Imperial Capital 58: Princess Lingyun's Farce

The moment she fell into the water, Ye Li couldn't help but curse. Although she had been trying her best to improve her skills and physique over the years, it was still a long way from the training in her previous life, where she had to go through wind and rain and crawl in the mud. Moreover, even though this body was not pampered, it was indeed a lady from a well-off family who was well-bred. She still had a slight spasm when she first entered the water. Fortunately, Ye Li was mentally prepared and quickly adjusted herself to go in the direction of Princess Lingyun and successfully grabbed Princess Lingyun who was struggling in the water and dragged her to the bottom of the water.

Ye Li could tell at a glance that Princess Lingyun could not swim at all, and she could not help but sneer. Very good, should she admire the princess's courage to sacrifice herself? She dared to jump into the water without knowing how to swim! Then she should feel what it feels like to drown, and I believe she will know what it means to do things within her ability in the future. Princess Lingyun was not panicked at first, as she knew someone would come to rescue her soon. But soon she found that she was sinking rapidly to the bottom of the water, and she could not help but struggle even more fiercely in panic. Ye Li hummed softly in her heart, and clearly felt the ripples in the water, knowing that someone had gone into the water. Ye Li quickly turned behind Princess Lingyun and knocked her over, then dragged her to the other side, and only pushed her back when she estimated that Princess Lingyun was about to reach her limit.

It seemed like just a moment, and everyone in the Yu Garden gathered by the lake. The Xiling Kingdom guards and the guards in the Yu Garden who arrived first had already jumped into the water to save people.

"There's someone there!" Someone by the lake suddenly shouted. Everyone looked over and saw a colorful brocade rising to the surface of the water. Then they saw Princess Ding also floating up, holding Princess Lingyun in one hand. In everyone's eyes, it was obvious that Princess Ding had saved Princess Lingyun. Ye Li watched the guards who had spotted them and swam over quickly, smiling at the unconscious Princess Lingyun, "Princess, wake up. Princess... someone is here to save us." Originally, Ye Li's efforts were not enough to save her. Princess Lingyun, who was dragged out of the water, quickly opened her eyes. But she found that Ye Li was smiling mockingly at her, and she didn't care about the situation they were in at the moment. Princess Lingyun screamed, "Let me go!" and then struggled hard.

"Princess, don't move. Be careful..."

"I don't want you to interfere!" Seeing that the guards were already in front of her, Princess Ling Yun pushed Ye Li away fearlessly.

Very good... With a look of horror, Ye Li sank back into the water in the direction pointed by Princess Ling Yun in front of everyone.

As soon as Princess Lingyun came ashore, the palace maids waiting on the shore immediately brought dry clothes for her to put on. Qingyu and Qingxia glared at Princess Lingyun angrily and said, "Princess, our princess was kind enough to save you, why did you push her!"

Princess Lingyun looked up and was stunned to see that many people present were looking at her with contempt. This was different from what she had originally planned! "I didn't push her!" Hua Tianxiang sneered, "A princess dares to do it but not to take responsibility. Even if you want to lie, please make up a lie that can deceive people. Or do you think that so many of us present are blind?" Princess Lingyun said angrily, "She pushed me in, and I don't need her to save me." Princess Zhaoyang said with a gloomy face, "Do you mean that Princess Ding pushed you into the water, and then she jumped in to save you? As a result, you are safe and sound, but she hasn't come up yet? Princess better pray that Princess Ding is okay, otherwise, I'm afraid you are plotting against Princess Xiling, and I, the Great Chu, will not let it go!"

"Princess... we found the princess..." Qingyu, who was waiting anxiously on the shore, shouted. Qingshuang and Qingluan in the lake helped the obviously unconscious Ye Li to the surface of the water. The people on the shore quickly helped to pull her up and put dry clothes on Ye Li. Qingyu held her hand and felt her pulse. Princess Zhaoyang looked at Ye Li anxiously and asked, "What's wrong? Why hasn't the doctor come yet?" Qingyu looked up and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. The princess fainted after drinking a few sips of water. It shouldn't be a big deal. But... the princess needs a place to rest now." Princess Zhaoyang looked around and said decisively, "This is the closest to the Chaoxia Palace. Send Princess Ding there." Everyone surrounded the unconscious Ye Li and led them to the Chaoxia Palace. Princess Lingyun, who also fell into the water but was safe, was naturally ignored by everyone. Looking at the people who hurried away, Princess Lingyun's face turned pale and blue.

