Mister Qing Yun was already old and after receiving everyone's greetings, he only sat for a while before going back to rest. After Mister Qing Yun left, Ye Li finally let out a sigh of relief. Although it was very grand to invite so many people to the birthday celebration, these people were not easy to get along with. If something were to happen in front of grandfather, it would make him unhappy for no reason. Thus, seeing that the banquet went smoothly before Mister Qing Yun left, Ye Li's mood improved a lot. As for who would want to cause trouble in the future, the Prince Ding Mansion was not afraid.
Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and saw the smile on Ye Li's lips. He raised his hand to hold her slender jade hand and laughed softly, "No matter how much those people want to cause trouble, they still have the ability to see things clearly. They won't cause trouble at grandfather's birthday celebration. "Ye Li smiled and nodded," I know, but I'm still a bit worried. Now that grandfather has gone back to rest, there won't be any problems. "Knowing was one thing, but there would always be people who liked to cause trouble at this time. To Ye Li, nothing was more important than Mister Qing Yun's mood today.
After the birthday star left, the guests were much more at ease. When it came to Mister Qing Yun, the number one scholar in the world, even the nobles of the various countries couldn't help but feel a bit restrained. Not long later, the atmosphere in the observation tower became lively. Sitting below, Lei Zhenting casually drank his wine while sizing up Ye Li who was carefully wiping Mo Xiuyao's mouth. Under the bright candlelight, the faint smile on the woman's lips seemed especially gentle and moving.
Lei Zhenting's sharp eyes slightly narrowed as his gaze swept over Mo Xiuyao.
"I heard that Prince Ding and Princess Ding had twins a month ago. Such a happy occasion, I haven't congratulated you yet." Lei Zhenting suddenly opened his mouth. His voice wasn't loud, but with his internal energy, it easily spread throughout the observation tower. The guests all came to their senses and hurriedly congratulated Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and raised his cup, "I thank Xiling Jhennam Of Gojoseon, and thank you all."
Lei Zhenting smiled, "Such a happy occasion, how can I not give a gift? I have prepared a big gift for Prince Ding, I hope Prince Ding will not reject it. At the same time, it shows the deep friendship between our two countries. "
Mo Xiuyao's sword-like eyebrows slightly raised. He didn't believe that Lei Zhenting would sincerely give him a gift for the twins, especially when he had just killed his grandson and granddaughter not long ago.
Lei Zhenting smiled, "I sent people to search for this gift for a long time before I found it. It is absolutely precious." Mo Xiuyao slightly curled his lips. "If it is too precious, Jhennam Of Gojoseon can keep it for himself." Lei Zhenting smiled, "Such a treasure, only Prince Ding can appreciate it. If it was me, it would be a waste. Men … "Not long after, a few West-Hill guards came in carrying a tall box. They gently placed the wooden box on the ground and stood respectfully to one side, waiting for orders.
Rather than calling it a box, it was more like an exquisitely carved wooden cabinet. Everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on the carved sandalwood cabinet in the hall. They didn't know what gift Jhennam Of Gojoseon had given Prince Ding that made him so cautious. Looking at everyone's reaction, Jhennam Of Gojoseon smiled with satisfaction, "Open it and take a look."
A guard stepped forward and pulled the wooden cabinet from above. A faint fragrance immediately filled the viewing platform.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim. In the hall where the wooden cabinet was originally placed, there was a woman in white kneeling. This woman looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Her appearance wasn't particularly beautiful either. At least, there were at least four or five women present, including Princess Ding, who were more beautiful than her. However, she had a very strange attraction that attracted the gazes of all the guests present. He only felt that there was not a single part of this woman that was not perfect. It even made people feel that her not-so-beautiful appearance was flawless. If it was a more beautiful face, it would instead destroy this temperament.
The woman was dressed in a plain white robe. Her hair was also casually draped over her shoulders. She didn't have any accessories on her body, and even her beautiful eyes didn't have any fluctuations. However, those who met her eyes couldn't help but hear their own thumping heartbeats.
"Jhennam Of Gojoseon, what is the meaning of this?" Before Mo Xiuyao could speak, Xu Hongyan's face had already darkened. Disregarding everything else, today was Master Qingyun's birthday, yet Lei Zhenting had sent a beautiful young girl as Prince Ding. It was truly somewhat rude. Lei Zhenting didn't mind. He smiled at Xu Hongyan, "I know that today is Master Qingyun's birthday. This is indeed impolite. However, I just got this treasure and hurriedly had someone send it to Glass City. This is why I wanted to give it to Prince Ding as soon as possible. After all ….. such a treasure, leaving it in I's hands is really unbearable ….. "Lei Zhenting revealed a tacit understanding smile and nodded at Xu Hongyan.
Mo Xiuyao lowered his head to look at the white robed woman. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Jhennam Of Gojoseon, what is the meaning of this?"
Lei Zhenting smiled and said, "Prince Ding and Princess Consort have been married for almost ten years. However, the residence has yet to take in a concubine. I know that Prince Ding has such a wonderful woman like Princess Consort as his companion. This world's common women won't be able to catch his eye. This is why I sent this woman. I think this woman is definitely a good match for Prince Ding. " Many people didn't think much of Lei Zhenting's words. After all, Princess Ding could be said to be a peerless woman. Just based on appearance, she didn't lose to the white robed woman. However, looking at the white robed woman, they couldn't say anything bad about her. Thinking about it again, Princess Ding could be Prince Ding's wife at any time. However, if there were a few more beautiful concubines, it would also be a good story. Thinking like this, not only did they not have any thoughts about the white robed woman, many people had other thoughts. Of course, this was excluding the messenger sent by the Emperor Of Xiling. The messenger sent by the Emperor Of Xiling only had his head lowered as he stared at the fine wine in the cup in front of him. It was as though the fine wine had suddenly become a nectar.
In reality, it wasn't until Lei Zhenting mentioned this that the people seated noticed that in all these years, Prince Ding hadn't taken a concubine. The entire Prince Ding Mansion only knew that Princess Ding was a woman. Even though Princess Ding was a peerless woman, but in the eyes of the nobles in this world where men were respected, Prince Ding's actions were absolutely inconceivable. Not to mention the nobles of other countries, even many of the subordinates of Prince Ding's residence had some thoughts of disapproval. It wasn't that they had any opinions about Ye Li. It was just that since ancient times, three wives and four concubines had been the norm. Moreover, Mo Xiuyao was the owner of the Prince Ding Mansion. In the eyes of many, he was destined to ascend the throne in the future. He absolutely couldn't place his thoughts on a woman.
Seeing that many people had expressions of approval and envy, Lei Zhenting smiled in satisfaction. He raised his head to look at Ye Li sitting next to Mo Xiuyao. Ye Li's expression was calm as usual. There was even a faint smile at the corners of her lips.
On the other side, a trace of anger flashed through Xu Qingyan's eyes. He was about to stand up. Xu Qingbai, who was sitting next to him, held him down. Xu Qingyan angrily said in a low voice, "Fourth brother, what are you doing!" Xu Qingbai glanced at the indifferent Mo Xiuyao and said, "This is Prince Ding and Li 'er's matter." The Xu family wouldn't ask for Mo Xiuyao to only have Ye Li for the rest of his life. And if they weren't willing to insist on this matter, then no matter how many promises they made, it would just be nonsense. The Xu family could only support Mo Xiuyao's decision and Ye Li's decision unconditionally, no matter what choice she made.
