The Capital City's 43rd Wedding (Part 2)

  The Unluckiest Wedding in History (Part 2)

  "Yeli!"

  In the garden of Li Wang Fu, Hua Tian Xiang was walking and talking with Ye Li when a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

  "Your Highness, is there something I can help you with?" Huatian Xiang stepped forward, blocking Ye Li's path and asking with a raised, beautiful face. Ever since the incident at Chuxiang Pavilion, Huatian Xiang's impression of Mo Jing Lei had been declining rapidly, now almost reaching negative values. Seeing Mo Jing Lei appear before them with an unpleasant expression, she immediately thought he was looking for trouble with Ye Li. Mo Jing Lei frowned in displeasure, "I'm not here to see you." Huatian Xiang replied bluntly, "Your Highness shouldn't be socializing with guests right now? This garden is filled with ladies from various manors; Your Highness's presence would only cause inconvenience. Even if you don't care about your own reputation, at least consider others' feelings."

  "This king has something to say to Ye Li, you step aside." Mo Jingli said impatiently.

  "Just say it directly, Lier can hear." Huatian Xiang said.

  Mo Jingli's eyes narrowed dangerously, "I said move aside!"

  Huà Tiān Xiāng still wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Yè Lì, "Tiān Xiāng, you go take a look if Mù Róng and the others have arrived. I'll be right over."

  "But..." Huatian Xiang worriedly glanced at Mo Jing Lei. Ye Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiuyao will come find me after talking to Old Lady Hua." Upon hearing this, Huatian Xiang playfully winked at Ye Li with a hint of teasing, "Xiuyao... alright, I'll go find Murong. You be careful." After finishing her sentence, she also gave Mo Jing Lei a warning glance before waving goodbye to Ye Li and leaving. Watching Huatian Xiang's rare childish behavior, Ye Li couldn't help but feel amused and touched at the same time. Huatian Xiang was indeed a noble lady who knew how to behave properly; if not for her own sake, she would never have taken the initiative to provoke Mo Jing Lei. Looking at Huatian Xiang's departing figure, Mo Jing Lei's originally gloomy face seemed to darken even further.

  When Hua Tianxiang disappeared around the corner of the garden, Ye Li withdrew the smile from her face and turned to look at Mo Jingli, "What does Your Highness want to say?"

  "Ye Li, you're quite something!" Mo Jingli gritted his teeth and said.

  Ye Li looked up and down at Mo Jing Lei, still speaking warmly, "I don't understand what the prince is saying."

  "Hmph! Do you think I, the king, would let last night's matter slide just like that?" Mo Jing Lei coldly sneered at her.

  "I thought... it's not for you to say that, Your Highness." It was clearly him who had her tied up with ill intentions, but now he looked like she had done something wrong to him. What was wrong with this world? Ye Li couldn't help but feel puzzled.

  "Don't tell me you still want revenge against me?" Mo Jingli sneered disdainfully.

  No need for that, it's no big deal. This young lady usually takes revenge on the spot. "If Your Highness has nothing else to say, Ye Li bids farewell."

  "Halt!" Mo Jing Lei shouted, grabbing Ye Li and pulling her behind the fake mountain. Ye Li looked down at the hand grasping her wrist and also fell silent, "Your Highness King Lei, please restrain yourself!"

  "Self-respect?" Mo Jing Lei sneered coldly, "Who do you think you are? You're just a woman I don't want. Do you think climbing into bed with Mo Xiuyao is enough? Tell me... if someone were to come over and see us now, would you still have the face to marry Mo Xiuyao? Or perhaps even that waste of space Mo Xiuyao would be disgusted by you?"

  Ye Li's half-covered clear eyes flashed a hint of danger, "Prince Lei, please let me go."

  "This king won't let you go, what can you do?" Mo Jing Lei sneered, looking at the delicate woman in front of him as if he was sizing up a small bird trapped in a cage. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the seemingly weak and gentle woman inside was actually a fierce hunting hawk. Ye Li's lips curled up slightly, "What can I do? Like this!" Her free hand quickly and forcefully grabbed Mo Jing Lei's arm, and with just a slight exertion of force, it sent a piercing pain through him. Before he could even react, he had already been thrown to the ground with a swift side throw. What's more unfortunate was that since they were standing under the fake mountain, Mo Jing Lei's head hit the rock and he immediately fainted. Ye Li didn't expect things to turn out this way either, so she immediately stopped her attack and bent down to check on Mo Jing Lei's condition. Seeing that he wasn't seriously hurt, she stood up and kicked him a few times with her foot to vent her anger. Her previous profession made her more familiar with the human body structure than most people, so naturally, she knew exactly how to make someone feel pain without leaving any marks.

