Ye Ying was overjoyed and said repeatedly, "Thank you, third sister. Third sister, I …" Looking at Ye Ying's guilty expression, Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "In the past, we were all young and ignorant. Let bygones be bygones. Don't worry, you are my fourth sister. I won't let that Princess of Nanzhao bully you. "Ye Ying nodded repeatedly. She was even more grateful to Ye Li in her heart," Thank you, third sister. "
"Don't mention it. It's nothing. If you have time in two days, go back and see father and grandmother. In the past, father and grandmother loved you the most in the family. Also, I don't want to say this, but there are many things that you really need to ask grandmother. Although Mo Jingli may not condone Princess Xixia too much for my sake, there are many things that I can't teach you. "Ye Li reminded gently.
Ye Ying nodded. She understood what Ye Li was talking about. In the past, her grandmother and mother had wanted to teach her the methods of the matriarchs of noble families, but she had disdained them. Later, she regretted it. She was either imprisoned by Mo Jingqi or in Prince Li's Mansion. No one was willing to teach her. Until now, the power of Prince Regent's Mansion was still in the hands of Concubine Xian Zhao. Princess Xixia could also use some. But she, who was disliked and neglected by Mo Jingli, couldn't even touch a trace of her.
In fact, when it came to the methods of noble ladies, Old Madame Ye and Madame Wang couldn't teach Ye Ying too many useful things. Old Madame Ye and Madame Ye came from small families. What they knew was very limited. If Ye Li really wanted to train Ye Ying, she would ask Eldest Madame Xu, Second Madame Xu, or Empress Hua to teach her. But first, there was no such condition. Second, Ye Li didn't need Ye Ying to become too smart.
Seeing Ye Ying's makeup was messy from crying, Ye Li called for someone to take her down to freshen up. Looking at her receding figure, the gentle smile on Ye Li's face gradually faded. "Qin Feng, am I being too cruel?"
Outside the pavilion, Qin Feng's face was calm as he said in a deep voice, "Everything Wangfei did was for the Prince Ding Mansion and the Mohist army. Besides, Princess Consort Li is not a pure and innocent person. "
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "You're right. Ye Ying has been taught by Madam Wang to be selfish since she was young. She is grateful to me right now, but if one day I jeopardize her interests, she will definitely bite me back without hesitation. It's a pity that … she won't have the chance. "Ye Li wasn't pretending to be kind. However, Ye Ying was indeed innocent in the current situation of the world. Unfortunately, since he had already entered the depths, if he did not have the strength to control his own fate, he could only become a chess piece in the hands of others. This was Ye Ying's fate. Or it could be said that when she chose to marry Mo Jingli, she was already destined to be a tragedy. Mo Jingli was never a good person.
Ye Li stood up and walked out of the pavilion, just in time to see Princess Xi Xia coming towards her. After all these years, Princess Xi Xia's temperament had become much calmer. She was no longer the spoiled princess who would brandish her whip at the slightest disagreement. Seeing Ye Li, she just raised her eyes faintly and said, "Prince Ding Mansion, isn't Ye Ying with you?"
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Princess Xi Xia, fourth sister is Prince Ding Mansion's legal wife. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call her by her name? "
Princess Xi Xia raised her eyebrows disdainfully and said, "So what? She is just a woman that Prince Ding Mansion dislikes. Or does Princess Ding Ding want to use her status to support her? " Ye Li covered her mouth and smiled. Her clear and beautiful eyes moved around Princess Xi Xia's body. She smiled and said, "How could that be? It's just that this consort is a bit curious. Speaking of which, Prince Li is deeply devoted to the princess. Why hasn't the Prince Ding Mansion given the princess a proper status in all these years? If it was in the past, it would be fine. Now that Prince Li has great power in his hands, why hasn't he thought of this? This consort remembers that the princess has long been stripped of her position as princess by Nanzhao, right? You should be called Miss Xi Xia. "
Ye Li's words instantly caused Princess Xi Xia's expression to become extremely ugly. These years, she had been by Mo Jingli's side. Although Mo Jingli did not treat her unfairly, he did not officially marry her. Although Nanzhao did not care about these formalities as much as the Central Plains, it was precisely because she did not have this status that even though Mo Jingli held great power now, she still could not raise her head among the noblewomen of Da Chu State.
"In two days, the Queen of Nanzhao should be arriving. If the Queen knew that her younger sister was like this … I wonder what the Queen would think. "Ye Li seemed to unintentionally say this with faint regret. Princess Xi Xia was Princess Anxi's younger sister, but she had not gotten along with her elder sister since she was young. Instead, she had been very close to the Saintess of Nanjiang, Shu Manlin. In the end, she had disregarded her status and followed Mo Jingli. It could be said that she had completely severed her relationship with Princess Anxi. Now, her own sister had become the Queen of a country, but she did not even have the title of Princess Consort. When she saw Princess Anxi, she wondered how Princess Xi Xia would feel.
"You don't need to be so smug! Prince Ding Mansion will definitely take me as his official consort! "Princess Xi Xia said proudly.
Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled. "Miss Xi Xia has misunderstood. This consort is Princess Ding. Whoever Prince Li takes as his official consort has nothing to do with this consort. However, this consort still has to remind Miss Xi Xia that Prince Li's official consort has already been taken. Even if Prince Li marries, she will at most be an equal consort. In the Central Plains, there is no such thing as having two heads of state. Even an equal consort will have to lower her head in front of an official consort. "
Princess Xi Xia glared hatefully at Ye Li, then snorted softly and turned to leave.
