Chapter 47: Emperor, Empress Dowager, Noble Consort (3)

"This maiden, Ye Li, greets the Emperor. Greets the Empress Dowager." Entering the grand hall, she saw a tall man wearing a yellow robe. Ye Li saw a flash of surprise on his face and quickly, but respectfully prostrated herself.

"Dispense with the ceremony. Chang-er, why are you here?" Mo Jing Qi glanced at Ye Li but quickly transferred his gaze to Noble Consort Liu at the side. Moreover, he came over and pulled Noble Consort Liu in front of himself.

Noble Consort Liu lightly let out a breath and whispered: "What? Does the Emperor feel that this concubine can't come and greet the Empress Dowager?"

Mo Jing Qi sighed and said softly: "You know that We do not have this intention."

"Emperor!" A voice filled with dignity and harshness drifted from farther within the grand hall. Ye Li secretly took a look. When the Empress Dowager was still young, she must've been a beautiful woman seen only once in a generation. Although she was Dowager Imperial Concubine Xian Zhao's older sister, the Empress Dowager looked younger. With only that pair of Pheonix eyes, others can already feel the fierce oppressiveness that made others unable to speak. But Ye Li knew that when young those eyes must've been very beautiful. At this time, the Empress Dowager did not pay attention to Ye Li and instead had her fierce eyes trained on Noble Consort Liu. There was even a faint intention of murder. Obviously, the Empress Dowager did not like this Noble Consort Liu.

"Imperial Mother." Mo Jing Qi frowned and pulled Noble Consort Liu further into the grand hall. "Imperial Mother, Chang-er came to greet you and coincidentally met Ye family's Third Young Miss. That's probably why they came together."

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Greeting? It is troublesome for Noble Consort Liu to still remember and comes to greet Us."

"Imperial Mother, you know that since Chang-er gave birth to Jing-er her body has not been well." Mo Jing Qi's face is a bit ashamed, but he still firmly protected Noble Consort Liu at his side.

Ye Li took a look at this Empress Dowager and couldn't help but empathize with her. It was difficult to give birth to these two sons. Waiting for the Empress of the late Emperor to die, she became the new Empress. Using all of her efforts, she pushed her son onto the throne. Now that she was the Empress Dowager, she should be enjoying her days. Who would've thought that the younger son is brain damaged and the older son, as the Emperor, only needed her as the Empress and not as the Empress Dowager?

"Imperial Mother, did you not want to see the Ye family's Third Young Miss? Shall we see the person We picked for Xiu Yao?" Seeing the increasingly unpleasant expression on the Empress Dowager's face, Mo Jing Qi quickly added.

Ye Li's face blackened: Emperor, aren't you just trying to make more waves in the water for others?

The Empress Dowager immediately trained her gaze on Ye Li. In Ye Li's heart, she chose to believe the words of Noble Consort Liu. It is just that this gaze from the Empress Dowager was not something an ordinary person could endure.

After a long moment, "You are Ye Li?" The Empress Dowager asked.

Ye Li respectfully lowered her eyes and said: "To the Empress Dowager, this maiden is Ye Li."

The Empress Dowager frowned. "Raise your head so that We can see."

Ye Li raised her head obediently, allowing the Empress Dowager and Emperor their inspection.

"That year, We had seen your mother several times. Indeed, a granddaughter of the Xu family is someone that others cannot compare to, unable to even stand on the same stage. It's a pity..." What there was to pity, the Empress Dowager did not say. Naturally, no one had the courage to go up and ask.