  Calmly extinguishing the flames of anger in her heart, Ye Li couldn't help but furrow her brow. Knocking out King Lei at the Lei Wang Fu wasn't exactly a good thing, especially on his wedding day. However, it also wasn't an inexplicable trouble. After glancing at the person lying unconscious on the ground, Ye Li calmly stepped over the obstacle and walked out with ease.

  Leaving the fake mountain, after two turns, Huatian Xiang and Murong Ting were seen waiting with worried faces. Seeing Ye Li coming over, they hurriedly welcomed her, "A Li, are you okay? Did King Lei do anything to you?" Murong Ting anxiously grabbed onto Ye Li.

  Ye Li smiled and said: "You see I'm fine, aren't I? What can he do to me in broad daylight?"

  Murong Ting smiled awkwardly and said: "I was wrong, but you'd better stay away from King Li."

  Hu Tianxiang nodded in agreement and asked curiously: "How did you finish so quickly?"

  "There was nothing to say in the first place."

  "Let's just forget about those dampening people and go sit down for a cup of tea instead. I really envy Xiang'er, Lord Qin never forces her to attend banquets she doesn't like."

  Ye Li nodded and walked with the two of them towards a more crowded area ahead.

  The wedding ceremony proceeded as scheduled, which made the marriage that had been slightly awkward due to missing the auspicious hour earlier finally able to be expected to have a perfect ending, if one could ignore the face of Duke Lei Wang that looked more like he was attending a funeral. Ye Li sat beside Hua Tian Xiang and saw Mo Xiuyao smiling at her from across the way, then his gaze turned to Mo Jingli who was walking alongside Ye Ying with a red ribbon tied around their wrists, and the smile in his eyes deepened. Almost immediately, Ye Li understood that Mo Xiuyao must have already known about what happened on Mo Jingli's body that afternoon. However, looking at Mo Xiuyao's gaze, Ye Li felt that things might not be over yet.

  At that moment, when the ceremony was halfway through, the host shouted for the couple to bow to each other. Then, with a thud, the groom fell to the ground and didn't get up. Ye Li didn't have even half a bit of surprise. Instead, she had a feeling of "it's expected". At this moment, Ye Li absolutely believed that Mo Jingli probably wouldn't want to hold another wedding ceremony in his lifetime. Anyone who faints three times within twelve hours before and after the wedding would develop some kind of shadow towards weddings.

  "How...how could this be?" Murong Ting was shocked and almost couldn't close her mouth.

  Hu Tianxiang was equally stunned, "This......" She didn't know what to say either. In fact, she began to feel a little sympathetic towards Ye Ying. Missing the auspicious time for the wedding procession was one thing, but the groom fainting during the ceremony...

  "Hmm... Ah Li, this Emperor's body is also too weak. Fortunately..."

  Everyone was stunned by the sudden change, and Xianzhao Taifei quickly reacted to have someone send the newlyweds back to their room while calling for a doctor. The groom had fainted, but the wedding feast still had to continue, although the guests were all somewhat tasteless. The noblewomen were guessing the real reason for Li Wang's fainting while thinking about the latest gossip that would appear in the capital tomorrow. Ye Lian was mentally deducing the consequences of making Mo Jingli faint in the afternoon and felt that there was no big problem, so she enjoyed the delicious food with Hua Tianxiang and Murong Ting. When a certain unremarkable man in a corner smiled and toasted her, she slightly nodded to return the courtesy. This wedding... is really interesting.

  Digression

  It should actually be changed to the most unfortunate groom. Except that the groom didn't bully anyone ~ okay. Ye Ying is considered indirectly unfortunate ~ I want to hurry up and let Ah Lian and Xiu Yao get married, otherwise many plot developments can't be written ~ Those with opinions on the plot development please leave a message, seeking opinions ~
