107. Continuously
"Your Highness has great skills." After easily dealing with the last assassin, Yeluye turned around and praised Ye Li. The assassin was too close to Yao Ji, and his position with Princess Ding was a little wrong. The jade pendant thrown by Princess Ding was able to just hit the hidden weapon away without hurting Yao Ji. This was definitely not something that could be done by luck. Eyesight, skills, and strength are all indispensable. Ye Li had no time to pay attention to Yeluye's compliments. Just now, she didn't have anything suitable for making hidden weapons, so she just tore off a jade pendant from Mo Xiuyao and threw it out. Now that the person was rescued, she had time to worry about Mo Xiuyao's jade pendant. After all, what he could carry with him must not be an ordinary thing. She walked towards where the jade pendant fell. Mo Xiuyao grabbed her and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ye Li apologized, "I'll go check on the jade pendant. Is that... okay?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled, looked at her and asked, "What if it's urgent?" Ye Li frowned in distress. If it was just valuable, it would be fine. But if it had some special use or special commemorative meaning, it would be troublesome. Seeing Ye Li looking at him pitifully, Mo Xiuyao felt even happier. Pulling Ye Li into his arms, he said with a bitter face, "Although it's not an important thing, it is also my favorite jade pendant. Madam, what do you say we should do?" Ye Li looked up at him, "I'll compensate you with a new one?" Mo Xiuyao nodded generously, "
"Okay, it's settled. You have to choose it yourself." Seeing him so happy, Ye Li couldn't help but feel even more guilty. She secretly reflected in her heart whether she had neglected him too much. Since getting married, Mo Xiuyao had personally taken care of all her food, clothing and expenses, but she... Ye Li felt a little guilty when she thought of herself as if she had been neglected by him.
Just last year, she gave him a piece of clothing on his birthday, but it was only when someone around her reminded her that she thought of it. Thinking of this, Ye Li felt that she was not being nice to Mo Xiuyao, and nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll go choose it myself."
"My lady is so nice..." Mo Xiuyao said with a satisfied smile.
Although Mo Xiuyao said he didn't care, Ye Li still went over to take out her purse and put the broken jade away. The two of them were tender and warm, but on the other side, there was a chill and a heavy atmosphere. Even Yelu Ye, who was watching the show, couldn't help but stand a little further away. Yao Ji's face was pale, and she no longer had the seductive charm she had just on the stage. The night wind in June made her
She couldn't help but hug her arms tightly with trembling, and the colorful dress on her body only made her look even paler and more haggard. Mu Yang looked at the woman in front of him in silence, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes. He sighed and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, I'll take you back." Yao Ji took a step back and said coldly: "Don't bother the prince, Yao Ji knows
The road can go back on its own.”
"Yao Ji!" Mu Yang called out in a deep voice, with a hint of displeasure in his voice, "Have you made enough trouble? Throwing an embroidery ball in a place like this... Do you want to destroy yourself?"
Yao Ji raised her head and forced a bitter smile on her pale face. "Your Highness, what you mean is that it's okay for me to toss the embroidered ball in Qingchengfang? The people here are all ordinary people, and the people who come and go in Qingchengfang are all powerful and wealthy businessmen. At least I won't disgrace the title of the capital's number one dancer, right?" Mu Yang's eyes flashed with regret, and he whispered
"You know that's not what I meant." Yao Ji was quite respected in the capital, not only because she had the support of the third son of the Feng family, the son of the Marquis of Muyang, and not just because she was a superb dancer, but more importantly, she never received private guests and had a reputation for keeping herself clean. If Yao Ji really... then from tomorrow onwards, I'm afraid that those people in the capital who were against her would be
The rich and powerful playboys that Yao Ji coveted were about to invade Qingchengfang. No one would be able to help her then, after all, the Marquis of Muyang Mansion and the Feng Family would not become enemies with all the rich and powerful in the capital for a prostitute.
Yao Ji glanced at Ye Li standing aside, with sadness and envy in her eyes. She walked slowly forward and bowed slightly to Mu Yang, "Thank you for your care over the years, my Lord. Yao Ji is very grateful. But... please go back, and we don't need to see each other again."
"Yao Ji!"
Yao Ji didn't look at him, but nodded to Ye Li and walked towards the end of the street. Ye Li frowned and secretly made a gesture to order the secret guards to follow and escort Yao Ji back to Qingchengfang. Although it was curfew, it was still dangerous for a woman to walk alone in the capital late at night. Mu Yang frowned and wanted to chase after her, but Ye Li opened his mouth and said, "I'm afraid it's not a good idea to go back to Qingchengfang."
She called him, "Sir, please stay."
