Imperial Capital Chapter 62: Encounter with the Prince of Zhennan

Although Old Madam Ye and Minister Ye still had gloomy faces, Ye Li still saw a hint of joy in their eyes. It seemed that Mo Jingli personally came to pick up Ye Ying, which made them very satisfied. After all, their daughter was already married, so no matter how angry the Ye family was, they could not

Maybe it was really as Ye Li said that Ye Ying would move back to the Ye Mansion and be supported by the Ye family for the rest of her life.

Not long after, Mo Jingli walked in with the same cold and gloomy expression as always. In fact, Ye Li could hardly remember ever seeing Mo Jingli in a good mood. He always looked as if someone owed him a few hundred taels and would not pay him back.

Li paused for a moment before turning his gaze to Ye Ying. Ye Ying bit her lips in grievance, snorted softly, and turned her head away to ignore him. Ye Shangshu and Old Madam Ye also looked indifferent, completely lacking their usual attentiveness and consideration. Wang Shi was even more gloomy. If it weren't for Old Madam Ye secretly

He glanced at her and was about to question her directly.

Seeing this, Mo Jingli's eyes darkened, and it was obvious that he was not in a very good mood.

In fact, Mo Jingli felt more wronged than Ye Ying about this marriage. It wasn't that he wanted to marry that Princess Lingyun, so why did Ye Li's subordinates marry him home? The emperor didn't want that woman himself, but he gave her to him without even asking.

. After returning home, Ye Ying kept quarreling with him. Princess Lingyun, that ungrateful woman, actually dared to make a scene in the embassy and refused to get married. Who did she think he was? Did she think he would marry her? Being annoyed by Ye Ying and Princess Lingyun, Mo Jingli went straight to the palace.

He went to tell his brother the Emperor that he wanted to cancel the engagement and not marry Princess Lingyun, but he was scolded and driven out by his brother. Then he was scolded by his mother and mother. The more he thought about it, the uglier Mo Jingli's face became. Minister Ye saw that something was wrong and stopped, coughing lightly and said, "Ying'er,

The prince is here to take you back. Sit down and talk to the prince."

Ye Ying turned around with red eyes and looked at Mo Jingli pitifully, "Prince..."

Ye Li couldn't help but shudder at the resentful voice. She watched Mo Jingli walk over and hold Ye Ying in his arms, and whispered, "Let's go, follow me back to the palace."

"Prince... Ying'er is so sad... Wuwu..." Ye Ying sobbed and fell into Mo Jingli's arms and started crying. Mo Jingli held Ye Ying's waist and listened silently to Ye Ying's grievances. Although he didn't say anything, his complexion had obviously improved a lot.

"Let's go back." Mo Jingli picked up Ye Ying and nodded to the Minister Ye and Madam Ye. He turned around and walked out, ignoring Ye Li. Ye Li was left with doubts in her mind. In fact, she still didn't understand whether he really cared about Ye Ying and how much he cared about her.

Care? Maybe… it’s not that easy to guess what a paralyzed person is thinking, even if Mo Jingli is a slightly deformed paralyzed person. Ye Li thought silently while leaning on the chair with her chin propped up.

After politely declining the requests from Old Lady Ye and Minister Ye to stay, Ye Li led her people out of the Minister's Mansion. Seeing that it was still early, Ye Li remembered that she had never been out alone since she married into the Dingguo Palace. It just so happened that Nanny Sun had hinted that Mo Xiuyao's birthday would be in a few days, so Ye Li decided to go and see if there was any suitable gift. Having made up her mind, she took Qingluan and Qingshuang to the busiest street market in the capital.

Walking on the busy streets and visiting several stores without finding anything suitable, Ye Li couldn't help but feel distressed. She didn't know what kind of gift would be appropriate. Qingshuang looked at Ye Li's obviously distressed expression and asked boldly, "Princess, do you want to buy something?" Ye Li looked at the two girls with sparkling eyes of curiosity with some embarrassment, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Madame Sun said that it will be Mo Xiuyao's birthday in a few days, and I want to find a gift for him." Qingshuang rolled her eyes at her, "Miss! Do you have to run around the streets to find a gift for the prince?"

Ye Li was at a loss, "You mean to give him something ready-made? Wouldn't that seem insincere?" Besides, she had a lot of treasures in her room, but apart from the calligraphy and paintings, most of them were jewelry and other things from her daughter's family. Did she really have to pick a calligraphy and painting to give him?

