Chapter 328 Scheming, a Show by the County Princess Yuanyun
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Even 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.

But somehow, the rumor became more and more rampant and mystifying. Some peo
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 331 Arrogant, Junior Concubine Xu's Provocation
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

Wen Xueran was also surprised to see Ning Xueyan here. He took two steps back and looked at the name of the compartment above. Ning Xueyan was also surprised. Then, he shook the folding fan in his hand and walked in with a calm look. He had an amorous look in his eyes.Ning Xueyan was speechless at the look on his exceedingly beautiful face. She did not think that she and Wen Xueran were that familiar with each other.But since he had come in and was an acquaintance, she could not ignore him.Helplessly, she stood up and smiled at Wen Xueran, "Princely Heir, are you in the wrong compartment?""Yes, the character outside looks similar. I'm in the wrong place. But it's also good, since I'm lucky to have met you, Fifth Young Lady." Wen Xueran raised his face, which was as beautiful as a woman's.

The woman in the portrait was dressed in a gorgeous palace dress. Even with the layers of clothes she had on, she still looked very slender. She had exquisite facial features and a lovely appearance. She was about twenty years old. Her watery eyes were sparkling, and her beauty was natural. She leaned on a couch, amidst the falling peach blossoms and her beauty was enhanced by the peach blossoms falling from the tree."Young Lady, look, is it her?" Wen Xueran stretched out his hand and asked, pointing at the beauty in the forest of peach trees.The woman looked left, then right. It seemed that she could not make up her mind at the moment. When she raised her head and saw that his beautiful, amorous eyes were fixed on her attentively, her heartbeat accelerated. She hurriedly lowered her head and said in a panic, "It looks... very similar, but it doesn't seem to be ... the same."Looking carefully, she did not know what was different. She pointed

"What will you do now?" Ning Xueyan had to take two quick steps to catch up with Ao Chenyi's pace. "Destroy the nine barbarian states alongside Wen Xueran?""No." Ao Chenyi raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously. "I'll negotiate with Wen Xueran."Confused, she repeated, "Negotiate?""The people of the nine barbarian states have always been different from those of the central plains. They're valiant and barbaric. For many years, they have wanted to invade us. If it weren't for the princes of Annan holding down the front, the nine barbarian states would have attacked us a long time ago. Annan troops have fought the nine barbarian states more than our troops did, and they have a better chance of winning too."Ao Chenyi said calmly. He didn't like the nine barbarian states in the slightest. If it weren't his father forbidding him from going to the faraway hinterland of the nine barbarian states, where death was almost certain, he wo

Ao Chenyi was so close that his handsome face was all that Ning Xueyan could see, and he didn't look all that happy. Then, she realized that she had been holding tightly onto a strand of his black hair.She flung her hand and hastily released the strand of hair in her hand. She even caressed the hair on his temples with a wide smile. "Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you wake me up?"Ning Xueyan looked truly confused as if she really didn't know that she had grabbed Ao Chenyi's hair until it hurt."Playing dumb, huh?" he said coldly, frowning at her. His slender fingers reached out and lightly pinched the wing of her nose."Ouch!" Ning Xueyan held her nose pitifully. Her limpid eyes seemed glazed over as if brewing tears."Now you know it hurts!" Ao Chenyi's thin lips were curved into a smile. He was satisfied to see her not daring to voice her frustration.Ning Xueyan nodded firmly without

"Can you remember it now?" Ao Chenyi narrowed his eyes and knocked on their table with his slender fingers. His voice sounded a tad threatening."I… I really can't remember." Ning Xueyan felt like she had thought of all the possible answers but she was still coming up empty. She had no choice but to admit her fault."You really can't remember?" His beautiful eyes curved into a charming arc and his expression was sinister. Sure enough, this was a bad situation to be in. She didn't even hesitate to grab his hand with a bright smile on her tender face."Even if I can't remember, you can still remind me, right?" She knew it would pay well to cajole this man.Ao Chenyi wasn't polite with her either. He turned his hand over and pinched her soft face. His expression had improved considerably. There was a faint smile on his face as he asked, "If I tell you, can you really understand and remember what it is?""Of course I can!"

Madam Ming would be a fine mother. She had also asked someone to watch over Madam Ming and the newborn. Their statuses in the previous dynasty had vanished like smoke. Time was always moving forward and the changing of imperial dynasties was inevitable.The only tragedy was the eternal separation of her from her husband, and of her from her daughters.The only reason she had written the letter was that she couldn't help herself. If she never said anything, her child would never know the truth. That would have been for the best. Yet, she couldn't accept this, so she would hand the letter to the person who would be looking after Madam Ming. If Ning Ziying's identity was revealed to the world one d

The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 672 News from Ming Feiyong

She even killed the maid that discovered the tunnel with her and accompanied her in walking through the tunnel. In other words, she was the only one who knew about it," Ning Xueyan explained.This was the Empress' secret. To prove it, she used Yun Luoluo's incident as an example. When Ning Xueyan was drugged in Chenyuan Palace, the Empress wanted to take her to a room. There, a man would sneak into the palace through the secret tunnel.If Ning Xueyan woke up and discovered herself in disheveled clothes in the presence of another man, she would surely panic.

"It was and wasn't an accident. He could only blame himself. No matter what, he was the one who forced my hand and cornered me to this state. He ruined my everything. Him dying in my hands could be considered as his retribution."The Empress began to look calm again. She turned her head and stared at Ning Xueyan with a trace of sadness in her eyes. "I invited you here to ask you to let go of my family. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with my family. They're just a small and useless noble family. In exchange for their safety, I'll tell you a secret."Her voice had lost her previous agitation and anger, leaving only a sense of helplessness. She had never put any hope in her family. She thought that she would be able to help her people after gaining power but now that she was in trouble, she was worried that her family would be implicated and sentenced to death.She had resented her family countless times for marrying her off to the Empero
