"Li 'er …"
Ye Li waved her hand carelessly and said, "It's not a big deal. What can they do to me in the capital of Da Chu State? If you have the time to worry about this, why don't you help me organize these things. Tomorrow, Second Aunt will look through them. "Ye Li had a headache as she looked at the messy gift lists and account books in front of her. Only now did she know that Arabic numerals and double-entry bookkeeping were really good things. But now was not the time to be in the limelight. She would have plenty of time to slowly organize them when she arrived at the Ding King's residence. Hua Tian Xiang and Qin Zheng looked speechlessly at the account books that still had more than half of them in front of them and weakly lowered their heads. When they returned home, they must learn from their mother how to manage the household. There were too many of these things.
Ye Lin and Ye Shan listened to them chatting on the side. They were both envious and sympathetic towards Ye Li. But they also knew that they could not get a word in on this. They could only listen and lower their heads to do the work in their hands.
"Huh?" Murong Ting, who was originally lying weakly on the soft couch, suddenly jumped up and rushed to the half-open window. She leaned out and looked around for a long time before retracting her head in confusion.
Hua Tian Xiang looked at her and said, "What's wrong? Is there something outside the window? "
Murong Ting shook her head and looked at Ye Li without saying anything. Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "I think I just saw a green bird fly by outside the window. Did Murong Ting also see it?" Murong Ting blinked and said with annoyance, "Yes, I saw a very beautiful bird. Who would have thought that when I reached the window, I would disappear. "Qin Zheng giggled and covered her mouth." Birds fly so fast, how could they wait for you? "Hua Tianxiang gave her a sideways glance." When did you start liking birds? If you really like it, ask your father to catch one for you. Otherwise, just buy a beautiful one. You don't need to be so surprised. "
"I'm happy." Murong Ting raised her small face and proudly laid back on the soft couch. She also glared at Ye Li without a trace. Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled. Of course, she knew what Murong Ting had heard. In the past few days, there had been a few strange people who wanted to visit the Ye residence without going through the main entrance, but they were all thrown out by the bodyguards that Mo Xiuyao had sent to protect them in secret. However, it was rare for someone to barge in during the day.
"Miss, the Crown Prince of West-Hill Jhennam Of Gojoseon has sent a gift to congratulate you and Prince Ding on your wedding." Outside the door, the butler of the Ye Residence came to report in person.
Ye Li frowned and said, "The Crown Prince of West-Hill Jhennam Of Gojoseon? Shouldn't the gifts be sent directly to King Ding's residence? " The steward said respectfully, "Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon said that this gift was specially prepared by Xiling for the future Princess Consort of Dingguo. Therefore, it must be sent directly to Miss to show the sincerity of Xiling Kingdom."
"Where is Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon now? Is Father here? "Ye Li asked.
"In the hall. Master has just returned and is accompanying him in the hall." The steward said.
Ye Li nodded, "I know. Please wait for Father and Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon. I will go out later. "
The steward excused himself. Murong Ting pulled Ye Li worriedly and said, "Ye Li, be careful when you go out. This Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon might not come with good intentions. "Ye Li raised her eyebrows. The noble ladies in the capital did not know much about this. Murong Ting had followed General Murong for a long time when she was young, so she should know more than them. Qing Luan and others served Ye Li to change her clothes and redo her makeup. Murong Ting stood aside and said what she knew, "The Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon of West-Hill is the younger brother of the current West-Hill Emperor. He is also a famous general of West-Hill. But twenty years ago, he was defeated by Prince Ding's father, the Regent Mo Liufang. At that time, my father was only a small lieutenant. I heard from my father that Jhennam Of Gojoseon was defeated miserably in the battle. He even lost an arm in the chaos. After that, Jhennam Of Gojoseon sent people to assassinate the Regent many times, but they all failed at the last minute. You know … the Regent has died long ago. If Jhennam Of Gojoseon holds a grudge … "Then this grudge could only be held on her and Mo Xiuyao as Mo Liufang's son and daughter-in-law.
"So, Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon is here to find trouble?" Qin Zheng's pretty face turned pale. She looked at Ye Li uneasily and said, "Should we send someone to inform Prince Ding?"
Ye Li shook her head and said, "No need. Prince Ding should know very soon. Moreover, Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon would not come to make things difficult for a girl in the boudoir. That would be too embarrassing for Xiling State and Jhennam Of Gojoseon. "Even if he wanted to find trouble, he should be targeting Mo Xiuyao. They were not married yet. Looking in the mirror, Ye Li saw that she had tidied up properly. She stood up and said, "I'll go take a look first. You guys wait for me here. "Murong Ting rushed to stand beside Ye Li and said firmly," I'll go with you. Tian Xiang and Zheng 'er stay. "Ye Li did not know whether to laugh or cry." Murong, I'm not going to war. "Murong Ting insisted," I don't care. Even if I secretly follow you, it's fine. If that Crown Prince Zhennan has any ulterior motives, I can save you. "
Plotting against the future Princess Ding in public in Da Chu State? Only Murong Ting could think of such a thing. Hua Tian Xiang waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Li 'er, take Murong with you. She just loves to watch the fun. " Murong Ting did not care what they thought. She happily hugged Ye Li's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go!"
"Father." After entering the hall, Ye Li realized that the steward's report was too careless. She thought that only her father and the guests would be present. She did not expect that Mo Jingli and Ye Ying would also be sitting with them. Murong Ting threw her a look that said, "Why is he everywhere?" Ye Li helplessly smiled at her and went forward to greet Minister Ye. In front of outsiders, Minister Ye was very willing to play the role of a good father who doted on his daughter. He affectionately smiled at Ye Li and said, "Li 'er has come. Is Miss Murong also here?" Murong Ting curled her lips and said with a smile, "This junior has come uninvited. Please forgive me, Uncle." Minister Ye smiled and said, "Not at all. This official is deeply gratified that Li' er has such a good friend as Miss Murong. Li 'er, Miss Murong, this is Crown Prince Zhennan of Xiling State, Jhennan Of Gojoseon. "
Only then did the two of them turn their gazes to the young man sitting to the side. Xiling State was located in the northwest of Da Chu State. Its customs were very different from Da Chu State's. However, there was one interesting point. Xiling State called itself Da Ling, while Da Chu State was called Dong Chu. Da Chu State, on the other hand, called itself Da Chu State in Xiling. Just from the way they addressed each other, it could be seen that the relationship between the two countries was not harmonious. Crown Prince Zhennan of Jhennan Of Gojoseon was tall and straight. His facial features were deep and angular, as if they were carved by a knife. Ye Li could clearly see that his eyes were faintly dark purple. It was said that the Emperor Of Xiling had brown eyes. This Crown Prince's appearance clearly showed that he was not a pure Xiling bloodline. "Greetings, Crown Prince." Even the carefree Murong Ting still showed the proper etiquette in front of a foreign envoy.
Crown Prince Zhennan of Jhennan Of Gojoseon sized up the two of them without any scruples. He quickly gave up on Murong Ting and completely turned his gaze to Ye Li. After a while, he said, "The King's Consort has been appointed. Miss Murong, there is no need to be so polite. This one is Lei Tengfeng. "
Lei, was the surname of Xiling. It was good that there was no language barrier.
Minister Ye looked at the imposing Crown Prince Zhennan of Jhennan Of Gojoseon in front of him, then looked at Ye Li. He coughed lightly and said, "Li 'er, Crown Prince Zhennan of Gojoseon specially came to give you a congratulatory gift."