Qingluan pursed her lips and smiled secretly, blinking her eyes and whispering: "The prince doesn't lack any treasures. If the princess wants to show her sincerity, she might as well make a gift herself. Even a purse is probably more valuable than an antique in the eyes of the prince."

"Purse?"

Qing Shuang waved her hand, "How about a purse? How about the princess making a piece of clothing for the prince?"

Making clothes... Ye Li looked down at her hands. She seemed to have never touched a needle and thread since she married into the Dingguo Palace. But... this seemed to be a good idea.

"Princess Ding?"

Having made up her mind, Ye Li was about to turn around and go back to the palace, but was stopped by a voice coming from behind. Ye Li turned around and saw the cousins ​​standing in the crowd, and wanted to say that enemies often meet on a narrow road.

"Prince, Princess." Ye Li nodded indifferently, but Lei Tengfeng seemed not to notice Ye Li's indifferent and distant expression. He walked up and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Princess Ding is shopping alone?" Ye Li smiled, "Qingluan Qingshuang, I have met the prince and the princess." Is the prince of Zhennan blind? Can't he see that there are two living people standing next to her?

Lei Tengfeng's eyes twitched and he smiled, "I will be leaving for Xiling in a few days, so I want to buy some things for Lingyun. I wonder...Princess, can you help me with some details?"

Ye Li looked at the brother and sister, one enthusiastic and the other indifferent, with a fake smile and said, "I'm afraid I can't help much."

"How could that be? The princess is both civil and military, and she is the winner of this year's Hundred Flowers Prize. She must have a good vision." Lei Tengfeng said with a smile.

Having said that, Ye Li couldn't refuse anymore, so she could only say, "In that case, Prince and Princess, please come in."

Princess Lingyun glanced at Ye Li, her face was haggard and she seemed a little unhappy. It seemed that she had not had an easy life since the arranged marriage. I just don't know what method Lei Tengfeng used to make Princess Lingyun, who was so temperamental, actually listen to him obediently. The three of them walked on the street with their entourage. Princess Lingyun looked completely absent-minded. She even needed the help of the maid beside her to avoid bumping into the people coming and going. Ye Li watched the arrogant little girl become like a dried bean sprout in just a few days. While Princess Lingyun was ordered by Lei Tengfeng to try on clothes, Ye Li asked, "Princess Lingyun doesn't look well."

Lei Tengfeng raised his eyebrows, looked at Ye Li with interest and asked, "Princess, are you sympathizing with Ling Yun?"

Ye Li glanced at him and said, "Even the prince and her cousin don't sympathize with her. How can it be my turn as an outsider to meddle in her affairs?"

Lei Tengfeng smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing. The kid was just throwing a tantrum and going on a hunger strike."

Is the child throwing a tantrum and going on a hunger strike?

Ye Li nodded, "I hope the princess won't fall down at the wedding."

Lei Tengfeng was full of confidence or didn't care at all, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Princess, we in Xiling will never let such a rude thing happen. Ling Yun will be radiant as a bride on the wedding day." Ye Li turned her head to look at the decorations in the store. She didn't have any good feelings for people like Lei Tengfeng. She didn't believe that Lei Tengfeng didn't know what the outcome would be for Princess Ling Yun if she stayed in Da Chu and married Mo Jingli. He just didn't care. A person who can push his cousin to a dead end with a smile and say that I am doing this for your own good is actually more cold-blooded than Mo Jingli. Lei Tengfeng saw the alienation in Ye Li's expression, and looked at Ye Li with a smile on his lips and said: "Princess Ding seems to have any opinion of me?"

Ye Li glanced at him calmly and said, "No, I never have any opinion on strangers."

"Stranger?" Lei Tengfeng smiled meaningfully, "How can it be a stranger? Come to think of it... do the prince and princess like my wedding congratulations?"

Ye Li said: "The Suoyun Sword is of great significance to the Dingguo Palace, how could I not like it? Thank you, Prince, for taking the trouble."

"No, no..." Lei Tengfeng shook his head and smiled, "The Cloud Sword is a gift for the princess. I sent someone to deliver the congratulatory gifts from Prince Ding and Princess to Prince Ding's Palace the day after the wedding. Could it be that the princess didn't receive it?"

