Ning Xueyan was wearing a gorgeous palace costume, which was a light blue dress. She had a belt around her slender waist. There was a train that trailed along the ground, behind her dress. Her hair was studded with pearls. Her face was hidden behind a long, light blue veil. No one could catch a glimpse of her beautiful face.
However, no one could deny that she was a stunning beauty!
Ao Chenyi clasped her slender waist and more than half of her body was enveloped Ao Chenyi's arms. From afar, the delicate young girl seemed to be very pliant. The man beside her was handsome and cold. His cold face seemed as if it was carved from stone. With his cold and piercing eyes, he looked more like the legendary Asura King.
He had a handsome yet malevolent look, and appeared cold and ruthless.
This time, they were at the Third Prince's courtyard again. When they arrived halfway at the yard, they switched to Ao Chenyi's luxurious carriage.
"No!" He decisively put an end to Mingya's suggestion in a drawling voice."Cousin, I'm going to trade four unique beautiful women for a concubine of yours. Won't you agree?" Mingya was already prepared. She reached out and clapped her hands. The door of the hall was wide open and the music was melodious. Everyone could not help but look outside the door, only to see four women appearing in front of them.One was holding the zither, the other was playing the flute, and another two were dancing, as they made their way in.The one who sat down to play the zither, the other who leaned toward one side to play the flute charmingly, as well as the other two beautiful women who danced lightly, were all very good performers. What was most surprising was that these four beauties were identical in looks. They were cute, elegant, charming and aloof. They had different facial expressions, but their facial features were the same.They were all
Even if she stood there and did not leave, the two people were already headed straight for her.Walking in front of her was the slender and graceful County Princess Yuanyun, who had been sitting beside Commandery Princess Mingya. Although she seldom spoke, she gazed at Ning Xueyan frequently. Although she had a curious look when she stared at Ning Xueyan, her slightly raised lips and mocking expression showed her disgust and disdain toward Ning Xueyan.The reason why County Princess Yuanyun disliked Ning Xueyan so much was because Ning Xueyan was Prince Yi's favorite concubine. The news had secretly spread from the palace that she would be one of the two co-consorts of Prince Yi. Speaking of Prince Yi, County Princess Yuanyun used to be "scared."That was what most people thought. Hearing that she was going to marry the bloodthirsty demon king, she paled on the spot. The Great Elder Princess, who came to deliver the news, told her not to be afr
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ao Chenyi said sternly. His cold eyes turned from the maid to the County Princess Yuanyun, who was trembling and clearly shaken. The words that came from his mouth became more and more violent. "Otherwise, I'll kill your whole clan."If this threat had been said by someone else, the maid might not believe it. However, when she heard it directly from the most famous bloodthirsty devil in the capital, she believed it more than 10,000 times over."County Princess, save me, save me." She was so frightened that she could only turn to the County Princess Yuanyun for help."I, this... this is my maid..." The County Princess Yuanyun tried her best to calm down and spoke to Ao Chenyi. However, when she saw his eyes which looked as cold as that of a poisonous snake, she stopped talking."She's the County Princess's maid, so she's at my disposal." Ao Chenyi smiled sinisterly. "Send her away."Two tall
In the end, the matter of the County Princess Yuanyun was suppressed. Then, there were rumors in the capital city. Following the example of the Third Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor, the County Princess Yuanyun would cultivate quietly in the nunnery to pray for her dead father's soul. The rumors were spread all over the capital city. People said that the County Princess Yuanyun was not only noble, but also filial.Compared with the Third Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor, she was a rare and good girl.However, another rumor gradually spread, saying that the reason why the County Princess Yuanyun went to the nunnery was that she had no choice, but to do so. Initially, she had a fiancé, but she framed another woman before she got married. She was extremely vicious.At first, only a few people were talking about this rumor. Most of them did not believe it. But somehow, the rumor became more and more rampant and mystifying. Some peo
Seeing that a concubine even though herself high and said something so offensive, Ning Xueyan sneered. "Junior Concubine Xu, how do you know I was doomed to be incompatible with the imperial family? Do you mean all the Young Ladies who were eliminated in the contest were born at odds with the imperial family?" Although she said in a soft voice, she showed no mercy to fight back.Junior Concubine Xu was so embarrassed that she could not even utter a word. All the Young Ladies who had been eliminated in the contest were from noble families, of course, she did not dare to offend so many of them. Even if she were Lord Protector's wife, she would not dare to say yes, let alone she was only a concubine.When she heard what Ning Xueyan said, Junior Concubine Xu's face turned pale and all the words got stuck in her throat."Enough! Since you have offered your greetings, you can leave now. It's unnecessary to have such trifles ruin our mood." Madam Dowa
"Fifth Sister, you're smart to say so." Ning Huaiyuan tapped the table to show his admiration for Ning Xueyan. "In fact, it's quite simple. I didn't offer to make a match, but someone asked me to do this, so I have to tell you. He is noble and nice, so if you can be with him, you'll have a promising future. We may need to count on you later.""Who is it?" Ning Xueyan asked vigilantly."Fifth Sister, don't worry. Of course, it's Fourth Prince." Ning Huaiyuan laughed and gestured Ning Xueyan to sit down. Then he continued, "Fifth Sister, Fourth Prince has a deep affection for you. He had made up his mind to marry you at first sight. If you could be chosen in the Beauty Contest this time, he would definitely ask His Majesty to marry you to him. With your condition, you'll become his co-consort at least.""Fourth Prince Ao Mingwan?" Ning Xueyan frowned. She didn't have much contact with Fourth Prince before, even less than the contact with Third Pr
"What happened to Ning Huaijing?" Ning Xueyan sat down and asked."Miss, Childe Ning is very popular in the Qingyun Academy, but he got into a fight with someone and knocked him out! That person's family is very powerful, so Childe Ning was put into prison before he could defend himself," Mother Han answered anxiously.It had happened suddenly, so when she got the news from Han Dazhuang, Childe Ning had already been taken away."Ning Huaijing fought with someone? He doesn't look like a person who knows how to fight!" Ning Xueyan thought."Who was that guy that got slapped?"“It's said he came from a rich family. As his family is wealth and power, he always bullies people. Actually, they didn't fight for anything big. That person deliberately provoked Childe Ning, calling him a b*stard, so Childe Ning beat him out of anger. Then somehow that person hit the wall and fainted.”Mother Han wiped her sweat and e
Madam Yu left with terror. The servant looked around before returning to the study to report to Ning Zu'an. Seeing them leaving, Xinmei walked out from behind a tree. She snorted after taking a look in the direction the older female servant had left and then turned and headed for Bright Frost Garden.Ning Xueyan was picking cloth at Bright Frost Garden.Ao Chenyi had sent her the message through a pigeon last night, informing her to prepare some new clothes for him as her dowry, the more, the better.Ning Xueyan was surprised that Ao Chenyi had sent her a message so formally just for such a trifle. She was speechless and was about to ignore it. However, this morning, the pigeon brought another note which had the same content as yesterday. Ning Xueyan had to take it seriously.Worrying that he might stir up trouble, she sent back a note to tell him that she had got his message.It was a custom for brides in the capital
