Ye Li smiled faintly at Princess Anxi's praise. In life, it was enough to protect the peace of the people. As for merits and demerits, there was no need to care so much.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Consort. There is a woman who calls herself Princess Xi Xia outside the door requesting an audience. "The attendant outside the door respectfully reported.
Hearing the attendant's words, Princess Anxi frowned slightly and said with some displeasure, "What is she doing here?" Princess Anxi's heart had turned cold towards this sister of hers. Princess Xixia was her only biological sister, but when she fought with Shu Manlin in their youth, it was so difficult and dangerous. It was fine if Princess Xixia didn't help her, but because of Mo Jingli, she even helped Shu Manlin against her. In the end, she ran to the Da Chu State and refused to come back, losing the face of the Nanzhao royal family. Even when the two sisters met in Glass City this time, Princess Xi Xia's words were filled with dissatisfaction and jealousy towards her older sister. Princess Xi Xia only remembered that she was made the Crown Princess and inherited the throne of Nanzhao. However, she didn't think about the hardships and hardships she had gone through when she was framed by Shu Manlin and suppressed by her father. It was better not to have a sister like this.
"Forget it, she should be returning to Jiangnan with King Li in a few days. Let her in. "Princess Anxi said faintly.
The attendant accepted the order and left. Ye Li stood and said, "You sisters reminisce, I'll take my leave first." Princess Anxi hurriedly pressed down her hand and said, "I don't have much to say to her. You're about to go to war and I don't know when we'll meet again. Just sit down. " Ye Li originally wanted to leave some space for the two sisters to talk alone. Seeing Princess Anxi like this, she didn't refuse and sat down again.
Not long after, Princess Xi Xia walked in. Seeing Ye Li sitting there, she was startled. Then she walked in front of Princess Anxi and called out timidly, "Royal sister."
Princess Xi Xia was twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old this year. Although she was still beautiful, she was no longer a young girl. This appearance made her look less delicate and pitiful. Instead, it made her look more pretentious. Princess Anxi frowned slightly and pointed to the chair next to her, "Why are you here? Sit down and talk. "
Princess Xixia didn't get the desired effect. She lowered her head in disappointment, walked to the chair Princess Anxi pointed at and sat down. Princess Anxi asked, "What happened?"
Princess Xi Xia bit her lips and said with red eyes, "Prince Li is going to marry Dongfang You. Please help Xi Xia, Royal Sister." A trace of gloominess flashed across Princess Anxi's brows. In this short period of time, Princess Xi Xia had come to the courier station a few times. She had said that she wanted Nanzhao to put pressure on Prince Li's Manor so that Prince Li would officially take her as his consort. Princess Anxi naturally didn't agree. Even though she was the Queen of Nanzhao, she couldn't control who the Prince Regent of Da Chu State married. The Nanzhao royal family had long lost the name of Princess Xi Xia, so it was not proper to manage her.
"How can I make the decision for Prince Li to marry Dongfang You? Xi Xia, you're not young anymore. Can't you see things clearly? "Princess Anxi frowned.
Princess Xi Xia said with grievance, "But that Infinite Boundless Mountain is extremely domineering. Dongfang You forced Prince Li to promise that in the future, there will only be two consorts in the Prince Li's Manor. No one else will be given a status, and no one will be able to give birth to a child before Dongfang You. Even if Prince Li ascends the throne in the future, he won't be allowed to make me a consort. " Thinking of how arrogant Dongfang You was in front of her, Princess Xi Xia couldn't help but want to stab her to death. She was also a princess of a country, but she was being bullied by a country bumpkin. Unfortunately, she knew that whether Mo Jingli liked Dongfang You or not, the people he cared about the most right now were Dongfang You and Infinite Boundless Mountain. If she really did harm to Dongfang You, Mo Jingli would probably kill her first.
"Princess, this Dongfang You …" While Princess Anxi knew a little about Dongfang You and Infinite Boundless Mountain, she didn't know much about them.
Ye Li shook her head and said, "How can Dongfang Hui not say it? Dongfang You has been reciting the ways of a wife, a concubine, and a queen all day long. She can't wait to be a living female saint. She shouldn't have made such a rude request, right? Princess Xi Xia probably hasn't said anything yet, right? "
Princess Anxi looked at Princess Xi Xia. Princess Xi Xia's expression changed slightly. Biting her lips, she said hatefully, "It's that Dongfang Hui … she said that my status is too low to be Prince Li's consort." Princess Xi Xia's status was low? Of course not. While the nobles of the Central Plains looked down on the small border countries, they would still give a certain amount of respect to the status of a country's princess. But Princess Xi Xia was different. Everyone knew that the Princess Xi Xia of Nanzhao no longer existed in the world.
Princess Xi Xia was a consort conferred by the late late Emperor Mo Jingqi. While she had died of illness before the conferment ceremony, so she wasn't able to enter the royal family's genealogy, she was still Mo Jingqi's woman in name. And the current Xi Xia was only a concubine of unknown origins in the Prince Li Manor, who was already nearing thirty and still didn't have a status. Dongfang Hui was not wrong to say that her status was low.
Actually, Princess Xi Xia's feelings towards Mo Jingli could be said to be truly deep. This was something that even Ye Ying could not compare to. But it was really hard to say how big of a place Princess Xi Xia occupied in Mo Jingli's heart. After so many years, if Mo Jingli really wanted to, he would at least be able to give Princess Xi Xia the title of Prince Consort, instead of letting her stay in the Prince Li Manor so awkwardly and without status. Now that the descendant of Infinite Boundless Mountain had married into the Prince Li Manor, Dongfang You was no longer the Ye Ying who had no one to rely on. It was no wonder that Princess Xi Xia was anxious.
Princess Anxi looked at Princess Xi Xia, asking, "How do you want me to help you?"
Princess Xi Xia's eyes lit up as she hurriedly said, "As long as Royal Elder Sister agrees to form an alliance with the Da Chu State … My Nanzhao's strength is not inferior to Infinite Boundless Mountain's. This way … you can naturally ask the Prince Li to formally take me as his consort …"
"Impudent!" Hearing this, Princess Anxi could not help but fly into a rage. Looking coldly at Princess Xi Xia, she said, "I thought that you had matured over these years. I didn't think that you would still be so mischievous! You want me to drag the entire Nanzhao and its sons into the flames of war of the Central Plains for your personal matters? As the Princess of the Nanzhao, have you ever done anything for the people of the Nanzhao? What do they owe you? For your position alone, you want to risk your life? "
"I …" Being reprimanded so mercilessly by Princess Anxi, Princess Xi Xia was also stunned. Staring blankly at Princess Anxi, she said, "Royal Elder Sister, I …" Princess Anxi waved her hand to stop her from speaking, saying mildly, "You don't need to say anymore. If that Prince Li of yours is really a good person, I wouldn't mind taking a gamble for you. But let me tell you the truth. I don't think highly of him. If you are willing, you can return to the Nanzhao with me this time and find a good man to marry. Even if you are not a Princess, no one in the Nanzhao will dare to bully you. As for other things, you don't need to think about them. "