Ye Li was startled, frowning her beautiful eyebrows and staring at Lei Tengfeng coldly, saying, "Your Highness is very resourceful. How many people want such a famous painting, but your Highness can give it away easily." Lei Tengfeng smiled and said, "I am a rough man. Famous paintings can only be appreciated by scholars, right? It seems that... Prince Dingguo and the Princess are very satisfied." Ye Li stared at him and smiled faintly, "Your Highness is so attentive, how can the Prince and I not be satisfied. Speaking of which, Han Mingyue's beauty has long disappeared. It is Ye Li's fortune to see the appearance of the most beautiful woman in the capital in the past."

"Interesting." Lei Tengfeng praised, looking at Ye Li with a half-smile and said, "Princess, I don't believe that you don't know that the woman in the painting is Prince Ding's fiancée."

Ye Li looked at him, "So, the prince gave me that painting in order to make me miserable?"

"How dare I." Lei Tengfeng said with a smile, "Princess, you are both talented and beautiful. I admire you very much. How dare I have such a shameful thought? However...Princess, you should admit that sometimes...what you can't get is the best. Isn't it?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows and said, "There are many things that you can't get in this world. It's unacceptable for you to have such thoughts." Lei Tengfeng said with a smile, "Why not? I think that as long as you want something, you should grab it firmly by any means. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity if it was given to others?"

Ye Li lowered her eyes and drank tea calmly, "The princess will be out soon, right? Are you sure you want to chat with me here?"

Lei Tengfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "The princess is indeed a straightforward person, Tengfeng is not as good as her."

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at him in silence. Lei Tengfeng smiled and said, "It's actually nothing serious. Someone... wants to tell the princess a message. Besides, I also have something to ask the princess."

"I'm all ears."

"Someone asked me to tell the princess...other people's things are always other people's." Lei Tengfeng looked at Ye Li and smiled.

Ye Li remained calm, "I wonder what this sentence has to do with the gift from the prince?"

Lei Tengfeng shrugged and said, "I don't know. I am only responsible for delivering your message. Besides, does the princess not want to hear what I want to ask?"

"Please speak, my lord."

"I just said... I admire the princess very much. I wonder... is the princess interested in visiting Xiling?"

Ye Li's eyes darkened. Was she being teased? Or did Lei Tengfeng think that eloping with Prince Ding's wife was a very fulfilling thing? After staring at Lei Tengfeng for a long time, Ye Li sighed and said, "Prince... I do intend to visit Xiling, but I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Lei Tengfeng's eyes were mysterious.

"I'm afraid that I will die at the hands of the prince before I even step into Xiling." Ye Li sneered and continued the conversation calmly. Lei Tengfeng's expression froze instantly, as if he hadn't figured out what expression to put on for a while, so he had to smile stiffly and said, "What are you saying, princess? I'm sincerely inviting you." Ye Li stood up and said with a smile, "In that case, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely go to Xiling with our prince to visit the prince. I won't disturb the prince and the princess today, goodbye."

Without paying attention to the expression on Lei Tengfeng's face, Ye Li stood up and walked out.

In the inner hall, Lei Tengfeng, who was left behind, stroked his chin thoughtfully as he looked at the beaded curtain at the door that was swaying slightly because someone was leaving. The smile on his face was a little more arrogant and ambitious than before, "Interesting woman, no wonder Mo Xiuyao married her."

In the inner hall, Lei Tengfeng, who was left behind, stroked his chin thoughtfully as he looked at the beaded curtain at the door that was swaying slightly because someone was leaving. The smile on his face was a little more arrogant and ambitious than before, "Interesting woman, no wonder Mo Xiuyao married her."

Princess Lingyun came out from inside, still wearing the same clothes she had when she went in. She stood by the door and looked at Lei Tengfeng with resentment. Lei Tengfeng raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes to hide the disdain in his eyes and said, "Lingyun, don't think about it. My brother is doing this for your own good. Compared to the obviously brainless Princess Li, this Princess Ding is simply too difficult to deal with. Even if you become Princess Ding, you will definitely not be able to beat her. Wasn't the loss you suffered that day enough? You know that even without Ye Li, you can't enter the Ding Palace."

Princess Ling Yun stared at him and asked, "Are you speaking for Ye Li?"

Lei Tengfeng sneered and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. If you think you have the guts to provoke Ye Li, go ahead. Let's see if she dares to shoot you in the head next time. I don't care what you want to do, just get on the sedan chair and marry into Prince Li's mansion in three days, and don't force me to drug you."

"I'm a princess, how dare you!"

"I thought you knew your usefulness when you clamored to come to Dongchu." Lei Tengfeng looked at her with mocking eyes, "You don't think you are here to Dongchu to choose a prince consort, and whoever you like is the one you choose?" No matter how favored a princess is, she is just a princess, a princess who was married to a foreign country... How dare she put on airs in front of him?

