However, regardless of what the people in the inn were thinking, the entire Glass City was filled with song and dance. The next morning, the last group of guests arrived at the entrance of the Prince Ding Mansion. It was still Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao who personally came out to welcome them. Seeing the group of people dressed in Northern Tribes uniforms that were completely different from those of the Central Plains, Mo Jingli's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Prince Ding, Princess Ding, it's been many years since we last met. It's an honor to meet you!" The Crown Prince of the Northern Tribes, Yelu Hong, stepped forward and greeted them with a smile. On the other hand, Yelu Ye's expression was cold and stern, with a hint of arrogance and enmity. The Northern Tribes army was still in a standoff with the Mohist army in the north. Yelu Ye was the commander of the Northern Tribes army, so he naturally wouldn't treat Mo Xiuyao nicely.
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "Crown Prince is too polite. Your Highness is even more dignified now." Yelu Hong looked enviously at Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. He sighed and said, "I'm not as youthful as Prince and Princess Consort." The people of the Northern Tribes tended to age easily. When they met a few years ago, their ages didn't seem too different. But now, six or seven years had passed. The Crown Prince of the Northern Tribes had grown a short beard. Even his figure wasn't as tall and slender as before. But Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li still looked like they were in their early twenties. When the two of them stood together, they looked like a celestial couple. How could anyone not be envious?
"Crown Prince is too kind." Ye Li smiled faintly. Seeing Xu Hongyan who came back with them, a sincere smile appeared on her face. "Second Uncle is finally back. It must have been a tiring journey. How was the journey?"
Compared to the Central Plains, the Northern Tribes had it tough. Even though Xu Hongyan had only been there for a few months, he had lost a lot of weight. Xu Hongyan looked at Ye Li and said with a smile, "Everything is fine. Uncle didn't have time to rush back when Li 'er gave birth. How are the two children? "Ye Li smiled and said," I've made Uncle worry. They're all very well. "
Mo Xiuyao held Ye Li's hand and smiled, "Li Li, why don't we invite the Crown Prince of the Northern Tribes and the Seventh Prince into our residence for a cup of tea before we chat. Uncle must be tired from the journey back, why don't we rest first? "Ye Li nodded apologetically," Crown Prince Yelu, Seventh Prince, please come in. " Yelu Hong smiled and nodded. When Yelu Ye walked past Ye Li, he gave him a condescending glance, as if he hated Ye Li very much. This expression made Ye Li raise her eyebrows curiously. Although her relationship with Yelu Ye had never been good, Yelu Ye had never shown such obvious disgust towards her. It should be said that no one had ever shown such obvious disgust in front of Ye Li. This made her curious.
Once they entered the residence, Xu Hongyan went to freshen up and rest. Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li brought the guests to the main hall and sat down to drink tea. Ye Li's gaze fell on the veiled woman sitting next to Yelu Ye. She ignored the Crown Princess of the Northern Tribes, Princess Rong Hua. As if noticing Ye Li's gaze, Yelu Ye glared fiercely at Ye Li, his expression somewhat unfriendly. Yelu Hong who was sitting opposite him frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with his younger brother's behavior.
Mo Xiuyao leaned back in his chair, carelessly supporting Ye Li's waist with one hand, and looked indifferently at the people in front of him.
Ye Li put down the teacup, nodded to Princess Rong Hua, and asked with a smile, "It has been almost ten years since we parted in the Chu capital. Is the Princess doing well in the Northern Tribes? "
Princess Rong Hua's smile was appropriate. Compared to the time in the Chu capital, she had more of the grandeur of the Great Wall, but did not lose the dignity of the Central Plains Imperial Family. "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am doing well in the Northern Tribes. His Highness is also very good to me. " Then, she looked up and smiled at Yelu Hong. Yelu Hong also smiled back. It seemed that the relationship between husband and wife was not affected much by the Northern Tribes' attack on the Da Chu State.
"That's good." Ye Li smiled and looked sideways at the veiled woman beside Yelu Ye. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Seventh Prince, is this the Seventh Imperial Concubine?"
Yelu Ye nodded and said, "Yes, this is I's beloved concubine, Qing Yina."
Ye Li smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, Qing Yina means the most beautiful woman in the language of the Northern Tribes. I'm sure Princess Qi must be a stunning beauty. " Yelu Ye did not deny it and nodded, "Yes, I's beloved concubine is indeed a rare beauty." She turned sideways and held the Seventh Princess Consort's hand. Her eyes were filled with gentleness and love, as if she wanted to compete with Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao in terms of love. However, Yelu Ye had always thought highly of himself. A woman who could subdue him like this, her appearance definitely wouldn't be too bad.
Ye Li did not care about the provocation in Yelu Ye's words. She smiled and said, "It's a pity that I can't see the Seventh Imperial Concubine's beauty."
On the other side, Princess Ronghua smiled faintly and said, "Princess doesn't need to be regretful. The Seventh Imperial Concubine is indeed a stunning beauty, but the Da Chu State has never lacked stunning beauties. When Princess was still in the Chu capital, didn't you see many stunning beauties? " Ye Li's eyes flashed and her gaze swept over the woman in white. She smiled and said, "Princess is right. Not to mention others, just the stunning beauties in the Chu capital written by Young Master Ming Yue, any one of them is enough to cause the downfall of a country. It's a pity … … Never mind, this Concubine and Prince did not know about the Seventh Prince's wedding. When we return, we must ask the Seventh Prince for a toast."
Yelu Hong smiled and said, "Princess doesn't need to worry. It's not too late to have a toast. When Seventh Brother and Sister-in-law get married, it won't be too late for Princess to ask." The implication was that Yelu Ye and this woman were not married yet. This woman was not the rightful Seventh Imperial Concubine.
With so much information, Ye Li also had a low opinion of the woman in front of her. She lowered her eyebrows and smiled faintly, "If that's the case, I must congratulate the Seventh Prince in advance. I also hope that the Seventh Prince will not be stingy with a cup of wine. "
Yelu Ye looked at Ye Li for a long time and then said, "When the time comes, I will definitely invite Prince Ding and Princess to come. I also hope that the two of you will not dislike it. "
Ye Li turned and smiled at Mo Xiuyao, "Prince, the Seventh Prince has invited us to attend his wedding. Does Prince want to go or not?"
Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and looked at Ye Li with gentle eyes. He said softly, "If Miss Li says to go, then go. If she says not to go, then don't go."
Ye Li smiled with satisfaction. She looked up and saw a trace of resentment in the beautiful eyes under the white veil.
