The bookshelves upstairs were bigger than those downstairs, so when she, who was not tall, wanted to take the book on the top layer of a shelf, she could not reach it, though it was close. Now she could only watch it but could not do anything. Lanning, who was about the same height as her, tried a few times but could not reach it, either.
"Fifth Young Lady, let me help you." A gentle, smiling voice came from the side. Next, a hand came, and the person easily took down a book from the layer of the bookshelf above Ning Xueyan.
Looking up, she saw that it was Cheng Yu's gentle face with somewhat romance and elegance. When passing the book, he was extremely respectful and never stared at her as if it was no bother indeed.
When they came upstairs just now, Ning Xueyan parted with Ning Qingshan and Ning Lingyun. At this time, she did not know where they had gone. Beside the tall bookshelf were only she, her servant, and Cheng Yu. Although Cheng Yu be
Behind the bookshelf, Ning Lingyun stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of her, almost unable to realize it for a moment.Cheng Yu was pale, almost unbelievably looking at the girl wearing a Chinese veiled hat in front of him. He leaned against the bookshelf in the back, and there was slight anger in his eyes. As a talented person, he was always proud and had never been slapped in front of so many people.Even the beautiful woman he liked could not do this way. Besides, shouldn't the beautiful woman he liked look at him gently and shyly!"What's going on, Brother Cheng?" Xia Yudong turned around, saw the scene before him, and asked with astonishment.The manners Cheng Yu showed just now did not seem to mean that he would offend Ning Xueyan. Although he was not married, he was not called the romantic talented man for no reason. To the ladies he had a crush on, he would never act too rudely."Second Childe Xia, this
The three people coming out together was a show of sisterhood. But after this incident, Ning Xueyan did not want to express any true feelings of sisters anymore. Anyway, those words were used to fool Madam Dowager. In fact, even Ning Lingyun did not take it seriously, so the three of them parted at the door of the bookshop.Ning Xueyan simply took the carriage away, saying that she wanted to go to her newly opened shop, and she did not invite the two of them to go there. As for where Ning Qingshan and Ning Lingyun were going next, it had nothing to do with her.Ning Qingshan never wanted to give her carriage to Ning Xueyan, but what happened just now was unsuccessful, and it had been found by Ning Xueyan, so she could only watch Ning Xueyan get on the carriage, make her handkerchief into a ball in her hand, glare at Ning Xueyan's leaving with her carriage, and kick the ground hard.Unexpectedly, she kicked the ground with her injured leg, and t
Surely, the auspicious date chosen by the palace would not be delayed by the fact that the elder brother of a consort would take an examination, so Ning Xueyan's wedding would not be delayed by Ning Huaiyuan's taking the imperial examination.The dowry would be sent the day before. Since Ning Xueyan was a consort, she did not need to put up pageantry as Commandery Princess Xianyun did, but all the relatives and friends had been informed. Today was not the wedding date, so only a few close marital relatives came to the Lord Protector's Manor.Ning Xueyan got up relatively early and visited Madam Dowager to send her morning greeting. Rarely, Madam Dowager asked Ning Xueyan to have breakfast with her, and Ning Xueyan also chatted with Madam Dowager for a while. Ning Qingshan and Ning Lingyun were also there. Ostensibly, the three of them were in harmony, and Madam Dowager was very satisfied with it.The rare scene was that Madam Dowager Liu even c
"This person is really puzzling. When happiness should be his, he could not take it, but after I died, now he becomes desperate and is regretful."Ning Xueyan could not tell what this feeling was and only felt that this was very boring. "In this world, it is useless to only have regrets about many things."And she was no longer the same Ning Ziying who was so obedient to Xia Yuhang back then.She turned around and happened to avoid Xia Yuhang's eagerly stretched hand. With clear watery eyes, she looked at Xia Yuhang extremely coldly, and the look in her eyes could be called piercing cold. "What are you doing, Eldest Brother-in-law? Do you still have the vain hope of getting the consort of Prince Yi's Manor? Ning Ziying is already dead. Didn't you see the dead bones in the lotus pond, Eldest Brother-in-law?"These words successfully stopped Xia Yuhang's hand. Immediately, the impulse caused by his excitement was frozen as if he had
Of the several princes, only Third and Fourth Princes had grown up and had their own mansions outside. It was said that in a period of time, the emperor would officially give them titles. Anyway, he must let them have official titles before they got married.Previously, Third Prince's house had a fire, and the main fire site was in the front yard. Although urgent repairs were done at this time, the house had not been completely repaired yet. Therefore, Ao Mingyu's meeting place was moved to the backyard. Fortunately, these few women who lived in his inner courtyard did not have titles, so he did not feel this action was reckless.Ao Mingyu and Xia Yuhang sat in the new study. Xia Yuhang was fiddling with the celadon teacup in his hand, absorbed in thought, and his uncontrollable and excited look that appeared just now had already gone. Instead, he was calm and elegant and even had a smile, but Ao Mingyu walked around twice in the room, looking angry.
"Fifth Sister, you are really beautiful. I've never seen anyone more beautiful than you, and you are even more beautiful than the fairies in heaven," Ning Lingyun, who came to give her gifts to the bride, sat on the side to see Ning Xueyan being dressed and given makeup and said with a smile in the tone of the bridesmaids."The Marquis's Manor is indeed a nice place for people to live in. The ladies here compete with each other in looks." The bridesmaid was a sweet talker and took a quick look at them. "The two ladies of the Marquis's Manor are also extremely excellent. Without Fifth Young Lady Ning, the stunning beauty, as a comparison, the two ladies are rare beauties, especially Third Young Lady Ning who is said to be the consort of Third Prince soon. She is charming and graceful."So, she blurted out these nice words.Due to the fact that Ning Yuling and Ning Ziyan committed wrongdoings time after time these days, Madam Dowager did not let
The occupants of the Lord Protector's Manor realized that it was just a false alarm and the incident had nothing to do with them. Only God knew whose family's marriage sedan did those black-clothed men hijack. When Ning Xueyan woke up and rested for a while, the porters started carrying the sedan as normal. The incident left Ning Zu'an so nervous that he dispatched several of the manor's guards to protect Ning Xueyan's wedding entourage.Prince Yi's Manor also received news of the sedan hijacking but Prince Yi didn't stay out to receive the guests. His magnificent wedding robe appeared to be the handiwork of the palace, but it was the same one that Ning Xueyan had embroidered. It had the design as the robe that the palace had embroidered for him.Ao Chenyi stood in front of the mirror in his wedding robe and looked at his reflection with satisfaction. When he heard voices outside his door, he languidly walked out with his long hair draped over his shoulders
Although Consort Ning was fine, she had suffered some shock, so Prince Yi had gone to her place to comfort her. However, her mistress was his princess, so why wasn't he visiting her instead?"Where is His Highness?" Commandery Princess Xianyun directly asked, lowering her eyes."Princess, I heard that Consort Ning has fainted. Her health has always been poor and she also suffered a great shock today. His Highness is worried, so he has gone to check on her." A sympathetic Qiuhuan reached out to massage her mistress' legs. Her mistress had been sitting for so long that her legs and feet must have gone numb.Commandery Princess Xianyun had kept her body very still from the moment she sat on the marital bed. It had been such a long time since. Moving her legs and feet now brought on a wave of numbness that nearly made her cry out in pain."She fainted? On the first day of her marriage?" A sneer appeared on Commandery Princess Xianyun's