Xiling Embassy

After sending someone to send Princess Lingyun back to her room, Lei Tengfeng turned around and returned to his own room. As soon as he closed the door, Lei Tengfeng's eyes darkened and his gaze shot towards a certain place in the room like a knife. The completely closed room was very dark and mysterious because there was no light on. A slender black figure was sitting beside the fine sandalwood round table. Lei Tengfeng's eyes darkened, staring at the back of the woman in black and said, "What are you doing here?" The woman in black turned her face to the side, revealing a pair of moving starry eyes in the dim light. But the eyes that should have been as beautiful as water were filled with obvious anger, "Why do you want to ruin my business?"

Lei Tengfeng snorted and sneered, "Ruin your business? What did this prince ruin for you?"

"Ling Yun's matter!" The black-clothed woman gritted her teeth and said, "If you hadn't interfered, how could Ling Yun have married into Prince Li's mansion?"

Lei Tengfeng relaxed his body in a casual manner, walked to a chair and sat down, saying: "How dare you say that? If you hadn't been talking to Lingyun about all sorts of things all day long, how could Lingyun marry Prince Li?" Their original plan was not to marry a princess to a brainless prince, but it was a pity that the emperor refused to take her after Lingyun's disturbance. The woman in black snorted and said: "Wouldn't it be better if Lingyun married Prince Ding's mansion?"

"Don't dream, Ling Yun was fooled by you, could you kill yourself?" Lei Tengfeng said disdainfully: "Do you think Mo Xiuyao is a kind-hearted person? Ling Yun entered Dingwang Mansion and we had to collect her body within a month. Even if she was lucky enough to survive, do you think she wouldn't be deceived by Mo Xiuyao and turn against him with her brain?" The woman seemed to be irritated by Lei Tengfeng's mocking tone, and said angrily: "I did this to help you!" Lei Tengfeng sneered, and the expression on his face clearly showed disbelief, "Help me? If you want to help me, why don't you let Rouyun come? Didn't you know that Mo Xiuyao would never fall in love with Ling Yun's personality? What a pity... This prince thinks Mo Xiuyao is likely to fall in love with Ye Li."

"Impossible!" the woman yelled, but soon realized her mistake. The woman in black relaxed her breath and said with a calmer and more relaxed tone, "Don't try to fool me. How could Mo Xiuyao, who is so high-minded, fall for a useless woman like Ye Li?"

"Useless?" Lei Tengfeng pondered, and glanced at the woman in black casually before saying, "Is Mo Xiuyao arrogant? Not necessarily."

"That's enough. I'm not here to argue with you."

Lei Tengfeng looked at her lazily and said, "Then you can just tell me why you came to my room at this time."

"I want to stay in Da Chu for a while." said the woman in black.

"Okay, just don't go back to Xiling from now on." Lei Tengfeng waved his hand, indicating nonchalantly that she could go out.

"You!" The woman in black glared at him, unable to say a word for a long time. Lei Tengfeng sneered, "Do you think I don't know why you want to stay in Dongchu? It's rare to find a woman as greedy as you. But you'd better be careful, or you'll end up with nothing." The woman in black bit her lips angrily under the veil, "Lei Tengfeng, don't you feel unhappy if you don't mock me?" Lei Tengfeng snorted coldly, looking at the woman opposite with a cold look that hinted at hatred, "Can't you survive without hooking up with men everywhere? Don't be delusional, Mo Xiuyao won't want you."

"Do you know where the painting you asked someone to deliver is?" Lei Tengfeng looked at her, and suddenly a malicious smile appeared on his face.

The woman in black stared at him warily. Lei Tengfeng looked at her with interest. Seeing her eyes gradually become flustered under his gaze, he smiled and said, "She was sent to Su Zhe by Mo Xiuyao that day. No matter how beautiful Su Zuidi is, she is just a dead person to Mo Xiuyao. What do you think you can do? Should we take a gamble? I think Mo Xiuyao will definitely fall in love with Ye Li."

If possible, the anger in the eyes of the black-clothed woman almost wanted to burn Lei Tengfeng to ashes. This time, she took a longer time to calm down her anger. She smiled at Lei Tengfeng and said, "What about you? Prince Zhennan of Xiling Kingdom, why are you so interested in Ye Li?" Lei Tengfeng's eyes flashed, and he quickly smiled and said, "Because she is Mo Xiuyao's woman. From this aspect, her value is obviously much higher than yours." The black-clothed woman's eyes moved, and she smiled softly and said, "Then... don't you want to get Mo Xiuyao's woman? Haha... think about it, if everyone in the world knew that Mo Xiuyao's wife ran away with another man, it would be such an interesting thing."