"Princess..." the palace maid from Xiling Kingdom who was following her called out cautiously.

"Get out!" Princess Ling Yun said angrily.

The atmosphere in Chaoxia Palace was solemn. In the inner hall, Mo Xiuyao sat beside the bed with a serious expression, staring at the sleeping woman on the bed. The imperial physician stepped forward cautiously to take her pulse. The princess sat aside and frowned and asked, "How is Princess Ding?" The doctor thought for a moment, glanced at Mo Xiuyao and said, "Your Highness, Princess, the princess is fine. It's just... she was probably frightened. I'll prescribe some tranquilizers and cold-relieving medicines later." The princess said, "Since she's fine, why hasn't the princess woken up yet?" The doctor said, "This... the princess is a woman after all. I'm afraid she swallowed water in a hurry and passed out. But swallowing water is not serious. She will wake up after a short rest." The princess couldn't help but recall the sudden push from Princess Lingyun when Ye Li was carrying her to the surface of the water. Her face became even heavier, and she nodded and said, "Go down and boil the medicine."

"I'll take my leave."

Princess Zhaoyang and Mo Xiuyao were the only ones left in the room. Princess Zhaoyang stood up and said, "Xiuyao, you take good care of the princess. I will seek justice for Princess Lingyun." Mo Xiuyao nodded calmly, "Thank you, aunt. But let's wait until A'li wakes up before making a decision." Princess Zhaoyang sighed and nodded, "It's up to you. You stay with your princess. I'll be out first." After watching the eldest princess leave, Mo Xiuyao slid his wheelchair forward and stared at her. The woman who had been sleeping on the bed for a while asked slowly, "A Li, are you planning to sleep through the palace banquet tonight?" Ye Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, "How did you tell?" Mo Xiu Yao shook his head and said lightly, "Feeling. Even the imperial physician could hide it, so how could I tell?" Recalling the expression of the imperial physician who was both surprised and puzzled, and finally could only insist that the child was unconscious due to shock, a faint smile appeared in Mo Xiu Yao's eyes.

"Ali, I never knew you liked saving people from danger so much?" Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li and said calmly.

Ye Li said helplessly: "I have no choice. If I don't save her, it will probably be like I pushed her into the water."

Mo Xiuyao's eyes flickered, "Just now outside, Princess Lingyun insisted that you were the one who pushed her into the water."

"Outside... she is really stubborn. She can still make trouble after such a hard time?" Ye Li exclaimed. She really made trouble for Princess Ling Yun underwater, but she didn't expect that she didn't want to see the imperial physician and still made trouble. Thinking of the culprit of her experience, Ye Li narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, staring at the half of Mo Xiu Yao's handsome face exposed outside and said: "Speaking of it, Prince... today's incident was also caused by you. Do you have anything to say?"

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and looked at her questioningly. Ye Li snorted and said, "That Princess Lingyun is obsessed with the prince, and she vowed that she would become the principal wife of the Dingguo Palace."

"Princess Lingyun of Xiling?" Mo Xiuyao frowned. Ye Li stared at him dangerously, "You don't really have an agreement with this princess for many years to come, do you?" A seven or eight-year-old girl was so abducted and deceived. Such a bastard... should be beaten to death!

Mo Xiuyao shook his head, looked at Ye Li and said seriously: "I can be sure that Princess Lingyun and I have never met."

"How could she cry and make a fuss about marrying you when we've never met, and even jumped into the lake by herself? Could it be... because of the status of Dingguo Palace?" Ye Li was puzzled. She didn't suspect that Mo Xiuyao would lie to her about this issue. In fact, Mo Xiuyao knew Princess Lingyun.

The probability of marriage is not high. "In theory... marrying into the Dingguo Palace does not seem to be in the interests of a Xiling princess. If Xiling wants to marry, the best choice is to marry Princess Lingyun to the emperor."

Mo Xiuyao glanced at her, seeming a little surprised, "How do you know Xiling wants to marry?"

"Why else would you bring a princess all the way here? To visit?"

Mo Xiuyao said: "Xi Ling and our Great Chu have always been at odds. Even though things have been relatively peaceful in the past few years, everyone knows that they will fight sooner or later. Generally speaking, Xi Ling would never allow a princess to marry in Great Chu."

