"I can't go to my fourth sister's wedding. How is she and Prince Li?" Ye Li asked Ye Yue with a smile while stroking her slightly protruding belly.
Ye Li remembered Ye Ying's gloomy face when she returned home two days ago. It was really not good. But now she didn't intend to say it to make Ye Yue feel uncomfortable. She just said with a smile, "Fourth sister and Prince Li are newly married. Of course they are good. I … I'm a little busy now. I didn't have time to talk to you. "Ye Yue already knew that Ye Li and Ye Ying's relationship was not good, so she didn't care. She just took Ye Li's hand and said with a smile, "We are sisters. After marriage, we don't have to see each other all the time at home. It's not a bad idea to walk around more. I can't do anything in the palace. You sisters can take care of each other outside. So father and grandmother don't worry. Don't you think so? "
Ye Li nodded and said, "You're right."
The two sisters were talking about Ye Mansion when a servant came in and said that Empress Dowager wanted to see Third Miss Ye. Ye Yue was stunned for a moment. Then she turned to Ye Li and said with a smile, "Since Empress Dowager wants to see you, third sister, go quickly. Empress Dowager is the ruler of the world. She loves the younger generation the most. Third sister, don't be afraid. It's not convenient for me to go with you. " Ye Li nodded. She looked at Ye Yue's well-maintained jade fingers and gently stroked her abdomen. She nodded faintly and said, "Thank you for your advice, Your Highness. Since this is the case, I will take my leave." Ye Yue smiled and said, "Third Sister, take care. Servants, escort Third Miss out for me."
"Sister, I also want to pay respect to Empress Dowager. You can go with Third Miss Ye. "Noble Consort Liu stood up and said.
Ye Yue nodded, "In this case, I'll have to trouble sister Noble Consort."
Noble Consort Liu nodded lightly, "Third Miss, let's go."
Ye Li followed Noble Consort Liu out of Yaohua Palace. She looked back at the richly decorated palace gate. When Ye Yue said that Empress Dowager wanted to see her, if she didn't see wrong, Ye Yue was nervous. As for Noble Consort Liu … She took a look at Noble Consort Liu who was walking in the front with her entourage. Until now, she still couldn't tell whether Noble Consort Liu was a friend or a foe. Accompanying her into Yaohua Palace, and then accompanying her to see the Empress Dowager? Ye Li was sure that if Noble Consort Liu hadn't been sitting there the whole time, Ye Yue would have said more than that. But Ye Li couldn't believe that Noble Consort Liu was good to her, not to mention that they had never met each other before. She didn't even bother to hide her contempt under her faint arrogance. Helplessly shrugging, Ye Li calmly followed behind. The people in the palace were really troublesome …
The palace where the Empress Dowager lived was located in the northwest part of the Imperial City. Its area was twice the size of Yaohua Palace, and the splendid pavilions and palaces revealed the noble status of the Emperor's birth mother.
"Zhangde Palace was specially built for the Empress Dowager after the Emperor ascended the throne." Standing in front of Zhangde Palace and waiting for the summons, Noble Consort Liu looked back at Ye Li and said lightly, "Also, don't listen to your sister's nonsense. The Empress Dowager isn't a good-tempered person. Be careful. "Ye Li pursed her lips and said with a faint smile," Thank you for your advice. "Noble Consort Liu snorted, flicked her sleeves and stepped into Zhangde Palace first. Ye Li followed behind. Although her face was calm, her mind had already turned hundreds of times. Although she hadn't been in the palace for long, the strangeness of the Imperial Palace was beyond her understanding. It was said that the Empress Dowager helped the Emperor ascend the throne. The Empress Dowager was a famous virtuous concubine. But Noble Consort Liu, as the Emperor's favorite concubine, didn't respect the Empress Dowager at all. Also … She looked up at the three large characters on the horizontal board under the eaves. Zhangde — she hoped the Emperor was willing to write it.
"Ye Li greets the Emperor, greets the Empress Dowager." Walking into the hall and seeing the tall man in a bright yellow robe, Ye Li's face flashed with a trace of surprise, but she quickly bowed respectfully.
"Rise. Chang 'er, why are you here? "Mo Jingqi glanced at Ye Li, then his eyes fell on Noble Consort Liu. He stood up and walked down the stairs to pull Noble Consort Liu in front of him. Noble Consort Liu snorted and said lightly, "What? Does the Emperor feel that I can't greet the Empress Dowager? "Mo Jingqi sighed and said softly," You know, I'm not like this. "
"Your Majesty!" A voice with a trace of sternness and displeasure came from the hall. Ye Li glanced at it secretly. The Empress Dowager must have been a great beauty when she was young. Although she was the elder sister of Consort Xianzhao, the Empress Dowager looked younger than Consort Xianzhao. Her phoenix eyes gave people an indescribable sense of sharpness, but Ye Li knew that her eyes must have been enchanting and beautiful when she was young. At this time, the Empress Dowager didn't notice Ye Li, but cast her sharp eyes on Noble Consort Liu. She could even feel a trace of murderous intent in her eyes. Obviously, the Empress Dowager didn't like Noble Consort Liu very much.
"Mother." Mo Jingqi frowned and took Noble Consort Liu to the hall, saying, "Mother, Chang 'er came to greet you. She must have met Third Miss Ye and came together. "
The Empress Dowager said lightly, "Greet? It's rare for Noble Consort Liu to remember to greet me today. "
"Mother, you know that Chang 'er's health hasn't been good since she gave birth to Jing' er." Mo Jingqi looked a little embarrassed, but he still firmly protected Noble Consort Liu by his side. Peeking at the Empress Dowager's gloomy face, Ye Li wanted to sympathize with her. She finally gave birth to two sons. After the late Emperor died, Empress Yuan became the Empress. She worked hard to send her sons to the throne. She should be happy as the Empress Dowager. Who knew that the youngest son was occasionally stupid, and the eldest son of the Emperor only cared about his wife and not his mother?
"Mother, didn't you say you wanted to see Third Miss Ye? Let's see how Xiuyao's princess is first. "Seeing the Empress Dowager's face was really bad, Mo Jingqi hurriedly said.
Ye Li was speechless. Your Majesty, are you trying to divert the trouble away?
As expected, the Empress Dowager quickly turned her eyes back to Ye Li. Ye Li silently decided that it was better to believe Noble Consort Liu's words. Just the Empress Dowager's gaze on her was not something an ordinary person could bear.
"You are Ye Li?" After a long time, the Empress Dowager asked.
Ye Li respectfully lowered her eyes and answered, "Your Majesty, I am Ye Li."
The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "Raise your head and let me have a look."
Ye Li raised her head and let the Empress Dowager and the Emperor look at her.
"I have seen your mother several times in the past. The granddaughter of the Xu family is really not someone who can't be seen in public. What a pity … "The Empress Dowager didn't say anything about what a pity. Of course, no one was tactful enough to ask. Ye Li's sharp eyes saw that Noble Consort Liu sitting next to the Emperor didn't look good. She had some doubts in her heart. The Empress Dowager shouldn't be scolding Noble Consort Liu indirectly. After all, the daughter of Prime Minister Liu was definitely not someone who could not be seen in public.
"My Li 'er is not sensible. Miss Ye, please don't take what happened before to heart." The Empress Dowager's sharp eyes stared at Ye Li without blinking.