Mu Yang turned around and looked at Ye Li in confusion. Ye Li asked in a deep voice, "What did the prince want to do by chasing her?" Mu Yang frowned and said, "To send her back, of course." Ye Li said, "So what if she's sent back? Miss Yao Ji and I have met each other before, so how about I ask someone to do it for me? Or... the prince doesn't trust me?" Mu Yang hesitated.
Looking at Ye Li, "But..."
"If the prince cannot give Miss Yao Ji the future she wants, it is better for her to make a decisive move. Although breaking her wrist is painful, I think Miss Yao Ji will be able to survive with her pride. If the prince keeps wavering, it is possible that the hearts of the two women will be hurt in the future." Ye Li said in a calm voice, looking at Mu Yang steadily when he talked about the two women.
She even emphasized the words on purpose. She reminded him that he was responsible for not only Yao Ji but also Miss Sun who had made an engagement with him. Mu Yang was startled, and glared at Ye Li angrily, saying, "You don't know anything!" Ye Li was silent. She really didn't know anything. She didn't know about the relationship between Yao Ji and Mu Yang, nor did she know about his relationship with that girl.
What is Miss Sun like? With Yao Ji's status, if the Prince's Mansion is willing to accept her or Yao Ji is willing, she should be able to enter the Marquis Muyang's Mansion as a concubine. But now it has become like this, whether it is Yao Ji herself who is unwilling or Marquis Muyang disagrees or the Sun family has opinions, it is obviously not feasible. In this case, Mu Yang's current hesitation is obviously not a good thing.
"Let's go back." After a moment's silence, Ye Li looked up and said to Mo Xiuyao.
Mo Xiuyao nodded, glanced at Mu Yang and said calmly: "Given the relationship between the Marquis of Muyang and the Sun family, the Marquis of Muyang will never accept Yao Ji." After saying that, regardless of Mu Yang's reaction, he nodded to Yeluye and pulled Ye Li towards the direction of Prince Ding's Mansion. It seemed that Mo Xiuyao's words made Mu Yang's expression even uglier. He stood there for a long time before finally turning around and going in the opposite direction. Yeluye looked at the two figures going away and raised his eyebrows with interest, "Interesting woman, it seems that Mo Xiuyao really has deep feelings for Princess Ding..." Yeluye saw the jade pendant clearly. It was given to the founding Prince Ding Mo Sheyun by Emperor Taizu when the Great Chu passed by. It can be said to be a symbol of the status of Prince Ding. However, as the Dingguo Palace became more and more powerful, it no longer needed a jade pendant to represent its status, and it gradually became an ordinary decorative jade pendant. However, for the Dingguo Palace, the significance of this jade is still incomparable to ordinary gems.
"Mo Xiuyao, Mo Xiuyao... is it really okay to expose such an obvious weakness in front of others? Or... you don't even take this prince seriously?!"
The night sky was filled with a graceful and elegant eyebrow, making the quiet streets seem a little dim and cold. The two walked hand in hand, and Mo Xiuyao smiled softly and said, "Are you still worried, Ah Li?"
Ye Li was startled and looked at him in confusion. Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Aren't you worried about Yao Ji?" Ye Li sighed helplessly and said, "Yao Ji is such an outstanding woman, it's a pity that she was born in a shabby family, otherwise she wouldn't have such a rough life." Mo Xiuyao looked down at her, "Does A Li want to help her? If A Li speaks for her, maybe Muyang Marquis' Mansion will accept her." Ye Li shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about whether Yao Ji is willing or not. If Princess Ding forces Muyang Marquis' Mansion to accept someone they don't want to accept, even if Yao Ji enters Muyang Marquis' Mansion, it will not be good. Life goes on. Besides... Miss Sun is Mu Yang's legitimate fiancée, isn't she? She didn't do anything, why should she be forced to accept a... rival in love? If Mu Yang really loves Yao Ji more than anything else, he will naturally handle everything. If not... how can there be so many things in this world that can please both sides? I still say that when it is time to give up, give up, and when it is time to make a decision, make a decision. "Mo Xiuyao sighed softly and said, "Ali is really cruel. If Ali came forward to plead for her, both the Muyang Marquisate and the Sun family would give Ali face. "
Ye Li glanced at him and said, "If someone comes to me and asks me to accept a woman as a concubine for her sake, I will just shoo her away. The prince is so concerned about this issue, but does he have this concern? It doesn't matter... I'm easy to talk to, as long as the prince tells me in person." Looking at Mo Xiuyao with a half-smile, Ye Li smiled very kindly. Mo Xiuyao touched his nose helplessly, "I will never have such concerns in my life, don't worry, Ah Li." Ye Li snorted lightly and did not comment on his assurance.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Mo Xiuyao was invited to attend the meeting. Apparently, the people in Dingwang Palace had received the news that Yelu Ye appeared in the capital. Ye Li just turned around and went back to her room, and Qin Feng appeared in front of her with a strange look on his face. Ye Li raised her eyebrows in confusion, looked at him and smiled: "What? Has the training been too easy recently? Why don't you go back and rest?" Qin Feng hesitated for a moment and said: "Princess, that Miss Yao Ji..."
