Ye Li raised her cup to return the toast and said with a smile: "Shizi has written Nan Hou Furen for me."
Ye Li raised her cup to return the toast and said with a smile: "Shizi has written Nan Hou Furen for me."
Mo Jingli looked at the people talking and laughing in front of him. He lightly snorted and stood, saying: "Since Fu Zhao has made a toast, then Mo Xiuyao, I will also make a toast to you."
Mo Xiuyao raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, saying: "I also haven't drunk with Jing Li in a long time. Will I also make a toast to you and Li Wang Fei? "
Mo Jingli lightly snorted and waved away the servant girl who came forward to pour wine. He personally poured a cup for Mo Xiuyao and himself. He raised his head and drank it all. Then he looked provocatively at the wine cup in front of Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao smiled and did not speak. He raised the cup and drank it all.
"Again!" Mo Jingli raised the wine pot and filled it again. The two actually started to drink at the table.
Ye Li frowned as she looked at the two men drinking without a word. Minister Ye's eyes were about to fly out but no one paid attention. Old Madame Ye tried to persuade him but was ignored by Mo Jingli. Mo Xiuyao nodded at Old Madame Ye with a smile but did not refuse Mo Jingli's urging to drink. Ye Li glanced at Ah Jin who was standing not far away. Ah Jin detected Ye Li's gaze and showed an anxious expression as she looked at Mo Xiuyao who was silently drinking.
Mo Jingli once again reached out to pour wine, a jade-like hand covering the wine cup. Mo Jingli's face darkened. He raised an eyebrow at Mo Xiuyao and said: "Mo Xiuyao, what is the meaning of this?" Ye Li's expression was indifferent. She placed the wine cup in front of her, "Is Li Wang drunk? The one who stopped the wine was me. Why are you asking about my family's Prince? "Mo Jingli sneered and said disdainfully," What business does a woman have when a man drinks? I won't lower myself to a woman's level. "Ye Li smiled coldly," Women also won't lower themselves to Prince Li's level. It's just that this consort and Prince still need to visit the Xu family in the afternoon. Does Prince Li want our Prince to visit the Xu family while reeking of alcohol? One had to know that not everyone could be as carefree as King Li. Especially since the Xu family is a scholarly family. They have a long history of etiquette. Does Prince Li want this consort and Prince to be kicked out by uncle? "
"Mo Xiuyao, it can't be that you've developed the problem of being afraid of women after getting married, right?" Mo Jingli glared at Ye Li with a dark expression for a while before speaking to Mo Xiuyao with a cold smile.
Mo Xiuyao looked at him calmly. There was even a trace of a smile on his face, "Jingli, it's not a bad thing to respect your wife's opinion. Li is right. We still need to visit Sir Xu and Imperial Censor Xu in the afternoon. You know that Sir Hong Yu really dares to kick us out. " Mo Jingli was not going to let this go, "How could I not know that when returning home, not only does one have to see the maternal family, but one also has to see the maternal family? Stop wasting words. Mo Xiuyao, are you going to drink I's toast or not? "
"I'm not drinking." Mo Xiuyao replied bluntly. Ye Li, who was sitting next to him, could clearly feel that Mo Xiuyao's mood was unusually good. Even when he was talking to Mo Jingli, Ye Li could not help but hear a hint of teasing in his voice.
"Ahem … Prince Li, since Prince Ding still has things to do, let's not force him. It's not too late to drink when we have time. "Fu Zhao helplessly tried to mediate the situation. They had all grown up in the capital and had known each other since they were young. Mo Xiuyao and Mo Jingli had not been on good terms since they were young. Who would have thought that after not seeing each other for so many years, they would become even worse? This made things difficult for them, the bystanders, to handle. Looking at Mo Xiuyao, Fu Zhao could not help but rejoice. Mo Xiuyao's temper was much better now, and he could even listen to Wang Fei's advice. If it was in the past, the two of them would have either fought to the death or come to blows.
"Jingli …" Ye Ying coaxed, "Don't we still have to go out in the afternoon? Let's treat Prince Ding to a drink next time. "
Mo Jingli narrowed his eyes at her. He snorted softly and did not speak anymore. Everyone else also sighed in relief. Minister Ye rubbed his aching temples and swore in his heart that he would never let these two sons-in-law drink at the same table again.
After lunch, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao held hands and bid farewell to the Xu fu. Before they left, Xu Hongyu called Mo Xiuyao alone to the study to talk for an hour. Ye Li was not allowed to listen in and could only wait outside the study. The brothers of the Xu family, other than Xu Qingchen whose whereabouts were unknown and Xu Qingze who was ordered around by Second Aunt, were all in the yard with her. Xu Qingyan leaned on the table and looked at Ye Li with a grin as he said, "Li jiejie, my father won't eat brother-in-law. You don't have to worry about him." Ye Li rolled her eyes at him in exasperation. "Which eye of yours saw me worry about him?" Xu Qingyan pointed at his eyes and said with a smile, "Both of my eyes saw it."
The usually careless Xu Qingfeng felt a rare emotion. He looked at Ye Li and said sadly, "I didn't think that in just a few days, Li 'er would become someone else's. If Prince Ding bullies you, come back and tell san ge. San ge will definitely stand up for you. "Ye Li nodded and said seriously," I will remember. San ge, don't worry. " Xu Qingfeng sighed and said, "In a few days, I will be leaving the capital. San ge will tell second brother that when second brother gets married, second sister-in-law will often go to the Prince Ding Mansion to see you."
Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "San ge, you don't have to be so exaggerated. The Prince Ding Mansion is not a mountain of swords or a sea of flames. With us here, how could Prince Ding dare to bully Li jiejie? "
Xu Qingbai, who was by the side, rolled his eyes and said, "Who was the one who retreated the moment they saw Prince Ding?" How did the Xu family produce such a timid lad that they even hoped that he would stand up for Li-er?
Xu Qingyan's face turned red. Thinking of someone's methods, he couldn't help but tremble and said, "Si ge, you can't blame me for being timid. It's really someone … "Too cruel. Thinking of the two unlucky bandits in the courtyard that night, Xu Qingyan went back and had nightmares for a few nights. Now that he saw Mo Xiuyao, he reflexively wanted to hide behind Xu Qingbai. Ye Li looked at Xu Qingyan's guilty expression. Although he didn't finish his words, she could guess the gist of it. It was probably someone who did something frightening that scared Xu Qingyan. Ye Li didn't intend to delve into this. Mo Xiuyao was a famous general who had killed his way out of the battlefield when he was young. She didn't expect him to be a spotless and elegant gentleman.
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Ye Li began to busy herself with taking over the various affairs of the Prince's Mansion. Just the various account books made Ye Li look at them for two days before she was able to figure them out. At the same time, she was secretly amazed that the Ding Prince's Mansion was indeed rich. Several generations of Prince's accumulated family property made Ye Li amazed. When she was almost done, she received an invitation from the palace for a banquet. With the reason of sending envoys from various countries to bid farewell, whether it was Mo Xiuyao or Ye Li, they obviously couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Entering the palace once again, Ye Li's mood wasn't very good because of the unpleasant experience from the last time. The Ding Prince's Mansion's horse carriage didn't alight at the palace gates like ordinary nobles. Instead, it directly entered the palace gates. Mo Xiuyao was wearing a moon-white robe with a silver dragon embroidered with auspicious clouds and eagles. His hair was tied up with a white jade crown inlaid with sapphires. He looked cultured and elegant. "Is Li in a bad mood?"
Ye Li lazily leaned against the horse carriage and said, "It's nothing. The palace always makes people feel a little depressed."
