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
A young eunuch stood in an inconspicuous spot by Chuihua Gate, watching young ladies and mistresses walking down the road, sometimes in groups of three or four. It was a lively sight. No one noticed the young eunuch standing in a corner.A maid walked out of the gate, looking all around. There were many guests at the manor today, and many maids kept coming in and out. Thus, she was equally as inconspicuous.Suddenly, her eyes brightened when she potted the young eunuch. She immediately walked over to him. This wasn't their first meeting; both knew each other well.One was Ning Qingshan's maid Caifen and the other was Ao Mingyu's personal eunuch.The two of them exchanged a few words under the tree before going their separate ways. One entered the backyard while the other entered the outer courtyard.On the other side, a dainty young lady found her way to the Moon-embracing Tower like she had been there many times. Seei
"What's the matter? Third Young Lady Ning, you really know how to act. I can't believe you'd run all the way here to find men on your lame foot. You should've told me earlier; I could have prepared you eight or ten for you so you could fulfill your lust." Ao Xian looked Ning Qingshan up and down while clicking his tongue twice. He spoke bluntly without giving her any face.When he remembered that Ning Qingshan had ruined an engagement that he was happy with and harmed the woman that he wanted to marry to the point that their engagement was broken off, he felt anger rise in him. Having learned about Ning Qingshan's handicapped foot from Ning Lingyun, he held no qualms about saying whatever he could to hurt Ning Qingshan."What are you saying, you playboy?" His words sent Ning Qingshan panicking. If such a rumor about her were spread, she wouldn't be able to hold her head high again."Did I say something wrong? Hadn't the Third Prince catch us re
Everyone saw a surprised-looking maid of Prince Yi's Manor behind them.Seeing that Third Young Lady Ning had been warned earlier, it became apparent that her motive in coming here wasn't so pure. There was also the fact that the Third Prince decided to return in the middle of their stroll. Could it be that they had planned for a rendezvous?And at the Prince Yi's Manor, at that! The Third Prince wasn't acting in a way that befitted his status."Third Sister insisted on coming here, saying that there might be a place we can rest in. She said her foot isn't well," Ning Lingyun explained on her sister's behalf. Her explanation, however, made everyone look at Ning Qingshan's legs and made the latter feel like her secret had been exposed. She even felt that they were giving her extra glances because they noticed that her foot was lame."Shut up! Stop talking!" Ning Qingshan retorted angrily. She wanted to strangle Ning Lingyun to death
"Is Second Young Lady inside?" Commandery Princess Xianyun stood at the window and looked in the direction of the Moon-embracing Tower. From here, she could see the tall building in the distance."She's inside. I saw her saying something to the guards before going in. I waited outside for a while but didn't see her come out," Qiuhuan said, bowing her head.A gloomy smile appeared on Commandery Princess Xianyun's face. "Is the Prince inside?""Yes. The Prince went out early in the morning but came back. He hasn't come out since." Qiuhuan had asked a few people and got the same answer."Good!" Commandery Princess Xianyun said. Her face, which had been gloomy for the past few days, revealed a sinister, smug look.It didn't matter if Yun Luoluo truly entered Ao Chenyi's room. As long as Ao Chenyi was in the Moon-embracing Tower, as long as Yun Luoluo come out with her clothes disheveled, he would have no choice but to bear
