Mo Xiuyao couldn't help but smile, "I don't know how many people think of ways to enter the palace. Li's way of thinking is very special. "
Ye Li faintly glanced at him and said, "Stepping on the bones of countless people to climb up, or being stepped on by others to climb up, is it really that interesting?"
Mo Xiuyao thought and then said with a smile, "The process is definitely boring, but the majority of people can't see the process. They only need to imagine that they have climbed to the top. The pleasure of standing above tens of thousands of people is enough for them to forget everything. "Ye Li raised an eyebrow and stared at him for a while before asking," Xiuyao also thinks this way? " Mo Xiuyao stilled. He looked down at his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair. A long time later, he said in a deep voice, "It's not just that I don't want to be stepped on by others to climb up." The carriage was silent for a while before Ye Li's voice sounded, "I don't like stepping on other people, but I also don't like people stepping on me."
"Prince, we've arrived. The Empress invites Wang Fei, "A Jin said in a deep voice from outside the carriage. The carriage was gradually coming to a stop. Ye Li estimated inside that the carriage was not at any of the places she had been last time. Based on the general location, it should be near the Empress' Feng De Palace. Mo Xiuyao tilted his head and said, "I'm going to see the Emperor and can't go in with you. Can you go by yourself?"
Ye Li nodded and prepared to leave the carriage. Mo Xiuyao pulled her back and said in a low voice, "Be careful. If anything happens … … immediately have Qing Luan come out and find A Jin. He's near Feng De Palace." Ye Li frowned and said, "But you … …" A Jin was Mo Xiuyao's personal guard and the person he trusted the most. If A Jin wasn't by his side … … Mo Xiuyao laughed and said, "You don't think that A Jin is the only person I can trust, right? Don't worry, go. "
"Alright, see you later." Hearing him say this, Ye Li didn't insist and got off the carriage. There were already people from Feng De Palace waiting outside the carriage. Seeing Ye Li come down, they hurriedly came forward to greet: "This servant greets Princess Ding. This servant is here on the orders of the Empress to welcome wang fei." Ye Li nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."
"I don't dare. Princess, please follow this servant."
When they entered Feng De Palace, there were already quite a few upper-class women present. Feng De Palace was decorated with a noble atmosphere, but it wasn't overly extravagant. The finer details had a special kind of elegance. Ye Li couldn't help but feel a little curious about this Empress who wasn't famous among the common people.
"Greetings to the Empress. Long live the Empress." Ye Li walked into the hall and respectfully bowed to the graceful woman in the hall.
"Imperial concubine, please dispense with the formalities. Sit." The Empress's voice was elegant and peaceful, without any of the high and mighty aura of the Empress as imagined.
"Many thanks, Empress." Ye Li got up and was led by a palace maid to an empty seat at the front. Although Ye Li was considered the youngest of the upper-class women present, Ye Li's status wasn't high. But in terms of status, the Imperial Household was above all the princes, marquises, and dukes in the capital. The status of the Imperial Concubine was naturally above all the other women. Even though Ye Li came late, there was still a seat at the front left for her. Ye Li casually looked around and saw many familiar faces. The First Madam of the Duke Hua Fu was with Hua Tian Xiang. Beside Zhao Yang Eldest Princess and Zhao Ren Eldest Princess were Princess Xi Xia and Princess Rong Hua, who she hadn't seen in a long time. There was also the beautiful Li Wangfei Ye Ying. At this time, sitting in Feng De Palace, it was clear that they all had some kind of relationship with the Imperial Household or had titles. Ordinary titled madams weren't among them.
After sitting down, Ye Li looked at the Empress sitting on the phoenix throne. The Empress was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, graceful and noble, showing that she was the only queen of the country. When Ye Li looked over, she happened to see the Empress looking at her with a smile. She couldn't help but be startled. The Empress wasn't particularly beautiful. She was also from the Duke Hua Fu, but Hua Tian Xiang's appearance was better than the Empress's. But that kind of peaceful and graceful posture was something that Hua Tian Xiang and all the other upper-class women present didn't have.
"Empress, is this the Imperial Concubine?" A clear voice came from the opposite side, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Ye Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl in colorful clothes sitting on the right side of Zhao Yang Eldest Princess. Obviously, her status was extraordinary.
The Empress smiled and said, "Yes, this is the Imperial Concubine. Speaking of which, Princess Lingyun has been ill since she came to the Chu capital. She hasn't seen the Imperial Concubine yet. Princess Ding, this is Princess Lingyun of the Xiling Kingdom. "
Ye Li nodded and said, "Princess Lingyun greets you."
With Ye Li's status, even if Ling Yun was a princess, she couldn't be disrespectful. But this princess who had been smiling prettily just now acted as if she didn't hear Ye Li's words. She impudently looked at Ye Li before saying, "I heard Brother Wang say that you pulled out the Cloud Embracing Sword?" Ye Li nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, "I have indeed seen the Cloud Embracing Sword." Princess Lingyun wasn't satisfied with this answer. She stood up and raised her chin, saying, "This princess doesn't believe it. This princess wants to compete with you."
"I don't know how to use a sword." Ye Li calmly said.
"How is that possible? How did you pull out the Cloud Embracing Sword if you don't know how to use a sword? "Princess Lingyun stared at her and said aggressively.
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and said with a faint smile, "Princess, pulling out a sword and using a sword are two different things. Who said that people who don't know how to use a sword can't pull out a sword? " She really didn't understand why these princesses and young misses were so insistent on forcing others to compete with this and that. They didn't care if the other party knew what they wanted to compete with. "This princess doesn't care. This princess wants to compete with you. Could it be that you don't dare to accept the challenge? "
Ye Li stood up, "Princess, you are asking this in front of the empress and all the madams and young misses in the capital. How could I not dare?"
Princess Lingyun said with satisfaction, "Since it's like this, where is your sword?"
"In reality, I haven't touched any other sword besides the Cloud Embracing Sword. The sword that Jhennam Of Gojoseon sent me that day was the first time I encountered such a weapon. So I don't have a sword and I don't know how to hold one. "
"Pfft — — forcing someone who hasn't even touched a sword to compete with you … … Empress, can Tian Xiang compete with the general in embroidery tomorrow and claim that my embroidery skills are the best in the world?" Hua Tian Xiang leaned against Madame Hua and asked. Her voice wasn't loud, but it spread throughout the entire palace. Many people couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. The empress glared at Hua Tian Xiang, but there was a faint smile in her eyes, "You have the nerve to talk about your little embroidery." Hua Tian Xiang covered her face and laughed, "Aunt Empress, how can you say that? I just want to have a good reputation. The title of being the best in the world is so impressive. "
Ye Li looked at Hua Tian Xiang gratefully. Hua Tian Xiang winked at her and leaned against Madame Hua, covering her face shyly.
The empress held back her laughter and said to Princess Lingyun, "Princess, Princess Ding isn't good at swordsmanship, so let's not compete."
Princess Lingyun's face was already red from Hua Tian Xiang's words. She gritted her teeth and said, "She clearly pulled out the Cloud Embracing Sword. How can she not know swordsmanship? She's clearly toying with this princess. "
