47. The Emperor, Empress Dowager, and the Noble Consort
Mo Xiuyao's guess was indeed accurate. Barely two days after the betrothal gifts were sent, a palace messenger arrived with Ye Zhaoyi's decree, saying she missed Third Miss and requesting her presence in the palace for a visit. Ye Li knew perfectly well who truly wanted to see her. Although her relationship with Ye Yue had not deteriorated to the point where everyone was aware of it, it definitely wasn't better than her relationship with Ye Ying. Unfortunately, although Ye Yue was just a Zhaoyi, Ye Li, who had yet to officially become Princess Consort Ding, didn't have the right to refuse her. So, she had no choice but to accept the decree, return to her courtyard, change into suitable attire, and then, accompanied by Qingluan and Qingyu, follow the eunuch who had delivered the message to the palace.