It's like a hostage. Once the two countries go to war, no matter you are a princess or a county lady, you can only be a pathetic sacrifice. Ye Li frowned. That's true. In this situation, both sides know it. Even if the Emperor of Xiling has too many daughters, there is no need to send them to his own.

The enemy.

Mo Xiuyao looked at her leaning against the bed with her brows furrowed in thought, his eyes slightly warmed, "Don't think too much, we'll know at the palace banquet tonight whether you want to marry or not."

When Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao came out, the people who were whispering in the palace fell silent. Apparently, the incident in the Yu Garden had alarmed many people. Not only the Queen, but even the Emperor came.

Envoys from various countries. Seeing the two people coming out, Mo Jingqi's eyes fell on Ye Li first, and after a moment he asked: "Prince Ding, how is Princess Ding?" Mo Xiuyao said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Ah Li is fine." The Queen nodded thankfully and said:

I'm glad Princess Ding is alright. Please take a seat, Princess Ding."

The two thanked the Queen, and Ye Li followed suit and sat down. Across from them, Lei Tengfeng, the prince of Xiling Zhennan, stood up and said loudly, "Princess Ding, Ling Yun was just frightened and accidentally frightened you. Please forgive me." Before he finished speaking, Princess Ling Yun beside him had

She stood up in pain and cried, "Brother, I told you it was she who pushed me into the water!" Princess Zhaoyang frowned and looked at Princess Lingyun and said, "Princess, everyone present saw that it was Princess Ding who wanted to save you, but it was you who pushed the already exhausted Princess Ding into the water.

It caused Princess Ding to fall into a coma." Princess Lingyun blushed and said, "I have witnesses."

Princess Zhaoyang frowned and said calmly, "I know that the princess just said that your maid saw Princess Ding push you into the water. But... considering your behavior towards Princess Ding in Fengde Palace and your situation in the water, I'm afraid it's hard for people to believe your maid's words.

"Princess Lingyun screamed, "Are you saying that I am lying!" Princess Zhaoyang glanced at her indifferently. Although she did not answer, her expression was enough to explain it all.

"Lingyun, stop making trouble!" Lei Tengfeng scolded in a deep voice.

Princess Lingyun cried out in anger and said bitterly: "Okay! If you don't believe me, I will die as proof!" Then she pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and was about to stab herself in the heart.

"Princess, you can't——!"

"Ling Yun——!"

Lei Tengfeng quickly grabbed Princess Lingyun's arm and snatched the hairpin away. He looked at this willful cousin with a headache, and at the same time looked at Ye Li across from him with some suspicion. Although this cousin always loves to make trouble, such a strong reaction

But it hasn't happened yet. Is it true that she was wronged?

"Princess Ding, could you please tell me what happened at that time?" Lei Tengfeng asked, staring into Ye Li's eyes.

Ye Li looked at him calmly and said softly, "I don't know what happened. Princess Ling Yun was talking to me when she suddenly fell into the lake. Then I fell in with her."

Lei Tengfeng's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he stared at Ye Li with some vigilance and asked, "You fell down too? Then do you know how you fell down?"

Ye Li shook her head. "Princess Ling Yun suddenly fell down. I was so scared that I fell into the lake before I could come to my senses."

"Princess Ding seems to be able to swim." Lei Tengfeng said.

Ye Li smiled and said, "Not really, I just learned a little bit because I drowned when I was a kid. But I have no experience, so..."

Ye Li seemed to have said nothing, but everyone present heard that she had said everything. They even had a smooth outline of the whole incident in their minds. Everyone saw with their own eyes that it was Princess Lingyun who forced Princess Ding to talk to her, so they must have been talking about something.

Princess Lingyun was so excited that she fell into the lake and took Princess Ding with her. If it was just that, it would be fine as an accident, but Princess Ding saved Princess Lingyun. Princess Lingyun turned her kindness into hatred and killed Princess Ding.

He retreated to the bottom of the water and caused Princess Ding to fall unconscious. He also claimed that the victim had pushed him into the water while she was unconscious. Suddenly, the eyes of the people in the hall changed, whether they looked at Princess Lingyun or the Xiling envoy. The powerful people of Da Chu had no good feelings towards the Xiling people, and now they were even more

I am not happy anymore. What kind of character do the people of Xiling have?

"In fact, Princess Lingyun doesn't have to be so desperate. This is the palace of Great Chu after all. If Princess Xiling gets into any accident, it will hurt the friendship between Xiling and Great Chu. Although I am a woman, I will definitely not do something that would damage the peace between the two countries.

