Age was definitely the most untouchable taboo for every woman, especially for a stunning beauty who was no longer young. A beauty in her twilight years and a general with white hair was the most helpless thing in the world. Therefore, even the arrogant Noble Consort Liu, who was unwilling to lower herself to the level of a foreign woman like Queen Helan, was still enraged.
"Bitch, what did you say?!" Noble Consort Liu was trembling with anger as she glared at Queen Helan and snapped.
Queen Helan was only sixteen or seventeen years old this year. She was really at the age of a flower. Although she didn't have the delicate and fair complexion of the women of the Central Plains, her young complexion still looked healthy and delicate under the sun. This was exactly what Noble Consort Liu lacked at her age. No matter how exquisite her makeup was, no matter how hard she tried to maintain her youthful skin in her thirties, she would never have the tender skin of a young girl. What's more, she had suffered for a long time in the past two years, which almost made her years of maintenance go to waste. Although she had tried her best to maintain herself in the past two years, her complexion could never return to its peak. Queen Helan's words undoubtedly sprinkled a handful of salt on her wound mercilessly.
"Presumptuous!" Queen Helan's face darkened. She raised her chin and stared at Noble Consort Liu proudly. "Seeing that you are Prince Yelu's woman, I will yield to you. Believe it or not, I will smash your face and you won't be the Royal Consort of the Northern Tribes. I don't believe that the King of the Northern Tribes will make trouble for me because of this! "Noble Consort Liu glared at Queen Helan as if poisoned. Yelu Ye frowned and said in a deep voice, "Alright, Queen Helan, Qing Yina spoke without thinking, please forgive her. However, you also spoke rudely first. Why don't we just let it go? " Queen Helan glanced at Ren Qining, who obviously didn't intend to stand up for her, snorted and turned her head away without speaking.
Noble Consort Liu was originally unwilling, but under Yelu Ye's warning gaze, she gave up.
"Hey, isn't that Prince Ding and Princess Ding?" Queen Helan looked out of the window and saw Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li strolling hand in hand in the crowd. In the crowd of black haired people, Mo Xiuyao's white hair was naturally very conspicuous. Hearing this, the others also looked over. Sure enough, he saw an outstanding man and woman walking side by side in the crowd. The two of them held hands as they chatted and laughed. Mo Xiuyao was wearing a light green robe with silver embroidery. A jade belt was tied around his waist, and his long silver hair was casually draped over his shoulders. He lowered his head and looked at the black-haired woman beside him. His light laughter was completely different from his usual indifference and coldness.
The woman standing beside him had black hair that was tied up in a loose bun. She casually dabbed a purple stamped hibiscus flower, and a delicate silver dangling hairpin gently swayed beside her ear, which made her beautiful face even more elegant and graceful, causing people to be unwilling to look sideways. Ye Li was wearing a very simple white robe with silver embroidery, and a light purple jade pendant was tied to her silver belt. The two of them were obviously not dressed formally, but as they walked in the crowd, everyone's eyes couldn't help but follow them.
It wasn't clear what Mo Xiuyao said, but Ye Li angrily glared at him. She raised her hand to snatch the thing in his hand, but Mo Xiuyao let her pass with a smile. He held her waist with one hand and brought the thing in his hand to her lips with the other. Only then did the crowd see clearly that Mo Xiuyao was holding a stick of candied haws. Ren Qining and Yelu Ye couldn't help but twitch their mouths. With their status, no matter which woman they doted on, they would never do such a thing. But seeing Mo Xiuyao do it so calmly and without any pretense, it was obvious that he was enjoying it.
"I've long heard that Prince Ding and Princess are deeply in love. Seeing it today, I know that the rumors are true." Imperial Concubine Yun sighed faintly, and it was difficult to hide her envy for Princess Ding in her tone.
Queen Helan also rarely agreed with Imperial Concubine Yun's words, "Prince Ding is an amazing man."
Yelu Ye's mouth twitched. The standard of a good man was to buy candied haws on the street? Seeing his indifference, Queen Helan said unhappily, "Seventh Prince, can you buy candied haws on the street for any woman?"
Yelu Ye curled his lips in disdain. How could he, a prince, do such a degrading thing for a woman? Queen Helan was even more disdainful, "I originally thought that only the men of the Central Plains were so hypocritical, but I didn't expect you Northern Tribes people to be the same. The men of the Northern Region are not as hypocritical as you. Every one of them is a good man like Prince Ding. "
Seeing that Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li were about to pass by downstairs, Queen Helan stood up and said with a smile, "Prince Ding, Princess Ding … …"
Downstairs, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao looked up and saw Queen Helan waving happily at them. Of course, there was also Ren Qining and Yelu Ye, whose expressions were not very good. Ren Qining and Yelu Ye had formed an alliance to fight against the Mohist army, so it was not surprising that the two of them would appear at the same teahouse. But the two families had colluded under the eyes of the Mohist army in Li City. They really did not put the Prince Ding Mansion in their eyes. Ye Li's lips curled into a faint smile. She nodded at Queen Helan and said with a smile, "The Queen is also here, what a coincidence." Queen Helan leaned against the window and said with a smile, "Prince Ding and Princess Fei are out shopping, why don't you come up and sit together."
"Deference is no substitute for obedience." Ye Li smiled and agreed. She pulled Mo Xiuyao into the teahouse.
The two had just entered when the shopkeeper of the teahouse came up to greet them with an excited expression. Even though Prince Ding and Princess Fei lived in Li City, the two usually did not go out. It was no wonder that the shopkeeper was so excited that they could visit this small teahouse. Looking at the excited and bewildered shopkeeper, Ye Li nodded with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper, don't mind us, we can go up ourselves." The shopkeeper naturally nodded and carefully snuck a glance at Prince Ding who was standing next to Princess Fei. The Prince holding the candied haws was really beyond the scope of what normal people could accept. He didn't dare to go up and make small talk. He could only watch as Ye Li pulled Mo Xiuyao upstairs.
Ren Qining's group did not sit in the side room, but the shopkeeper knew that their status was special. The place where they sat had the best view and the quietest place in the entire teahouse. Separated by a folding screen of mountains and rivers, it formed a world of its own. It had the meaning of finding peace in the midst of chaos. Seeing the two come in hand in hand, Ren Qining and Yelu Ye's gaze involuntarily landed on Mo Xiuyao's other hand. Even though the candied haws were gone, Prince Ding who was holding the dessert box in his hand was still unbearable. This feeling was like a deity worshipped by all living beings in the Ninth Heaven, but someone suddenly told you that deities also needed to eat, drink, and defecate.
Facing Ren Qining and Yelu Ye's strange gazes, Mo Xiuyao did not care. He casually put the dessert on the table. Only then did everyone see the words "Tasting Lotus House" on the box. This was Li City's most famous dessert. Queen He Lan's eyes lit up, "This is Tasting Lotus House's dessert? Their desserts are the best. I went there twice and had to wait in a long line. "
