Compared to Mo Xiuyao's merciless mocking and scolding, Xu Qingchen's casual politeness and distance made Dongfang You feel more at a loss. Dongfang You looked at Xu Qingchen for a long time, then sighed and asked, "You don't believe me, Young Master Qingchen?" Xu Qingchen smiled and didn't say anything, neither yes nor no.
Dongfang You clearly took Xu Qingchen's silence as a tacit agreement. She said mildly, "Young Master Qingchen, rest assured. The reason why I chose to marry Prince Ding as a concubine is not because I want Prince Ding's love or anything else. It is only to assist Prince Ding. Once Prince Ding reigns supreme, Dongfang You will naturally leave to pursue my own happiness. I will not miss Prince Ding, nor will I bring any trouble to Princess Ding. "
Xu Qingchen said with a smile, "Miss Dongfang, you can go and pursue your own happiness now. Forgive me for being blunt, but Prince Ding does not seem to need your help. Also, it must be because Miss Dongfang has not left the mountain for too long, so you do not know some of the established rules of this world. For example, a concubine … cannot be said to marry, but to accept. " How could a woman who could say so openly that she wanted to marry Prince Ding be as uncompetitive as she said? Perhaps she really did not need Prince Ding's love, because what she wanted was something more important than Prince Ding's love. Xu Qingchen had never had a good impression of these so-called legendary reclusive families. As for the so-called choosing a master on behalf of the heavens, it was even more nonsense. If they really had such foresight, they should have come out ten years ago. Although the world's situation was not clear now, Mo Xiuyao obviously had the greatest chance. Adding on the power of Infinite Boundless Mountain, it was indeed not difficult to create a hegemon that could unify the world. However, even without the people of Infinite Boundless Mountain, the Prince Ding Mansion could still do this. Why did they have to take on such a reputation?
A trace of anger flashed in Dongfang You's eyes. She found it hard to remain calm at Xu Qingchen's lack of respect for her. However, Xu Qingchen's attitude made it impossible for her to vent her anger. For a moment, her expression became a little complicated.
Dongfang You had always been aware of her own strengths and abilities, but she also knew that her innate talent was useless in front of determined people like Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingchen, so she did not want to embarrass herself. He looked at Xu Qingchen calmly and said, "I think there are some things that I need to discuss with Prince Ding personally. Perhaps Prince Ding will give a different answer. After all … Young Master Qingchen doesn't have full authority to represent the Prince Ding Mansion, right? "Xu Qingchen raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and didn't comment. He simply said, "Prince Ding is not free right now."
Dongfang You was not in a hurry. "I can wait."
Xu Qingchen frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him. He suddenly felt that this woman was trouble. What he didn't know was that this woman was indeed troublesome, but she wasn't Mo Xiuyao's problem.
Dongfang You was indeed very patient. Xu Qingchen sat in the hall and accompanied her to drink six or seven cups of tea. Even Young Master Qingchen, who was always calm and composed, felt that he couldn't bear to sit in silence with such a woman. However, Dongfang You didn't seem to be impatient at all. She sat in the hall with a dignified expression and occasionally took a few sips of tea.
It wasn't until close to noon that Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li finally arrived. Seeing the stiffness and helplessness hidden under Xu Qingchen's gentle and elegant face, Mo Xiuyao's mood was obviously much better. As the host and guest sat down, Mo Xiuyao leisurely leaned back in his chair and let Ye Li take the lead. Ye Li smiled at Dongfang You and said, "I haven't asked for your name."
Dongfang You stood up and bowed, saying, "My name is Dongfang You. Greetings to Princess."
Ye Li nodded and said with a smile, "Miss Dongfang, you don't have to be so courteous. The Prince and I have some small matters. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Dongfang You smiled and said, "How could it be? With Young Master Qingchen receiving us, my daughter and Young Master Qingchen had a great time." Mo Xiuyao smiled at Xu Qingchen and said, "In that case, why don't Miss Dongfang tell Young Master Qingchen directly? Now most of the affairs in the Prince Ding Mansion are handled by Young Master Qingchen. "Hearing this, Dongfang You frowned slightly and said," Prince, forgive my daughter for speaking bluntly. Although the Prince and Princess are deeply in love, and the Prince also trusts the Xu family. Since ancient times, the monopolization of power by relatives has been the source of chaos. Moreover, the Prince hasn't really achieved anything yet. If in the future … "
The three people in the hall silently looked at Dongfang You's words of advice. They were speechless. It was not that there was anything wrong with these words. At a certain time, these words could even be said to be priceless advice. But the problem was that Miss Dongfang was now neither a relative of the Prince Ding Mansion nor a confidant of the Prince Ding Mansion. Was it really good to speak so bluntly and speak ill of others in front of the Xu family and Princess Ding? Did this girl actually memorize these words from a book?
After Dongfang You finished speaking, Ye Li smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, Miss Dongfang. I think the Prince knows these things in his heart."
Dongfang You frowned slightly and looked at Ye Li with some dissatisfaction. She said, "Princess Ding, although the Xu family is your maternal family, as the saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water. Moreover, you are not the daughter of the Xu family. Shouldn't you be thinking of the Prince Ding Mansion wholeheartedly? How can such a thing for the family be the way of a wife and concubine? "
Ye Li was silent. This girl not only wanted to be a loyal minister and a martyr, but also wanted to be Empress Zhangsun. If the successors of the Boundless Mountain were all like this, Ye Li really doubted how they climbed to the position of Empress. She should have been killed by the Emperor because of her advice.
"Miss Dongfang, you don't need to think about these things for the time being. Why don't you tell me what you came to the Prince Ding Mansion for? " Ye Li finally couldn't help but interrupt her and ask. Dongfang You's beautiful face showed a trace of disbelief. She stared at Ye Li and said, "Princess Ding, don't you understand?" Finding that her intelligence was doubted, Ye Li felt very innocent. "What should I understand?"
Dongfang You said, "I went down the mountain to assist the new Emperor."
"Then go and find your new Emperor." Ye Li's mood was also rather gloomy as she replied mildly. Dongfang You choked on her words, forgetting about Ye Li for a while before she smiled mildly, "The new Emperor chosen by this generation of Infinite Boundless Mountain is Prince Ding. I am this generation's successor of Infinite Boundless Mountain, and have come to assist Prince Ding by the Mandate of Heaven. "
Ye Li looked at her, asking, "Miss Dongfang's so-called assistance is to enter the Prince Ding Mansion and become the Prince's concubine?" Dongfang You said unconcernedly, "This is only a temporary measure. Since Prince Ding has already taken a wife, I will naturally not interfere. When Prince Ding unifies the world, I will naturally retreat with success. "Ye Li tilted her head and passed the problem to Mo Xiuyao." Prince, do as you see fit? Do you want to take in a female strategist? "
Mo Xiuyao's reply was merciless. "Throw her out for I, wasting I's time."
"Prince Ding!" Dongfang You opened her eyes wide in shock, glaring at Mo Xiuyao as she said, "Prince Ding, do you really not want to know what benefits I can bring to you? Infinite Boundless Mountain's power is much greater than you can imagine. " Mo Xiuyao didn't even lift his eyes as he said indifferently, "I have no interest in that Infinite Boundless Mountain of yours. Moreover … with a successor like you, even if Infinite Boundless Mountain could withstand a million mighty soldiers, it would still be useless."