"Ye Li looked at Princess Ling Yun and said calmly, "I am a little confused. Princess Ling Yun and I came from Yu Garden. We left our maids behind. Logically, that position...whether the princess fell down by herself or

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, could you please summon my maid and Princess Lingyun's maid to come in?"

The emperor glanced at Mo Jingqi, and seeing that he had no objection, he nodded and said, "Just as the princess says."

Qingluan and the others came in soon, along with the maids Princess Lingyun brought from Xiling. Princess Zhaoyang asked, "How many of you followed the princess and the king?"

Qingyu stepped forward and said, "Princess, at that time Princess Lingyun said she wanted to talk to our princess alone, and she was the first to dismiss her maids, so the princess also ordered us not to follow." Princess Zhaoyang raised her eyebrows and continued to ask, "So, did you see

What happened by the lake at that time?" Qingyu shook her head and said, "There is a rockery between the lake and the Yu Garden. We were far away and were blocked by the rockery and did not see what happened at that time." Princess Lingyun's maid stepped forward and said, "We saw

It was Princess Ding who pushed our princess down."

Princess Zhaoyang said, "I know the rockery by the lake. I once played there when I was young. If you were standing behind the rockery, you would never have seen what happened by the lake."

"We were not behind the rockery at that time!" the maid blurted out.

Princess Zhaoyang raised her eyebrows, looked at Princess Lingyun with a half-smile, and asked, "Oh... where were you at the time?"

"We...we are by the peach forest beside the lake." The maid seemed to think that she had said something wrong. She glanced at Xiling in panic and answered reluctantly.

Princess Zhaoyang nodded, "If it was there, it would be possible to see it. But I want to know, why did you, who were supposed to be waiting behind, go around almost half of the Yu Garden and appear next to the peach forest? I remember that there was a small river between the peach forest and the rockery by the lake. And the bridge seemed to be a bit far away." "This..." In front of so many people, including the emperor and empress of Da Chu, the maid dared not to answer the princess even if she had the courage of the sky, and could only say: "Yes...Princess asked me to go there...go there..."

Princess Zhaoyang laughed and said, "Why go there? If it was to pick some peach blossoms in March, that would be fine, but now it's almost June, most people wouldn't go there."

"Your servant... Your servant..." The maid was panicking and wanted to ask Princess Lingyun for help, but Princess Lingyun herself couldn't think of any reason to justify herself at this point, so she just insisted: "No matter how my maid got there, at least it can be proved that they did see me being pushed into the lake by her."

The eldest princess was born in the deep palace and was not so easy to fool. She stared at the maid with her eyes fixed and said, "Since you said that it was Princess Ding who pushed Princess Lingyun. Then how did Princess Ding push her? Was Princess Lingyun facing Princess Ding or had her back to her or was she facing sideways? Did Princess Ding push her with her left hand or her right hand? Did Princess Lingyun scream after being pushed into the water by Princess Ding? If so, what did she scream?" The maid's face froze, and after a while she said, "I remember... the princess had her back to Princess Ding, and Princess Ding... Princess Ding pushed the princess with her left and right hands. After being pushed in, the princess was still struggling and screaming for help."

Lei Tengfeng on the side frowned and cursed the guy as an idiot in his heart.

Princess Zhaoyang's expression changed, and she said in a stern voice, "How dare you lie in front of the Emperor and Empress! The guards who were patrolling the lake at that time said that they didn't hear any cries for help, and they only rushed over when they heard your cries. They saw ripples on the water and knew someone had fallen into the water. Why did you hear Princess Lingyun's cry for help? Or are you a martial arts expert and your ears and eyes are more sensitive than the palace guards?"

"I...I..." The maid tried to make up such a long string of answers, but she was already exhausted. She fell to the ground immediately after being scolded by the princess. "Princess, please spare my life, please spare my life, I am..."

"Shut up!" Lei Tengfeng suddenly said, "You clearly didn't hear Ling Yun calling for help. When the princess asks you, just answer what you know honestly. Don't exaggerate and say something that doesn't exist." The maid was stunned and nodded hurriedly, "Yes... yes... I know I was wrong. I didn't hear the princess calling for help..."