Ye Li raised her eyebrows, suddenly realizing, "You sent Yao Ji back? Commander Qin is really free, it seems that I should mention to An San that your training can be advanced a little bit. What happened to Yao Ji?"
Qin Feng looked at Ye Li with a bitter face and said, "He fainted on the roadside before he even reached Qingchengfang."
"So?" Ye Li looked at him with a smile, her eyes showing obvious teasing. Qin Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "No reason... I sent her back, and I just came to report to the princess."
Ye Li sighed, looked at Qin Feng and said, "You think she is pitiful, don't you?" Qin Feng remained silent. Ye Li said in a deep voice, "I also think she is pitiful, but there are many things that we cannot do just because we feel sympathy, because there may be others who will become just as pitiful because of our so-called kindness and good deeds." Qin Feng understood and nodded, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Princess." Ye Li raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The moon is bright, and the people are beautiful. Are you happy and tired?"
Qin Feng was stunned, and quickly turned around and ran out, "I'll take my leave!"
Seeing Qin Feng running away like he was running for his life, Ye Li couldn't help but smile. Thinking of Yao Ji's stiff and straight back when she left, she could only sigh.
After promising Mo Xiuyao to personally choose a jade pendant for him, and remembering that Mo Xiuyao's birthday was coming up, Ye Li went out with a few maids the next day. She looked around in several shops she often visited, but didn't find any jade pendants or jade stones that she liked. Ye Li was not in a hurry, because the real top-quality jade was something that could only be obtained but not sought after. Some of the good jades were either already carved and shaped but not to her liking, or the quality was not satisfactory enough. If she looked for it directly in the storehouse in the mansion, it would be insincere. Walking on the street, Ye Li thought with a headache.
"Princess Ding, what a coincidence to see you again?" Just as she walked out of a jade shop, a hearty voice came from behind. Ye Li raised her eyebrows, turned around and looked at the man standing leisurely with his arms crossed not far away, and nodded: "Prince Yelu. Hasn't the prince entered the palace to meet the emperor yet?" Yelu Ye smiled indifferently: "It will take some time for the wedding procession to arrive in the capital. The prince will take a private break these few days, so I won't bother your majesty for now." Ye Li nodded and smiled lightly: "In that case, I won't disturb Prince Yelu from relaxing." Coincidence? The capital is so big, we just met last night and met here this morning, isn't it a coincidence? Yeluye seemed to have not noticed Ye Li's estrangement at all, and smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this is my first time in Chujing, and I feel really unfamiliar here. I wonder if the princess can show me around as a host?"
Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled, her beautiful face full of apology, "I'm really sorry, I don't go out very often, and I may not be as familiar with Chujing as the prince. I'm afraid I can't lead the way for the prince. Speaking of which, the prince said yesterday that he would visit the palace, and my prince waited at home early this morning to wait for the prince to come. Now it seems that there is no one to wait for him."
Yeluye's mouth twitched, and he smiled and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I feel that I have not yet met your Majesty, and it is not appropriate for me to visit the Dingguo Palace privately, so as not to cause trouble to the Dingguo Prince and the Princess. What do you think?"
Ye Li smiled calmly and said, "Your Highness is very thoughtful. I still have some things to do, so I will take my leave now."
Seeing Ye Li turn around and leave without hesitation, Yeluye narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips as he said, "I got a piece of top-quality jadeite a few days ago. I wonder if the princess is interested in it."
Ye Li did not turn around after hearing his words, and did not even pause for a moment. Yelu Ye raised his eyebrows and continued, "Princess, don't you want to know what the jade pendant you smashed yesterday was?"
Ye Li slowly turned around, and just as Yeluye showed a smug smile, she said calmly: "Since the prince didn't say anything, it means he doesn't care. No matter what the jade pendant is, it has been broken. If I want to know, I will naturally ask the prince in person. Why should I learn it from others? Prince, what do you think?"
The smile on Yeluye's face gradually faded, and he looked at the departing figure of the woman in front of him thoughtfully, "No wonder she is favored by Mo Xiuyao, it's really interesting. Princess Ding, we will see each other again."
