Ning Lingyun had fought with both Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan. One time was her fighting Ning Xueyan on her own and the other time was colluding with Ning Qingshan to frame Ning Xueyan. The last time was when she plotted against Ning Qingshan with Ning Xueyan's help.
She lost the first time. Despite getting her marriage with Ao Xian approved, she lost the second time and therefore lost the marriage. The third time, she worked with Ning Xueyan and ended up getting her marriage with the Third Prince approved...
"Fourth Young Lady, the Fifth Young Lady is here." A maid's voice came from outside.
"Hurry up and invite her in." Ning Lingyun composed herself before tidying her clothes with Caiyun's help and rushing out.
Ning Xueyan strode in through the gate of the courtyard. Most people at the manor had already received news that the Fifth Young Lady had become Princess Yi and nobody dared to slight her. Everyone bent over backwards to
Ao Chenyi would only come after lunch and everyone in the Lord Protector's Manor had no choice but to wait for the arrival of such an important figure. Thus, it wasn't until he arrived at the outer courtyard and dined with Ning Zu'an and Ning Huaijing that lunch for the women was finally served in Madam Dowager's Lucky Garden.Ning Xueyan didn't leave immediately after lunch. On the contrary, news came that Prince Yi was leaving.This was normal. The fact that Prince Yi was able to come was enough to excite everyone in the Lord Protector's Manor. They had lost the Emperor's favor following the string of events caused by Madam Ling and her daughters. Even a once-great general like Ning Zu'an was merely given an insignificant role at the Ministry of War and couldn't even meet the Emperor.The Lord Protector's Manor had truly fallen out of favor. Everyone knew this, but fortunately for them, they still had Princess Yi. At this moment, Madam Dowage
Ao Xian.Ao Xian, the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li, was the one who was trapped by Ning Lingyun previously, took fancy to her, and firmly asked to get himself and her betrothed.When he broke off the engagement later, it all seemed that he treated Ning Lingyun unjustly.Although he had now broken off the engagement, he still had a good opinion of her because he had been thinking that she was a good young lady, but Ning Qingshan was the one he hated so much…Ning Lingyun looked at the slip of paper in her hand for a long time and then went to the courtyard of Concubine Xu. The two women closed the door and talked for a while. After that, Ning Lingyun returned to her courtyard, and Concubine Xu went to Ning Zu'an's study.Ning Zu'an frowned in his study. Just now, Prince Yi said again and again that he appreciated Ning Huaijing. As for what the prince meant, he was clear: The prince thought that only Ning Huaiji
She really didn't feel that she was protected so well that she could not be hurt.In her previous life, she was so well protected by her parents. When she was in the regions south of the Yangtze River, she had almost no worries. Being carefree, she thought that as long as she was kind to others, others would also be kind to her, but the reality was that she ended up dead because she was too kind and believed others too much."Or my mother thought that I will have the right to know my family background only when I am killed." She looked up at Mother Han with her slightly red eyes while biting her lips."Miss, Miss, I, your old slave, will tell you all. I'll tell you all, okay?" Seeing that Ning Xueyan was so sad, Mother Han had great grief and cried so sadly that she couldn't get up."Mother Han, I know my mother made the decision for my good, but will I be really happy if I don't know about it? What if the marquis has learned it? O
An eardrop!A jade eardrop with rubies at the bottom!The phoenix pattern on the eardrop with a golden hook could be seen clearly!The pattern on this one looked clearer than that on the one she got from Mother Wang, and there were no other traces on this one. Now it was lying quietly in the sachet.It really was that eardrop.Now they were a pair in her hands, looking exactly the same.This meant that what Wen Xueran said was right. She and Ning Ziying really were biological sisters, with the same mark and eardrops as well as two adoptive mothers who concealed their family backgrounds...Ning Xueyan's room was quiet for a long time. Mother Han waited outside her room in fear, and Lanning and Qingyu also waited outside. After a long while, they heard a peaceful voice from the room, "Qingyu.""I'm here." Qingyu walked in hurriedly when she heard Ning Xueyan's call.In
"What? Ning Xueyan is even to hold a flower-admiring banquet! She has officially become the princess of Prince Yi?" In the Foggy Courtyard of Lord Protector's Manor, the dark-faced Ning Qingshan could not remain seated anymore and turned around a few times on the spot."Yes, this is what I heard. Fifth Young Lady is so lucky and has even become the princess of Prince Yi," Mammy Luo sighed. In her opinion, her miss was the best, but why did the Fifth Young Lady become the princess of Prince Yi before her mistress became a princess?"No, I never allow Ning Xueyan to be so easily approved by others as the princess of Prince Yi." Ning Qingshan stopped turning and said hatefully."Miss, that is Prince Yi's Manor. You still want to meddle in!" Mammy Luo was worried. No matter how capable her miss was, she should not meddle in the affairs of Prince Yi's Manor. If Prince Yi was offended, it might cause other problems. That was not worth it. Now her mis
Sure enough, Yun Luoluo got the timing right—she waited until Ning Xueyan woke up from her afternoon nap to come over.She brought only a maid with her. Yesterday, she had formally apologized to Ning Xueyan with the excuse of being deceived and even indignantly expressed that her sister had gone too far this time. Thus, she was able to visit today without any burden.Since Yun Luoluo was a guest at Prince Yi's Manor and they had also agreed to put the past behind them, Ning Xueyan had to respect her. After receiving her master's order, Lanning invited Yun Luoluo in with a bright smile."Princess Ning, I hope you won't find me a nuisance for visiting you again!" Yun Luoluo saw Ning Xueyan the moment she entered and her face was immediately full of smiles.Ning Xueyan's room was so well-decorated that even an experienced person like Yun Luoluo couldn't help being envious after seeing the decorations inside. Her elder sister's room wa
It was still early when Ao Chenyi came over, but he must have stopped somewhere else for his face was covered in sweat. The first thing he did upon arriving was taking a quick bath and then changing into an ordinary home attire. Before marrying him, Ning Xueyan sewed several home attires for him and kept them in the Pear Flower Garden.He had been moving those attires to the Moon-embracing Tower, so there weren't many left here.Thus, aside from running her errands, Ning Xueyan had been sewing more attires for him. This was, of course, the part that made him the happiest.She was rather speechless as she watched him step out of the bathroom with his black hair scattered over his shoulders. She put down her needle and thread, stood up, and grabbed the clean towel that Eunuch Zhu was handing her. After pulling Ao Chenyi toward the couch in front of the bed, she began to dry his hair."If Xianyun stirs up any more trouble, you can kil
When Princess Ning of Prince Yi's Manor sent invitations to her banquet, news spread and caused a commotion.Some were curious, some speculative, some intending to get on her good side... Many manors wanted to get their hands on the invitation.But everyone knew that the banquet was Princess Ning's first official event after being promoted and would thus be a relatively small affair. Priority would be given to young ladies and mistresses from aristocratic families as well as Princely Heirs. After all, Princess Ning was still young and this was the first official banquet thrown in her name.Not many invitations would be sent. Having too many guests would make it hard for Princess Ning to manage the banquet.After the invitations were sent, everyone who received one expressed that they would surely attend.Who would dare to reject an invitation from Prince Yi's Manor? Even if one was without curiosity, not attending migh