Lei Tengfeng frowned, stared at the black-clothed woman with disgust and said, "Knowing Mo Xiuyao is probably the worst thing that has happened to him in his life. If I want to defeat Mo Xiuyao, I will defeat him openly and honestly, without using such methods."

"Haha, how could that be? Meeting me should be the happiest thing in his life. Of course, I think so too." The black-clothed woman whispered softly, with a hint of nostalgia in her charming eyes, "Also, Mo Xiuyao is useless. He will never go to the battlefield again in his life. On the other hand, he will never be defeated. You actually still fantasize about defeating him openly? The Dingguo Palace has been undefeated for hundreds of years..."

"That's enough, get out. We'll set off for Xiling in three days. You can try to stay in Dongchu. I heard that Han Mingyue has already returned to Jiangnan. You might as well see if Mo Xiuyao will show mercy to your men again." Lei Tengfeng said coldly with a gloomy face. The woman in black stood up and looked at him with aggrieved eyes, "I know why you treat me so badly. You are jealous, right? Or do you think I don't look good with a veil..." As she spoke, the woman raised her hand to take off the veil on her face. Lei Tengfeng suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it over, "Get out!"

"You... humph!" Being scolded so rudely by him, the woman in black put down her hand, glared at the man in the chair, and walked away.

Ye Li returned to Prince Ding's Mansion, where Mo Xiuyao was reading in the room. When she heard footsteps, she looked up and asked, "Are you back? Is there anything for Old Madam Ye?" Ye Li waved her hands and said in a bored tone, "What could happen at this time? My fourth sister went home crying, and my grandmother asked me to go back and persuade her. She has always been very rude, so how could she listen to me? But when I was on the street, I met the prince of Xiling Kingdom and Princess Lingyun." Mo Xiuyao looked at her and raised his eyebrows. Ye Li thought that there was nothing to talk about on this topic, so she turned around and went in to change into light clothes. When she came out, she saw Mo Xiuyao still sitting in the room with his head down reading, so she asked Qingxia and the others to bring out some light-colored materials.

Qingshuang was always smart. Not long after Ye Li gave the order and before she even sat down, she had already brought the materials with a smile. They were all light colors like moon white, light blue, beige, etc. She also thoughtfully brought various utensils. Ye Li took the materials and looked at the man opposite her, and her eyebrows wrinkled together.

Mo Xiuyao looked up at her tangled expression with some surprise, and smiled faintly: "What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the clothes made in the mansion? I heard that there are two embroidery workshops in the capital that make good things. Just ask them to send some over. There's no need to be so embarrassed." Ye Li was speechless. If I bought clothes from outside to give to you, wouldn't Nanny Lin and the wet nurse nag me to death? Look at the clothes on her body again. Is she that picky?

Gritting her teeth, Ye Li said, "Lend me one of your old clothes."

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows, looking at Ye Li with some doubts as she tried to keep a blank expression. Slowly, his eyes moved to the cloth on the table, and he smiled at Ye Li with a slight movement, saying, "Go get it yourself." Since he was sent to this courtyard to recuperate, Manager Mo ordered people to move all the clothes in his room here. However, his newlywed wife seemed to have a good habit of never touching other people's things, even if that other person was her husband. So although their things were put together, they were actually put separately, and no one touched anyone else's.

Ye Li snorted softly, stood up and walked into the room, but after a few steps she suddenly stopped. She turned around, picked up the tape measure in the sewing box and walked in.

Mo Xiuyao stared at the plain cloth on the table for a while, and suddenly smiled faintly. His eyes, which were originally a little cold, also showed some real warmth.

If you want to do something, you should either not do it or do it as soon as possible. So Ye Li's daily routine has added needlework to her daily routine. The two old maids were very pleased about this. Seeing their young lady wielding swords and knives all day long since she got married, the two maids were already very anxious. Although the prince did not say anything, it was not clear what it looked like for a princess to be with swords and knives all day long. Except for the third master, the Xu family has not produced a warrior for hundreds of years. The third master must have corrupted the young lady! The two maids who did not know the truth silently blamed Xu Qingfeng who was about to join the army.