Lei Tengfeng turned around, clasped his fists and said to Ye Li with a smile, "Princess, please forgive me. This girl has been with Ling Yun since she was a child and has never seen any big scenes. She must have seen it wrongly because she was nervous. Ling Yun has always trusted this girl. Today, she was frightened and misled by her... I hope the princess will forgive her." Ye Li looked at Ling Yun's expression of refusing to admit her mistakes, and smiled slightly coldly, "Your Highness, you are too serious. It was not a big deal. It's just... This princess made such a mistake when she attended the palace banquet for the first time, which really brought shame to the Dingguo Palace. Maybe... Princess Ling Yun is right. Princess, don't you think so?"

Princess Ling Yun snorted and turned her head away from Ye Li.

Princess Ronghua, who was sitting next to Princess Zhaoyang, suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, and asked, "What did Princess Lingyun say that Princess Ding agreed with?"

Ye Li sighed and said, "I am so rude and have brought shame to Prince Ding's Mansion and Prince Ding. Maybe Prince Ding will give me a divorce letter tomorrow, and Prince Ding will probably have to find someone else."

The Queen gently scolded, "Nonsense, this is just an accident, how could Prince Ding be so unkind?"

Mo Xiuyao, who had been sitting and watching the show, nodded politely and said, "The Queen is right." He tilted his head to Ye Li and smiled, "Don't worry, Ah Li, no matter what happens, you are the legitimate concubine of my Dingguo Palace. Anyone who dares to question Ah Li is questioning my Dingguo Palace!" Princess Zhaoyang also smiled and said, "Xiuyao is right. Anyone who dares to question Princess Ding is making things difficult for me. Princess Ding, just rest assured. Everyone knows that you have been wronged today."

"My Lord, Princess, my sister was ignorant and misunderstood you. I apologize on her behalf. Please forgive me, Princess."

Ye Li lowered her eyes and said nothing, looking respectful as if the prince was the one making the decision.

Mo Xiuyao said calmly, "Prince, it would be more sincere if the person involved apologized in person. Don't you think so?" Lei Tengfeng was stunned. Mo Xiuyao's request for Ling Yun to apologize in person was just a slap in Ling Yun's face. He was unwilling to show any mercy. Looking at Ye Li thoughtfully, Lei Tengfeng said, "Ling Yun is still young. It is because I, as a brother, failed to teach him well. I should apologize in person." Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his lips slightly. "Perhaps the prince should teach the princess what it means to be responsible for one's own actions and how to be responsible for one's own actions. What happened today... can I regard it as a provocation by Xiling to my Dingguo Palace?" Princess Ling Yun's eyes had already turned red with grievance when she was scolded in front of her long-admired lover.

Lei Tengfeng's heart skipped a beat. If he had known that Mo Xiuyao's attitude would be so tough, he would have forced Princess Ling Yun to apologize from the beginning. It's better to lose face than to die! Ling Yun must stay in Dongchu. If she offends Mo Xiuyao, he can still protect her when she is in Dongchu. If he leaves, she might not even know how she died. Lei Tengfeng believes that Ling Yun wanted to target Princess Ding today, but he doesn't believe that Princess Ding is so innocent. What's even more terrible is that Mo Xiuyao directly raised this matter to the level of Xiling Kingdom's attitude towards Dingguo Palace. Although Mo Xiuyao is now disabled, the power of Dingguo Palace that makes the Black Cloud Cavalry that makes the world tremble is still there. It would be fine if Mo Xiuyao showed some weakness, but Mo Xiuyao's tough attitude made him even more apprehensive. Xiling Country does not need war at the moment.

"Ling Yun! Apologize to Princess Ding!" Almost immediately, Lei Tengfeng decisively said to Princess Ling Yun.

"What? You want me to apologize to her!" Princess Lingyun screamed, and everyone present couldn't help but frown. Even Princess Ronghua curled her lips in disdain. Even though she was known as the most arrogant princess in the capital, she would never be so disdainful in such an occasion. The upbringing of the Princess of Xiling Kingdom is really impressive.

Princess Lingyun glared at Ye Li angrily and said, "Why should I apologize to her? I am the most honorable princess in Xiling. Can she bear my apology?"

Ye Li frowned, "Princess, you are refusing to apologize because you look down on me?"

