Ye Li found a place not far away and sat down. She drank the chrysanthemum wine and smiled as if she was looking at the flowers casually. In fact, she had been paying attention to Ye Ying's situation.
Wei Lin whispered to Ye Li, "Ever since Dongfang You married into the Li Palace, she has not been good at socializing. In the beginning, she offended many people. But with Mo Jingli and Dongfang Hui's protection, no one dared to do anything to her. After that, many things in the Li Palace were handled by Princess Xixia and Concubine Xian Zhao. This time, Princess Xixia died. I heard that Concubine Xian Zhao was so angry that she was bedridden. That was why Concubine Rong was in charge of the overall situation. "
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at Dongfang You from afar. She asked, "Do you think she has changed a lot?"
Zhuo Jing nodded. "She has changed a lot." In the past, Dongfang You gave people the feeling that she was self-righteous but did not know anything. But now, even if Dongfang You sat there without saying or doing anything, she still gave people a chilling feeling. You could tell by looking at how the women around her all avoided her and squeezed to Ye Ying's side. In fact, Ye Ying was more afraid. If she could, she would have stood up and run away. She did not want to be with Dongfang You for a moment.
"It has been less than half a year. This woman has changed too much." Wei Lin said in disbelief. It was not that people could not change. But Dongfang You's change could be said to be two extremes. How perverted did she have to be to change so much all of a sudden?
Ye Li also sighed. "The word 'love' … How can outsiders like us explain it clearly?"
"Mo Jingli is here …" Zhuo Jing whispered.
Ye Li looked up and saw Mo Jingli not far away, surrounded by a group of guards. Walking side by side with Mo Jingli was a man in his fifties, dressed in the clothes of the Central Plains, but his figure and appearance were obviously different from the people of the Central Plains. Although Ye Li had not really seen Helian Zhen, she knew that the man walking with Mo Jingli must be Helian Zhen. Judging from the expressions on their faces, it was obvious that even if the alliance had not been finalized, it should be close.
Ye Li frowned slightly. Although Mo Xiuyao had the ambition to wipe out the three allied forces in one fell swoop, Ye Li felt that it was still a bit risky. Even when she came to Jiangnan, she was still considering whether or not she should try to destroy this alliance. However, due to his trust in Mo Xiuyao, he suppressed this thought.
While Ye Li was looking at Mo Jingli and the others, Mo Jingli was also looking at Ye Li and the others. Ye Li was dressed in white. She was shorter than Zhuo Jing and Wei Lin, who were standing behind her. However, her appearance and aura were far from comparable to the two of them. If they had seen such an elegant young man, they would definitely not forget him. Mo Jingli glanced at him and frowned involuntarily. He asked, "Who is that?"
Mo Jingli's guards were all ordinary guards. How could they know the identity of a young man who they had never met before? One of them apologized in a low voice and left to investigate Ye Li's identity.
Ye Li was confident in her disguise. Seeing Mo Jingli staring at her, she did not avoid him. She stepped forward openly and cupped her hands with a smile. "Yunzhou's Chu Junwei greets the Regent."
Hearing the words "Yunzhou," Mo Jingli could not help but frown. When people mentioned Yunzhou, the first thing that came to mind was not that it was a heavenly treasure and was as rich as Jiangnan. Instead, it was the Xu family of Yunzhou. Although Mo Jingli did not know who Chu Junwei was, he remembered that the first madame of the Xu family's family was surnamed Chu. Moreover, the surname Chu was also a prominent family in Yunzhou. He raised his eyebrows and said, "So it's Young Master Chu. How should I address the first young master of the Xu family and Young Master Chu?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "Prince is too polite. The father of the first madame of the Xu family and my grandfather are cousins. Speaking of which, I can barely call Young Master Xu cousin. "This relationship did not seem distant, but it was not close either. There were not many members of the Xu family, but the Chu family was an extremely large family in Yunzhou. The main branch of the family, the main branch, and the side branch, there were at least a few hundred if not a thousand. Moreover, the first madame of the Xu family did not have any direct siblings. After marrying into the Xu family, she did not have a close relationship with the Chu family. Therefore, it was a bit difficult for Chu Junwei to have any relationship with the Xu family.
Mo Jingli nodded and looked at Ye Li, pushing the faint sense of familiarity to the back of his mind. Doctor Xu was a relative of the Xu family, so it was not surprising that he had some similarities with Xu Qingchen. "The Chu family has lived in Yunzhou for a long time. Why did Young Master Chu come to Jiangnan?"
Ye Li lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly. He said lightly, "Although I am the son of the first wife, I am from a side branch. Moreover, Yunzhou now …" He shook his head as if sighing, "There is no reason for me to stay in Yunzhou. Therefore, I wanted to come to Jiangnan to have a look. It's just a trip. Thank you for your concern, Prince. " Mo Jingli looked at him for a long time and did not notice anything wrong. He nodded and said, "In that case, I hope Young Master Chu will enjoy himself. The Chu family is also a famous family in Da Chu State. If Young Master Chu wants to stay in Nanjing and do something for the Da Chu State, why don't you come to the Regent's Residence in two days and we can talk? "
Ye Li was stunned. She did not expect that Mo Jingli would want to recruit her. It was just that whether he wanted to recruit Chu Junwei or the Chu family behind him was worth discussing. Although she had no intention of becoming an official, Ye Li still pretended to be flattered. She cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Prince. In a few days, I will definitely pay you a visit."
Helian Zhen was also there. Mo Jingli naturally could not pay attention to Ye Li for too long. He nodded and walked with Helian Zhen into the garden. Helian Zhen turned around and looked at Ye Li and the others with some doubt. He smiled and asked, "That Young Master Chu seems to be very extraordinary. I did not expect that in Da Chu State, other than the immortal Young Master of the Xu family, there would be such a handsome person."
Mo Jingli had no intention of talking more. He smiled faintly and said, "The Chu family is a famous family in Da Chu State. They have produced many outstanding people in the past. In Da Chu State, how can only the Young Master of the Xu family be outstanding? "
Helian Zhen smiled faintly and did not say anything. He turned around and looked back. He saw that handsome Young Master looking at him with a faint smile. He did not know why, but a feeling of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart. When he looked again, he saw that Young Master Chu had already walked in another direction with two guards.
In the center of the garden full of chrysanthemums, there was an open pavilion. On the second floor, Mo Jingli and Helian Zhen sat facing each other. Helian Zhen drank a mouthful of chrysanthemum wine. He could not help but frown and say, "The wine of your Central Plains is indeed fragrant, but it does not have the taste of alcohol." The people of the Northern Tribes loved strong alcohol. Naturally, they would not be interested in a honey wine like the chrysanthemum wine.
Mo Jingli did not mind. His expression was indifferent as he sipped the fine wine. He smiled and said, "Strong wine has its benefits, and this chrysanthemum wine also has its benefits. This wine needs to be tasted carefully. " Although both sides had a common understanding of the alliance, they still felt disdain for each other in their hearts. The people of the Northern Tribes looked down on the people of the Central Plains. The people of the Central Plains also looked down on the people of the Northern Tribes.