It was the first time that the princess made clothes for the prince, which attracted the attention of everyone from the nanny to the maids. When she started, Ye Li realized something very depressing, that she didn't know how to make clothes for men. When her mother was still alive, she was not old enough to learn how to cut clothes. After her mother passed away, there was no one to teach her and she didn't need to learn how to cut clothes, so she actually forgot about it. In the end, she had no choice but to let Nanny Lin teach her how to cut clothes step by step.

After the clothes were cut, the maids gathered around Ye Li to discuss what pattern to use, what color embroidery thread to use, and what kind of purse to match. They kept arguing and making noises. Mo Xiuyao didn't know what was going on, and now he changed his reading place from the study to their room. Although it was outside, Ye Li, who was surrounded by the maids in the room, always felt that Mo Xiuyao could definitely hear what they were mumbling. She couldn't help but feel angry and annoyed, and wanted to slap these talkative maids.

"Princess..." Qingshuang shouted disapprovingly when she saw Ye Li picking up the cloud pattern and preparing to wire it. She looked like she wanted to come forward and destroy the pattern in her hand.

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Qing Shuang said, "Princess, you are giving this as a gift. How can you present such an ordinary gift?"

Ye Li's forehead was throbbing with blue veins. It was just a piece of clothing, how could this girl have too many opinions? Qingshuang ignored Ye Li's dissatisfied expression and quickly put a stack of patterns in front of Ye Li. There were various dragon patterns, eagle patterns, tiger patterns, as well as complex various flower patterns, auspicious patterns, etc. Qingshuang looked at Ye Li's gloomy face, and quickly took out one of them and whispered: "Qingshuang asked for the princess, the prince likes this one."

Staring at the image of the eagle soaring in the sky in front of her, she wanted to poke Qingshuang with a needle. Seeing that her young lady had a bad expression, Qingshuang quickly made a begging expression and ran out. Ye Li stared at the pattern on the table in a daze for a while, then suddenly sighed, took the embroidery basket on the side and started to match the wires. Qingxia was waiting on the side and said, "Qingshuang is really naughty, but she is also thinking about the princess. I hope the princess will not be angry with her." Ye Li looked up at her and said helplessly, "This girl is usually spoiled and makes trouble all day long." Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled secretly, "Qingshuang is indeed very energetic. Why don't the princess punish her to do embroidery work?"

Qingxia hid her lips and smiled secretly, saying: "Qingyu's punishment is too harsh, but if the princess can calm down, Qingshuang will be happy to accept the punishment." Qingshuang has a lively personality, and she is always the most impatient when it comes to sewing. Normally, asking her to embroider a handkerchief is like asking her to die. Ye Li's eyes turned, and a little more smile appeared on her face, saying: "Very good, tell Qingshuang to embroider a pair of cold plums for me to celebrate the New Year, and it must be finished within half a month. Otherwise... let her handle it herself."

Qingluan and the others blinked and smiled in response, secretly mourning for Qingshuang in their hearts. You knew that the princess was shy, but you still went to ask the prince. Aren't you asking the princess to punish you?

"What does Ah Li want to embroider?" Mo Xiuyao's clear voice came from outside, and everyone turned around and saluted, "Prince."

Mo Xiuyao glanced at the three girls who were smiling and said, "Go down."

The three of them bowed and left, leaving the space for the prince and princess.

Seeing Mo Xiuyao coming over, Ye Li looked at the things in her hand with some embarrassment and said, "Is the prince so idle? He walks around the room all day." Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Since he doesn't have to go to court and doesn't have anything to deal with, he is naturally idle. Ah Li has been very busy these two days." Ye Li rolled her eyes at him unhappily. Didn't he see what she was busy with? The wheelchair stopped beside Ye Li, and Mo Xiuyao smiled softly, "Ah Li, don't be embarrassed. Even if you don't embroider well, I won't laugh at you."

Very good! Ye Li poked a needle on the clothes in anger. How dare you say that her embroidery is not good? Even her second aunt praised her embroidery skills. Looking sideways at Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li put on a fake smile, "No, I dare not pollute the prince's eyes if my embroidery is not good. Let's ask the people in the needlework room to sit down, so that I don't have to worry about it."

Mo Xiuyao smiled helplessly, "What I mean is that no matter what Ah Lixiu looks like, she is the best in my eyes."

Ye Li snorted and ignored him, turned around and lowered her head to work. Mo Xiuyao sat quietly on the side, watching Ye Li's increasingly focused expression, with a warm smile on his lips.
