future, it will definitely be because of you two!
"Princess Consort … Princess Changle doesn't seem to have appeared." Finally, Feng Zhiyao could not stand the increasingly cruel conversation and spoke up to remind her. Ye Li looked towards the table of the emissaries from the Da Chu State. Sure enough, she did not see Princess Anxi. Instead, she saw Noble Consort Liu, who had been staring fixedly at Mo Xiuyao, reveal a strange smile. Ye Li frowned in thought. Turning her head, she gave Feng Zhiyao a few instructions in a low voice. Feng Zhiyao's expression changed slightly. Finally, while no one was paying attention, he stealthily withdrew from the plaza.
Feng Zhiyao's stealthy withdrawal did not affect anyone. Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li continued to chat and laugh in low voices. Although the two of them had no intention of competing with the newlyweds for attention, the gazes on them did not lessen at all. Mo Xiuyao inadvertently looked towards the opposite side, just in time to see Mo Jingli staring at him in a daze, as well as Lei Tengfeng's pensive expression. A cold light flashed through his eyes. He snorted softly and smiled mockingly at Mo Jingli.
Mo Jingli naturally saw the cold smile on Mo Xiuyao's face. However, he did not feel the embarrassment of being caught peeping at someone else's wife. Instead, he proudly glared at Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao raised the wine cup in his hand and silently said, "I wish you all the best."
Although Mo Jingli had always disliked Mo Xiuyao, he still paid close attention to his every move. Naturally, he understood Mo Xiuyao's meaning. At first, he did not take it to heart. However, when he saw the faint smile on Mo Xiuyao's face, his heart couldn't help but tremble. He felt as if something had been seen through by Mo Xiuyao. This feeling of his most secret being seen through by an enemy made Mo Jingli feel very uncomfortable. Naturally, he was not in the mood to look at Ye Li.
After the King of Nanzhao personally held the wedding for Princess Anxi and Pu Ah Ju, he returned to the palace early. Then the entire square became a sea of joy. Everyone, including Princess Anxi and her new husband, sang and danced happily. Amidst this joy, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao sat in the most inconspicuous corner and watched everything in front of them. "The weddings in Nanjiang are not as formal as those in the Central Plains, but they are more lively," Ye Li said in a low voice with a laugh.
Mo Xiuyao looked with interest at the people dancing and singing below. He asked, "Miss Li, should we go down and have fun with them?" Ye Li glanced coolly at him and said, "If you like, go yourself. I don't know how to dance." Mo Xiuyao was slightly regretful but quickly thought better of it. "Then never mind. I don't want to see Miss Li dance in front of others."
"Princess Consort …" Zhuo Jing appeared behind the two and whispered a few words into Ye Li's ear.
Ye Li frowned. Raising her head, she said to Mo Xiuyao, "Something has happened with Changle. Let's go first."
Although Mo Xiuyao was not very familiar with Princess Changle, she was still the daughter of Empress Hua. Moreover, Mo Xiuyao had a favorable impression of the little girl. She was completely different from her father. Nodding his head, Zhuo Jing pulled Ye Li and prepared to leave. However, he was stopped by a voice behind him. "Prince, are you going back so early?"
At some point, Noble Consort Liu had walked over. Even though the night was lit and the crowd was surging, Noble Consort Liu was still dressed in white. She was like the cold snow of a high mountain, stunning others yet not daring to approach her.
Mo Xiuyao frowned. Indifferently, he asked, "What does it have to do with you?"
Noble Consort Liu smiled faintly and replied, "Right now, the envoys from various countries are still present. For Prince Ding to leave early, isn't that disrespectful to the host?" The three people present were the center of attention. With just a few words, Mo Jingli, Lei Tengfeng, and the others' gazes all swept over.
Ye Li frowned. Glancing at Mo Xiuyao, she said, "Noble Consort Liu is right. Since this is the case, Prince … there is no need for you to accompany me back. I will go back by myself." Not only was there a problem with Princess Changle, but Princess Anxi also needed someone to watch over her.
