With these words, the hall instantly fell silent. A moment later, Feng Zhiyao's laughter rang out in the hall. First, it was a low chuckle. Then, as though he could not hold it in any longer, he began to laugh loudly. Princess Lingyun was so embarrassed that she became angry. She glared angrily at Feng Zhiyao and said, "What are you laughing at?!"
Feng Zhiyao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Nothing, I suddenly felt like laughing, so I laughed." Then he turned to Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. His lips moved as he soundlessly said a few words. Ye Li, who was proficient in lip reading, could clearly see that Feng Zhiyao had said "Homme fatale." Even though Mo Xiuyao did not know what Feng Zhiyao had said, he could guess from his expression. He glanced dangerously at him and did not respond.
Originally, Princess Lingyun had been impulsive. But since she had already said it, she let it go. She raised her chin to look at Ye Li and asked, "How about it? Do you dare? "
Ye Li was slightly helpless. She smiled at Princess Lingyun and asked, "Princess, why should I accept your challenge?" The reason she had accepted the challenge in the past was for Mo Xiuyao, for the Prince Ding Mansion and her dignity as Princess Ding. But now, Ye Li could not think of why she would accept Princess Lingyun's challenge. Looking at Princess Lingyun, she knew that she was already married. She could not possibly still be thinking about Mo Xiuyao, right? As for the dignity of the Prince Ding Mansion, there was no need for her, the princess consort, to defeat the princess of a defeated country to prove herself.
"You don't dare?!" Princess Lingyun looked disdainfully at Ye Li.
Ye Li smiled and said, "I don't need it." She didn't need to accept Princess Lingyun's challenge. In this world, no one would dare to say that she wasn't good enough for Mo Xiuyao, or that she wasn't good enough to be Princess Ding.
Upon hearing this, Princess Lingyun's expression turned even uglier. Ye Li was right. She did not need to accept her challenge. To put it bluntly, with Princess Lingyun's current reputation and status, she had no right to challenge Princess Ding.
The Emperor Of Xiling saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and hurriedly said, "Ling Yun has been spoiled by zhen since she was young. She doesn't know the severity of the situation. Princess, please forgive her."
Princess Lingyun opened her mouth, wanting to say something. The Emperor Of Xiling fiercely glared at her and sternly said, "Why don't you take a look at where this is? Why aren't you leaving!"
Mo Xiuyao held Ye Li's hand as he stood up. He smiled at the Emperor Of Xiling and said, "Emperor Of Xiling, since we've already reached an agreement, I will return to the Emperor Of Xiling. I and the princess consort will return to the guest house to rest. Princess Li is a bit tired these past few days. "The Emperor Of Xiling quickly smiled and said," Why don't Prince Ding and the princess consort stay in the palace for the time being? Zhen has already ordered people to clean out the palace for Prince Ding's group. "Mo Xiuyao waved his hand and said with a smile," There's no need. I am not picky about where I live. I'll leave first. "
"This … … Zhen has already prepared a welcoming banquet for Prince Ding and the princess consort … …"
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Many thanks to the Emperor Of Xiling for the trouble. But I'm a bit tired. Today, I can only thank the Emperor Of Xiling for his kindness."
Since Prince Ding and the princess consort had said so, the Emperor Of Xiling couldn't force them to stay. He could only have people send them out. Mo Xiuyao held Ye Li's hand as they walked in front of Princess Lingyun. They paused for a moment before continuing to walk out. Seeing Mo Xiuyao's group leave the main hall, the Emperor Of Xiling finally let out a sigh of relief. He turned his gaze to Princess Lingyun and said with a frown, "Ling Yun, you?!"
Princess Lingyun's face paled and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The Emperor Of Xiling jumped in fright and hurriedly ordered people to support Princess Lingyun. He asked, "What's going on?" Even though this daughter had put him on the spot, she was still his own daughter. Seeing her suddenly spit out blood, the Emperor Of Xiling was still slightly worried.
The taiyi came quickly and took Princess Lingyun's pulse. He said with confusion, "How did the princess suddenly get an internal injury?" The other people naturally didn't understand. After all, even though Princess Lingyun had said she wanted to challenge Princess Ding, they hadn't fought. The other people in the hall hadn't even touched Princess Lingyun. How did she suddenly get an internal injury?
"Prince Ding!" Princess Lingyun raised a hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of her mouth and said in a low voice through gritted teeth.
These days, the entire city of the Emperor Of Xiling was in turmoil. The posthouse in the city occupied by the people of the Prince Ding Mansion was much quieter because there were Mohist army soldiers guarding outside. However, there were still all kinds of people who came to see them for all kinds of reasons. Even though the Emperor Of Xiling was still in charge of the Emperor Of Xiling's family and the imperial court, everyone knew that the city of the Emperor Of Xiling already belonged to the Prince Ding Mansion. The people who were quick-witted and didn't plan to follow the Emperor Of Xiling south to An City couldn't help but have ideas about the Prince Ding Mansion. They wanted to find a better future for themselves.
In the posthouse, the city of the Emperor Of Xiling in September already had some of the coldness of early winter. Fortunately, there weren't many plants in Xi Ling's mansion, so it didn't seem desolate. On the side of the fake mountain in the yard, Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingbai were sitting facing each other and playing chess. Ye Li sat next to Mo Xiuyao and watched the game. Even Feng Zhiyao and Xu Qingfeng, who were always active, were sitting on the side and watching. Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingbai's chess style were not bold people. They played carelessly and had a sense of leisure. Feng Zhiyao was bored watching on the side and turned to look at Ye Li sitting next to Mo Xiuyao. He smiled and said, "Wang Fei, have you heard of the strange things that have happened in the city of the Emperor Of Xiling in the past two days?"
Ye Li looked up at him and was slightly puzzled.
Feng Zhiyao said with a smile, "I heard that yesterday was the Autumn Moon Festival in the city of the Emperor Of Xiling. It was probably a festival where the daughters of the officials in the city gathered. Did they not send you invitations? " Feng Zhiyao was slightly surprised. Logically, the officials and nobles in the city of the Emperor Of Xiling should not be so blind. Especially those who had no intention of going south with the Emperor Of Xiling.
Ye Li thought and said, "I did receive a few invitations, but I rejected them. Did something happen? "
"It's good that you rejected them. I heard that Princess Lingyun went to the Autumn Moon Festival yesterday and was blocked outside the door and not allowed to enter." Feng Zhi Yao's smile was absolutely filled with schadenfreude. Who asked that woman, Princess Ling Yun, to look so mean? It was one thing, but she also looked like her nose was on top of her head. Wasn't this hateful? Young Master Feng San had never been a kind person.
"Blocked outside the door? Why is that? "Ye Li raised her eyebrows, her interest piqued. No matter how arrogant Princess Lingyun was, she was still the princess of West-Hill. She had the right to be arrogant. Most influential people wouldn't go against her, not to mention deliberately slapping her in the face. Feng Zhiyao said with a smile, "I don't know what happened, but the news of Princess Lingyun provoking Princess Ding in the palace has spread all over the city. Speaking of which, the nobles in West-Hill also know about Princess Lingyun's incident in the Da Chu State. Now it is being talked about again. Coincidentally, the people in charge of the Autumn Moon Festival this year are the wealthy merchants of West-Hill City, the Sun family. Since the Murong family was destroyed, the Sun family rose rapidly. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are now the richest family in the Imperial City. They were once officials of West-Hill who gave up their official position and went into business. They have always been at odds with Princess Lingyun. Now that the Imperial City has changed hands, why would they care about Princess Lingyun? "
