Report

"Young miss! Young miss, something bad happened! "

In the quiet and secluded courtyard, a light green figure blew into the inner room like a gust of wind. The wind chimes hanging by the door tinkled.

In a simple and elegant room, a graceful figure sat facing the half-open window. The needle and thread in her hand did not stop at all because of the disturbance of the person who came in. When the little girl took a breath, the woman stopped and turned around with a smile, "What made you so surprised?" The woman was beautiful and elegant, but her eyes had a trace of agility and sharpness that did not match her delicate appearance. She was dressed in plain clothes, and her long hair was casually tied up with a jade hairpin. If others saw her, it would be hard to believe that this woman was the eldest daughter of the minister.

"Young miss! You still have the mood to embroider? Do you know … Do you know that Prince Li broke off the engagement? " The little girl grabbed the embroidery in her hand and stamped her feet anxiously. Since Prince Li broke off the engagement three days ago, she was so anxious that she almost got angry. However, her young miss acted as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Qing Shuang, Prince Li broke off the engagement three days ago. Aren't you a little too slow to react now that you're panicking? "Ye Li didn't care about her rude behavior and looked at her little maid in amusement.

"Young miss!" Qing Shuang glared at her young miss, "I am not anxious for Prince Li." Her young miss did not care about Prince Li, so why should she care? But … "Oh, young miss. The Emperor bestowed another marriage for you! Master asked you to go out and receive the edict. "

"Another marriage?" Ye Li was startled and could not help but frown. She thought that she could live peacefully for a few years after Prince Li broke off the engagement. After all, there were not many people in this era who were willing to marry a woman whose engagement was broken off. "Our family is just the minister's mansion. Why does the Emperor pay so much attention to us?" Three days ago, the engagement was broken off. Three days later, another marriage was bestowed. Did the Emperor value the minister's mansion too much, or did he not like the man who was bestowed the marriage?

Qing Shuang's eyes turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's Prince Ding! Young miss must have instigated the Emperor. She has been bullying young miss since she was young. Now … she wants young miss to marry Prince Ding. Wu wu … "

Ye Li looked at her daughter helplessly. Such a crybaby was really a waste of the name Qingshuang. "Alright, don't talk nonsense outside. Let's go and receive the decree. "

Ye family hall

"By the will of the Heavens, the Emperor decrees: The eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Li, is intelligent and virtuous. She possesses both talent and virtue, making her a good match. Prince Mo Xiuyao of the Betrothal Dynasty will be his official consort. They chose an auspicious day to get married. That's all. "

Everyone in Ye Li expressed their gratitude in unison. The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict handed it to Ye Li and smiled, "Congratulations to Madam Ye, congratulations to Miss Ye." Ye Li took the imperial edict and endured the eunuch's ear-piercing laughter. She smiled faintly and said, "Many thanks, eunuch. Thank you for your trouble." The eunuch looked at Ye Li with some surprise. It was said that the third daughter of the Ye family was the most famous daughter in the capital. She was famous for her lack of talent, appearance, and virtue. But looking at the woman in front of him, although she was not as beautiful as Ye Zhaoyi in the palace, nor was she as beautiful as the fourth daughter of the Ye family, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, she was still a rare beauty. Moreover, her manners were graceful and her speech was appropriate. She was not like Ye Zhaoyi who did not know her place. Glancing at the Ye family members who did not hide their schadenfreude, the eunuch understood. Although he felt some pity for Miss Ye, these matters were not something a eunuch like him could manage. He said that he did not dare and took his leave.

The Mistress of the Ye family politely asked the housekeeper to personally send him out. Then she glanced at Ye Li and pretended to smile lovingly, "Fortunately, the Emperor is wise and arranged another good marriage for Miss Ye. Otherwise … "Otherwise, how could a woman who had her marriage annulled be married off?

Ye Li's expression was normal, but she sneered in her heart. A good marriage. Did they think that she did not know anything because she did not like to go out? Prince Ding, Mo Xiuyao, had been seriously injured when he was eighteen. His legs were crippled and his face was ruined. He had been bedridden ever since. He had taken two official consorts. It was thought that in less than half a month after marrying into the family, one had drowned and the other had died of shock on their wedding night. There were rumors that it was because she had seen Prince Ding's face that she had been scared to death. If that was not the case, with Prince Ding's status, how could he not have a consort at the age of twenty five. "Madame is right. No matter what, Prince Ding is a first rank Prince. Li'er is indeed climbing up the social ladder. "

The Mistress of the Ye family's expression stiffened. She looked at Ye Li and said, "Since you know, then prepare for the wedding. Don't lose face for our manor. Your fourth sister will be getting married soon. The manor has been very busy these days. "

"I know. I've made Madame worry."

"I am the Mistress of the Ye family. Naturally, I have to worry about these things." The Mistress of the Ye family said. Seeing Ye Li's calm expression, she snorted and left.

Ye Li smiled as she watched the Mistress of the Ye family leave. She raised her eyebrows but did not say anything. Although she was the Di daughter of the Ye family, she was not the current Mistress of the manor, Wang shi. Instead, she was the daughter of Minister Ye's first wife, Xu shi. Xu shi was born into a scholarly family. After giving birth to Ye Li, her health had not been good. Minister Ye favored his concubine, Wang shi. Even the power of the manor was given to Wang shi after Xu shi became seriously ill. When Ye Li was seven years old, Xu shi died. It was also at that time that Ye Li became the current Ye Li. After Wang shi was promoted to the head of the manor, she was afraid that others would say that she mistreated her first wife's daughter, so she did not dare to mistreat her. However, she did make things difficult for her from time to time. Ye Li calmly resolved them one by one. As a result, Wang shi became more and more displeased with her.

"Third Sister, congratulations." As soon as Wang shi left, the girls of the Ye family who were still in the boudoir immediately gathered around. They all had expressions of pity and schadenfreude on their faces as they congratulated her. The first to speak was the Sixth Young Miss, Ye Lin. She was the daughter of a concubine. Since she was young, she liked to hang around Wang shi's daughters. At the same time, she would make things difficult for Ye Li to curry favor with Wang shi's daughter. Ye Li usually did not want to bicker with her. It was just a way for a concubine's daughter to survive. As long as she did not go too far, she did not want to bicker with a child who was only ten years old.

"Third Sister, what is there to congratulate? Marrying Prince Ding, it's scary just thinking about it. That Prince Ding is ugly and crippled. He also scared a Wangfei to death. Maybe the first Wangfei was also killed by him. We should congratulate Fourth Sister. In a month, Fourth Sister will be Li Wangfei. " Fifth Young Miss Ye Shan looked fawningly at Fourth Young Miss Ye Ying, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. She could not hide the envy and jealousy in her eyes.

Ye Ying was indeed worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital. Her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes were like autumn water. Her jade-like face was exquisite and beautiful. Her every move had a tenderness and elegance that made people want to take pity on her. However, such tenderness was not as stunning in the eyes of Ye Li, who had seen countless beauties in her previous life.

"We are all sisters. There is no need to congratulate. In the future, Mother will definitely choose a good husband for Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister. " Ye Ying spoke softly. Her voice was gentle and pleasing to the ear, and every single one of her movements carried a charm that caused others to be intoxicated, causing the spectators to feel a wave of jealousy. "On the other hand, Third Sister … I hope you can forgive King Li." Ying Ying looked at Ye Li apologetically. Ye Li smiled generously and said to Ye Ying: "It's alright. I guess Prince Li and I are not fated. I can't ruin the relationship between us sisters because of a man, right? "