"Is there anything about you that I admire?" Princess Lingyun raised her chin proudly and looked at Ye Li with a squint. She had already found out everything about Ye Li these days. She was a young lady from the Shangshu Mansion who had been neglected for many years. She was also a famous "three-no" daughter in the capital, with no talent, no virtue, and no appearance. Even Prince Li could not stand her reputation and abandoned her. She was just lucky to be assigned to Prince Ding by the Emperor. As for the champion of the Hundred Flowers Festival, it was not worth paying any attention to in Princess Lingyun's eyes. Ye Li was just lucky.

A cold light flashed across Ye Li's eyes, and she kept comforting herself in her heart: She is still young, there is no need to argue with her... Damn her, she is still young! This girl just needs to be taught a lesson. If she was still in the army, such an ignorant guy would have skinned her alive long ago. "So... Princess, do you look down on me or the identity of the Princess of Dingguo Palace?" Ye Li asked.

"You are not worthy of the status of Princess Ding!" Princess Lingyun shouted. Ye Li pursed her lips and looked at Princess Lingyun with a smile. Everyone present praised her for her good temper and good manners. "Then who do you think is worthy of the status of Princess Ding?" If you dare to say that to me... I will be convinced by you.

Princess Lingyun choked and glanced at Mo Xiuyao quickly. It was a pity that Mo Xiuyao just looked at the princess beside him with a faint smile, and did not notice Princess Lingyun's resentful look at all. Even if Princess Lingyun could declare her ambition for the position of Princess Ding in front of Ye Li, she still did not have the face to say in front of so many people that only she was worthy of Prince Ding. Ye Li was amazed at her resentful look. This girl had never met Mo Xiuyao before, but she could show such... deep affection on their first meeting... If it was Mo Xiuyao eight years ago, it could be said that it was love at first sight, but the current Mo Xiuyao really lacked the conditions to make people fall in love at first sight. Can hero worship really make a girl so obsessed? Even so, she should worship the heroes of her own country, right?

Or is this princess a person without borders?

"If it was before, it would be fine if the princess looked down on me. But now... I can't let the ancestors of the Dingguo Palace be ashamed because of me." Ye Li stared at Princess Lingyun and said. Princess Lingyun said arrogantly: "I will never apologize to someone who is not as good as me!" Ye Li raised her eyebrows, "The princess invited me to a sword fight before, but I declined. Why don't we have another fight now? If I lose today... I will regard it as me refusing the princess and letting the princess deal with it. If the princess loses..."

"Impossible!" Princess Lingyun said, "I will never lose to you!"

Ye Li ignored her and continued, "I want the princess to kneel down and apologize in front of all the civil and military officials and ladies at the palace banquet."

"You! Okay, I agree." Before Lei Tengfeng could stop her, Ling Yun had already said loudly: "If you lose, I want you to kowtow three times and nine times and walk from the palace gate to the most lively place in the capital, and then admit to everyone that you are not worthy of being the princess!"

Ye Li nodded calmly, "It's a deal."

"Wait a minute!" Princess Zhaoyang stood up and said, "I remember that Princess Ding doesn't know swordsmanship at all."

Ye Li smiled and said, "Princess, that's right, so we won't compete with swords, but with archery. I believe Princess Lingyun will be able to do it, right?"

"Ha! You want to compete with me in archery?!" Princess Lingyun seemed to have heard some jokes. She looked at Ye Li with contempt and laughed out loud, "I learned archery at the age of seven, and could shoot every arrow at the age of ten. Can you... draw a bow?"

Ye Li lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "Princess, do you mean to stop competing?"

"I am afraid that you will lose too badly. Since you are so overestimating yourself, I will help you. Tell me, how do we compete?"

Ye Li smiled with satisfaction, stood up and said to Mo Jingqi and the Queen: "In this case, I'll trouble the Emperor and the Queen to be witnesses." Mo Jingqi looked at her and asked: "Princess Ding, have you made up your mind? You must think it over carefully." Ye Li smiled and said: "Please grant me your blessing. The dignity of the Dingguo Palace cannot be trampled upon."

Mo Jingqi's expression changed, and he stared at Ye Li for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "Okay, I agree."

Ye Li bowed respectfully, "Ye Li thanks the emperor for his help." Then she turned around and looked at Princess Ling Yun and said with a smile, "Princess, please."

"Hmph!" Princess Ling Yun turned around and walked out of the palace. Ye Li smiled calmly and gently, and walked up further.

Lei Tengfeng, who was following behind, looked at the straight and determined back of the woman in front of him, and somehow he had a bad feeling in his heart.
